What is True Love?
The Thing Which Transgures the Lives of the Humbes
as Well as the Lives of the Greatest of People.

other. They are monomaniacs.
To the man in true love with
one woman all other women have
something repelling toward him.
Monogamy is not merely a Gus
tom, nor an artificial or econom-
ic arrangement, nor a state pre-
scribed by the authority of reli-
gion; it is psychological; it Is a
natural law of souls; it will con
tinue forever because when true
love comes to normal people it is
always exclusive.
We may love many times, but
the great love comes but once
"The night hath a thousand eyes,
The day but one,
Yet the light of the whole world
dies
When the day is done.
"The mind hath a thousand eyes,
The heart but one,
Yet the light of the whole life
dies
When love is DONE"
True love is the purest thing
known. 1t is purer than any
form of celibacy, GOODNESS or in
difference. Pure in itself, it
makes pure whatever it touches.
Evil desires wither before it.

By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

Once into the life of almost ev-
cry man and woman comes an
experience that makes existence
divine. The human creatures live
not in the sordid earth, but In
heaven. They are TRANSPORTED
within and become as if newborn.
All is changed also around them,
the streets are gold, the stars
sing, the world is crystal. This
experience is called true love.
1t is a kind of madness. 1t is
like intoxication. 1t is a dream,
a wonder, a miracle. Common to
all people it is, yet the most I'M
common, amazing, SCATTERING
thing known.
1t is the love of one man and
one woman. 1t is the mating in
stinct of Nature as translated in
to spirit qualities by the deep hui
man heart and the majestic hui
man brain.
AS there is nothing in all earth
so interesting, let us note some
of its marks.
True Love Is Exclusive.
The first effect is to shut out
all the rest of mankind. The two
are walled up in world of their
own. They want no one else.
Their thoughts cannot escape in
tense concentration upon one an

The most selfish heart is made
generous. The sourest moods be-
come sweet. The most arid life
blooms.
1t is the cure-all of life. Chung
to, revered, stubbornly held, it
solves all problems, smoothes all
difficulties, removes all conflicts,
heals all wounds.
There was never heartburn
ing, a misunderstanding, an al
ienation between lovers, which If
all else were thrown aside and
true love alone needed and fol-
lowed, would not have been heal
ed.
The Essence of Religion.
Men could not understand de-
votion to one God had not Nature
implanted in them the instinct of
devotion to one woman.
True love is Jacobs ladder, up
and down which travel the angels.
For only in utter surrender to
true love is there to be found an
atmosphere where morality is
not an imposed law but an inner
desire. Here alone is that which
Browning calls
''The ultimate, angels law,
Indulging every instinct of the
soul,
There where law, life, joy, i'm
pulse are one thing"
Whenever the soul allows itself
to be dominated by true love, it
cannot lie, nor hurt, nor in any
wise act unworthily.

Poultry Raising a Leading Industry


Poultry raising is one of the lead
ing agricultural industries in Della
ware, and this is especially true of the
two lower counties where the sales Of
eggs and chickens are the chief sourc-
es Of income from many of the farms.
According to the United States Census
for 1925, this type of farming in the
entire state has a value of almost
four millions of dollars. In conduct
ing the program Of poultry improve
ment for Kent County, the projects
selected were those dealing with dem
onstration farms and field meetings,
culling demonstrations, egg grading
and packing for the New York City
markets, the farm egg laying contest
and record calendars, and the cintinu-
ing of the poultry record club which
was organized for the first time in the
fall of 1925 in the Dover End Wyom-
| ing districts.
