We Can Farm Better Now

Yes, we can afford to farm bette
now, and since the world needs our
products so badly, and is willing
to pay us we'll for them, it really
becomes our duty to farm better.
1t has been said in the past that
the American farmer has farmed
as we'll as he could afford to con-
sidering the low prices that he re-
ceived for his products. AS a re-
suit of this necessity he has led
the world in production per man,
but has fallen behind in produc-
tion per acre. With 1925 wheat,
50 corn, $50 hogs, and prices of
other products in proportion, it
certainly seems that the American
farmer can begin to improve his
acre production very proftably. In
other words, we can afford to be-
gin to farm more intensively. This
means that we can put more labor
on the production of our crop

LAYTON OPPOSED
DAYLIGHT SAVING

The majority of the people of
Delaware are opposed to the day
light saving bill, according to DR..
Caleb R. Layton, Representative in
Congress. He favors the repeal of
the measure and is quo-ed as fol-
lows:
81 represent both industrial and
agricultural interests. Virtually
all the farmers desire the repeal
of the law. The industrial COM
munity is divided about fifty-fifty,
| should judge. At any rate the
manufacturers and commercial
men are by no means in agreement
on the matter. | believe the peo-
pie of Delaware as a whole, and
the people of the nation desire re-
peal. They were satisfied with the
law as a war necessity, just as they
stood for other inconvenience in
the name Of patriotism, but they
see no further need for it I repre-
sent the whole State of Delaware
all kinds of people, and not any
one interest. Therefore, | shall
vote as l believe they would have
me vote on this question"

Laying Away All Titles

A country withou; generals, col
onels, majors or captains,> unless
they are wearing the uniform of
the United States!
That will be strange. 1t will be
a great change.
An officers title to be laid aside
when he puts off his uniform and
perhaps be forgotten instead of
sticking to him for the rest of his
life, a pleasing thing to him and
a convenient instrument of flattery
to his friends!
The Kentucky colonels must be
in dismay.
But such is the decree of the
joint executive committee of the
American Legion, and it is expect
ed it will be ratified by the ma
tional convention at Minneapolis
in November. 1t is in the interests,
avowedly, Of democracy. 1t is to
make the American Legion safe
for democracy. In the Legion are
to be men who were of all ranks
in the army, and it is no, intended
that those who were of subordin,
ate rank and non-coms and priv
ates shall be constantly reminded
Of this fact in the titles affixed tt
those who in the service were theil
superiors.

Crabs As Food For Hogs

Nature is helping the producer
grow food at a minimum cost for
the laboring masses in Delaware.
High in nutritive value and also
appealing to the tastes of working
men in this State is hog meat, and
as the price of beef has been al
most prohibitive, at every laborer's
home, and especially farm houses,
one will find large pens filled with
swine. But as the price of corn
has scared beyond all expectations,
making the chief food for pigs out
of reach of the ordinary purse, and
which is fed by the farmer would
make it impossible to produce pork
meat at a price that many in this
section could afford to pay. But
just as corn began to bring un-
heard-of prices nature came with
aid. This year, from Kits Ham
mock to Broadklin Beach, the
shore has been lined with king
crabs, and the producers have
found that in the live state these
crabs have made a par excellent
food for hogs, and after every high
tide wagon loads are being carted
from the shores to the pens, thus
enabling those raising hogs to feed
them nourishing food without in
curing any great expense; and If
no unforeseen contagious disease
attacks the herds the Delaware
laboring man next winter will be
able to obtain his accustomed food
without straining the strings of
his Observation-Disclosures Times.

 thousands of them for distribution on request. The books have been deliv-

OLD C0LDDAYS REPR0DUCEDN
 MOUNTAIN PLAY

SAN FRANCESCA May 23 (by As sociated Press. The annual play on Mount Tamalpais was presented Mon- day by the Mountain Play Association at the natural amphitheatre on the southern slope. Thousands of "hik- CTS" toiled up the seven miles of trails 2,O0O feet above Mill Valley to wit ness the perofrmance of Tally Ho, a play founded on the days of '49 and written by Joaquin Miller, "The poet of the Sierras."
 The poets daughter, Miss Juanita Miller, enacted the principal feminine role of Rosie Lane, "The White Rose of the Sierras," and sang the incl. dental music. which was by John Sousa.
 Tally Ho was inspired by the story of Horace Greeley's stage coach ride over the Sierras, when Hank Monk most famous of stage drivers, held the reins over his six-horse team, and boasted that he always arrived on time. The men who seventy years ago wrung fortune from an unwilling earth were made to live again in their miners garb by the actors Monday on Tamalpais' rocks. The sheriff "who does his duty" was there, and so was Bill, the sailor, who deserted his ship in search of gold, the plot being com. plicated by the struggle of Tom Crab tree, gentleman gambler and Judge Brown for the possession of the papers and the claim.
 The players, all amateurs, had been drilled for months, and their costumes were those of "the days of old, the days of gold, the days of '49." A large orchestra, from a concealed position provided the music. The audience, es timated at 4,500, sat on the ground in half-circle of the natural bowl among the rocks and trees. From the bowl downward stretched Muir Woods, national park Of magnificent redwood trees. To the south the ship. covered waters of San Francisco bay could be seen, and to the west rolled the vast Pacific.
 Previous productions by the Noun. tain Play Association have been Abraham and Isaac," miracle play i; "Shakuntala,' translated from the Sanskirt; Rip Van Winkle," William Tell" "Jeppe-on-the-Hill" and Robin Hood The objects are to popYlarize the mountain and to create love for the out of doors. When there is a financial profit, it is applied to the building of trails.

MRS. WILSON PERSONALLY
 MEETS SOLDIER BOYS

LONDON, May 23 (by Associated Press) Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is showing much interest in the. welfare and comfort of American soldiers on leave in Paris. Recently she visited the American Red Cross tent city on the Champs de Mars where accommo- dations have been established for !,6O0 of them.
 The wife of the President made a thorough tour of the Red Cross camp, making inquiries of the Red Cross women concerning the preparation of the food and the methods of serving. When a camion loaded with fresh, warm apple pies arrived from Red Gross kitchen Mrs. Wilson sampled the pastry.
 During her tour bouquet of flowers tied with the French national colors was presented to Mrs. Wilson. A French soldier with an armless sleeve but hppy smile, made the presenta- tion speech. Mrs. Wilson carried the flowers in her arms during the re- mainder of her visit. She showed an enthusiastic interest in everything, giving special praise and commenda- tion to the recreation huts. where dances are held, the reading and writ ing rooms, and the arrangement of the fifty large canvas dormitories.
 She was received by Major Francis Boyer, manager of the Northeastern zone of the Red Cross, Miss Ethel Burnett, directrice of the tent city, and Miss Lila Mcclellan of Texas.
 Noticing the number of men gath cred to salute her as she left, Mrs. Wilson expressed the wish to greet them personally. An informal .recep- ton was held in front of the camp. the soldiers forming in line and shak- ing hands with the Presidents wife as they filed past.
