HOW CAN A POOR
MAN GET AHEAD?
The Accidental Bond That Enabled
Louis NJ. To Enlarge His Grocery
Store And Buy A Home.
By Samuel o. Rice, Educational Di-
rictor, Investments Bankers
Assn OF America

One of the frequently-used yard
sticks in measuring the accumulat-
ing ability of America before the
war was the fact that II million per-
sons had billion dollars in savings
accounts. That was considered
quite sizable, but is was soon put in
shadow when 21 million persons
brought forward % billion dollars
in five Liberty bond drives and by
the fact that savings accounts kept
right on growing. Now more than
80 million persons in this country
have savings accounts, which ap-
proximate IL billion dollars.
Many Liberty bonds have gone
from the hands of small holders to
be replaced by bucketshop receipts,
doubtful or worthless stocks or
faint memories. But the source of
all this wealth still remains, greater
than ever before. Wages have in
creased and the wealth in the hands

4O-ib. DRUM FISH
WITH ROD AND REEL

Charles S. Houk, of Newport, Del,
returned to his home a tired but
proud man last Saturday night, as
often the followers Of Izaak Walton
will. In his catch was a 40-pound
drumfsh, which he landed with rod
and reel off Bowers Beach after a
duel between himself and the den
izen of the deep, which lasted for
one hour and 25 minutes. Mr.. Drum
fish was on display in the window
of the Lambros cafe, in Wilmington
last Sunday, properly garnished.
Accompanied by party Of six or
eight other employees Of the Du Pont
Building, Mr.. Houk spent Memorial
Day fishing in the Delaware Bay.
Fifty-fve fish, including croakers,
trout, kingfish, the drqmfish and one
dog shark.
Mr.. Houk's feat was remarkable
as between 25 and 80 pounds is con-
sidered a mighty good weight for a
drumfsh down at Bowers.

of the average man and woman is
greater than ever before in America
That is why bucketshOps and frauds
are so persistent. 1t is the richest
field for fraud in the world. That
is also the reason why every possi-
BILE dollar should be kept in active
production of more wealth. Ameri-
cans demand more of the expanding
comforts of life. To meet that de-
.mand for better homes, autOmo-
biles and other necessities and lux
uries, the production of wealth must
be increased, and capital must be
supplied, if the distribution of
wealth is to be increased by industry
and commerce.
Louis M. is tiny, simple example
of the opportunity and need for
capital in legitimate enterprises to-
day. Louis M. runs the neighbor-
hood grocery in, an outlying district
in Chicago. When the after-war de-
preston struck, Louis M. had $1,000
saved from the profits of his one
man grocery store. Louis M. wished
to expand his business, but was
afraid during the hard times. A
YOuuS DOuu Dd4Col1ctA etCNAASASSAAJ
heard of Louis M. and his $1,000.
He sold attractive level. He was
lucky, too, He had bought of re-
putable investment bank. He might
almost as readily have bought a
worthless piece of paper from a
salesman who promised 10 per cen,
20 per cent, or anw eXtraVagant re-
turn that might seem god sales talk
When the depression passed Louis
sold his bond at an increased price
to make the first payment on a lit
tie home. Louis NJ. is on the road
to financial independence. But he
might still be a long ways from that
desirable road if the right kind of
securities dealer had not happened
to call on him, for Louis M, is like
so many thousands of other Amer
leans who do not know that before
you invest you should investigate,
not the security itself, but the in
tegrity and the capability of the
man or the firm that sells it.

FELTON,
Chautalqua AT FeliOn June 18th

Chautauqua AL EGiOn Jlne I0Cn
For the first time in several years,
FELTON, is to have a Chautauqua and
the program is under the direction
of the Radcliffe Company. 1t prom
ises a very interesting and enter
tanning three days, June 18th, 18th
and 10Th. The guaTantOrs expect to
receive generous support from the
people of FELTON, and vicinity, in this
effort to bring to FELTON, good,
clean entertainment, which is so ar
ranged as to please the many Varie-
ties and ideas of an audience. The
people certainly will assist by their
presence to help entertain all the
people in a fine program which will
help by making everybody happy.
lust remember the dates: June,
Saturday, 18th; Monday, June 18th,
and Tuesday, June 10th.
Memorial Day Quiet
The Memorial Day services in both
the Methodist Episcopal and the
Methodist Protestant Churches at
FELTON, were held last Sunday even
ing.
Memorial Day, Saturday, was
quietly observed by decoration Of the
graves in the cemetery with flow
ers.
Public Schools Close
The public schools Of FELTON, clos
ed for the year ending with June.
The Grange Hall was used for the
eighth grade on Tuesday evening
and the higher grades used the same
hall on Thursday evening and each
evening the capacity of the hall was
taxed to it's capacity limit.
Plants Are Standing Bad
Growers of sweet potatoes who
have set their fields, report that the
cold weather and dry days with eX-
cessive heat following the cold, has
caused the plants to wither and die.
This is a serious loss to many grow
ers whose beds have not started a
second growth of plants; these will
have to buy from others to replace
the dead plants in their helds'
The tomato plants have tallen VIC
tim to the same weather conditions
so that the farmers are hunting ev-
ervwhere for plants to reset the
fields. This is unfortunate, as the
outlook is that the prices will be
good next fall.
Strawberry Crop Is Small Yield
Those who grow strawberries re-
mort that the crop will be small;
not much over a half crop, but
prices have been very good for what
has gone to market. The late varle-
ties will be small, unless rain falls
copiously this week.
Children's Day services will be
held at the M. P. Church Sunday eV-
ening, June 9TH.
Mrs. Carson entertained recently
Mr.. and Mrs. o. Drake and son from
wilmington; also Major Smith from
the same city. They also had Mrs.
RAYMOND Alexander and daughter
on Saturday.
Thomas Harrington had friends
from Wilmington over Sunday.

"GIVE AND TAKE"
COmedy-Drama

Of the play. This may be somewhat
exaggerated, perhaps the laugh did
die down to chuckle during the in
termissions, but some of the folks
made up for that by chuckling every
once in a while for several days af-
terward whenever they thought Of
the play. So it behooves all who like
to laugh to see it.
The leading role is played by Ed
gar Flavelle, who is Studio Director
of the Swarthmore Chautauqua As
sociation. During the past year he
has been touring our circuits in the
leading role in "The Bubble" anoth-
er Louis Mann success.
Amy Flavelle will play the female
lead. Wayne Wilson is the son, Will
liam Pfarr the foreman, and Diller
Worst is the grasping banker.
This competent cast, special seem
cry, and a fine play insure a first
class production here.

The Question
of Price

IF the milk distributors can get
all the quality milk they need at
low price, dairy farmers must offer
milk at the low price or seek an
other market for their product.
If the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange, because Of it's economi-
cal methods of assembling orders
and of distributing feeds, is able to
sell at a low price to all farmers de-
string feeds of high quality and able
to pay cash for them, obviously
other distributors of feed must sell
at as low a price or lose their share
of the type Of business to which the
Exchange caters.
Straight thinking farmers, there
fore, do not require their Exchange
to agree to undersell other distri-
butors. They know that the Eas-
tern States Farmers Exchange
can name only it's own prices. They
know that so long as their Exchange
holds it's overhead down, it will in
fuence downward the whole level
of prices, and that they will never
see again any appreciable price diff
ferential between Eastern States
Farmers Exchange prices and
other prices.
These farmers know that when
the Eastern States Farmers EX-
change entered their respective ter
ritories, it's feeds were considerably
lower in price than were feeds of
similar quality distributed by priv
ate enterprise. They know that
since the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange is still distributing its
feeds to them at cost of less than
go, it is serving them as economi-
cally as it did before prices became
adjusted to the lower level and
when the buying of supplies through
the Exchange was obviously econo-
mical and wise.
Farmers like Eastern States
quality and will continue to buy it
through the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange, understanding fully why
other prices are at Eastern States
levels.

slant supply Of quality fe eds

COMMUNITY AND HEALTH DAY

November 81 has been designat-
ed as Community and Health Day for
this year. 1t is desirable that every
member of the community should
have attended the inspiring exer-
cises of Education Week several
times before the close of school Fri
day afternoon. These visits to the
school will have prepared everybody
for the coming together of the com
munity on Saturday. The school
house is the logical community CEN
ter and the meeting should be held
there unless a larger building is
found necessary. In some Southern
States open air exercises may be
most desirable and in many locali-
ties there will be picnics and games.

FIRE DANGERS OF
ANTHRACITE FAMINE

Like most emergencies, the an
thracite coal famine presents GER
tain fire hazards not realized by the
general public, it was pointed out
recently by W. E. Mallalieu, Cen
eral Manager of The National Board
OF Fire Underwriters, who issued a
number of precautions designed to
prevent loss of life and property
by fire due to the greater use of
soft coal, wood, kerosene, electri-
tutes for hard coal.
"One of the important safety
measures" said Mr.. MallaIieu. "is
to see that smokepipes and fues
are thoroughly cleaned before the
furnace is started. Soft coal burns
more rapidly than anthracite and
gives off considerably more flame,
gas and SCOT; thus it increases the
probability of chimney fire where
nues are not attended to.
The radiated heat from the
smokepipe leading to the chimney
is also greater than when authra- |
cite is burned, and this increases
the chances of igniting woodwork |
)r other cOmbustible material near |
BY. ''
The hazard will be particularly
acute where furnaces are designed
or the use of anthracite only and
n order to overcome the additional
hangers created by substituting BIZ
luminous coal, or wood, precautions
mould also be taken to shield
woodwork near furnaces, stoves
nd smokepipes, with asbestos and
heet metal. Soft coal requires
1ore air for proper consumption so
hat drafts and feed doors should
e adjusted accordingly.
Fires from defective chimneys
nd hues are fairly certain to in
rease, because of the greater heat
enerated by the substituted fuel
lentioned, the larger amount of
Dot created, and the embers given
1t should be remembered. too.

ENNSY'S NEW PRODUCE
YARD AT PHILADELPHIA

The management of the PennsyI
ania Railroad authorize the fol
pwing announcement of an i'm
Ortant improvement which will in
Prest all growers and shippers Oi
uits and vegetables consigned to
e Philadelphia market.
The Pennsylvania Railroad will
the near future begin the con-
ruction, in South Philadelphia, of
new produce yard and other ex-
nsive facilities for the most eff
ent handling of the city's rapidly
lowing fruit and vegetable traffic,
bw approximating 10000 carloads
sarly.
The new yard will be located on
41-acre tract, which the Company
S purchased, between Delaware
venue on the east, Vandalia Aven-
on the west, Packer Avenue on
e north and Pattison Avenue on
e south. 1t will lie just south
est of the Pennsylvania Green
lch Coal Piers.
The facilities authorized by the
bard of Directors for immediate
Instruction, as soon as proper bids
received and approved, will ade-
ately care for the traffic existing
now in sight. At the same time
Se large area embraced by the
rd, together with it's relationship
the other facilities of the Penn
lvania Railroad in South Phila-
lphia and the general plan of i'm
OVements there, will provide for |
most indefinite expansion to COW
any further growth in the traffic
'hich the future may bring.
With the construction of the new !
rd, the existing facilities of the
sRnsylvania Railroad in West
iladelphia for handling fruit and
'getable traffic, at 30th and Mar
: Streets and 31st and Chestnut
reets, will be discontinued, and
traffic of this character will be
'hcentrated in the South Philadel-
|ia yard.
/ n addition to providing in a
sch more effective manner for the
|quirements of the city's provi-
ln trade and encouragement of its
bwth, the building of the new yard
permitting the abandonment of
