''Rulsheviks" New Name
For Scrub Stock

From farmer in Wisconsin comes
a new word for use in the Better
Sires-Better Stock" campaign now
being carried on by the United States
Department of Agriculture in coop
Grafton with State and local agencies.
He applies new title to the reaction
aries of bovine society, and cites the
indubitable fact that scrub bulls are
the enemies of good production; that
they levy upon the milk, cream, and
butter checks and compel the farmer
to keen cows, where the cows should
keep the farmer.
With these charges in mind and
with his eyes on the international sit
uation this farmer suggests that the
scrub bull be known hereafter as the
Bulsheviks.

MILFORD CHRONICLE
PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE
TO GOVERNOR
Declares Achievements Of Ad-
ministration are Appre-
ciated by Real People
of State

A Governor who has many enemies
may be classed under one of two head
ings. First: A man who is attempt
ing to create new and better conditions
and radical reforms in the habits Of
the people. Second: A man who at
tempts to exploit public trust for
personal or selfish interests, either
political or through advocating laws
which will work for the welfare of in
dividual or corporate interests. The
histor yof Governor John G.. Town
sends administration will be interest
ing reading in years to come. Strenu-
Gus, stormy, and filled with extraordi-
nary responsibility because of the
great war, with it's urgent activities
to uphold the nation as the share of
Delaware in that great world respon-
sibility. Governor Townsend has gone
through more than three years of
hard work and anxiety. Fortunately
he had surrounded himself with
strong men as administrators and as
sistants in this work, and the result
has been that Delaware has the res
pect and is honored by the balance of
the nation for it's patriotism and 10y
atty to the Union. The policies of
Governor Townsend have not been
adopted without opposition on the
part of a small minority of the peo-
pie, and petty minds have adopted
petty methods of aspersion, which will
be soon forgotten b ythe real people
of Delaware. There has been honest
difference in opinion upon some of the
reforms which Governor Townsend
has advocated, and by his effort have
been brought into effect, and these
have been largely, and generally in
the direction of better moral laws, and
reforms of the fundamental principles
of education.
He has been an earnest and bitter
foe to liquor and it's use as bever.

These, with the personal bitterness
engendered by disappointment of per
sonal desires in political preferment
have brought to Governor Townsen'
bitter enemies, who have made
strong fight to discredit him and hi
administration. This is to be expect
ed, and it generally develops at tn
close of the gubernatorial term.
Governor Townsend has no apolog
to make, and his record needs no on
to frame excuses therefore. To
large extent the enemies and oppor
ents of Governor Townsend are fror

the ranks of those who tolerate Of
fenses against the moral laws, and
who favor the use of liquor and per-
sonal license. These men and womeh
have not advanced one argument Of
siren 9Th to bring about the advanced
effort for better public schools, fol'
better roads, for better moral laws
and for justice to women. Governor
Townsend stands upon his record for
all these, and naturally his opponents
are greater than they would have been
had he permitted his administrative
term as Governor of Delaware to drift
on the old lines of the past, and with
out effort to get better and larger re-
suits from the money spent in state
and county government.
His opponents are content with the
schools of the past, which have been
admitted by more than ninety per
cent of all the people, to have been
wasteful, inefficient and a failure, as
clearly shown by the standing of Del
aware in the record of illiteracy.
These men, one and all are opposed
to the new school laws which were
brought into being by Governor Town
send, on the ground that the cost is
increased for better educating their
children. They oppose the building of
10 l,a
and seize upon the high cost of build
ing as their alleged opposition-and
so it goes down the line. Naturally
these are opponents of Governor John
G. Townsend and his administration.
Deliberate false statements have
been circulated and solemnly alleged
to be facts to create public sentiment
against the Governor in the mind of
those not informed of the truth. Dis
tortions of facts and all the usual
methods have been resorted to in
carrying on this war against man

Kent and Sussex, especially-real i'm

who advocates justice to her women
and that the state be made better to
live in because Of elimination of liq-

The Government Your Banker.

In response to the desire of num-
Der of soldiers who are being released
from the army, Col. Arthur Woods, as
sistant to the secretary of war, has ar
ranged facilities for discharged men
to deposit part of their funds at the
camp and have them transferred to
banks in their home towns. Local
clearing houses in the vicinity of the
twenty-three rehabilitation camps are
appointing agents to handle these
funds and will transfer them free of
charge to whatever bank the soldier
may designate. This gives the released
soldiers an opportunity to safeguard
such Of their funds as they choose, and
to have them forwarded free wherever
they wish.

Statistics Not Always Right.

StatisticsV though often interesting,
are sometimes most misleading and
futile. For example, it is interesting
to know from the census bureau the
number of prison commitments among
the foreign-born population of the
United States, but it would be most
unsafe to base any congratulations on
them, for the number of commitments
to prison is no indication of the num-
Der of crimes committed, and there
are many more criminals at large than
behind the bars. Those in prison were
not clever enough to escape. They
got caught. Those at large were able
to commit their crimes and elude de-
lection. The figures for America prob
ably are not very different There S.
per cent of the criminals are at large.
1t is fair to assume that this So per
cent is more intelligent than the Is
per cent that got caught. Therefore
the Is per cent for which the statistics
are given is a highly selected group,
and any conclusions based upon such
statistics are untrustworthy as applied
to criminals in general, however val
liable they may be as to the compare
lively small number that are in Jail.

Back to the Land in Belgium.

The armistice had hardly been
signed before a Belgian farmer had
returned to his former farm on the
battlefield near Poelcapelle, within a
few miles of Ypres. He has already
cleared, leveled, dug and planted with
wheat several acres of his holding.
A German pill box" of thick concrete
forms home for his family. 1t is this
class of farmer that the agricultural
relief Of allies committee is helping
to get back to the land by gifts of
suitable English live stock. Many hun

have already been distributed among
the small holders in Belgium.

Prepare to Care for Themselves.

Nowhere have the French shown
their remarkable national vitality more
striking than in the way they have
kept up the pursuits of peace while
bearing the brunt of the most exacting
war in history. So far from having
their industries broken by conflict they
have developed scores of new ones,
writes a correspondent. An exhibit
now being held in Paris is given over
entirely to products manufactured in
France, which were formerly imported.
The first division consists of articles
formerly brought from foreign nations,
largely from Germany, while the sec
ond is made up of articles formerly
made in the northern French districts
now occupied by the invader, which
are now being manufactured in south
ern France.

DISPENSING a Crowd.

81 have just come back from forty
eight hours duty in Paris" writes an
officer in a Highland regiment. 'My
servant and i, both in the kilt, were
buying some stuff outside a shop, as
one does in Paris, when a crowd Of
about twenty people gathered round,
and simply stared-some amused, some
open-mouthed, and some doubtless in
admiration. / was amused at first,
but it got a bit too much of good
thing, and my servant, who is wag,
said: Shall I hand round the hat,
sir?'
&c. not thinking he would, I said:
Yes do and-if he didn't whip off his
Balmoral and take it round perfectly
seriously, with a childlike expression
on his face. They cleared off all
right, some grinning, and others look
ing very sheepish. But we got moth

LIVING IN CITIES
Residents Are Not as Neighborly
as in Country.
Life In Metropolitan Municipalities 10
q Battle for Existence, With No
Time for SociabiIity.

"WhO, then, is my neighbour" the
man ''in the city pent" asks himself,
as he regards row of similar house
fronts and reflects ON the fact that he
has only a nodding acquaintance at
best with the majority of the inmates.
Interdependence is fostered by the
conditions of living In the country.
Ordinarily we do not need the help
Of the next house, near or far. But
let fire come, or destructive storm, or
a predatory visitor, or a serious i'll
ness, and the neighbor may be as well
come as angels, says writer In Phila-
delphia Ledger.
City life is often battle OF the
strong, because there are crowds and
there are many mouths to feed and
many shutting feet 10 be shod. If we
let ourselves think of it, the vast null
titude of identities striving to establish
themselves is almost terrifying. Where
did so many people come from? Where
are they all going? How are they to
find a lodging for the night? Each
of the moving swarm is the center of
a circle of friends. The humblest, I'M
less deeply unfortunate, has ties that
bind him to earth and make life-in a
degree-dear to him.
Out of the pagan wilderness to the
urban lights and roarings comes bu-
collie youth. What will the city do to
that unsophistication? Or In what
way will its rugged, innocent power
in time come to prevail upon the city?
Your shrewdest, hardest captain of
business closes his eyes at his desk
and is taken back to murmurouS water
brooks and bees, to the aroma of hay,
of kline, of burning leaves, to the
sound of the whetted scythe or the
sight of baked apples in the window Of
the woodsh6d.
Why can't they brown fiapjacks or
bake beans or concoct apple sauce or
cook oatmeal as they did down ON the
farm?
The table was always big enough
for the unexpected guest. An egg or
quart of milk was no such great event
as it is in a city. There used to be
time, too, to settle the affairs of the
borough and the nation, to discuss
Horace Greeley and to wind the clock,
between supper and early bedtime.
We have filtration, and the vacuum
cleaner, and the servant question, and
all the other city advantages. But it
was something to know the neighbors,
and somehow or other "the men th..t
were boys when / was a boy" mean
something in a lifetime that the brisk,
ambitious, clean-shaven, up-pushing
generation does not convey. 1t would
do these take-it-or-leave-it fellows good
to study the large, leisurely, tranquil
izing ways of their forebearS in the
days when ''civilization" was not on a
tear from the cheap lunch to the bar
gain counter, and home was not way

TROOPS IN REVOLT
Recorded Cases Of Mutiny In
British Army.
Have Been Rare in Recent Years,
Though War Office Archives Con-
tain Accounts of Uprisings
That Were Serious.

With the exception of the recent
rehabilitation troubles, mutinous DEM
onstrations by soldiers of the British
army have been, happily, rare in mod
ern times, though they were not by
any means infrequent in the bad cid
days of the lash and the triangle
One of the most serious of these out
breaks was that which occurred in the
Black Watch, over 100 years ago, in
connection with which three men were
shot in the moat of the tower of Lon
don.
The duke of Wellington had to deal,
too. with several of these outbreaks
during the Peninsular war, and his
methods. for the most part, were
equally drastic.
1t was his way, however, to deal
lightly with mere petulant outbursts.
Thus, when the Twelfth Lancers mis-
behaved in the summer of 1912 by re-
fusing to turn out for church parade,
he decreed that the entire regiment
should be paraded every evening at 10
o'clock, and stand at attention during
the playing of five hymns by the band.
No limit was set to the duration of
the order, and the custom, as it event
ually became, was continued up TO
1912, when it was abolished, after
having lasted exactly 100 years.
Far more serious notice was taken
by the authorities of mutiny which
broke out among the Nineteenth Hus-
sars at the Curragh camp in Novem-
Der, 1877. The trouble began through
discomfort with certain officers in con-
nection with extra duty. No fewfr
than rs of the malcontents were ar
rested and tried before a general
courtmartial, the sentences ranging
from five to eight years penal servi-
tude.
Very tragic was the outcome Of a
mutiny which broke out among the
garrison of Malta in April, 1907. The
malcontents seized Fort Ricasoii, over
looking the grand harbor. where they
were besieged by loyal troops. Event
ually, rather than surrender they fred
the magazine and all persisted.
Probably, however, the most danger
Gus instance of wholesale disaffection
occurred in 1859 among the British
troops then serving in India. The
disaffected men had enlisted to serve
in the Old East India company. Yet,
when the company ceased to exist,
these men, by a stroke of the pen,
we're incorporated into the regular
British army.
They objected, and regiment after
regiment refused to obey orders. In
the end the government was compelled
to accede to their demands, when
some 10000 men claimed their dis
charge, and were sent home to Eng
land.

Interesting Experiment.

Experiments just completed by two
French scientists have reopened the
controversy whether rudimentary man
ifestations of life can be produced in
Inorganic matter. These men took a
glass tube containing a solution of col
loidal silica, sealed it by melting the
glass and subjected tube and contents
to high temperature, long enough to
sterilize them thoroughly, according
to all current ideas of sterilization.
The tube was then kept moderately
warm for two months, and when
opened the contents were full of living
bacteria. Directors contend that the
lcolloidal silica probably operates to
protect bacteria originally in the So
tuition frors the effects of the heat
