but in Maryland and other
states-mean to them as indi-
viduals. In the next ten years,
the dreams of T. Coleman du-
Pont for the advancement of the
State of Delaware through a
magnificent system of high
ways, will be realized. Already
the advance in the prices of real
estate where the roads have
been built, as well as in the
towns through which they pass
OF lead to, has almost, if not
quite equalled their cost of con-
struction. 1t is up to the peo-
pie themselves to work out bust
ness problems for their own
benefit from this opportunity. A
small farm properly managed in
producing the things that sell
quickly to a profitable market,
is far more to be desired than a
large farm, where the chances
are fewer for the use every day
of the entire year of individual
enterprise. It would seem that
the present time is ripe for the
practical farmer to get a grip on
his affairs and a balanced mind
for the coming years. Each
knows his own desires and his
own ability to carry them into
effect, and with ambition to sue
ceed and energy to act with
steady persistence, success will
follow. The new roads open op-
pOrtunity to get to market and
sell for the high dollar, while
the men and women who read,
think out plans, work for sue
cess and use of the good COM
mon sense which they have, will
make success for themselves.
The world will go on regardless
of our Individual opinions or
acts. Children will be born and
people will die and the seasons
and elements continue, regard
less of any opinion or theory of
business or government an indi-
vidual may advance. Look at
facts plainly and realize that in
these days of concrete highways
and aeroplanes that "the world
do move" Especially is this a
fact where there are concrete
roads and automobiles; and, it is
also a fact that there are the Op-
portunities for quick profits for
rural communities "

to prove that the new concrete
road system is increasing the
value of real estate everywhere
in Delaware, than the new build
ings which are springing up
along their routes, as well as the
rural sales stands to sell pro-
ducts of the farms direct to the
travelling public from distant
cities even in strictly rural Sec
tions. "The people of the rural
districts" continues the Milford
Chronicle, "are getting into
touch with people of distant
places, and by this intercourse
have realized the advantage to
them as individuals, through fin
ancial transactions. In these
days it is common for autos
from the cities and even the To-
cal towns, to enter the farm
yards and negotiate for chickens
eggs, vegetables, fruits and even
the old-fashioned flowers, which
grow in splendid abundance in
the yards of many rural farm
homes. The sale of farm pro-
ducts to strangers at retail
prices of the. locality, means
more than saving of a few dol
lars to the buyer; it means the
possession of sweet corn direct
from the stalk, beans direct from
the vine or pod, melons direct
from the vines and absolutely
fresh and unwithered vegetables
with all the sweet flavor provid-
ed by nature for the pleasing of
the taste. 1t means health and
happiness to the buyer and a
wider realization by the grower
of what it is possible for them
to accomphsh-in their gardens
and fields.
'The old-fashioned flowers in
the home yard, which some
housewife loves, inspires and re-
news the memories of other
days for the city and town dwell
lers, who are surfeited with the
splendid products of tanned hor-
ticulturists and the beautiful or
child productions of city hot
houses. The sight of the old.
fashioned flower beds bring back
sweet memories of days anC
youth in a happy home with {
family now many years scatter
ed. This is what the new con
crete road systems are bringing
to the people of the cities, whil
the opening of social inter
course with rural folks and com
munities revive the same mem
ories, the same experiences a
those of the rural people of tC
day. 1t is making new oppol
tunities for business and add
tions to the diverse income fc
that part of the country so fol
tunate as to be located directI
along one of the splendid ne
concrete roadways of today.

Indictments Following Fuller
and MCGEE Confessions
Likely Next Week.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. August 10.--The fed
eral grand jury has started to work
on the L. NJ. Fuller and the w. Frank
McGee confessions, which promise to
reveal the inside operations of the f.
NJ. Fuller & Co. brokerage house
which failed for $4,000, 900, and to in
yolve number of prominent persons.
Several witnesses, whose testimony
was based on the revelations of Full
Ter and MCGEE, were introduced by
United States Attorney Hayward,
who predicted there would be public
developments Monday He further
Indicated that 5000 or more creditors
among the bankrupt firms customers
would learn that there would be
small chance of their cashing in upon
the revelations of the bucketeers.
The identity of the witnesses called
before the grand jury was not re-
vealed. Their names were kept just
as secret as the whereabouts of the
Imprisoned brokers.
Much secrecy surrounds the visits

Half an hour later Greg was i'm

inside the cab. But there was moth
ing in the least suspicious about the
fashionable young gentleman riding
there. and the officer apologized. He
declined to state what he was look

ridicule.
Greg had Hickey drive him to the
office OF the Sphere newspaper, where,
in plenty of time for the morning
edition. he inserted two advertise
ments in the personal column. The
first read:

These few simple words were the
result of long process of selection
ana elimination on the way back to

girl would understand, but that no
one else in the world could.
