these Federal regulations became
tax returns to the Bureau of Internal
Revenue are requested to see Mr..
Donoho on tn above date. 1t is also
desired that those farmers who paid
their dressed pork processing tax
last month come to Dover and re-
imburse the government for all pork
which has been sold since jan
uary II.
The securing of the assistance and
cooperation of a representative of
this branch of the government SER
vice for the convenience of those
farmers in Kent county who have
this hog processing tax to pay, was
the result of the many inquiries
which the county agent has been re-
ceiving in regard to this particular
subject.
The office of the Internal Revenue
Service for Delaware is located in
Wilmington, and until arrangements
were made for some one from this
department to be in Dover for one
day each month, those farmers who
are selling dressed pork were re-
quired to make their monthly re-
turns to that office. which was not
the most convenient method of pay
ing this tax. 1t is impossible at this
time to state how long this service
will be in operation, but in all prob
ability if there is sufficient demand
plans will be made to continue to set
aside at least one day each month
for the benefit of the farmers in this
part of Delaware.

THIS OLD COUNTRY

(By Mrs. L. l.. S. Rogers)
Good times or bad times, we're with
this country still;
With her on the mountain-tOp or
slidin' down the hill
Don't care how corn's a-sellin', if
cOtton's high or low
This old country, brethren, is the
best one that We know.
Good times or bad times, we're with
this country still:
Every time We feel her shake we
have a friendly chill!
Don't care how things is goin', nor
how the tempests blow,
This here old country, brethren, is
the best one that We know!
Good times or bad times, we're with
this country still;
With her when we SOW the grain an
when we go to mill.
Don't care what's in the future;
we'll whistle as we go.
For this old country. brethren, is
the best one that we know.

Morning Thoughts
BY J. MARVIN NICHOLS
Dallas. Texas

There is a pathetic harm about old
age. We are sure there is nothing
quite SO lovely as the old grandma
ther. sitting in her accustomed place
in the chimney corner. We love to
watch the silver-haired matriarch
fondle a darling child upon her knee.
They are the salt of the earth and a
treasure in any home. They are the
familiar figure i'm community life.
And more than any measure of live
for others. there is coming a time
when we shall crave the love and
carasses of our intimates and
friends. Old age is keenly sensitive
to any form of neglect. II is not in
tentional No, we often commit this
neglect through attention to other
matters.
We forget that this inward crav-
ing of old age allows of no apollo
gies and understands no reason for
the absent caresses and the Old-time
fondlings. Il transmutes everything
into neglect. Age softens the heart
and the soul finds itself pining for
the touch of vanished hand. Moth
ing stirs us quite so much as the
vacant chair. Let's love them more
and more. What would we do with
out them? We shall reach their es-
tate if the chord OF life lengthens
out. Some day we ourselves are go
ing to sit in the twilight of an eve
ming that's full of dreams and long
ings. Some one sweetly said:
Put your arms around me
There-like that;
/ want little petting
At life's setting,
For 'tis harder to be brave
When feeble age comes creeping,
And finds me weeping.
Dear ones gone.
Just little petting
At life's setting:
For I am old and tired.
And my life's long work is done,
ego
A face that cannot smile Is like a
rose that cannot bloom.
If uncomfortable under the worlds
scrutiny, be sure there is some
thing you ought to know about your
self.

A man had better die poor II his
boarded wealth comes by piracy and (
pilIage, even though It be gotten un-
der the guise of progress and the
policy Of the ege. !

Fruit and vegetable markets In
the east and middle west have SHIFT
ed somewhat, I'm line with the abrupt
changes in weather conditions near
the beginning Of February. Snip
ments had increased rapidly during
the preceding mild weather, amount
ing to over 10000 carloads the last
week of January, including gains for
western potatoes and apples Tor
southern and southwestern truck
crops and fruits. Return Of extreme
ly low temperatures promptly cut
down northern carlot output and
strengthened position in central mar
kets. Mild weather in early Febru-
airy favored more liberal shipments,
but the central markets had been
fairly well cleared Of old supplies
and the market position was fairly
good.
Prices of potatoes, onions and cab
bage were holding firm around the
first of the month after the recent
sagging tendency. Celery markets
continued weak Lettuce prices held
nearly unchanged. Southern straw
berries have been selling at low
prices, although there was a slight
recovery during the cold snap. Trend
Of the apple market is still slowly
upward and price gains have been
well maintained. Trading was re-
ported slow in nearly all eastern
markets. General price trend was
slightly downward in Chicago and
Kansas City. Pittsburg market was
slow and irregular. Demand at New
York was only fair and prices nearly
unchanged on most lines. Trading
was light at Boston and prices uh-
changed or slightlylower. Wash
ingtOn and southern markets con-
tinued in nearly steady position.
Cabbage Market Weak
The cabbage situation was some
what. strengthened by the cold
weather OF late January followed by
reduced shipment. Prices OF old cab
bage from storage have held up we'll,
considering the heavy supply of good
quality new cabbage from Texas and
Florida, but sales around 500 in Wis
consin producing sections contrast
with. high prices of $40 a month or
so ago, while eastern producing sec
tiops have sagged to the low 30's.
Not many city markets quoted as
high as $40 a ton. Southern cab
bage has been holding prices fairly
well, with most jobbing sales at 81
to $1.35 per hamper for northern
