FARM DEFLATION
(From Morning News)


In an address before the local farm
Wallace, of the Department of Agri-
culture, called upon labor and capital
to cease their petty pickering and re-
sumo production, trusting to American
institutions and the American sense
Of fair play to see that justice is done
both.
The combatants, labor and capital,
might ask specifically just how that
American sense of fair play will eX-
hibit itself. In these days persons
want to know facts. They are not sat
isfied with generalities.
However, the Secretary spoke to the
point. The pickering should stop. And
if those in the quarrel themselves DO
not stop, the government will have to
find a way to make them. Mr.. Wallace
pointed out how the farmer had been
Debated more than any other person.
The Secretary declared that the pur-
chasing power of the wages of rail-
way employees in 1921 was 81 per cent
greater than in 1913, and the purchas-
ing power of the wages of the coal
miner in 1921 was 80 per cent greater
than in 1918. The purchasing power
of the farm laborer in 1921 was per
cent less than in 1914, while the pur-
chasing power Of the farmer himself
was on an average 25 to As per cent
less than in 1913.
These are startling figures and in
dicate unbalanced industry which is
responsible to large extent for pres
U1I,o ,,,,o o,.e,
have surely been hit hard and, accord
ing to these figures the employees of
the railways are the favored few. It
comes out of the public. How is the
public recompensed? Well, in one way
the fruit growers of California because
of the strike are said to be losing
about one million of dollars day, and
they are without redress. Another
form of recompense was the cruelty of
abandoning trains in a far western
desert with people left suffering in
temperature of 1SO degrees. There is
another angle to it.
The farmers, as Mr.. Wallace says,
have been Debated, but the public does
not get the full benefit of that defa-
little benefit in fact. Prices
of farm products have decreased ma
terially, but the system Of distributing
the products of the farm is so faulty
and the manipulation so powerful that
the dealers can knock down the prices
to the farmers, but hold them high for
the ultimate consumers.
Mr.. Wallace offered a solution to the
entire excepting that he did
not touch on distribution and the fail
ure of the public to benefit by low
he said that, if the other
groups would do as the farmer has
done, our economic troubles would
soon be adjusted to their normal rela-
and there would be work
for everybody at just wages.

TWO FIRES SATURDAY

The local Fire Company was called
out to fight two fires in rapid sue
cession Saturday morning, at Apple
ton and Glasgow, respectively.
Shortly before seven o'clock the
alarm was sounded and the engine
roared up Main Street followed by a
number of motorists anxious to see
the excitement. The blaze was found
to be the modernly equipped barn on
the farm tenanted by Mr.. Hallett
near Appleton. The Elkton tiremen
also responded to the alarm, and be-
tween them the two companies man
aged to save the granary in which
was the electric light equipment for
the farm buildings. All the livestock
were lead safely from the burning
building by the firemen, but great
quantities of grain and hay was to-
tally consumed. The loss was placed
at $4,000.
Hardly had the tired firemen re-
turned to Academy Street after the
hard battle at Appleton when the fire
bell rang again. Hastily pulling on
their boots and coats, they again

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
SEALS NOW ON SALE
10000 Stamps Allotted to
Newark This Year. Com
mittee Chosen. Town
to be Canvassed
START DRIVE THIS WEEK

The American Red Cross, through
its Delaware Branch, has allotted to
the town of Newark a total of 10000
Christmas seals to be attached to gift
packages, cards and letters during the
Holiday season. Although it entails
quick and thorough work on the part
of the local Red Cross Committee, it
is expected that a great majority of
the seals will be sold.
From figures recently compiled it
is proven that tuberculosis causes
over 100000 deaths each year in the
United States; that it costs the coun-
try annually the sum of S50O,0OO 900;
and that more than 100000 persons
have the dreaded disease now. The
main argument in favor of the fight
against the White Plague is the fact
that it can be prevented in large
measure. For this purpose, the Amer
lean Red Cross each Christmas sea-
son calls upon the people of the ma
tion to keep up the fight and help
stamp out the diseased.
Miss Jane Maxwell is chairman of
the Newark Committee in charge of
the sale of the seals and she has ap-
pointed the following women to serve:
Miss Eleanor Harter, Mrs. Frank
Fader, Miss Alice Kerr, Mrs. Leslie
Truitt, Miss Alberta Heiser, Miss Ag-
nes Medill, Miss Audrey Miller, Miss
Mary Chalmers, Miss Margaret An
derson, Mrs. Carl Rankin, Miss Flor
ence Colbert, Miss Hannah Marsey
and Mrs. Anna Steel.
The town will be divided into dis
tricts for the convenience of the work
ers and by this method a thorough
canvass will be looked for. In addi.
ton, the seals are on sale at the Town
Library, Browns Drug Store and Fa.
der's Bakery.

UNLIMITED GUESTS STAGE PARTY
BUT 1T GETS TOO ROUGH
TaIons of the Lac, Reach Offenders Who Spend
Balance of Evening in Toacn's Calaboose
Later Released


During the course of party Sat
urday evening, at the home of Mrs.
Jacob Rupp, near Pencader, just
south of Newark, two young gentle
men, somewhat the worse for several
battles with John Barleycorn, entered
the house and Immediately things be-
gan to happen fast and furiously. In
the first place, visitors were not act
ing according to form for their. names
were nowhere to be found on the
guests list. However, they made a
fairly satisfactory explanation to Mrs.
Rupp in that they were to meet a
vounp woman there at ten O'Clock.
Accordingly they were invited to come
in and wait. Then it seems that they
became very much put out at the
progress of the party and as result
decided to stage one of their own.
After a few more confabs with Mr.
Barleycorn just for luck, they started
on personally conducted tour of the
house. Whenever they met anyone
thew unceremopiously kicked him
down the stairs or put his head under
the kitchen stove. The other mem
bers present could not see much fur
in the "act," however, and they ap

SIDESHOW FOR TOURISTS

A big five ton truck owned bv

conducted rampage about five o'clock
Friday afternoon, and after describing
several preliminary turns and twists,
took running start and buried itself
in the house owned by Howard Work.
along the Lincoln Highway in the
central part of Marshallton. Obser-
vers who had seen service in France
remarked after the accident that they
had never seen such clever imitation
of a tank" in action as was dis
played there at home.
1t was stated that the steering
knuckle on the truck parted company,
and it straightway became a runa-
way. Fisher, the driver, evidently
decided with the space of few sec
onds that it was decidedly unhealthy
to remain at the helm under the cir
cumstances, so he wished his buddy
the best of luck, gathered his cap and
coat and jumped.
Mrs. Work and two small children
were in the house at the time, but
all escaped unhurt. 1t seemed, ac-
cording to Mrs. Work, that the whole
roof rose into the air and then fell
back into place. Pictures and dishes
rolled around on the floor and upon
looking out shattered window, all
she could see was a cloud of white
dust. The visiting truck was dis
covered in the parlor with the engine
still running.
Workmen Monday removed the
truck and started repairs to the house.
Many persons were attracted to the
scene, and all day Sunday many auto
mobiles were stopped along the road
while curious tourists viewed the
ruins. Many persons stopped to take

REV. McELMOYLE
ACCEPTS CALL
OF CHURCH
Action Taken Despite Protest
Of Presbytery. More Trouble
to Follow, is Report

Rev. John McElmoyle, pastor of the
Elkton Presbyterian Church, accept
ed the call of his congregation last
Thursday and on Sunday occupied the
pulpit at both morning and evening
services.
The action of the congregation was
distinct violation of the orders of
the Presbytery, as Rev. McElmoyle
has been officially deposed by that
body. But by unanimous vote, the
people of thechurch called him, and
after a few days deliberation, he ac-
cepted the call.
The sentiment in the town is still
more or less divided on the issue be-
tween the Presbytery and the local
church, but from the events of the
past few weeks, the tide of public
opinion has somewhat turned in favor
of the defiant church and Rev. Nc
Elmoyle.

charges of drinking, disorderly con-
