Overheard WITH THE sCUTTLERs

Not for punitive purposes but as measure
of self preservation, the Republican party
should set it's face firmly against the astounding
proposal that public officials elected as Repub-
licans, who in the last campaign passively or
actively sought the defeat of the Republican ma
tional ticket, shall be permitted to participate
in Republican councils or be accorded recogni-
tion as Republicans.
Unless Republican leadership possesses the
courage and wisdom to obey the clear command
of the people at the polls on November to ac-
cept party responsibility, party appeal to pub
lie opinion cannot successfully be made in the
congressional elections of two years or the pres
idential election of four years hence.
This years national election was an epochal
triumph Of courage and common sense The
Republican national campaign was based upon
the theory that party nomenclature must be
reality and not fraud. The open and implied
pledges of this campaign should not now be
fepudiated or forgotten.
Senator La Toilette announces that he returns
to Washington to coordinate and reorganize the
forces behind him preliminary to the next cam
paign. Shall he and his sympathizers be permit
ted longer to plan from within the Republican
camp an attack upon the Republican position?
The pusilanimity of such course is incon-
ceivable. Against it would arise wave of pro-
test from the rank and file of Republicanism, and
from honest men in general, certain to submerge
all those responsible for such betrayal of party
and public trust.
Overheard with the scuttlers if they are suf-
hciently lacking in honor and self-respect to
longer demand liberation from the crew of the
ship they have vainly sought to sink!-National
Republican.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER S. 1924
MANY DEPOsIToRs ARE SAID to start

Christmas Club accounts because they regard
ordinary savings accounts as almost sacred, says
the Baltimore Sun. The money put into these
latter, they think, must be left untouched except
in case of emergency, whereas Christmas Club
deposits may be legitimately spent. One can
sympathize with this point of view. 1t is hardly
just, however, to regard proper expenditures at
Christmas as wasteful, and, on the other hand,
Christmas Clubs do not make extravaganza COM
mendable.

SHINGLE ROOFS are the greatest fire danger
that exist in not only on the farms of Delaware,
but in the towns and on factories they form a
danger against which the public has as yet not
realized, as the source for great loss by fires.
At the present cost of building materials, the
safety from fire that is eliminated by using eth
er asbestos, metal or some form of Stag roofing
far oVerbaances the very slight cost, If any, be-
tween a fire proof roof and that of shingle
roof Old wooden structures have stood in the
business parts of most towns on the Delmarvia
Peninsula for nearly a century, and these are
real fire traps and a cause for anxiety to other
property owners; but the shingle roof many
squares distant from the scene of fire, is
tinder box which only requires favorable wind
to carry the burning brands to them, to start
other fires in widely scattered places, which can
easily be the source from which devastating
confagration will result.

The action of the Republican Senatorial eau
Gus in reading La Toilette and his followers out

meets with approval of real party men.

ONLY A FEW PEOPLE in Milford, or in any
community in Delaware, are awake to the fact,
that organized play is a part of child's educa-
ton. 1t is also unfortunate that so few parents
know that exercise for boy or girl must be
along an intelligent plan, prepared with pur-
pose to develop all the muscles of the child's
body and at the same time, stimulate the brain
to act and exercise judgment as well as develop
the habit of making quick decisions. This is
what organized play for the school children
means and it as important as the study Of the
cries or practice in class work It helps in
health conditions both in and out of the schools.
In discussing this important part Of school life'
Mable Travis Wood, of the Playground and Rec
reation Association of America says:
Every community needs to realize as soon as
possible that supplying directed play is not phil
anthropy, but precious responsibility. Giving
boys and girls an education has long been con-
sidered a public duty. Just as necessary to
making them good citizens is filling their leis-
ure hours with recreation that builds their bod
les, safeguards them from the dangers to life
and morals of play in the streets, teaches them
fair play and develops initiative"
In the schools children learn how to work.
how to play and, best of all, how to live together
happily.

How Long Can Georgia Feed Herself
f. A. B., Atlanta, Ca. writes:
If Georgia was cut off from all
outside sources of supply, how
long do you think she could feed
herself?
If Georgia were Immediately cut
off from all outside sources of supa
ply, she would find herself in a seri-
Gus situation for one year. After
that, I think we would adjust oura
selves very acceptably. If the peo~
pie of Georgia had known on Janu.
airy 1 of the present year that they
would have to live wholly upon their
own resources, think there would
have been enough food crops plant-
ed, cultivated, and harvested to
care for the needs Of our popula-
ton. There is no reason why We
should not be a very great feed and
food producing state. The fetich
of all,cotton has led us astray In
this particular. There Is belief
among many of our people, as you
fully appreciate and understand, that
we can buy many things cheaper
than we can produce them. I do
not agree with this conclusion, nor
do I think it can be demonstrated to
be basically sound.
/ have not written this statement
in any moment of enthusiasm. but
after mature and careful deliberas
ton. Whenever our people are
thrown on their own resources IN
the matter of producing a sufficient
food supply to care for our needs,
we will respond to the call in q
manner that will surprise our own
people and the rest of the nation an
well. Previous to the War Between
the States, our people fed them'
selves, This was largely due to the
fact that they had it to do, as they
had no adequate means of transpcr.
tation at their disposal. l am there
fore not thorizing about what Geor.
gia can do in the matter OF supply
ing the food requirements OF her
population. It is true that we have
much larger towns and cities than
pertained sixty.five years ago ana
that our population has increased.
but our facilities and capacity Tor
the production of fundamental food
crons have also materially en-
larged.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
On HEART AND HOME

in paying for the error of her youth
than there Is why mans should.
Why shouldn't man forgive
The kind of lives they are going to
live after marriage is much more
important than the kind of life they
lived before marriage.
Dear Miss Dix: How can l get an
evening off to myself? l am engaged
to a young man who is too attentive
to me. Every night he comes with
his little ring at the door, and I
never have an evening to myself
when I can do just as | please. You
know n girl has her stockings to
darn, her clothes to mend, sewing
to do and lots of other things, and
I should help my poor mother a lit
tie. But with my steady putting in
full time, it is impossible. Also 1
think that he should stay at home
sometimes and do something useful
for his mother, say, cut wood and
bring up the coal. Likewise, l think
that he should buy his mother some
chocolates instead of bringing so
many to me.
How can I get about three nights
off week for myself? e. M.
Answer:
Couldn't you go on a strike and
demand Mondays and Wednesdays
and Fridays off? Or, what's the mat
ter with the convenient headache
that has always been woman's
standby in times of boredom? Can't
you fall back upon that faithful
ally?
But what a foolish young man
your sweetheart is not to sense that
he is wearing his welcome out, and
that you are getting fed up with his
society! Some one should give him
a tip to the effect that wise lover
should always keep a girl wishing
that he would come a little oftener
and stay a little later instead of
dreading his coming and wondering
why he doesn't go home.
The slang phrase, You make me
tired" expresses the limit of human
establishment, and this is a thing
that lovers do we'll to bear in mind,
for the people who make us weary,
whose conversation has ceased to in
terest us, who have come to bore us,
have lost a charm that there is no
TSSdlnlIS.
And, alas! this is the fate of all
of whom we see too much They
talk out. We have heard all Of their
stories. We have listened to all of
their adventures. We know what
they are going to say before they
say it and We yawn in their faces.
1t Is the occasional visitor who Is
always entertaining and interesting.
1t Is the lovers who meet but seldom
who bring ardent longing to the in
terview.
Propinquity is the great match
maker, but it is also the great match
breaker.
OF course, you can put the child In
an orphan asylum. And probably
that is the best thing for you to do,
because a mother with a baby finds
It impossible to take care of it prop
erly and earn a living for it, too.
Nor does the mother encountered
with child find it easy to set work.
If you care more for the child than
yourself, and your mother love is
great enough to make you willing to
part with it for its own good, it
might be best to let some couple who
are able to care for it adopt the
child. Legitimate babies are in de-
mand, and the superintendent OF the
hospital can usually arrange the
matter. DOROTHY DIX.

a fine man, who fell desperately in
love with her, as she did with him,
but she tried In every way to dis
courage this man. She has told
him all about the error Of her youth
and why she thinks it best not to
marry, but the man refuses to give
her up and says that her attitude
is evidence enough that she will re-
main on the straight and narrow
path.
What do you think of this love
affair? Should the girl step out Of
his life, as she thinks she should,
and give him an opportunity to find
someone more worthy of him than
she? Or should she do as he asked
her: forget the past and live for
the future? MRS. r. M.
Answer: I think she should do as
the man wants her to do. If he is
big enough and wise enough to wash
off the slate and start afresh, there
is no reason why they should not
be happy and make their marriage
a success.
Because a woman has been gull
ty of an indiscretion in her youth
is no indication that she is of an
immoral nature and that she is
not to be trusted On the contrary,
many a girl who has taken a step
on the downward path is filled with
such a horror Of it, and repents 1T
in such bitterness and tears as
makes her a better woman than the
so-called good women. And just be-
cause she has had such a terrible
lesson, she walks warily among the
pitfalls all the balance of her life.
Some Of the noblest women in the
world, women whose souls have
been purified by suffering, some Of
the most generous, and plying, and
understanding women are women
who have a dark chapter in
their past, who have stumbled,
and fallen, and picked them
selves, up and climbed out of the
pit into righteousness.
Christ said to the Magdalene,
Neither do I condemn thee. Go and
sin no more" So should we all say
to the repentant woman who is lead.
ing a good life. We should give her
a helping hand, not push her down,
as we do if we refuse to let her
come back.
There is no more reason why a
womans whole life should be spent

Managing An Overgrown Crop of
Rye
L. B. p, Jefferson, Ga,
writes: l have a piece of gray
land that l sowed in peas last
year, turned the vines under and
sowed the land to rye in Sep.
tember with the intention of
turning the rye under in April
and sowing the land again in
peas in May or June, for the
purpose of turning the vines
again to make the land better for
a 1924 crop. On account of I'M
favorable weather I was unable
to get the rye plowed under and
1t is headed out now. What can
do with the rye for best re-
suits? Is it too late to turn it
under?
1t would be difficult and unsatis-
factory to turn rye under after it
has headed out. When the crop
reaches this stage, it tends to
ripen and dry out rapidly. 1t is as
tonishing how completely the ma.
turity of a crop of rye pumps the
water out of the surface of the soil.
As result, when you attempt to
break the land and turn the rye
under, the ground, as rule, is very
cloddy and lumpy and difficult to
work down into satisfactory seed.

tlce therefore to pillow our rye under
and when it is about one foot high
cut and cure it for hay. The time
to do this is when the grains are
in the early dough stage. The stub.
BILE may then be broken after a good
rain and a fine seedbed prepared in
which to plant peas, or such summer
hay-producing or grain crops as YOU
may wish to plant. When the land
is broken in the spring, it is neces
sary, as rule, to harrow it in order to
insure the development of a fine
seeded and restore the movement
of the capillary water from the lower
areas OF the soil to the surface. I'm.
less this is done, grain seeded on
the land will not terminate satisfac.
