PRESS COMMENTS.
FROGS.

Some people speak OF the spring music
of the frogs as "croaking." They might
as justly refer to the squawlsing of the
hermit thrush or the yowling of the
nightingale. Spring frogs do not "croak.'
They sing. And they sing sweet songs.
The bullfrogstruly croalss. but he does
not begin till spring is past. Tho spring
singers are tiny mites, no bigger than a
thimble. There are several species. and
each has it's own distinctive song. They
all belong to the tree-frog class. though
in the spring none of them is tree
dweler.
Any one who is really annoyed by the
spring music of the frogs has none of
the essence of the season I'm him. To
him spring is but n meaningless shift OF
the calendar. He has not felt the stir
of resurrection and new life.
To one who halls the spring with true
thankfulness after winters long waiting
the music of the pools is true delight.
BY day IL is cheering song. by night n
lullaby. II comes so early, almost be-
fore we had realized the presence OF
spring.
Frog song is March's own music. The
month has bird music, too. but so have
most of the other months. Frog music,
or the better part of 1t, belongs to
March, and to March alone.-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.

DOES JAPAN KEEP YAP7

Viscount Uchida, the Japanese foreign
minister, says that Japan will retain her
mandate over Yap and will stand firm
Iy on her rights. The only rights
Japan obtained we're obtained SO ques-
tionably that no one implicated in the
transaction seems to care TO say much
in its defense.
Mr.. Wilson was given to understand
that his demand for the international
ization of the cable and radio station
was accepted and with that understand
ing created Japan was given the island.
Mr.. Wilson did not ask that the Unitod
States be given IL. but merely that its
facilities for the transmission of intel
ligence be kept open on fair terms 10
all nations.
The powers evidently are willing to
freeze the United States out of cable
rights, but at the same time they are
asking for American cooperation In
European and Asiatic readjustment.
The basis of any cooperation must be
good faith. and the United States is not
exactly helpless in insisting that II be
dealt with in good faith.
Baron Uchida may be right. Japan
may keep Yap. IL he Is right. the
United States Is duped and submits to
it-Chicago Tribune.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

South Carolina farmers are finding an
other money drop besides cotton. There
is more money In growing sweet pota /
toes at the price for which sweet
potatoes can be sold on the Northern
market than in raising cotton at any
thing like the present prices Within
the past few days five carloads of sweet
potatoes have been shipped from South
Carolina. and while this is only a drop
in the bucket it is nevertheless a be-
ginning in the right direction.
There are great possibilities in the
sweet potato industry. There is no good
reason why the South should not help
feed the nation as well as clothe il. In
stead of buying food from the West, the
South can compete with that section
Food is easier TO produce than cotton.
and after producing sufficiently for his
own needs the Southern farmer might
add largely 10 his revenues by develop
ing markets for the many staple food
products that can be grown 10 better

DISARM AM ENT.

Certain groups of American women,
among whom are numbered many Will
mington residents. urge that President
Harding call a disarmament conference
and invite all the nations of the world
to attend and devise means by which
the burden of militarism may be lifted
from the people.
The desire of these women is com
menable. Their action speaks we'll for
their hearts. But they should realize
that a method has already been pro
vided by which such a matter may be
discussed-through the Armament Com
mission Of the League OF Nations. I'm
Fortunately America does not possess a
membership card in that body. If we
did. disarmament conferences no doubt
would be in session now.
over 40 nations have entered that
body. But this nation. on the outside.
Is feverdshly preparing for the next war
with anyone. at anytime. Naturally
those nations within the League feed
that they must protect themselves.
Thus we are leading the merry arrna-
rnent dance. ....... The situation would
be humorous. if it was not so tragic.

this spring should read the game laws
thoroughly before they saunter forth in
quest of the elusive torgets. Time doing
such would be wei spent. and might

Sometimes these laws protecting mi
gratory birds seem harsh. But when 1t
is remembered that most of the game
in this country was killed off by greedy
hunters who took more than they could
ever eat, it is seen that drastic regula-
tions were necessary to insure that
some game would be left on the con-
tinent.

Of the grain farmers are two. They

They believe that cooperative ware

practicability Of cooperative grain

THE BRIDGES.

The failure of the State Senate to con-
cur on the bill. passed by the House.
which would have authorized the New
Castle County Levy Court to issue sSOe.
coo OF bonds to build two bridges over
the Brandywine was severe blow to
all Wilmin gtonians who know how badly
the new bridges are needed.
Reports from Dover. during the clos
ing days of the Legislature. were opu-
nistic regarding this measure. 1t had
passed the Senate. It was stated that
il would pass the House with no trouble
whatsoever. But at the last minute q
hitch occurred. old personal enmities
and political grudges came 10 the front,
ard the measure failed.
The Levy Court has the authority 70
construct bridges and pay for them by
taxation in the County. If it sees 1T The

financing such projects, Of course, Is by

We believe that MIR. Kramer is un-
duly optimistic. Regardless of the
merits or demerits of prohibition. the
fact remains that the volstead act is
one of the most severe statutes ever
placed on the nations books, and al
most impossible TO enforce all the time
everywhere.
Some OF the most ardent champions of
the Great Drought, who have analysed
the effects of that measure. declare that
its provisions are too wide-sweeping,
and too inclusive for a country which
has as one OF its corner-stones the prin-
oiple of personal liberty.

If 1T is duly enforced. it Is possible that
the next generation of Americans will
grow up without knowing what in

element will have been taken from
American hfe-the sooiability. and the
places for sociability among certain
classes. which nourished in pre-war
days
1t is too early to say whether the
removal of this element from our ma

action or not. History has shown that

PROHIBITI0N.

John +. Kramer, Federal Prohibition
Commissioner, in an article in the
American Legion Weekly. outlines the
difficulties which his force IS expert
encing in enforcing the National Pro-
hibition Act.
Mr.. Kramer says that there are
seven main sources Of trouble. These
are: the Illicit distiLing Of whiskey
which is being done mainly in the
mountains Of certain states, and in the
congested districts Of certain cities; the
vbiskey runners, who bring wet goods
in from Canada and Cuba; the provi-
sion for the use of intoxicating liquors
in the manufacturing Of patent. patent
ed and proprietary medicine. which pro-
vision is being daily violated; the ex-
istence Of large quantities Of liquor in
bond. which is constantly trickling out
to the JOY Of the thirsty; the use Of
alcohol in the manufacture Of cereal
beverages; the little home brew and
gtin-"eyery home has a stnl all its
oygn"-and the difficulty in securing
reliable organizations Of prohibition
agents
Mr Kramer states that despite these
difficulties. the enforcement Of the vari-
ans prohibition laws is becoming easier.
and that his fo4ces are gaining ground
al the while He predicts that within
comparatively short time the attitude
Of people toward liquor VIII have so
changed that il wil be an easy matter
