SOB.SISIER STUFF
THE New York "World" publishes

THE New York "World" publishes a
1 cartoon picturing Europe in the
character of poverty-stricken woman
sitting on the doorstep of Uncle Sam,
while Uncle Sam hesitates as to his
duty. The picture is scarcely true in
its attempted portrayal of world con-
ditions. Europe is no poverty stricken
woman. To be fairly accurate repre-.
sentation of affairs across the Atlantic,
European nations should be pictured az
men who had been striving so eagerly
for commercial supremacy that they
eventually got into fight which lasted
until both were exhausted and came to
the doorstep of Uncle Sam for assist
ance. That one of the combatants is
more at fault than the others, no one
will question. That they want assist
ance to recuperate is also beyond doubt.
But that the United States is under
moral obligations to lift their burdens is
an altogether different matter. Certain
ly the United States ought not look
upon them or treat them as prosper.
GUS householder would be expected to
treat q poverty stricken woman who
fell exhausted upon his doorstep after
making conmendable effort to earn a
living. The "World" is far from fair
in its presentation of facts through the
mediumship of a cartoon.

This is rheumatism of the muscles

is quite painful. Every movement ag-
gravates the disease. Go to bed, keep
quiet and have Chamberlain Liniment

expected. Mrs. F. J. Damn, Brockport,
N. r., writes: II can honestly say that
Chamberlain Liniment cured me of
lumbago year ago last summer.
When l began using it, | was flat on
my back in bed and could not turn to

OUR FARMERS WAKING UP

THERE is no doubt whatever that for
1 many years the farmers of this
state have been robbed by their city
consignees both in the grading and in
the quantity of their grain shipments.
At times these practices have been
nothing short Of outrageous.
Every other kind of business is thor
oughly organized for self-protection
and the mutual benefits of it's members.
But till recently there has been little OF
no concerted action upon the part Of
the millions of farmers, the most nu-
merous as we'll as the most important
class of all business men. Our Della.
ware farmers have long been at the
mercy of these predatory grain inspec-
tors and dealers.
But we are happy to announce that
new and better era is dawning upon our
long suffering farmers who will find in
their own co. operative action perfect
remedy for these grossly unjust prsc-
tees.
Besides this dishonest grading and
weighing the farmer has been further
robbed by spectators manipulating the
market and forming corners.
The Western farmers are now gen.
orally organized, and through co-ope.
rative associations of various kinds are
securing better and fairer grain prices
as we'll as just grading and weighing.
Delaware farmers are also at last
taking similar steps to protect them
selves. We quote below an account Of
the meeting held- in Middletown, Fri
day, the 22d of April.
"A joint meeting of the Farm
Bureau members of southern New
Castle County was held Friday night
in the Mlddletown School House for
the purpose of formulating plans
for the organization of farmers

citation with the thought of erecting

were present, it being the largest

held in New Castle County.

FRIDAY. JULY i. 1921.
A CREAMERY.

A meeting was held in the
Court House here Saturday last
for the purpose of discussing the
proposition of establishing a
creamery in this section.
At the present time we are not
prepared to say that the propo-
sition is practicical, since we
have not had an opportunity to
make a study of it, but the mat
ter appears to us as one that has
merit in it.
Agricultural conditions in this
section are such that our farm
ers must be looking to something
besides tobacco, out of which to
make money or, at least, bring
about better living conditions.
If market can be found for its
output, we believe a creamery is
aprOposition that farmers should
take hold Of and encourage. Be
sides the direct and ready finan-
cial remuneration they would re-
ceive, they would also be enabled
to enrich their farms, avoiding,
at the same time, the expense of
manufactured fertilizers.
Whether a creamery is started
or not, the farmers of this coun-
ty, unless they are willing to live
from hand to mouth, have got to
look to some other source Of rev
enue besides tobacco, and, as we
see it, the sooner they realize it,
the better.
One thing must be borne in
mind, however, that to make a
success of a creamery or any
other industry, there must be CO.
operation. Without cooperation
of all the farmers or, at least, 80
per cent. of them, little can be
accomplished. And, in this con
nection, we most frankly state
that in our judgment, lack of CO.
operation among our farmers has
eesae mere es a.e s- i the I5T0 Tss
of our people than anything else.
1t seems to be the attitude of
many, to use the slang expires
sion, to let George do it." There
is too great a lack of interest on
the part of number Of farmers
in all propositions that if taken
hold Of and encouraged, would
rebound to their interest.
Apparently, many are prone
to bide the time and wait for
others to start something, and
rather than support and encour.
age them to do so, knock and
pull them down, if they are
successful.
The time has come when the
farmers of this county must
wake up and realize that all must
come together, pull together and,
if need be, fight together, for
their mutual benefit and interest.
Let all~co-operate, and if a
creamery is a practical PROPOSE
ton, get behind it, to man; if
it proves not practical, start some
other industry that is, and will
take the place of commodities
which are no longer profitable.

THE BEES CAME, POURING OUT IN
\ CLOUD AND STCNG MRS. BEAR.
Then she went over and climbed up
~ the hollow part Buster had torn
open. She didn't really expect to
lind any honey left, but she took the
chance that there might be.
There wasn't That is. there was
only a taste. some bits of comb still
left cIinging to the inside of the
tree. Buster had made a thorough
job of it. But these scraps and the
strong smell of honey made her more
eager than ever for a feast of sweets.
So for the next two days she prowled
about through the Green Forest until
ihc cubs were almost too tired to
drag one foot after another. And
then she found what she was seek
ing.
1T was a tall, big stump Of u tree.
From a little hole near the top were
what looked like flies going back and
forth. They were not flies; they were
bees. Mother Bear stood up and
hooked 4, her claws into the stump.
Then she began to climb. Under her
weight that old tree rocked little.
Mrs. Bear paused. That tree wasn't
safe. 1t might fall. She looked down
at the ground. Then she looked up.
\ Htth honey was ooZing out from
a crack. That settled the matter. and
The bees came pouring out in a
cloud and stung Mrs. Bear. She
brushed them from her face with one
paw while she clung to the tree with
the other. She roared with the pain
of the stings, but she kept on. 1t
would take more than pain to keep
her from that honey.
And then it happened. The twins,
standing below. saw that tree begin
TO tip. There was q sharp, cracking
sound. The twins scurried to get out
Of the way. With a crash, down came
the tree. with Mrs. Bear still clinging
TO it. Was she hurt? Not a bit 1t
takes more than a fall to hurt bear.
it knocked the breath from her for a
minute. That was all.
AS n matterof fact, Mrs. Bear was
glad that tree fell as it did. You
see. when 1t struck the ground it split
q lot of hard work. There lay masses
of honeycomb. dripping with honey!
Mother Bear called the cubs. They
didn't have to be called twice. No.
sir, they didn't have to be called
twice. They gobbled that honey
comb, bees and all-like two little
pigs.
The bees stung them. Ny, how they
did sting them! But they only whined
and squealed. stopping their greedy
CobbunS only long enough to slap at
The bees and brush them away from
their faces. Their faces and coats
were soon smeared with sickness.
hut they minded this not at ALL They
were enjoying the greatest treat OF
their lives. And Mother Bear was
enjoying it as much. You see, there
was plenty for all.

Old Mother Nature.
Mother Bear, looking for the twins,
lcard them quarreling. and. of course
went straight to where they were
fighting over the scraps of honey
comb that fell from the tree in which
buster Bear was robbinG the bees
Of their store Of honey. She under
stood it all at n glance. She knew
u was useless to climb that tree ana
t~y to drive Buster away so that
she could get some of that honey
herself. so she cuffed the cubs, licked
up some honey that they had missed
while fighting, and led them away;
They didn't dare disobey, so tneE
went, but they whined and grumbied
and uuarreled with each other until
Mother Bear lost patience ana
spanked both. You see. they dldnt
want to leave that bee tree, even II
they were afraid of Buster Bear.
Now, the taste of honey that
Mother Bear had had awakened
great longing for more. Berries and
other good things had been so plenti-
fuI she hadn't thought Of honey, but
now she couldn't think of anything
else. She waited not far on until
she heard Buster Bear scramble
down from that tree and shuttle on.
