sands of employes-called many of
them by their nicknames and shared
their troubles and joys. Here is an
other OF Mr.. Baldwin's qualities: He is
known as a humanitarian. He is proud
of the fact that he and his workers
formed one big family and that ne
never had any labor troubles.
Business for the sake of money alone
does not interest the premier He was
once a rich man, and one recalls his
sacrifice in 1919 when he gave $500. 900
-one-f1fth of his fortunc--to his coun-
try. and did 1t anonymously. The treas
ury needed money, and Mr.. Baldwin
hoped that his gesture would persuade
others to give what they could. No one
has ever challenged the statement that
Mr.. Baldwin intended to conceal his
name from the world in making this
gift, but such benefcence could not be
kept under cover.
The premier is one OF the hardest
working men in whitehall. He Is on the
Job from early morning until late at
night. and his only recreation during
the week is a brisk walk before break
fast. On Sunday he goes to Chequers,
the country home of England's prime
minister's sort of Summer White
House. There he reads and takes long
1aunts. and IL there are pigs along his
line Of march. so much the better.
II can go 20 miles 'on my head when
I am flt," he remarked to me with
laugh, Il ordinarily walk 8 or . miles
on a Sunday"
Keeps Close Contact.
Mr.. Baldwin keeps exceptionally close
contact with government affairs and the
House of Commons. In fact, he is the
first premier in many years who has
no. delegated his leadership Of the
House frequently to others.
The House of Commons is like a
tickle woman" he explained IF you
do not WOO her persistently she will
become jealous and get out of hand,
but II you pay her constant court she
will always be sweet and smiling"
The House. both his own followers
and the opposition, frankly like Mr.
Baldwin. They may not always agree
with him, but they like him They ap-
prove OF his plain. blunt way and ad-
mire his transparent honesty.
Because Of his onerous duties Mr.
Baldwin docs not get as much real home
life as he would like. but he Is a man

sweep across a great continent"
The premier's trend Of thought car
ried him down to the present.
What tremendous problem you
have with your huge population-the
problem of assimilating, of American
izing, the hosts who have come to you
from all parts Of the world" he said.
1T is vital question"
The prime minister comes from a
long line of Wesleyan preachers and
Quaker missionaries. In fact, one of
his Quaker ancestors. Thomas Chalk
ley, went out to Philadelphia in Colo
NAL days to preach the Gospel. The
influence of these religious forefathers
still tells in the life of Mr. Baldwin
He believes in God and in prayer, and
looks for spiritual aid in carrying his
great burdens of Office.
Il believe he said that 1t Is impos-
sible for any person to go through life
bearing a great responsibility and not
break under it unless there is divine
guidance"

LONDON. June 9.-Stanley Baldwin.
prime minister of Great Britain. is a
man of many interesting complexities,
who has succeeded In mixing pigs. poe
try. politics and prinlroses. He is per-
hapS the most unusual man who has
ever occupied this greatest of all posi-
tons in the mightiest of empires.
Before starting this sketch OF the
man I mentally vowed that under no
circumstances should I be drawn into
mentioning his famed cherry wood
pipe. English cartoonists earn reason
able part Of their salaries by its daily
depletion. Every young reporter seizes
upon 1t for "the human touch" Tha:
pipe has been overworked.
But as I sat chatting with the pre-
mier while he puffed away at his to-
bacco, it grew upon me that the cEarac-
teristic generally attributed to him and
the characteristics OF his pipe are in
separable.
The cherrywood is a friendly, CHEEKY
sort OF pipe. II Is honest, is the cherry
wood, and no vaunter trying 10 make
out that it Is a priceless briar or meer-
schaun. It is quiet and unobtrusive
there are no bands Of gold nor yet of
silver on 1t TO give false appearance.
II is none Of your fragile pipes that
cannot stand knock: it is SCARED and
battered, but some way the marks of
battle seem to add TO its attractiveness
and appearance of strength.
Likes Rural Life.
Mr. Baldwin's liking for pigs and
rural life almost stampedes one into say
ing that ne is essentially a country
gentleman. but / think that character
ization would be incorrect. He is such
a curious mixture Of many things that
it is difficult to place him exactly.
He is equally at home with his pigs

view to safeguarding those indus

from the experience of the last six
years have not had adequate pro-

Ct alfalfa and sweet clover seed sold
in Kent county this year, a survey of
the seed sales by the various dealers
was taken early in October by Coun-
ty Agent Russell e. Wilson, who is
directing this hay and pasture i'm
provement work in this county. In
discussing this project with the local
seed dealers, it was learned that the
sales of these two kinds of seed ex-
cept in a few instances mad not in
creased very much from those of
last year. This situation may be ex-
planned, however, by the fact that on
the whole the price of alfalfa and
sweet clover seed has made a slight
advance during the past year, and
the financial condition of the aver
age farmer at the present time has
not been inducive to the investment
in these crops. The weather condi-
tions at the time alfalfa seed should
have been sown last August were
also unfavorable, which affected the
total acreage for the county to
great extent.

pecially the dairymen, are realizing

SWEET CLOVER AND
ALFALFA CAMPAIGN
is A SUCCESS

A campaign for more and better
pasture and hay crops was started in
the state in the spring of 1927 under
the direction of the Agricultural Ser
vice of the University of Delaware,
with the result that hundreds of far
mers have become more interested
in these two legumes and the acre
age of these crops has been mater
tally increased during the last. two
years. This project has met with
unusual success in Kent county as
shown by the fact that approximate
ly .1128 acres of sweet clover, and
1920 acres of alfalfa We're planted
this year, in addition to the 1898
acres of alfalfa sown in 1927. No
comparison can be made in regard
to the sweet clover acreage during
these past two years, rs no definite
records were obtained last year con-
cerning the total amount of this
seed sold in the county. Another
factor which enters into the alfalfa
campaign results is that not all of

SILK STOCKINGS AND THE
TARIFF

Consider the fate of the cotton
stocking And why? Silk, is the
answer.
In the two years between 1928 and
1925 the production of full-fashion-
ed cotton stockings dropped from
1,795,600 dozen pairs to 727,S80 doz-
en- pairs, and when the Government
publishes its statistics for 1927, the
poor old cotton stocking industry
will probably look even worse.
What with silk stockings, silk
gloves, silk hats, even shoes, and
silk several other things, the Amer
ican woman wears more silk than
the woman any other place in the
world. Ours may be an electrical
age, so far as the production is con-
cerned, mechanical age, so far as
labor is concerned, and a steel age,
so far as the history of man is con-
cerned, but it is surely a silk age,
so far as the woman is concerned.
All this is simply another mani
festatiOn of the American standard
of living compared with that of the
rest of the world, and the corner
stone of this American standard of
living is the American policy of a
protective tariff. Eliminate the tar
iff, which keeps out an unrestricted
flow of merchandise from foreign
countries with lower standards Of
living and wages from One-half to
one-tenth of those in the United
States, and inevitably the result
would be a leveling process, which
might help raise the standards in
foreign countries to a very slight
degree, but which will pull our own
standards down about our ears.

Missouri and Wisconsin, which were

for Hoover decisively. Smiths lead in
wet st. Louis proved to be only about
