twenty-five.
And he rather liked to show other folks
how much he knew.
One day 10 tho counter came in an un-

One who seemed Of small account,
one whose hair was thin and grny;
Billy didn't like his looks, didn't like the

Not Al An Unreasonable.

The Morning News soes In ex-
Senator saulsbury's confident predic-
ton that the Democratic party win
capture control Of the House of Rep
reeentattves at the 1922 elections and
make n great stride towards resaining
the presidency two years later. N mere,
"fight into the realms of higher fancy"
But not so. Mr. Salisbury is speaking
nationally and with a clear View of
past political history that entirely
justiffes his confidence In the future.
II VIII not be difficult for any one
having an ordinary knowledge of
political events in this country, es-
pecially within the past half century.

rnis,n- Time and again the Democratic
party has illustrated it's resiliency. Its
recuperative powers. and It's ability 10

after an apparently overwhelming re-
p,saiation In the test of a popular vote.
Tho remarkable recoveries in 1889,
1890 and later, after defeats at Presi-
dental elections. bear testimony TO IT'S
capacity for endurance.
But even the overwhelming defeat OF
last November is not to be looked upon
In tho light of history. as placing the
Democratic party hors du coInpat'
helpless wreck 1t has made recovery
from even greater disaster. Let the
Morning News look back to the crush-
ing defeat Of 1s72. after the Greeley

Yanduishing Typhoid Fever.

IL ie indeed cheering information that
the state Board OF Health has at lencth
gotten typhoid fever on the run. that
medical science has gained mastery
over IL, and through careful and full
cooperation with health authorities
there Ia little left TO cause tho public 90
stand in further terror of the diseaBe.
This is surely a great step in advance.
especially to those who remember that
so recently az twonty or twenty-five
years ago this disease seemed 30 be
almost incurabie. at least tho mortality
percentage was large. There was no
known way TO prevent infection nor a
specific 10 cure II when once established.
Under the more recent treatment,
however, people are said TO be rendered
immune from typhoid conditions. and
even though the malady should develop
Il is less dangerous than formerly. and
may be cured possibly without the
tedious wait until Il runs it's course" ="
We must not, however. overlook the
fact that typhoid fever Is to he and has
certain sanitary laws which take into
been checked through the adherence 20
consideration The careful handling OF
milk to prevent contamination. and to
certain other hygienic rules. The great
factor IN realizing upon these advanced
scientific methods OF healing Is, the
cooperation Of the public with these
agencies that are In tho medical
trenches lighting disease. and are
conquering.

Wicomico county (Md) farmers are
almost a unit for the organization of an
association for the uplift of the farming
industry and at a meeting in Salisbury,
day or two ago, the initial steps for
the organization Of farmers asso-
citation were taken. II is expected
that the movement will extend TO all
that part OF the peninsula. and that the
agriculturists OF Sussex county will
unite with H. 1t is apparent that the
farmers of this entire gection have
reached the conclusion that following
the old methods of farming and dispos-
ing of crops can spell only failure.
But TO be wholly effective the farmers
must fully organize and then remain
loyal 20 their associations.

We are ali fond of talking shop,

shoe man sounds his plaintIve yawp
about the price of leather; the
farmer spiels about his crop, and
walls about the weather. The cook,
in language telse and quaint, dis
courses Of his frying, the man who
sells us glass and paint has found
conditions trying, the undertaken
makes complaint that people have

OF ragtine hymns and tightwad
contributions. And every fellow

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

The reaction in last weeks stock
market was not confined TO any one
Individual issue or group of securities,
but the easier tone was general, in
Guiding practically all the high grade as
well as the securities of lesser impor-
tance and stability. At the close Of the
week bankers we're OF the opinion thai
the market will present an irregular
tone for at least another week or ten
days before the upward movement that
was interrupted ten days ago again re-
&umes.
In the meantime there probably will
he period Of accumulation on nil eharp
breaks, because the market IL said TO be
honeycombed with orders slightly under
present quotations. When conditions Of
this kind obtain the technical position
