OUR TROUBLES IN CUBA

The American people are pro-
foundly thankful that the present
outlook is that they will not be
forced to send any armed forces into
Cuba. A few weeks ago, the state of
anarchy in that turbulent isle made
Intervention by our government
more than possibility. But there
has been a change of government in
Cuba, the hotheads have Gained
down a bit, and some of the dyna-
mite in that situation has been re-
moved. Probably we shall not need
to take any hand in that dangerous
game ourselves.
The American people are sick and
tired of having to send their boys
into tropical republics to teach them
primary lessons of democratic gov
ernment. Such action may be neces-
sary in extreme cases, but it costs us
a lot of money, and creates i'll will
that does not help our business one
little bit.

THE FIRE OF ENTHUSIASM

If you find a live business that is
making money, OF a town that is
going ahead and making progress,
you can look somewhere in that con-
Germ or community for people who
have the fire of enthusiasm. They
do something more than put in their
time on their job or ON their com
munity tasks. They put some life
and pep into whatever they under
take. They are always saying in eff
feet, Come on, boys, we can do this
thing that we want done If we only
try. They energize other folks,
their confidence and faith is infec-
tious. and those concerns and towns
feel the impulse of their enthusi-
asm.
People like to buy goods Of CON
cern in which that spirit is evident,
and they like to live and do business
In town where such people are
active and influential.

aTHE IAm. YOUR HOMEn

The Baltimore city jail board re-
Gently posted a set of regulations
in each cell. They began with the
familiar quotation, BE it ever SO
humble, there's no place like home.
The rules go on to say that this cell
is the temporary home of its inmate,
and he should treat it as home and
keep it neat.
The majority of prisoners would
utter some sarcastic remarks on
reading the above. They enter Jail
with feeling of enmity to society,
which has imposed this humiliation
upon them. To them a prison cell
is a harsh measure of vengeance,
which society takes upon those whom
it does not like.
Not all prisoners have that point
of view. There was John Bunyan,
for instance, the famous author of
that great classic, Pilgrims Prog
ress," by which we were all thrilled
in childhood's happy days. He spent
some IL years in Bedford Jail in
England, and during that time he
wrote a good part of the marvellous
book above named.
AS this superb work of imagina-
ton was largely hopeful in tone,
Bunyan did not probably find his
stay in jail so very depressing. If
the harsh laws of those times had
never jailed him for an inadequate
cause, he might never have written
that great book. Perhaps the world
would never have heard of him, and
you would ask in vain at the public
libraries for that masterpiece.
The ordinary Jail prisoner can
not of course make such use of his
Jail home. But if he had true
philosophy about it, he would see
that even that Jail cell could be
made the beginning of a new life.
Many prisoners in Delaware have
done precisely that thing. That con-
fined home became place of repent
ance, where they resolved to live a
new life, and their days of happi-
ness dated from that sad experience.

THE HOME TOWN NEWSPAPER

In no country in the world has
newspaper development reached any
such stage as it has in this country.
People are hardly equipped to live
in a modern community until they
read thoroughly every issue of a
good local newspaper. In that way
they conserve their incomes, by
learning of good opportunities to
buy merchandise.
They become familiar with public
movements and entertainments, and
are able to enjoy many things that
they would not hear about until they
had happened, if they were not in
formed by the newspapers. They
are thereby able to partake to the
full of their home town life, where
without such a newspaper thorough
ly covering their field, they are on
one side the current of its life.

DISSIPATION OF PROPERTY

The majority of people, when they
inherit property, are said to spend
most or all that wealth within few
years. Those who inherit large
wealth may usually have been taught
some principles of business, so that
they place their bequests in perma-
nent funds which assure fixed in
come. But innumerable people will
inherit few thousands of dollars,
and within few years will have
spent the whole amount,
What can these folks be dreaming
of, to be thus imprudent? Somehow
they think that in some magical way,
more will descend to them. I'VE
should worry" is the cheerful mot
to. They have faith that the fair
smiles of Lady Luck will be show
cred on them.
So the money goes and goes, slip
ping away, until on some day of dis
illusion they discover it is all gone
Henceforth they must depend on
their own earnings. Their days of
joy riding are over.
Many people of this type consti-
tute load for the community to
carry. In times of depression, many
of them are dependent ON charity, or
have to fall back ON friends and rel
atives,
Parents ought to teach their chill
dren at an early age to realize the
value of property, and make a be-
ginning on a permanent plan to ac-
quire some of their own. They |
should form the habit of making
bank deposits regularly, taking a
certain proportion of their earnings
or allowances each week or month.
A picture of the needs of their
iutute life should be drawn for
heir reflection. They will want the
money for sickness, for the homes
md family life they will desire some
lay, and they may want capital to
tart some business for themselves.
who acquire this habit of
arly saving are not likely to become
vasters later on.

Japan PLAYS ATT WAR

What is the meaning of the elab-
crate war games" which the Japa-
nese government is carrying on?
What possible enemy does the Japa-
nese government have in mind?
Apparently one possible enemy
they have in mind is none other
than the United States. Some of the
Japanese people are infected by a
very peculiar delusion, to the effect
that they are in danger of an attack
by the United States. They should
get over that notion, which has the
slightest foundation in reality. Our
people have no more idea of attack
ing Japan, than they have of send
ing an army to Europe to reduce
that continent to subsection.

YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF MORDS

If one were to get up debate on
what is the worlds most valuable
tool, it might be claimed that words
are entitled to that honor. When
people first arranged certain sounds
in the form of words to express
their ideas, they moved from barbar-
ism into civilization. BY the use of
language made up of words, man
power of persuasion, he becomes
able to direct the labor of others,
he leads social and political move
ments.
If person expects to do anything
in life other than the plainest kind
of hand work, he needs to acquire
a good knowledge of words. If he
knows many words, he becomes able
to persuade others of the merit of
his ideas and teach them how to do
useful things. Salesmanship, po-
litical success, and many other arts
are based on the effective use of
words in conveying ideas. But if a
person knows only a few words. the
world sets him down as a person
of limited intelligence.
II has been claimed that educated
persons are familiar with at least
$4,000 words. That may be doubt
ed. Yet most educated persons would
find that in a dictionary of 1000
pages, they know an average of rs |
words on each page. so the $4,000 es-
innate does not seem unlikely.
A knowledge of many words ac-
little unless people have
a fairly correct idea of their mean
ing and pronunciation. If you blum
1eringly put words in wrong places,
L would be, better not to use such
ones at all.
Constant reading is the way by
which anyone can acquire a good
of words. Many college
graduates who have no specially lit
'rary taste, know fewer words than
many constant newspaper readers
Rho never even graduated from any
Ugh school. Keep a dictionary on
our living room table, look up every
1ord you don't know, and in due
ime you will master the worlds
lost powerful tool, the one that has
waved empires and developed civil
cations. II

1t has been the aim of the Ma
tional Recovery Act, to put 6,O00,00(
unemployed to work by Labor Day
Recent estimates have had it that
100000 have been given work since
March. AS employment always in.
creases in summer, the new legisla-
tiOn can not be given full credit foI
that achievement. However il
seems probable that large part OF
that showing is due to the policies
which the government is inaugural
ing.
How far these gains prove perma-
nent is not certain. We must not
deceive ourselves with unreliable
hopes. Some of the gains might be
of speculative nature. due to the
feeling of many manufacturers that
prices are going up, and that they
would better stock up with mate
rials before they cost more.
But as prices seem likely to con-
tinue to rise under the government
policies, the reasons are strong
why producers and consumers
should keep on buying. If they do
not buy, they are likely to pay more.
Hence it seems probable that these
gains, which many have considered
speculative, are simply the result of
sound buying judgment
If we can have a full and hearty
cooperation from all who can af-
ford to give it, we ought to have that
s ,OOO, 900 put to work, if not by La
bor Day, at least by October 1.
There is money enough and wealth
enough in the country to do it.

EGG AUCTIONS AID
PRODUCER INCOME
Bring Members AIS Cents More Per
Dozen In State Than Philadelphia
By F. V. L. Turner

| Egg auctions in Pennsylvania
New Jersey and other States have
resulted in a materially increased
income to the member producers
and the membership in these auc-
tioDs has been greatly increased by
the attraction of better prices. A
greater number of buyers are al
ways on hand to absorb all offerings.
E. ]. Lawless, in charge of the
Bureau of Markets, Pennsylvania
Agricultural Department, Harris
burg, in his report for the second
quarter of the current year, gives
much interesting data covering the
prices obtained at Pennsylvania and
New Jersey auctions. This States
auctions are known as Doylestown,
Tricounty, Lehigh Valley, New Hol-
land and Coatesville, while those in
New Jersey are Pennington and
Vineland.
In summarizing the monthly aver
age prices for April, May and June,
Mr.. Lawless includes the opening
market prices of Philadelphia and
New York for the four grades of
eggs sold at the auctions and in the
two city markets; fancy large, fancy
medium, extra large and extra me-
diums.
For June, the five Pennsylvania
auctions for fancy large averaged
22.14 cents per dozen; the two New
Jersey auctions averaged 24.18 cents
per dozen. Philadelphia's price per
dozen was 1879 cents and New
York, 1861 cents.
ALI other grades were in the same
proportions, and for each of the
three months either Vineland or
Pennington registered high price on
all four grades. New York, each
month and for each grade, led Phil
adelphia in return to egg shippers.
Pennsylvania auctions, averaged in
price for June for fancy large grade,
returned to membership producers
ATS cents more per dozen than did |
the Philadelphia market. New
York's prices were 222 cents higeh |
than Philadelphia's.
A total of 26,O83 cases was han
died by the five State auctions in |
the quarter. A comparison made
with the total cases of eggs reach
ing Philadelphia from Pennsylvania /
producers would disclose a large
sum of money not now reaching
this States egg producers because
of the wide difference in price be-
tween auction markets and the city
market.

RATPROOFING CORNCRIBs

To ratproof new corncribs or old
ones that have good foundations,
stretch heavy wire netting of one
half inch mesh around the crib to
about two feet above the top of the
foundation and put an S-lnch strip
of galvanized iron just above the
netting. Also carry netting and
strip around the doors and door
frames. A wide metal strip may be
used instead of the wire netting.
Rats and mice sometimes cause
the loss of a third or fourth of the
corn held over the winter and also
damage cribs. If cribs are set too
close to the ground, rats in burrow-
ing will pile moist earth against the
floors, joists, and sills, causing them
to rot.

were battered mercilessly.
Small Craft Smashed
A number of tankers, fiat boats
and yachts were being tossed about
at their moorings all day Wednes-
day inside the Delaware breakwater.
All along the river and bay, small
craft were smashed up ON the
beaches. At Bowers Beach, two
boats collided, badly damaging one,
when a schooner owned by Harold
Singer broke loose from its moorings
and crashed into a boat owned by
Willis Ritz. The craft owned by
Ritz was the one damaged. Other
boats broke loose from their moor
ings there.
The large oil tanker st. Lawrence
which came through the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal from Baltimore
got out of control at the Delaware
City entrance to the canal. 1t had
been anchored in the harbor at the
canal entrance but had slipped its
moorings Only long struggle by
the crew prevented the tanker from
being beached. Finally it was tied
up to Salder's wharf at Delaware
City.
A half dozen smaller boats, in
cluding several pleasure yachts,
sought haven in the harbor at the
canal entrance and were apparently
out of danger.
Two persons were hurt when
Greyhound Ibus overturned near
Laurel. The bus was abandoned and
the injured persons taken into

In the Delmar and Salisbury area,
it was estimated that upwards of

EXCESSIVE AMBITION


Can there be such a thing as too
much ambition? We exhort the
young folks to be go-getters. We
tell them that push and determina-
tion will elevate them to great
heights. They are fed with a prop
uganda of success stories. They see
visions of themselves as captains of
industry and heads of corporations.
Then when these youngsters get
out in the cold world with these
thoughts, and founder around buff
feted from one mischance to an
other, what happens to their happy
dreams? They discover obstacles
that the success stories forgot to
mention. The ups and downs of
trade. the competition of smart riv-
ais, the dishonesty of some-these
and other fates lie in store for them.
The climb up the ladder, what a
toilsome and hazardous ascent it
isl
Some of these youngsters decline
to accept substantial chances
around home, because they see no
promotion therefrom to high posi-
ton. They throw away time and
money on some more ambitious at
tempt, they roam around the coun-
try seeking large opportunities, and
aften fall far behind those who
started with modest aims.
The world does not need so many
big bosses. We have too many COM
peting for too few of those high
jobs. For every manager in the in
dustries, many must be subordinates
and take lesser positions.
Little boats must stay near shore,
Larger ships my venture more.
says an old saw.
OF course ambition is one of the
finest of qualities. We must all Gull
tivate it and teach it to the young
sters. But do not put hopes to lofty
in peoples minds that they will butt
their heads against impossible walls. |
Let us simply say that energy, |
mental effort, and fidelity are always
rewarded in Delaware and every
where else.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 14.-President
Roosevelt is considering restoring at
least part of the Is per cent reduction
in Federal salaries, probably at the
beginning of the new calendar year.
The Social Science Research Council
plans fact-finding survey of admins
trative and technical positions in every
branch of public service, which is ex-
pected to include around 2,500,000 en-
ployes of national, State and local gov
ernments.
These two pieces Of news, reaching
Wall Street almost simultaneously
brought the unanimous verdict that
both proposals should be carried out.
It was not merely the fact that the
financial district wants to have salaries
raised at time when the Government
is struggling with q deficit and thou
sands of persons remain without jobs;
rather the Street is hopeful that resto-
ration Of part of the Federal pay cut
will bring about some measure Of
efficiency in Washington that in many
departments there is now said to be
lacking.
