Sugar Is Coming Down

News Item: Sugar may be eleven
cents.
We care not now how hard the sun
May bake and parch the ground.
And dry our crops and kill the cows
For sugars coming down.
We still can stand the price of shoes
And never yield a frown,
Elf we can only believe the news,
That sugars coming down.
Well shell out for the wife's old bills
For hat and gloves and gown,
While we are happy going insane
Ger sugar going down.
Well shake the hand of every man
While running round the town;
To shout the liberation of the race,
That sugars coming down.
And as sweet1y pass this life,
No gloom can ever drown
The sweet, sweet peace those words
shall give
Just, sugars coming down."
\ Then when you see me lie. at rest
Beneath the little mound
My epitaph shall read: HE died
Because sugar happened down."

Railroad Officials Deny Story

According to officials of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, there is no truth in
the report that 80 carloads of pota-
toes were recently dumped into the
Delaware River near Wilmington, by
dealers who wished to bolster prices
on the local market. Railroad offic-
ials said their records show no trace
of such shipment and that it is ex-
tremely improbable that dumping
could have occurred without their
knowledge.

Notice
To those who are using or contem-
plate purchasing the "Blue
Bird" Electric Clothes Wash
ing Machine:

Certain dealers in Electrical Appliances and canvas
sers from nearby points have been circulating malicious
propaganda about the Blue Bird Washer and it's manufac-
turers. The general practice has been to state that they
were IN a position to sell the Blue Bird in this vicinity
and then to proceed with a line of misleading and unscru-
pulous policy, the object, of course, being to ultimately
sell a machine of some other make generally decidedly
inferior to Blue BIRD, the most popular electrical Washing
Machine in America.
We take this opportunity to inform the public that
we enjoy the distinction of being the sole distributors Of
the Blue Bird Electric Clothes Washing Machine in Penns
Grove, Pedricktown, Carneys Point, Pennsville, Salem,
Quinton and Woodstown.
We might also add that the Blue Bird Electrical APP
pliance Company, of st. Louis, Mo-, have recently merged
with the Davis Sewing Machine Company, of Dayton,
Ohio. This company is one of the largest manufacturers
of Electric Sewing Machines in the world and also manu-
features about one-third of all the high-grade bicycles
sold in this country.
The resources of these two great organizations COM
bined are at the disposal of the Blue Bird user.
There is an abundance of real service back of Blue
Bird. It can be purchased from none but the most re-
sponsible dealers in the country.
Let us demonstrate Blue Bird to you, or better yet,
have one delivered to you for free trial.
Yours for Clean Clothes,

John Quincy Adams alone has solved
the problem of ex-presidents. He forgot
that he had been president at all and
went to work like any other citizen.
With his houses in Quincy; and Bos-
ton mortgaged and the income from
his estate too slender for the support
of his family, John Quincy Adams
heard the bark Of the wolf at his door
as in his gloomy fancy he closed it
upon public life i'll his sixty-second
wear. When some neighbors ventured
to ask the next year if it would be be-
meath his dignity to represent the Old
Plymouth Rock district in congress,
this great American, who, had been q
senator, minister at the courts of
The Hague, Berlin, st. Petersburg and
London, a secretary OF state and a
president. replied that he was not
above serving the people as one Of
the selectmen Of his town.
Washington was aghast at the sight
Of an ex-president taking his seat III
the huriy-burly Of the lower house
only two years after leaving the
White House. Without joining the
Democrats or tie Wings, with no fac
ton about him, John Quincy Adams
faced alcne the Jackson administration
which had supplanted his own and
alone he met a swarm Of his old-time
critics on level. Under his incessant
pounding, the majority against the
right of petition fell session by ees-
sion until it disappeared entirely in
1874. He had won his long fight
against the gag rule and his diary IS
lit up with his rejoicing in victory.
His life was crowned. His work was
done. Still he labored on. Although
he fell in a Boston street under a
stroke of paralysis, he insisted upon
returning to his duties in congress.

tered the hall and cheered him on his
way to his seat. A year afterWaFd, as
he seemed, about TO rise to address

TNE chieftainship Of every great
j. nation still passed from father to
son until the presidency of the United
States was created, when the first
free-for-all race and an even start foT
the highest prize was opened to the
sons OF men regardless Of the accidents
Of birth. In this fair test, new blood
has won every time with only two eN'
ception in a century and quarter.
Even John Quincy Adams did not
win the race, but was outrun at the
polls by Andrew Jackson, the son OF
an immigrant. Political parties hav-
ing disappeared in 1924, four men en-
tered the contest and deadlocked the
electoral college, which left the house
Of representatives to choose from
among, the three highest candidates.
This eliminated the fourth man-Hen-
ry Clay-who aided in the election OF
Adams and who received from the
new president the appointment OF
secretary Of state
The only non-partisan admlnlstra'
ton the country ever has had was not
a shining example of success. Uncom-
promising, alone, John Quincy Adams
stalked his solitary way, never once
turning to the right or to the left from
the strait and narrow path Of indepen-
dence. With no sense Of humor to re-
lieve his sense Of self-righteousness, to
light up his view Of his fellows or to
thaw his own icy virtues, it was i'm
possible for his supporters to feel any
enthusiasm for him.
John Quincy Adams led the simple
life in the White House. Getting up
