THEY SPENT XMAS
WITH GRANDPA
DISCUSS MATTERS IN GENERAL
AND AGREE THAT RAILROADS
4 BE RETURNED TO OWNERS

Ruth and Jack with their moth
.er and father had just returned from
spending Christmas way out in the
country with their only grandfather.
OF course. Uncle Ted was there too
and they had wonderful time coast
ing on their new sleds, skating on
the river and sleigh riding through
the old pine woods.
"Uucle Ted" spoke up Jack,
what was grandpa so mad about
he day you and dad were taking
@ith him in the biz, sleigh?" q
1--WE were talking about the rail-
roads, Jack, and what would be
done with the Cummins bill TO return
them to their owners. But before
4 can tell you why your grandfather
was so angry / must explain a few
things. You will remember a long
time ago / told you and Ruth about
the Plumb plan which would give
the railroads to the men who run
them. Then, not so long ago /
told you all about this Cummins bill,
named after Senator Albert B. Cum
minis of Iowa who spent months and
months trying to get a bill written
which would make it possible to
turn the railroads back to their
owners an put a stop to the gov
eminent running them. 1t is by far
the best bill that has been written
10 take care of that situation. One
part of it, called the anti-strike
clause, also explained. This
clause would make it impossible for
two or more railroad men to strike,
that is, quit work, with a view to
tying up transportation and causing
starvation and suffering for lack of
trains with which to carry food"
"Can they do that now?" asked
Ruth.
Eyes they can. There is no law
to stop it; but with this part of
the Cummins bill made law they
could not. And the Cummins bill
furnishes much more fair way for
the railroad men to settle all their
troubles. It provides for a Com
luittee of Wages and Working Con-
ditions' and three Regional Boards

Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Freeman
sprang pleasant Christmas sur
prise on their relatives and friends
last week when they came from
their home at Casper, Wyo., to be at
the parental G. w. Hoover home for
Christmas. They will remain un-

their western home. Both are
looking well and from all indications
the west seems to agree with them.
On account of pressing business
matters Mr.. Freeman could not be
away longer and for that reason
their visit at this time had to be
made short.

ANNUAL FARMERS
DAY AND PICNIC TO
BE HELD AUGUST S
Director McCue Planning Pro.
gram of Unusual Interest
at Experiment Station

Farmers Day at the Delaware
College Experimental Farm will be
held this year on Thursday, Au-
gust 5th. Dean and Director G. A.
McCue is planning a program that
should appeal to farmers all over
the Delmarvia Peninsula. While
this event is carried out in the form
Of an annual picnic It's object is to
bring farmers Of the state into
actual contact with the expert
mental work being carried on by
the College in their behalf and the
opportunity of becoming acquaint-
ed with the experiment station staff
who will be present to explain the
results of the experiments to date.
Requests have come to the college
from Sussex county to arrange for
a special train on the Delaware
Road that will make it possible for
the people from down state to
spend more time at the college farm
than is possible under present train
schedules and connections.

Oxford Electric Co. Branches ont
The Oxford Electric Company is
pushing it's line to Rising Sun right
down the road. Holes are dug as
far as Sylmar and the line has been
completed to Nottingham, with the
exception of stringing the wire. The
digging Of the holes has been put
out to contract and the work is
therefore pushing ahead much more
rapidly than usual. Once Rising
Sun is reached, that plant will be
connected with the line and this
will then be pushed on to Port De-
posit. Within very short time
the building of the line from
Quarryville to Oxford will be be-
gun and this will mean that by
fall there will be two lines into
town with automatic switches, = so
that there will be no likelihood OF
even minor Interruptions inservice.

One of our local citizens tells
this story, and he says it happened
at very prominent home: 1t oc-
Cured in the evening. I and sew
eral others were calling. AS we
chatted in the parlor we heard the
patter Of little feet at the head Of
the stairs above. The mother Of
this particular home raised her
hand for silence. "Hush! The
children are going to deliver their
good night message" she said soft
ly. "It always gives me a telling
Of reverence to hear them. They
are so much nearer the Creator
than we are, and they speak the
love that is in their hearts never so
fully as when the dark has come.
Listen.' Then there was a mo-
ment of tense silence. Then, 'EMam-
ma, came the message from above,

Asset or Liability?

Charles M. Schwab in a talk to
Princeton stundents said:
Il had lesson brought home to
me here today that | have been
thinking Of ever since. You have
here in Princeton the daughter of
my dearest friend, Mr.. Carnegie,
and l went to her home to see her
today, to wish her the happiness
that she deserves. I was the first
one to see her about twenty-one or
two years ago, and / saw her TODAY.
With all Of her wealth and every
thing that she might have that
imagination might devise, I saw her
living in the simplest Of cottages in
the simplest and most unostenta-
tlous style and-the happiest young
woman it has been my privilege to
meet for many years.
Now, boys, there is an object
lesson for all Of us. | have a great
house in New York. I have a great
country estate. About the only
pleasure | get out Of it is the fact
that L have to pay it's taxes and have
enough money in bank to do it
with. | don't own the estate and
l don't own the house. They own
me: My secretary made up one day
list of my assets and liabilities.
am not going to tell you what they
were. BUT he had this great estate
and house on the side Of my per-
sonal assets. I said: You are
wrong; they are not an asset, they
are liability. Put them on the
other side So it is, boys. As |
grow older I find I want to have
simpler things about me, the truest
of old friends. And boys, if you
could know the joy of the long
association and companionship with
men such as | have known you
would realize that you yet are tc
have such compensation for old
age as you have no idea of and you
are to enjoy the truest thrills thai

VAST LOSS
IN NITRATE
IS ALLEGED
House G.. o. P. Accuse Ad-
ministration of Millions
Lost in Plants.
By United Press.l

Washington, May Is. - Charging
that the war department spent
$116,194,974.37 on plants which
produced no nitrate prior to the
signing Of the armistice, the Re-
publicans Of the house war ex-
penditures committee, in a report
made public today declared the
whole nitrate program was one
Of misdirected effort"
The alleged failure of the pro-
gram lis directly traceable to Ber-
nard NJ. Baruch, who admits that
he was the moving spirit in the
plans of the government" the re-
port stated.
The Republican charges we're de-
MED fatty in a minority report
filed by Representative Garrett of
Tennessee. who asserted that if it
was mistake to embark on the
nitrate program. it was also an er-
ror to call to arms 100000 men
who never left the United States.
G. 0. r. Recommendations.
Recommendations Of the Repub-
licans as outlined by Chairman
Graham, Illinois, follow:
That no further sums be paid to
the air nitrates corporation or its
sub-contractors for the building of
plants at Mussel Shoals, Ala; To-
ledo and Cincinnati.
rrbat o;r;l e,,;t. ha ;pef;t,,faI n
recover such sums as may compen-
safe the United States for the fail
ure Of the corporation to carry out
its contracts or that the corpora
tion bring suit against the govern
ment for money now due it.
That the plant at Mussel Shoals
be leased by the war department
for the production Of fertilizer.
For Salvaging Plants.
That the plants at Toledo and
Cincinnati be salvaged.
That the plant at Sheffield, Ala,
be kept for experimental purposes,
but that 1000 acres near it be sold.
The charge is made by the Re-
publicans that plants were located
at Toledo and Cincinnati to quiet
the opposition of Representative
Nicholas Longworth to the Mussel
Shoals project"
The whole program promised
nothing in the way Of winning the
war and accepted nothing" the re-
port concluded.
