THE LOGICAL FUEL

Why shouldn't gas be the ideal
fuel? 1t is hot instantly, it is clean.
1t does not require storage on the
premises. 1t can be used in kitchen,
dining room, parlOr or factory with
out soiling the finest furnishing or
products. 1t is instantly alight-no
wet kindling to fail of a cold morn
ing. There is no residue to carry
away. The flame is easily regulat-
ed from maximum to minimum
intensity. The saving of time in
preparing the fuel is of vital i'm
portance.
The tendency is toward lower
price, which is sure to come through
Improved methods of production and
through wider distribution and
larger sales per unit of installation.
These reductions are already well
under way.

FARMERS AND THE TARIFF

Commenting on the benefits the
farmer receives from a reasonable
tariff, Secretary of Agriculture Jar
dine recently said:
"It would be in the highest degree
unwise for farmers to launch an at
tack on the tariff without carefully
considering the possibility that in
the near future they may need it
more than any other economic group
in the country. I am obliged to dis
sent strongly from the doctrine that
the tariff is of no benefit 10 the far
mer at the present time; and 1 am
still more strongly convinced that
the relative advantage of tariff pro-
lection will swing definitely TO the
side of agriculture, as the depend
ence of our farmers on foreign mar
kets grows less and that of our in
dustrialists becomes greater.
What we should seek in dealing
with the tariff on agricultural pro-
ducts is to insure the home market,
so far as possible. to the American
farmer. He should have effective pro-
lection against foreign competition.
Among the chief reasons why the
United States is better off than for
eign countries are that labor is here
paid well and that there is little un-
employment. This is of direct bene-
fit to agriculture. Even a very lit
tie reduction in food consumption
per capita, which would come from
lowered wages or unemployment,
would speedily pile up bigger sur
pluses of farm products than have
agriculture in recent
years."

BOXING

There were no boxing bouts at the
Milford arena this week, but next
weeks bouts, with many popular
leather pushers, promise to compose
one of the best programs ever held
in lower Delaware. Vic Malin, of
Wilmington, will have to put up a
good fight against the technique of
a new boy, Dick Conlin, of Altoona.
Joe Green, of Fort DUPONT, will see
see fistic action with Charlie Chris,
of Philadelphia. Soldier Smack, of
Fort DUPONT, meets another good op-
ponent, Battling Greek, of Fort du-
Pont, will oppose Kid Fargo, of Will
mington. Kid Dunn, of Milford, will
cash with Harry Martin, of Dover.
Young Gernhart, of Harrington, will
fight Kid Watts, of Delmar.

SoG
FIXING PRICES

1t is a common belief among far
mers in Our Country, that in all pro-
ducts except those grown on the
land the producer sets the price and
the consumer has to pay it.
Farmers generally feel that the
middleman sets the price the farm
er receives, and that the consumer
has to pay that price, to the detri-
ment of all.
There is some truth in all these
statements, but just about the same
amount for all classes. Take employ
ers Of labor: Recently a New Eng
land cotton mill shut down leaving
10000 hands out of work, the mar
ket for cotton goods slumping.
The manufacturer was forced to
close because the public was refus-
ing to pay what it cost him to turn
out the manufactured article.
The simple truth is, the manufac-
turer does not fix the price of his
product much more than the farm
er, and neither of them can get more
for their stuff than the public is
able or willing to pay.

INDISPENSABLE TO BUSINESS


Advertising pays!"
That epigrammatic declaration is
questioned by no one informed in
the history of business and COM
mercial development. 1t is a state
ment of fact, obvious and indisput-
able.
Quality and service have built vast
commercial and industrial institu-
tions, but with their handmade, ad-
vertising, greater institutions have
been built in far less time and at far
less cost. Advertising brings buyers
and quality; service and advantage
GUS price keep them.
One can point to several automo-
bile manufacturers who owe their
exceptional success not to building a
better car, but to using more and
better advertising than their COM
petitors. And several manufacture
ers have learned too late that sue
cess in this huge industry depends
upon more than making good car
It is significant that the makers OF
those products whose copyrighted
names are synonymous with the pro-
duct itself have all been large-scaIe
advertisers. Making a better
mousetrap" wasn't enough. Just
few illustrations are the Kodak, Vic
trola. Uneeda biscuit, Pianola, Stein
way. Coca Cola, Keds and Parker
pen. Advertising helped these pro-
ducts make name for themselves
What these famous national advcr-
tisers have accomplished for the
trade names of their products has
been done by merchants for their
business names. Advertising has
made one store synonymous with
clothing, another with furniture
another with meats and groceries,
and another with music.
In every business and community
here is some far-seeing and enter
1rising manufacturer or merchant
who raises his product and business
name above the common level by
making advertising work for nim.

THE BUSY MAN

Modern business has engendered
several axioms which rival the rar-
est bits of wisdom of the ancients.
Among the most frequently quoted
is, eff you want something lone take
it to the busy man." A companion
epigram reads, "a good workman
never wants for job"
Axioms and epigrams that endure
don't just happen. To go down
through the generations they must
express in a concise and vivid man
ner an obvious truth. The axioms of
the busy man and the good workman
fill this requirement.
There is a reason why one should
patronize the busy man and work
man who has a job. The busy man is
busy because he has earned repuUa-
tion of giving service expeditiously
and satisfactorily. The best recon-
mendation a workman can desire is
the fact that he is not out of work.
Very often employers are forced
through a labor shortage to accept
workers who do not come from an
other job, but when allowed to
choose between the employed and
the unemployed they always pick the
former.
The axiom of the busy man ap-
plies to the professional man, store,
hotel, factory, Office and every other
branch and phase of business. The
axiom of the good workman is ap-
plicable to all classes of labor. The
world wants more busy men and
good workmen.

FARM LIFE is DIFFERENT

EAKM LIFE 10 DIT ElHAAA4NA
The farmer knows that life in the
country has not always been the
idyllic existence country-hungry city
folks have pictured it. Only the
new farmer" can not remember the
struggle against nature and the days
of sun up to sun-dOWn toll once the
lot Of the men and women on the
farm. The modern farm is as unlike
it's antecedents as the modern fac
tory is unlike it's prototype and as
the modern city home is unlike the
home of two decades ago.
On many farms today are found
the automobile, tractor, telephone,
electric lights and power, milking
machines, harvesting and planting
machinery performing several oper-
ations simultaneously, the radio, the
household comforts and corvenien-
ces of the city home and even leis-
ure and recreation. The prodigal
son wouldn't know the old farm if he
returned today after IN absence of
two decades.
True it is that some farmers still
employ primitive methods of agri-
culture and refuse or are unable to
emancipate themselves from their
slavery to the soil by adopting labor
saving devices. And it is just as true
that agriculturists as a class have
been slow to adopt modern methods.
The time is not long past when
'tnewfangled notions" were exceed
ingly distrusted on the farm. The
"old way" was good enough for the
fathers and what was good enough
for the fathers was good enough for
the sons when they succeeded to the
of the farm. 1t was not
vanity nor obstinacy which caused
good farmers to scoff at scientific
methods in those days. The best of
farmers sincerely believed they
could get out of the soil only what
the soil yielded of it's own 7olition.
The change on the farm has been
short of revolutionary and
the revolutionists have been, the men
and women who for generations had
resisted change and i'm
peded progress.

Surprising as has been the unpre-
cedented whirl of society here dur
ing these summer weeks, it could
not continue indefinitely. And it ap-
pears that Milford society is at last
content to relax on the beaches near
by and let parties wait for awhile.
Aside from their visits to the
beaches, an occasional dinner away
from home at one of the various tea
houses, seems to be the main diver
sion now.

KEEP CHILDREN IN SCHOOL

lation, is shown by recent reports
gathered by the Woman's Home
Companion in Pittsburgh. There as
elsewhere boys and girls between
the ages of IA and 16 can go to
work by obtaining employment GER
tificates. The records show that
three-fourths Of them leave school
forever at IA. Nearly half of them
have not got beyond the sixth grade
in grammar school.
Almost all of them get into "rou-
tine or blind-alley jobs" which do
not prepare them for any specific
adult work, the astute magazine OBJ
server finds. They keep changing
from one job to another and they
lose so much time between jobs that
they are idle from 80 to As per cent
Of the time.
Thus the stale argument that it is
often better to quit school and "get
an early start in life" falls to the
ground.
With few exceptions, these boys
and girls do not get started. They
simply founder around.
"Send your sons and daughters
back to school this fall" is the OBJ
servers verdict. "And keep up the
long fight for child labor legislation
that will prevent needless parents
and employers from depriving ether
boys and girls Of the education that
this country offers free to its future
citizens"
Progressive education is tending in
the direction of making school tasks
so fascinating that they are no long
er tasks, but projects which the
children are eager to carry through
to completion.

Evening Up of Accounts
Brings Fair-Sized Decline
in Shares Today.

NEW YORK. October 8.-Week end
evening up Of accounts resulted in fair
sized declines in many Of the recent
industrials favorites on the Curb Ex-
change today. The offerings reflected
no change in speculative sentiment
toward the future price movement, but
merely desire to place accounts in a
more liquid position.
Deere common, Tubize Artificial Silk
and Great Lakes Dredge and Dock,
three recent high priced favorites,
dropped to more than points, but
the declines were not out of proper.
ton with the recent sharp advances.
Because of the fact that several low.

the general trend, their action was
noteworthy. This was true Of Engi.

Early fluctuations were nervous

cotton, placing the indicated yield at

than generally expected and sent
prices up 81 to SO bale. The esti.
mate, however, was not as small as
some had predicted and there was quite
