: Washington, d. c., spent the week

time.

Of this place for many years, is

Among those who have purchased
the new Chevrolet auto in this COM
munity are VIM. T. Humble, John T.
Veasey and A. L. Belts. The automo-
bile industry is still making new
ones.
Smaller Acreage OF Tomatoes
Owing to the surplus of canned
tomatoes carried over from last sea-
sons pack farmers are reducing
their acreage to less than One-half
of previous years.
Farmers Are Planting
Factory Beans
Many of the factory bean growers
have begun to plant their first
planting. 1t is usually the custom
to make about four paintings about
week or ten days apart, to avoid a
rush at the canning houses. Mr..
VIM. D. Burton, who owns and op-
crates one of the largest farms in
this community, will plant so acres
of factory beans this season.
Interstate Dairy Council InSpectS
All Dairy Farms and Premises
The Interstate Dairy Council have
sent out inspectors in Sussex coun-
ty to visit all dairy farms that sup
ply milk to the large milk stations.
This is done several times year
without any advance notice. If the
conditions and sanitary methods are
not to their eXacting requirements,
no more milk is received from those
premises until it is made so. If the
consumer of milk that is shipped
from the modern milk cooling sta
tion knew the care in regards to
sanitation and proper cleanliness he
would know that he is getting the
purest food that scientific knowledge
can produce.
Eagle Attacks Small Child
NThe 15-months-old child of Mr..
and Mrs. Lloyd Dorman, of near this
place, while sitting on the grass in
the yard at their home one day last
week, was suddenly attacked by a
large bird which was presumed to
be an eagle. The mother heard its
screams, rushed towards it and
drove it away. The child received
some deep scratches and cuts. DR..
Joseph B. NAPLES dressed the
wounds.
Memorial Day
Memorial Day was celebrated in
this community by decorating the
graves of relatives and all who had
served in their cOuntry's cause. 1t
is one of this cOuntry's most beauti-
full customs. One day set apart for
its heroic dead. War seldom settles |
any question, it only throttles it.
If we are to believe the news dis
patches from across the sea it is not |
all love feast with European ma
tions at the Geneva Conference of |
the League of Nations. The clank- |
ing of the sword and muffied beats |
Of the drum are heard in the dis
tance Nations are still dreaming of !
wars of conquest and revenge. The
lay of the kings and emperors is fad
ing away, the last to quit his throne
and country was AlphonsO, King of
Spain, but he took time to gather up
fourteen million bucks for a rainy
lay when he left. The latest photo
graph we have seen of King Carol

government Relief For Unemployed
1t seems that the people are de-
handing more relief and help of
jome sort all the time from the state
md government, in the form of en-
lowments, appropriations and pen
ions. AS a rule when the govern
nent steps in the individual steps
,ut. There is no magic in the Fed
raj government. They have a mo-
lopoly of making the rich man give
ID a little more of his income each
ear. 1t is the desire of Congress
o please their constituents in order ;
0 retain their power. 1t is possible
hat Congress will be asked to grant
pension of some kind to all unem- d:
loyed to relieve the depression?
Iillions at present are being spent
4 irrigation and reclamation pro-
ects to make more agricultural
and. Bulletins are sent to the farm
RS how to grow bigger and better
rops. They never tell you how to
ell them.
During the early spring months
re were associated for a time with
gentleman who spends One-half of /
is time in England and has inter 1
SITS in rubber hose factory over
lere, and who had first hand infor-
lation as to the evils of the English
ole, paid to all unemployed. The
orker, out of his wages, paid cer-
Tin amount to the employer and
Dvernment the balance. Idleness
as been subsidized to such an ex-
mt that Incidence is a creed. The
DIE is like a drug, the more it is :
ken the keener becomes the appe-
te for it. The British worker has
ecOme work-shy, and avoids work
ke pest. The government is driv-
/ to desperation to find funds to a
eet the ever growing demand. To
,ntinue means disaster, to aban-
IN it would invite anarchy. If
me organizations had their way
ose conditions might be duplicated =,
ere. 1t is characteristic of the u
merican people to lock the stable
ter the horse has been stolen, but :
this case the horse is i'll the
able but the thief is just outside.
