a beach party was held last Friday
night at Bethany Beach with about
twenty young people attending
Pleasant weather, games and good
''eats" helped to make the evening
very enjoyable.
Mothers Day was observed with a
special worship program in each de-
partment of the church school, and
in the morning worship service Rev.
Davis sermon was on the mother
theme, as was also the anthem by
the choir. In the evening Rev. Da-
Wis gave a splendid address on the
place of religious education in the
program of the church today, with a
good number attending. Let's con-
tinue to have a good audience each
Sunday evening.
Next Sunday evening, May 10, the
Rev. F. A. Lindhorst, director of re-
ligious education for the Wilmington
Conference, will be present with us
to show his stereopticon slides on
the religious educational work that
has been done in this conference.
These slides are very interesting,

of this expense was paid by small

the balance from the candy fund.
The total cost was $164. The life of

the future pictures may be shown
free of all charges.
A number of pictures were con-
tributed at the exepnse of the school
and the total amounted to about one |

GAINESVILLE

Many of our farmers are in sus-
pense at this time, as to the out
come of the strawberry crop. North
Carolina and Virginia berries are
flooding the market, and are selling
at retail in Philadelphia at 15c to
zoe a quart; but don't be discour-
aged as their crop is almost over,
and that will help the Delaware
farmer to get a better price for his
crop.
The new dairy station near Days
boro contemplated by the commit
tee, may soon have their plans per-
fected and building will then be
started. Each week shows an in
crease in the number of quarts OF
milk delivered to platform. William
p, Steele has a fine herd Of cattle
that will eventually produce a large
quantity of milk. Some Of our sue
cessful farmers are giving serious
thought to the dairy proposition.
Peter T. Helm and family have
made arrangements to occupy the
home of George H. Townsend, Of
Millville, for the summer.
The locusts will soon be singing
and then watch the mercury rise.
City folks are beginning to make
their appearance. They are always
welcome to dur town.
Turkey raising seems to be in
creasing. Raymond Banks has made
plans to have flock of several hun
bred birds ready for the Thanksgiv-
ing market.
Flowing the ground, cutting the
clover and then picking strawberries
seems to be upermost in the minds
of many.
Charles Calhoun has improved his
home by building new front porch
and painting his house, but the
work was hindered somewhat by
a large family of bees, that made
their home between the weather
boarding and the plaster. 1t is quite
evident that large supply OF money
is stored there. No wonder the
home is always sweet.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
A Newly Discovered Club

Ea-c.ia-ut BY congress of the measure designed to
prohibit pr.oH-madr goods being sold in interstate com
nerce, has opened a new field for regulation and pro
hihtion. which. apparently. is almost without limit
Though the measure passed the senate by > rot. Of
So to n, MAN, % the senators voted under protest
IND eating that they feared the wrath Of union labor
II they failed to restrict sale Of priscn-made goods
within the stat. in which they we're manufactured.
There can be No -crious objection to this restriction,
I'll. objection lies in the fact that the restriction should
sone from the United states congress instead of the
legislature Of the various states. IL the law is up
held By tbs supreme court, and il Has the consensus
of the senatorial body that it would be, it vests con-
gre With a new and almost unlimited power. Re-
stricticn or interstate commerce could be manipulated
10 utterly destroy. commercially and industrislly, any
section OF state, and IN times Of grave differences be-
tween sections. such = during the ante-bellum days
when the North and South were divided on questions
of policy and principle, il would place in the hands Of
the majority a club" with which the most courageous
minority could be ccved.
Indicative OF what is in the mind Of tn esenate in
connection with extension Of this new source OF con.
gressional power Is the following statement made by
Senator Blease Of South Carolina during debate on
the HAYES bill on December 10:
IF the congress or the United States can %constitu-
tionaIly enact a measure prohibiting prison-made goods
from being sold in interstate commerce, what would
prevent congress from cnacting a Law prohibiting the
sale OF goods made by foreign labor? For instance, in
some sections OF the country the immigration laws ara
violated openly and flagrantly by bringing lsborers
across the border. Such lsborers proouee crops which
are sent all over this country, and as soon as the crops
are made the violation of the immigration law is en-
deavored to be rcmcdicd by sending the foreigners
back home. II congress can enact a law prohibiting the
selling Of prison-madc goods or the shipping Of prison
made goods, why csn il not enact a law prohibiting
the sale Of commodities produced and manufactured
with the help Of foreign labor?"
In response to the South Csrclinisn's query Senator
shortridgc. one of the proponents Of the Halves bill.
said: ave can do SO, in my judgment; and the Law
would be perfectly valid
IN a very obvious that congress Is not full satisfied
with the powers granted by constitutional amendments
and measures designed to increase te scope Of its
functions. However. II the power 10 regulate inter
state commerce in this manner is upheld by the SUI
preme court. the majority in congress viii he IN posi-
tion to regulate or prohibit whatever and wherever il
may desire.
