Continued from page 1.

During tho important masSmeetings
in Sussex county, especially the ones
held at Georgetown and Seaford,
motion picture depicting the du Pont
road, entitled When Dreams Come
True" has been exhibited. The pic
ture has met with opposition on the
part of some Of the leading Republi-
cans In the county. who say II Ia one
of the greatest political blunders that
could have been made. While the in

Democrats Confident.
The belief prevails among the Dem
ocrats that Senator du Pont Ia going
to be defeated, and his chance Of cleo
ton has diminished wonderfully with
in the past week. The followers OF
Alfred l. du Pont In this county are
opposed to him. and some of the
leaders are said to he working against
him as strenuously as they can.
That Congressman Layton and Sem
etor du Pont are only friends on the
surface is well known down in Sussex,
and their antagonistic feelings crop
out occasionally as was the case a,

CANCER, IT'S CAUSE AND CURE.

DR.. Head, specialist, has this t.
say about the dread disease, cancer,
which once was practically ar I'M
known disease. Now. he claims more
people die annually of cancer than
from the White Plague. And he claims
by personal observation and medical
research that the highly-seasoned
foods. especially large quantities OF
flesh food, and very little exercise, are
responsible for many thousands OF
cases of cancer. The best cure. &C
cording to his writings, is to get back
to the simple life, eat good, wholesome
food. and earn the bread by the sweat
OF the brow"
When once cancer is migrated into

Let US relate the story of a multi

judge, if all rich men would do as Mr.
Page. of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has done,
and is yet doing. Born a poor boy, he
had struggle through boyhood and
young manhood, and through the

and oil he used some of his money in
purchasing a 10000 acre farm, with
enough buildings to care for and edu-

LINCOLN'S BIRTHPLACE.

In Larue County, Kentucky, the log
cabin. where Lincoln was born, the
Government placed memorial wall
around it and the spring from which
the Lincoln family obtained their
drinking water Up on the hill a five
minutes walk, is frame school house
large enough TO accommodate so chill
dren of the neighborhood. Not a pic
ture or map on the walls, and only
a torn newspaper clipping about the
memorial the government had built
around the cabin and spring. The chill
dren. upon being questioned, knew
absolutely nothing about Lincoln, but
knew all about Daniel Boone. The
lady-teacher tried to apologize by say
ing that so many government people
from the East visited the place and
made speeches that it was not neces
sary TO teach it in the schools. AT
Hodgdonville, a town of considerable
size. there is a bronze statue of Lin
coin on the public square. The Presi-
dent of the School Board was in doubt
as to whether Lincoln was white or
black. as he freed the negroes, and
his statue on the square was black.

CHOCOLATE CANDY

1t is interesting to know that down
in mountainous Ecuador, country as
large as Iowa and Illinois, grows the
Palm tree which yields the cocoa
beans from which chocolate is made.
One of our chocolate companies has
eleven great factories in one bunch,
in an Eastern State, and carload after
carload Of these beans are unloadeG
in these buildings. A thousand barrels
of sugar is used every week in this
enc great factory. The beans are
cleaned and roasted in large ovens for
three or four hours. 1t is said that the
thirty roaster5 will take care of more
than hundred tons of these beans in
single day. The beans are then
crushed. the shells blown away and
the big cylinders then grind the kerr
nels into liquid which looks little
like sorghum, sugar is added, and we
have the sweet chocolate.

SMUGGLING

We read Of smuggling in History,
during the strenuous colonial times.
We have noticed that when forbidden
fruit is placed out Of reach so much
harder will be the struggle to secure
the prize. Since the Constitution for
bids liquor, all imaginable means are

Sausage" plan. Recently. in one of our
Eastern cities, two link sausage
stands were in evidence. One sold the
"doggies" at 10c, the other at 2jc.
The latter sold them at 25c so rapidly
that SUSPICION was aroused. A police
man went to the stand, laid down a
quarter and received an article in the
shape of a link sausage. tied at both
ends, filled with liquor.

ANOTHER SPEED RECORD.

From Mineola, y. Y, Dec. 80, comes
the message that the Larson Mono

his helper. Lloyd Betand, were in the

seconds. They had trouble because OF
a balky oil connection, and were al
