So@
TUESDAY morning was an unus-
ual weather condition for Delaware;
and, with peach trees in full bloom
and other fruit trees starting to
open their fruit buds, the unusual
cold caused anxiety on the part OF
fruit growers generally. ice in buck
cts and drinking troughs about the
homes, was measured and found TO
be fully five-tighths of an inch thick.
The ground was frozen so that fresh
plowed land could not be narrowed
until after the sun softened the
crust of the frozen earth. Coming
at a period of the year, when vege-
tation should be well started and
capable of hiding a rabbit in the
wheat fields and the clover, there is
much anxiety for the safety of crops
like early planted peas, which are in
some places through the ground and
about an inch high, while white po-
tatoes are nearly ready to break
through the ground. The fact that
the wind blew all night probably
favored the buds already open, as
the weather was dry. With the mer-
curry down to twenty-seven degrees
above zero many buds were killed,
but those who have had long expert
ence in fruit growing, have not yet
lost hope for the fruit. The straw
berry crop is not in danger--so
growers feel and state as their be-
lief, as the plants had not started
sufficiently to send up the fruit
bearing stems. However, this un-
usual cold weather which prevailed
for three days, will be an excuse for
the calamity howlers, who delight in
having some sort of excuse for their
failure to make a successful season
on a farm. The farmer with brains
and who is capable of planning for
producing crops, under these unusu-
al conditions to replace others
which would have afforded the usual
income, will plant and grow emer-
gency crops, which generally equal
and often prove to be more profit
able in money results, than the Tou-
tine crops lost through cold weather.
IN several of the large states in
the northwest, where agriculture is
the basis Of all prosperity for
greater part of the people, voice is
raised against those who are using
the farmer and his interests for po-
litical purposes; thereby injuring
agriculture as a business proposition
and placing the farmer in unfavor-
able position as a factor in general
prosperity. We have this same class
of political fools in Delaware. In the
great wheat growing state of Mime
sofa there is a growing revolt
against being made the goat for po-
litical purposes of professional poll
ticians, who have no regard for the
moral welfare of agriculturists. In
the town of Long Prairie, which is
about the centre of the State of Min
nesota, there is a paper printed and
, it is called the Leader" The editor
speaks to his town Of a thousand
people on this subject; especially
the proposition that the Congress Of
the United States shall provide some
sort of a bonus scheme for the relief
! of certain farmers, as follows:

takes place when we regulate by
constant voltage. II we keep the
voltage constant and the resistance
increases as the tube is used, the
result will be that there will be Il
drop in current in the circuit (see
formula in Figure %. This reduc-
ton in current flow will compensate
for the increased resistance I'm for
mula Figure 3 so that the power and
consequent temperature will remain
practically the same and will there
fore not cause any greater deteriora-
ton of the filament through excessive
temperature or heating.
After exhaustive tests one Of the
most prominent tube manufacturers
states that under voltage control the
life OF the tube may be prolonged
in the ratio of three To one over
current control. The saving in tube
renewals Is obvious.
Another point To remember is that
for current control the measuring
instrument, the ammeter, must he
connected in series in the tilament
circuit Of q tube. while a Voltmeter
is connected directly across the
terminals of the tube fliament. The
switching arrangement required 10

much simpler than those that are re-
quired for the current control or

RADIO USE IN STRIKE
BEING STUDIED HERE.
Spurt in British Demand for Sets
Seen as Result-War Value Of
Broadcasting Known.

The uses to which radio is being
put by the British government in a
time of national emergency are being
closely watched by radio officials here.
According to advices reaching
Washington the entire facilities OF
the British broadcasting company are
at the disposal of the government,
and with the staffs of many OF the
leading British newspapers out on
strike, news bulletins and matters of
general Importance are being broad
cast under governmental supervision.
Such a use of the brOadcasting ma
terkal of IL nation presents radio In
new role and one that Is expected to
be of utmost Importance in the event
of war. Under legislation now in force
i'll the United States, q similar taking
over of all brOadcaSting transmitters
for Government uSe Is authorized, and
all of the bills introduced in the
Senate and House for radio control
assign this privilege to the President.
Should the British strike be pro-
longed, it is predicted that radio will
enjoy "a tremendous boom in England
and that radio receivers will be looked
upon as home necessities rather than
Semi-luXurieS.
The broadcasting facilities OF prac-
tcally every important country have
been studied as possible agents for
troop mobilization in time OF en-
ergency. \ carefully worked out plan
for calling out the United States
reserves by radio has been drafted by
the War and Navy Departments.

MEXICO IS ERECTING
BIG RANGE STATION

Direct wireless communication with
South America, Australia and the
Orient is expected to follow the
installation OF improved and modern
radio apparatus in Mexico City. &C.
cording to advices from the Depart
ment of Commerce
The new transmitter that IS being
erected 20 replace the obsolete equip
ment in ChaPultepec Park il designed
to operate on short waves, and, in.
stead of the massive and lofty towers
of the old station. 81 new antenna sys-
tenn is being strung at d height of 45
feet.
The station will be provided with
50O-Watt transmitter, which, when
operating at Il high frequency, is ex.
pected to be audible at distances of
several thousand miles.
A second loW-Wave station to sup
plement the service from the Cha
pulteper plant ID being planned for
installation in Campeche.
Broadcasting activities in Mexico
have been considerably reduced for
tho summer season. and very few
Mexican programs are being sent on
tho air. 1t is expected that with the
opening of the radio season next Fall
interest in broadCaSting will he greater

tions already in operation are planning

If we keep the current '1' constant
under such circumstances with In

greater power consumption and
therefore greater temperature.

Many fans interested in getting

knowing why voltage control of

be any difference between voltage

Quality Groceries
PRICED RIGHT

The extent of 'installment buying certainly prmo
that consumers generally want the very best they D
afford.
The man with the price of Ford uses this cash
first payment better car. Why? Because ths
average person buys the best he can possibly afford
in clothing furniture and everything else except ON
cerleS. The main reason for this is that all he bear
about groceries is price, price, price, and nothing about
the quality of the food that is set before his family
and this happens in spite of the fact that quality man
ufacturers continually advertising trying to con-
vince the consumer that if there is anything tbey
should be particular about the quality Of it is Their
food. @.a
The fact is, that all foods are so cheap in this
country that even the poorest of us can afford Che
best Is there anyone that can't afford to pay 10 cents
for package of maccaroni products when that is
enough for main dish for full meal for at least
family of five? Yet prices are often mentioned by
grocers with the idea of appealing to the consumer
from the standpoint of price instead of giving them
product of quality. 1t costs money to produce quality
in merchandise and it is pleasure to know the mer
chandise you handle is merchandise of quality.
We are convinced that no brands of foods can or
does, surpass the quality found in Happy Home pro
ducts. We feature this brand and convinced that
this is reason for the tremendous increase in
volume of business in the last year. If you haven't
used this brand ask your neighbor or better STILL try
