PLENTY OF STRAWBERRIES.

Reports from Every Evenings
State correspondents bring the grati-
fyins now. that the Sussex county
strawberry crop Is now coming into
market. and that the crop promises
10 be as largo as II ever was. This
means a liberal supply OF this lus-
c,ous and popular berry for the thou
sands who love II. and also e ought
TO mean a general Indulgence by the
people At fair rates. SO Il will,
doubtless. in most communities, hut
whether the people Of Wilmington
Will he so favored remains to be seen.
Low prices for farm product. in the
local markets are not prevalent in this
city, and instances have been frequent
where local dealers would allow their
produce 10 perish from decay rather
than reduce current prices to any ap-
rreciable extent.
Also. there are gratifying reports
that prospects for good crops OF
peaches, apples. pears and other fruits
[ Of the Peninsula are highly encour-
aging. Gloom prevailed after the sud
/ den and severe frosts OF the early
spring. but all crops seem 10 have
survived the ordeal finely. and un-
less other destructive influences are
encountered hereafter. we may expect
splendid crops.
For this result all will sincerely
hope. II would be a great thing for
the Peninsula if we could have crops
which could be marketed and sold al
prices fair to the consumer and al
the same time fairly profitable to the
producer. The problem of effectiv,
distribution is essential 10 such a re.
suit. but with the Delaware Farm
Bureau. and especially its Division q
Markets. now actively operative fol
the first time. the results should b,
much more systematic, productiv,
and generally beneficial than ever be
fore. Certainly il would be a boon I,
the people of Wilmington 10 be abb
70 buy all these fine farm products a
reasonable prices.

DAuaHERrY's DELIRlUM.

Attorncy-G General DauEherty, prob
ably excited beyond the bounds OF
prudence by attacks upon his own I'D
ministration by members OF his own
political party In Congress. is now
going after" the Wilson administra-
tion. He Ia making charges OF frauds
In war contracts. some OF which, he
says. were committed during the ad-
ministration Of President Wilson. His
report to this effect, but without any
details. has been sent to Congress by
President Harding. Tho Attorney
General promises an "early exposure"
Very well. let the exposure come
II frauds were committed they should
be revealed and the perpetrators pun
irhed. II possible. no matter which
administration they served under
Mr.. Wilson's or Mr.. Harding's. But
people in general will be excused for
feeling skeptical in regard to the mat
ter of gross frauds In war matters
during the Wilson administration. n
viii be recalled that a Republican
Senate and Republican House Of
Representatives were elected In 1918.
only a few days before the war was
stopped by the armistice. and that the
Republican House spent thousands OF
dollars i'm investiga tons intended 10
reveal fraud In tho Wilson war ad-
ministration. but without unearthing
the slightest rascality. The Senate
withheld its hand In this despicable
work. doubtless because tho effective
Republican majority IN that body
| Newbcrry of Michigan--was 'out or
bail" most OF the time.
Democratic leaders In the House OF
Representatives look upon Attorney.
General Daughertys outbreak as 9
scheme to block any Investigation o.
his department by the House as {
result OF the attacks made upon 1
by Representatives Johnson an'
Woodruff. his Republican assailants
No doubt he will be successful. as tn,
large Republican majority In tn
House would hardly consent TO al
investigation of a department Of Presi
dent Hardins's administration at thi
time.
So let Daugherty have his own littl
investigation, II he wants II.

"STANDING PAT.

Sometimes It Is good thing to
stand pat" At other times 1t Is poor
policy. even reprehensible.
President Harding will not be gen.
orally commended for his stand pat"
policy in respect OF tho appointment
of Nat Goldstein as collector OF in
ternal revenue for the st. Louis dis
trict. In response to question about
the matter he replied TO the effect
that he would neither commend nor
apologize for any OF his official ap-
pointments. This Is standing pat"
Yet there are good grounds for criti-
cising the appointment OF Goldstein
to any important public Office. as he
stands charged with offences against
political morality that It Is not pos
sible TO condone.
But while President Harding ap-
parently was undisturbed by the scan
dal of Goldstein's appointment. Gold
stein was more sensitive. Deeply
stirred by the severe criticisms that
followed the Presidents action. he
was moved TO write letter asking
that his appointment he withdrawn,
and the President complied. It ap-
pears. therefore. that I'm the end the
dscredited Codstein had a much finer
sense of propriety than President
Harding displayed.
The country still remembers the
furore that was caused when expos.
ures were made of the corrupt use OF
money during the Republican primary
campaign of 1920, in the interest oi
Governor Lowden of Illinois for th,
Republican nomination for President
It Was shown that Lowden had con,
tributed a largo sum of money. which
had been expended In various direc
tions, and there was proof that a
least ono delegate TO tho convention
had received Lowden Nancy. Gold
stein was named ~ one OF the agent
In the distribution Of the Lowdei
"slush fund"
And Goldstein is not the only on
OF those touched by the slime OF tn
Iowden campaign OF corruption to re
ceive recognition at the hands OF tn
Harding administration. Several hav
been appointed TO good jobs. Will

PUREBRED SHEEP
MOST PROFITABLE
Hampden County Sheep Clubs Get Bet
ter Results With Them Than
With Grades.

SPRINGFIELD Mass, March 81
Boys and girls in the sheep clubs of
Hampden county are greatly interested in
comparing the results secured by mem-
bers who have purebred sheep as against
those who have grade sheep. 1t already
seems clear that purebred sheep will out
class the grade in every particular. One
point of interests just now is the number
and quality of lambs. The purebredS are
now far ahead with II pair of twins from
II ewes. .-.
\ year ago the sheep club members had
ID grade ewes from which they raised 40
lambs This last fall. through the help
of the livestock committee of the league,
these young people increased their fiocks
by purchasing 36 purebred ewes. Four
teen of these sc ewes have rs lambs If
the remaining - purebred ewes do rs
we'll, there will be more lambs from the
80 ewes than there were from the -
grades a year ago. Better still, all these
lambs are better lambs.
Part of this increase in quality and
numbers may be due to the fact that ex-
perience has taught these young people
how to give better care and attention to
their tiocks. but this is not so i'm every
case, as two or three inexperienced boys
were given purebred sheep. The ma iority
of these quality ewes were purchased by
X. J. Cleveland, chairman of the live
stock committee, from a big breeder in
Maine
