girl to remember always is that wild
demonstrations of love cannot be
forced. Love is a thing of moods-not
of laws. A recognition of the big prin-
cipie of give and take-a spirit OF
open mindedness in accepting differ
ence Of opinion in all matters great
and small, and big #generousness in
forgetting words hastily spoken
these make up the lasting capital in
marriage that insure happiness.

Well, H. H. you do have your trou-
bles, don't you? and of course, the
only thing you can do is to talk things
over with this wonderful girl. If she
is as wonderful as you think, and we
hope for your sake she is, she will
understand, and perhaps ii she likes
her position, she, will want to continue
working after the wedding, in order to
hasten the happy day. AS for breaking
money means that much to her, it
would be the wisest thing that could
happen.
You know, H. H.. there is no telling
what women will do. You think she
hasn't any idea of how small your sal
airy is, but have a bunch that if she
has known you for two years, she
knows great deal more about your
business affairs than you think she
does. Naturally, she can't tell you
about it, That's your job.
In the first place, there's a world of
difference between two of your state-
ments. Not being able to support
wife at all, and not being able to sup
port her in the way she has been ac-
custOmed to, are two different things.
If yous are unable to support her, you
would be nothing less than cad to
marry her. But if you are able to sup
port her. even though it be on a small
er scale, i see no reason why you
course, just how things stand If she
loves you, she may be willing to take
a chance.
To a sentimental, romantic person.
1t may be rather shock to be told
that every girl should know the
amount of her future husbands pay
check. Common sense and self-interest
demand that couple talk in terms of
dollars before marriage 1t is a great
deal better to talk money before mar
riage than to learn after marriage that
you cannot keep up a home.
am not advocating that a man
should not marry until he can supper
a wife in luxury In fact, think few
bumps will do lot toward bringing
them closer together. 1t doesn't take a
fortune for couple to marry on Mar
riage, however, does mean making a
pay check sufficient to cover the nee
essities with few dollars left over
to save for "a rainy day" There
should be frank discussion of finan-
ces before wedding date is thought
of.

IN CASE OF LOTS OF LOVE AND
LITTLE CASH

Dear Miss Flo:
| have been going with a wonderful
girl for almost two years. While wa
have often talked of marriage, | have
hesitated ait an immediate wedding.
Consequently, she believes that | do
not love her that | am playing with
her. The fact of the matter is, | am
not sure of myself. | am not sure that
/ can support wife, because my sal
airy is quite small. We have never talk
ed over the financial end of the sub
ject, so | don't suppose my sweetheart
has the slightest idea of how very
small my salary is. | have tried sever
al times to tell her, but somehow, my
courage always fails me. l may be-
rather sentimental, but it seems to me-
the question of money should never
enter into the question of love. Then,
too, ii she knows how darn small my
salary is, | am afraid she will want
to break off. She has very good po-
sitiOn, and while | do not know just
what her salary is, do know that she
always buys the best of everything.
Therefore, am quite sure that | could
not support her and keep home on
my earnings. That is, | couldn't sup
port her as we'll as she is supporting
herself. When | tell her that we can
not get married for at least another
year or two, she tells me that if |
loved her, | wouldn't want to wait
don't want to, but what's fellow go
ing TO do?

All wedding presents should be sent
to the bride, regardless of whether or
not you know her.. The reason for
this is that the gift really belongs to
the bride. Aside from her claim to the
gift, it is courteous acknowledge
ment which the lady will appreciate.

Hon. George A. Schilling is one of
the best and most favorably known
citizens among the great citizenship
Of Chicago, he has been active in
Trade Unions and progressive move
ments since he was seventeen years
Of age. For more than thirty years
he has been a strong follower and
disciple Of the late Henry George,
father Of the single tax movement in
this country; during the administra-
ton Of the heroic governor, John P.
Altgeld of Illinois. Mr.. Schilling was
appointed secretary Of the department
of labor of Illinois, and he discharged
ali the duties of his Office with honor
and credit to himself and to the peo-
pie of this state. In 1908 Mayor
Carter H. Harrison selected him as
a member Of the Board Of Local I'm
provements, served as president Of the
Board under Mayor Edward F. Dunno
and was re-appointed BY Mayor Har
rison in 1911, serving as president for
four years and in all Of those posi-

Schilling has enjoyed fair share Of
public Office but he cares little or moth
ing for official titles. He prefers to
be known as the disciple Of the late
Henry George, who inaugurated the
movement that seeks to overthrow
every monopoly and thereby establish
equal opportunity to all the children
of men.
It can be truthfully said to the
everlasting credit Of Mr. Schilling,
that while he was secretary of the
department of labor Of this state, he
gained the unbounded confidence of
the late Governor, John P Altgeld,
who was always favorably disposed
toward the colored race, and it was
Mr.. Schilling who induced Governor
Altgeld to admit the old Ninth Bat
talon which later on became the ia
nous Eighth Regiment, into the Illi-
nois National Guard, and that act on
the part Of Mr. Schilling has endeared
him into the hearts OF the colored
people Of Illinois for all time to come.
Mr. Schilling and the writer have
been the warmest Of friends for
twenty-six years, and he has been a
constant supporter Of this newspaper

YOUNG NEGRO SHOOTS HIS
STEP'FATHER THEN FIGHTS
Sherman Van, Jr, Used Revolver On
Jake Van at Their Home In JimtOWn

Jake Van narrowly escaped seri-
GUS injuries on Monday evening
when Sherman Van, Jr., pulled a re-
volver on him and fred point blank.
The bullet grazed Jake's right fore
arm and cut the skin off. Both men
are negroes and reside in Jimtown.
Presence Of mind of the man prob
ably saved him from more serious
injury, for he rushed at Sherman
and disarmed him just as he shot
the second time. This bullet, how
ever, did not take effect. The row
ended in a fight between the two
men which brought the police Off
GERS. Both of them were locked I'D
and on Tuesday morning a charge
Of disorderly conduct was preferred
against them before Magistrate Hem
drixson. They were fined $1,000 and
costs each. Sherman was able to
escape the shooting charge by rea-
ION Of the fact that the officers could
lot find the revolver, and Jake
would not press the charge.
Both negroes are about the same
lge; but Jake Van has married the
mother of Sherman Van. According
o Jake he was sitting in a chair
Vhen his step-sOn crept up behind

Continues In Charge.

The State Board of Agriculture
met at the DUPONT Hotel in Whining
ton last Friday with o. A. Newton
president, of Bridgeville, presiding.
and Ralph c. Wilson, secretary
present. Discussion and ARRANGEMENT
Tor the fifteenth annual egg-laying
competition at Milford occupied a
considerable part of the time. The
competition is held on the grounds
OF the State Board of Agriculture.
One hundred pens of five birds each
embracing the most prominent varie-
ties OF the various breeds, make up
the competition and include several
pens from England. This competition
mas been running for a number of
years, and has become so popular
that the last state legislature made
special provision for its support.
The competition is in charge of
Frank Vadakin, a well known pouI- |
try expert, who not only manages
this affair but finds time to Gull
about $4,000 chickens in the season.
BY observing the conformation of
the bird and it's various peculiari-
lies of structure, it is easy to deter
mine whether the bird is capable of

CANNERY INSPECTOR JOB
MAY Be UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Opinion Given By AttOrney-G General
Seems To Bear This Out

In view of the question raised by
some one as to the constitutionality
of the Act passed in 1915, as to the
creation and appointment of State
Cannery Inspector, and a reply re-
ceived by State Auditor NJ. M. Har-
ringtOn from the Attorney General,
which has been submitted to Gov
ernOr Robinson, it would appear
that the Office of State Cannery In
spector is invalid and as much, in
operative. The Appointment made
some weeks ago by Governor Robin
son of Harvey M. Short, of StockIey,
as cannery inspector is apparently
of no effect
The opinion from Attorney-Gen-
eral Switzerland, sent to State Aud
itor Harrington, states that there
are grave doubts as to the consti-
tutionality of the Act.
The law has been in existence
since 1915 and each Governor since
that time has appointed a State
Cannery Inspector without appar-
emily no question as to the validity
of the Act and when Governor Rob-

A misunderstanding over the UNI

County League has resulted in the
refusal of Harrington to play
Georgetown any more of the sched-
uled games. H. E. Quillen, manager
of the Harrington team, and also
treasurer of the Sussex County
League, on Monday sent letter to
Bud Coy, president of the league, in
which he outlined Harrington's po-
sition in the controversy. Mr.. Quill
len contends that the umpiring re-
ceived in Saturdays game was in
competent and that Harrington out
played the county seat boys. The
same complaint was made by the
Milford team after playing an extra
inning game at Georgetown a few
weeks ago. Just what will be the
outcome of the Harrington-GeOrg
town misunderstanding so far as it
affects the league generally is not
known; but should Harrington with
draw it certainly will cripple the
league. The letter addressed to
