Pennsylvania Railroad workers surely
will answer the appeal of President Rea TO
contribute the best they have to offer in
improving the service of the system with q
hearty affirmative response. While the
Pennsylvania lines were under control of
the Federal government there was some
generalization in their operation, but
that is gradually passing and the old order
of affairs returning. There is no other road
in the country whose employees are more
responsive 10 such a cali from their chief
or who are so fully in accord with such
inspiring leadership as Mr.. Rea's. The
esprit de corps of the employees is an in
valuable asset to the railroad and largely.
explains why the Pennsylvania Railroad
lines are regarded with such high favor by
tourists and travellers.

DR.. Copeland, head Of the New York
health department, predicts there viii be
little FLU this winter in this country.
However. he advises the public to take all
precaution against it. Unfortunately, he
does not state what ordinary precautions
or precautions of any kind are. The
people Of the country are willing to 90 to
any length in fighting the ''fu" If they
only knew how to get into such battle.
1t is regrettable that in all these months
since ''fiu" made its appearance, medical
science has been unable to bare its secret
method of attack and prevent its return.

To know our loved, immortal George

That Lincoln, calm in times Of strcsf
And always brave and true and wisc,
Was seeking not self-happinees.
But suffered much and even died
That freedom here should long abide.

That he has owned boyhood fair
Because men dared to venture there.

II is the turn Of Sussex county TO have

Result Of Republican Primaries.

Thcrs were three features Of the Re-
publican priasariss held throushoot New
Castle county. Saturday afternoon. for
the nomination Of county, legislative and
district candidates. They werc ~ follows:
The heavy Republican vote in VIII
mington. averaging little moro than
$500. determined all tho county ticket
selection.
Coroner Bullock established record in
securing denomination, the FIRST instance,
we believe, Of a coroner securing indorse-
ment for . second successive term within
the memory of man now living.
The triumph Of the present discredhted
Levy Court influences in the nominations
to two very important offices-reeeivcg OF
taxes and comptroller. For the former
office Levy Court Commissioner James G.
Shaw was chosen; for the latter, ex-
Levy Court Commissioner Thomas 5.
Fouracre.
What prospect this situation opens to
taxpayers already harassed to the limit
by heavy taxes and Disguised by the in
competent administration of Levy Courts
for many years.
We know what the results have been.
Imagine them with the present Levy
Court inefhciency and extravagance not
only continued as arcsult of the election
but buttrcssed by ccngenial occupants
of the important offices of receiver OF
taxes and county comptroller. Would
there be any check on Levy Court
extravagsnce in such situationf
The Democratic candidates for these
two Offices are: For receiver Of taxes,
John b. Morrow; for Comptroller, John

THE PLIGHT OF AKRON.

Picture, il You can, the case Il . city
that was pllming itself on the tripling
Of its population inside d deeade-a
dizzy jump from $4,000 to BOT 900 be-
tween 1910 md l920--and has just been
struck by a slump to it's main, almost its
only, industry which has Topped off
50, 600 Of that proud gain at swoopl
That is what has happened to Akron,
Ohio, the city Of tires. just now Ameri-
cans are not buying automobiles ~ eagerly
~ they were a few months ago. So Akron,
which gambled heavily on tires, is su1-
fcring from various factories working ON
part time or no time at all, thousands Of
workers are returning to the farms, selling
off their autos and their household be-
longings for a song; the boom, market
in real estate has Hattened out and the
city Is experiencing its first real reverse
IN many years.
Has Akron surrendered to what seems
to be the inevitable? Not at all. She is
absolutely confident that automobiles
soon will be selling again at the old rate
and that her industries will be humming
once more. Nobody thinks sbe has lost
$4,000 persons from her population, they
are merely 'on leave" But city built
around single industry is always un-
stable. Perhaps that is why Akron, to
the visitor, looks more like the description
which distinguished foreigner applied to
all American cities, an industrial camp"
than any other in the United States. 1t
grew so fast that it sprawled around iE its
undersize clothes. A slight decrease in
population viii not do Akron any harm.
IL will take her out of the mushroom class
and make her sober municipality.
In the meantime the folks that remain
will have chance to rent homes and
apartments at reasonable prices and have
room to be really comfortable Balti

STICKING TO 1T.

1t is fine thing to see one who perse-
veres till he has made a small thing great,
brought success out of failure, victory out
of defeat often if the traveller could have
kept on till the next turn of the road he
would have beheld the distant gIeam of the
the city he sought, and he would have
been encouraged to go the rest of the
way to his refuge and his welcome. But
he surrendered to despair too soon. This
captain of industry would have turned
his losses into profits could he but have
held on little longer-could he only have
obtained the eapitalt o "tide him over"
This inventor or this Investigator stood
at the very brink of the solution of prob
lem of the ages; but his time was up, and
death came and found him still reaching
out into the infinite, and he could not be-
queath his experience and his learning to
another.
Those whose names are large in his
tory, for the honor that the world ac-
corded them because they were faithful
In its service, were not to be diverted from
the goal toward which they strove. They
made up their minds and they kept on,
They did not, in a moody, fitful restless
less, abandon one thing and try another;
but they were ready to change if they saw
they had chosen wrong. When they were
once assured of being right. they con-
tinued IN straight line without tlinchiRg.
They would not turn aside for any bribe
or influence. Their minds were made up.
Their hands were at the pillow. They
would not leave the furrow till they had
plowed it straight through to the end
Men who were in their day regarded as
pitiful fools and impossible fanatics turned
out often the wisest of all, and when they
were in their graves, perhaps, public
opinion was sorry it had not seen their
merit and bestowed a suitable reward.
But mankind is ever ready to ridicuIe the
pioneer and to defy the new idea just

Judge Of the Berks county court granted So
DEGREES at one time. One-half of the ap-

The plowing under Of tomatoes by the

of the uncertainty Of farming The
abundance of the vegetables sent prices
down to below the cost of picking, and to
have gathered it would have entailed
further loss. AS il is, the growers lose the
expense for preparing and fertihzing the
