CITY OF NJ AND CR0ESUS
Being the Birthplace Of TWO
Great Men Of History.


Smyrna, recently captured by the
Turks, is both old and famous. 1t is
the purported birthplace of Croesus
and claims to be the birthplace of
Homer. 1t was a city long before the
days of Alexander the Great, who re
built 1t where it now stands, as he
saw its strategic position as an e
IRENE western port for eastern mar
kets. In % A. D. Rome selected
Smyrna from among many rivals for
site of the great temple to be dedi-
Gated to the emperor.
This ancient city figures prominent
ly in connection with early church his
tory, observes the Detroit News. 1t
is but so miles from Ephesus, where
the ruins of that city with its famous
temple are still to be seen. Smyrna
itself is supposed to have been for
some time the home of the apostle st.
John, whose disciple, Polycarp, after
ward head of the Smyrna church, was
burned at the stake about 155 A.. D.
His tomb IS still the outstanding sight
of the city and is on the crest of the
hill near the place of his m%artyrdom.
Almost within sight of P~olycarp's
tomb, to the south, lies the isle of
Patmos, to which st. John was BAN
fshed, and where the Book of Reve-
lation is supposed to have been
written.

Appointment of Committee
"TON LITTER CLUB IS
PLAN FOR MONTANA

The most practical object lesson in
economical pork production of a de-
cade was the Ton Litter Club pro-
jected in Indiana last year. Of the
555 farmers who attempted to raise
a ton of pork from one litter in six
months, 80 succeeded. Not a
"scrub" litter made the goal. A lit
ter of big type black hogs topped the
list with 3,040 pounds Of pork in $50
days.
Montana breeders are falling in
line with Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin,
and Illinois in following Indiana's lead
The project in Montana will be under
the supervision of the State Agricul-
tural College, and the county agents
of the Montana counties. 1t is hoped
that demonstration ton filters will be
exhibited at the State and Midland
Empire Fairs this fall, according to
w. E. Joseph of the Experiment Sta
ton at Bozeman.

CULTIVATE ADAPTABILITY IN
CHILDREN
By Edith Lochridge Reid

A characteristic too often over
looked, or at least unemphasized in
the training of children, is that of
adaptability. How does your child re-
spond to adverse conditions or new
contacts? When you take him visiting
does he make a roar because he can't
sleep in his own bed or eat with his
own spoon or ride in the front seat of
the car as he does at home? If he re-
spends unfavorably to new conditions,
then his training in conforming to cir
cumstances has been neglected.
A child that cannot comply with the
routine of the home in which he is a
guest can upset plans and create fric-
ton until the pleasure of the visit is
spoiled for mother and hostess; and
to prepare him so that this unpleas-
antness may be avoided cannot be
done in the two or three days that
precede a visit.

AN APPEAL TO FARMERS

To farmers and members of the
Farm Bureau, the Executive Commit
tee of the Farm Bureau of Sussex
county, ask for an expression from
farmers generally, as to their opinion
of the activities of the Farm Bureau,
in behalf of Sussex county farmers es-
pecially.
The greater part of the bureau rec
ollect that this is their third and last
year they signed up for as member
ship in the organization.
There will have to be another drive
made in the latter part OF the present
year, or in the first of next year, so
it behoves that we consider what the
conditions are, just what has been &C
complished and what should be accom-
plished through the Farm Bureau Or
ganization.
If there are criticisms to be made,
the Executive Committee of the Sus-
sex County Farm Bureau will be glad
to have them put into letter form, so
that we can consider and learn what
is for the best interest of all concern
ed. We want the criticism, but we also
want your idea as to how to solve the
problem. If you are not prepared 10
sit down and write a letter of this
character at once-take Il little time
to think the problem over and then
write your thoughts on the subject
and offer something betterA
The Executive Committee of the
Farm Bureau has worked without pay
and paid their own expenses for the
past five years, so it is not asking
any thing unreasonable Of the farmers
who are interested in the effort to
benefit general conditions for all, to
ask them to write short letters to
some of the county papers-especiai-
lv the Milford Chronicle, and say
plainly, just what they think of the
Farm Bureau and it's work.
The Executive Committee cannot
accomplish anything without the CO.
operation of the farmers and we ask
for your cordial help in making pub
lie the purposes of the organization
and how widely it is working.
This appeal is made by approval OF
the Executive Committee and we ask
you to write the letters requested for
publication and also advise with the
secretary, Joseph D. Thompson, Lewes,
Delaware.

To be sure, child should have his
own things and should be held to a
system of conduct at home-else how
can he form any habits of regularity;
not for a moment can this theory be
discounted. And it is very well to add
that small children should be left at
home as much as possible and not
subjected to a change of living condi-
tions-but every mother knows that
there are exceptions to this rule. We
cannot all have nurse girls and house
keepers, and we cannot always stay
at home; so while we are training the
children in good habits, let us not give
them the idea that these habits are
not adjustable.
Well, how shall we do it? The fun
damental point in adjustability is un-
selfshness. In fact when you stop to
think of it, doesn't unselfishness al
most always solve the problem Of fric-
ton in social and business life?
One little mother helped her chill
dren by having a guest day at home.
On this day the whole family pre-
tended they were dining some place
else. Bobbie, instead of having his
high chair, sat on two books and a
cushion as he has to do at Aunt Ell
lens when he visits there. And Esther
had to eat with a big knife and fork
and drink from a "grown-up glass"
and there wasn't any milk so they
drank waite rand were very polite
about it.
You get the idea! The family are
lifted out of the rut-boosted up as
it were to peek over the highboard
fence to see what is in the neighbOr's
yard. And the change of scene is in
spring rather than annoying.
In social life the happiest individual
and the most popular is the one COM
monty known as a good mixer, the
qualifications for which are simply
adaptability to circumstances and re-
spect for the interests and ideas of
others. So the sooner and the more
thoroughly our children cultivate
these traits, the easier will everyday
living be for them and their associates
but only by the careful patient
guidance of the mother can these ac-
quirements be attained.
1.-THE grown-up men and women Of
today are, in a sense, past saving.
The best work of the Republic is to
save the children" David Starr Jor-
dan has said. The kindergarten is a
moral as well as mental and man
ual school. If we wish to change the
course of a river it is to the source,
not to the mouth, that we direct our
efforts. Kindergartens should be
provided for all of our children in
stead of only one in nine. If there is
none in your community ask the Ma
tional Kindergarten Association, 8
West 10th Street, New York, how to
obtain one.

"WETS" WIN ELECTION
Overwhelming Victory for Backers of John Barlcycorn in Recent Voting In Queensland.

Sydney. \. s. w., Dec. 21.--The overwhelming victory of the vets in the recent election at Queensland, wherein the voters in favor of con tinuance more than doubled their ma jority over the election of 1920. is directly attributed 10 the fact that the liquor trade, or public houses, voluntarily consented to curtail- ment of hours in which their places of business were kept open.
 Until recent amending legislation was passed the bars kept open from 6 a. m. until II D. m. There were three issues in the election-abolition state control and continuance. The campaign was unprecendently bitter because. under the recently amended legislation. it was the last poll that would have prohibition as an issue. The result was more than usually un- certain because compulsory voting. which was applied 10 liquor poll for the first time in Australia. introduced an unknown quantity into th factors to be counted on.'
 shortly before the poll. however, the liquor contingent voluntarily sub mitted to the curtailment Of hours from f7 to 12 daily. The bars agreed

Frankfort Oder, Dec. 2l.-- The profiteering middlemen dealing in foodstuffs have been dealt hard blow by the cooperative efforts of a committee representing city and la Dor officials and a committee of the Landbund, or farmers organization. Under the new scheme certain quan- titles Of potatoes and meats are de- livered weekly at fixed prices and dis tributed through municipal authori- ties.
 The result has been that the city workers and farmers have eliminated the middlemen; retail prices of pota- toes and meat to consumers have been reduced nearly 50 per cent and the farmers are receiving better prices than before. Another advantage is that the supply of potatoes and meat

VARIETY OF JEWELRY
 FOR SHRINE VESSELS

Washington, Dec. q. -- Catho- lies from all parts of the country have sent so many gems and pieces of jew elry as their offerings for the Ma tional Catholic Shrine of the Immac- ulate Conception, now being erected at Catholic University, that large safe deposit box has been requisition- ed 10 hold them. Many strange and Interesting trinkets, ranging from q society woman's jewels to an old mans gold trimmed spectacles, have been received to be melted down and converted into chalices and other sa- cred vessels 10 grace the many altars that will be erected in the shrine.
 Chlldren's rings, a cigarette cas-, wedding rings, hcirlooms of small value but priceless for their associa- tions, and diamonds and other pre- cious stones, including some clusters of great worth, have been sent 70 the Rev. Dr. Bernard A. McKenna, secretary to Bishop Thomas J. Sha- han, upon whom has devolved the duty of raising the fund 10 build the great cdifice.
 Most of the jewels were gifts from living persons. many others were willed to the fund. Several persons sent in their mothers wedding rings. and the letters accompanying all re- quested the articles 10 go into the forming of such holy vessels as will be placed on or nearest the altars While most of the gifts from Catho- lies in the Unted States, others came from devotees in Europe and South America.
 One of the most valuable of the gifts was a cluster Of diamonds given by a Washington woman. which was valued at more than 5000. A Colo rado miner sent a gold nugget. A

soldier in Hawaii sent diamond; and a veteran of the Civil War of- fcrcd his gold ring.
 The shrine is to be the largest edi- flee of the Catholic Church in Ameri- ca. Only a portion of the crypt has been completed. Ii is estimated the structure will cost between 5000, 900 and s7,000.o00, and will accomodate 5000 persons.
