Bowers Beach

Some of the best bird dogs in Del
aware are owned here in Bowers
and the owners derive great pleas
ure hunting them daily. Birds are
plentiful in nearby territory. The
quail of today is a different quail
from the kind in years gone by. For
instance go back to 1905 when the
severe winter killed 20 per cent of
lower Delaware's birds. The late Col.
Thomas Brison of Wilmington and
lJ. P. Cross put hundreds of quail
called Kansas quail which are diff
kerent in habits from the original
delaware quail. The native bird fed
the old rag weed fields, and spent
several hours of the day at different
Intervals feeding while the Kansas
Ybird formerly; but now Delaware
bird, by adoption, feed shortly after
daybreak, and a while before sun
down. Instead of the old rag weed
fields, the new bird feeds in the
fields where soy beans have been, or
are growing, and then returns to the
woods for shelter. The rabbit hunt
ers find more birds than the bird
hunters, as the birds spend nearly
all of the day under cover.

One doesn't hear much nowadays
about the several hundred million
dollars a year the sugar tariff was
going to cost the American con-
sumer. With present prices of re-
fined sugar at 400 cents per pound
net cash, free traders cannot ex-
tract much sweetness from the fig
ures.
Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27

Judging by the way some motor
lists insist upon their everlasting
honk-honk, they must imagine the
horns pull the cars.
Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27

What is the answer? Well in the
first place there is big supply of
sugar, and it is so big because the
American beet sugar growers have
raised a large crop in competition
with the Cuban cane sugar crop,
and they have been able to do this
because the tariff protected them.
Said the New York Times recent
/ ly: Raw sugar sold at two cents a
pound Cuban basis, the lowest price
since January, 1922. Some people in
/ the trade look for 13I cent sugar
exclusive of duty before long, be-
cause of the inability of the normal
demand to absorb the abundance of
raw sugar"
The trouble with Mr.. Purcell is
that his new social and political
ideas are not new at all. They have
been tried out in some form or
other by every civilization since
written history began. and doubt
less before that. They have been
tested on a big scafe and on
small scale and have always failed,
just as the latest and biggest ex-
pertinent of Russia is failing.
Many a so-called economist has
prided himself on discovering some
thing new, when in fact he has only
rediscOvered for himself, something
that is older than the Christian era,
and which has been discarded as
unwOTkable many times in the past
1t was not until the trainers of our
Constitution completed their work
at Philadelphia that the world was
given something new in government
Congressman Nicholas Longworth
said recently: Another thing which
profoundly impressed me and gives
me growing delight is that we are
not in any way tangled up with
membership in the League of Ma
tiOns. l favor a helping hand in
stabilizing business and industry of
the world but we can do it better
from the outside. am against any
kind of an agreement in advance to |
do or not to do anything at the be-
hest of anyone else. If my friends |
are in maelstrom, I can help them |
better by reaching out a hand from
the bank than by diving in with
them" Mr.. LOngworth usually
says the right thing at the right
Tine. That is why he wins success
IS a leader.
Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27

If there were no American
crop the Cuban sugar owners con
do to the sugar prices what the
British rubber growers have done
to rubber prices. And on the other
hand, when Mr.. Firestone gets his
big rubber plantations going in
Liberia he will do to British rubber
prices what the American sugar has
helped to do to Cuban sugar prices.
So there you are.
OF course prices generally respond
to the laws of supply and demand.
and these cannot be repealed or
amended. But the sugar tariff has
helped by increasing the supply
through the beet sugar growers.
Unable to grow rubber in America
we have had to depend on foreign
rubber with the result that we are
now in a time of abundance, paying
war time prices for automobile
tires.
Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27

Just what, if anything, will be
done, is hard to say. The people
insist on public improvements, and
these cost money. And it takes
high tax rates to raise the money.
Economy in administering local gov
ernment will, of course, help some
The problem is worth pondering
over. For the man who solves it will
gain greater fame and accomplish
more than he who finally reaches the

We have advanced ideas in busi-
ness and advanced ideas about our
workers, ideas which make them
the freest and the most prosperous
workers in the world. And we have
the farthest advanced government.
If you don't believe it, look at the
income taxi returns, the salaries
and wages, the savings banks de-
pOsits and the life Insurance re-
cords. Watch John Doe as he whiz-
zes back and forth to work with his
dinner pail in the back seat of his
Then compare this
the picture in Europe. After all it
is the results which count.
Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27

Rubber is high because the Brit
ish interests control the output and
fix their own prices by curtailing
the supply. We cannot raise rubber
in the United States and furnish no
competition to the British. If we
had a rubber crop of our own to
supply American automobile manu-
facturers rubber prices would now
be lower and we would not be pay
ing so much for our automobile
tires.
Mr.. Purcell was only half right.
Our industrial organization is far
advanced but we were also the first
to advance and accept the newest
and most successful political idea.
In fact we perfected it ourselves in
1887 and are proud of it. That is
why all Of us, regardless of whether
we are bankers, farmers. doctors or
workers. keep sloOf from commun-
ism. We are afraid that the effect
of our original idea will be injured
or destroyed.
Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27

The American Constitution is the
latest and best thing in social and
political ideas. It was sprung on
the world just 1873 years ago and
was declared by many economists
OF Europe to be revolutionary and
unworkable. The results have sur
prised the civilized world and we
are today, capitalist and worker
alike, the envied nation of the globe
Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27

! 1t is an odd coincidence that on
the same page of the Times was a
story to the effect that rubber prices
had again risen and were in the
neighborhood of a dollar a pound.
So here we have the situation. Pro-
tected sugar is selling at the lowest
price in three years and free rubber
is going at the highest price since
the war days.
This was a real representative
government, government of
checks and balances, with the dut-
les of the executive, the legislative
and the judicial departments inter-
locking and clearly defined. And
the most marvellous thing was that
it worked and has continued to
work until this day. AS the people
have followed it they have prosper
ed, and it was only when they stray
ed away from the constitutional
path that the nation has suffered.
The average farmer and the
small home owner cannot expect to
be benefited much further by in
come tax reduction, because the next
cut will place them practically be-
yong the pale of the income tax col
lectOr. But while they will not do
much toward providing income tax,
they will continue to do more than
their share toward paying the taxes
in the local community. 1t is there
that the burden falls upon the aver
age man, and it will, by the nature
of things continue to bear heavily
until something is done at home to
relieve it.

The entire country applauded
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor,
when he scathingly rejected the
plea of Arthur A. Purcell, visiting
British delegate to the American
Federation convention, that Ameri-
can labor establish close fraternal
relations with the labor of soviet
Russia.
Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27

Mr.. Purcell said that it had often
struck him that while the Ameri-
cans have been the most advanced
and the most receptive in ideas con-
cerning mechanical invention and
business organization they have
been most slow in accepting new
social and political IDEAS"

TOXIC, March 4.-Miss Tsune Ka-

to be buried alive in the foundations
OF the new temple to be built near

Tradition says that some 800 years
ago girl of TOXIC was at her own
request inferred in the central pillar
of Asakusa Temple, and the popular
belief is that her sacrifice saved the
edifce in the earthquake disaster of
September, 1929.
Times have changed in Japan, how
ever, and Miss Tsune's offer was re-
fused, so she and SO other maidens
of the town offered their tresses in
stead. and these will lie under the
