FORMULA FOR FARM SUCCESS

"If we are going to build an organ
ization such as we would like to
see," said the manager of a dairy
cooperative recently. 1--WE must find
some way to make every member
think and talk about the cooperative
the way he does about his farm. his
automobile and his livestock. This
can be brought about by bringing
more of the problems direct to the
members to get their advice and
counsel in local meetings. Let us
learn to talk about our cooperative
and other farm organizations as
part owners-and proud of tin
stead of intimating that these organ
izations belong to the boards of di-
rectors or the MANAGERS. We must
build around principle. and not
around men,"
1t would be hard to find a better
general formula for farm success
than this. The successful farm CO.
operatives. situated in every part of
the country, dealing in every import
ant farm crop-are the co-ops whose
members take an intensive. continu-
GUS and personal interest in organ
ization affairs. Once members lose
interest, or come to feel that they
are of no Importance to the organ
ization, failure becomes inevitable.

the employers would have to pay a
fiat per cent of this to the federal
government the first year, or $407,-
1892.
But the federal government al
lows an exemption on this two per
cent of the amount paid into the
/ State fund up to 80 per cent of the
amount that would be paid to the
federal government. Delaware en-
ployers get the full exemption. Thus
on the figures used in the estimates
they would pay s4O.77S to the fed
eral government the first year.
Second Year
The second year, and each year
thereafter, when the federal rate is
3 per cent and the State rate 81 per
cent, their federal tax would amount
to $611.784, but the exemption
would cut this to $61,178.
The total estimated payroll of all
Delaware employers who will have
to contribute to the State fund is
broken down by Mr.. Guerke four
ways as follows:
Manufacturers, 2O,93O employees,
$21, 1,972,0 payrolls; retail estab-
lishments, 1857 employees, $9.200,-
400 payrolls; wholesale establish
ments, 1898 employees, s3,692.700 |
payrolls; service establishments, |
1 .O97 employees. $9OS.6OO payrolls.
The total is $35,773.795 for payrolls.
Latest Figures Used
Mr.. Guerke emphasized that the
figures are estimates. But they are
based on the latest available census
data and are carefully weighed to
make allowances for advances in the
number of employees and in the
amounts of payrolls.
The figures for manufacturers are
based on the 1888 census corrected
I'D to date, and those on the other
branches on the 1885 census reports
as weighed.
The weighing was done on this
basis: That the number of employees
has increased 90 per cent since the
census, and that payrolls have in
creased 80 per cent in manufactur-
ng, while in retail and Wholesale
and in the service
rades. the number of employees has
increased per cent and paylOlls. 10

Things One Remembers

In these days when practically
every town, city, state and millions
of individuals have their hands out
for public funds, 1t has become real

that is financed without expense to
the taxpayer.

Gated new community hospital
without the aid of public funds. The
hospital was made possible by the
legacy of Jerome Morley. a pioneer
resident. plus donations of other
citizens.
In the dedicatory address. Cover
nor Charles H. Martin (DemocraU.

mir. Morley represents that fine
type of American citizen who made
his own way through life and did not
expect to live off the government. II
is refreshing in this day and age of

AFTER YOU, KIT CARSON

1t has been truly said that "the
American railroads are internation-
ally recognized as the most reliable
and progressive transportation sys-
tenn in the world" And SO closely is
their historical growth and develop
ment interviewer with that of the
nation that the glamorous story of
one cannot accurately be told with
out the other. Wherever the hardest
of settlers dared venture, the sec
tion gang soon followed. Faint and
tortuous paths of the covered wag-
ons were graded and spiked with
steel rails, forever marking the way
of the immigrants. The job of span
ming the Rocky Mountains, backbone
of America, and other far western
ranges. presented appalling obsta-
cles, all of which were finally over
come.
Today Florida grapefruit and Cal
ifornia oranges may be enjoyed with
equal relish in the dead of winter,

available for loading wherever and
whenever freight is ready to move.
In times of national emergency
he railroads must be ready to serve
and at a moments notice.
During recent foods in the Middle
Vest the railroads rendered invalu-
lble aid to the sufferers, and during
he great droughts of 1884 and 1895,
he railroads moved livestock out of

hus saving millions of dollars
worth of cattle and preventing a
erious beef shortage.
Few appreciate the amazing work

Teach Then, Hol0

The most dangerous group of driv-
ers. according to statistics, is the
group which ought to be the safest:
The so-called "teen-age" class. When
a person of eighteen or younger has
an accident IL is almost always a
serious one. II is AZ per cent more
likely to be fatal than IL an older
driver we're involved.
In the opinion of authorities, the
chief difficulty is that young people
who drive cars lack both training
and judgment. They have had no
formal instruction behind the wheel.
Usually they learn to drive by
watching older persons or a young
companion. In this way they learn
bad practices along with good ones,
and, being young. they are apt to
exaggerate the bad and minimize
the good. AS one bad apple contain
mates a barrel. one poor driver can
create dozens of worse ones IL he

been engaged in work which made
his association with Federal,
county and city organizations OBJ

time for the study Of the various
problems presented.
Discussing his candidacy, Mr..
Saunders said that these associa-
tions and the various contacts
made necessary. has enabled him
to secure a fund Of information
which viii enable him to handle
the various matters brought to his
attention, in the best interests of
the city and to the satisfaction of
those who win support him in his
race. He solicits the support of
the voters.

flew years, We have been the
great question mark in interna-
ltional affairs-we have moved
slowly, said little and have kept
aloof from participation in world
events.
The Presidents attitude, rough
| " described, is that we could not
escape being involved in major
war, that we must therefore CO.
operate to prevent war. He gave
approval to American cooperation
with the League of Nations
which, significantly, is summed
by Germany. Italy and Japan. Out
of this has come the belief that in
1.-THE immediate future the world
will be divided into two camps
the democracies and the Dictator
ships. On the side of the de-
mocracies there will also be the
only dictatorship which is econom-
ically self-sufficient Russia.
The strength of an alliance
between the democracies and the
u. S. S. r. is impossible to exag-
gerate. From either the eco
nonaic or military standpoint.
they are immensely superior to
the relationships. Japan, Italy
and Germany must import tre-
mendous quantities of the basic
commodities in order to exist.
They must export their own spe-
cialities. such as silk and olive oil
and wine, in order to obtain for
eign credits. Close the worlds
markets to them, and at the same
time forbid them to buy in the
democracies. and they would be
ruined. And. should they elect
to fight, every recognized mill
tary expert IS certain that they
would be doomed TO quick and
crushing defeat. The Z. s. and
England have the greatest navies
afIoat. Russia has the largest and
best equipped standing army in the
world. The dictatorships have
nothing to match these ins9ru-
ments Of force.
The Presidents address has al

in this country its war in China.
