The Navy League executive COM
mittee by a vote OF 7 to l today

brought against President Hoover

Howard Gardiner.
The league issued a statement Of
its action. 1t was signed by all
members of the executive commit

New York, who previously had
"disassociated' himself from Gar
diners charge that Mr.. Hoover was
"abysmally ignorant" of naval af-
fairs.
Gardiner issued an independent
statement in which he made no
mention of the apology demanded
by President Hoover.
Il wrote the pamphlet published
by the Navy League on October %
in the best of good faith" Gardi-
ner said
Il wrote it in the hope that 1t
would bring home to my fellow
countrymen and to our selected rep
resentatives in the executive and
legislative branches of our govern
ment, what 1 sincerely believe to
be the very serious condition that
confronts our country"
The Navy League statement
signed by the seven members of the
executive committee, affirmed the
committees faith in the state

The statement added that the
Navy league would welcome ANY

his place on. the Squentna River, where he and his family are fish ing for winter dog feed.
 MT. Terhune, who presided at the meeting, called on MT. Shel- lenbarger to tell his mind on the subject of trapping, which he did in a clear and comprehensive way. He said the trapping season is far too short and should be extended, that there is no danger of the fur bearing animals being extermi- mated, that food for them is short. there not being any rabbits in the country at present as in past years. If 50 of these little ami mals could be planted in the open, there would be, in two years, plenty of food for fur bearers. When these are missing the ptarmigan are also gone. He stated the past two years had been lean for the trappers, as their catches were light, but the game is not trapped out-the season is too short-and this work is no detriment to the country. Many trappers are in the Interior at their trap lines to remain, and have their families with them, have radios, gardens, etc. One man stated that in his opinion the trappers should be given the land by the government when they had lived on it for sev- eral years, built cabins on their trap lines, as we'll as other neces- sary buildings, cleared land and made gardens, etc.
 The visiting gentlemen asked numbers of questions; the aver ages of different years on various furs; which lines they specialized in; about the trapping in breed- ing season, and about things. MT. Shelenbarger said it was his choice to class mink first and muskrats second
 Robert Bragaw, as president of the Alaska Guides, Inc, said he saw 27 moose and 25 calves on the Kenai Peninsula last winter and he thinks these are increasing as well as the beaver.
 A reresentative of the American Legion spoke to emphasize what others had said, and he pleaded for extension of the trapping sea- son, as did also a spokesman for the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
 The visitors seemed much inter ested in matters presented and it is devoutly to be hoped that last ing good will come of this meeting

GERMANY'S CRISIS

1t has often been said that the
Germans were bluffing, trying to
get out of their just debts, when
they have over and over again
claimed that they were not able to
make the payments which the allied
powers required from them. But the
speed with which people have been
taking money out of Germany, the
runs on their banks, the alarm felt
by the financiers of the world, have
been proof that the trouble is real.
The nations are so intimately tied
together, that what hurts business
in one country hurts all countries.
If Germany has a financial collapse,
it will mean more delay in indus
trial recovery in the United States.
The worlds practical business men
will get together, and make what
ever adjustments are necessary. 1t
would be worth making some sacri-
fees to save Germany from either a
bolshevist government, or from a
return of the monarchy. Either one
of these results would be costly to
the United States.

RISING ABOVE THE MASS

An educator was once asked
whether a boy would better go to a
large school of small one. "If he
can rise above the mass, said the
professor, "let him go to the big
one. Otherwise send him to a small
one where he won't have much COM
petition.
The business concern can well ask
itself whether it has the qualities
that enable it to rise above the mass
in its trade. If it is just average
and ordinary, its results will be ex-
tremely ordinary, and perhaps less
satisfactory than that One essen
tial in rising above the mass, is ad-
vertising by which the attention and
interest of the masses of the people
are gained.

RECALLING BUFFALO BILL

Relatives of Col. William F. Cody
known the world over as Buffalo
Bill, recently met at Buffalo for
their annual reunion. They can well
do honor to the man who was
known as the last of the frontier
scouts. He represented an age of
fearless heroism, when daring men
and women gave up comfortable
homes in the east, and pushed the
domain of civilization over the great
western plains, suffering untold
hardships and confronting danger
on every hand.
We live today in an age of fear,
when we tremble at all kinds of
real and fancied perils. We need
more of the iron nerve of those old
frontiersmen, who feared nothing,
and faced death and hardship daily.

THE ANCIENTtCAR

Many people are continuing to
use old and badly worn automo-
biles, and are delaying to replace
them until business turns better, or
they get more pay.
How long does it pay 4di use a
largely outworn automobiIe8a Men
of a certain type run them Success
fully for very long period. If they
are mechanically ingenious, they get
a certain pleasure out of tinkering
them, and taking the wabbles and
frictiOns out tof their rusty joints.
Some astonishing tales are told of
the mileage which men of that type
have been able to obtain out of cars
which were sold for only a few dol
lars and seemingly were ready for
the junk heap.
The more some people attempt to
tinker their own cars, the worse
they run. They take them to some
garage and pay an expensive repair
bill, and for little time they run
quite well. Then some new portion
of their decrepit anatomy gives way,
and again the owner is asked to put
up heavy repair cost. These
charges may figure up as much as
the depreciation on shiny new car
would amount to.
There comes a time when an an
cient car becomes dangerous, for the
ordinary person anyway. It fails to
respond in emergency situations,
and can not pull itself out of trouble.
There is no economy in operating a
car whose loose joints are headed
for an accident.
Some happy-g -go-lucky people nev-
er fear the future, and they order a
new car when they get tired of their
old one, regardless of their finan-
cial outlook. Other over cautious
folks nurse the old rattle-trap along,
even if their means are ample for
a new one. 1t would certainly help
business along a bit at the present
time, if some of these excessively
prudent folks would forget their
fears for a bit, and turn the old bus
over to the junk man, or to someone
who can keep it running himself.
Like the ancient horse turned out !
to pasture in his last days, it has
earned its rest.

UNWORTHY APPEALS

AS city and town officials review
their expenditures during the past
year for relief of poverty and unem-
plOyment, it is found in many COM
munities that appeals for help have
come in from many people who
should not receive such aid. A time
when so much sympathy has been
felt for the unemployed, has been a
heyday for ne'er-do-wells. They
have found many hands of help ex-
tended to them, and have greedily
accepted relief without effort to
take care of themselves.
Then at the other extreme are
worthy but excessively proud peo-
pie, who would rather go hungry
and ragged than ask for public or
private help. 1t is pitiful that so
many of these people have escaped
notice, and have suffered severe
want after doing their best for self
support.
In some communities unworthy
people do not often get much help,
save in some cases where political
pull exists. Butt in larger places,
it may take too much time to inves-
tigate every ease, and probably a
good deal of relief money goes to
unworthy hands.
There are border line cases, peo-
pie who are having a hard time, yet
who have a small amount of prop
erty. 1t is a question whether they
should be asked to. use up every
dollar of their own money before re-
ceiVing aid. The case of a person
who owns a small home, ON which
there is a fairly good mortgage, is
an illustration. 1t may be said that
such a person could borrow still
more money ON the home, and that
the community should not be asked
to help people until they are actual
ly penniless.
Industrious folks who have al
ways done their best should be
treated generously. They will re- |
spond to such friendly assistance.
But the more some folks are helped,
the more they will lie down and de-
pend upon charity. It is no kind
ness to aid such ones here in Mil
ford or elsewhere. q

LOVE FOR HOME COMMUNITY

A friend remarks that while visit
ing in a summer resort, he asked a
young man in a garage what he did
when winter came, and the summer
visitors were all gone. 81 just stay
on here. 1 love my own state 1
have never been outside its boun-
daries. 1t is good enough for me"
was the reply.
Some people may think that is a
narrow spirit. And yet that young
man can read all about every state
and country in the world, and thus
mako himself intelligent. His af-
fectiOn for his home locality is some
thing admirable, and we need more
of that sentiment in Delaware. The
people who have that feeling are not
going to waste their days and hours
in restless desire to wander, and in
futile visions about golden oppor-
tunities in distant scenes.

THE EYE OF THE PRESS

Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh may have
thought, when they undertook their
very remarkable fight across the
wild spaces of upper Canada and
the Pacific ocean, that they were
going to avoid the publicity that
pursues them everywhere. But
awaiting their first landing in ia
pan, there were SO reporters and "a
camera men assembled. Which is a
suggestion of the Omniscient eye of
the modern press, and the marvel
lous network of newsgetting with
which it covers the world.
Our two favorite fliers will have
to penetrate much farther into the
earth's most secluded and obscure
corners, before they escape the
worlds watching eye, which is fas-
cinated by their every movement.

UNEASY CUBA

One of the worlds trouble spots
for some months has been the is
land of Cuba, whose fortunes are
closely related to the United States
and the American people. Unrest
has been growing in that island,
owing to bad economic conditions,
and a short time ago it seemed as
if there might be bloody revolu-
tioh against the existing govern
meht.
Such a revolution would be men
acing to the interests of our peo-
pie, since large amounts of Ameri-
can capital are invested in that is
land. Fortunately at this writing,
it looks as if this revolutionary
movement had pretty well broken
down. But the island is in such
an unsettled state, that the spirit
of revolt might break loose almost
any day.
A good many of our people have
always claimed that the United
States should intervene in that
country whenever disturbances oc-
cur, and maintain order and pro-
tect property rights. Our country
has a special relation to Cuba, and
under the agreements reached with
the government of that country, it
has the legal right to intervene and
establish a stable government
whenever the same does not exist.
Unless conditions down there
reach such a state of anarchy and
chaos as to be simply intolerable
and very damaging to the interests
of this country, there will be no
general support for the idea of in
tervening in their affairs. Our peo-
pie are thoroughly tired of mixing
in the affairs of other nations. They
are willing to cooperate with other
countries to promote universal well
fare. But when it comes to sending
military forces to put down fighting
elements, they have had much more
than they want of that kind of
thing. There will be a strong feel
ing that if the people of Cuba de-
sire to fight each other, they should
be given much leeway in doing so
until they get sick and, tired of it.
OF course our government will do
it's best to persuade these quarrel
some factions that it is very poor
judgment for them to tear up their
country with civil war.

LARGE CROPS

Conditions in agriculture are new
er either wholly good or wholly bad
There are always sore spots some
where, too much rain in some Sec
tions, too little elsewhere. Last
year came nearer being one Of dis
aster than any recent one, with the
terrible drought affecting most of
the country. This year, in spite of
drought in some states, promises a
marked improvement, with crops
running above the average, and big
yields in wheat and corn and fruit.
The farmers prices are low, but
his costs are lower than they WERE
Many farmers must be saving a
heavy charge for hired help, and
raising their crops much more by
the labor of their own families. Any
way the new crop will bring in a
great aggregate of new wealth, and
the stimulus should be felt by busi-
ness at no distant date.

A YEARS WORK AHEAD

Many people return from vaca'
ton with the gloomy feeling that
now they have a years work ahead
of them. They have the wrong
point of view. They do not realize
that work is privilege as well as
loatihg. Anyone who has job in
which he is or should be interested
has reason for pride and satisfac-
ton. If he returns to it with dis
like, the trouble is with him rather
than with his job
Likewise students often eOntem-
plate the return to study with dis
tate, and mourn as they think of
nine or ten months of study ahead
of them. They also forget that
American opportunities for educa-
ton represent the greatest gift that
civilization ever conferred on the
human race. The people of former
times spent their lives longing for
the opportunities that are freely
given our young folks.
Said Longfellow: Work is my
recreation, delight like that which
bird feels in flying, or a fish in
darting through the water" If we
do not find pleasure in using our
own powers through our work, we
have somehow failed to develop
those powers. Remember that,
young folks of Milford.
