and determination of the Irish people, he
really is guilty OF an asperslon on their
character Even Lloyd George thinks bet

to. The British Prime Minister asserted
in his Guildhall speech:
"Irishmen have no real sympathy with
this murder. Not bit They arc heartily
sick of the busiress, and know 1t. . Let
Mr. de valera attack the English ana ar-

Delaware College Needs.

The call Of Delaware College for more
room to meet the expanding needs Of the
institution as presented day or two ago
in Every Evening, indicates very clearly
it's growth and increase Of usefulness n
the community. Despite the exteSaons,
new building gs and the reftting Of the older
ones there is still a scarcity q space that
is hampering the progress Of Old Della

total enrolment Of students at hls time
has reached Az. of which 1o9 arc men
and IT'S women. A further Illustration
Of the usefulness Of the college is furnished
in recalling that l67 students all teachers

Among its other needs are means for

Renewed Exodus r rom Farms.

There are said To be more Delaware
farmers giving up their business this year
than ever before, a condition attributed
10 the high cost and scarcity of labor and
n price decline Of all products OF the SOL.
In Kent and Sussex counties the nuInbef
of public sales Of stock and farm imple-
ments indicates that there may be a con
siderable number of deserted or nban-
toned farms added TO the already long
list. In Sussex county there we're iOA
abandoned farms according to the census
for 1920, and the number in Kent Is
relatively as great.
IL was contended up until late in the
autumn that the scarcity of help and the
big wages exacted were the primary causes
for the desertion of the FARMS, but now IN
addition come the low prices for grain
and vegetables Of all kinds and for orchard
products, and the man in the country
realizes he is losing money under present
conditions, and has decided TO quit
To what extent this away from the
soir' movement rpay 20 in the next lew
years ia of concern % every Delawarean
Il is declared that the land owners Of the
State have found they can obtain larger
returns from their soil by letting it grow
ND in timber, instead of cropping 1t.
IL was estimated at the time the recent
farm census was issued that in another
ten wears almost tenth Of the farms
in the lower counties would be out OF
service or only partially titled unless the
get-away movement wae checked IN
aome way or other. The unfortunate part
Of the matter is that no one seems TO have
found anything approaching panacea
for this national as we'll as Delaware ILL.,
even though the problem has been IN
: he hands Of so-callcd experts or special
lists for many years.
Everyone will regret that here IN this
favored section of the country where we
have long seasons and soil that will pro
duce almost every crop that may be grown
outside the tropics, and with market
close at hand, that farms cannot be
operated way to assure the owners
not only against no profit but 70 guarantee

Serred Worthilr and Wen.

While not unexpected, by reason OF the
Drecariors state Of his health fer severa!
months the death Of Professor A. Henry
Berlin. principal Of Wilmington High
School. which occurred Wednesday morD-
ing at his home in this city, was an occa-
sion of sincere regret by the community
as well as cause Of deep sorrow to MS
many personal friends He was man OF
fine personality. as well as an able IN
structor.
Professor Berlin came 10 Wilmington
in 1885. from Montrose, Pa, 70 assume
principalship Of the high school, al a
time when the institution was iabormg
under difficulties and contentious IN
Cured under inefficient management,
that had disturbed its affairs and In
paired iss usefulness. The outlook was
not encouraging, but he met the situa-
ton rnanfully, and his work was soon
attended by & large and commendabie
measure Of Improvement. And he cen
tiDued to serve, faithfully and efficiently,
until tie end.
The work done by Professor Berlin
will live after him, and hundreds Of those
who derived their education under hls
direction and inspiration at the mgh
school will bear testimony 70 his ability
and devotion to duty.
