(How fast soul killing black winds

For the whispered word It grew and

Till the soul 1of youth lay crushed

II mattered little TO her who spoke,
A young, sweet life lay crushed and

II mattered not that the whisper
Was false ~ the angels east from

Still Taking In
| Club Members
One More Day to Join Newark
Country Club at Big Saving
Many Activities

Those people of Newark who have
not yet awaited themselves of the OPP
portunity to join the Newark Country
Club still have day in which to do
it. Not that the opportunity to join
the club will not again be offered but
until the first day of September all
persons joining the local club will not
have to pay the initiation fee. This is
big saving and already many per-
sons from this vicinity have Joined
the club under this plan.
Newark's Country Club stands Sec
ond only to Wilmington's, in Della
ware, and every day there are i'm
provements being made at the club.
In short time many persons figure
that Newark's Country Club will take
the lead among the clubs in the State.
At the present time there are sew
eral tournaments arranged for the
club members and with the growing
popularity of the club it would not be
surprising if tournament of an open
nature would not be arranged for the
Newark course.
The two tennis courts being con-
structed on the grounds are nearly
completed and two more will be added
in a short time. With the steady
growth of the club it is expected that
in short time the course will be in
creased from one of nine holes to
eighteen. The club owns plenty of
ground to make this addition and the
officials have already stated that
when the occasion for more room for
the course is needed this improvement
will be made. An eighteen hole course
on the local clubs site would make an
excellent one for open tournament
play.
Al Ginther, the local professional, is
meeting with much success at the
local club and has featured with his
playing in several of the biggest
tournaments held in and around
Philadelphia. Ginther's activities on
the foreign links as representative of
the Newark club has brought the club
in for much publicity and several out
of-towners have shot the course re-
Gently and termed it excellent.

Anglers Subscription
List Fast Filling
Still Time to Get Membership in
Booming Organization -
Excellent Prospects

Since the Newark's Anglers Asso-
citation has gotten down to real bust
ness and put their plans before the
public with the understanding that
things are really going to be made a
go of there has been rush of the
followers of Ike Walton to get into
the body.
Some of the officials of the associa-
ton announced today that in short
time the subscription will be filled and
then those who failed to take advant-
age of the opening will find them
selves on the "outside looking in" in
stead of the 'inside looking out" But
for those who really wish to get into
the body there is still time and any
member of the organization will take
subscriptions.
Work on the dam will be started in
very short time now and if the
weather is not bad the members ex-
pect to be ready for action in about
months time. Of course there will
not be any fish in such a short time
but the stocking of the "hole" will
take place. Already Pusey Morrison,
ice-president of the organization, has
made a trip to a fish hatchery at
Allentown, Pa, and there investigated
the buying of trout and other game
fish for the local association.
One man well known years ago as
fisherman said recently that if the
old Dayett Dam, as it was formerly
known, is brought back one half as
good as it used to be then the lovers
of fishing in the association will have
the best Fishing hole" in the State.
1t is just this thing that the organiza-
ton is aiming to do, have the best
fishing grounds in the State and no
stone is being left unturned to accom-
plish this.
The pond should provide an excel
lent place for ice skaters this winter
and many of the members who use
the steel blades are figuring on this
form of recreation as the first pleas
ure they will derive from the pond.
The association was incorporated
during the past week.

Unchallensed Freedom

President Harding is on absolutely sound
and unbeatable ground when he asserts the
right of free men to the protection of the
government in the exercise of their right to
engage in legitimate occupations.
''That same unchallenged freedom which
permits you and your associates to decline to
work is no less the heritage of the free Amer
lean who chooses to accept employment UNI
der the terms proposed. The difference be-
tween the two positions is that the striking
railroad workers exercise their rights of
freedom in seeking to hinder the necessary
transportation of the country, notwithstand-
ing the provision made by law for the con-
sideration of any just grievance, and the
striking miners seek to prevent the produc-
ton of coal necessary to common welfare,
Notwithstanding the offer of an agency to
make an impartial settlement, while the men
who choose to work in response to the call
of the country are exercising their like rights,
and at the same time are making their con-
tribution to our common American welfare"
There can be no doubt whatever that in
upholding the policy he enunciated in that
statement the American people will support
the President to the uttermost.

Profitable to Farmer

Probably never before in the his
tory of the State have so many far
mers erected stands in front of Their
homes and along the main highways
This is due in all probability to the
tact that the improved roads Of TO-
day are travelled by thousands daily
and that the fruit and vegetable crops
this year are unusually large.
The man with the automoblle u
finding these stands quite prohtaoT
for he is not only assured of getting
fresh fruit and produce, but he alS0
is able to buy these items at saw
ing over the city prices. -,
This saving is brought about due
the fact that the farmer does not nav
to transport his produce and 1lul'
sell it in this manner. l..
There are many Of these s''ns
right around Newark and one lains,
who has a stand in the Wimlng!Svs

In talk before gathering of
farmers at Leesburg, Virginia, Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace gave
an exposition of the present strike
situation from the standpoint of agri-
cultural interests. Secretary Wallace
first compared the relative buying
power of wages in the mining and
railroad industry for the years 1913
and 1921. Upon this subject he said:
"It is worth while to compare
wages in the organized industries
with the wages received by the far
mer, as represented in the price he
gets for the things he grows. The
value of income, whether it be in the
form of wages or of money received
for sales of products, is represented
not in dollars and cents but in what
that income will buy by it's purchas-
ing power.
Farm Prices and Miners Wages
"Take the average wage received
by the coal miner for mining a ton
of coal. In 1918 this wage per ton
would buy IL bushels of corn in Iowa;
in 1921 it would buy 2.5 bushels Of
corn in Iowa. In 1918 the ton wage
would buy Z of bushel of wheat in
North Dakota; in 1921 8 of a bushel
In 1918 it would buy Al pounds of
cotton in Texas; in 1921, 8.5 pounds,
In 1918 pounds of hog in Nebraska;
in 1921 ID pounds. In 1918, 8 Of a
bushel of potatoes in New York; in
1921, IL bushel. In 1913, II pounds
of sheep in Wyoming; in 1921, Is
pounds. In 1918, 1.6 bushels Of oats
in Illinois; in 1921, 81 bushels. In
1918, "a pounds of butter in Mis-
souri,; in 1921, 80 pounds.
Farm Prices and r. r. Wages
"Taking the average yearly earn
ings of railroad employees, we find
that in 1918 the yearly wage would
buy 1892 bushels of corn in Iowa, and
in 1921, 1112 bushels. 1t would buy
1923 bushels of wheat in North Da-
kota in 1918; in 1921, 1866 bushels
In 1918 it would buy 6449 pounds of
cotton in Texas; and in 1921, 1884
pounds. 1t would buy in 1918, 102
hundred weight of hogs in Nebraska;
and in 1921, 237 hundred weight. II
would buy las hundred weight OF
sheep in Wyoming in 1918; and in
1921, 296 hundred weight. In 1913
it would buy 1887 bushels of potatoes

. Fezger SzgiveI Chairs

Departments at Washington are announc-
ing big clearance sales of swivel chairs. This
is good Republican argument. The last adj
ministration purchased more swlvels (they
go round in such restful circes) than any in
History.
"Ah but the War;" says some Democrat
twas the reason
Yes that is true, but it is also true that
" some of the largest purchases were made
after the war was over.
Fewer swivel chairs is the great need of
America-and Harding is selling them at re-
duced prices. 1t saves salaries, saves rent,
reduces overhead and indirectly increases
production.
Fewer swivel chairs means fuller dinner
pals" Fewer swivel chairs means Peace and
Prosperity - one time synonymous terms:
Why not. again?

Farmers Did Not Strike

Continuing Secretary Wallace drew
the moral that while the farming in
terests of the country during the year
of 1921 faces the most discouraging
conditions they have experienced in
over generation, conditions which
brought thousands of them bankrupt
cy, yet they at no time talked of
striking or advocated violence or dis
order. They confined their efforts at
relief to the legitimate, lawful chan
nels of public opinion and public legis-
lation.
"The farmer believes in law and
ORDER" said Secretary Wallace. "He
believes in government. He believes
in fairness between man and man,
He believes in working hard and pro-
ducing efficiently" Secretary Wal
lace said:
"The farmers have endeavored to
get relief by all lawful means. They
have appealed to the administration,
to Congress and to every other agency
which they thought might be able to
help them, but while making these eff
forts to avoid their heavy losses they
have not struck. They have not Gre
ated disorders. They have kept on
producing and in the face of extraor-
dinarily low prices have this year
grown one of the largest crops in our

cotton, butter, or other farm products
get to the consumers table, a good
deal has been added to the price the
farmer receives. This margin be-
tween the farmer and the consumer
has considerably increased during the
past eight years, but it is also fair to
note that a good deal of this increase
has been due to the increase in the
wages paid the people who handle
these products. What these figures
show is that the wages of the farmer,
as represented by the prices paid for
his crops, are lower than his wages
We're before the war, measured in
purchasing power, while the wages
of the workman, and, especially in or
ganized industries, are considerably
higher than they were before the war,
whether measured in dollars and
cents or in purchasing power. The
purchasing power of the wages of the
railway employee in 1921 was 81 per
chasing power of the wages of the
cent greater than in 1913. The pur-
coal miner in 1921 was 80 per cent
greater than in 1918. The purchas-
ing power Of the farm hand who
works for wages in 1921 was per
cen tless than 1918, while the pur-
chasing power of the farmer himself
was, on an average, from 25 to 45
per cent less than in 1913"
