THE VANDALEERS

When spring brings out the wild
flowers and the roadside green's ev-
cry man, woman and child becomes
lover of nature, but so many of
these impassioned lovers must pluck
the object of their love. They are
not content to look upon the new
found beauty but must jealousy ap-
propriate it to themselves. With
them flowers grow to be picked.
All outdoors has adorned itself
with floral raiment of gorgeous hue.
The woods, fields, lanes, hills and
valleys are ablaze with color and
beauty. Everywhere the little Wild
flowers rear their innocent heads,
the green shrubs line the roadsides
and bursting buds reveal beautiful
secrets.
To many persons the temptation
to destroy these pictures is irresis-
tible. They find no ecstacy in mere
ly looking at natures springtime
verdure. They must loot the mead
ows and the hillsides. Their cars
must go home laden with blossoms
that are not meant for vases in the
home. Nature provides its own
vases for these blooms and the flow
ers that are plucked from their set
ting become like orphans, miserable,
dropping and homesick.
Newspapers and nature lovers
throughout the land find it neces-
sary to remind a thoughtless public
of the consequences of this vandal-
ism. Vandalism it is, for many per-
sons are not content with the flower,
they must take the stem and the
root as well. Eventually of course,
this means determination of the wild |
flower. That point has been reach
ed in some instances.
AS nature invites its people to the
great open spaces at this time of
year with a cordiality that is unmis-
taxable, her visitors ought to be con-
siderate enough not to wreck her
home and make it a desert. A mo-
ment's thought will make a normal |
person aware of the seriousness of
the situation.

FARM PHONES TIME AND MONEY
SAVERS

The diversified farmers time is
worth something every day in the
year; and the telephone is the
cheapest, best time-saver ever in
vented, for much of the business of
the farm. Out of 100000 Pennsyl-
vania farms, 124,O00, or 62 per cent,
have telephones.
The telephone is a hired man who
eats nothing, who will not forget
his orders, who will not f1irt or elope
with the hired girl, who will not set
fire to the farm with his careless
pipe or cigarette, who will not strike
for higher wages just when the need
is greatest. a farm phone is almost
as necessary as land or house or
barn.

The dignity that a formal house
offers is favored by many. The clas-
sic style as applied to house design
bespeaks the home of gentleman.
When properly carried out, this
type of house shows refinement in
every detail. The proportions of the
house must of course be good, and
suitable materials must be used.
The house shown herewith is a
good example of this type.
The plain stucco walls, classic
doorway and cornice, and tile roof;
all result in an appropriate and
harmonious design. The wrought
iron railing in front of The large
first story window lends interest.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(From National Editorial Association
Especial to Chronicle)

NORS~~-~N
Washington, May 1S-Though the
Mississippi flood is justly regarded
as one of the greatest disasters in
our history, there are calloused in
dividuals insistent on emphasizing
the political features. With every
available agency endeavoring to
check the spread of the flood waters
and promoting humanitarian meas
ures essential to public welfare, GER
tain organized groups are planning
to make political capital out Of the
aftermath, that is, to take advantage
of the flood control legislation which
will be required.
The army engineers working
might and main to check the Unruly
river waters, find themselves pitted
against local and regional politici-
ans. If these reports are true it is
easy to imagine the situation in Oc-
tober when the Army's suggestions
for relief measures are formally sub
mitted and then reviewed by Con-
gressional committees. 1t is the old
story of the political "pork-barrel"
or patronage which has retarded the
development of inland waterways
for decades. The soft-pedal is ap-
piled to conversations along this
line in official quarters, but indigna-
ton sometimes overcomes discretion
and opinions crop out.
The Department of State and the
Commerce Department are keeping

1T is so IMPORTANT that all the
people, especially the farmers tol
miles about Milford, shall be pres
ent at the meeting which will be
held in. the Plaza Theatre, in Mil
ford. on Tuesday, May S1st, admls-
sion to which is absolutely tree' &c
hear an address that will help those
who can think for themselves to
bring about financial returns for
farmers and fruit growers, and per-
feet a plan to benefit all the people.
On this subject the Morning News
of Wilmington said editorially:
A subject of interest to the entire
peninsula is the meeting to be held
at Milford on May 81, at eight o.
clock, in the Plaza Theatre. The
prime purpose is to introduce Dr.
Franklin B. Bomberger, recently ap-
pointed director of the Marketing
Bureau of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association.
The meeting will be under the
auspices of the Milford Chamber of
Commerce. 1t is hoped that visitors
will be present from many parts of
the peninsula. The more the mer-
rier. The theatre will accommodate
some 1900 persons. Every seat
should be occupied. DR.. Grier, of
Milford, especially urges a large
gathering.
DR.. Bomberger has had much ex-
perience, and he has message OF
vital concern to deliver to every
farmer, fruit grower, business man
and industrialist. All of which
shows that the association formed
not so long ago intends constructive
effort. The peninsula with its prob
lens will offer a fertile field for the
efforts of DR.. Bomberger. He will
face, we fancy, many problems. But
that should make him and the asso-
citation all the more Jealous.
Are we of the peninsula making
the best of our opportunities? 1t
would be. rather bold persons to say
that we are doing so. The location
of the land between the bays is such,
large city markets being in such
,asy access, that we should be sup
,lving them far more than we are
ioing.
This does not mean that the pen
Milford chronicle., 1927-05-20

The walk and driveway gates at
either side of the house tend to
broaden the front and they add
greatly to the effect.
In plan, the arrangement is most
compact, the house is nearly square,
making for economy in construction.
One enters into a small hall from
which the stairs lead to the second
story. A large coat closet opens from
the hall.
The small sun porch is an sttrac-
tive feature. 1t has French windows
on two sides with curved head
transoms. 1t connects with both liv-
ing room and dining room.
The layout of the second floor
Milford chronicle., 1927-05-20

insula is entirely neglectful. But it
does means that we could and
should do better under constructive
leadership. For example, the owner
of the average farm gets, compare
lively speaking, but little off it. He
should get more. Are not too many
of our farmers backward? Then,
again, why does Delaware fruit, for
instance, go to waste in the field
while residents of the cities, resi-
dents of Wilmington, at the very
gateway, must frequently pay very
high prices? Our land should be
much more valuable than it is. We
have all been too slothful.
Se@
THE GAMERS of Delaware have
a very personal experience with a
protective tariff need for the United
States, but especially for those who
grow and those who can tomatoes.
Incidentally, the farmers and farm
labor generally, are directly inter-
ested in this very personal question,
as it's affects them during this sea-
son of 1927. The canned goods mar
ket has been demoralized as to
prices for the past year, and the re-
suit of this Decentralization, is admit
ted to be, competition by canned to-
matoes shipped to the United States
from Italy, which are sold at lower
prices than it is possible for the far
mers of Delaware or other parts OF
the United States, to grow and de-
liver to the Gamers, at a price the
latter can afford to pay for tomatoes
from the field to pack in cans to be
sold in the open market; in compe-
tition with the tomatoes grown in
Italy. The cost of labor in Italy to
farmers is not over fifty cents per
day of the United States money, and
the same ratio goes on through the
labor scale in the canning houses, in
the cost of labels and other costs of
production of the canned goods. The
freight across the Atlantic to Amer
lea is in Italian ships, where sailors
receive less than half the monthly
salary paid to American seamen;
while the engineers and mechanics
have a proportionately lower scale
of wages. The United States Con-
eress gave to the President the pow
er to change our tariff schedule upon
foreign products that come in COM
petition with American goods, ana
lower the wage schedule of Amerl-
can workmen; but so far there has
not been any consecrated action to
have that part of the law invoked by
the President. For the protection
of each man or farmer in Delaware,
as well as for the people who labor
on farms, or in production of canned
tomatoes, a protective tariff rate
must be maintained. If the people
who grow tomatoes, or work in can
neries desire to have high wages,
they must be willing to pay living
price to the grower and packer in
the country in which we are all di-
rectly interested. A protective tariff
will help those who want to help
