DIR. r. w. COOPER
TALKS ON 'BOYS"

DR.. Richard W. Cooper, educational
director of the Service Citizens of
Delaware, was the speaker at re-
cent MONDAY luncheon-meeting OF the
Rotary Club, in Hotel DUPONT. His
subject was Boys" being in keeping
with the clubs plans for an education
al campaign of boys between II and
21. DR.. Cooper said in part:
'What the boys need is chance to
do things for themselves. The boy
of IA insists upon being his own mas
ter, and largely educates himself. 1t
is a fallacy to think that they can be
licked into shape. They take shape
of their own violition. The only good
the Ticking does a boy is the loving
he gets afterwards, which often ser
YES to bring him and his parents clos
er together.
"The world today exists on whole
for those under 25. The rest of us are
here to help them. The thoughts,
hopes and wishes of boys Of this age
can never be entirely erased. They
may keep them forever"
DR.. Cooper congratulated the Rotary
Club on it's proposed campaign among
boys in Wilmington. See That they
have a right to play, and see that they
are educated outside the schools in
the right manner" he advised the
members.
Previous to DR.. Cooper's address,
Paul Carpenter rendered several vio-
lin selections, accompanied by Mrs.
Franz Kurshan. The club gave them
a rising vote of thanks. Singing by
the members was led by William P.
White. Frank Mason sang, accom-
panied by the club.

WHEN TO PLANT SWEET CORN
Seed Should Not Be sown Until
Ground Is Warm and No
Danger From Frost.

Sweet corn should be planted on rich
land and cultivated the same as field
corn. Plant the seed as soon as the
soil is warm in the spring, and make
successive paintings every two or three
weeks until late summer. The same
results can be obtained to some extent
by planting early, medium and late
varieties. Plant the seeds about two
inches deep in drills three feet apart
and thin to a single stalk every 10 to
IA inches.
Sweet corn, when grown in the
South, passes so quickly from the milk
to the dough stage that care should
be exercised to gather the crop just at
the right time, in order to secure the
most satisfactory results. The flavor
of sweet corn depends upon it's stage

Corn in the Home Garden.

Of maturity and the method Of han
ding the product from the plant to
the table. Sweet corn loses its sugar
content very rapidly after being re-
moved from the stalk. 1t should,
therefore, be picked only a few hours,
and preferably a few minutes, in ad-
vance of the time when it is to be
placed in the pot.
Varieties recommended: For early
corn Golden Bantam and Adams
Early are suggested, and for medium
and late varieties Black Mexican or
White Mexican, Country Gentleman
and Stowell's Evergreen. The last
named variety has the largest ears and
is the most prOductive.-United

SOME BASEBALL FUN.HITS

The baseball season is in full
swing again with players alert and
fans enthusiastic. Is it a popular
sport? Ask Dad, he knows. He'll tell
you that it has been the national game
ever since 1845 when the Knicker-
booker Club of New York City started
the worlds first organized baseball
club. Six years previous, the diamond
had been mapped out on paper by one
Abner Doubleday. If Uncle Abner
could only see the modern evolution
of his diamond by visiting a big
league park, he would indeed exclaim,
Gosh Darn!" or "Holy Hemlock!" 3"
And, he'd get another thrill, or two,
or three when he heard the fans en-
courage the players with their lingo
of latest baseball parlance. With the
popularity of baseball in the sporting
columns of our newspapers it is only
natural that jokes on the national
game should be hit in those popu-
lar Topics of the Day" Films. Per-
haps you can not always get time off
to attend the game but you can enjoy
a few minutes of baseball fun right
here in this column.

CLEAN UP,
PAINT UP AND
LOOK UP

If every town in the South
would initiate most of the towns
of Florida, the South would be-
come noted throughout the
world for the beauty and charm
and cleanliness of its towns.
Cleanliness, it has been said,
is next to Goodness. A dirty
individual is neither clean sPir-
itually nor mentally. Dirt makes
for ruin, physically, mentally,
morally. This is as true of a
town as of an individual. The
dirty town, the town full of
rubbish, of untidy houses, of
muddy streets, of insanitary
conditions, is non-progressive
materially, morally and educa-
tionally. Neither moral nor
material advancement flourish
in dirty, unkempt dwellings or
in unkempt towns.
If any town or city is am
bilious for advancement, or it
even a few of ito men and wom-
en- are ready to devote their
time and energy to the better
ment of the community, the sur
est way to achieve success is to
clean up-make back yards and
front yards clean, make streets
clean and keep them clean, en-
COURAGE the people, white and
black alike, to beautify their
homes and their yards, stimu-
late a love for and a pride in
their homes and in their towns,
repair the tumble-down yard
fences, paint up, make things
as clean outside as they should
be inside, and then that COM
munity will look up mentally
morally and materially.
No community which does not
clean up and paint up, which
does not do its best to have
clean streets and clean yards,
has any right to look up and
face the world.
"A cheap coat, sara
dent Harrison, makes a cheap
man" In the same way 1t
might be said a dirty town
makes a dirty people; a dirty
people makes moral and mate {
rial dirt and decay. 1t is the
duty of all men and women to
make their homes and their
home towns just as clean and
attractive and beautiful as pos I
sible. lie who falls short in
this respect falls short of his
duty to God and man, it MAJ
tiers not what else he may do.
