Shut the door. Lock it Bolt it |!
Why? Burglars? No. Sleep? No.
Going to look at yourself in the mirror?
Not exactly. Then, why all this elab-
crate secrecy? Because you are about
to enjoy the greatest of all joys, the
most sacred of all pleasures
munion with God. "And when thou
hast shut the door, pray to thy Father
which is In Secret: and thy Father
which seeth In Secret shall reward thee
openly" The shut door is not an un-
important factor in our prayer-life 1t
means withdrawal. insulation from the
distractions of the busy world, favor
able chance for God to speak and be
heard. To keep Lent is to "shut the
door" into many an accustomed room of
worldly living that we may turn and
knock on that secret mystical door into
the heavenly places of which our
Saviour said. KNOCK and it shall be
opened unto you."
The last half of Lent. The remain
ing portion of the Lenten season will
include the solemn days of Holy Week,
when the story of the Passion and its
incalcuable results in the way of bless
ing for mankind are kept prominently
before the minds of ALL Its events
touch the sympathetic cord in every
human heart. The story of Gethsemane
and Calvary has caused the most pas
sionate devotion for nearly 20 centuries.
1t is the theme of universal interest be-
cause it tells of the greatest degree in
which love can be manifested "that
man lay down his life for his friends. !"
The sufferings of Christ tell the sweet
est story of devotion human ear ever
heard. ''Jesus died for me. to mani
fest His love-" All this have | done
for thee, what doest Thou for Me?

Use CERTIFIED SEED
Farm Bureau Orders 300 Bushels
For Planting
FIVE VARIETIES ARE SECURED

The farmers of New Castle County
are realizing that disease is one of the
limiting factors in the yield of the po-
tato crop. The Plant Pathology De-
partment Of the University of Della
ware emphatically emphasizes the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation confronting
the potato growers.
To expedite this situation the men,
bers of the New Castle County Farm
Bureau have pooled an order for 300
bushels of certified seed potatoes. This
pool is in charge of the following COM
mittee: Frank f. Yearsley, Marshallton;
C. P. Dickey, Stanton and Frank Sill
YER, Bear. The potatoes will arrive at
Stanton and will! be distributed by c. P.
Dickey. This order has been placed
with the Seed Potato Growers Associa-
ton of New York. The potatoes are
of the Rural Russell and the Green
Mountain varieties. These varieties
have produced gratifying results in the
County demonstrations.
Certified seed potatoes are potatoes
that have been inspected three times
during the year by State officials and
have passed certain standards for free
dom from disease. 1t is appreciated
that in addition to freedom from dis
ease that seed potatoes must have Ger
tain yielding qualities. The committee
has been mindful of this and has order
ed the seed from high yielding strains.
County Agent r. .. Bausman has Sc
cured limited quantities of certified
seed of five recognized varieties from
the north with which he will conduct
demonstrations during the coming sea
son. The potatoes will be placed with
farmers without cost and will be grown
under Mr.. Bausman directions. These
potatoes are of the following varieties: ::
Sir Walter Raleigh, Green Mountain,
New Jersey Irish Cobbler. Prince Ed
