BY the Associated Press.
W. A. Moody, president of the st.
Louis Live Stock Exchange, told the
House Agriculture Committee today the
Farm Board in 1929 refused drought
aid to dairymen not members Of their
co-operatives.
He testified that c. B. Denman, Live
Stock Board -tember, said in q st.
Louis speech that daIrymen should
apply to the harm Board for assistance
during the thought and then stated no
man could borrow "ofie cent" unless he
belonged to Farm Board organization.
Coercion Is Charged.
"If that is not coercion and attempt
ed bribery I don't know what it is"
Moody said. II was SO mad I wired
President Hoover asking If Denman was
right, and Hoover replied he had the
right to make such statements"
He then wrote Alexander Legg, as
chairman of the board, asking for a
loan and received the reply: Join the

A. H. Baker, commission merchant of

FIGHTING THE GANGSTERs

The Lindbergh tragedy has shaken
the nation. Preachers, editors
teachers, call on us all to accept this
as the underworld's defiant chal-
lenge. We are told to go in and clean
out the despicable characters that
prey on innocent and worthy people.
The land has resounded with cries of
anger, and calls for righteous retri-
button.
Very fine and all right. But how
far will our emotional and volatile
people go? If the Lindbergh kid
napers were suddenly apprehended,
it of course might go hard to save
them from lynching. But how far
will our people go, to remove the
conditions out of which such beasts
develop!
The criminal class is encouraged
and stimulated by many defects in
legal procedure, by political infiu-
ences which cripple police work and
the administration of justice And
many adventurous boys could be
headed away from the fatal path of
crime, by more generous provision
of clubs and play grounds. Will our
people go the limit along these less
spectacular but more effective lines?
- The next time some back slapping
and windy politician asks their bal
lots, some. fellow who would dodge
a vote ON suppressing the gangs,
will the people support him, in pref
e.ence to some resolute person who
has no gift for baby kissing and pa
laver, but who would act to put
down crime if it cost every vote in
his district? .'.
The next time SOMEONE rings the
doorbell with a subscription paper,
for playground work for the home
town, something that would keep
active boys out of mischief, will peo-
pie hum and haw and say "let George
do it?"r a- '.e ."s.s .t.
The way the people of Delaware
act on such questions will count
more than the explosions of fiery
now manifest against the
vile reptiles who stole and killed
poor little Lindy.

.ITNE DAYS

To the radiant mind of the poet, il
there are ever perfect days, they
come in rosy June. The earth is
turned into a fairyland, a paradise
of vernal foliage. Fields are carpet
ed with flowers loVelier than any
tapestries the travellers see in the
grand museums of Europe. The
earth overfiows with hope and prom
Use, it whispers of fruits and sweets
to come, and the heats of midsummer
are not yet here to scorch us with
their cynical destruction.
OF all that ecstasy, the farmer
tOiling in his field, the gardener
STOPPING over his fledgeling plants,
has time to see little. For him June
is a month of anxious toll, with the
young crops just setting out on the
march to harvest, while he begins his
battle with pest and weed foes.
Nature pervades that toll with the
most stimulating weather our elm
ate produces. Man is thus nerVed on
to his best work, yet not stifled un-
der the suffocating air of less tender
months. If we can't work in June,
when can We?

THE DREAMS LIED

The dreams of 1900 people in re-
gard to the Lindbergh baby, were re-
ported to the Harvard psychological
clinic, and not one of them approx
mated the circumstances of that
pathetic tragedy.
The many folks who worry be-
cause of seemingly ominous dreams
might reflect ON that fact. Some au-
thorities think dreams express peo-
pies suppressed wishes, while many
persons note that they dream about
things and people that were in their
minds during the previous evening.
The knowledge of our future cloudy
pilgrimage through this life is mer-
cifully hidden from our peering eyes.
Never worry about the fantastic
scenes of these night visions, which
tell nothing of future events.

SUGGESTED BY MEMORIAL DAY

What thoughts should come to the
American people, from the various
National Memorial Day and Con-
federate Memorial Day exercises?
None of lis should forget the inner
meaning of such occasions. 1t has
often wounded the hearts of the sur
ViVing veterans of that terrible War
Between the States, that people so
largely forget an occasion that is
holy in the eyes of the former sol
diers. While the little company of
veterans and friends gather in some
hall to recall the sacrifice and hero
ism, while they march to the ceme-
teries to perform their graceful act
of remembrance, the hurrying crowd
burning up the motor roads, largely
on the way to sporting events, has
seemed a jarring note.
Now that these occasions also
commemorate the men of all the
wars, the veterans of each of these
great struggles have the same rev.
erence for them. They are all hurt
when people are careless of the
thought the day was meant to EN-
phasiZe.
The Memorial days were appoint
ed that succeeding generations
should not forget what people did
out of patriotic feeling. They were
intended to convey the thought that
a country for which such costly
sacrifices were made, as the result
of which hearts bled, and lives were
saddened forever, must have our
best devotion.
This devotion calls for more than
loyal service in time of war Wars
are infrequent, but the battle of citi-
zenship has to be fought every day.
No slackers should be found in the
ranks. When people fail to take an
interest in their government, fed
eral, state, and national, they are not
following in the footsteps of the
Memorial Day heroes, but are lag !
giHg behind the great procession of
patriots. They should be ashamed
of failing to take their share of their /
conntry's burdens.

CAMP OTONKA

Vacation days are drawing nearer
and to those who have been at Camp
| Otonka, or whose friends have been
campers, it meansGthat the joys of a
week OF more at this beautiful spot
on the Indian River will soon be a
reality instead of a dream to many
girls. '.'
Camp Otonka, under the direction
of the District of Delaware Y. w. G.
A., opens its schedule IN. 1882 with
weekend for business girls, June
is and 10. Membership in a busi-
ness girls club is not an essential
for camp attendance. The girls ar
rive after lunch on Saturday and
stay through Sunday night supper.
For teen age girls, the camp opens
on June 25. The first period from
June rs to July 23 is for the younger
girls from II years of age including
those who enter the eighth grade in
September. The second period in
cludes those who enter the ninth
grade in September and the rest of
the high school age
There will be an adult week from
nus bob GU-Ats II arc "a
tratiOns in the hands of the camp
director by June rs.
Miss Edith Staples, of Sargent
School, who is returning this sum-
mer to be swimming counselor, is
planning many new and interesting
water sports for those who enjoy
this part of the camp program. Miss
Ann Heymer, who was handicraft
counselor at OtOnka last year, is re-
turning, with many ideas which have
not been tried before in the camp
program. Miss Madge Mccoy, a grad
uate of the National School of Ex-
preston in Philadelphia, will direct
the dramatics, stunts and dancing ac-
tiVities. The health counselor will
be Miss Verna Frendak, a graduate
of Jefferson Hospital in Philadel-
phia. Miss Ruth Buckwalter, asso-
ciate and Girl Reserve secretary of
will direct recreation and extra ac-
tivities. The ravenous appetites will
find delicious satisfaction in the pro-
visions made by Miss Mabel Como
way, the dietitian, one the camp
staff. For the second year there will
be an International Guest Counselor
at Otonka and this summer, Miss
Gladys KOh, native of Korea, who
is a student at Wesleyan COnserva-
tory in Macon, Ca, will help with
the music and acquaint the campers
with her country.
Information, folders and registra-
ton blanks for Camp OtOnka, may
be had by communication with the

WITH PICK AND DIsHPAN

A gentleman who has. held office
and business positions all his life,
in which he has manifested ability,
remarks that he is out of work, and
would be more than glad to take a
pick and shovel and go out on a
road job and dig. But" he said,
Il can't do it, and l am sorry. He
had an operation few years go, af-
ter which the doctors told him he
must not do any lifting or STOPPING:
Young men in Delaware who fail
to land any business job this sum-
mer, should consider the alacrity
with which many good men like the
above would accept a task of manual
labor if they were able to. 1t used
to be thought that if a man was seen
wearing oyeralls and working with
his hands, there was something the
matter with him. Today it would
be said merely that he was showing
resOureefulness. His willingness
and experience would be considered
an added qualification in any work
he might seek later. aa
Young women may think, if they
prepared for school teaching or cler-
ical positions, that it would be dis
creditable to take a temporary job
as a hOusekeeper or housemaid. On
the contrary, their action would be
considered most creditable by SEN
sible people. 1t would show they
could go out into the world and fight
a winning battle. ..
This country was built up by real
men and women, not by paper dolls
of society. The men dug in the dirt,
the women toiled in the kitchen.
There were no social classes. The
farmer and his helper, the wife and
the hired girl, all sat down at the
same table. The only thing that
counted was Willingness and ability
to do useful work. When that spirit
the country prospered and
went ahead every day.
We may not return precisely to
those manners, but we need to cast
aside all false notions that any work
that needs doing is in the least de-
gree discreditable.
Milford chronicle., 1932-06-03
FEEDING THE SOIL

Many farmers and gardeners are
compared to miners. The diggers
for gold, silver, copper, etc, remove
precious metals and put nothing
back, so their exhausted mines re-
main barren. The farmer or gard
ener who fails to use any or enough
fertilizing material, is like the miner
who takes something out of the soil
and puts nothing back. In time that
soil will be as unproductive as the
worked out mine. ..,
But it takes Judgment to use fer
tilizers. Lawns are seen which were
too heavily fertilized, that look as
brown as if a prolonged drought had
burned them. Or the over fertilized
grass may grow so fiercely that the
lawn needs moving twice a week,
but after that squirt has exhausted it
self, the tired roots may refuse to
send out any more greenfi and the
lawn reVerts to barrenness. .
But you can't expect any kind of
product from soil, unless you put
back as much plant food as you take
out. A garden cant grow without
food, any more than boy.
Milford chronicle., 1932-06-03
LOWER BUILDING COSTS

New York building trade unions
have agreed to accept wage reduc-
tions running from 20 to 80 per
cent Probably they are tired of
theoretically getting high pay, but
of actually getting little or nothing
to do. There is not much satisfac-
tion in $12 per day. if you don't get
any work.
1t is usually best when you want
to sell something, to name a price
that people can afford to pay. No
merchant ever made money by put
ting such high prices on his stuff,
that his goods stayed on the shelves.
And no mechanics can expect to earn
a living, by setting wages so high
that people can't afford to employ
them.
