Superintendent Shanner gave a
very interesting talk in assembly
last Friday. He gave various ex-
reriences of his on the trip to
Boulder and several stories of col
lege life. He stated that Tommy
McGlashen, graduate of Holly
High, had won his college letter in
the wrestling tournament. Mr.. Nc
Glashen defeated three out of -four
opponents.
The wind this week proved dir-
astrous to the agricultural hotbed.
Almost all of the glass was broken.
This week ends the fifth six week
of school. The students are vainly
irving to conquer the six week test
with great success.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

1t is probably the case that there
are many things in our town tina,
could be improved upon. If it were
not for the need of improvements we
could not put to use the energy of q
few of our real citizens. However
our town will size up pretty favor
ably with any other town its size and
1t makes a man feel anything blu,
peaceful to hear some of the men
who have lived here practically all
their lives, and who have received any
amount of benefits from contact with
the community continually comparing
this town unfavorabiy with neighbor-
ing towns.
There may be and undoubtedly
are, advantages in neighboring towns
which we do not have. All well and
good. Then we have a goal already
set for us to work toward. But these
citizens should also real
lie that there are many advantages
we have which other towns do not.

hats the point for him to work on.

days the way they do now. We hav,
several old pictures of our ancestors
They were so sensible CD In those
times the girls wore hoops that were
in many instances, twelve feet il
circumference. Our great grandmoth.
ers made their own hoops out OF
grapevines. The dear ladies were
human perampulating circus tents
When entering an ordinary door they
had to use both hands to compress
the hoops before they could enter.
Extreme caution had to be exer-
cised when they sat down or there
would be 'flare-up' and embarass-
ment followed.
IF you really want to know how
the dear creatures looked In those
good old days, open an umbrella, saw
the handle off and stick an apple on
the point projecting from the top.
Then stand off and view the replica of
we grande old dame as she wendell
her way to church on a Sabbath day
"Those old time girls were peaches,
all right, but our present day lassies
are sweetened peaches and cream"
Readers Of the Iberian might like
to know what the Editor of this pa
per has to say on the subject, but like
the Dutchman, captured by bunch
of American soldiers, he'll say: 'Tm
neutral"
In the first place, we newspaper
fellows are strong believers in adj
vertising, and if the Dear Girls want
to advertise their charms by the
display method" no advertising man
can object. And being just "mere
man." we may reserve the right to
look; but we'll not express an opin-
ion.

Just A Matter of Time.

We hear a lot Of comment nov
days on the style of dress worn BY
our Fair Sex.
Many of the "Old Timers" speal
with regret of the passing of the
"good old days" with their sensible
beautiful styles.
There are others who defend the
new manner of dress, and point out
its points Of superiority.
Perhaps no one hears both sides OF
every question as does newspaper
publisher, reading his exchanges from
all over the country every day.
In the matter of feminine attire
we noticed two widely differing views
in one days mail, which we pass a
long to our readers.

THE FORGOTTEN BUDGET.

The President sent yesterday TO the
Speaker of the House some revised
estimates of Federal expenditures for
the coming fiscal year. This action
is a reminder OF the fact that Con-
gress is now supposed TO operate under
a Federal budget. Passing OF the leg-
isiation 10 effect this has been de-
scribed by Republicans as one of the
monumental achievements of the
new Administration. Yet the pending
Tax bin has been taken up and debated
and torn TO pieces and patched up
again just as II there were no such
things as a Federal budget. The Sena
ate, to be sure, has had rough and
approximate notion--changing from
week TO week--of how much money
will be needed TO carry on the Gov
ernment. but by waiting a little 1t

BY Dec. it is made the duty of the
Administration, or the Director of the

FILLED MILK.

The desperate determination OF those
who have long sought 70 destroy the
"hlled milk" industry by Federal legis-
lation In illustrated In the bill recom-
mended by the House agricultural
committee, as substitute for one
presented earlier In the session whlcn
would have declared the product ii
violation OF the Pure Food law. And
In case the second measure should
prove unacceptable TO intelligent law
makers, third ha~ been introduced
which would impose taxes on filled milk
heavy enough to drive II out of the
market.
Filled milk is skinned milk with
vegetable fats added to make up for
the natural butter fats. 1t IL put up
IN cans. and ordinarily sold for cuiin.
AIRY purposes, not infant feeding. II
Is. OF course, always properly labelled
| for what 1t is, In accordance with ma
tional and State food regulations.
AS a wholesome and honestly dis
tiihuted food product no objection car
possibly be made to this milk com.
pound on grounds either Of the public
health or such as relate to fraudulent
trade practices. The only charge thai
can be brought against Il Is that &
competes with whole milk by sellinl
OF lower price. The opposition 10 IL
az reflected I'm the various bills attack
ing the industry. Is simply that of on
class of business appealing TO havi

GETTING ACQUAINTED.

Tho Wholesale business members Of

tile department have arranged for
visit To Dover and Milford, next
week, with view to getting acquainted
with the people especially the mer-
chants. OF those thriving and charms
ing Delaware towns. The visits win
be OF a social nature. but it is not
denied that they have practical
business element. And this element,
there is no doubt. if made effective.
win be mutually beneficial.
For many years there seemed to be
n barrier against general business and
social intercourse between the city of
wilmiugton and the rest OF the state.
but gradually that barrier is disap-
pearing. There is far less evidence
in outside Delaware OF the former
jealousy OF Wilmington, and there
is far larger knowledge among WI
mington people of what the state
outside or their city really is like
And the revelations of this growine
understanding and intercourse ar,
mutually agreeable and productive Of
practical results
