HOW TO EMPLOY THE IDLE
Democratic Messenger-Snow Hill,
Md

/ (D6mOCfaLlC messenger -OuOW Illll'
Md
Nobody deplores unemployment
more than this newspaper; nobody
would rejoice more if it could be said
that there was not a single idle man
in this country.
But in the midst of all this discus
sion of opening factories at n loss,
while we hear all these schemes of
public employment to be paid out of
taxes, our public men and newspapers
seem to avoid the unpleasant facts.
Get down to fundamentals, all ye peo-
pie, and the situation will slowly but
surely right itself.
There are only two difficulties
very serious handicaps to prosperity
in this country right now. Here
they are:
+ Immoderate costs.
Immoderate taxes.
Industry cannot rise with the taxes
as they are. And yet they talk about
putting millions to work at public
cost, enormously increasing the al
ready inordinate taxes.
Industry cannot arise to action with
skilled wages anywhere from $500 to
$500 for an eight-hour day. And yet,
except in a few cases. unionists and
non-unionists refuse to bring down
the scale of wages.
Pare down your taxes, reduce your
costs of operating, and money will
come out and start wheels that will
mean employment to increasing num-
bers. Fail to do these things and idle
swarms will continue to swarm.

HORTICULTURAL MEETING

The executive committee of the
Peninsula Horticultural Society has
decided to hold the annual meeting in
Berlin, Md, beginning November 29th.
A number of premiums have been
offered, which it is thought will bring

fruit in all parts of the pininsula.

NO PATERNALISM - President
Harding expedited the unemployment
conference by making it clear at the
beginning that he did not approve of
a paternalistic and socialistic scheme
of supplying employment. He rightly
observed that such a scheme would
defeat the purposes in mind. With all
such projects out of consideration,
the conference directed its attention
to practical methods, that, when es-
tablished, will lead to permanent, not
to mere temporary relief.

ALL dALLOW EEN IallS upon Null
day, October 31st, this year, two
weeks in which the young folks can
arrange for the merry observation of
the season. The happy observation of
the time honored period given over
for an evening of fun and amusement,
must be encouraged by the older
folks. Youth has only brief period
in the span of life to fill in with hap
piness and pleasant memories of
their past, so, for that reason let the
masquerading, the decorations and
jolly parades proceed with approval
of all. The paper decorations showing
the goblins and witches, the pump
kins, the clown antics of the mas
queraders, all go to make up the mer-
~ observation of a pleasant custom,
which relaxes the people and affords
pleasure to all. But there should be
at least a semblance of an Organiza-
ton of the festivities, that the over
boistrous boys may have line of re-
straint to prevent them from over
stepping the line of decency and pro-
priety to others who masquerade. Let
the sport be plenty and organized and
all will be happy when Halloween
has ended.

IN ALL PARTS of Delaware farm
ers have husked and housed great
er part of their corn crop of the
present season up to October fifteenth,
than has been known to be accom-
plished in more than forty years past.
This is the result of wheather condi-
tions, which matured the crop early
and made it dry out quickly. The dry
weather has stopped many farmers
from plowing their corn fields to be
seeded in wheat for the next seasons
crop of that cereal, which is another
reason why farmers found time to
husk their corn crop earlier than us
ual. The crop of corn generally
speaking, is fine in quality and guam
tity, so that the question of price Of
fered is not so serious as it would
have been with a short crop to har-
vest.

THE NEW UNIFORMS WHICH are
to be worn by trainmen on the Penn
svlvania Railroad in charge of the
passenger trains, starting with next
Monday, will be striking in their ap-
pearance-if there is no change in
the plans as announced to the brake
men and conductors, who are to wear
the new uniforms. The color is green
for the cloth, with white buttons,
while the cap will be red. Certainly
this new uniform will be sufficiently
striking in colors to distinguish the
trainmen so that mistaken identity
will be impossible.

DOMESTIC HELP recently has
been in less demand at the high
prices prevailing during and after
the war closed. The cause for this
is the general tendency to curtail eX-
penditures, with a Iessening OF the
demand for labor of all kinds. The
capable woman who is retained at
high wages, is probably the most sat
isfactory to the employer-but the
great majority of domestic help which
operated on the theory of rendering
as little service as possible for any
wage paid them, are the ones against
whom employers are in rebellion
These must give proper and intelll-
gent service, or receive pay as in
competents. When the domestic
workers realize this and reorganlze
the system of working, the public will
feel justified in paying fair wages for
fair service given.

IT IS ONLY FAIR to the cities and
towns that all state boulevards should
be built through the various villages
and towns, where such roads or high
wavs are a part of the continuous
route of travel. The towns have ad-
ditional taxes for support of the local
government, in addition to the county
taxes collected from the property 10
Gated within their incorporated limits.
Certainly it is only fair that these
connections through the towns with
county and state highways, should be
built as part of the road. The town
property is liable for the final pay
ment of the bonds issued by the coun-
ties. in exactly the same proportion
as the farms and other real estate or
taxable property-for that reason we
must insist that justice be done IN
building the roads through the cities
and towns in Delaware in all future
propositions for construction. This
problem will be put up to the legisla-
ture of Maryland to solve at the ap-
preaching session next winter, When'
we believe the towns will get fair
treatment in the road problem.

FARMERS ARE RECEIVING more
or less sympathy for the lean year
of 1921, which has brought them up
with a hard jar in their financial af-
fairs. After several years of unusual
prosperity, when all kinds of grain
and farm produce brought any price
asked. the farmers of Delaware exper-
fenced very comfortable results from
the business of agriculture in all
lines. That many thought that these
conditions would continue for years
to come, created the habit of careless
spending of money and making I'M
provements beyond the needs of peace
times and conditions. Others saved
or invested the proceeds of the farms,
as. the deposits in the banks show
plainly. The farmers are to be con-
graduated upon the prosperous years
which proceed the general reaction
anu repression Ill oil oSAASUANAe'~ "a
prices-regardless of their disposal OF
the prosperity which came to them.
Too little thought is given to the
facts which underlay the business OF
farming and agricultural generally.
For this reason the calamity howls OF
those farmers who proclaim that they
have not made living on the farm,
must be taken seriously, but with
that the farmer operating
a farm, is in much better financial
condition than the wage Garner, or
salaried man, who resides in the city
or town. If there is sympathy to be
given, the latter certainly has claim
upon the public greater than the man
a farm.
The fact is overlooked by farmers
generally, that they with the family
each year get their living directly
rom the farm regardless OF the
money returns from any crop. Their
living is assured, through and by the
,roducts of the farm.

Now, however, nailc are as cheaply

kinds of nails and tacks adapted to
every known purpose, all of them hcau-
tifully finished and always dependable.
On every farm and in every work
shop, the habit of savi.-s old crooked
nails has been handed down from our
grandfathecs and everyone who has
tried to make repairs on machinery or
buildings and who has been compelled
to fish around in the old junk box and
straighten out crooked nails, has
Learned that the time thus consumed
has been often more than the time re-
! quired to do the repairing job.
So it would seem that instead of buy
ing nails assorted and throwing them
all into one box, there to be fished for
as needed-that every workshop ought
to have full supply of nails from ting
brads to the largest spike, all in their
own receptacles, because time now has
become the most important item in any
Job.
