USED CARS, like used houses.
are filling a most vital need in
this country. Where the one
shelters the family as one under
its roof, the other takes the fam
lily as one out into unexplored
byways and reveals to them new
delights. Where one is a COM
mon meeting place for the whole
family, the other is a source of
inspiration and JOY to the whole
family. Each plays its part.
There is no more reason for
hesitating about buying a
used car than for hesitat-
ing about moving into a used
house. Each is essential to
life. to health and to hap
piness. And it is only fair to
themselves for those who have
denied themselves the advan-
tages OF automobile ownership
to consider the. question in this
light thoughtfully and honestly.

FLORIDA NEGROES ASKED
 TO ABANDON OLD POLICY
 OF FUNERALS ON SUNDAY

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. 14.-In a recent public address to prominent negroes of the city, including preachers and teachers, pr. J. R. Harris, City Health Officer, deplored the practice of negro secret societies holding so many funerals on Sundays. It has been the custom here, Dr. Harris pointed out, for the lodges and rela- tives of negroes dying during the week to postpone the funerals until the following Sunday. This often necessitates a considerable delay, which is not only opposed to the rules of public health, but also is a hardship upon the feelings of 'umer- ous bereaved relatives, whose suffer- ings are prolonged by postponed and elaborate lodge ceremonies. The negro ministers adopted a resolution supporting the stand of the City Health Officer.

3 YEARS LITIGATION ENDS

More Than One Hundred Farmers
Win $4,000 Award for CantalOupes
One hundred and twenty claimants,
all WicOmico county farmers, will
realize an award from a decision
reached between John G. and Edith
E. West and counsel for the plaintiffs
ending a litigation which has occupied
the courts of Somerset and Worcester
counties since the fall of 1920. By
this settlement, the claimants will OBJ
tain 25 per cent of the total claims
amounting to approximately $4,000
and the burden of court expenses falls
upon the defendants. The case, aris-
ing over alleged non-payment for
shipments of cantaloupes purchased
by John G. West at the Salisbury auc-
tion block in 1920, was first presented
in the Somerset county court in the
spring of 1921 and by mutual agree
ment between the counsel for the
claimants and the defendants, the re-
naming 119 cases should be decided
by a test case in which James Driscoll
was the plalnUlI.
At this term, the court ordered the
case taken from the jury on the
ground that insufficient evidence was
presented. Further evidence was OBJ
tained and new trial granted which
in the following fall resulted in a
hung jury. In the spring of 1922, the
case was removed to Worcester coun-
ty and the jury returned a verdict for
the plaintiff. An appeal was taken
and the decision of the lower court
was affirmed by the State tribunal.
The defendants are alleged to have
refused to abide by the agreement OF
the counsel representing each of the
litigants and the attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS withdrew. Two other claim
ants presented charges and another
trial was held in the spring term OF
the Somerset court, which also result
ed in a hung jury.
Again a new trial was granted anC
the case placed upon the docket to be
tried at Princess Anne during the
present session of court. Before the
case was presented however, an agree
ment has been effected. Attorneys

tees for the Vests and have been Civ

FORTUNE IN FRUIT FOR FARMER
Apple and Peach Season Most Profit
able in History of Lower Delaware

Apple and Peach Season Most Profit
able in History of Lower Delaware
The apple and peach season, in low
er Delaware is going to be one of the
most profitable in the history of the
industry in this section and scores
of farmers will realize small fortunes
off their fruit crop. Apples at the
present time are bringing as high as
Sl.35 per bushel, and the yield is very
prolific. Thomas Smith, a Bridge
vile farmer, has 5000 bushels which
he has just sold for SIPS per bushel.
Other farmers are realizing equally
good prices. Philip H. Cannon, Jr..
began loading Wednesday a carload
OF apples for Reese Layton, of Bridge
vile, at $1.35 per bushel Mr.. Can
non realized $1,000 as his share from
$50 peach trees on his farm near
Bridgeville, tenanted by Robert w.
LOfland, the total sales from these
trees being $2,83425. The three large
apple farms in Southern Delaware
York Imperial, Wissahickon and Del
aware. Apple Orchards, have expert
enced a very busy and profitable sea
son. Early apples brought as high as
$1.25 per bushel, and the late crop,
which is still being gathered, is bring
ing equally as good, if not better,
prices. The yield in both the early
and late apple crops, has been a
bumper one.

palms, Christmas greens and chrys-

and many novel holiday effects. A
colorful scene of whirling dancers
gave Kaleidoscope effect of great
gorgeousness, numbers of spring
creations being worn at this affair.
At this party the college set met
before returning to their respective
schools, and danced and frolicked
through the evening hours with the
others for the last time. Many anus
ing favors; imported beautiful things,
were used miniature horns, cry
babies, caps and many noise makers,
all beautifully embossed.

was served, after which dancing be-
gan anew, and lasted until the early

! is that they don't look for her in the
right places. They seek her at balls,
and dinner dances, and cabarets, and
in the haunts of the gay and giddy
and they do not find her. She isn't
there for the excellent reason thai
no man has asked her to go to any
place of entertainment with him.
You won't need to do bit of
sleuthing to find the dear, domestic
girl, son. She is always at home,
and you may discover her any eve
ming in the bosom of her family, or
at the prayer meeting, or the self
improvement league, or the neighbor-
hood movie. 1t is not the sensible
girls who are hard to locate. 1t is
the silly, frilly ones, that are off
joyridng heaven knows where.
But here's word in strict con-
f,dence, son. Don't be discourag ed
about girls. Not one in hundred
is as big a fool as she seems to be,
or is as red as she is painted. Girls
act like conventional idiots because
! the less sense a girl seems to have,
tho more men admire her. Girls dress
extravagantly because men won't
take them about. and give them a
good time unless they look like baby
dolls. Girls cultivate their heels in
stead of their heads, because the girl
who can dance like professional is
| riot wherever she goes, while the
college graduate, who is heavy on
| her feet, Is shelved.
The First Business
Girls try TO be what men want
I them to be because the first business
in life of every girl is to catch a
! husband. Therefore, she tries to
please the masculine taste, but there
| Is a lot more under the average flap
| per's bobbed hair than she gets credit
! for possessing.
| Many a frock that looks as il 1t
was a French Importation has been
made by the nimble little fingers OF
It's wearer. Many a little girl who
| looks like the daughter of the idle
rich earns her own living, and helps
| support the family while as for
chasing the elusive bargain to it's
lair, and getting a hundred cents out
of every dollar she spends, grand
| time.
| My correspondent asks If there are
any girls who are willing to marry
poor man and help build UP his
| future. There are scads of them, son.
If you don't believe IT, 1 dare you to
nut the proposition up 20 any girl you
want, but don't do it unless you take
| along an engagement ring in your
| waisteoat pocket.
Women are what men want them %
| be, and they come to suit all tastes.
| That has been true from the begin
ming and it will be true until the
| end of time.
