They looked beyond their little
window sills and saw the earth
spread out in a great plain. What
could be stronger proof that the
world was flat? When some few
rebels advanced the theory that
the world was round they hooted
at them, and did even ruder
things. Who wants to be pes.
tered by silly idiot who declares
that the world Is round when
any rational man can see that It
is flat?
And yet, the world was round
all the time.
They could not see the curve IN
that flat spread OF plain but 1t
was there. And, at last, when
many men had followed that
curve, terrorized lest they should
fall off the edge any minute, and
yet returned in safety to tho
starting place, then other men
began to believe in that curve.
Now we all believe in the round
ness of the world, though but
few of us have gone around the
world to prove the fact.

you.
You look beyond your little win.

There" you cry, that's the
proof that there is no justice.
See that endless, dead level OF
selfishness and greed. 1t has
never altered in all the ;-ges
since man began. 1t existed for
our fathers-it exists for us-ig

say there is a God or a good

SHOW DEBUT

The Nash-built Ajax makes its
initial appearance this year as an
a;raction at the automobile show.
The Ajax exhibit, consisting OF
fiye-passenger, four-door sedan, i've
passenger touring car and chassis,
form one of the outstanding attrac-
tons OF the big exposition.
Eleven thousand Ajax cars Nhave
been purchased since its formal in
PRODUCTION to the public last May
and for months past the new Nash
built car has been a familiar sight
on the streets OF most cities
throughout the United States and in
many countries abroad.
OF particular interest to show
visitors is the fact that in no other
motor car selling at the Ajax price
may be found all the following I'M
portant Ajax engineering features;
Y-bearing crankshaft. 6-bearing cam:
shaft, full force feed fabrication to
all main bearings, connecting rod
bearings and crankshaft bearings.
4-wheel brakes, duco finish andAoIsc
wheels. And added to these are
many other advanced features dis
tinctive with the Ajax in its price
field.
Both sedan and touring models
are beautifully moulded from nick
eled radiator shell to spare Budd
disc wheels. the attractiveness OF
the body lines being enhanced by a
double bead at the belt line and low
hung chassis frame, assuring as
well road steadiness at practically

The sedan is upholstered in

industry, the Hudson Motor Car
Company produced in 1925 nearly
27O,00O Hudson and Essex cars. an
increase Of more than 100 per cent
over 1924. This striking gain In
business was based on the great
wave of public demand for six
cylinder closed cars at moderate
prices, which was exactly met by
Hudson and Essex coaches.
Ninety-five per cent Of business
was IN closed cars. This specializa-
ton has so simplified manufacture
that both Hudson and Essex
coaches are now sold at a. lower
price than open ones. With public
demand as 1t is. the Hudson-Essex
plans are once more to increase
volume so that a new high proddc-
ton record is expected in 1926.

This latest Gibson play gives the
ever popular HoOt rare OppOrtun-
iCy to display his wonderful horse
manship, for he rides like a whirl-
wind in one of the most spectacular
cross-country races ever caught by
the camera. UniVersals own bunch
of ranch riders and Mccullough
push Hoot hard for the honors as
the wildly galloping animals take
fences and bitches or scramble up
and down mountain trails. At one
stage of the pace Hoot is thrown
from his horse but recaptures it,
mounts again and crashes on. It's
a great race.
1.-THE Arizona Sweepstakes" is
vivid picture of the adventures of
"Coot" Caddigan, an Arizona cow
boy. Caddigan is seeing the sights
of big city from the top of China

and a small man. Caddigan goes to
aid the small chap and knocks out
the big fellow. Later he learns that
the fifht was a faxed one staged
nightly for the benefit of tourists.
Caddigan made such a hit that the
gang offers him job.

through ten brokers before it
reaches the ultimate consumer.
This is due to the lack of cOopera-
ton between the producer and the
consumer, for which deficiency both
pay a tremendous price. Products
to sell at the best advantage must
be known to be good This is best
accomplished by cooperation. A
first grade product should be classl
fed as such, and it should bring the
top market price. The second grade
product should be labeled second
grade. The consumer will then
know just what he is buying and
will pay for that grade the price
that it deserves.
"The thousands of people you
seek to bring to the peninsula must
be encouraged by such coopera-
ton. Wise shipping and the stor-
ing of surplus quantities could
eliminate the middleman, and his
profit may be shared by the grower
and consumer alike.
Delaware has proved" Mr.. du-
Pont said, that permanent high
way systems may be produced, sup
ported and paid for by taxes on
fuel consumed by vehicles which
travel on them.
1T has established fact. While
Maryland was the pioneer of all
states, and therefore the world, in
constructions of permanent high
ways, Delaware now has more
mileage per area than any other
state. Other sections need not fear
to establish such a road program as
ours.
Delaware is establishing an
other thing. that modern school
system be made self-sustaining
There is always the danger of
falling into a intOlerable situation
because of a rule of a majority. This
is true in community life as of pol
itics and government. We must
show the prospective settler to the
Peninsula that here a minority has
a voice in shaping its destinies in
proportion to the majority"
Elisha Lee, vice-president in
charge of operations of the Penn
sylvania Railroad System, in an ad-
dress Friday morning praised the
efforts of the Peninsula Organiza-
tions to develop the resources of
