NEAT COUNTRYSIDES

Motorists frequently comment on
the fact that since the depression
farm residences and buildings have
taken ON more coats of fresh paint
than usual. As new highways have
spread in web-like fashion the
farmers have "furgished up" their
buildings and grounds, as if to show
that they welcome the legions of
new visitors passing by their front
doors.
City ideas and improvements have
moved out into the country, and de-
spite the fact that most everybody
is now boasting about hard luck and
poverty, Dur great agricultural sec
tions never looked more prosper
Gus. The United States is actually
beginning to match the magnificence
of rural England, the country from
which our own nation received its
birthright.
OF course there may be plenty of
mortgages on our farms and a need
for farm relief in the new scheme
of things, but that does not alter
certain discernible facts which prove
that paint, prosperity and pride have
revolutionized the appearance of
homes and buildings in the country,
as well as the farms on which they
are located.

DELAWARE HAS

FOR RELIEF NEEDS
GCOntiHHed from First Page1

State borrowing another $2,500, 1000, ''
declared DR.. Hopkins when he had
finished his statement land l shall
not vote for loan in that amount
to saddle this additional debt upon
this State"
This is real news" reads state
ment issued by State official, "be-
cause the public has never before
been apprised of the fact, those who
knew it evidently had reasons. for
not telling it and the rest seems to
have been so kept in the dark that
many of us were ignorant of the
fact. Notwithstanding this the pub
lie has been led to believe that an
other huge appropriation of $780,
900 is necessary at this time to keep
the hungry from starving.
"Ten million dollars to be spent
in unneeded construction and as
doles in State with population of
but few over 225,OOO people and
with less than 5000 families in ac-
tual need, yet these explOiters of the
public treasury, at the ultimate ex-
pense of every home owner and farm
owner in the State, would have us
think that the MANNED and crippled
and the hungry are crying for
more"
1t was further emphasized that
the figures quoted by DIR. Hopkins
in his statement to the House do not
mention government loans to the
city of Wilmington, the counties
and towns for local improvements,
either already authorized locally or
to be authorized, plus a 80 per cent
bonus which will likely
make this additional total run into
several million dollars MORE"
"And some would have you be-
lieve," the statement concludes, |
that the State should be. further
plunged into the red to squeeze out |
S2,500,000 additional"

surged toward the receiving vault.
The funeral service was ended
abruptly by screams and yells. The
fight to get flowers continued until
there was not spray or wreath
remaining.
Hours before the cortege was
scheduled to arrive at the Gate of
Heaven cemetery a large crowd had
assembled. Many persons climbed
on tombstones and monuments to
get a better view. Others climbed
to the roof of the receiving vault.
The crowd broke into a hushed
cheer as the hearse passed through
the cemetery gate. AS the casket
was removed, hundreds surged for
ward. The way was blocked and
the procession was forced to halt.
Finally a way was cleared for the
pallbearers and members of the
family and the casket was carried
into the vault. 1t was then that
the riot started.
Five of the injured were passen-
gers in motor car which collided
with three other machines during
the melee.
