OUR COUNTRY HOMES

The folks who own a home in ru-
raj neighborhoods in Delaware
should prize such home very much
now. There has been a great i'm
provement in such dwellings during
recent years, and the people who
own them are taking more pride in
them than ever before, and they dc
we'll to keep them up in nice condi-
ton.
Many of us look forward to the
time when every rural home in this
neighborhood will have an air OF
prosperity, when all the country
roads will be hardened so that they
will provide good travelling summer
and winter, and through the spring
time also, when many country roads
used to be in poor condition.
These homes should have advanc-
ed very considerably in value during
the past 10 years. Now that auto
mobiles have become common, many
families can live inexpensively in
such dwellings, and drive in to near
by cities and towns to work. Such
a home gives a family a chance for
gardening and poultry raising,
which helps keep the cost of living
down.
The beauty of our country districts
should appeal to many people now
living in large cities, who are tired
of rush and noise and dirt and con-
gestion. They would find health and
comfort in coming out to such ru-
raj home, and enjoyment of the
loveliness of nature. They can use
their automobiles to come into Mil
ford or other towns in Delaware to
trade, and to carry them to any line
of work or business they may be
carrying on. We look to see a large
of the rural life OF our
county during the next few years
from this type of people. They will
find many bright folks in these rural
neighborhoods, with good schools
and churches.

WHEN FOLKS keep pointing out
the faults of their home towns, 1t
seems as if they wished to discour-
age people from attempting further
progress.

EVERY TIME a store clerk

SUMMER TOURS ON SHIPS

M1ME was when ships would be
Wat sea for months, only to stag
ger into port with a crew des-
perately Ill from what we now know
As deficiency diseases"-diseases
such as scurvy and beriberi which
come from not eating food which
contains the vital vitamins.
For one thing, the mariners of
those times didn't know what caused
the diseases, and if they had known,
they would have been little better
of, for they had no way then of
preserving fruits and vegetables for
long periods.
Modem Preserving
Today, all that is changed. We
know that certain elements CON
tanned in fruits and vegetables will
prevent the deficiency diseases.
Most ships have mammoth refrig-
orators to preserve some Of their
food supply. But even more impor-
tant m the diversi6cation of diet at
sea is the use of canned foods. For
food preserved in cans is steriEzed
m such a way that it loses practically
none of its vitamin content. And
its use, coupled with the foods which
are held in cold storage, provides
"a diet so delicious and so healthful
that physicians nowadays don't hesi-
tate to prescribe sea trips for the
ImoSt delicate patients.
The food which goes onto a ship
is never left to chance. Men with
vast experience of the dietetic needs
Eof passengers and also of their likes
and dislikes compile the orders, and
when the foods arrive they are in
spected with as much care as Gus
tom officers bestow on a suspected
IEmuggler. The Inspector has to

MILFORD, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1926
THrMBING FOR A RIDE

People who take automobile trips
of some length, remark on the large
number of young men and boys
along the roads who lift up theiI
thumbs and beg for rides. Many oi
them stand out in the street, so that
a car has to turn way out for them
and they often make disagreeable
gestures or remarks when they are
passed by.
The question rises, as to what all
these fellows are doing? Many no
doubt are school pupils or older stu
dents who are spending their spare
time or vacations in riding around
the country. Some may be fellows
who have gotten jobs some little dis
tance from their homes, so that they
depend on getting rides to and from
work.
Many of them are probably idling
around, when they should be work
ing at some job. The ability to get
around the country without paying
anything for it, is temptation to
restlessness. Young fellows are
tempted thus to spend their spare
time circulating around, in the hopes
of stirring up excitement. Many Of
them use this means to reach the
nearest large city, not so much to
find work, as to find experiences not
helpful to steady industry.
A good many drivers must take
these fellows in, or they would get
discouraged and quit. Perhaps some
drivers enjoy giving them rides, and
like to exchange observations with
them. The society of those who are
merely loafng without effort to get
work, can't be specially valuable.
If there was only some way to dis
tinguish those who are working
somewhere and want rides to get to
and from their jobs, motorists would
gladly take these Industrious ones
in. But considering that the major
ity of them are probably riding mer-
ely for fun, there is no obligation to
accommodate them.

liners recently he had tbirty-hve
different kinds of canned fruits TO
inspect, and hfty-three different
kinds of canned vegetables. The
fresh Vegetables carried on this ship
in season number seventy-seven
items, and the fresh fruits number
thirV-eight. In all there are ap-
proximately 1900 items on its
Stewards Account of Stores.
More Variety Than a Farm
1t is not surprising nowadays,
therefore, to hear the passengers
say at the end of a summer tour
we had more variety in our menus,
more different foods, than you can
get ON a farm" For what farm
ever boasted 100 different foods!
The main canned fruits on this
boat were peaches, pineapple, pears,
apricots and Royal Anne cherries,
but there were many other fruits in
lesser amounts. Pie is as popular
on shipboard as on land, so big No.
10 cans of apples, California peeled
pie peaches, crushed pineapple,
Maine blueberries, sour pitted cher
ries, and some half dozen other
kinds are taken on board to meet
this demand Many of these are
put up, to preserve their color, in
sanitary enamel lined cans.
Canned peas, tomatoes and corn,
Of course, are stocked in large guam
titles, but there are also enough of
the less staple vegetables-fancy
succotash made with tiny green lima
beans, asparagus tips and fancy Cali
fornia mammoth white asparagus,
dark red whole beets, pimientos-to
stock a good sized grocery store.
This ship carries canned milk, -four,
sugar, syrup, ffty-four different
cereals, dried fruits. nuts. pickles.

In the ships big refrigerator
there are alse many kinds of fresh

cheese, and ice cream in endless
varieties, and several dozen kinds
of poultry and game.
But canning and preserving play
their parts, too, among the meats
and fish. This particular ship car

CHANCES TO MAKE MONEY

There are a lot of people who
think they have to go off long dis
tance and do something quite differ
ent to make money. And yet right
in any good town like Milford there
are chances to make money. A good
many people have made it in the
past, and more will make it in the
future.
Your own home locality is for the
average person the best place to
make money, because people know
their own localities best, they have
an idea what people want, and what
they will pay their money for. The
way to make money is to learn how
to furnish some service or supply Of
goods in a better or less expensive
way than it is being done at the
present time. AS human efforts are
always faulty, there are always such
chances perceptible to those who
have eyes to see.

THE CHURCHES OPPORTUNITY

oOAhOAA6AJ Va - O--AA CAt@~--~ -
There are 100000 young people
in this country under 25 years Of
age, who are untouched by any re-
ligious organization. Here is a tre-
mendous field for the churches to
work in.
The majority of these young folks
have no special prejudice against
churches, only they have never
found them interesting. Something
has to be done to make the churches
attractive to them. The majority
can not be won at first by preaching
to them. Organizations like the Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts that give
them pleasant boy and girl life, can
help them. The modern church has
to use modern methods to touch this
great mass of young folks outside of
its reach. Have you ever given this
problem consideration from boys
or girls standpoint?

A COLLEGE professor whose spe-
cialty is climate. recently remarked
that a climate which encourages
people to spend large part of their
time in the open air, is on the whole
the best. Those communities locat-
ed where people can live out Of
doors much of the time, are wonder
fully favored.
The climate Of Delaware is invig-
Grating and healthful, and the
wholesomeness of it has been lead
ing factor in the development Of our
State. But many people neutralize
its good effects by living in closely
shut houses much of the year. Men
and women were made to live in
sunshine and fresh air.

GETTING TOGETHER

Business and civic organizations
frequently have what they call "Get
together" meetings. Such meetings
are a realization that so long as the
people in any community like Mil
ford go their separate ways and pur-
sue their own individual ends alone,
not much will be done for commun-
ity development.
They need combined action to util-
ize their aggregate power. The first
step, is for people to get together, to
get acquainted, and to form friend
ships. After they meet in this way,
ideas begin to crop out, and sugges-
tions are made of things that can be
done for the general good. The Ro-
tary and Kiwanis Clubs are doing
this work most efficiently where such
clubs exist
