URGES DELAWARE DETECTIVES
"a TO WORK
(EYery Evening Editorial)

EVERY Evening EditoriaD
The head of the colony for feeble
minded at Stockley has caused sur
prise by the announcement that
there are at least 1000 men, women
and children in Delaware of weak
mentality, that would warrant
grouping them as morons or ire
sponsibles. Were Mr.. Ennis not a
man who weighed his words, and in
position to inform himself in the
matter, one would doubt that one
half of one per cent of the entire
population of Delaware are seriously
deficient mentally, and physically ir-
responsible.
He continues his assertion by de-
claring that the number is more
likely to increase than decline and
urges that they be trained to con-
tribute by work to their mainte-
nance. Mr.. Ennis commends, as ev-
eryone must, the legislative action
preventing an increase in the num-
Der of irresponsibles within them
selves, and sets forth that it is being
put into effect. This, however, only
touches the one angle of the prob
lem-does not solve it.
The suggestion that they be train
ed in some vocation that will enable
them to contribute towards their up
keep is a wise one, for it will serve
also the purpose of imparting con-
tentment to these unfortunate peo-
pie, and his contention that they
should be educated as far as pos
sible, then trained in some vocation
and returned to community life, is
always worthy of remark.
Let prospective legislators re-
member that this problem is before
hem and that there seems no better
way Of solving it than by acting on
he suggestion of the head of these
lapless people. His experience in
he work equips him to speak and
lct as an authority.

PUBLIC MOVEMENTS

PUBLIC MOVEMENTS
There are many cities and towns
where life drifts along about the
same from one year to the next. The
people follow certain regular plans
and ideas, they go to their work day
after day, they engage in business.
But there are very few distinctive
efforts to accomplish any commun-
ity development. Not much is be-
ing done to make such places better
to live and work and do business in.
That type of place rarely makes
progress. It is too content with it.
self or to hopeless about its pros
poets. But all over the country a
new spirit of public effort is spread
ing.
Movements are constantly being
started in such places for this or
that desirable object. The people.
are working to land new industrial
establishments, to get better schools
OF more Fairgrounds or parks, to
clean up the streets and home
grounds, etc. These people have
high standards of community
achievement, they have feeling of
pride in their home town, they are
interested in everything that is
going on, and are willing to take
hold and help.
People of slow and sluggish ma
lures may be satisfied in the first
described type of town. They will
not so often be called on to serve
in organizations. They will not be
asked to sign so many subscription
papers. But their town will be sta
tionary, and it will never be one to
be very proud Of
Many here in Milford prefer the
latter kind of place, even if living
in it calls for more time, more
money, and more enthusiasm. We
want to take hold and help on these
community projects, believing that
a town where that spirit prevails is
going to give it's people more of
privileges and advantages, very
much better chances to earn good
pay, and a greater opportunity to
make money in business.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO Feb. 20 Q9 Bulging
prices at Liverpool and reports OF
famine conditions in Russia gave de-
cided strength today to the wheat mar
ket here. Despite a big increase of
the amount Of wheat on ocean pas
age, export purchases OF North Ameri-
can wheat today totaled about l.
100000 bushels.
Closing Chicago quotations for wheat
today were &c to lac net higher, with
corn sc off to hc UP, oats unchanged
to shade lower, and provisions at
sc to 15c advance.
On the lively upward swings which
were witnessed in wheat prices today,
July delivery established new high
record for the season, and nearby
months went to the topmost point since
last December. Houses with eastern
and foreign connections led the way
aggressively in the buying Of future
deliveries, and there was also evidence
of future delivery demand from do
mestic millers. Spread traders pur-
chasing wheat against sales of corn
were likewise conspicuous.
Most of the gains in wheat values

in Chicago being the highest in weeks.
Profit taking in the late trading was
heavy, but sales were quickly absorbed
by commission houses. A bullish in
fluence was the fact that export rye,
f. o. b. East st. Johns, is commanding
1870 over Chicago May, the topmost
basis thus far on the crop. Further
more, domestic winter wheat prospects
were construed in some quarters as
unfavorable.
Notwithstanding corn selling on the
part of spreaders who were buying
wheat, the corn market Sympathized

successive day. Sporadic rallies de-
veloped in various sections of the list
but many Of them fell flat. A sprink-

particularly severe against some of the
specialties, the offerings did not ap-
proach in magnitude those which ac-
companied the decline last week. The
days sales ran just over 2,5000O0

Although it was generally conceded
that the selling movement was inspir-
ed by conditions within rather than
without the market, a few outside de-
velopments contributed to the prevail
ing bearish sentiment. These includ-
ed publication of the state unemploy-
