RUINED FARMERS GIVEN NEW HOPE
IS Protest Price Offered for Sub-Margi1mI Property

TO me with considerable enthusi-
asm.
"On 40-acre homesteads fam
lies can live comfortably and
happily. Right here in this section
they could have for cash crops
three or four ere of strawberries
that should gross them $50 an
acre; three or four acres of toma-
toes, bringing them in a gross of
around S35 an acre; they should
sell two or three fat pigs and
chickens and eggs, and they
should raise almost everything
they eat.
Besides their house and fuel and
their food they should have a
cash income of at least $500 a
year. Here in this mild climate
they should have a little a and
a radio and live like kings"
TIE was designing a new Amer
IL lea here in the foothills of
the Ozarks. "'We're starting it
now" he went on. The govern
ment is doing it's level best to
take these poor people off their
sub-marginal lands and put them
in new homes and get them
started down the road to true
economic independence.
Hundreds of others are going
down the path themselves. In this
one county there are 585 more
families on small farms than there
were in 1880. I'd say that IS per
cent of the more intelligent ones
are making it go.
81 can teach them how to farm
a good deal easier than I can how
to become good business men.
Unless we move folks from cities
back to the land we're going to be
in a continually worse shape in
this country. And for the flu
ture of our land we've got to put
poor tenant farmers and people on
sub-marginal lands on little tracts
where they can earn their own
living and become good citizens"
A HUNDRED miles to the south
N and east in Arkansas a
shrewd old man in a country store
repeated much the same thing.
"a man here on 20 acres can live
well" he said.
with a COW or two and straw
berries and a little orchard of
Alberta peaches and $50 chickens
and his own garden, say, he can
be independent.
But people are gettin' terrible
lazy. Why, some of the folks on
relief here amt even bOtherin' to
put in a garden. There's SO much
Spendin' on relief that I'm gettin'
scared. I reckon Roosevelt will
get reelected, but I don't care
near as much fer him as I did a
couple years ago. He's blowing
too much money"

Let's See HOU He Does

LONG, on the other hand, began as .
= politician and became dictator OF the materlal
affairs of Louisiana, anSwerable to nobody, before
he began to suggest the existence of a working ar
raneement with God. His dictatorship is far greater
than that of any of the others here mentioned. Utah
is large in territory, but Brigham Youngs domain
was unimportant on any other basis OF comparison
with the kingdom of the Kingfsh.
But, like the others, even though he has reversed
the order of things, Huey demands unquestioning
faith and severely rebukes any challenge. Like Sister
Aimee. he has a brass band except that his band Is
bigger and gaudier than hers and is, according to his
claim. the loudest damn band in the world. And,
like all of them. he is beset by enemies of the most
sinister and malignant kind who do not hesitate TO
call him a faker and to question his disposition OF
the money.
It is a distinct novelty to find a prophet acting
as press agent for a brand of gin as Huey did IN
New York the other day, but these are new times
and gin is now a legitimate article OF commerce, IN
addition to which Huey has originality. He is the
onlv prophet who could ~pubicize gin and get away
with tan evidence of the mans power in the land.
1t will be fascinating to note the progress OF the
new trinity of the Lord, the Constitution ana the
Kinghsh. All his previous alliances have gone 10
smash because he wanted to be head man. he was
once content to be a follower Of Franklin d. RooSe-
Welt. but wound up by calling him a liar ana a 1aKer.
Huev will hesitate long before denounc1ng his new
senior partner in similar terms, but anything Is pos
sib1e in a dictator. Stain and Hitler did.

Lower Delaware farmers, who are
heavy producers Of soy beans. are
hard hit on their crop this year, and
there is every indication, from re-
ports reaching here throughout the
county. that many thousands Of dol
lars will be lost because Of the
rainy season for the past three or
four weeks.
After cutting the crop last month
and making plans to have it thresh-
cd, heavy rains set in and prevented

that fair weather would prevail and
dry out the beans SO they could be
threshed However. the result has
been that in many instances the
beans started sprOuting and many
began to rot thps making them
Many Of the farmers place their
hopes Of making a years work on
the farm from the soy bean crop,
but they are going to be greatly dis

For Clearing Roads.
HEAVY DUTY PLOWS

When SHOWS of the coming win

partment, with its former equip
ment supplemented by newly pur-
chased apparatus, will have a total
Of ITO snow fighting units ready to
attack the job Of removing the snow
from the miles Of highways which
the department maintains, Chief
Engineer W. W. Mack announced
this week.
With this equipment ready for
instant call to duty and with
changes in plans made as a result
OF last years experience in open
ing all main highways within a few
hours despite the depth Of last win
ter's snow drifts, the chief engineer
expects to be In first class shape for

Much Of the departments SNOW
removal equipment is Of the de-
mountab1e type which can readily
be attached to or removed from
regular department trucks in ae-
cordance with requirements.
Last year the department made
improvements in this equipment
that greatly aided in the problem Of
snow clearing. Reversible blade
plows were added so that the truck
could handle both sides Of the road,
operating back and forth over the
road, and shields were also added to
the tops Of the plow blade which
prevented the flying snow from
clogging the radiators or filling the

This Week.
INCREASE rs SHOWN
Amount Saved Here This
Year Is $4,000 More
Than Year Ago.

Residents of Milford who for the
past fifty years have been practice
ing thrift and each week laying
aside a sum for the Christmas Saw
ings Fund conducted by the local
banks are being rewarded to the
tune of $91, 1926. This money is re-
leased by the Milford Trust Com
pany, the First National Bank and
Trust Company and the Savings
Fund Club of the L. d. Caulk Com
pany, all Of which have been in ex-
istence for several years. This is a
increase of $1,000 from the dis
bursements made by these three
clubs last year. and indicates that
the idea is still popular in Milford.
In the State a total Of almost $4,000,
600 will be distributed this season.
The first savings clubs on the
Peninsula were started several
years ago at Salisbury, Md. The gen
eral public eagerly accepted the
method to systematically save for
the holiday season. Shortly thereaft
ter The L. ID. Caulk Company con-
eeiyed the idea Of conducting saw
ings fund for their employees. The
plan was successful, and outsiders
were allowed to join the club. The
Milford Trust Company later took up
the idea, and they too were success
full and secured many depositors
therefrom. A few years later the
First National Bank and Trust Com
pany started its club and each year
has shown a satisfactory increase
in the number of persons who have
Joined its club.
This yes the Caulk Savings Club
will send out checks to the approxi-
mate amount Of $4,000 10 its mem-
hers. This is an increase Of $4,000
over last year. The Milford Trust
Company has mailed q total of s27,-

social life which would
avoid extremes and get people work

Business men, he said, feel the

Board to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Thomas S. Four
acre, of Middletown, it has been an
nOunced by Governor Buck.
The actual appointment Of Mr..
Grantland will not be made until
later, however, as Mr.. Fouracre's
resignation is not effective until the
end of the month.
Mr.. FOuracre, who is editor and
publisher Of the Middletown Trans
cript, is understood to have present.
ed his resignation due to the
amount Of time his duties under
the recently enacted Federal social
security legislation, will take from
his private business. This work will
increase the work of the board and
probably will require the full time
of its members. Mr.. Fouraere's
term would have ended November 1,
1899.
Mr.. Grantland, who is the father
Of the law under which the board
operates, served as secretary Of the
board until his appointment as
Secretary Of State. He has given
many years Of study to the complex
problem of wOrkingmen's accident
compensation. He resigned as Sec
retary of State last December and
was succeeded by Walter Dent

GOV. BUCK TO
FILL VACANCY
ONSTATEBENCH
Senate Will Be Called To
Confirm; Election In
Kent May Be Necessary.
TO SEEK OPINION

Governor Buck is empowered to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Resident Judge David Reinhardt,
for a fun term Of IL years, under the
provisions of the State Constitution,
subject to the confirmation of the
State Senate.
An extraordinary session Of the
Senate will have to be called by
Governor Buck within the next 80
days 70 provide for the conhrma7
ton.
One of the problems which will
confront State officials is the ques-
tion of whether or not a special
election will be required in the
Third Senatorial District of Kent
county, due to the recent death of
Senator Frank C. Bancroft, Demo-
crat, of Wyoming. A legal opinion
will probably have to be sought in
connection with this question.
Should a special election be nee
essary in this district, the present
registration books will have to be
employed and special registration
will be held for new voters. Under
the four-year registration law, the
new registrations are not effective
until 1886.
Constitution Provision
The provisions in connection with
the filing Of the vacancy are con-
tanned in Section 8 of Article 4 of
the Constitution, which says, in
