HOOVER.LAVAL MEETING

Disappointment is expressed be-
cause President Hoover and Premier
Laval of France did not succeed in
reconciling all different points of
view in their recent meeting. But
national disagreements originating
from vastly different circumstances,
dangers, and experiences, are not
going to be ironed out in any five
days conference.
Some kind of action should flow
from this meeting to promote finan-
cial stability, and calm the exagger-
ated fears of people in both these
countries. When two great govern
ments act together, they can accom-
plish more than one can.
Exchange of opposing views tends
to reconcile conflicting opinions, it
makes people more conciliatory, and
they learn that there is some basis
for opposite points of view. The
French should have learned some
things they needed to know by this
contact with American opinion.
Americans should have discovered
some things of which they were pre-
viously ignorant

Milford, Friday, November 6, 1881
NOVEMBER II, 1918

On Armistice Day memory runs
back 13 years, and dwells upon buoy
ant and hopeful scenes. In their
transports of joy at the end of the
war, the American people had un-
limited hope for the future.
They have since found out that
the same old faults and foibles that
had weakened human nature before
the war, were still in existence. Some
of them seem magnified. The splen-
did spirit of self sacrifice that ami
mated the nation during those dis
tressing 19 months, looked as if it
would be a permanent thing, and as
if it would lift the nation to a per-
manently higher level.
That hope was not realized. AS
soon as the war was over, in mood
of reaction and dislike for self sacri-
flee, people proceeded to grab for
money more ardently than ever be-
fore, to spend as they never spent be-
fore for pleasure, and to engage in
the most hazardous gambling specu-
lations. They are now paying the
price
But we can recover the joy of the
original Armistic Day, by showing
the same resolution and faith that
led to our war triumphs. We ac-
complished wonders during the war
period, because all groups united to
carry community causes through to
success. People gave until it hurt.
If only a small fraction, for in
stance, of the sums that were ad-
vanced for destroying the enemy,
shall be subscribed during the pend
ing relief drive, no worthy person
in the United States will suffer from
the hardships of the winter.
The American people have the
right to be very proud of the results
they accomplished during the war.
The military and financial power
which they demonstrated astonished
the world. But it does no good to
dwell upon the achievements of the
past, unless people are willing to
devote themselves to similar achieve
ment in the future. That is the task
to which we should set ourselves
here in Delaware and everywhere
else.

ENGLAND vETOEs SPENDING

Opinions will differ in this coun-
try about the sensational victory of
the conservative elements in the
English elections. But evidently the
English people felt, when they dealt
the Larbor party such a smashing
blow, that that party had spent
money too freely. 1t had run the
country deep into debt, and its ex-
travagant expenditures for doles for
the unemployed had encouraged
idleness and pauperism.
The world is learning that govern
ment has cost too much, and that
people must do their utmost to help
themselves before they turn to the
for aid. This election
does not mena, however, that the
evils of unemployment can be neg
lected, and ways must be found to
promote regularity of work.

A FOOTBALL TRAGEDY

The football season is a colorful
picture of athletic force and skill,
hero worship, gay throngs of spec
tatOrs. There one sees youth and
beauty at the height of their power.
But through this bright and stimu-
lating scene, there sometimes stalks
the grim angel OF death, and claims
some young hero for its own. So it
was at that fine game at the Yale
howl, when Cadet Richard Brinsley
Sheridan of the West Point team and
of Augusta, Georgia, was fatally
hurt, and died two days later from
broken neck.
The ability to play on a great in
stitution's first football team indi-
Gates marked promise for the fu-
ture. 1t shows the possession of
rugged physical strength and mark
ed mental alertness. Such young
man should have a career ahead of
him. When tragedy overtakes such
a one, the whole community loses an
asset of value.
Many parents in Delaware are anx-
iOus about the hazards their boys
are supposed to encounter in this
somewhat rough game. But such Oc-
currences are quite rare. A few
boys are killed in this sport each
year. But many more lose their
lives because of automobile acci-
dents.
Many more die prematurely be-
cause they had no good physical de-
velopment, which might have been
improved if they had gone in for
some such athletic sport. There
seems no possible way by which a
boy can escape all risks. It is risky
business living anyway.
In contrast with the few football
players who are hurt, there are tens
of thousands who are benefited by
the game. They come through it
strong and rugged, with conscious
ness of power. They have made val
liable friends. Also many of them
have been diverted by this engross-
ing interest from undesirable actions
and associations. Bu the manage
ments of football should consent to
any changes in rules that can lessen
perils.

"HOMEYo TOWNS

1t is frequently said of towns, that
they are Honey" sort of places.
How do they convey that idea?
In most of those places there is
nothing elaborate and elegant about
them. There are not many fine
mansions, not many richly orna-
mented business and public build
ings. But there are many modest
homes which show care and affec-
ton. There are few squalid neigh
borohoods, few where rubbish heaps,
rickety fences, old back yard struc-
lures, and unpainted buildings are
tolerated. The place shows that
people take pride in their homes,
and are ashamed to let them look
seedy.

FIXING UP THE OLD HOME

ExPresident Coolidge has been
making very thorough repairs to his
old farm home up among the green
hills of his beloved Plymouth in Ver-
mont. The neighbors think this
means that he will spend more time
there. This does not look much as
if he was hoping to take lease of
Uncle Sans White House at any
near or distant date.
The heart turns to the old home
as the years go on. Putting these
old dwellings in good shape means
much to the rural neighborhoods
where they are located. 1t encour-
ages the country people to have faith
in the future of rural America.

HARVESTING DAHLIAS
EXPLAINED BY EXPERT
BY A. G. Mclean
New Jersey Agricultural Extension
Service.

BY A. G. Mclean
New Jersey Agricultural Extension
Service.
1t will soon be time to harvest
dahlias. Many amateurs have had
trouble in keeping the better varie-
ties, especially those that do not
have strong, plump roots, over win
ter.
The right way to harvest dahlias
is to cut the top Off close to the
ground directly after the first frost.
The bulb should be left for a few
days to ripen in the soil After the
ripening process lift the bulb from
the ground by loOsening the soil
around and under the clump with
spading fork. BY doing this care
fully it will be possible to avoid
breaking many of the roots and i'll
iuring the base of the stem.
After exposure for at least one day
to the sun the clump is fairly dry
and may be packed away in dry peat
moss. If the clump is not dry
enough when it is put in the peat
moss, it may start growth.
