Back To The Farm

so many people out of employment
and many are begging in the streets
of the cities for bread, for themsel-
YES and families. Thousands oi
Young ladies and men who spent
their early days on the farm. They
were lured away from the old home
steads by the big wages being paid
by the textile mills at Marcus Hook
and other cities. These wages nave
continued for years, and those re-
ceiving them thought they would
last forever. They spent lavishly.
Automobiles of the finest kind got a
good share of their wages and elo-
thes of the finest texture were abun-
dant for all-the thought of procur-
ing a home perhaps never entered
their minds, if it did, it was put on
until some future time. Only few
saved any money, and spending
went on-eat, drink and be merry
was the cry, and thus they contin-
ued to spend until they were
brought face to face with the de-
preston now existing and many OF
them with not a dollar to help keep
the wolf from the door, and in con-
sequence many of those who receiv-
ed the highest wages are now walk
ing the streets begging for some
thing to eat. 1t is a sad state OF al
fairs when free born American citi-
zens have to implOre help from
those more fortunate. The people
must not suffer for food, but it VIII
tax the organized charitable socie-
ties to meet the demand that will be
made upon them for food, fuel and
raiment if the coming winter should
be a severe one; the suffering
among the poor will be great. Those
men who had farm training in their
younger days will know at once the
possibilities in farming. There is a
large amount of hard work required
to succeed, and as to making any
money one need not expect it at the
price that farm produce is selling at
today, but any. man who has any
vim in him can make living on the
farm, which is much better than
walking the streets seeking employ
ment and perhaps begging for food.
A man who possesses a few acres
of land, home, horse, COW, hogs
and sheep and a flock of chickens Is
in a position to be Independent OF
any charitable society and If he will
work as he should he will be able to
contribute dollar or two to help
those who today are without food or
raiment. Back to the farm-the wri-
ter doesn't think he is advising any
wrong when he says back to the !
farm to all those who are willing to |
work. Plenty of vacant farms IN
Delaware. They await the coming OF
those who are seeking employment.
Political
Both the Democratic and Republi-
can parties seem to be in quiesi- /
ent mood. Both seem to be laying |
back on their oars, waiting for
something to take place. Prominent
Democrats don't seem at the pres
ent time to be anxious to gather in
any of the plums and are loath to
cast their hats into the ring.
Republicans are in about the same
boat. OF course. I. Dolphus Short
has his hat in the ring and will
strive for the nomination for Cover
nor, but if Governor Buck will ac-
cept the nomination, then the fur
will fly, and perhaps Mr.. Short will
find himself the underneath man as
heretofore.
AS we write (Tuesday) the Re
publican Convention is in session at
Chicago. President Hoover has the
delegates and will receive the nom
ination. The platform will be COM
posed of many innovations. What
they will do with the wet and dry
question remains to be seen. Per-
haps we can give a more compre-
hensive view of the situation next
week.

Glendale Fire Company
By selling tags to those who are
in sympathy with the work which
they are doing and giving away tags
the homes where displayed
are protected by the company, the
ire laddies are up to date in every
respect. They are now better equip
ped than ever to fight fires. Their
.wo trucks are kept in fine condi-
ion at all times and ready to pull
1ut at a moments notice. The fire
nen Of Ellendale need encourage
nent from all sources, for they are
worthy. When they call upon you
or a donation don't turn them down
or you don't know how soon you
will need their services. Help the
Joys.
