GLENDALE
The Two Political Parties

A birdseye view of the politica
situation as it now appears
unique in many ways.
The Republican Convention whicl
is now (Tuesday) in session il
r Dover, will do about as the Organ
Senator, Houston for Congress, ant
the rest of State officers will b,
nominated according to the state
already made There will be threats
made and the great things which
the dissatisfied will do to defeat the
party, will amount to nothing ant
at the command of the leader
things will resume their peaceablt
state and all will be forgiven.
The Democratic Party at this
writing seem to be in a hot fight
to elect delegates favorable to eth
er Bayard or Marvel. If reports are
true the Bayard men have plenty
of cash on hand to debauch Demo
Gratis voters, or any one else, which
they can induce to vote their way
This is a shame-it is a pity that
men of either party cannot hold a
delegate election without the use of
| money to debase any one of either
| party who takes it. If Mr.. Marvel
refuses to enter into the buying
| game it is so much to his credit,
and if defeated, he will come. forth
with clean hands, when in these
days of political corruption, is a
credit to any man who is able to do
it. The present outlook of the pOlit-
ical situation, looks as if the Re-
publican Party would win. They are
so strongly entrenched in everyway,
yet a wrong move may turn people
to the Democratic way of thinking
and reverse the present way things
are going under Republican rule.
When both conventions have been
held, candidates nominated then the
voter will have something to say in
regard to the future of both parties.
For Farming
Chicken farming has long been in
vogue in Delaware and quite a few
farmers have been very successful
in the poultry business and have a
surplus in the banks.
Another class of farming is now
being tried by many farmers in this
county Wisconsin seems to have
some of the largest and most sue
cessful fur farmers in the world
at the present time. FrOmm Bros
Inc, Herbert A. Nieman also
seems to be most prosperous, of any
now employed in the business.
These firms are engaged entirely
in breeding and raising Silver foxes
whose pelts bring enormous prices.
Other fur farms have been estab-
lished in other parts of the country,
with what success we cannot say at
this time.
One thing essential to be success
full in raising either foxes, minks or
muskrats is to buy your breeders
from reliable firms, and not fool
with those unreliable firms who ad-
vertise extensively through the pa
pers in glowing terms of the stock
which they propose to sell.
Another thing one must learn be-
fore. entering the growing of fur for
profit is the care which the animals
must have to be profitable. Suitable
quarters and food.
There will be many failures, yet (
some will be successful because /
they will go at it in systematic
way and keep it up.
While the pelts of the fur bearing |
animals some are raising are high .
business becomes a general prices
will be much lower-and those who |
intend to enter the business of fur
farming need not expect to make a
fortune quickly. 1t will take pa
tience and perhaps a long wait be-
fore the business will become a
paying investment and to many it
it will prove improbable in every
way.
We understand that there is at
the present time in Delaware sew
eral farms which is devoted to the
raising of fur bearing animals. We
will watch this venture and make
4 report at some future time.
StarlingS
The starting which has been de-
3pised by the public for so long
seem to have some useful qualities.
The Japanese beetle which have in ]
raded this country and are extend {
ng their devastating forces from I
me state to another, without a rem
,dy having been found to destroy s
hem. This is where the Starlings {
ome in. Some writer's say that they s
,refer the Japanese beetles, more
han any other food and will desert 6
ny other class of food to secure
east of beetles. g
If this is true should they not be S
e protected from the onslaught of I
he gunners-the Startling like 9TH
r members of the gTackle family {
re not protected by law and those {
1ho desire may kill them at will
Sometime last year or the year /
efore the farmers in one of the !
ecks made war on the Starlings
yhich made their homes in their +
arms. It is said that over eight
undred were killed in one night,
nd several hundred were destroyed
fterwards in various ways.
Perhaps the farmers did not know
the time they engaged in the L
illing of the starlings their value
l their destroying Japanese Beet
IS.
The government and State have n
cen eXpending thousands of dollars W
, eradicate these insects and have a
