KEEP LIQUORS

p. S. DUPONT is Invited to

TO STRENGTHEN LAW

Liquor and gasoline - maybe
they don't mix but they will be the
prime topics of discussion at an in
terstate conference of liquor COM
missioners in New York City to-
day, Thursday, December 6, the
beginning of the nations second
year of repeal. p S. DUPONT, Del
aware's liquor commissioner, has
been invited to attend the confer
ence. Other states to be repre-
sented are Virginia, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine. This con-
ference will prepare to launch a
Federal-State drive to force the
flow of liquor in legal channels.
New York's commissioner of tax
alton, Mark Graves, called the
meeting. "The experience of one
year since repeal has demonstrat-
ed that a tremendous amount of
taxable beverages, particularly
distilled liquors, escapes State and
Federal taxation" he said. 1T has
been shown that lack of proper OBJ
servation of interstate and intra-
state movements is responsible for
such liquor being sold outside of
taxable channels, and that in
number of states provisions of
laws designed to force this flow
into legal channels can be mater
tally strengthened by concerted
action between states with the
Federal government"

How to Sharpen Pencils in Two
Easy Lessons

With the wonders of this modern
age, the perplexities of modern in
vention, and sophistication of mod
ern civilization, I must say, though
really regret it, that our people
are quite ignorant in the art of
sharpening pencils.
However, we must face the
facts, although they are humiliat-
ing. We must bear up and en-
deavor, with all our will, to be-
come more versed in this clever
science. Pencil sharpening is nee
essary in many phases of life. We
all use pencils at sometime. Let
me give a few examples to Illus
trate the need of pencils. AS chill
dren we all learned to write ON
houses, mar wall paper, and
scratch up books and magazines
with pencils. Where would the
child be without this amusemnt?
In the stage of youth, one may
frequently observe amateur artists
drawing for the purpose of Great
ing disorder in school or for gen
eral amusement. Older people
would be at a loss If they could not
work crossword puzzles or such
forms of enjoyment. Thus you
may see the advantages of pencils.

The Value of a Good Book

There are many people who
claim that they despise reading
books. I believe that the majority
Of these people are those who can
not grasp the meaning that an
author tries to put across in the
book. Therefore, these people will
find any book uninteresting. Few
are the individuals who can say
that they do not like to read a
book tht takes them to new land
full of adventure and romance,
and sets their mind at ease from
trials and problems.
A great amount of endowment
may be found in the reading of
good book. Those who are sick or
disabled rely on a book for their
recreation just as the healthy per
son relies on sports and games for
his recreation. Book reading pro-
vides mental recreation and happi-
ness for many other than the sick
or disabled. A person can learn to
like books just as he likes any
thing else, if he chooses to do SO.
What knowledge that may not
be gained through years of exper-
ience may be gained by spending
few hours in reading a book!
Our knowledge Of the events that
happened before our time would be
very small, and we could not profit
by what our forefathers knew or

of them can be fatal if applied in
too large amounts and agricul-
tural officials are unanimous in
warning farmers to apply rare
elements only when they have an
exact knowledge of the chemical
factors involved.
Fortunately, most soils do not
contain selenium, sometimes called
the "moon metal" in poisonous
amounts. Nature was wise in pro-
viding most soils with just the
right amounts of other rare ele-
ments. The safest thing for farm
ers to do is to use modern pure
fertilizers rather than to gamble
on the benefit of using fertilizers
containing several powerful i'm
purities. This applies especially to
farmers who have reason to think
that their soil has already been

Good old sport" said Joe and
looked fondly at the young Bert
smiling at the crowds below him.
And Alfredo knew her first sur
mise had been wide of the mark.
Joe Boswell worshiped his brother
for the very things that he himself
could never attempt to do. He
scorned himself for being a stay
at-home man who made his living
tied down TO an office desk.

come and live at home" And she
put her arm about Joe's big shoul-

be to me if it weren't for Joe.
Hes such a comfort-this boy

Alfredo looked into the somewhat
