casts of frost tonight as far south as
Northwestern Missouri impaired con-
siderable strength to grain markets to-
day, but late profit taking virtually
wiped out gains.
Aggressive buying developed on early
dips of wheat values, and there were
intimations that mills were purchas-
ing. Yesterdays breaks in the wheat
market were said to have brought
about a better demand for flour.

THE HOUSE BIZ THE SIDE OF

BY Sam W. Foss
There are hermit souls that live
withdrawn
In the place of their self-control
There are souls like stars that dwell
apart
In a fellowless armament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze a
path
Where highways never ran.
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road,
Where the race of men go by
The men that are good, the men that
are bad,
AS good and as bad as l.
Then why should l sit in the scorn-
er's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road
And be a friend to man.
see from my house by the side of
the road.
By the side of the highway of life,
The men that press on with the ar
dor of hope,
And the men that are faint with
the strife.
And l turn not away from their
smiles and their tears
Both part of an infinite plan.
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road
And be a friend to man.
know there are broOk-gladdened
meadows ahead,
And mountains of WEAKNESS
height,
That the road stretches through the
long afternoon
And passes away to the might.
Yet still l rejoice when the travellers
rejoice
And weep with the strangers that
moan;
Nor live in my house by the side of
the road
Like a man that lives alone.
Let me live in a house by the side
of the road,
Where the race of men go by,
They are good. they are bad, they
are weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish; so am l.
Then why should I sit in the scorn-
er's seat
Or hurl a synic's ban?
Let me live in a house by the side

And be a friend TO man.

the Constitution, it still requires a
two-thirds vote of the next session
of the Legislature to become a law.
Senator Van SAINTS bill to create
a State Horse Racing Commission to
control racing, but making it illegal
to bet on races. was approved dur
ing the regular session.
Approval was given to Represen-
tative Hawkes. bill to amend the
State boxing law so that the num-
Der of rounds for any show is in
creased from 80 to 40 and so that
ten round bouts, instead of the eight

this law allows two 20 round cham

The Legislature, during its regu-

bills. After the Legislature had ad-
journed. Governor Buck administer
ed the pocket veto to 80 bills, in
cluding 26 which carried apprOpri-
ations apprOximating $4,000 from

During the recent special session
of the Legislature, only Is bills
managed to gain the approval of
both houses and make the&- way to
Governor Buck. The most important
OF these were Senator Glenn's bill to

HASTINGS HEADS
MOVE TO REGAIN
PARTY CONTROL
IConiinred from Fir,t Paa,1

y
McNary said it would conducts its
own campaign to raise funds for
support of the Republican candi-
dates, with headquarters in New
York, and sub-headquarters in Chi
cago.
The makeup of the Senatorial
committee has been the subject of
long under-the-surface conflict with
in Republican ranks, because of the
contest for control of the party be-
tween the various factions.
Though McNary managed to keep
a fairly even balance between the
conservative and progressive fac
tions. he selected six. of the commit
teemen from the West and only
three from the East. Not one could
be considered a member of the "Old
Guard" faction of the party form
erly led by Senators Watson of In
diana and Moses of New Hamp-
shire.
Hastings, the chairman, is regard
ed by his colleagues as more conser-
vative than some of the other COM
mittee members, but he was a prom
inent figure in the Young Turk"
movement m Senate ranks a few
years ago which revolted against
conservative leadership.
Norbeck and Nye have been asso-
ciated more or less closely with the
Western independent faction of the
Senate group. while Capper. Stei-
wer and Carey have voted with them
at times. Barbour and White,
though fasteners. are not known

sembly in their memory. Action OF
this General Assembly resulted in
Delaware being the eighth State to
ratify the amendment to the Federal
Constitution to repeal the Eigh-
teenth Amendment (the national
prohibition act). Under this measure,
which had been introduced by Rep
resentative Hawke, II delegates
were elected throughout the State
to attend a ratification convention in
Dover. The II delegates elected
were unanimously for the repeal
amendment.
The Legislature also passed three
bills to provide for local option
elections in rural New Castle coun-
ty, Kent county and Sussex county
on June 6 to determine whether they
desired to continue prohibition or to
permit the issuing of licenses for
liquor in their respective districts.
All voted overwhelmingly in favor
of licenses. AS Wilmington had new
er opposed license on a local option
election, it was not necessary for
that city to vote.
Representative Hawkes. bill to re-
peal the Klair law, the States pro-
hibition enforcement act, was pass
ed by the Legislature.
During the regular session, Rep
Schroeder's Temporary
beer bill" was passed to control the
sale and distribution
of 32 per cent beer in Delaware.
Shortly afterwards, Representa-
tive SimOn's bill was enacted to pro-
vide for a Delaware Liquor Commits
sion of one member to control the
and sale of liquors,
wines and beer in the State. Pas
sage of this bill was marked with
differences within the

obstacles was the number

how it should be named. Finally,

Celery trade was very quite in

Produce shipments dropped about
IS per cent after the expected needs
of the holiday markets had been
allied. The countrywide cold wave
late in the month almost stopped
shipments from some northern sec
tions and the previous daily total
of about 1000 carloads decreased
further Current output Of western
lettuce, caulifiower, and carrots,
southern snap beans and new cab
bage continued fairly heavy for the
season.
The iobbing trade showed the
usual year-end dullness, emphasized
by the extremely cold weather. Trade
was very quiet but many of the price
changes were upward, in response
to expected reduction in carlot re-
ceipts.
Trend of the potato market was
upward the first of January as a re-
suit of light shipments reported dur
ing the cold snap; stormy weather,
and low temperatures, together with
holiday conditions, almost stopped
shipments from many northern pro-
ducing sections and daily carload
ings were only about half the re-
cent volume at times. There were
few haulings in such districts as
northern Maine and western New
York.
Sweet potatoes met moderate de-
mand in eastern cities and prices
were firm on stock OF good quality.
New Jersey sweets brought 90c to
$1.25 per bushel, although poorer
lots were quoted at 50-75 cents. Del
aware and Maryland sweets were
about steady at 75c to $1.25; and
barrel-pack from Virginia of fair
quality moved slowly at $1-$1.5O.
Onions
The slightly upward trend shown

GRANDMA'S
SCRAP BOOK

Or the child at my bosom will die
From the winds that blow DER the
wild moor.
"Oh, why did / leave this fair cot,
Where once / was happy and free?
Doomed to roam without friends or
a home,
Oh, father, take pity on mel"
But her father was deaf to her cries,
Not a voice or a sound reached
the door;
The watchdog did bark and the
winds
Blew bitter across the wild moor.
Oh, how must her father have felt
When he came to the door in the
morn.
And saw Mary dead, and her child
Fondly clasped in its dead mo-
theirs arms,
While in frenzy he tore his gray
hairs,
AS he gazed on Mary at the door,
For that night she had perished,
alas!
From the winds that blew o'er the
wild moor.
The father, in grief, pined away,
The child to the grave was soon
borne,
And no one lives there to this day,
For the cottage to ruin has gone.
The villagers point out the spot
Where a willow droops over the
door;
Saying, There Mary perished,
alas,
From the winds that blew DER the
wild moor"
