the GROSS have always had stony path,
and often paid dearly for fidelity TO their

the evil OF the world is eventually ex-

Perhaps the spread and acceptance Of
Christianity has seemed slow, and pos

the cause seemed almost lost, but today
there are more than GOO, 10000 men and

retire from the hOld-up business

The Germans are so infatuated with
our films portraying life in the mining
CAMPS and on cattle ranches Of the old
frontier days that the movie fans turn
away from pictures "nade IL Germany, :
and in consequence the government has
barred the American pictures from the
country. To be sure, the German govern
ment will not let a little thing Ike recl-
procity have any bearing in cases where
her business is interfered with It is @
small matter, perhaps, but large enough
to illustrate the love Of the Hun for the
rest Of mankind beside himself and
especially for the nation that upset his
throne and sent the Kaiser's crowd pell-
nell into life exile

Postum Dinner Ahead

It is almost inhuman 20 a large part
Of our people living IN the Twelfth and
Orange streets section 70 report that the
biggest, and latest 'possum ever captured
IN Delaware is now in possession Of man
Ii Georgetown If one could fully
comprehend the love Of the blacks for
''roast possum and sweet 'tate's," he
could readily picture the longing that
such IN announcement caused, and one
would be warranted in saying that there
are more than $4,000 mouths watering
at the very thought Of such feast for
Christmas
If one can imagine 'possum as big as
two large roasted turkeys, with basket
Of vans or another variety Of sweets,
floating in the juices Of the delicious beast
ie, and all surrounded by about ten or
dozen George Washington Johnsons and
their lady friends he would have
mental picture Of real feastiDe that would
be movie thriller" It was unkind,
we repeat, 70 announce the captivity Of
such a treasure without accompanying
the information with an invitation to
"come and share with US this daily NOR
sci, even too good for the gods.
Farmers naturally resent the effort 10
compel Them to bear all of the reduction
in the price Of milk that has beer made to
the consumer, and unlesss all those inter
viewed recently by Every Evening have
mis5tated the case they cannot run
dairy without loss unless they can obtain
eight or eight and q half cents q quart
for the product, wholesale. A reduction
IN the price Of feed hes brought the cost
of production down TO almost eight cents
q quart. With a ready and increasing de
mand for butter at its present price, the
farmers can probably churn their milk
and cream and dispose Of it to better adj
vantage than by selling to the milk
dealers at the price offend them.
If the consumer is to have any Of the
benefits from the lowering Of costs of food
supplies, no class Of producers should be
expected to meet the entire cat
DcluWare's first women Jurors already
have refuted two or three llbels under
which the sex have rested for generations
By being ahead Of the court they proved
that women do rot always keep men
waiting. and that they can be comfortable

continually inauiring rs my hat Oh

Defence Of Trolley Cars

Il is a capital idea TO have the police
guard the street car men whose work
takes them TO llnfrequented parts Of the
town after night. but II IS possible that
if the men were furnished with shotguns,
such as were used by our soldiers III the
war, they could protect themselves against
holdups and at the same time guard pas
sengers in their cars.
II men entrusted with the custody Of
money or the safety Of passengers were
given these weapons and taught how 70
use them it is not likely they would need
much aid from the police. It IS mostly
when pistols are employed that the bandits
are able 70 hold up treasure-laden ner or
automobiles, or trolley cars, for the rob
bers know that not one man IN fifty can
bit anything aimed at with revolver,
whereas one charge Of rabbit shot from a
No. 10 gun at 10, 20 OF 30 yards would in
cline every bandit fired at TO permanently
retire from the hold-up business.

Dean Thatcher based his prediction
on the slump in the grain market

cents to yesterdays low figure of
$1.95, the lowest in four years. From
Saturdays close at $2.11 1-2 to yes
terday's low, the drop was II IL
cents.
Farm school students at the uni
versity recently come from farms of
the Northwest, give reports that
cause Dean Thatcher to believe there
will be a greatly reduced wheat acre
age planted. This, he said, would
result in wheat and bread prices soar
ing upward, which he anticipates will
be followed by industrial disturbance
