WHAT'S WRONG?

With all her faults we love her. We
sometimes grumble because everything
doesn't go to suit us, and sometimes
we find things that are really wrong
and demand that they be righted. But
after all we love the town. It's a good
town. It's as good as the best of us
who live here. It's bad spots are only
as the worst of u.s..
True enough we mustn't put on
binders and fail to see the bad spots
provided we fix them when we sec
them. We must work hard every day
to rub out the stains and patch up the
breaks. and build. Build a bigger and
better town. Build stronger and
a cleaner town.
Some folks are chemically pessi-
mistic. Some folks can't see that the
city is building better streets, that the
parks are we'll kept, that lawns and
lots are being cleaned, that there have
been practically no business failures.
Some folks can't understand that
what the city Is depends on what the
individuals in the city are. They as
ser that "a few old tight wads have
everything sewed up" and instead of
getting busy unsewing. they just sit
back and wait.
About the only thing anybody ever
gets by waiting is a street car.
Let's just go ahead and conduct our
business on high plane, do our own
work well. watch out for our civic af-
fairs, put an end to useless knocking
and tell the world what good town
we really have.

its present dire extremity
And what is tits present dire ex-
tremity"? AT all the countries in the
world which count in the affairs of the
world the United States is the richest
and most prosperous and has the least
to grumble about. It's labor is the best
paid labor and the most regularly en-
pIoyed labor. working under the most
favorable conditions. The cost of liv-
ing is high, but proportionally 1t IL
not worse than elsewhere; In fact,
better. Taxes are also high and need
readjustment, but the burden Is lighter
here than 1t is in any of the Other
countries that were drawn actively
into the war.
There never was a time when there
was so little poverty when the aver
age man was so well off and when
the American people had so little
cause to grumble. They are better
off than anybody else. in spite Of their
complaints, and their affairs never
rested on a more solid basis. The only
people who are suffering are the re-
publican politicians who have not es-

Since the beginning of the discus
sion anent the proposed constitutional
amendment. which if adopted will en-
power the legislature to Issue bonds
for state wide system of connected
good roads. opponents of the proposed
amendment, who seem bent on defeat
ing 1t at any cost have used every
conceivable argument in their efforts TO
prejudice the voters against it So
far. not a real good reason for voting
against II has been advanced by any
of its opponents, who are depending for
success upon their ability to appeal to
prejudice and ignorance. This they
have done by visualizing Florida bur-
dened by debt, running into unlimited
millions, imposed by the legislature,
and painting word pictures of the
state IN hopeless ruin.
Simmered down to its essence, the
line OF argument being used by prin-
cipal opponents of the proposed
amendment at this time, amounts to
this:
The amount of bonds that could be
ISSUED by the legislature If the ro-
posed amendment is adopted is I'M

Of fools, each member being the big
gest fool of his neighborhood, whose

Delaware River
Restocked With Shad

Several million shad fry have
been liberated in the upper tribu-
traies. and head-waters Of the Della
ware river by cooperation of New
Jersey and Pennsylvania fish and
game commissioners. Still confident
that the shad and other food fish
can be restored in their old-time
plenty to the Delaware under pro-
per conditions, the commissioners
will continue propagation, believ-
ing that public sentiment will
eventually become strong enough
to force the State health authori-
ties to check pollution of the
stream. The shad fry are being
distributed under direction of
State Warden Cudney. The eggs
were collected by the New Jersey
wardens, hatched at the Pennsyl-
vania State hatchery at TOrresdale,

Women Speakers to be Used
In Presidential Campaign

One hundred thousand women
from all walks of life will take the
stump in support of Presidential
candidates at the coming election,
according to statements issued by
political leaders in both parties.
The value of women speakers has
already been recognized by candi-
dates who are now active.
Plans are under way at the Re-
publican National Committee head
quarters for the formation Of a
women s national bureau composed
of organizations from each state.
Every state will have organizations
in congressional districts and coun-
ties, with subdivisions extending to
every precinct, presided over by
women captains. According to the
executive secretary Of the Women S
Division of the Republican Ma
tional Committee they will have at
least $4,000 women speakers dur

Foreign Butter Denied
Entry Into This Country

Several shipments Of butter Of
fered for entry into the United
States from foreign countries have
been denied entry because the but
ter failed to come up to the re-
ouirements of the Federal food
and drug act, according to officials
of the Bureau Of Chemistry, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The imported butter as to meet the
same standards and tests as the
domestic product. The majority OF
the shipments which were refused
entry contained too little butter
fat and too much salt and water,
but a few contained boric acid, a
harmful preservatlve.
More butter came into the United
States last year than during any
other single year for the last 10
years. The quantity Of butter ex-
ported fr)m the United States was
also larger than normal and more
than three times as much as the i'm
ports. The total imports of butter
and butter substitutes for the year
1919 amounted to 9,519,36S
pounds; the exports Of butter for
the same period were 34,556,4 ,4S5
pounds.
The greater part Of the butter
imported into the United States
now comes from Canada, but ship
ments come also from Denmark,
Australia, Argentina, and New
Zealand. Of 800 shipments of but
ter from Canada examined, 80, or
little more than 10 per cent OF
those examined, were denied entry
into the United States. A few ship
ments from other countries also
were not admitted because they
were adulterated under the fOoC
and drugs act.
Shipments Of imported butter
are carefully inspected at the ports
of entry, and only such butter /:
admitted, say the officials in charg'
of the enforcement of the food ant
| drugs act, as meet the standard
which the domestic product is re
quired to meet.

For living and for dead.

She is the girl who appreciates

She is the girl who is not agres-
sive and does not find joy in excit-
ing aggressive people.
She is the girl who never causes

She is girl who, when you in

you by looking her best. And
again, she is the girl who enters
with zest into anything planned for
her entertainment, unless it is
something which her conscience
will not permit her to do.
She is the girl who makes this
