these men are working their hardest
to see that the State Fair this year
is the best ever.
Delaware's Fair has a high rating
among the fairs of this circuit, which
includes the famous fairs at Allen
town and Trenton, but in the past
few years the local fair has been
gained on its rivals in size and in
the class of exhibits as well as the
prizes and harness racing. One feat
ure of the Delaware State Fair that
is second to none is the horse show
which is one of the finest of it's nature
in this section of the country. Every
year some of the best horse flesh
completes for prizes in this show and
already this year there has been a
great number of entries received.
In the list just released the fol-
lowing department superintendent
and assistants have been announced:
Women-Miss Emeline Derickson;
Children--Mrs. Frederick G. Snyder,
Miss Mary Gruwell and Miss Naomi
Pepper; Fruits-R. G. Buckingham;

The cattle exhibition this year will
without doubt be much larger and
better than in previous years and
there will be special exhibits for Hol-
stein-Friesian breeders. On March
21st, at special meeting of the COM
mittee on prizes of the Holstein- Fri
eslan Association, at Brattleboro,
Vermont, the special premium offer
ed to the Delaware State Fair was
increased from Is to 20 per cent. It
can be seen from this that there is
countrywide interest in the local cat
tie exhibition. All cattle exhibited
in this department must be tuberculin
tested by qualified veterinarian not
more than 80 days prior to September
4th. Cattle from Federal accredited
herds are excepted in this ruling, and
the necessary papers to that effect
must be shown. 1t is expected that a
great number of cattle from the New
ark district will be on exhibition, as
there are many fine herds in this dis
trict as is shown in the monthly cat
tie reports. In the Cattle Department,
prizes will be offered in the following
classes: Registered Holstein; regis
tered Guernsey; registered Jersey;
beef breed-registered Hereford, and
graded classes.
The Sheep and Swine Department
will also be unusually large this wear

The Fruit Department will be in
charge of Richard G. Buckingham.
This department should show up lot
better this year than last, unless there
are some heavy frosts within the next
few days. Last year the fruit of
Delaware was hard hit by the late
frosts and much of the fruit was
ruined and could not be exhibited.
This year, although there have been
several frosts, it is expected that
there will be bumper crops.
The following fruits will be exhibit
ed: apples, crab apples, best packed
bushel Of apples, peaches, pears,
grapes, and ounces.
Of course to the people of the rural
sections products from the ground
are of the most interest and therefore

THE CRUELTY OF THE PAST
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
copyright. 1921. by Frank Crane)

There is no doubt but that there is great deal OF
cruelty in the world !,
Behind all the cIamorous charges that make up the
literature of protest there is some truth. we Woud
not DENY for moment that there ntolerant ma
jorties tyrannical rulers heartless employers, ana
other oppressors, individual, and official heaven
knows the world is bad enough
But we can get one little crumb OF comfort from
reflecting that it has been good deal worse
These thoughts started up by the recent re-
markabe archaeological discoveries that have been mace
in Asia Minor and the Sudan.
These show that high state of civilization existed
several thousand years ago. The Babyonans antlcl-
pated many of our inventions.
Most Of this old world life has been revealed to US
during the last eighty years. Recently The Daily Mall
Of London called attention to the fact that it only
some seventy years ago that great English scholar,
Grote insisted that before 700 B. c. the art OF writing
was unknown. Modern archaeology, however, has dem
onstrated that have written inscriptions IN the
stones Of the Cretan palaces which must have been
built at least thousand years before the date by
Grote although as yet many of them cannot be read
zone fact" says The Daily Mail, Stands out from
the monuments and records of this ancient culture 1t
was extraordinarily cruel with savagery not sur
passed until the days of the Boshevst torture cham
bers in Russia 1t killed human beings mercilessy
as if they had been flies The burial Of hundreds OF
miserable servants alive to accompany Egyptian dignl-
tares into the next world is now proved to have been
a custom at period Yet the Egyptians were among
the most humane of the anclents
This is but in line with what any schoolboy knows
about that section of ancient history which lies more
open to the light of literature.
We know that the republic of the ancient Greeks
was composed of freemen only to limited degree, as
probably the majority of the human beings there were
helots or slaves.
We know Of the cruelty of Rome in the days of its
highest cuture we know Of its gladiatora games and
the merciess hands Of its rulers
We know of the horror of the middle ages, its
prosecutions for heresy its judicial torture and its
many fantastic and revolving forms Of the death
penalty
And we also know that Greece, Rome and the
Medieval church, bad as they were, were better than
the dark world that surrounded them.
And, knowing all this we have pretty fair reason
for believing that the world is getting better.

Fast Driving Near Schools

Because of disregard of the rule ordering slow
driving along those sections Of the street where
schools located small boy seriously injured
yesterday. A similar accident occurred in the
neighborhood a week before. The same kind of an
accident is liable happen in the streets adjacent to
our schools at any time, for some drivers pay at
tention the regulations.
In this case the boy escaped to be struck
by another travelling in the opposite direction The
fact that the boy struck was in itself evidence
that the which struck him not under
troll At twelve mile rate of speed a car may be
stopped almost instantly and that is why the rule
requiring slowing down to 10 IL miles in prox-
unity to schools is imposed.
Children not be counted upon to observe the
approach of cars. Therefore drivers must observe
the approach of children Moreover there is some
thing that drivers do generally but find
at considerable expense in damage suits. that it is
not incumbent upon pedestrians get out of their
One on foot has right to continue his progress
at crossing in supreme disregard Of cars is the
business the driver to take care that he does not
hit him.
Jures generally recognize the right of the pedes-
trian in the roadway. and that view was sustained
last Saturday by the supreme court which that
pedestrian is not required to "look both ways"
His position is different from that of those who
have to stop. look, listen. at railway crossings.

Good Citizenship

There good citizens who not thrifty. But
there are few bad citizens who are thrifty. BY
thrift we do not the habit of accumulation but
the habit OF saving accumuations by proper means.
We have in mind that thrift of saving something Of
every days earnings; saving to provide against want
sickness and old age and to gain an accumulation
which will enable to accomplish more and more for
ourselves and Others The prosperity Of the country
rests wholly thrift without it railroads could
not and mines and factories could be operated
One may not be actively patriotic and yet he may
be good citizen. A selfish motive may impel him
to observe the laws and that others observe them
II he is thrifty he is apt to be a good citizen. He
may forget take off his hat when the flag goes by
and to rise from his seat when the national anthem
is played sung But he wants all the time stable
government for without it he could have no incen-
tive to practice thrift.
The director OF savings of the treasury depart
ment the other day wrote to the cashier of Reno
Nevada, bank the subject Of thrift:
The value Of personal saving to my mind is one
OF great importance. This habit formed is
OF the best for the responsibilities of life. My OBJ
servations banker bear this out have IL
lustrations OF this every day our existence.
Take for example the person who has savings
account making it rule to at least part Of his
her earnings such account grows, the person
feels Independent financially, and knowing that
having fund, worries Incidental to daily
life through lack of funds to take Of ones needs
does not affect them, they in position to take
advantage of necessities and opportunities
On the other hand, those who follow the rule Of
spending all they and oftimes than their
income they join the class of the restless who
found throughout our land.
Now, after one has accumulated savings the mat
ter of investment presents ITSELF and there
many wild cat propositions offered one must
extreme in this respect.
I therefore heartily approve and recommend the
purchase of u S. Treasury Savings Certificates which
have been placed on the market by government
through its post office department, as a safe and
sound investment for idle funds.
The we create the universal sentiment for
thrift among people the better citizenship there
win be throughout the world.

any crop is to be made at all. So the

vances at another.
The plan sketched out by the gov
ernment calls for a series Of airplane
stations reaching clear across the
cotton belt on the boil weeviI front.
When you realize that a single plane
flying across this front might destroy
the weevil completely over a swatch
600 feet wide, and when you reflect
how much time and how many men 1t
would take TO do the same work by
hand, you get some idea OF the pos
sibilities of the new method. But 1t

ing, to be effective, must be done at
night when the dew Is on the plant,
I it seems. The air service, however,
seems to be prepared and willing to
undertake the work under these con-
ditions.
Then, again, the expense viii be
heavy. Calcium arsenate costs about
10 cents a pound, and enormous
quantities of It would be necessary
for this lavish method of distribution.
There is no doubt that the work

the cotton it would save.
Here, as in many other ways. the
clumsiness of modern Industrial and
governmental methods comes in. The
trouble is that the saving cannot De

probability that the experiment would be per-

that he would be permitted to land in the United

then if the government should not interfere he would
have no such following he would have had before
