Mr.. HOLLAND VOICES HIS AP-
PROBATION OF SEN. DU POINT

] Mr. Joseph e. Holland member of the
State Highway Department and an en-
thusiastic good roads boaster, sent to hi:
friends for the holiday, a folder entitled
"An Appreciation" which conveyed his
sentiments on the efforts of Senator T
Coleman du Pont to promote better
roads in the Diamond State. On one page
of the folder was verses which had been
sent out by the State Highway Depart
ment. These follow:
Whereas and Be 1t Resolved
when we plow through the mud, after
heavy rains,
And the auto bumps, and grinds, and
strains,
We think of smooth and hard-surfaced
roads
Where cars glide along with heavy loads.
We also think of one determined man
Who stuck with courage and grit to a
plan,
Never halted a whit through slander and
taunt-
We praise the name of Coleman du Pont
We're pleased to have this word to say
For the man, as well as the benefcient
way
He has helped our State, with no selfish
trace,
And made for us all much better
place.
To the above verses Mr.. Hallond made
answer, with verses written by himself,
as follows:
T. Coleman du Pont
An Appreciation
Why shouldn't we write in letters big
On every tree and bush and twig,
The splendid things this man has done,
For you, for me, for everyone!
He's built a road-hundred miles and
more
In length-from "Brandywine to Bal
timOre."
He's built it long. He's built it fast.
He's built it strong, so it will last
For years to come, "in spite of rains
In spite of mud, in spite of strains"
1t millions cost. But what cares he
For millions spent, if millions be
The better way his State to serve,
Her name uphold, her wealth conserve!
Then why not laud and shout his name!
Why not his work and worth proclaim!
He's done the work-a work sublime,
He's made life's hill less hard to
climb.
For now we have much better roads,
And better roads mean lighter loads,
And lighter loads mean less of tears,
And less of strains and less OF fears,
And more of hope, and more of smiles,
And more of all that is worth while
Mr.. Holland has been the recipient of
numerous letter from prominent Demo-
rats and Republicans throughout the
State, congratulating him on the senti-
nents expressed in his folder.

the call for all goods, with the exception
of those required for the holidays.
7 Conflicting tendencies are again ex-
hibited by statistics indicative Of general
conditions. The untitled orders of the
United States Steel Corporation were A.
25O,54 tons on November 3O,-a decrease
Of SO, 287 tons, as compared with those
on October 81, and less than one half of
those on hand November 80, 1920. How
ever, both pig iron and steel ingot pro-
duction increased. In fact, pig iron pro-
duction during November. AIS, ,4S1 tons
was larger than that of any month
since March. Steel ingot production dur
ing November,-1, ,660,001 tons-was the
largest since February The estimated
cost of building permits issued in the
Third Federal Reserve District during
November was $9.29O.556. a decrease of
AZ per cent as compared with the cost
of those issued in October. It should be
noted in this connection that although a
large number of permits have been is
sued, but little actual construction is be-
ing done, owing to the approach of win
ter and to the uncertainty as to costs of
building materials and labor Too much
attention cannot be directed to the fact
that the number of commercial failures
in the United States, and especially in
this district, has been rapidly increasing.
There were 1O2 failures of over $4,000 in
the Third Federal Reserve District in No
vember, II in October, and 60 in Septem-
ber, as reported by r. G. Dun & Com
pany. In the country as a whole there
were 1856 failures in September, 1913 in
October and, 1888 in November.
Distinctly encouraging as measuring
the volume of business transacted in the
United States are the figures showing
debts to individual accounts. The aver
age debit in the country as a whole for
the four weeks ending December IA, was
S8, III, 1T, as compared with s7,7O1,7 ,789 |
for the same period ending November 16. |
For the Third Federal Reserve District |
the respective figures were $S71,61S and |
1851, ,9O1. Then, too, the volume of new
securities issued in November was more
han twice the volume issued in October.
The wholesale commodity price index
number have changed but slightly. The
number fell from 1854 in
October to 11.3127 in November The Dun
ndex, however, continued it's upward
rend, the number for October being
S3. 665 and that for November, 164,5S
rhe index number of the Bureau Of La
,or Statistics again declined, the num-
)er for October being 1870, compared
With $50 for October and 152 for Septem-
'er.

FISHING ON THE OLD MILL POND


An episode in a spirit of levity on
''Fishing on the Old Mill Pond" near
Frederica. Kent County, Delaware:
By John B. Cook

To beat each other was our intent,
We baited our hooks as fishermen do,
But the man in the stern caught thily-

The fishing began at early dawn;
At 6:23 a fish came along.
We weedled with our lines, the fish made
a turn,
For the men in the boat, the man in the
stern. (sure did).
It nibbled and nibbled. then, o. what

But the man at the stern caught "fshy''

He needs great patience, skill and care;
He must place the hooks where the fishes
are,
They will look at the trappings with
look and a grin,
But the man in the stern just pulls them

Whether fishing with nook or fishing with

If you're out for the fish and for victory
yearn,
Take precious advice and sit in the stern.

That's where sit, and I always do,
And I catch the fish enough for two.
They say I am lucky, but the word

The reason is patent, sat in the stern.

The secret in fishing is how we begin.

SOME WAR TAXES GONE
REMOVAL OF WAR TAX ON
EXPRESS SHIPMENTS
WIcL BENEFIT PUBLIC

The public will save approximately ST.,
100000 a month as a result of the elimi-
nation of the war tax on express ship
ments, according to George c. Taylor
President of the American Railway Elk
press Co. An announcement to this ef-
feet was made recently by T. M. Hol-
combe, the local express agent.
The Revenue Act of 1921" eliminates
the war tax of one bent on every twenty
cents and fraction thereof on transporta-
ton charges on all express shipments.
This tax during the year of 1920 amount
ed to S17,5O2,91S. The average transpor-
tation charge for each express shipment
was approximately $3.50 and the average
war tax for each shipment was eight
cents. The elimination of the tax, there
fore, Mr.. Taylor states, will virtually
amount to a decrease in rates of a little
over five per cent. Mr.. Taylor believes
this should have a tendency to stimulate
business and thereby accelerate the rap
idly improving conditions throughout the
entire country.
1.-The American Railway Express Co.
handles approximately one million ship
ments a day or nearly four hundred mil
lion shipments a year," Mr. Taylor goes
on to say. "The elimination of the tax
will relieve the American Express Co. of
an immense amount of labor which has
been involved in calculating, entering on
waybills and collection of tax, not to
mention the expense of checking and ac-
entailed.
1.-THE Treasury Department has re-
quested express carriers to advise all
claimantn who have claims pending, for
overcharges, or who file such claims after
December 81, 1921, that claims for refund
of tax should be filed separately on
Department Form No. 46, with
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
within four years from the time tax was
paid, claims being barred by statute of
limitations if received after such time"
Mr. Holcombe pointed out that as the
Revenue Act became effective January
lst, 1922, the tax on all shipments for
warded prepaid" on or before December
81, were collected.
On shipments forwarded collect" and
lrriving on or after January 1st, the tax
will not be assessed.

CEMENT men QUIT
REPORTING SYSTEM
Changed Methods When U. 8.
Took Action Against Hard
wood Men.

\ Trial of corporations and individuals
indicted by the Government in connec-
tion with operations OF the alleged "ce-
ment combine" continued yesterday In
the United States District Court, with
the reading into the record Of various
parts of the minutes of meetings OF the
Cement Manufacturers' Protective Asso-
citation and the recalling to the stand
of William M. Kinney, secretary and
general manager OF that organization.
He testified the reporting system by
which the association was informed of
shipments. cement production and stock
on hand was dropped in January. when
the United States Supreme Court de-
cided against another trade association.
the hardwood manufacturers.
Mr.. Kinney further testified as to
dates on which defendants now on trial
Joined the national association. Other,
reports OF the association were read into
the record after an objection by Col.
Henry L. Stimson for the defendants
was overruled by Judge John G. Knox,
who stated the report was admissible
only against the corporate defendants
and those individuals who had aided in
drafting 1t. The report covered code
which provided a standard practice for
virtually all of the relations between
cement manufacturers and firms vita
whom they did business. Mr. Kinner
stated during the afternoon session that
the main activities of the cement asso-
ciation had consisted of educating the
public in the uses of cement, such az
roads. silos, drainage systems and other
uses, and for this purpose maintained
laboratories in Chicago. Members OF
the association were also active In Can
ada. Mexico and the Argentine Republic,
in addition to this country.
The trial will be continued this morn,
ing.
