with which we emerge from this period
will be determined by whether the in
dividuals and the local communities
continue to meet their responsibilities.
Throughout this depression I have
insisted upon organization OF these
forces through industry, through local
government and through charity, that
they should meet this crisis by their
own initiative, by the assumption OF
their own responsibilities. The Federal
Government has sought to do its part
by example in the expansion OF employ
ment, by affording credit to drought
sufferers for rehabilitation, and by CO.
operation with the community, and thus
to avoid the opiates of government
charity and the sitting of our national
spirit of mutual Self-help.
We can take courage and pride In
the effective work of thousands OF
voluntary organizations for provision OF
employment, for relief of distress, that
have sprung up over the entire Nation:
Industry and business have recognized
social obligation to their employees as
never before. The State and local
governments are being helpful. The
people are themselves succeeding in this
task. Never before in a great depression
has there been so systematic pro-
lection against distress; never before
has there been so little social disorder;
never before has there been such an
outpouring Of the spirit Of Self-sacrit1ce
and of service.
ResOurcefulness Never Fails.
The ever-growing complexity OF
modern life, with its train of eVermore
perplexing and difficult problems, is a
challenge to our individual characters
and to our devotion to our ideals. The
reSourcefulness of America when chal-
lenged has never failed. Success Is not
gained by leaning upon government to
solve all the problems before us. That
way leads to enervation of will and de-
Struction of character. Victory over this
depression and over our other difficulties
will be won by the resolution Of our
people to fight their own battles in their
communities by stimulating their in
genuity to solve their own problems, by
taking new courage to be masters OF
their own destiny in the struggle of life.
This is not the easy way, but 1t is
the American way. And it was
Lincoln'S way.
The ultimate goal of the American
social ideal is equality of opportunity
and individual initiative. These are not
born Of bureaucracy. This ideal is the
expression of the spirit of our people.
This ideal obtained at the birth of the
Republic. It was the ideal of Lincoln.
It Is the ideal upon which the Nation
has risen to unparalleled greatness.
We are going through period when
character and courage are on trial, and
where the very faith that is within US
is under test. Our people are meeting
this test. And they are doing more
than the immediate task Of the day.
They are maintaining the ideals of our
American system. BY their devotion to
these ideals we shall come out of these
times stronger in character, in courage
and in faith.

NEW YORK (N.A.N.A).-A man
raced toward the closing door Of SUBJ
way train. The door won, but from
five cars down came q shout from the
one guard who closes all of the train
doors by pressing a button. He was
holding his own door open for the be-
lated passenger.

in response to word of thanks, told
me never to close the door in any

the dangers associated with a too CEN
tralized government, Mr.. Hoover stated
that If the shifting of responsibilities
upon the Federal Government by States
and municipalities is carried on to an
extreme 1t will lead to a superstate
where every man becomes the servant
of the State and real liberty is lost.
Such a government was not the kind
Abraham Lincoln sought to build, the
President said.
While the greater part of his tribute
to the memory of Lincoln was devoted
to cautioning against the drift toward
centralized government, the President
gave a strong reminder of the public
need for greater law observance.
The President stated with respect to
this that no stronger statement has
ever been made than that of Lincoln
upon obedience to law as the founda-
ton of the Republic.
Strong Local Issues Arising.
Counseling against a too centralized
government, President Hoover called
attention to the fact that there Is an
unceasing agitation that the Govern
ment in Washington assume new f1nan-
cial burdens and undertake increased
burdens in regulation of abuses and
the prosecution Of crime. This pointed
reference to this issue is accepted as
having been prompted by the present
issue of extending relief to drought suf-
ferers and the unemployed and to the
question of greater cooperation on the
part of States and municipalities in the
enforcement of the Volstead law. He
admitted that since Lincoln's time many
forces have presented themselves which
have become more potent than the State
and local communities can deal with
alone, either financially or by jurisdic-
ton, and that Federal aid becomes nee
essary. But Mr.. Hoover expressed the
belief that regardless of this realiza-
ton. the time has come when there
must be a check.

should be in every respect "repre-
sentatives of the administration
which the people have placed in
charge of their government; that
they shall be wholly in sympathy
with the policies and political views
OF the man whom the people have
elected as President and shall work
whole-heartedly to make his admin
istratiOn a success"
Beyond all question, the best poll
tics is the best public service" he
said. There are many ways, in no
sense partisan or political, in which
Presidential officers generally and
postmasters in particular can help
the administration to achieve its
aims and purposes"
He then told the delegates that an
economical and efficient manage
ment of public business; protection
of the people against excessive
taxes, and the balancing of the ma
tion's business in this period of de-
preston were objectives of the pres
ent Administration and went on to
describe how these objectives affect
ed the postal service, the largest of
the Federal departments in person
mel and outlay of money.
He urged the postmasters to en-
ploy every possible device to bring
down operation costs without cur
failing efficient service.

work on which manual labor was
being considered.
State Senator Joseph B. Green
has expressed the opinion that a
special session of the Legislature
should be called at once to provide
for taking care of the unemployed
by giving them employment.
He declared that he did not see
the necessity for confining apprO-
priations to $1,OOO,OOO, as suggest
ed when the State has a balance of
$11,000,000. The State is not sup
posed to be in business for profit,
he said, but should collect enough
for running expenses.
He did not think that the MEM
bers of the Legislature should be
asked to serve without pay as had
also been suggested, but if any of
the members wanted to donate their
pay to the relief fund, they could
do so. He understood, he said, that
merchants are having difficulty in
meeting expenses owing to high
taxes levied upon them. Farmers
are also in bad shape financially, he
said.
Senator Green said that different
communities in the State are in
need of State aid so they may lower
their taxes. He would have several
bills to present if a special session
is called and he objected to the ses-
sion of the Legislature being con-
fined to one day, as also suggested.

The two lower counties and rural
New Castle county had local option
laws for some time before national
prohibition, these local laws pro-
hibiting manufacture, transportation
and sale of alcoholic beverages.
In 1919 there were four breweries
operating in Delaware. All four
were in Wilmington, because under
local option effective elsewhere in
the State breweries were banned.
These four breweries, according
to the 1920 census figures employed
a total of ninety-four workers who
drew wages in 1919 amounting to
$121, 900.
The value of materials used in the
four breweries was $4,000 while
the value of the manufactured pro-

ALFALFA is A
PROFITABLE CROP
[Confinued from Frs! Page]

OF our farm crops, with particular
reference to corn and wheat and
many of our fruits which are sell
ing far below the cost of produc-
tion.
The chief expense in growing al
falfa is incurred at the seeding
period, but after the crop has be-
come well established the cost of
producing this hay in comparison
with the value received per acre is
much lower than that of the major
portion of our other farm crops in
this section of the country. These
facts have resulted in a strong ten
dency for farmers in all parts of the
United States to turn to alfalfa
which is considered as being the
best hay crop that can be produced,
and also considering the fact that
the dry weather during the past two
years has materially reduced the
quantity of hay in this country,
there is every reason to believe that
alfalfa will remain a paying crop
for many years to come.
AS the recommended date for
seeding alfalfa in this area is dur
ing the last two weeks in August,
it is reasonable to assume that
practically all of the acreage for
this year has been seeded, and in
the event we should be favored with
suitable weather conditions for its
growth before winter arrives it is
expected that next spring will find
Kent county with several hundred
additional acres of this legume
ready to be cut for feed or sold as
cash crop. An effort has been made
by the county agent in cooperation
with the local seed dealers to en-
the farmers to use the Kan
sas-Nebraska or northwestern
grown seed, as demonstrations and
field observations in the past have
shown this strain of alfalfa to be
the best adapted to this section.
