Blue Hen Cook Book

The Post acknowledges with appreciation
''The Blue Hens Chickens Cook Book" re-
Gently issued by the Milford Chronicle. These
recipes were gathered by the ladies of The
Milford New Century Club and this volume
is second edition issued by the Chronicle.
"These recipes Uhich ttckled the
palates of the Colonial planters and their
Uisitors, and first earned for the Penin-
sula its fame for the highest Development
IN the art of cooking, hare descended to
the heirs * and are as highly priced
as their old family plate and Colonial
fu1niture.'
To better perpetuate them with other lore
and glories of yesterday is the idea Of the
publishers. A book of over hundred pages,
bound in buff board and imprinted in blue,
it is an interesting piece of printing. And
for those who have enjoyed the hospitality
of the Peninsula board, it is both delight
and yearning.

ESOP OF KELLS
Writes Of Political Elk and
BuHaloes

Animals have always been used as
illustrative Of life and literature.
The ancient Easterner made use of
the beasts as illustrative Of religious
teachings. Esop used animals and
their habits to teach the morals found
in his fables. The Greek dramatists
used them. Rostand in his Chant-
cleer took the barnyard fowl to tell
his wonderful story interpreting
modern life.
In America we find the same ten
dencies. During the Revolution, a
battle flag carried snake design
with the legend, Don't tread on me-"
In political life, the Democratic party
is interpreted by the Tiger of Tam
many or speaking nationally by the
Jackass; the Republican is illustrated
by the Elephant or Bull Moose.
Locally in Delaware, other animals
are being made prominent in public
life. Senator du Pont gained promi-
nence by his presentation of a herd of
Elk to the Zoo in Wilmington. Now,
not to be outdone, Senator Ball an
nounces the presentation of Buffalo.
1t is rumored that Congressman Lay
ton is trying to get his opponents
Goat. This completes the Delaware
delegation. With the approach of the
campaign other gift announcements
are expected. The bat and the dove,
the fox and the hare, the owl and
cat-bird, the hound and collie-all
have political champions in Politics

Job Seeking Us. Delay

Personally, the appointment of the In
ternal Revenue Collector, Wilmington Post
master or any other Federal position, con-
Germs us not at all. So far as we are interest
ed we are satisfied with the present oc-
cupants. But as citizen, jealous of the
States interest, as Republican interested in
the partys service, we are concerned These
positions are now occupied by hold-overs and
should be filled by men approved by the Della
ware delegation at Washington and the party
they represent. Efficient they may or may
not be in their congressional duties, they are
certainly negligent in this phase of their
work.. Understand, we have but scant pa
tience with the Senator or Congressman
whose activities are confined to Job and Place
Seeking. Political-F Fence Building is not our
idea of congressional work. Nor have we
much patience with holding up appointments
for personal political purposes. It is placing
personal position and vantage before party
success and plain duty.
We are making no accusation of who is to
blame for this fencing. We do not know But
if rumor and appearances be evidence that
delay is being made to be used later in cam
paign strategy-then we are concerned seri-
ously both from party standpoint and as q
citizen. Just so sure as this is done, there
will be trouble. The delegation from Della
ware is being watched by the ordinary voter
more than usual. The party and those repre-
senting it, will gain or suffer according to the
reaction of that voter. Just now it is one of
serious inquiry.

Farmer Leaves DelazVare

Readers of the Every Evening, and they
are increasing out Newark way, newspaper
men and all who have met him personally
regret to hear that Charles B. Farmer is
leaving the Editorial Desk Of our Whining
ton contemporary Mr.. Farmer came about
a year ago and in that time has won the de-
light and interest of hosts of newspaper
readers. He writes we'll. Fearless, firm of
conviction, human, and with touch of
humor, we feel when reading him that here
is man writing but not taking himself so
seriously as to dull a story. He knows men
at glance He is analytical, finding good,
picking flaws with camera precision, but
withal making his characters live. He ''got
on to us quickly and seems to like us, but
goodnaturedly strips us Of our localisms.
At the Arms Conference, his work at
tracted national attention. His Mirrors of
Men and Interpretation of events are prob
ably Immediately responsible for this new
honor and opportunity. Mr.. Metten, pub
Usher of the Every Evening has found in
Mr.. Farmer the man to express his ideals of
Journalism. The policy of the paper, while
we are politically opposed, grows in influence
due, we think, to the development of definite
policy without the semblance of personal in
fuence or control. Principles of party rather
than personalities dominate it's political writ
ings. This apparently has been the ambition
of the publisher and the retiring editor has
effectively assisted.
Mr.. Farmer leaves next week for the
international News and in short time will
be assigned to foreign service
Regrets mingle with our congratulations
We shall watch with interest this lover and
writer of men.

Wa.Way-Anda

WG-1OGy-GfdG is an ola lnulan worn
meaning Just Beyond. At our old home out
in Pencader Hundred at the foot of Iron Hill,
there was an interesting legend naming it
Wa-way-anda. It was a camping ground Tor
the Indians coming down the Delaware and
Brandywine for the Spring fishing on the
Susquehanna According to the story they
were wont to stop here for the night. To-
morrow, over the Hill to the Susquehanna-
Just Beyond, the Wa-wayanda.
Last week The Post rounded out its first
twelve years. Our aims and ambitions ex-
pressed in our first issue reprinted in Section
2, page /, have grown. Our Ideals are Just
Beyond Twelve interesting years! And
they have been interesting. To have lived
and have been a part of it all, however modest
and insignificant has been truly worth while.
Friends old and new, enemies old and ac-
quired-all have been wonderful. Failures
made, some success achieved, have made life
JOY There has been some growth of which
our expression of Pride may be excused by
Fact To grow from the little four page
sheet, printed in Elkton, to our original plant
on Main Street. then to grow and develop
into our shop at Kels out here in the country,
has been interesting to US and we hope
beneficial to the community We went
through the war with all its stress. When
called away from our desk, the boys and
girls at Kells, held on and continued its
growth to welcome us on our return But yes
terday is crowded only with Memories. To-
day is ours and Tomorrow ours to be.
The Post has never attempted sensation
it i'll becomes Newark. We have tried
to print what Newark, at its best is and de-
Sires to be. SO we do not issue any special or
anniversary edition in recognition of the day
But go quietly, simply and determinedly on
our way in keeping with our past and in SYM
pathy with the life of the people with whom
we live and associate. Financial considera-
tions have made us conservative. The Post
is not our Ideal of newspaper or what New
ark deserves to have. But-finance. We
know the thrill and strain of looking Pay
roll in the Face and not finch or seek
"angelic cover"
Today we pause just moment at Va
aUay-anda. Tomorrow over the Hill in search
for our Ideal which, with each anniversary
and setting sun lies-Just Beyond. The hills
of White Clay and Pencader reflect many
happy days agone We have had lots of fun.
Life at kells is fun
So thanks Kind Friends for your support.
Without it, Defeat would have crushed us.
Congratulations dear Enemies for your in
ceptive Without you, Conscience and Truth
would have had no challenge. To have been
understood and misunderstood is Life to it's

Our Idea and Ideals are Just Beyond.
