HURRYINC HOME

The early darkness of the autumn
months increases automobile acci-
dents. 1t may not do SO very much
in country districts, but even there
uncertain lights create perils. But
in locations in and around cities of
some size, the motorists hurrying to
get home do hazardous things. In
congested districts near the larger
cities, conditions become extremely
bad.
The increased peril is partly due
to imperfect light, and the danger
that people walking along the edge
of the roadway will not be seen. But
the spirit of nervous hurry on the
part of the driver, is the main
source of danger. He is more OF
less weary after his days work, anG
his power of attention is below nor.
NAL. He. is hungry and anxious to
get home.
So if he is of the more excitable
type of motorists, he steps on the
gas, and trusts to everyone to get
out of his way. He assumes they
can see his bright headlights an6
will take care of themselves. Il
they don't he reasons it is theil
fault. Light reflections are confus-
ing, and he gets so many of them
that he often fails to see some car
that threatens to run into him.
People must do a good deal o.
driving after dark, but the poo
light is no excuse for an accident

IT'S A DELAWARE FAMILY
RECORD
And Only In The Grange Would
Such An Instance BE Possible

The grange furnishes numberless
instances of whole families belong
ing to the organization and in this
respect continually establishes rec
ords impossible for any other AM
erican group to approximate. One
such case, quite unusual, has come
to light in Delaware, where Golden
Sheaf certificates were recently pre-
sented by the National Grange -
making so years o of continuous
grange membership and activity-to
three members of one family, two
brothers and one sister. Their men,
bership goes back to 1874, so that
they are not only fully entitled to
their so year honor certificates but
have eight years to spare!
The occasion of this presentation
was made a significant one, with
grange representatives from all
parts of the Diamond State. 1t is
further to be noted that the presen-
tation was made by the Master of
the Delaware State Grange, who is
a former Governor of the State.

THE WAR AGAINST HUNGER

Will our folks do their share to
relieve distress for the coming WIN
ter? The call is presented, for the
National Association of Community
Chests has set out to organize the
movement in every community. The
heads of the nation and of the relief
movement ask the people to respond.
They responded with a cheer in
1918 when asked to support our
army. The army of fighters against
want and misery is equally glorious,
equally necessary for the safety of
the nation. Shall we not give them
equally loyal support? Can slack
ers be tolerated?
While the state and nation must
stand back of distressed communi-
ties, so far as possible people should
take care of suffering in their own
neighborhoods. If they do so, they
ar less likely to waste relief funds
by giving to unworthy claimants for
relief, of whom there are plenty.
We now face the task of carrying
our people through the dead of Win
ter, with all the terror of hunger and
cold. 1t must be done. People who
can will have to give large amounts.
Those who have regular work can
give something. The need is urgent,
for with 100000 out of work. the
greater part of them must have help. !

HEAYY BUURDEN FOR WINNERs

Usually after elections, the win
ners feel a bit like growing, and
gloating over the losers. 1t is no
year for that kind of thing. Per-
haps the losers are the ones to re-
ceive the congratulations, as they
are at least relieved from a terrific
burden.
The winners realize only too well
the heavy load of anguish and tears
which the American people have
laid upon them. No one should take
up such a responsibility in any
mood of fiippancy or selfishness. If
he does, he is not fitted to carry it.
1t is a time for solemn thought by
everyone to whom our people have
committed such a trust, for earnest
resolve to give the best service of
which one is capable, for setting
aside all selfish and personal con-
Those who take that attitude will
find the people of all parties giving
them cordial support, while those
who can not rise to that point of
view need not expect to hold office
very long.

STOCK MARKET SCENES

Scenes in the stock market during
recent months have been very diff.
ferent from the turbulent times wit
messed during 1929 At that earlier
date the crowds of eager spectators
were besieging brokers' offices in
their haste to get rich. Orders tc
buy came flowing in from every city
If there had been more orders to sell
in that high stepping time, the thing
would have kept nearer a fair bal
ance.
Years ago spectators were large
ly made up of certain type of bust
ness people who could afford to take
a chance. But in this later boom
the craze seized all elements. Wage
earners and manual workers of all
kinds were infected. Women specu-
lated by the millions. People seem
ed to feel that even if almost every
one went into buying stocks, they
could all make money at it.
We have seen many very quiet
days, in'the stock market during the
past year, when the market barely
seemed to move. This is not relished
by the professional speculative ele-
ment. But it is a healthy sign. A
lot of folks who have burned theiI
fingers, are dreading the fire. They
have concluded that they would bet
ter spend less time predicting the
future of stocks, which is as impos-
sible as forecasting the winds OF
heaven, and. more time attending to
their own occupations.
The stock markets will never be
since they perform useful
services. They furnish a center
where people who wish to sell some
thing can get fair bid for it.
But people should have learned by
this time how difficult it is to make
money on such deals. Somehow the
insiders seem to get the cream OF
The profits. If you hear that GER
tain company is doing fine and its |
stock is likely to rise, the canoes are
hat the people with superior infor-
nation have already pushed it up as |
high as it should go, or higher, and |
f you buy you are left holding the
Jag.

WAGES ON THE FARM
STEADILY FALLING

The Department of Agriculture is
authority for the statement that hir-
ed help on the farm is now receiving
lower wages than at any other time
since 1902. During the past month,
wage rates per day without board
averaged from 60 cents in South
Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi to
$3.50 in Massachusetts. The average
for the country as a whole was $1.19

FOR ARMISTTCE DAY, 1889

How swiftly the years have pass.
ed, and how differently the world
looks, since Armistice day, 1918! All
but the younker folks can recall how
the bells rang out on that marvel
lous day, and how the nation took
on new hope, how neighbor greeted
neighbOr with cheer. It seemed
as if the nation were at the very
threshold of some tremendous era
of achievement.
The experience of that war gave
our people new sense of power.
The way they put over those liberty
loan and war work drives was a
revelation of what could be done.
When they raised 10 times as much
money by popular subscription as
could have been thought possible,
people felt they could do anything.
They were confident that once the
war was over, influences had been
formed that would make the country
political and industrial paradise.
Then came a moral slump follow
ing all that war effort. The old
evils seemed worse than ever, and
few people had energy to fight
against them. An inordinate passion
for money making produced a spec
ulative craze that led to financial
disaster. Just now our people are
picking up the pieces, gradually re-
gaining consciousness, and asking
what next?
And yet let us remember this.
The same force that enabled our sol
diers to astonish the world, that
raised billions of money, and organ
lied every village, is still in exist
ence, and it needs similar. organiza-
lion, inspiration, and cooperation.
The bitternesses of politics destroy
his cooperation. With the election
over, let us forget the
harsh things that have been said,
md see if we can not work harmon
ously with former opponents. Let
is make concessions as we did in
var time, anything to get all ele-
nents together, and make joint as
ault on the forces of decay. Up

THE OLDEST VOTER

The oldest voter in any town or
precinct is entitled to honors at
election day, and he gets them. Most
any community has such a veteran,
who turns up as regular as a clock,
with a record for having voted at
every election for half a century.
We need more like him. Usually
he has firm convictions, and has
voted for the Unterrified Democracy
OF the Grand Old Party with un-
wavering regularity.
Political faith means something
to such a one. He is not blown off
his firm position by the last windy
orator who comes along.

OPERATION OF
POOL BY FOX

WASHINGTON, June 18. U.H -
The operations of pool in Fox
amusement stocks which brought
a half million dollar profit in less
than two months were described
today before the senate banking
and currency committee.
The committee had expected to
hear the testimony of William Fox,
pioneer motion picture producer,
but for the third consecutive day
he was excused because of illness.
The witness was Bradford Ellis
worth of Hartford, Conn.,, who
testified he was associated with
Fox in a small" pool which op-
Grated from August 81 to October
7, 1928. Ellsworth said the profits
were $433 1903.
Another pool which included Fox,
John j. Raskob, Walter P. Chrys-
Ter and Nicholas F. Brady was short
366,310 shares of Fox theatre stock
on January II, 1923, according to
Ellsworth's testimony. The witness
denied this was an Objectionable

done to depress the market"

Liberty Party To
Appear On Ballot

SACRAMENTO, June 18. U.P)-
California today has brand new

in 20 years.
The Liberty party was qualified
officially with the secretary of state

titions bearing 1858 signatures.
The party, according to the pc
tions, will favor public ownership

no taxes, roads without bond issues
and similar tenets. The new party
also promises that its candidate for
President, W. N. Harvey of Arkan-
saS, will work for s25, 900 instead of
