In his work. In his own language, ''When 1 was lawyer, my nose was always in law book; and when I got into public life, I had to read public documents to keep up with my work" It may be doubted whether from yodng man to the present, the President has read more than few works of general literature, or of any books outside the field of history, economies, and biography-these be- ing directly related to his public serv- ice.
 Regularity in House
 The President has no recreations of the usual kind. He does not play cards or other games that while the time away. ...
 The Presidents habits of repose are based upon the sound old maxim. Ear. ly to bed, early to rise." Nothing is allowed to interfere with this part O. his daily regime; and to this SC. we're regularity of sleep his constant good health may be ascribed.

SAFE FARMING,
 STATE SLOGAN
Planters In Large Num- bers Expected To Carry
 Out Auburn Program

AUBURN, Ala, March 23.-(Spe- cial. )-Alabama farmers in large num- bers, will practice safe farming this year. The total number who will do this cannot be determined, but the fact that each of the 57 counties of the state having a county demonstra- ton agent has adopted a safe farm ing program is definite assurance that literally thousands of farmsrs will do so.
 With three or four exceptions the county program in each county gives special attention to cotton, the big money crop in Alabama. The main idea in cotton production is mot more acres in cotton, but more cotton to the acre."
 The poison program as outlined by Dr. W. F. Kinds calls flor one ap- plication of either dry calcium arsenate or mixture of calcium arsenate and syrup before squares begin to form, and three applications of dry calcium arsenate at intervals of four or five days, beginning when ten per cent. of the squares show weevil punctures. Production of ample food and feed for home needs is another strong feature of state, county and community safe farming program. This is expected to be done on part of the land which in previous years has been growing cotton. Soil building by summer ant winter legumes, by terracing, and by greater diversity of crops, will be given major consideration.

 "Washington. He fixed the type"

 Its pretty hard to compare them.'
 Silence for half a block-mistakenly interpreted by his companion as the conclusion of that subject. But the President for once initiates the con versation; evidently he has been pom dering the question.
 Should say Washington was the better judge of a man; Lincoln was the better judge of men"
 You mean that Washington was the better judge of the particular man to fit the particular job?"
 "Yes." (Pause.) T have never heard of another man like Washington in history; he never made single mis- take in judgment. At least so far as I have read"
 And you mean that Lincoln was the better judge of the mind and heart of the common mass of men?'

WHY ELECT DU PONTf
(From Sunday Starr

A friend and reader of The Star
asks how we can so earnestly advo-
cate the election of Coleman du
Pont to the United States Senate, in
view of the fact that our paper has
always been politically Independent.
The question is welcome. Our friend
has evidently confused the words
independent" and neutral" We are
independent" but rarely neutral" q"
We advocate the election of Coleman
du pOnt for two good reasons
First-We believe Gen. du Pont
can render greater real service to
both Delaware and the Nation than
any other Delawarean who can be
sent to the Senate.
Second-We believe the people of
Delaware deeply regret and are
heartily ashamed of the treatment
accorded Gen. du Pont two years
ago. We believe they are eager to
make amends for it. We know they
sincerely appreciate the great SER
vice he has done his state, and we
think that as an evidence of that ap-
probation they will be glad to be-
stow upon him the highest honor
within their gift.
