WE GUARANTEE THAT
There were two fellers

There were two fellers
Both very much alive.
They bought themselves store,
On a dollar seventy-fve.
They paid a dollar down
Seventy-five for an adj
Which brought results
The first week, by dad!
Well, they hired good help
And they cleaned UP the place
And they're playing the game
With smile on their face.
They're not on a street
Where the people pass,
Nor they can't boast
Of lot of plate glass.
Their store was fixed up
With the best that they had
And they told you all about it
With a full page ad.
They've sure got 'em coming
And they never, never quit:
Never cut down
On their ads one bit.
Always something i'm the ad
To make it snappy;
It's pleasure to trade
Where everyone is happy.
Some say they are lucky,
But that's all bunk
For business is good with them
And times are punk.
People have to purchase
And they can save little cash,
By going to Price & Lincoln
to buy their hash

purposes. Down in Cuba, he said, the
plantation owners were making indus
trial alcohol out of corn stalk for
seven cents a gallon. He believed al
cohol could be manufactured by the
American farmers from waste crops
of various kinds for as low as five
and six cents a gallon.
Senator Ball said ne expected he
would be criticised from some sources
for advocating such a modification of
the Volstead act, but he believed it
would be for the best interests of all
| concerned.
In support of his argument, he said
he had found that the big meat pack
ers made no effort to make a profit
on meats but on the waste or by-pro-
ducts.

FUEL ALCOHOL FROM WASTE
Senator Ball, Speaking at Pomona
Grange Meeting, Suggests Change
In VOlstead Law

United States Senator L. Heisler
Ball speaking before a gathering of
several hundred grangers of the State
at the. Fair GROUNDS, Elsmere, who
were attending the Pomona Grange
field meet on Tuesday, advocated a
modification of the Nolstead act to
permit farmers to manufacture indus
trial alcohol from their waste pro-
ducts for use in operating arm ma
chinery and motorcars. Senator Ball
spoke at the dinner which preceded
the field meet. The other speaker Of
the afternoon, was L. T. Taber, vice
president of the Ohio-Pennsylvania
Joint Stock Land Bank, of Cleveland,
who spoke on the need of cooperation
of the farmers and of the present
high prices of grain and of the cause
of high prices. Every grange in Del
aware was represented in the throng
of several hundred men, women and
children which greeted the speakers
at the State Fair Grounds. Senator
Ball spoke extempOraneOusly. Thru
out his speech he emphasized that the
waste of the farm products could be
turned into industrial alcohol at the
low cost of 5 and cents a gallon
This, ne said, could be used for the
operation of farm machinery and for
other industrial purposes. He recalled
that Cuban farmers are producing In
dustrial alcohol from corn stalks at
cost Of cents a gallon.
The consumers of the United States
he said, spent $22I000,00O,OOO las
year for food products. Of this sun
the farmers of the country received
81, 500, 100000 and the railroads $500,
coo 900, or $4,000, 100000 in all.
What became of the difference be
tween the SS,OOO,OOO,OOO and the $50,
600 100000 " asked the Senator
"What became of that $14,0O0,0OO,
900 That is a question that affect
us all. Who got it and what for!
believe the government should lnves
tigate the question thoroughly"
Senator Ball also said there wa
n something decidedly wrong whe
: there "were 100000 farmers in tn
a country and 100000 intermediate 0
n middelmen."
4 AS to the reduction in the cost c
. transportation the Senator said h
IS was opposed to any legislation whic
Ie would tend to cripple the railroad
a because such action tended to cripp
" all industry. He believed, howeve
r he said, that all railroads should pl

BIG TOMATO PACK DOWN STATE
Gamers Hope This Will be a Banner
Year-TOmatOes by the Thousand

Because the tomato packing season
in Delaware and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland is about ten day late this
summer, tomatoes by the hundreds of
thousands of baskets are being
brought to Eastern Shore and Della
ware canneries from New Jersey and
are being packed. The tomato season
in Southern New Jersey is one Of the
largest ever known and the crop is so
much in excess Of the capacity of the
South Jersey canneries that farmers
have been glad to sell their tomatoes
to the Maryland and Delaware pack
ers. The tomatoes are transported on
gasoline launches and scows whose ca
pacity is several thousand of baskets
at a load. When the local tomOtOes
come in which is expected this week,
the canneries, it is predicted will have
enough to keep them running at full
force night and day for longer than
the ordinary season. The acreage in
lower Delaware this year is one of
the largest ever known and the vines
look as though the yield will be enOr-
NOUS. Both the Gamer and the grow
er are in high hopes of a banner year
as there has not been much made in
either canning or growing for the
canneries in the last few years.

New head lamps and fen

wider running boards-un-

common to all types.
Combining these features
with important mechanical
