THR JRFFERSON MICHEL

The U. S. Treasury informs the
country that a new nickel coin will
soon be designed, to take the place OF
the present buffalo nickel. Some
will perhaps be sorry to see the old
coin go. The powerful old buffalo
raising its bumped back on one side,
and the forceful Indian face adorn-
ing the other, told Of a day when
the pioneers had to fight for their
lives and struggle for their food.
The country will be glad to honor
Thomas Jefferson, famous author Of
the Declaration of independence,
whose ideas have had a big share in
shaping the life of the country. His
eloquent language in that declaration
had much to do with convincing the
people that the time had come to
separate themselves from the king.
1t rang like a trumpet call through
the American colonies, bidding them
build their own government and
create new institutions for human
welfare.
Jefferson was passionately devoted
to two great principles, the rights of
state sovereignty and faith in the
wisdom and virtue of the common
people. He would be heartily in
sympathy with every truly liberal
of today. but would view
with some alarm the present con-
of power in the federal
government.
The coins and paper money of |
The present day show the faces Of the |
great men who built our republic. |
Their views differed. sometimes they |
we're right. and sometimes wrong.
But they approached their great |
asks in a noble unselhshness. They
lid no grasping for themselves, but
we're anxious only to create human
Welfare. If we could be inspired to
,etter citizenship every time we
hall look at a Jefferson nickel or a
dollar bill, the money
would accomplish more than buying
he articles Of daily life.

CONSTRUCTION BOOM NEEDED

Ihe american people seem to need
several million new houses or apart
ments. They do not build them,
because the income of the average
family does not seem sufficient to
pay the cost of building the home
the average family wants. How
solve this difficulty?
l. People might move out into
country towns where building costs
are usually less. Not so many can
do this unless the factories that
employ them should move too. AS
it costs less to live in country towns,
there may be some tendency to do
that.
2.-The costs of building might be
reduced. That would stimulate
construction boom. Apparently the
only way to accomplish that would
be to guarantee workers regular pay
for at least a year. in which case
many of them might be willing to
put up houses for elss money.
3.-A large reduction in taxes
could make building cheaper. Any
one who can see the way to do that
will qualify as a national hero.
A great increase in national
prosperity, so that families can have
the nice and ample homes they de-
sire. Perhaps if people would give
up trying to get something for moth
ing, and if all would work for the
general welfare, this could be done.
Il calls for changes in our national
habits.
5.-The solution many families may
choose as the best in sight, is to
build or buy quite small house.
The family that wants a six-room
house but can't afford it, may have
to put up with one of three or four
rooms.
Many people in great cities live in
one room, two rooms, or three rooms,
and are happy. They may feel it is a
cramped life if they have children,
but if people are good tempered they
can be contented. Give the children
a good back yard, and they won't
mind the lack of space.

GREAT TINE TO BUY

The closing weeks Of winter are
one of the best buying periods of the
year. The merchants are closing
out stocks, and willing to take large
reductions to move them. A family
can largely reduce its cost OF living,
by examining its needs for the COM
ing year, and buying now. Better
watch the newspaper advertising for
the many opportunities it offers.
A dollar will probably go farther
now than it will for any time for the
next year. It will seem rather poor
judgment to pay high prices next
summer or next fall, when so many
things can bet had for low figures
now.

THE WORLD GOING BACKwARD9

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, veteran
woman suffrage leader, recently said
she did not fear the world would go
Fascist. 1.-The race does not go back
ward for long," she said.
The human race fought for CEN
turtles to establish the principles of
democracy. Millions of soldiers per-
ished in battle for that ideal. Now
some governments say democracy is
no good, it does not produce human
welfare, and we must order the peo-
pie around by some dictatorship. 1t
seems incredible that the noble cause
of liberty, which we once thought es-
sential to progress, is thus in a num-
ber of countries swept into the dis
card. 1t is up to us here in America
to show how democracy can produce
so much human welfare, that other
nations will say it is at the founda-
tion of progress. and that all peo-
pies hmust cling to it.

@LITTLE FELLOW" IN BUSINESS

"LITTLE FELLOW" IN BUSINESS
President Roosevelt is said to have
received an enormous number of let
ters from the so-called small" busi-
ness men. Apparently the owners
and managers of many small con-
Germs have been giving him their
ideas about trade and employment.
These letters must contain a vast
amount of practical wisdom, from
which any statesman could learn
much.
The man who does business on a
small scale has a point of view
which is usually reasonable and fair.
If he has been making a living, he
understands the fundamental prin-
ciples that make business thrive
He comes closely in contact with the
people who work for him, and he
knows how to keep them satisfied.
He sees the public daily, so he
knows how business and govern
ment policies affect the average
family. 1t could be wished that ev-
cry business man of this type in
Delaware could write to the presi-
dent about these things.
What does the average small busi-
ness man say should be done to get
the unemployed millions to work?
He would probably be strong for the
following principles:
1.-The government must pay its
bills. Continual borrowing ruins
any business including that of gov
ernment.
2-Prices must be cut, as the only
way to stimulate business when
trade is slow.
3.-The destitute unemployed must
be aided. A rich country like this
can't allow anyone to go hungry.
4-If expenditures can't be cut
sufficiently to allow the government
to pay its bills, new taxes must be
levied.
5.-Labor must have a fair wage,
but it never pays labor to ask SO
much that the people can't AFFORD to
buy its product.
The small business man will say
his experience shows the above prin-
ciples produce prosperity.

PROGRAM OF THE DELAWARE
GAME AND FISH PROTECTIVE
ASSOCIATION

ASSIMILATION
We are convinced that successful
wildlife Protection, Conservation
! and Propagation are dependent upor
sportsmanship directed by organized
effort.
! We recognize the farmer as the
custodian of game birds and animals
and urge the sportsmen to respect
his trespass rights.
We advocate the coordination Of all
associations and clubs in Delaware
to the end that with their support,
better understanding may be had,
and more efficient results obtained
towards the conservation and restor-
alton of Delaware's Wildlife resour-
ces.
We appeal to all seekers of Della
wares great outdoors to cooperate
with the State Game Commission on
all matters pertaining to the we'll
being of its wildlife and to lend a
helping hand in the development of
wildlife refugees and public hunting
and fishing lands and waters.
We believe an educational course
in the public schools, aimed to teach
the younger generation the recrea-
tional. aesthetic. and economic value
of our natural resources, and the by
products thereof, is essential to the
common good. The early preparation
and introduction of textbook cover
ing these features should not be de-
layed.
We do not accept the premise that
the majority are necessarily right.
In point of fact, the thoughtful min
ority, after consideration of scientific
facts, particularly in cases where a
wildlife is at stake, are far more
likely to find a solution for the suc-
cessful perpetuation of the game
birds and animals in Delaware, with
advantages to all
other species of wildlife, including
and song birds. This
is so far the reason that few people
care to take the time to give consid-
Grafton to the other fellows sport
and the conservation of all species
of wildlife.
We urge a continuation of the
present policy of State ownership
and control of all wildlife enumer-
ated on the list of protected game
birds and animals in Delaware.
We endorse the proposed improve
ments at Indian River Inlet and urge
a speedy completion of the project.
AS soon as this inlet makes the river
open to the Atlantic
Ocean, it will, almost overnight, be-
gin to produce more hard and soft
crabs, terrapin, snapping-turtle, fish
and waterfowl. Indian River has
produced oysters in the past and will
probably do so again. 1t will provide
a shipping outlet for thesaToHnding
territory Immediately after the pro-
ject is completed.
We suggest that the proper State
department make systematic sur
yey of Delaware's wildlife resources
in order to determine whether or not
their total value as revenue pro-
iucers justifies additional effort to
conserve and advertise them.
We favor the vigorous enforcement
If all laws to protect, conserve and
wildlife.
Pursuant to the foregoing object
YES, we propose to cooperate with
State. Federal and National conser-
-ation agencies.

SODIUM NITRATE USES DE-
SCRIBED IN NEW PUBLICATION
Sodium nitrate should be applied
early in the spring to crops that need
prompt early start, according to
circular 436 production and Agri-
cultural use of Sodium Nitrate" re-
Gently issued by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Crops that are
to be eaten raw or used as salads,
such as lettuce, early cabbage. spin
ach, kale and early tomatoes, are
benefited by early applications Of
sodium nitrate, as it induces rapid
growth which insures succulence.
Copies of this publication may be
had by writing my office.
o.
FERTILE HENS EGGS IDENTI-
FIED-Fertile and infertile hens
eggs can be identified with a high
degree of accuracy after the eggs
have been incubated from IA to 30
hours. The method of determining
fertile and infertile eggs is rela-
lively simple and may be done by the
average hatcheryman after a few
hours practice. All the equipment
needed is an ordinary egg candler
with a 75-watt bulb. The embryos
that can be seen at these ages con-
tain no blood, cover an area on the |
yolk about the size Of a dime, and /
appear before the candler as small |
spot. This effect is caused by |
slight bulge of the embrya on the |
surface of the yolk. Such eggs are |
known as heated eggs" in CONNER
cial Gambling. In the infertile eggs
no development can be seen.
o.
SOCIAL SECURITY CARD DUPLI-
CATES-Wage earners who have
lost their Social Security Account
cards may now obtain dupli-
Gates from field offices of the Social
Security Board. Field offices are To-
Gated in 1923 key cities. Formerly
duplicates of account number cards
issued in connection with federal
old-age insurance program, could be
obtained only from Washington.
o.
FEDERAL EDUCATION PLAN
To bring about active cooperation be-
tween educators and broadcasters.
The Federal Communications Com
mission two years ago created fed
sral radio education committee. An
script exchange has been
set up by the committee which has
distributed, so far, to institutions
md individuals 10000 copies of the
10 radio scripts now available, as
we'll as 1900 radio manuals and
ylossaries that aids production. Any
yroups or individuals desiring
Icripts for production purposes

LIVING WITH0uT sLREp

Six University OF Georgia students
who recently as a scientific expert
ment went without sleep for lOC
hours, were pronounced at the close
Of the test to be in good health. This
experiment should comfort some
people who feel very much disturbed
If they occasionally lie awake two
or three hours, and feel as il their
health was seriously threatened by
insomnia.
Probably some young people who
love to sit up late nights will claim
such loss Of sleep does them no
harm.
Many authorities say human be-
ings need eight hours Of sleep, but
there are many who fail to get it.
People keep staying up late for
various reasons. There are many
societies and clubs whose activities
run far into the night, and then the
members love to sit around and swap
their stories.
To many people the hours OF night
are more fascinating than those of
daylight. They think that during
the daytime people are oppressed by
the weight of care, so they are not
very good company. At night they
throw on their troubles and feel the
play spirit, and talk with a freedom
that makes life interesting.
While people, particularly during |
youth, may be able to stand loss of
sleep for considerable periods, it is
hard to believe that it does not have
i'll effects il 1t becomes a habit. Ma
chimes wear out If constantly oper-
ated. The human body, the worlds
most complicated organism, seems
subject to the same law.
People who suffer with real in
ask what they can do about
it. They have counted the sheep
going over the stile, and tried all
the other traditional remedies. Per-
haps a good vigorous walk just be-
fore bedtime would do as much as
to convince the tired nerves
that they would better stop working.
and forget all for a few hours.

MAYORS ENDORSEMENT

Citizens of Libby are being asked
to make their annual purchase of
Christmas Seals to aid in answering
the challenge of tuberculosis to
health, happiness and life, and | am
sure they will respond in measure
commensurate with the high value
of the service thereby performed.
For 81 years the Christmas Seal
Sales have continued and with
marked appreciation and progress
| hope that the generosity of our
people will permit extension and en-
largement of the crusade against the
Great White Plague, and aid in the
intelligent direction of the warfare
that mankind has SO long been wag
ing in the effort to eradicate tuber-
cu1osis. | wish also to call your at
tention to the fact that this is the
first time in nine years that Mon
tana's death rate from tuberculosis
has shown an increase over the
previous years figures; in 1886 there
were 220 deaths; in 1887 the figures
rose to 235, an ominous note of
warning that Seal Sale dollars are
needed more than ever before to
continue the fight against euber-
culosis.
