Reports coming from reliable
sources, state that the Maryland and
Delaware Coast Railway Company
Ga part of the former Queen Anne
RailrOad) running from Lewes to
Denton) has in the past year had
wonderful success in both its pass
enger and freight business.
Some of the officials have an
nounced that the past years busi-
ness has been the best since the road
was built 80 years ago.
1t would have been much better
for the public at large if the pres
ent management of the NJ. & D. C.
Ry. Co. had been able to secure the
whole line extending from Lewes to
Love Point.
We feel quite sure that if such a
movement could have been success
full we would now have in opera
ton, steamboats, between Love Point
and Baltimore; also between Lewes
and Cape May, thus giving to the
people of the Southern States a
short route to Rehoboth, Delaware,
Cape May and other seaside resorts
of New Jersey.
Perhaps when the great bridge is
built which is to span the Chesa-
peake Bay, and connect the eastern
and western shores of Maryland to-
gether, we will cease to complain
and get our needs in another way.
The writer has been trying for the
10 CT 70 60
ers of this vicinity to turn their at
tention from raising so much grain,
which seems not to be profitable, to
the production of small fruits such
as blackberries and strawberries.
Whenever a sufficient number of
our farmers can be persuaded to
plant enough of the above fruits; so
as to load car each day in season,
then it will pay, and pay big.
AS it is now time to set the plants,
why not get busy and raise some-
thing that will cause all to forget
the hard times now existing with
the farmers?
Mrs. Sarah J. Shenkle, age 80

ter stated that the enforcement of the
compulsory education law, which is
still imperfect, is one Of the chief
problems of child welfare in any COM
munity. Medical inspection in the
schools, supplementing diet, recrea-
ton, the development of special class
es for the physical and mentally
handicapped are all vital part of a
well organized Child Welfare pro-
gram and relate naturally and logi-
cally to the work. 1t is for this rea-
son that the County Superintendent
of Schools is an ex officio member.
Children needing special attention
are classified in three groups, as de-
pendent and neglected, delinquent,
and defective or handicapped. The
many special needs of children give
the work great variety, but also re-
suits in the necessity of considerable
detailed study.

The chief difficulty in Minnesota's

and money that little has been done,
compared with the field of preven-

Board has been functioning several
years and has attended to a large
number of necessary cases of which
the public has no knowledge. The
board has paid an executive for the
past seven years but has been in OPP

Eighty Minnesota counties have es-

have launched a preventive program
for the protection of children, it was
announced recently by the State
Board of Control.
The program of the state calls for
the establishment of board in each
of the 81 counties with a paid secre-
tary in every county with a popula-
ton of more than $4,000 persons, c..
j. Swendsen, chairman of the state
board, said.

part of Minnesota steadily is bring

clared.
County welfare boards are made up
of three persons, two of whom are
women, the county superintendent of
schools and a member of the county
board, except in counties of the first
class, where five persons are select

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.--Whatever

Tregoe said further that he be-

DEFEAT OF PARK BONDS

While the approval of the school
bonds was one of the bright spots in
Tuesdays election results, the defeat
of it's running mate, the park bonds,
proved the one big dark spot. The
Press believes the project failed in
that it wasn't slapped to the people
in just the right manner They did
MT get the right slant of it. Not
that the Press offers criticism of the
campaigners back of the movement
goodness knows the workers in its in
terest deserve every credit for their
tireless efforts-but the Press does
believe the campaign didn't get away
to an early enough start to enlighten
the people of just the manner in
which the bonds would have been car
ed for in the future.
The thing to do is to start the cam
paign right over again, in fact, don't
let the past one die out, and get set
for another try at the very next elec-
ton. It's failure this time is certainly
to be regretted.

WHY COAL MINERS STRIKE

Much has been said by soft coal
operators who repudiated their work
ing agreement with the United Mine
Workers, on the subject of a competi-
tive wage, meaning, in the last analy-
sis, wage based on the starvation
wage paid non-union miners in West
Virginia and Kentucky.
Northern operators-many of them
say they cannot pay the Jackson
vile scale and compete. Officials of
the miners have shown time and time
again that this argument is sophis-
try-an excuse to enter the wedge
to break the union.
The labor cost of bituminous coal
averages less than 81 a ton. Consum-
ers pay from $5 to So per ton, and
even more, for this coal in the retail
markets. The miner gets less than
dollar for producing this ton. Who
gets the difference?
This is the answer to the competi-
