Good Use Made Of
Dehorning Shears

Dehorning shears find continual
use in the Vocational Agricultural
Deartment of the high schools in
the State of Delaware in which
animal industry has been taught
during the past year. Dehorning
shears were a part Of the list OF
equipment and the students in the
department were taught how y
dehorn cattle.
The boys not only learned how to
dehorn cattle, but have gone on in
many cases and have dehorned the
entire herd on their home farm.
In addition to this, the dehorning
shears in several of the depart
ments Of vocational agriculture
have been in continual use during
the biggest part Of the year, for
farmers having that work to do
have borrowed the shears on the
condition that if they are broken,
they will be responsible for the
breakage and its repair. Figures
cannot be given at this time to show
how many cattle have been de-
horned, but the number will be
large, for applications for use OF
the shares are made almost daily
in some schools.

What Is a Good Fellow?

What is good fellow? The term
has been abused in past years by
the corruption Of politics and busi-
ness through personal influence. A
good fellow should be synonymous
with a good man. Such man does
not use "pull' to thwart justice
or to further the interests Of him
self or his cronies to the prejudice
Of deserving merit. To be a good
man, one must have healthy mind
in healthy body-a mind attuned
to fine ideals in an instrument for
applying the ideals of the mind to
physical activities. A man cannot
stand still, mentally, physically,
morally, financially or otherwise.
He must either progress or 60 back
ward. To a real good fellow, his
physical being is chariot in which
his soul rides "Ad astra per as
ito the stars through hard
ships.-The Rotaridn.

Handclapping Is
. Not Always Applause

A certain theatrical troupe, after
a dreary and unsuccessful tour,
finally arrived in a small New Jer-
sey town. That night, though there
was no furor or general uprising of
the audience, there was enough
hand clapping to arouse the
troupe's detected spirits.
The leading man stepped to the
footlights after the first act and
bowed profoundly. Still the clap
ping continued. When he went be-
hind the scenes he saw an Irish
stagehand laughing heartily.
"Well, what do you think OF
that?' asked the actor, throwing
out his chest.
"What dye mane?" replied the
Irishman.
"Why, the handclapping out
there was the reply.
HandclappingY"
YES" replied the Thespian
"they are giving me enough ap.
plause to show they appreciate
me.'

Better Pastures Needed Says
Extension Service News

"We need better pastures in Del
aware" is the statement made by
a good many dairymen and others
interested in livestock improve
ment. Live stock naturally follows
localities with good, natural pas
lures. Delaware pastures are not
only low producing on the average,
but short lived. In most sections
Of our state it takes twice the area
of land to pasture a COW that is re-
quired in other equally favored
dairy sections. Unless this situa-
ton is corrected it means more
feed bought and more labor ex-
pended and consequent lowered
return for our dairymen.
The Soils and Crops Specialist of
the College is ready to cooperate
with farmers in all sections who
wish to establish permanent pas
lures. It is believed that mixtures
Of grasses can be secured which will
give good satisfaction under almost
all conditions in the state. We do
not know Of any one problem which
our farm bureaus may take up that
will produce greater returns to
Delaware farmers than to solve the
pasture problem.
Our country is a notorious ex-
ample of one neglecting the pasture
problem. Can it be solved in Del
aware? We believe it can if the
matter is taken up promptly and is
given proper consideration. A long
time pasture will not only pay in
itself, but will do much to make
succeeding crops give increased
yields and a profitable return for
the previous treatment. - Farm
Bureau News.

CITIZENS WHO FAIL
TO VOTE MERIT
APPROBRIUM
Officials Blamed Too Much,
Delinquent Citizens
Not Enough

Let those gentlement who con-
slider themselves quite too respect
able and decent to mingle in our
elections, remember that God AL
mighty will hold them responsible
for the manner in which they dis
charge their duty as voters. That
right and privilege is not given to
them for their benefit, or to be used
at their pleasure, but for my bene-
fit, for your benefit, and for the
benefit of the thirty millions of peo-
pie in the United States. If one
sees an unworthy man go to the
polls and take possession of the
government, and he will not pre-
vent it, if there be such a thing as
future responsibilities we all be-
lieve-that man will have some
thing to answer for upon that final
day when all Of us must account
for our acts.
Do you suppose that the old men
who published that Declaration of
Independence, which gave birth to
your national existence, for the
maintenance of which they appeal
ed to the God Of nations, approve
of this neglect? They felt their
own weakness, they, acting upon
the commonly accepted principles
of human reason, felt that they
would perish in the conflict into
which they were then about to
enter; and at last, as poor feeble
man always does when he feels he
has nothing to lean upon but his
own arm, he goes to the Almighty
for help in that hour of trouble.
They appealed to Him, and He
answered well in the day Of their
trial; and all the struggles they
endured, all the blood they shed,
all the pains and privations they
suffered, were simply to end in
Just one thing-in communicating
to every rational free man equal
power to govern the nation. That
office they communicated to YOU
the voting people of the country.
Did they suppose could they
have believed-that the people OF
this country, the respectable people
of the land, would so scorn the
great and priceless estate which
they left them, as that they would
not attend to appointing the agents
to take care of it, but they some
mercenary spirit was to take care
Of them. = **
Don't let us blame our Presi.
dents so much Dn't let us anathe,
Matte the men we have elected tC
these offices Of state, too much
Let us abue the people who elected
them. They are to blame fol
wrongs done, if any have been
done. If you elect a judge, and he
does not attend at court, and if ar
innocent man is hanged because he
was not there to try him, what dc
you do with him? You impeact
him. He is removed from office
and the brand of disgrace and
ignominy is placed upon his brow
But you can be absent from elec
tions, and let unworthy men be
elected to office. You don't like
some party of other. The judge
might say he did not like his asso
ciate; he did not like to sit neal
him-he had not a very sweet
breath. I tell you, sirs, that is
quite as valid as many of the ex
cuses that men make for staying
away from elections.-Thomas Cor

u. MAY RELY
UPON BANKS IN
DEFICIT CRISIS
Congress Leaders Anxious
Over Meeting 1921 Indebted
ness of $4,000, 100000.
NEW BOND ISSUE LIKELY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Congressional
leaders are today looking to the Amer
lean banks to carry the government
| through a period of financial stress dur
| ing the fiscal year 1921.
| With an almost certain deficit of three
| billion dollars for the fiscal year 1927
| leaders in congress are hopeful that this
may be carried by short-term treasury
/ notes sold to the banks.
If the banks are unable to absorb
short-term notes to the extent of three
billion dollars, there are but two alter
| natives, new taxes or new bond issue
and both democrats and republicans in
congress are opposed to such means OF
meeting the deficit
WAR TAXES HAVE
BECOME UNPOPULAR.
Already there Is a popular cry against
war taxes, and to make new taxes would
bring a storm of protest against congress
that would be reflected in the elections
The same holds practically true of new
bond issue.
Congressional leaders do not feel that
the public wants another bond issue.
81 do not know how congress is going
to meet the 1921 financial problems of the
government" said Representative Henry
T. Rainey of Illinois, a veteran of the
house ways and means committee, today
Facing us in the next fiscal year we see
Expenditures piling up to a huge total OF
approximat ely nine billion dollars. We
know that revenues from all sources I'M
der existing law will not exceed in all
probability six billion dollars. There Is
a certain deficit of about three billion
dollars facing the government.
GOVERNMENT MUST
CONFRONT DEFICIT.
THE government must make up this
deficit in some way. Ways open are by
increased taxes and new taxes; bond is
sue or short term treasury certificates
sold to banks. But the banks may be
unable to lend to the government all the
money 1t needs"
Congress today faced one of its bust
est weeks both in committees and on
the floors of the house and senate. In
the senate the bipartisan treaty confer
ences were to be resumed In Senator
Lodges office; the Russian investigating
committee was to proceed with the hear
ing of Ludwig G. A. X. Martens; the
commerce committee was TO hear western
shipbuilders regarding a permanent mer-

work on the army reorganization bill F.;

the morals Of the Newport, r. l., train
ing station and another was to continue
its investigation of the navy depart
ment The appropriation committee has
three appropriation bills before it which

coon AMEnloAN DOCTRINE.

IN IlHt' ROOT former Secretary Of State and Of
Il Americas foremost statesmen and Republicans made
scaihng arragnment Of the Wilson administration and
splendid declaration Of American and Republican prin-
epes and policies in his address before the unofficial
Republican state Convention in New York on Thursday
evening.
wha. he said has attracted nationwide attention and
approval
careful reading Of his address shows that the most
important proposals made by him follows
Decentralization Of Executive powers
Ratification Of the Peace Treaty with the Senate
amendments.
Reform Of the League OF Nations Covenant by Con-
gress by Nations establish the rule Of public right
rather than the rule Of expedency.
Rigid government economy and the adoption Of bud
get system.
Limitation Of the right to stike and the establish
Of a labor tribunal with power to enforce its man
dates
Revision Of the system Of taxation involving the tariff.
Amercanizaton and universal military training.
Among other things, Mr.. Root said:
More important than all is the necessity that we shall
restore republican form Of government put
end to the dictatorship which we created in order to
carry on the war"
ut is not in human nature to relnqush readily power
once possessed A government with a Louis
Napoleon at end and pebscite at the other is not
free republic It is autocracy by consent"
III the occasion for acting under Article X when it
came did not appeal TO the judgment and sympahies OF
the people Of the United States 1t would be impossible
comply with the agreement ana the worst possible thing
the pace Of the world would happen-hat the United
States should have made solemn treaty and should
break it,"
officials and agents Of the present Administration
have acquired the habit OF spending public money with
both hands, and they do not know how to stop"
Russian Bolsheysm has set out upon definite under
taking to destroy all existing democratic governments
The assault Is too substantial to be wisely ignored
One Of the things the Republican party has
do apparently is to clear lot Of Bolsheyki or SYM
pathzers with BolsheyM out of the public offices Of our
government"
I'VE should not attempt to take away the right TO
strike But we should, by law. limit the right to
strike at the point where comes in conflict with the
communIty's higher right Of sef-prosewstion"
That is good American doctrine. It blazes the way
public and party action
