Speaking of the slogan Buying at
Home" and every wide-awake town
and city, is a booster of this slogan,
Mr.. Rigby, of the firm Purity Baking
Co., of Smyrna, is a great believer in
it. "Buy at home," he says, "keep
your money circulated in your own
community, help business and also
help employment" He says, "there
are number of very fine store in
Smyrna which should be appreciated.
Let our people show a proper pride
and interest. They can aid these
stores and the community as we'll by
doing their dealing in their own home
town. 1t is a weIl-known fact that
big cities and towns make a special bid
to their people to buy at home and will
go further and say they will engage
only their own town people in theil
store and business places" So lei
Smyrna get in line and boost the idea
of buying at home and make this theil
slogan. Good results are sure to ac.
crue.

More Prosperous Year Looked For
ward to as Wages Take Decline
Blackbird, Jan. 17-Farmers in this
vicinity are looking forward to a pros
porous year and it is believed that at
the public sales on farms prices for
stock and implements will be higher
than for two years. Ever since before
the war farmers have not been able to
make proper repairs to their buildings,
fences and hedge rows due to the
scarcity of labor and the high prices
demanded for wages and needed sup
plies. The result has been that some
of the best farms have become rather
"run down" in appearance. This win
ter the situation is different and plen-
ty of farm labor can be secured at
greatly reduced wages, many families
being entirely out of work. Buildings
are being repaired, fences put In shape
and wild growth removed in order to
make work for the unemployed. Farm
wages, formerly from thirty to forty

The terrapin industry in Delaware
has again been revamped following
the recent death at Seaford of Hiram
Williams, the "terrapin king" The
latter, says the Wilmington Every
Evening "knew when the terrapin
were at their very best, and those he
marketed were always prime and
brought Delaware further into promi-
nence as the home of good table sup
plies. He sold some of his latter-day
catches for as much as one hundred
dollars a dozen, one is told, which re-
calls that in his early days as hunter
he must have been glad to have sold
two or three hundred for that sum.
''They were relatively as plentiful in
Delaware as the crabs that formerly
swarmed in the marshes and water
ways of the lower counties, which, 700,
were the best to be obtained anywhere,
but like their neighbor the terrapin,
they have become so scarce that it is
safe to predict their total extinction
within the next half century unless
preservative measures are adopted
and enforced.
"We go on and on consuming and
destroying such precious food as The
terrapin, or the crab, or the oyster
without giving more than a passing
thought of their propagation, or tC
averting their extinction. What Z
cause of regret it is that with all Of
our formerly unsurpassed and seem
ingly inexhaustible natural resources
they are becoming scarcer and scarcer
until we may soon reach the end o.
these delicacies almost with the pres
ent generation, and our fine breeding
grounds for these creatures will b.
untenanted. Then the State will real
ize that it neglected the opportunit.

In his opening address at the con-
ventiOn of the National Gamers AS
sociation being held at Louisville Pres
ident Strassbaugh, of Aberdeen, Md,
declared that the industry is being i'm
peded by high freight rates, produc-
tion and consumption alike being re-
tarded. Some idea of the Importance
of this convention may be gathered
from the fact that 4500 persons con-
nected with canning are present. The
industry cannot function normally,
says Mr.. Strassbaugh, until railway
charges come down. The value of the
canned products in 1919 was $SOO,OOO,-
900, or about one-fourth of the value
of a wheat crop. From this compari-
son it can be readily seen that the in
dustry is large and important and the
Delmarvia peninsula is one of its prin-
cipal centers. The seasons for the last
few years have been unsatisfactory
both for the Gamers and the farmers,
so much so that acreages have been
cut down and many factories between
the bays have not been running at all.
The flew of Mr.. Strassbaugh should
command serious attention. Many
other leaders in industry have declar-
ed that there can be no permanent re-
vival until the railway charges are re-
duced and some railway executives
have agreed to this while others have
contended that no reduction is possi-
BILE at this time.
One trouble in industry has been
that the decline in costs and in prices
has not been uniform. In some in
stances there has been no drop at all,
or a drop hardly worth mentioning,
while in other cases as in the price the
farmer gets for his grain there has
been tremendous decline.
The outlook therefore for the pack
ing interests in Delaware and on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland is not very
bright. The sooner railway charges
are reduced the better for all concern
ed. But the coming down also in
wolves lessening of the costs of oper-
alton of the lines and the roads have
had a hard time to lower these costs.

colored population did use it as a ta-
BILE dish. In the past the meat was
thrown away in large quantities, while
the bodies are today bringing from Is
to 20 cents each, according to size.
The industry has also enhanced the
value of marsh lands on both shores.
Land for which no other use could 6e
found now commands a good figue, due
to the industry's development. Many
are of the opinion that raising musk
rats on a large scale might bring the
farmer a large return.

MUSKRAT INDUSTRY GROWING
Source of Profit for Owners of What
Were Once Thought Useless Marshes

Source of Profit for Owners of What
Were Once Thought Useless Marshes
One product of Delaware and the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, which re-
fuses to bow to the general business
depression is the muskrat, whose pelts
since the opening of the season, on
January l, have brought from $1.50 to
$1.65 each at the traps, which the
dealers maintain is very good price.
This industry has been known in the
past to mount we'll up into the thou
sands of dollars, especially during the
war, when pelts sold as high as $4
each. Just how plentiful these ami
mails will be this season is uncertain
yet. One dOwn-state dealer says:
"Once the despised rodent of the
marshes, selling for a mere song, is
today recognized as the most impor-
tant of American fur-bearing animals,
and thereby the pursuit of the little
animal has been stimulated, with the
result that its numbers nearly every
where are diminishing" The condi-
tion is said to be somewhat similar to
the case of Wisconsin, where in 1917
trappers took more than 100000
muskrats; in 1918 they took fewer
than 100000 and in 1919 only about
100000. Since being grouped with the
seal and other precious fur-bearing
ANIMALS it is gaining protection
against the invasion of pot hunters
and other marauders. Coats of musk
rat, which take on the trade name of
seal, are said to bring $40O and $4,000
in the market, almost twice as much
as real seal garments could be bought
for twenty-five years ago. Years ago
the muskrat was not considered fit for
food for the table although its char
teristics are said to be the cleanest of
any known animal. White people re-
fused to eat the food, although the
