There were more turkeys grown in
Broadkill hundred this year than
ever before. Nearly every farm has
flocks from twenty to one hundred
turkeys, roaming the fields and Mrs.
Harvey Short, near Milton, has more
than 300 in her flock. More eggs
were set and Matched here and wea-
ther conditions were ideal for the
successful rearing of the focks. Dur
ing the past few years turkeys nave
brought large prices in the city mar
kets and there is no difficulty in mar
keting all that is grown, because
dealers call at the farms and pay
cash for the fowl. Many farmers
have come to realize that these fowl
can be raised with proper attention
and that there is good money in
their growth and consequently are
paying more attention to this indus
try. In former years the growing of
turkeys had been left to the, house
wife, who has found it profitable to
devote as much time from her other
duties as possible to rear small
hocks. Within the next few years
turkeys are going to be given more
in the Broadkill dis
trict as money producers. 1t is the
opinion of some that they can be
colonized and grown just as chick
ems and many are seriously consid-
ering the devotion of part of their
farms to growing them.

DEADLY THRUST AT
LABOR

Thomas Nixon Carver, Professor
of Political Economy, Harvard Uni
versity and Hugh w. Lester in
"This Economic World and How It
May be Improved" Published by
A w. Shaw Co., Chicago and New
York:
THE most direct and deadly
thrust at labor is made by those
who are working to increase the
supplies of manual labor, first, by
attacking our immigration law,
second, by attacking our system of
public education, third, by attacking
prohibition, fourth, by advocating
large families among the poor, thus
assuring a plentiful supply not only
of cannon fodder but of cheap labor
as we'll. Many Of these attacks are
camouf1aged under various other
nance. In reality, they are all
aimed to make things easier for the
employing classes by supplying them
with increasing quantities of low
wage labor. Those who are working
against our immigration laws are SO
obviously working for the impover-
ishment of our own manual workers
as to make it an insult to the in
telligence of the reader even to stop
to discuss it.
Certain disappointed spokes-
men of labor are attacking the pro-
hibition law. When men sober up,
begin to work steadily, and to save
and invest a little money, they be
come more independent, more in
clined to pick and choose their jobs.
AS Mrs. Cannon has ironically eX-
pressed it, Prohibition has with
drawn from the economic field that
last hope of the oVerburdened
American housekeeper, the faithful
charWoman, sole support of
drunken husband A gentleman in
Spokane once gave a unique argu-
ment against prohibition. In the
old days, said he, when the lumber
jack came into town after several
months in the woods, with few
hundred dollars in his pockets, it
took him only a short time to blow
in his money. Then as soon as he
sobered up, he was compelled to go
back to work. Under prohibition it
took him months where it formerly
took him weeks to get rid of his
money, and until he did, he would
not go back to work" PIP. 1878.

MANAGERS AID ENFORCE
MENT
Heads of City Governments Found Ar
dent Supporters of Enforcing Law

The Christian Science Monitor has sent
inquiries to executives of all American
cities where the city management form
of government is in operation, and has
received replies from more than half Of
them to a number of questions which
that paper propounded in order to learn
what has been the success of the man
agerial form of government.
A series of articles in the Christian
Science Monitor gives the result of the
survey In one of these articles it is said
that the city managers almost without
exception claim that law enforcement
including the enforcement of the liquor
statutes, is more effective in their munich
palities than it was before the managerial
form of government came in. Only one
out of more than 200 managers answering
the Monitors QUESTIONABLE believes that
enforcement of the Volstead act is less
satisfactory than under the mayoralty
system.

LEAGUE NOT REPUDIATED
Pastor Shows How Story of Church
Action Was Greatly Distorted
by Press

The Associated Press recently broad
cast story regarding the reputation of
the Anti-Saloon League of New Jersey by
the Presbyterian church of Caldwell, N
j. Rev. Edwin 1. Stearns. pastor of that
church. read to the evening congregation
of his church on April 30 the following:
"a statement has been given national
publicity to the effect that our church
took the Anti-Saloon League out of its be-
nevolent budget because of lack of con-
f1dence in the League.
1.-THE facts are that in poorly attend
ed business meeting, without premedita-
ton or announcement, some of our people
thinking the League was not a charity.
but cause for a yearly contribution.
placed the League in better position to
receive the aid and Endorsement of the
church. The time-honored plan of signed
enlistment cards for individual financial
support will result in the Leagues getting
more money. The discouraged vets grasp
ed at this straw and twisted the meaning
to show just what they wanted to show.

the mighty Associated Press, front-paged,
editorialzed and cartooned Tt was max

GREAT HELP TO LEAGUE
1.-THE Anti-Saloon League. the Church
in action against the nullifcationists is
the only club the church has and is feared
by the alcoholic drug addiets and those
who contribute to their destruction 1t is
not perfect, but its effectiveness is to be
judged by the testimony Of its enemies
One sentence recently sent out from Buff
falo is worth a million to the League
cause. Here it is:
1t has been generally recognized
that our national fight will meet with
the quickest success when the organ
lied power of the Anti-Saloon League
is eliminated.
cor, take another sentence from the
same document
We are on the highroad to success
when the Anti-Saloon League has
been discredited throughout the coun-
try
IF the League is ever discredited its
supporters will be the first to know it, and
not its victims"
The broadcasting of this incident in
connection with the action of a Presbyter-
ian church in New Jersey also further en-
phasizes a tendency on the part of the
press to play up every item of news that
seems to reflect defeat for the Anti-Sa
loon League. If "the unusual consti-
tutes news, little items of the kind re-
ferred to above, played up under scare
headlines, certainly show how few are
dry defeats. This supposed or alleged
hostile action of a New Jersey church
constituted big news and probably re-
ceived as much or more publicity than
would have been given a report of
Presbyterian assembly's indorsing the An
ti-Saloon League.
