bling, Why discriminate against
crap games, lottery, policy writing,
slot machines, punch-boards and like
gambling games? Only two mem-
bers Of the Senate voted against the
bill. Il seems to me on a matter of
this kind the opinions Of the people
Ia the various Senatorial districts
should be secured by the Senator
representing 60 them. We predict
that within a short time after gamb-
ling on horse racing Is permitted
"bookies" will have branches in
every village and hamlet in the
State opened, taking bets ON the
races, and many hundreds Of dollars
that should be used in the family
will find. their way in the Golfers of
the ''bookies." Much of the welfare
funds will find lodging place there.
The State needs more revenue but
this is an ungodly way to secure it.

Lima bean contracts are being put
ont by the canneries, and growers
are signing readily. as this crop last
year was paying one. 1t is believed
that an increased acreage will be
planted to this crop this year. The
section between the Mispilliom river
and RehOboth bay is peculiarly {
adapted to the growing of lima beans
and the canned product marketed by
local canneries is considered the :
best in the country.
The button cutters of Milton have |
formed a union and it is reported I
that about ninety per cent of the .
cutters here have Joined. There are
about 200 cutters here. and IL is I
hoped that their demands upon the

Rered with justice and common sense. n
At this time there are many towns
who would welcome such plants in G
their midst "A word to the wise. /
