REV. E. R. REIN
GIVEN HEARING
LAST WEDNESDAY
Case Grows Out Of Reported In
timacies Between Him And
An Orphanage Girl

Rev. E. R. Rein, former pastor of
Pitts Creek Presbyterian Church, this
city, was given a hearing on Wednes
day in the Delaware County Court,
Media, Pa, in the matter of a request
made by A. B. Geary, attorney, that
the court should hold the minister in
bond 'to keep him in good behavior"
This action was the result of story
told by Hazel P. Nelson, a 20-year old
crphanage girl, in which she revealed
certain intimacies that had taken
place between her and Mr.. Rein, none
of which, however, appeared as GRIM
inal.
The case had previously been re-
viewed by the ruling boards of the
church Mr.. Rein serves, and these had
exonerated the clergyman, evidently
adhering to his claim that the whole
affair wa a frame-up. Mr.. Rein will
probably testify in the case.
Several members of Mr.. Rein's con-
gregation when he was pastor here,
were present at the hearing, summon
ed, so it is said, as character witness
es. The minister's character, while in
this city was above reproach, and his
friends and Pensioners are trusting
he will set his enemies at nought in
the current proceedings.

If anybody should happen to tell
you, we're having dry time, you can
set it down he's telling the truth if
he never told it before. I don't know
but what some of my good prohibi-
tionists are suited just little too
we'll by these arid conditions.
Seriously, tho this drought is get

life is being scared until whole crops

Strawberries and tomatoes are suffer

would be welcome. 1t would hold out
a little hope.
And then, when at last Nature does
decide to pour out it's floods-they
may be floods indeed. 1t looks as If
there were being stored away in secret
places hordes of electric power, which
might be ignited and wreak terrible
havoc. But this is pessimism. Let

You know, these anagrams which
have been started in the Democrat"
have started people on new line OF
thought. They're trying to wiggle
some word out of their own name.
Believe me, if they've had as much
trouble as I've had over it, since a
correspondent started it going, they'll
get woozy.
One of my good friends told me the
other day, he and his family tried to
make something out of his moniker
the other day, and failed. When |
showed him very common word he
said: "Well' I'll be d-oggoned." And
DO you know some of these people
don't like the words that come out OF
their names, much. I'm not goin' to
mention anybody in particular; but
one told me he didn't feel very much
complimented to have the public know
there was such a word in his name.
Like that fellow whose name was
Massey" Make it Messy plus an
"A", and you got him. Now I don't
mean any messy Massey in Pocomoke;
So, Stree! this fellow lived somewhere
in a neck of woods done in Dun
Swamp, That's the reason he got
huffy. Somebody told him about it.
But he's been so long down there, I'm
not scared he'll get up here before he
forgets it.

TUGWELL SENDS RELIEF CHECKS
TO THOSE NOT NEEDING RELIEF
Astonishing Situation Uncovered In Wyoming By
Senator Robert d. Carey

Harry Hopkins, the head Of the
WPA. proceeds on the theory that
the government should take from
those who have and give to those
who have not.
Professor Rex Tugwell, Resettle-
ment Administrator, goes Hopkins
one better. He would take from any
available source and give alike to
those who have as well as to those
who have not.
Proof Of this came to light In Wy
Oming, where Senator Robert d.
Carey uncovered a situation which
he believes is a proper subject for
congressional investigation. The
Senator was probing into the dis
tribution of relief funds shortly be-
fore Christmas. when he discovered
number of instances where relief
checks had been sent to those who
had not applied and who were not
in need of relief.
Il know that many who received
relief checks shortly before Christ
mas we're in need and am glad that
funds were available to assist
them" said Senator Carey. "on the
other hand, know Of others who
received checks who had not APP
piled for relief and who could not
understand why these checks were
sent to them" Senator Carey could
not understand why money appro-
priated for relief should have been
sent to those not in need Of it.
AS he probed deeper, Senator Car
ey found news release issued by
Robert Clarkson, regional rehabili- /
tation chief, IN which he said, dis
tribution Of $4,000 by the Resettle-
ment Administration this week gave
! new meaning to the Christmas sea

Mr.. Clarks0n, according to Sena-
tor Carey, stated that many Of these
checks went to families without
means to buy food and other neces-
stiles Of life, but that some Of the
families did not need money"
please note" observed Senator
Carey "that Mr.. Clarkson says
Some families. however, did not
need money If these people, as Mr..
ClarksOn says, we're not in need Of
financial assistance. why we're
checks mailed them? Is this gov
eminent so rich or are relief funds
so ample that We have money to
give people who do not need 1t or

Il have reason 10 believe that
what has happened in Wyoming has
happened in other states, that they

money before Christmas and that
there was not sufficient time to IL

In THE INTEREST
OF THE FARMER

Does mass purchasing and dis
tributing of foods work to the adj
vantage of the producers of the ma
ton? Recent statistics indicate that
the farmer reaps a rich harvest when
large scale methods are applied to
merchandising
A survey of 1880 chain grocery
stores, representing 25 per cent of
4, the entire industry, shows that fruit
and vegetable sales came to 1881
per cent of total sales i'm 1898. Ap-
plying this ratio to all chain grocery
and combination stores, il means that
fruit and vegetable sales through the
chains aggregate almost $3.50, 0O0, 900.
And this does not take into ac-
count the sales of the independent
stores which have banded together
in large buying groups, and which
operate largely ON the chain-stOre
principle. These stores, as well as
the chains. have made noteworthy
success in pushing the products
Of the farm.
Big merchandising system, chain
or Independent, are extremely pro-
gressive in developing better sales
and display methods. They aren't
satisfied to simply let products sit
on shelves where the customer may
find them il he looks hard enough
they bring them out where they can
not help but meet the ranging eye
Of the buyer. To keep the customer
informed on what to buy. they make
wide use of newspaper advertising
the best Of all mediums for stimu-
latiHg sales.
The result is lower prices to the
cOnsumer-and a wider. more stable
and more profitable market for the
producer.
