DECISION IN THE GYPSY'S
WARNING

Down beside yon flowing river.
Where berefted willows weep.
Where must lie that fair one ever,
Stranger, why those vigils keep?
Why go there alone and early,
Those morning flowers to strew?
Did you love in truth, SO dearly?
Do you grieve as others do?
Stranger, I've been thinking sadly
How you promis'd, wooed and
won;
How innocent her love. that gladly
Heard fair words, built hopes
thereon;
That she's in the cold ground sleep
ing,
By the rivers moaning wave.
That the willows now are weeping
Ger that maiden's early grave.
Warnings from that grave do tell
me
And a living voice l hear
OF a wOoer that would seek me,
Pleading by a love sincere.
That without me life was sorrow.
Take this heart and hand of mine,
Promise bliss for ev'ry morrow.
Then forsake me-let me pine.
Stranger. will heed the warning
Coming from that rivers side;
Flowers YOU strew there in the
morning,
I'll renew at eventide;
There our walks, but not together
For the Gypsy tells me true;
NIourns her child I'm tears that
smother
Ev'ry kindly thought of you.

PROBLEMS

lay in refinancing of farm mort
cages in Delaware is the cOncilia-
tiOn of farm debts, it being stated
that there are cases where the debts
of an individual farmer exceed the
amount that can be loaned through
the Farm Credit Administration.
Governor Buck understands that the
land banks require all the debts OF
a farmer be compromised with the
amount that can be loaned in order
that he may have a reasonable op-
portunity to pay his obligations.
Governor Buck expressed the
opinion that it is the duty OF the
State. rather than a Federal agency
to handle this problem.
In asking the members to serve
ON the commission. Governor Ruck
acquainted them with these facts.
He said he felt that committee OF
the kind will be of benefit not only
to the debtor. but to his creditors as

DENY STATES
PAUPER LAWS
AREOBSOLETE
[CsHtinHtd from Firm PGgt1

ing chapter fifty-four of the revised
code, shall be and is hereby repeal
ed"
In 1881, the State Old Age Welfare
Commission sought legal opinion as
to whether persons receiving state
aid in the form of pensions, also in
mates of the Old Age Welfare Home
would be deprived of the right of
franchise.
The Welfare Commission was ad-
vised that the question might arise
in court some day but in the opin-
ion of this lawyer, guests Of the We'll
fare Home and those receiving PEN
siOns from the State would not be
deprived of the right of franchise.
In this era of social changes, the
definition of "pauper" is being con-
sidered from different angle.
Thomas Z. Peeney, secretary Of the
Wilmington Department of Elec-
tions, for instance, does not think
any one in Wilmington can be bar
rcd from voting on the charge of be-
ing pauper.
As for those receiving direct relief
from the State, Mr.. Peeney said their
condition was classed as a tempOr-
airy one and they could not be called
paupers.
Delaware's law, Miss Perkins said,
deprives persons having the status
of paupers of the right to vote or
hold public Office. The law might be
interpreted as applying to all those
on relief lists and Civil Works rolls.
she said.
Among the injustices on which
the depression has turned new
light are the pauper laws in some of
the States" Miss Perkins said.
"These are inheritances from the
Elizabethan poor law which reflect
a point of view on the cause of pow
erty long since proven unsound.
Then it was believed that men were
individually responsible when they
were unable to find work and that
society should punish them. If there
were any left in 1929 who held this
old doctrine they have now aband-
oned it,"

After the strongly rising trend the
first half of the month the produce
market followed a mixed course OF
prices in late January. Potatoes
continued i'm strong position, sup
plies being still moderate in some
central markets, but rapid increase
of shipments from Maine and Idaho
indicated coming increase Of receipts
and the Chicago market weakened a
little from top levels reached. On
ions and cabbage markets were in
clined to sag slightly under liberal
shipments but price changes were
small Celery and lettuce markets
were dull and various lines of south
ern produce showed seasonal
downward trend. Low prices of
Strawberries have disappointed
southern growers. The apple mar
ket holds up we'll. especially for
eastern and mid-western fruit. To-
tai produce shipments are about O.
900 carloads daily, which is close
to the figures of late January last
season.
Potatoes Sell Higher
Trend of the potato market turned
sharply upward again after the mid
die of the month and the sharp gains
were fairly well maintained. East
ern potato markets responded more
slowly to the rising trend this
month but have held gains well.
Average jObbing price of Maine
Green Mountains i'm eastern markets
is above SO per 100 pounds. New
York. Pennsylvania and Maryland
round white varieties followed job
bling range of S1.6O to $1.9O in east
ern markets.
Most growers in northern Maine
refuse to sell for less than So per
barrel in bulk. Cold weather and
drifted roads still prevent farmers
from hauling any large quantities
and shipments are mostly from ware
houses.
The seed potato market has been
firm in Maine and prices advanced
the second half of January. Ger
titled cObbleTs are selling at $3.50
to S3.55 per 11-peck bag and Green
Mountains So to $3.25 for spring
shipment. Movement of certified
seed has been nearly double that of
the same date a year ago. Spauld-
ing Rose have been mostly for Flori-
da planting and much of the in
crease in shipments of cobblers has
been to Long Island and Virginia.

This is certainly a restless age.
Too many are spending what they
earn long before payday. On every
hand the cry is for promotion. There
is the boss side to this demand.
Maybe, among these reasons you
might be able to find yours:
He watched the clock.
He was always grumbling.
He was always behindtime.
He had no iron in his blood.
He was willing, but untitled.
He didn't believe in himself.
He asked too many questions.
He was stung by a bad book.
His stock excuse was Il forgot"
He wasn't ready for the next step.
He did not put his heart in his work.
He learned nothing from his blund-
ers.
He felt that he was above his posi-
tion.
He choose his friends among his in
feriors.
He was content to be a second-rate
man,
He ruined his ability by half doing
things.
He never dared to act on his own
judgment.
He did not think il worth while to
learn how.
He thought he must take some
amusement every evening.
He thought it was. clever TO use
coarse and profane language.
He did not learn that the best part
OF his salary was not in his pay
envelope.
There are but few you are not
experts at weeping when found out.

When you put yourself on the
block to be sold to the highest bid

cannot buy. It won't buy the rich

Departing from a custom that has
been followed since its inception, the
association Saturday elected Mrs.
Elizabeth B. Holcombe OF the East
ern Shore Times, of Berlin, Nd, to
membership, the first woman to be-
come a member since the organiza-
ton was founded. Frank Gregson,
manager of the Hotel dupont, was
elected an honorary member.
Mr.. Usilton, retiring president,
speaking on the expressed fear OF
some newspaper men that the NRA
may try to restrict the freedom Of
the press, told the assembled editors
that during the past 125 years no
serious attempt had been made either
by the Federal Government or by
state authorities to limit the liberty
of the press and during the period
this nation was engaged in four
wars, two of which-the Civil War
and the World War, were struggles
of great proportions.
Nevertheless" Mr.. Usilton said,
even in these great national crises,
newspapers enjoyed an unusually
great degree of freedom; the restric-
tions imposed upon them were
trifing."
When the period of our seeming
economic chastisement is past a
change will come that will be so
pervasive and yet so intangible that
one of the most important questions
of the future will be, What brought
it about? The important thing for
us is to lift our vision above the
worries that circumscribe us now,
take note of the progress of man
kind, down through the ages and
from that record take hope for bet
ter days ahead he continued.
Paid Locals" was the subject of
brief talk by Mr.. Usilton during
the afternoon. He declared the paid
locals, little social "squibs" about
persons, which frequently appear in
weekly papers, should be relegated
to the advertising section of the
paper, as they are not properly
news.

vertisements and news columns.
Clarence j. Pyle, of the News
Journal Company. discussed How

gestiOns Mr.. Pyle said the Peninsula
