ENJOYING THE BEAUTY
OF THE COMMONPLACE

The average person is quick
enough to remark about the red
flame of the sunset, but he seldom
sees the dove colors and steel
blues that lie bach OF him in the
east. He sees the scarlet maple,
or an orange stain upon a hillside
in October, but he overlooks the
silvery sheen of the wind-swept
poplar and cloudlike surface of
the Indian grass. He is not blind
to Niagara or the Alps, but he has
an unhappy way of never regard

hence he loses a great deal of
pleasure in life which comes from

College Students to Hold
"Prom" In Wilmippton

At a meeting of the Junior
Glass on Friday, it was definitely
decided that the Junior Prom
should be held in the Gold Ball
room of the Hotel du Pont, Wilm-
ington, on the evening of FRIDAY
February a: This is following out
the precedent set last year by the
present Senior class of holding
this annual affair in Wilmington
rather than in Newark, where
sufficient floor space cannot be
found to accommodate the large
demand for tickets. The sale of
tickets is to be limited this year
to one hundred and fifty, and will
be opened to the two upper classes
first. The various committees are
already hard at work on the pre-
parations and predict a dance
which will surpass even that of
last year. Details of the arrange
ments will be announced later.

MILL CREEK FOLK TAKE
PREVENTIVE SERUM
Nine Adults Under Treatment
After Drinking Milk From
Mad" Cow

According to a story appearing
in Fridays issue of one Of our ex-
changes, the Pasteur treatment as
a preventive of rabies is being
given to nine persons in, and near
the boundary of Mill Creek hum
dred, New Castle county, who
drank milk from a cow that after
ward died with all symptoms Of
hydrophobia. Most Of the patients
are adults. They have shown no
indication Of developing rabies
themselves. DR.. Herbert L. Wat
son, state bacteriologist at New
ark, declines to disclose their
names because they do not wish
their friends and relatives to
worry.
The cases are unusual-in fact,
unprecedented, so far as DR.. Wat
sons observation in Delaware is
concerned. They are being watch
id with interest by medical men
aware of the circumstances. Al
though DR.. Watson knows of no
similar instance under his observa-
ton to compare these with, he said
that he had known of cases of pups
developing hydrophobia after
nursing from a mother that sub
sequently developed rabies.
The COW that died under "sus-
picious circumstances" within ten
days also died under circum-
stances mysterious, inasmuch as
there is no certain information
concerning when it was bitten, if
it was, by mad dog. The persons
who drank the milk will take the
Pasteur treatment for the full
period of twenty-one days. The
serum used was made at the state
laboratory at Newark. Each pa
tient gets an injection once a day,
administered by one of the state
medical agents.
A number of cows in Mill Greek
hundred were bitten several
weeks ago, and there have been
several mad dog scares" in the
country districts recently.

THE OPTIMIST

There was once a man who smiled
Because the day was bright,
Because he slept at night,
Because God gave him sight
To gaze upon his child;
Because his little one
Could leap and laugh and run,
Because the distant sun
Smiled on the earth, he smiled.
He smiled because the sky
Was high above his head,
Because the rose was red,
Because the past was dead!
He never wondered why
The Lord had blundered so
That all things have to go
The wrong way here. below
The over-arching sky.
He toiled, and still was glad
Because the air was free,
Because he loved, and she
That claimed his love and he
Shared all the joys they had!
Because the grasses grew,
Because the sweet winds blew
Because that he could hew
And hammer, he was glad.
Because he lived and smiled,
And did not look ahead
With bitterness or dread,
But nightly sought his bed
AS calmly as a child.
And people called him mad
For being always glad
With such things as he had,
And shook their heads and smiled.

BLESSINGS MORE
THAN MATERIAL

In other times a Thanksgiving
editorial was a motley of statis-
tics and boastfulness. We had
grown so many million bushels of
grain; our cattle on the thousand
hills had increased so many hum
dredfold; our clearinghouse sta
tistics had never been surpassed; {;
our per capita wealth was the
greatest in the world; indeed, our
thankfulness was lost in the
glorification of the gift. We were
like the people of whom the Pro-
phet Habakkuk spake, who had
caught much fish in their nets and
gathered them in their drags,
therefore they sacrifice unto
their net, and burn incense unto
their drag; because by them their
portion is fat, and their meat
plenteous." Of gratitude to a
Giver, of thankful recognition Of
forces which we did not create,
but without whose cooperation we
should have been as nothing,
there was less than ought to have
been.
All this was due, of course, not
so much to human ingratitude as
to human thoughtlessness. To
Thank is to Think. The farther
back we think, the farther back
we thank. If our thought ceases
with our own contribution to our
welfare, our thanks cease with
ourselves. If our appraisal stops
with cur material increase, our
thanks become material and in
sensibly change into boasting. We
, sacrifice unto our great industries
and burn incense unto our skill,
and there our homage rests.

GREEN MOUNTAIN
POTATOES SHOW
BIG YIELD
Demonstration at Hockessin
Results in Production of
288 Bushels per Acre

Certified seed potatoes of the
Green Mountain type have again
shown their capacity for produc-
ing increased yields of marketable
potatoes in potato demonstra-
tion conducted on the farms of
Horace and Frank Dennison of
the Hockessin Community, in CO.
operation with the New Castle
County Farm Bureau. One hun
dred and eighty bushels of these
potatoes were planted in Northern
New Castle county on four separ-
ate farms, and in every case with
successful results. Due to the
railroad strike last spring ship
ment of these seed potatoes was
delayed so that the potatoes were
not planted until the second week
in May.
On the farm, of Mr.. Frank
Dennison a part of his five-acre
field was weighed, by weighing up
the same length of row in three
parts of the field, and the yield
was found to average 2S8 bushels
per acre.
AS compared to home grown
seed Mr.. Horace Dennison reports
that his yield was doubled through
the use of certified Green Noun
tain seed.
The above yield Of potatoes wa,
secured with potatoes following
potatoes, which of course is not
the best rotation. Fertilizer was
applied at the rate of 1000 pounds
per acre of formula as follows
AZ ammonia, 80 phosphoric acid
and 40 potash. About $50 of the
potatoes had rotted in the ground
as a result of rot, which had beer
caused by blight.-Farm Bureau
