STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Slow Down Where Children
Are Playing in the
Street
WARNING TO MOTORISTS

Could you ever forgive yourself
if your car struck and injured a
little girl or boy, perhaps crushing
out his or her life? According to
the Delaware Safety Council, when
children are busy playing they sell
dom think of the dangers of traffic.
What boy or girl, bubbling over
with high spirits, but having no
safe place to play, will stay on the
sidewalk when there is fun to be
had in the street or across the
way? Even when children seem
to be safe on the sidewalk they
may dart into the street at any
moment. A rolling ball is a sure
sign that some child will run after
perhaps directly in front of
your car. You may lose a few
seconds by anticipating such ac-
tions, but you won't lose as much
time as the man who hits a child.
The few seconds required to slow
down may save you untold grief
and anguish. In one year, about
4, 500 boys and girls under Is years
of age We're killed in automobile
accidents and early 10000 were
injured many crippled for life.
Adult pedestrians also may create
dangerous situations for the mo-
torist. Some thoughtlessly step

HESSER

Miss Elizabeth Thompson Myers

Hesser in the Park Avenue Meth
odist Episcopal Church, of Phila-
delphia, on Wednesday evening,
April IL, at 7.30 o'clock. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
H. S. Thompson, assisted by Rev
S. L. Gracy, ID. D., both uncles to
the bride. The church was beauti-
fully decorated with flowers, and
filled with a bright and happy
company of friends. The ushers
were Messrs. Frank Mcdonald, It.
II. Bird, Clarence Stokes, John F.
Huneker, II. Egglesfeld Griffith
and Edward Milligan. The bride
wore ivory white duches satin, en-
train, trimmed with duchess lace,
and carried large boquet of white
roses and lilies Of the valley, ard
/ entered the church on the arm of
her father, William II. Myers, pre-
ceeded by Miss Bessie Jordan, as
maid of honor. They were met at
the altar by the groom and his
best man, J. a. Abbott Mcguire.
As the bridal party entered the
church the Mendelssohn Club, Of
which the bride is a member, sang,

from 'Iohengrin." After the cere-
mony, reception was given at the
residence of the brides parents No

caught in the middle of the street
when the light changes.
The considerate driver always
gives pedestrians a chance. He
does not confuse them by blowing
his horn. He resists the impulse
to step on the gas the instant a
traffic light becomes green. He
recalls that some time or other he
too has been caught by a changing
light and extends the same court
esy to pedestrians that he expects
when he is afoot.

Farmers Pleased With Pea Crop

Farmers in this vicinity are
pleased with the appearance of the
factory pea crop which had been
threatened by the cold weather of
the past two weeks. The acreage
is much larger than for several
seasons past and unless the peas
are damaged by heavy rains at the
blossoming period the middle of
May, the crop should be profitable.

FRUIT REPORT
is PROMISING
Federal Crop Report AS of
April 1st Issued From
Washington
PEACH OUTLOOK FAIR

Fruit trees came through the
winter with little injury, but the
warm weather caused the trees to
bud or bloom unusually early, and
since the first Of April there has
been some unusually cold weather,
with freezing temperatures report
ed in central Texas and in Tennes-
see and with quite low tempera
lures in northern fruit belts. While
widespread damage to early fruits
has been reported, as in Illinois,
Tennessee, Missouri and Kansas.
the main fruit belts of the country
are thought to have escaped ser
ious injury SO far and the cold
weather has retarded development
This leaves fruit prospects some
where around average for this time
of year, with a fairly good set of
peaches reportd in the 10 early
southern peach States, citrus trees
doing well, and apples showing no
extensive injury as yet.
Taking the country as a whole,
farmers are starting the season
with near-record reserves of feed
grain and considerable roughage
on hand and with rather low but
increasing numbers of livestock
and poultry.
The uniformly mild weather of
/ a ~1E oil rTl1rr s1rlyra HI.
mild and open winter in the coun-
| try as a whole brought grass and
winter grain crops through the
winter with minimum damage and
gave them an earuy start. Much
of the late-sown wheat of the east
ern half of the country now looks
promising. In the main winter
wheat belt the above-normal rains
in the last few months have i'm
proved prospects generally. Con-
ditions as they were on April 1 in
dicated that a winter wheat crop
of about 726, 100000 bushels might
be expected This is nearly 10O,-
100000 bushels above expectations
last December.
The open winter, with grass
growing until late in the fall and
early in the spring, has enabled
farmers and ranchers to conserve
supplies of feed and forage. Over
wide areas the growth Of vegeta-
tion was reported to be two weeks
further advanced than usual on the
first Of April. Pastures and win
ter grains were reported greening
up as far north as New York, Min
nesota, and Montana and pastures
were furnishing considerable feed
in the southern half of the country.
The seeding Of spring grains has
been delayed by wet weather in
many States, but has progressed
rapidly where the soil could be
worked and was reported as large
ly completed during March even in
southeastern North Dakota. Milk
production showed the biggest
March increase in IA years or
more, and egg production per 100
hens continued above previous high
records fer the month. Vegetables
have been moving from one to
three weeks earlier than usual
from Atlantic and Gulf Coast Stat
es but paintings have been delayed
in some places on the Pacific
Coast.

William A. Devnish, after years
Of a fierce struggle, finally sue
cumbed on Monday evening to that
uncompromising enemy of its vic

been very unequal, standing up
against the wasting effects of the
disease as he did with great en-
ergy, yet he was incapacitated
much of the time from engaging in
business as he desired for the

gard of the people, and his wife
and two children have their SYM

The Political Mill
American Labor Party, Seeking to Prove Worth,
Hopes Lehman Will Need Its Votes II He Does Win

Ct candidates offered by the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans for presi-
dental and other high Office very
carefully before making up their
minds what to do.
In reply to q question whether
the American Labor party will sup
port President Roosevelt for a third
term, one Of the party members
said with a smile: 1--WE do not be-
lieve that Mr.. Roosevelt will be a
candidate for a third term" He
admitted, however, that if the Presi-
dent were candidate it would be
a logical and traditional thing for
the Labor party to go to his aid.
Its primary object in 1910 will be
to see that liberal and progressive
candidates are put forward by the
old major parties. There seems now
no intention on the part of the
Labor party in this State to offer
presidential candidate Of its own
In 1910. These Laborites are prac-
tical politicians. and 1t would be
exceedingly difficult for them to
make real headway in such an un-
dertaking. Nor have they any in
clination at present to hook up with
any OF the third party movements
IN other States, as for example the
La Toilette Progressives in Wiscon-
sin or the Farmer.Labor party In
Minnesota. They are going it alone
Tor the time being anyway.
Candidates of Their Own.
To maintain the Labor party's
identity the Laborites have nomi-
mated candidates of their own for
some OF the places on the New York
State ticket, putting them forward
in competition with the Democratic
and Republican nominees for Of
nee. They have also entered can
didates of their own in several Of
the congressional districts for men,
bership in the House.
The Labor party professed itself
not satisfied with the Democratic
nominees for attorney general and
controller. So the Laborites brought
forward on their own ticket Joseph
V. OLeary for attorney general
against John J. Bennett, jr.. Demo-
crat. and Langdon w. Post for con-
troller against Morris s. Tremaine.
Democrat.
The Labor party has put forward
candidates OF its own for the House
In almost every congressional dis
trict or has Endorsed the Demo.
cratic or Republican nominees. In
combination with the Republicans
1T may succeed in retiring three
Democrats from the House in the
sixth, eighth and twentieth districts
BY nominating a candidate in the
seventeenth district the Labor party
has practically assured the re-elec-
ton OF Representative Bruce Bar
ton, Republican. And by putting
forward another candidate in the
nineteenth district the Laborites
have made Sol Bloom really fight for
reelection.
