CUP AT TROPHY GRANGE
Former Gov. Robinson VIII Make
Presentation Speech Tonight

Trophy Grange of FELTON, is hold
ing an open meeting on this even
ing at 8 O'Clock, the occasion being
the awarding of the silver trophy
cup given by the Delaware State
Grange to the boy or girl in the
state who exhibits the best ten ears
of corn at the State Corn Show. This
cup was won this year by Elmer
Roland of Viola who exhibited yell
low corn at the annual show held in
January.
An excellent program has been az
ranged for the evening with short
talks by Professor Wilbur H. Jump,
superintendent of Caesar Rodney
School, Stanley Short of Cheswold
a former club member and winner
of the silver cup awarded by the
State Corn Growers Association, Mr..
A. B. Thomas, of Camden, Kent
County vice-president of the associa-
ton, and Mr.. J. Frank Rice, of Eel
ton, representing the Grange.
The presentation of the cup will
be made by State Master Robert P.
Robinson. This will be the second
presentation speech made by Mr..
Robinson to this young man. At the
Kent County Club Rally in 1928,
Governor Robinson gave $3.50 gold
pieces to the boy and to the girl in
the county who had the most out
standing record of work. Elmer
Roland by his work in the corn club
had the honor of winning the boys
award.
Mr.. A. D. Cobb, of Newark, State
Leader of County Agents, will be

gram by several solos. All club

which the boys and girls are taking
in rural progress.

meeting have been made by Helen
L. ComstOck, Kent County All Club
leader, in cooperation with the
Trophy Grange.

RETURN FOR Personal INCOME
TAX DUE 18TH

Every person 21 years of age liv-
ing in Delaware must make and send
to the State Tax Receiver of this
state a return; regardless, as to
whether such man or woman has an
income from labor, investments, or
not, each year. The last day for
making this return is Saturday,
March 18th, just one week distant,
and the same applies for the U. S.
tax return.
The proper thing to do is, make
the statement on the blank forms
sent you several weeks ago, imme-
diately-if you have not already
done so, and send it to the State
Tax Office in either Dover or George
town, for the state, and Wilmington
for the U. S. return.
Nothing can be gained by delay
hut on the other hand, the conVen-
ience of the citizen and of those en-
ployed in the Federal and State tax
department would be aided by not
uniting off this duty until the final
rush.
Just as the educational campaign
regarding early depositing of Christ
mas mail succeeded so well, we
think, these efforts for prompt filing
of income tax returns.

THE DIsnLUsIONED IMMIGRANT

One of the tragedies of American
life is the contrast between what
many of our immigrants expected to
find in this country, and what they
actually do find. Even if their hopes
were fantastic, it is a shock to them
just the same when the bubble
bursts.
The old saying was current i'll Eu-
rope that gold could be picked up in
our streets. Even today, the idea
prevails over there that this country
is very rich.
So the immigrants come in here
by the hundred thousand, and would
come by the millions if it were not
for the quota law. But once here,
they find it not so easy to get rich.
Many of them have to struggle very
hard just for their daily bread, and
some can't even find work.
Also some idealistic people, who
had looked at America as the land
of freedom and justice, find things
quite different from what they eX-
pected. Often they are fieeced by
sharpers who take advantage OF
their ignorance of our language and
customs. They find it is often diff
cult for a poor man to get justice,
and America does not seem the para
disc they thought it was.
1t is unfortunate that these folks
came over with wrong impressions.
Someone should tell them before they
make up their minds to come, that
the wealth of our people is exagger-
ated, and that it is usually long
and painful process for strangers to
make good in our land.
Some of those folks are better
Americans than the average native.
That is, they have ideals of what
America should be as the land of
freedom and opportunity for all. Let
us be generous to these people here
in Delaware, give them a helping
hand when we have a chance, try
to make our country conform to
their best ideals. Meanwhile they
have to remember that they can not
expect to get on in America unless
they become familiar with our lang
uage and customs.

TOO aSMARTn TO WORK

When the crooks of former days
tried to tempt some young man to
play with them, they used to fiatter
him up by saying that he like them
should live by his wits, that he was
too smart to depend upon the dull
monotonOus drudgery of labor Prob
ably they work the same game on
that class of fellows now.
The feeling that one can avoid
work in life, that there is some short
cut to free cash other than by the
path of toilsome ambition, seems to
be the dominating motive in the
minds of the crooked element. There
never was a time when young men
wanted money so much as now. The
longing for it has become fever.
They see a great deal of free spend
ing, they wish to join the fiashy
crowd that is gambling, drinking,
enjoying life with the girls, engag-
ing in all kinds of excitement.
The slow path up hill by way of
some regular trade or business job,
looks too hopelessly long for them.
Their minds dwell on the details of
crimes, how in just few minutes
work with a gun they can gather in
some large sum, until these diseased
thoughts result in some open break
with the law. 1t is the very young
fellows who fall for this line of
thought now, silly and stupid boys,
who are not brainy enough to see
that if they pursue this course they
will spend the major part OF their
short years in Jail.
How to get the idea out OF their
heads, there is the problem for our
our psychologists, our
police, our prison officials, here in
1t should be possible
to bring influences to bear
on them, to point out to their dull
minds, that instead of being brighter
and smarter than the average, they
are the worst kind of fools that the
world produces.
