Perversions of English
Speech Are Numerous
Some of the Examples

John Rivers points out how many
"peryersions" of English are used in
common speech.
Thus "exterminate," which properly
means ito drive out" or .banish," is
now used as an equivalent of ''extir-
pate" in the sense of ito destroy ut
terly." Trivial" which really means
strife" or 'hackneyed," as when Bacon
writes, "These conceits which are now
trivial were then new" has been as
simulated in sense to 'trifling.' crest
ive," which should mean "given to
resting" or stopping" has from its
resemblance to restless" acquired that
words meaning. In like manner the
phrase ito demean oneself" a transIa-
ton of the old French Sc demener, is
now generally used in the sense of ito
degrade oneself" and the word "de-
file" from the French defiler, ito march
in line," has received the meaning of
the Anglo-Saxon BEETLE, to make FOUL
"Prejudicial' has come to be cock
tensive with harmful; :" unique" and
singular" with remarkable"
A careful writer will not say that
the heat is phenomenal" unless he
means that it is not real. He will not
use the word "pessimistic" and "op-
timistic' as equivalents Of "despond-
ent" and hopeful respectively. Nor
will he speak of an "egregious fool
unless he means a distinguished buff
foon." 1t would also be a distinct gain
to the language If we could agree to
rescue the word "impertinent" from
the results of it's unfortunate entan-
clement in the popular mind with the
word ''impudent," and restore 1t to it's
precise meaning as the opposite Of
pertinent. w Orld's Work. -

that hang. straight from the shoulder
are also made of it.
Silk sweater-coats and smocks are
often finished with knotted silk fringe
in bright coIors with silk girdles to
match. Silk braid is a novelty used
in fringes on crocheted sweaters.
These are made in several styles, one
of the novel ones appearing in the
picture above. Collars and cuffs of
angora make a coy looking finish for
those with long sleeves. All these
pretty garments are either really
warm or suggest warmth, although
some of them are so lacey that it
takes the addition of angora cloth to
hint a protection against chill.
The smock of heavy jersey cloth is
the most interesting rival of sweaters
and sweater-coats. It is usually en-
broidered with wool or has crocheted
flowers of wool yarn as a decoration
and there is plenty of room for the
exercise Of individual taste in its max

influence of Thought.

"There IS nothing good or bad, but
thinking makes it So" said Shake
speare and therein lies truth. We
are too apt to forget that thoughts are
real forces and that we cannot even
quietly hate another without sending
out little poison into the world about
us. A baleful influence is bound to
make itself felt, tough none may
know its source. Just as we cannot
love another, without sending out to-
ward him thoughts of kindness al d
helpfuIness that will affect the atmos-
phere in which he moves.

AIbinos.

The term "albino'' was originally
applied by the Portuguese to negroes
found on the coast of Africa, who were
notified with white spots. Now an
albino is defined as a person having a
congenital deficiency of pigments OF
the skin, hair and eyes. Albinos occur
among all races of men; in extreme
cases they have skin Of milky
color, extremely light hair, and eyes
with a deep red pupil with pink or
blue iris.

est and commission charges. Agri-
culture was rapidly deteriorating,
the number of farmers engaged in
filling the soil was eeleasing, the
number Of acres actually Under cul-
tivation was decreasing, tie out
put per acre was actually decreas-
ing, and the food supply of the nation
was decreasing, as was also our con-
tribution to the worlds food supply.
Wants His Right, Not a Favor.
After an exhaustive study of the
needs of the country and after an
other exhaustive study Of the credit
system of European countries, con-
gress decided to adequately finance
agriculture as great underlying In
dustry essential to the life of. the
nation. Congress did not contem-
plate any petty remedies. 1t did not
contemplate charity for the small
farmers. 1t did not contemplate spe-
cial privilege for the big farmers. But
congress did contemplate establishing
q practical system of rural credits by
which the farmer would be enabled to
secure as a right-not as favor-ade-
quate funds at reasonable rates. And
congress did this, assuming that the
general welfare demanded that we
look to the future and make provision
for a continued food supply for the
nation.
Keeping Country Boy cn Farm.
"The intent of congress in passing
the federal farm loan act was not to
bring the city boy back to the country,
as some seem to think, because the
congress, having in its membership
goodly number of men who sprang
from the farm, was fully aware that 1t
was folly to expect the city man to
succeed in the country. Rather it was
the intent Of congress to keep the
country boy on the farm by making
farming sufficiently profitable to be at
tractive to an ambitious man of brains,
energy and vision. / mention this be-
cause some people seem to feel
that the millennium will come the
moment we can get the city boy headed
for the farm. Farmers however, know
better. They know that the success
full, efficient farmer must be made
from the country-raised boy. And all
know that there will be enough farm
ers, when farming is made profitable
and country life is made attractive.
Neither can be accomplished unless
adequate farm credit can be had all
the time and ON reasonable termsn

Wage Successful War on Pest.

The worst enemy of the grape grow
ers in California is a minute insect
called the thunder fly" because it ap-
pears in greatest numbers in hot and
sultry weather, when thunder storms
arc frequent. A man out there has in
vented suction apparatus, with a ten
horsepower blower, that is placed on
wheels and driven through the vine
Yards, harvesting the pests from the
vines as it goes along. It is said to
work very successfully.

SPEAKS FOR FARM LOAN ACT
Former Secretary Of the Treasury
Says Future of Agriculture De-
ponds on Keeping Country
Raised Boy on Farm. Dbl

"The American farmer is not a pau
per seeking aims. Neither is he a
ward of the government to be treated
as an irresponsible child"
Such is the statement of w. G. Nc
Adoo, former secretary of the treas
ury.
Mr.. McAdoo contended that the
farmer only asks to be permitted to
take his place among the business
men of the nation, where he belongs.
He said that the farm loan act merely
enables the farmer to borrow as a
right-not as adequate funds
at reasonable rates. Mr.. McAdoo said,

Why Farmers Need Money.

"Up to the time of the passage Of the
farm loan act, the system of farm cred
its in operation in this country was ex-
ceedingly cumbersome. 1t was SO cum
bersome that 1t could not furnish the
kind of service the farmer required, at
any price. That is, it could not furnish
loans on the long term amortization
plan. Also the entire field of farm
credits was without anything more
than the most primitive (and therefore
futile) regulation as to rates of inter-

Their Debut.

The first cherries Of the season from
New Castle county made their appearance
IN the curb markets today They looked
little premature and had q faint blush
on their cheeks, probably caused by the
response to the inquiry How Much '-

neither pretty nor sweet, but probably
would serve for pies.
Peaches from Georgia. small and sour
and showing the wearisome effects of
their journey from the South, appeared on
few stalls and for them 80 to 40 cents
was asked There were some buyers but
most Of the offerings remained on the
sellers stands.
Strawberries were plentiful at prices
from 20 to 40 cents The berries are
coming from down-State and from New
Jersey. The quality was from fair to very
good, although it was the complaint
that the season has not been a good one
for these first products Of the garden
The season, with good weather, will be al
its peak about next and the week after
The display Of flowers today was very
attractive, and the blooms by the way
were the most reasonably priced products
