by him several months ago.

price level. Let us study the situa-
ton little more carefully.
What is the difference in the cost
of production in the Middle West
and in the East? Feed is a big fac
tor. The freight rate from Chicago
to New York on feed in carload lots
is approximately 35 cents per cwt.
A hundred pounds of feed is needed
to produce 300 pounds of milk; con-
sequently the freight rate on the
feed necessary to produce 100
pounds of milk is not over II
cents. Deducting this from the
freight rate of $1.14 per cwt. of milk
leaves a comfortable margin of $1.02
per cwt. of milk for other expenses.
The hay and silage are produced on
the farm; farm land is cheaper in
Delaware than it is in the Middle
West, and these rOughages can be
produced as cheaply if not cheaper
than in the Middle West; labor is
no higher in Delaware than it is in
Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois;
cows can be purchased or raised as
cheaply in Delaware as in the Mid
die West. A difference of about IL
cents per cwt. of milk in purchasing
feed represents the entire difference
in the cost of production in the Mid
die West and the heart of the east
ern milk area. Besides a survey of
milk prices in the East and West
discloses that in many sections the
eastern dairy farmer is getting less
money for his milk than is the wes-
tern farmer"
Good will is another factor that
speaks against the possibility of
bringing in milk from the Middle
West by the Sheffield people. Mr.
Staffs says. "Dairymen frequently
forget the high value that distribu-
tors place on the good will of their
nearby producers. theoretically, it
might be possible for a distributor
to scOur the country and pick up
cheap milk but it is not practical.
Milk distributors want a nearby and
dependable supply and are generally
willing to pay fair price. They
don't shop around and buy milk one
week in one place and the next week
somewhere else. 1t is absolutely
necessary for them to have a reas-
enable assurance of the source Of
their milk supply from month to
month, and they are not likely to
depend on the uncertain supply of
producers hundreds of miles away"

nowhere in the United States for

viii Make Old Sussex Rich
Sussex county is speedily coming
to the front rank in agricultural
products. There is hardly a single
section of the county but what is
producing some valuable product.
When this drainage project is COM
pleted, it is very possible that Sus-
sex county will be the richest cOun-
ty in the eastern part of the United
States.
1t must be remembered also that
Cypress Swamp is surrounded by
valuable farms, some of which are
covered with valuable timber. The
swamp is, in the dry season, a
great place for forest fires. These
fires often spread to these timber
lands, and for this reason, the reg
ion is a constant source of anxiety
to the adjoining farmer. These fires
often occur in the huckleberry sea-
son aid destroy the entire crop for
the year. One of these fires ragged
for three weeks this past summer.
Squads of men were required to
fight it and keep it from spreading.
The smoke from these fires is often
so thick that the nearby farmers and
residents of the adjoining towns
cannot sleep because of it.
1t is hoped that this region with
i.s va'uable hidden resources will
soon be utilized and become a great
pride to all the people on the east
ern shore.

broken at the annual exhibition held
at the Commercial Museum in con-
nection with the convention. The ex-
hibition has earned the title of Am
erica's greatest hardware market. 1t
is expected that this years buying
will eclipse the record performance
of last year, when $SOO,000 worth of
hardware was sold on the floor of
the exhibition daily, OF more than
$3,000,000 during the exhibition.
Buyers from all parts Of the coun-
try and many from abroad will at
tend the exhibition. Last year 1000
merchants daily thronged the booths
at the museum. The exhibition will
be open to the public from 1O:30 a.
m. until late in the evening and it is
expected that last years attendance
of $4,000 persons will be increased
100000.
The exhibition will include 500
booths, housing the products of
more than thousand manufactur-
ers, representing the country's
greatest industries, while many
others have vainly tried to obtain
representation owing to lack of
space in the huge building. One
hundred thousand articles made for
the home, the farm, the factory, the
trades, professions, sports, mines
and marine and juvenile use will be
on view, including novelties, special
ties, electrical appliances, auto ac-
cessories and radio equipment.

PREPARE FOR ACTIVE
H. S. BASKETBALL SEASON
Continued from first page)

Lambert at guards is hard one to
beat but it is the center and for
ward positions that are weak.
However, this condition will be
remedied before the next game and
when Hedwig Mathews returns to
the lineup big improvement is eX-
pected. The remainder of the squad
consists of Rebecca Mathews, Celia
Wootten, Roslee Truitt, Myrtle Hill,
Carrie Hummell, Betty Varney,
Myrl McNicol, Sarah Grier, Marga-
ret Grier, Dorothy Swain and Min
erva Layton.
For the first time in the history of
the school everyone at M. H. S. is
an A. A. member. The dues were re-
duced to 10 cents per month and this
fact coupled with the increased in
terest in athletics due to the new
community building are largely re-
sponsible.
The students appreciate having a
splendid place to play as they can
now boast of one of the finest floors
in the State, thanks to the Carlisle
Fire Company.
A class basketball league has been
formed and it is expected to devel-
Op many new players for future
years. Both boys and girls teams
are organizing and will soon be
ready to play their first game. Only
one varsity player is allowed on a
team and this fact is creating an op-
portunity for many new players.
Great rivalry is being shown be-
tween classes and everyone is eag-
erly awaiting the first game. A pen
nant will be awarded the class lead
ing the league at the close of the
season.
On February 18th foul shooting
contest will be held to determine the
best boy and girl in this department.
The winner in each county will COM

NEW CENTURY CLUB

A good audience greeted Mrs. H.
D. Boyer, of Smyrna, on Monday af-
ternoon in the club house and heard
her lecture on Citizenship"
Mrs. Boyer is well versed in. the
science of government and her ad-
dress was both clear and logical.
She depored the lack of serious
thought and initiative in the new
army of voters in regard to legisla-
tive matters, and urged that women
assume their civic responsibilities
and to realize fully that citizenship
means duties as well as privileges.
She spoke of the power of the
woman vote if they would eliminate
passion, petty prejudices and also
snap judgments, and train their
selves to sound thinking and thor
ough study of the principles of good
government. A warning note was
given concerning how our country
is swept and torn by "isms" If var
ious cults. By an impressive Tecit-
ing of the preamble of the COnstitu-
tion she stressed the fact that eve,
the people," are responsible for our
own government. She also said "pa-
triotism comes near to religion, both
founded on service and sacrifice"
Preceding the lecture Miss Mable
Smith gave one Of her pleasing pi-
ano solos.
Next Monday will be business and
social meeting and all members who
have not already secured their tick
cts for the luncheon are asked to do
so by that time, in order that the
hostess may make her final plans.
