Dover Declares a Holiday for
Major BoWeS' Show

For the first time the folks in
lower Delaware and Maryland will
be able to see and hear Major
Bowes' Amateurs who are appear
ing on the stage at the Capital
Theatre, Dover, on Friday and Sat
urday, December 20 and 21. All
the world is familiar with the good
work done by Major Bowes in MAX
ing successes of people in the
amusement world who otherwise
would never be heard of. You are
of course familiar with the famous
program which comes over the air
every Sunday evening and now you
have the chance to see just what
these people are like. Off instance

doesn't require as much intelli-
gence to do rural work as it does
to do the complicated work of the
city. The average city graduate
must continue his education to Sc
cure a good living. The unskilled
class of people can't live as they
should. Most of the work that is
being carried on is by the skilled
laborer who has gone to some
school of higher learning to COM
plete his education.

Advantages of Country Life

Any person should be proud to
say that he was brought up on
farm. He knows what work means
and understands how to meet hard
ships. A majority of the students
today who succeed in life are from
the country. Of course this is not
always true Fresh air and sun
shine make the body strong for
life's work. People living in the
city think agricultural work is
drudgery but farmers term it use
full knowledge. This is because it
makes practical men and women
out of their children. Farm work
requires coordination of mind and
body. A farm is challenge to
persons whole life; it requires his
best thought, his every care.

Why Obey Government

By government we mean the rul-
ing of the people by certain officials
and law-making bodies under the
state. 1t is by the government that
the supreme desires of the people
are expressed. Therefore five
thousand people may act through
one man.
The question that arises is, why
should people obey a government +?
No individual is free to disobey the
laws or to remain outside of the
control of some government.
Two theories have been offered
to justify this fact. The theory of
divine right was bestowed upon
the rulers of the early times by the
Creator. The other theory is gov
ernment by the consent of the peo-
! pie, which puts them under obliga-
+ tion to obey the law. They cannot
rule without being ruled. A gov
ernment is established by the peo-
/ pie for their own good and pros
perity. Thus receiving benefits
from it, they should be willing in
return to submit their obedience,
pay taxes, and do whatever else
the government requires.
A government could not serve
its purpose if every one was free
to do as he pleased. So people
obey government because it is the
only way of securing health, safety,
prosperity and other conveniences
derived from it.

manned with the show, travelling
with it all over this country and
Europe, making friends and win
ming loyalties that endured
throughout her life. Record after
record fell before her unerring
craftsmanship, and she became
acknowledged champion of the
world.
One Of her feats was the break
ing of six glass balls thrown in
the air at the same time, and in
another she would shoot a coin
held between her husbands
thumb and forefinger, at a dis
tence of about 80 yards. She
would split a playing card, its
edge turned toward her. She
would shoot six holes in a card
thrown in the air before it struck
the ground, and she would break
