 A general alarm has been sent out in the last several weeks by official authority in many cities, calling for united action against the criminals of all sorts, who have been carving on reign of terror.
 Never before have the criminals been so bold. Nothing is too risky or too horrible for them to tackle. Money or something that can be turned into money IS the primary object of these degenerates-and they do not hesitate to take life in order to gain their end. The war and the conditions growing out of 1t have led many people to regard human life cheaply. The automobiles and other modern improvements have made it possible to commit a long series of new crimes or old ones in new ways while many of the offenders are caught and brought to justice in too many cases they seem able to keep a few leaps ahead of the officers in their means and methods. The off cers in some cases do not do their full duty. They do not relish going after criminals who are ready to put

It Is Now Time 10 Garden.

IC IS " OW nte TO C0TdeH.
 With frosts holding on until the past week 1 can see now that Wanda was right in not letting me garden early like 1 wanted to, but last week she put it into the heart of C. L. Palmer to bring my blows home and come up and break a part of my gar den for me. Ava came along and dropped some beans and corn for me. That was Friday mind you, and Sunday morning, only two days later, 1 the beans had sprouts on them over half inch long. If everything keeps on growing that way for us il won't be long until our garden Is ahead of everybody else's. 1 really don't ex- pect much of a garden this year for new ground seldom ever does turn out good garden, but 1 expect to have my ground in good shape for garden next year. If 1t should turn out we'll all the credit for 1t will be due Wanda, who has forced me to work 1t her way and already I have to acknowledge that my way was wrong, but of course l did not know that we were going to have so many late frosts.
 If 1 don't have much of garden l am going to have lots of black and huckleberries.
 While moving l lost my note book, so a lot of things l had jotted down will fail to get a mention.
 Lith Hammons sent me fifty Porto Rico yam slips by mail which arrived before the last frost, on April 27. Wanda would not let me set them out until week later so 1 hope they will now escape the frosts. Rev. Barkheimer of Wye gave me about thirty tomato slips, which 1 set out at the same time.
 Mir. Hammons also gave me some gourd seed, the big kind, which grow large enough to hold half bushel. 1 concluded l would plant . couple of hills of them in one corner of my garden. When got to digging there l found it was the richest spot in the garden. 1 also planted some bouquet pepper and row of long variety. As the soil ekept getting richer I thought would plant me a small bed of lettuce there also. l dug down about two feet and found the dirt as black as a hat all the way down. Then l planted me a row of radishes and one of the big sugar beets. | must also plant a few tomatoes there and some cassabas and eantaloupes.

 My statement appeared in last weeks Pulaskian that the grass looks like the fall of the year. We'll, 1t at once began to look more like fall, for ever since then the woods around my place have been afire. I started to Sunday school Sunday morning and when got to the corner of my woods 1 found them afire, so I had to stay at home. 1 wanted to go to Little Rock today, but decided 1 had better wait day or two longer and burn around my house before I left.

The drouth is sure enough on in earnest. l suppose l have about har- vested my crops; if t don't rain know have. They consisted of a little side dish of English pears and a half dozen Irish potatoes as big as bird eggs. Those with a few green apples a friend gave me for sauce, a few dewberries, coffee, bread, meat, etc., made me a real nice dinner. With a crop that only turns out one meal for farmer a year 1t looks like poor business to say the least. l sure do hate to see my garden burn up, but that Is farmers luck oftener than it is to make a good crop.

A4duHleIIe, Afk., May y. I9ZI.
 At last 1 am all moved and in my old log hut. in the little valley. on top of Pine Ridge, my new home. The last load got in the first of last week. The Wandering Fairy sent the humming bird around to tell me how we'll pleased she was with my move. Hummer first stopped at the rose bushes east of the house, where he delivered the message, then he went to the next bush, but only tarried there a moment, but when he got to the best bush, the one south of the house, there he stopped and began to flatter me about my lovely roses. He stayed many times longer than he did on his first visit, but even this visit came to an end. Mocking bird has come and made her home with me. and awakes me every morning with her songs. She sings nearly all night. A couple of sap suckers have visited me several times and how they fuss at me. Why don't you, they said, tell the people we are not as bad as some think Us. We do not dig holes in your trees just to iniure them, but on the contrary, we dig into them to get out the nasty worms, which would kill the trees if we did not dig them out. ; And with that they were gone.
 
 Something came through my woods, just east of the house. the other evening, that scared me. l don't know what 1t was. At first 1 thought 1t was a dog barking, then I thought maybe it was a turkey gobbler. It also sounded just like an auto horn and 1t sounded also like a bull, and if it wasn't him 1t must have been Bud Daniels mill whistle, for I sup pose he blows 1t of a Friday evening to let the people know that he will grind the next day, but hold on, that won't do, for his mill don't travel through my woods. We'll, 1t might have been an airplane, provided they use horns.

Knows No Better Location.
There is no location along the
whole length OF our Atlantic sea-
board so naturally adapted and log
ically and geographically situated
for immediate use. and future ex-
pansion as that which the city OF
Wilmington is now developing along
the Christiana and Delaware rivers.
"The controlling factor, in a COM
petitive sense. for having and hold
ing our share of the worlds trade, is
vested in our merchant marine, and
to compete in the transportation of
our own goods through that agency
the paramount necessity is adequate
and up to date port facilities to in
sure economic handling of merchan-
disc and basic raw materials.
Under normal conditions, which
obtain at our more important ports,
the losses sustained from delays and
excessive charges seem almost in
surmountable; and for this reason
the time is opportune for providing
ways and means contributing to a
general relief. especially through tho
avenue Of port development, ans in
this regard Wilmington seems the
best place to begin along the North
Atlantic seaboard.
Trade Expansion Necessary.
''The completed scheme for devel-
opment at Wilmington would inn
mediately relieve the ports OF Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and New York,
Evening journal., 1921-10-18

and within the decade following the
completion OF its first unit it is es.i-
mated that the expansion in business
would be OF sufficient volume to at
tract vessels to that port for that
reason alone; but allowing that in
its primary operation it would un-
ldoubtedly draw tonnage from neigh
boring ports; yet on the other hand,
with the great upland area, which
the project shows to be available fol-
the location of manufacturing and
industrial plants, as well as the op-
portunity for warehousing and other
enterprises, 1t is peculiarly inviting
from it's geographic location at tide
water, for such lines of business, and
very soon would develop progress
sively its own tonnage.
LAS regards TO the effect the Will
mington development might have on
the neighboring ports in the diver
sion OF tonnage, it is best to point
out graphically, as follows:
Assuming the total tom
mage now passing
through the port of
New York to be. ...... $4,000. 600
Philadelphia ........ 2O,OOO,O0O
baillmore ............. $4,000 600
Aotai ............... $4,000, 900
"As against this. assume that the
maximum tonnage, which the COM
pleted first unit at Wilmington will
be able to handle to be, in round
numbers, 100000 tons, it is readily
seen that the effect, even krough
Wilmington drew its entire compile
ment Of tonnage from any one of
the other ports. would be infnitesi-
NAL, as in percentage it would
amount to not more than one-half
of one per cent.
No attempt has been made 10
obtain the exact figures, but the re-
suit should be clear enough to serve
TO allay any fears on the part OF
neighboring ports, that through this
development they will lose prestige
or tonnage to any major degree.
"As Wilmington expands in the
next decade so will the volume OF
business expand at the other ports
mentioned.
But immediate relief is obligatory
TO care for normal business and any
project which can in any way prove
a factor in clearing the situation.
should be given every consideration
and encouragement, not only in a
local civic sense. but as to its bear
ing on the welfare Of the country
