HOT BEDS FOR SWEET POTATO
PLANTS

Farmers and plant growers Of
Kent and Sussex counties are now
ready with thea hotbeds in which to
place the sweet potatoes to sprOnt
the plants with which the fields will
be set from the plants to produce the
sweet potato crop of 1882 The field
setting is about the latter part of
May or first of June. These beds are
generally placed in a sheltered place
from winds and storms, so that the
fires that head the plant beds, which
in many cases hold Il hundred or
more seed sweet potatoes, when
bedded evenly over the surface and
afterward covered about two inches
or more with rich loan for plants to
take root in as they grow. These
beds of a warm spring night, throw
out smoke from the furnaces under
each bed. AS the smoke assends
through the low chimney, the fields
on quiet nights give an appearance
that the field was burning under
ground.

M. E. CONFERENCE
AT SALISBURY Y
NEXT TUESDAY
CCcHiinued from First Page1

which will be held in Atlantic City
in May.
Each of the four districts will elect
a ministerial and lay delegate to
represent this conference and al
ready "wires are being pulled" by
both ministers and layment.
There was a time when the dis
trict superintendents were thought
to be the logical representative for
the ministers, but in recent years
this program has been changed, the
honor being divided between the su-
perintendents and other members of
the conference.
From what is being said by the
ministers here it seems sure that the
Rev. Disston w. Jacobs of the Will
mingtOn District; the Rev. l.. j.
johnson, of the MiddletOwn District;
the Rev. w. E. Habbart. of the Dow
er District, will be selected, but the
Salisbury District seems to be split
on this election. Many favor the
Rev. Leonard White, superintendent
of the district, while a number are
said to be openly working for the
election of the Rev. J. J. Bunting,
pastor of Emanuel Church, Crisfield,
Md, and also conference treasurer.
Another pastor whose name is being
mentioned in this connection is the
Rev. e. II. Hallman, now at Denton,
Md, former pastor of the Brandy
wine Church, Wilmington.
While the ministers are showing
some interest in the election, the
laymen are showing much more. |
Many have been trying to get ad- |
vance lists from the district superin- |
tendents of the lay electoral dele |
gates, so that they may be able to |
do a little work prior to the meeting |
on April and ,, in Salisbury.
On the Wilmington District l. FL |
mer Perry is being talked of as a |
delegate. He was elected in 1924 |
but was unable to attend, and while |
making no active canvas for the |
honor is said to be willing that his
friends use his name if they feel that
he is entitled to it.
j. Everett Walls, of MiddletOwn,
and Harry Nuttle, of Concord, Nd,
are being mentioned for the Middle
town District. Laymen say that Mr..
Nuttle can have it if he announces
as a candidate.
Edward J. Wjnder, of SeafOrd, who
was elected as a delegate in 1916,
is being mentioned as candidate
for the Dover District.
On the Salisbury district it is re-
ported that Prof Humphreys, of
Snow Hill, Md, will be elected rs
delegate, and that a Mr.. Moars, of
Chincoteague Island, Va. will be
named as reserve delegate.

On still, cold nights when the air

may vary by as much as 10' within
short distances. In extreme cases
the distance may be as little as 30G

or more. A killing frost may damage
vegetation on the ground or on low
land when a thermometer stationed
high above it shows a temperature

HUSTLE NO VIRTUE
IN CHINESE EYES

If ! were to try to sum up in n
phrase the main difference between
the Chinese and ourselves, | should
say that they, in the main, aim at en-
Joyment, while we, in the main, aim
at power We like power over our
fellowmen, and we like power over
nature. For the sake of the. former
we have built up strong states, and
for the sake of the latter we have
built up science.
The Chinese are too lazy and too
good-natured for such pursuits. To
say that they are lazy is, however,
only true in certain sense They
are not lazy in the way of tropical
peoples; that is to say, the Chinese
will work hard for their living. EN-
ployers of labor find them eXtraordi-
narily industrious. But they will not
work. as Americans and western Eu-
ropeans do, simply because they
would be bored if they did not con-
tinue doing their daily work.
Nor do they love hustle for its own
sake. When they have enough to live
on, they live on it, instead of trying
to augment it by hard work They
have an infinite capacity for leisurely
amusement-gOing to the theater,
talking while they drink tea. admir-
ing the Chinese art of earlier times,
walging in beautiful scenery. or
playing games.
Living in the East has, perhaps, a
corrupting influence upon a white
man. but | must confess, that, since
| was in China, have regarded lazi-
ness as one of the best qualities of
which men in the mass are capable.

Thinker.

Criticism of Chicago
Police Put MusicaIly

The Princess M'dvani, better known
as Mary McCormic, the grand opera
singer, has decided that America does
not live up to its reputation for
speed. The other day she was dash
ing through the Chicago loop in her
high-powered foreign car when a
traffic officer ordered the machine to
the curb and began to make out a
ticket.
"But l am in a great hurry" pro-
tested the diva. Il have matinee
and already / am late"
But the officer continued writing,
taking the usual half hour to write
the words necessary on the ticket. A
taxi came along and the singer
grabbed it, leaving her chauffeur to
settle with the policeman. AS she
slammed the taxi door, the singer
said sarcastically:
"You police look so fortissimo, but
you are painfully andante."

FOR BLANKETS AND
QUILTS

TIE up-to-date city apartment
l. and suburban cottage has a spe-
cial place provided for almost every
thing. There are closets for brooms
and dust mops, ironing boards that
can be turned up into the wall, built
in book shelves and even special
closets lined with cedar in which
to keep heavy clothes during the
warm months. To the woman who
realizes that in order to keep every
thing in place there must be a spe-
cially assigned place for everything,
it is often a problem to find con-
venient place for extra blankets and
quilts.
Often a good sized closet with
shelves located in the hall near the
bedrooms is the answer TO the ques-
ton. This, of course, necessitates
having a general place Of supply for
all the rooms.
Recently in refurnishing an
old house a resOurceful housewife
planned TO have a window box in
each bedroom, TO be used as a box
for extra bedding. They were there
fore fairly wide and long with
hinges so that they might be opened
up quite easily. Chintz-Lpholslered
pads on top made them useful as
extra seats in each room. In these

CHANGE
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

before we know the spring is
~ here
We find the summer all about,
And then the first faint frosts ap-
pear
And summers skies are blotted
out
Before we note the falling leaves
The leaves are covered by thesnow.
Yes, all the things the earth re-
ceives
Z AS swiftly come, as swiftly go.
So suddenly the seasons pass
Not even winter fingers long;
The hills again are green with
grass,
The skies again are filed with song.
And so it is with Joy and grief,
For grief and JOY are always
strange;
The bursting bud, the falling leaf.
So quickly do the seasons change
We find some comfort even in this.
We know how fragile Joy can be /;
And. wise with sorrow. when we
kiss
Perhaps we kiss more tenderly,
Love better and live better. too.
And grieve. perhaps. with greater
hope
From having seen the gray grow
blue,
The grass return to the slope.
