CARP FISHERMEN
REhPING A HARVEST
Flooded Marshes Around Della
ware City Make This Fish
Plentiful There.

Special Correspondence TO Every Evening
Delaware City, Nov. 1s-When the
Delaware river bank between here and
Port Penn broke. about three years ago,
farmers sustained much damage to their
property and farm land, but fishermen
have reaped golden harvest as a result
of the ill-luck that befell the landowners
along the river
Carp fishermen have been making
catches the past week or ten days that
have broken all records The FISH are
being caught on the many marshes in
this section, which have been flooded as y
result Of the break in the river bank
Catches of three and four hundred pound
of the fish in a single day are being made
by a number of the crews
Deslers from Wilmington and Philac
delphia make daily visits 10 this place
To buy the fish Fifteen cents pound y
being paid for the fish and the dealers are
glad 10 secure them at this price, In the
olden days carp were shipped by boat
and rail t. Philadelphia and other points,
but this method Of transportation has
been suprlanted with the modern motor
truck The trucks have compartments
arranged SO that very large quantities Of
the fish can he carried
Ten to fifteen crews are following tho
carp fishing industry. while in former
years there were few that sought these
fish. although there was much activity
when the fish we're caught in the waters
Of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal
The carp fishing season opened the FIRST
Of September and will continue ~ the
first Of Nav. The cold weathe docs not
affect the catch, as during the coldest
weather, the fishermen are ahl To make
large catches.
The flooding Of the marshes, although 3
blessing 10 the fishermen, has been bad
luck for the muskrat trappers, ss the very
marshes which are now Welding the large
quantities Of carp are the marshes that
several year ago netted many muskrat,

Radiolighs on Radium.

Chicago News: And now New York
state has fallen for that radium bunk,
having invested $225,00O of the tax
payers money for a little chunk of
the worlds greatest gold brick for
the use of the States INSTITUTE for
Malignant Diseases" We quote title
from tho New York Evening Sun.
Because radium is the worlds most
expensive product, in money cost
1t is argued that the stuff must be of
some use, although the leading ply
sicians Of the world have found it
only IAN interesting experiment, I"
thus far of no practical value.
Still, radium ought to be a good
investment 1t is concrete repre-
sentation OF human folly, and that
is the best paying thing on earth. IT
one could corner radium market,
one could become richer than Croe-
sus or even Rockefeller, selling drib-
lets OF it to wives of plutocrats for
jewel settings. Because whatever is
rare has the value Of it's rareity in
the minds of those who Judge values
by exclusiveness of possession.

Forbes Magazine: Don't mark cir
culars Personal Most executives
and other busy men have their secre-
taries oran all mail except that
marked Personal" When such a
man opaus a Personal" letter and
finds that it contains nothing but n
circular, the chances are ten to one
that, instead OF reading the message
in friendly and responsive frame of
mind. he will pitch it into the waste
paper basket, feeling that he has been
misled, that he has been cheated, that
he has been robbed OF some OF his
time by cheap trick.
Apart from the ethics involved, l
believe 1t is poor business to attempt
to reach a prospect by such a subter-
fuge. Let your communication go
forward without a false label. Let
1t take its chance Of reaching your
man in the regular course. He will
then be in fair frame of mind when
he glances at it and is, therefore.
much more likely to respond. Ad-
mittedly, the percentage of circulars
to reach their mark will not be so
high when sent out without the Per
sonaI' tag; but it is safe to conclude
that the percentage of favorable re-
sponses will be distinctly higher than
when this all-too-common dodge is re-
torted to. Play the game fairly. II

FREIGHT RATES AND LIVING COSTS.

At the present, when abnormal profits have
been the rule, it is more than doubtful whether
the freight rate increase can be fully passed on
to the consumer. In some cases most OF 1t doubt
less will be; but in others most or all OF it will
come out of sellers profits. Freight rates, wage
increases and other advances in the cost OF pro-
luction can be passed along to the consumer,
and more than passed along, at a time Of infla-
ton In a period of deflation the burden must
be assumed by producers
A higher freight rate, bringing greater reve-
nues. will enable the railroads to increase
their facilities, and therefore in the longer fu
lure it will work actually to reduce the cost
Of living The country has had enough of made
ullatc railroad service car shortages and freight
enbargoes, which have held up business all
around by delays in deliveries of raw materials,
forced increased borrowing in a time Of credit
scarcity, cut down production, thrown men out
of employment, and made goods scarce at the
points at which they wanted for consump-
ton. Oficialdom has awakened to the gravity
Df this problem but the belatedness of the
awakening has done untold injury

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
THE OLD VIOLIN.

THE OLD VIOLIN.
With the unused bow. and the muted strings
Meath the picture there, it stands,
AS free of the life of the oiden time,
AS the dear, loved quiet hands.
She sitS at work in the same old room,
With its memories sad and sweet;
With her fingers busy all day long,
Till the shadows round her meet
Then folding, softly, her work away
She dreams of the life gone by;
OF Janesys youth, their united lives,
And each old time melody.
When, tired of work, as the evening came,
He turned to his violin
With heart forgetful of daily cares
Or the sorrows that once had been.
With the kitchen cleared, for the merry feet.
Full oft would he add the joys
OF the merry strains for a gladstone dance
For the neighbor girls and boys.
IT'S so, a musician thinks of naught else
In the rest that the sweet notes bring.
Each trouble each care seems so trivial now
In the love of this. One Great Thing.
Her silvery head bows in sweet content
As in fancy she sees 1t ALL
The bright eyed youth, and the mirth and JOY,
With the music's throb and fail.
And he of the picture, is smiling down
With the love of the long ago.
'Twould seem that his fingers must feel the touch
OF the strings and the ready bow.

REVIVAL OF LABOR EFFICIENCY,

A hopeful development has been the reports

general Improvement Of labor's efficiency in the
last four five months. Labor's ineficiency

linual demands for more wages and shorter

BOOMING IN HAVANA.

Charles Phelps Cushing, in Leslie's:
For day or two the visiting American
lis bewildered and little shocked by
Havana's evident Indifference about
whether he stays or goes. Then he
begins to perceive the reason why.
When times were hard on Senior Mar
los plantation, winter boarders fur
nished welcome addition to the rev
enue from his market garden. But,
carramba! how times have changed!
A grand piano stands in the patio I'M
der tarpaulin because the old home
stead is SO full of other expensive fur
niture that the planter must build an
addition to his parlor to house it..
And out in the back yard under a
tent is brand-new twin six with
flashy trimmings.
parable may help to illumine the
situation. Back in 1906, when Marios
sugar fields were taking in, let us
say, $1,000 a year, the guest room
was open to all corners at 81 day.
-Four years later the planter harvested
a $4,000 crop and hiked the shelter
rates for travellers to So fiat. On
rising scale, as the senor's income
from sugar increased, his winter visi-
tors had to meet further increases in
the hotel rates, until in 1913 the sugar
crop was valued at $500 and guest
room fetched $3.50 per diem. Last
year the plantation was expected to
bring in something like $4,000. In
stead, it reached $4,000, SO the senior
and his wife laid in some fancy store
clothes and boosted the rate for ac-
comodations to real Fifth avenue
scale. This year he expects to take
in the tidy sum of $4,000, and q
room with bath is difficult to find in
Cuba's capital at $40 a day.

AN ARcHIRIsHoP,s LAMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Archi
bishop Patrick ]. Hayes in New York
opened an industrial meeting the Other
day with few remarks on things
nowadays that were doleful, but that
may bear reprinting:
With science giving the shrug
of doubt as to the existence of
God, with law courts grinding
out divorces ad nauseam, with
passing literature that finds it
pays to portray characters reek-
ing with moral sham and condon-
ing the offense, with young and
old gone mad over the lurid mo-
ton film, with the drama de-
PRAYED in spite of heroic efforts
OF the many who patroRize and
love the clean play, with the daily
press mirroring the crimes and
sins of society, with feminine
dress hooking at decency and
modesty with ever decreasing res
pect for the flag of our country
where is the power who has the
wisdom? Where the salvation Of
of youth of our land?
We do not belive that things are
as bad as he was looking at them,
but there is at least a modicum of
truth in all of what he said. 1t is
well now and then to face the facts
even II they may be disagreeable to
those who pose in self righteousness
or co1npiacency.
But it is well to bear in mind that
there was never time when such
things could not be said against ex-
listing things. The writer's of holy
script, especially laundering prophets
wrote many such indictments against
their own times. They in their time
pictured the world as going to the
dogs with hell yawning Thousands
have SO indicted their own times since
then. And we are doing it today.
There are many people who see many
things that are wrong and that are
becoming worse. But somehow the
world survives and it always turns
out that things are little better in
heir outcome than they are in their
outlook. A little of Pollyanna's philoso-
,hy is not the worst thing that we
night have preached today. We need
he note OF. hope as well as the re-
rain of despair. While things may
seem to be somewhat loose around
IS, they may only seem SO. ThaI
roung men and women who are now
hell bent as viewed by
hose who are older may turn out as
ober as those older ones are now
nd they in their turns may view the |
incoming generation with the same !
mount of alarm.
