FINANCIAL MADNESS

Lord ROthermere warns his country
men that Great Britain, like the rest of
Europe, is afflicted with financial demen~
tia. So is this country.
1t is financial madness for the United
States government to be spending money
spending it seventeen months after the
war-at the rate of more than seven bill
lions of dollars year. 1t is financial mad
ness for the United States government to
be piling up a deficit at the rate of be-
tween three and four billions of dollars a
year. 1t is financial madness for the I'm
tied States government, when it is pour
ing three quarters of billion of dollars
into railroad losses, nearly half billion
of dollars into shipping board expendi-
lures, and two thirds of billion dollars
into interest on the public debt, to pro-
pose to pile on top of such prodigious out
lays and deficits more of indiscriminate
bonus distributions and other drains of
the national treasure.
1t is financial madness for American
industries, when they are facing interim
Unable taxes of stupendOus volume. when
men will not work and capital will not
flow, to be borrowing billions Of dollars
to put into new construction, reconstruc-
ton, extensions and improvements at
prohibitive costs of interest, prohibitive
costs Of materials, prohibitive costs of la
Dor.
1t is financial madness for the Ameri-
can people, when they are facing like
taxes, facing inOrdinate living costs, fac
ing desperate struggle to make both
ends meet, to be spending money like men
delirous on all sorts of non-essentials.
pleasure, indulgence and follies.
When the only way to decrease prices
of commodities is to increase production.
and the only way to have money enough
to do the nations legitimate work is to
stop prodigal waste it is financial mad
ness and it is economic madness for hun
dreds of thousands of workers to be in
cessantly off thier jobs on strike but for
all the public to go on spending none the
less wildly
The United States government must
check it's mad spending and pay up its
billions of O UPS. The American people
must cut off every penny of waste that
can be trimmed from their careless, reck-
less spendings and get down to hard
work. If the United States government

SOME ROAD FIGURES

We have Just read some interesting
figures about the roads of Oklahoma, fig
ures that will make the average Logan
man sit up and take notice in a hurry
Tests made over every kind of highway
in the state show that where 5000 pounds
is to be transported, ten horses are neces-
sary upon sandy or muddy road; upon
a hard, dirt road five horses must be
used; on a gravel road, two horses will
do the work; if there is good macadam
or paved road, one horse is all that is ne
cessary.
Then the figures are switched around.
but they are still interesting. Suppose
farmer has only one work horse avail
able. He can haul 800 pounds over mud
dy dirst road; 1900 pounds over a hard.
smooth dirt road; 5000 pounds on a gra-
vel road and from 5000 to 5000 pounds
on macadam or paved road.
In this country where considerable
hauling is now being done by motor. the
time consumed would also enter into the
calculation. But the relative cost of
transporting goods over good highways
and bad ones is about the same, whether
horses or trucks are used And the fig
ures also show that in every community
where the roads are good and farmers can
get easily and quickly to and from mar
ket, living costs are lower than in sections
where little attention is given to roads.
Isn't that latter condition worth thinking
over? - zLgE VI
If there is anything the administration
tries to handle which it does not succeed
in muddling it will be worthy Of place

next March.

The Message OF
A Cheerful Face

Those who live in big city, where
daily they pass many people on the
streets, are struck by the infre-
quency of really pleasant or happy
faces among the crowd. Many of the
faces that one passes on the street
are frowning, perhaps from bad tenn
per, perhaps because of worry or i'll
health; others are tired and anxious.
others are sad; others are merely dull.
The sight of bright, alert, truly
happy face gives one a thrill of in
spiration that may last for hours.
There would not be time. there
would be no reason, for a spoken
message to each one of the hurrying
throng that we may pass in a day.
Some would not understand our Ian
guage if We tried to speak 10 them.
But there is one language that all
understand alike; that of the bright,
happy contented face. Why not carry
through the streets that message of
good cheer? To do so we must con-
quer the Indifference that makes our
faces dull the annoyance and worry
that etch ill-natured lines upon them
even the sorrow that would darken
and sadden them. 1t is worth while to
make the effort, for everybody. NO
matter what language he may speak
understands the message of the pleas
ant, serene, happy face, and that mes
sage may hold value we little realize
for somebody in the hurrying throng
of strangers

Achievement OF Local
Girl Figures In Exten-
sion Service News

The current issue of Extension
Service News gives the following
story of achievement by Miss
Charlotte Dayett, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. j. Irwin Dayett of Cooch's
Bridge:
Miss Charlotte Dayett of
Cooch, the lone girl member of
the New Castle County Boys and
Girls Pure Bred Dairy Cattle
Club, received the blue ribbon on
her pure bred Holstein heifer
exhibited at the 1919 Delaware
State Fair while the thirty-five
vanquished male members of the
club doffed their hats in admira-
tion.
The New Castle County Boys
and Girls Pure Bred Dairy Cattle
Club comprises thirty-six men,
bers, each of whom received a six
months old pure bred heifer in
June, 1918. Each member of the
Club owns and is responsible for
his or her own calf, and many a
father has had a practical dem
onstration conducted on his own
farm by the junior member on how
to grow to maturity good pure
bred dairy heifer. The club is
motivated by the New Castle
County Farm Bureau.
The heifer exhibited by Miss
Dayett which is now a two year
old, borders on perfection as it is
known in the dairy world. The
heifer is we'll grown, has splendid
lines, shows high quality and
gives every indication of develop
ing into a typical high producing
dairy cow. Among her sex Miss
Dayett is without a peer in the
dairy world in Delaware"

If Mother Can Spare Me

Two girls were talking about pro-
posed "good time" that would take
them away from their homes a day
and a night.
"Of course you are going" said one
girl to the other.
81 can't be sure of it," was the re-
ply. 'It will depend altogether on
whether my mother can spare me
that day or not"
whether you mother can spare
you?" said the other girl with a note
of surprise in her voice. "Why, I
never have to give a thought. to any
thing of that kind. I just go.'
"Well, | cannot do that. My mo-
ther is not very strong and some days
she needs me more than others. If
she happened to need me very much
next Tuesday, I would not be able to
go. 1t will all depend on whether
mother can spare me-"
Happy the mother who has a self
denying daughter of this kind, girl
considerate enough of her mother to
be unwilling to leave home for even
an alluring social pleasure if she were
really needed at home by her mother.
Such girls are none too common in
the world. When found they are sure
to be girls of many admirable traits
and character. They have a fine and
generous conception of what a girl
owes to her mother, and when a girl
governs her actions by all that is i'm

Column contributed by the Medi-

mitted by the Commission thru
the Clearing House of the Della
ware State Program.
Always prepare the feeding for the
whole day at one time. This will be
made up according to the formula
which has been made out by your ply
sician. After preparation, divide the
milk into the amounts specified for
each feeding and place the amount
for each separate feeding in its own
bottle. Put cotton shoppers into each
bottle. You must now have pan or
kettle large enough so that you can
stand all the bottles in it upright, in
enough water to surround the bottles
and come up nearly to their tops. A
thermometer for taking temperature
of the water is essential. Place the
receptacle containing the bottles on
the stove and slowly heat the water
up to las degrees Fahrenheit Hold
it at this temperature for thirty min
utes. Then cool rapidly by pouring
out the hot water and replacing it
with cold. Remove the bottles and
place them in the ice box or in some
cool place. All that is necessary now
| is to take a bottle out at feeding time,
remove cotton stopper, put on ster-
lie nipple warm it and the feeding is
ready for use.
What is the objecl of pasteuriza-
ton and why must this method be
followed closely? The object of pas
teurization is to kill germs which are
present in the milk, by heating for
half an hour at 145. degrees Fahren-
heit. All will not be killed by the
process, but vast majority of them
will be. By cooling rapidly and keep
ing in cool place the growth of
those organisms which are not killed
will be greatly delayed.
| If you have no refrigerator, quite
a serviceable ice box may be made at
home out of small packing box,
some excelsior and felt, or felt paper.
Information and instruction on any
or all of these points will gladly be
given you at any of the child Health
Centers of the Reconstruction Com
mission.
Nipples must be scrubbed after use
Be sure and turn them inside out
when scrubbing. After thoroughly
cleansing them, place them in a solu-
ton of boric acid until needed. They
will then need only to be rinsed before
placing nthe bottle.
When warming the milk for use, il
should be brought up to body tenn,
perature. The simplest way oftest,
ing this is by sprinkling some on the
back of the hand and judging as tt
whether it is of the same temperature
or not. Your mouth may contain
many germs which although they are
harmless to you may be harmful tc
the baby.
Immediately after bottle is used
empty it, rinse it out with boiling
water several times, scrub it with the
bottle brush and boric solution, rinse
again with boiling water and put it ir
some cool place where it is protected
from dust and dirt, until it is needed
next morning.
In preparing boric acid solution, put
in as much of the powder as the water
will absorb, that is, use saturated
solution. 1t is we'll to have somt
boric acid powder at all times for it is
yxtremely useful not only in the
cleaning of the baby's feeding things
but also in washing out eyes, cuts
and so forth, in case of slight infec
tion.

DELAWARE AT ONE
TIME A LINEN MANU-
FEATURING STATE
Discontinued Because of Tedi-
business of Work Says
Middletown Paper

to establish a flax and linen indus
try on this peninsula, the Middle
town Transcript states that from
the earliest settlement of the state
and up to the Civil War, Della ware
was a linen manufacturing state
and that thousands of acres of flax
were grown and hundreds of
thousands of yards of linen was
hand-spun and woven in the homes
of our people.
The invention of the cotton gin,
the rapid development of cotton
spinning, and the weaving machin-
cry, supplanted the linen industry
and now the only evidence that it
ever existed is the presence of
some old spinning wheels and an
occasional old hand loom, hidden
away in the barn or attic.
In those almost forgotten days
every farmer in New Castle Coun-
ty and in fact, all over the state
grew his field of flax. The method
of obtaining the fibre from the
straw was both laborious and dis
tasteful and required months of
time. Strange as it may seem the
method of obtaining the fibre from
flax in Delaware, 100 years ago,
was exactly the same as that used
by the Egyptians in the days of
Moses, nearly 5000 years ago.
But again the genius of inven-
tion has spoken to activity
by the stern voice Of necessity
Russia, which before the war pro.
duced 92&o of all the flax in the
world, under compulsory, edict by
the Gar, has thrown off the yoke
and has refused to grow any more
flax. The linen mills of the worlC
are shut down and there is liner
famine.
A new discovery has been made
and a process invented and pat
ented by which flax fibre can be
extracted from the straw in one
hour and made ready to be spur
into linen of high grade and quail
ty. Through this, invention liner
can be made as cheaply as cotton
and 600 to 800 lbs. of the fibre cal
be grown on an acre of good New
Castle County land.
Because of Delaware's past re
cord of flax production, there cam,
to Middletown this week a groul
of important men, from New Yorl
City, interested in the re-establish
ment of a flax and linen industr,
in Delaware. Mr.. Sidney Geiger
the flax expect and agricultural
superintendent of the American
Flax, Fibre and Linen Corporation
of New York City, reported tina
the territory in this part of tn
state was particularly we'll adapt
ed to flax culture, and the presi
dent of the Company, Mr.. William
Jay Robinson, accompanied by Mr.
John Marsman, of Marsman & Co.
Bankers of New York City, CAM
to Middletown for conferenc,
with some of the most importan
men in this part of the state.
Plans are on foot to build :
large flax mill in Middletown, will
branch plants all over the country
This will unquestionably mean
new profitable crop for our farm
ers and a great industrial develop
ment throughout the entire state
with the probabilities of a larg
number of families from the nortl
,of Ireland, thoroughly familia
with the spinning of flax yarns an,
the weaving and finishing of higl
grade linens being brought to thi
section to re-estabhsh the liner
industry here"

and DR.. Walter H. Steel of thi
town are among those intereste,
in this project.
