A charge of this kind is favorite

senator made specific reference to
the Presidents power and he "drew"
Mr.. Hoover, as the latter does his
trout with deftly thrown fly. But
the remarks of both gentlemen
leave the situation about as it was.
The law is not enforced, says the
senator, but he admits he does not
know from first-hand evidence. And
the President says the senator sure
ly would not make such charges
without reason, but it is fair to give
the officials opportunity to meet the
charges. The senator having avowed
his charge was based upon "com-
mon knowledge" and offering moth
ing specific except against the for
eign embassies, just what is gained,
is the Washington attitude. 1t is
generally felt conditions are i'm

ate because its shifting blaze Of
colors permits 1t to blend with any
type of coloring or shade OF cos
tune. and also because it was said
of the opal in the past that. as it
united in itself the coIors of every
other gem. so did 1t possess all
their virtues.
BY this same characteristic 1t

that "as a gem of the Sun it ex-

In the symbolism of the past the
opal stood for hope, innocence and
purity. All the talismanic proper

attributed to 1t, with the addition
of one more. for it was believed

MUCH OF STRAWBERRY CROP
NOW PUT IN COLD STORAGE

More than 100000 barrels of straw
berries were packed by the "cold-
pack" or "frozen-pack" method in
1928, according to George M. Darrow,
senior pomologist of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This amount is the equivalent of
1000 to 5000 carloads of fresh ber-
ries in crates, he says.
Handling strawberries in this way
is the outstanding development of
the industry in recent years, Mr..
Darrow says. The fresh berries are
packed in 50-gallon barrels, usually
with 1 part sugar to or parts
berries, and placed in storage at a
temperature below freezing. Packed
in this way they are like fresh ber-
ries when ready for use.
Preservers have found that a bet
ter preserve can be made from cold
packed berries than from berries
fresh from the field.
Also because preserved berries de-
teriorate after a time, cold packing
and storage offer remedy for this
difficulty by making it possible to
put up preserves as they are needed.
Furthermore, the preservers can
utilize their preserving plant the
year through instead of for a brief
period of few weeks at the straw
berry season.
A still newer development, Mr..
Darrow says, is the cold packing
and storing of both strawberries and
raspberries in small containers for
home use. Several million pack
ages were handled by the cold-pack
method this year.

AMERICAS BIG BONFIRE

President Hoover again calls upon
the American people to stop that
unholy bonfire of destruction in
which our folks, to the tune of sew
eral hundred million dollars annual
ly, consume their homes and bust
ness buildings. We are supposed to
celebrate Fire Prevention Week from
October to 13, and something more
than a perfunctory notice is called
for.
No other country has any such fire
record. Meanwhile our fires sweep
through our towns, crushing busi-
ness hopes, bringing deprivation to
families, and involving a tax on
every home, through the insurance
necessary to cover these losses.
The American people are usually
wide awake, but it seems stupid for
them to tolerate this continuous and
needless loss. Let us at least say
that here in Delaware it shall stop.

More Important Than Food

A frequently asked question is:
Can a person live longer without
food than he can without water? The
answer, of course, is Eyes" A
healthy man or woman can survive
from 40 to 60 days without fool. But
if the same person is completely de-
prived of all water the end comes in
from 8 to IL days. This is because
the average human body is about 20
per cent water. Thus water is more
important for the continuance of
health and even life than food. This
is especially so during the summer
months when we give off more water
through perspiration. Every adult
should take at least two quarts of
water during every "a hours. Chill
dren also need liberal quantities of
fresh, clean drinking water. Even
infants must not be neglected in this
respect for they cry for water as
well as food.

THE ELEMENTS OF PROGRESS


When communities and towns go
ahead, a number of factors enter in
to accomplish this result. Some Of
them advance because of fortunate
circumstances, without much effort.
But that is unusual. In the main
the growth and development of a
community depend mostly on wheth-
er it's people have certain qualities
and traits.
What are these qualities and
traits? The following might be men
toned as specially important, espe-
cially for Milford:
1. The possession of a group of
people who are willing to give con-
siderable amount of time in a public
spirited way, to promoting good
causes in the community, including
business advance.
2. A general willingness to CO.
operate on the part of the people,
which calls for interest and recep-
tivity when progressive ideas are
suggested.
8. The absence of the carping and
knocking spirit that slows down at
tempts to accomplish improved re-
suits.
4. A considerable spirit of enter
prise and ambition among the busi-
ness men and possessors of capital,
which makes them willing to start
new undertakings, and to constantly
make improvements in the work they
are carrying on.
1t will be noticed that two of these
characteristics call for leadership
among people of some prominence in
the community, while the remaining
two call for cooperation among the
rest of the people.
Where the great mass of the peo-
pie are willing to cooperate and
help on public movements by friend
ly support, it is apt to happen that
leadership will develop among those
capable of exercising the same. There
are always people who will go ahead |
and do things with efficiency, if the
mass of the people will give them
good support. 1t is so here in Mil
ford, anyway.

DAIRY HERD IMPROVEMENT
is REFLECTED IN MILK PAII

Wisconsin leads all other States in
the number of dairy-herd-improve-
ment associations. 1t has 154 out of
a total of nearly 1,100 in all the
States, according to reports compiled
by the Bureau of Dairy Industry of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
These associations give dairymen
information as to the profitableness
of their cows. On the basis of such
information, association members
have been wedding out the less de-
sirable animals and retaining heifers
from the more productive cows. The
value of this practice is reflected in
the steady increase in the average
production of the cows under test in
these associations. In 1920 the aver
age production per COW in these
herds was 247 pounds of butterfat.
In 1924 this had increased to an
average of 279 pounds. According to
The bureaus records the production
figures for the years from 1925 to
1928 were 284 ponds, 2S9 pounds, 293 |
pounds, and 295 pounds.

BUSINESS ESSENTIALS

1t is interesting to look over the
programs of commercial and bust
ness schools, to see what elements
they consider vital in training young
people for business careers. The
country is full of these schools to-
day, and most of them provide very
useful instruction. A young persons
chances of commercial success are
much improved if they take these
courses.
These school managements are in
constant touch with employers who
come to them looking for promising
candidates for their vacancies. They
must know pretty well what the es-
sentials of business training are.
1t would probably be found that
the great majority of these business
schools give instruction in advertis-
ing. They would tell their pupils
that their chances for success will
be greatly improved if they study
this art, and fit themselves to do
good publicity work for future en-
ployers. They must constantly get
requests from employers for young
people who can write effective adver-
tising.
The prominence of advertising
courses in these schools suggests
that the use of such publicity matter
is considered one of the leading es-
sentials of business today. 1t is a
necessary factor in the art of sales
manship.
A business may be very method
ically and efficiently run according
to old-fashioned ideas, and yet go to
pieces because it has no adequate
plan for calling attention to its
goods. 1t is the business of adver-
tising to get the facts about a busi-
ness into the minds of the people. If
that is well done, a concern should |
make as much progress in a year or
two, as it could make in 10 years if
it does not tell its message to the
people.

/ chase it as a gift for Cleopatra
Opals were greatly admired by
Queen Victoria of England, who
was something of a gem connois-
seur. She had a large collection
of them, and as each of her daught-
ers married she presented her with
set In this way she showed her
contempt of the superstition then
spreading in England that opals
were unlucky. This superstition
began with the publication of Sir
Walter Scott's novel, "Anne of
Geierstein," a fantastic tale of an
enchanted princess whose i'll fate
was linked with the opal she hab-
itually wore in her hair, and for
a time came near destroying the
opal's splendid talismanic heritage
from the past.
The tourmaline, alternate natal
stone. for October, is a relatively
modern discovery, also noted for
its varied coloring, and possessing
remarkable electric properties.
When heated it has all the attract
i've power Of a magnet, so that
there seems to be some scientific
ground for it's use as an amulet to
attract friends and confer inspira-

MOB LAWLESSNESS

Keen regret is felt that labor trou-
bles have developed to the point OF
mob action in North Carolina, and
as a result one woman has been
killed while one of the labor men
was fiogged. Nothing is exer settled
right by the rule of the mob. It
takes quiet reasoning and spirit of
concession to settle quarrels, and
mobs are led by the most violent
elements.
Fortunately the forces Of law and
order in that historic state are NOV
ing to put down this lawless spirit.
The American people must learn
that if they want free country,
every man must be protected in the
exercises of his just rights.

who after a summer Of arduous toll,
is now getting his crops under cover.
He has worked not merely to feed
himself and his family, but the ma
tion's prosperity is built on his ef-
fort.
We rejoice in his successes, so far
as he has had them in 1919. We con-
gratulate him on whatever prosperity
he has attained. If he has added to
his store, it will benefit us all. If
the fates have been against him, if

No to his hopes, we are truly sorry.

NEW CHURCH IN SLAUGHTER
NECK

For more than half century, Old
SLAUGHTER Neck Church has been a
landmark; an historic spot, a rever-
ed shrine and a beacon light to men
in various walks of life; and hum
dreds, yes, thousands can see her in
retrospection as the hallowed place
of baptism, of Sabbath school with
earnest Christian teachers; gospel
sermons by men truly called to
preach; at whose altar sacred mar
riage VOWS were pledged; where
men and women were converted as
the prayers of the faithful ascended
to the throne of mercy.
Then, too, the old church cemetery
is a holy spot, for tits here breaking
hearts have said farewell to their
dearest on earth.
Time has passed, men have lived
and died; and the old building has
decaying timbers and crumbling
walls, but the dauntless spirit Of the
Old Church lives on, tireless; un-
afraid, and the boys and girls of
present church, have
a beautiful new building erected as
a monument to the faith of the IA
theirs.
