to know and honor him. He was a
relative of the late William S. Dick
inson, and thereby connected with the
descendants of the local Dickinson
family.
He chose the life of country ply
stefan, and the fact that he passed
his entire professional life in one
community is an evidence Of the val
ue the residents placed upon him as
man and as a practitioner. The life
of a rural physician is not an easy
one, but DR.. Dickinson met all situa-
tions as they came with bravery, Sue
cess, and honor. No man could have
mingled and worked so long in one
section, seeing nearly three genera
lions live and die, without having the
confidence of his fellow-man in gen.
eral, and the love and respect of those
who were favored by an intimate
knowledge of the man as he really
was.
The editor Of the Democrat" had
known the deceased for many years.
He recognized the loss sustained by
a beloved widow and daughter, and
to these, he offers his sincere SYM
pathy and coincidence.

MEETING CALLED TO

since it is universally believed the ter
ritory is one of the best in the Shore
circuit.
But Mr.. Ehlers was said to have re-
fused to sell. altho' ne, according to
reports, was offered a price he was
quoted as being willing to deal. Sew
eral times, conferences have been held
with him as to a purchase, some Of
these being attended by President
Russell, the Leagues head.
The situation now seems to reveal
the fact that the franchise can be
bought if the base ball enthusiasts
desire a continuance of the sport in
this city. Mr.. Ehlers has accepted
a position with the Baltimore Club,
and his duties there will prevent his
management of Class d ball organi-
cation.
In order to test the sentiment of the
people here, there will be a meeting
in the Municipal Building on Monday
evening next at o'clock to which all
are invited. The interest manifested
at this meeting will definitely settle
the question of 1910 base ball here
If the fans want it, Monday will be
the time to say so; if it is not wanted
that evening will also settle it. Every
body should take this opportunity I'd
say yes or no.

| famed for their vitamin potency
than Vitamin A, yet they are rich
enough in the latter element to be
! considered "a good source in bringing
the vision back to normal and in aid
ing the eyes to become adapted speed
lily to a dim light. 1t seems TO be a
well established fact that the retina
of the eye is soon affected when the
human system suffers from the abb
sence of Vitamin A. The retina OF
the eye receives the image formed by
the lens, which is the immediate in
strument of sight. and connected to
the brain by the optic nerve. Side

Vitamin A deficiency This is the
ability to see objects in daylight far
to each side while the eye is focused
straight ahead. although not so clear
ly.
The sensitive eye is soon affected
by the loss of bodily stores of Vita
min A. Government tests show that
one subject required ten times as
much light as normal TO see in dim
light at the end of SO days on a diet
deficient in Vitamin A, and that this
same subject required ten thousand
times as much light at the end of 43
days.
Apparently Vitamin A furnishes
the remedies if one eats oranges and
drinks plenty of juice.
Government researches indicate
that persons who do night driving
and experience unusual discomfort
at approaching headlights may be
victims of Vitamin A deficiency with
out realizing it. themselves. Addi-
tion of an amply supply of oranges
to the diet will do much to correct
this condition. Eggs. butter, cod-liver

NEW HORIZONS

The rivers were the highways when
the early English kings sent expedi-
tions of discovery to Virginia. The
English king who came among us re-
Gently saw New Horizons.
At one time horses blazed the
trails through the wilderness and
then Ohio and Mississippi river steam
boats set up competition. Then the
iron horse snorted triumphantlv
across hills, valleys and. plains. This
century, only 80 years old, has wit
messed the victory of automobiles
over dirt roads.
City streets were first in extending
surfaced highways, and then cOntin-
entail trunk lines were planned. Two
Presidents of the United States
Taft and Wilson-helped to boom the
"Lincoln Highway" They foresaw
new horizons.
Thus history repeated the old. old
story, as new eras in the progress of
civilization parallelled the widened
lange of transportation.
The sea, as though jealous, Joined
in the new era of progress, and fur
nished new, faster and better ships
for commerce and travel. National
ard international horizons were
heightened and spread-and the Uni
ted States supplied the best autOmO-
biles made and sold them in every
country in the world. The American
Horizon was wideneG.
The old, old dream of a man who
could fly also came true, and air
planes blazed fresh routes of pro-
eress through mystic horizons of the
clouds and skies. The automobile
companies led the way in manufac-
turing these planes.
1t seems perfectly natural to watch
ever the economic health OF trans
portation, and today its varied
branches indicate that they are all
doing pretty well. Alfred p. Sloan.
Jr., says that progress in transpor-
tation-the reduction of distance in
terms of time and costs--is, in a
larger sense, only a symbol OF eX-
pended horizons in every field OF ac-
tiYity." No one is better qualified
TO amplify the subject. Transporta-
tion progress. he says, stands for "a
symbol of the opportunities that
have been created by the capitaliza-
ton of chronological progress and is
indicative of the. future contribution |
of science and industrial research"
Thus, we find that ''hew oppOrtuni- !
ties have everywhere followed the |
of new and better means
of moving goods and people" so that
the products of every state in the
union are speedily collected at far
away points and assembled in the |
machines produced by American gen
ius and enterprise.

INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT

Sister Republics of Latin-America
are asking the Government OF the
| United States for indirect loans to
finance trade relations with the bus
mess interests of our own country.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said in fulsome praise of good
neighbors the Pan-Americas have
withdrawn practically half of the
former business they did with the
United States, and large part OF II
has been transferred to Europe. Ar
gentina has frankly told the United
States that il will not accept our
trade arrangements. Mexico has
been at the top of all lists receiv-
ing preferential treatment-and the
special privileges of invisible gov
ernment accorded to that country
make old-time secret diplomacy look
like a game of tiddlewinks.
Herbert HoOver's recent descrip-
tion of our domestic affSirs indicat-
ed that the Administration was hav-
ing a rendezvous with debt" The
illustration might have been ex-
tended to cover European war debts
and affairs relating TO GoOd-and-
Bad-NeighbOrs of Latin-America.
Many of them have defaulted on
their bonds and securities, held
largely by United States investors.
Whenever Mexico has agreed" to
pay anything back she has always
cOnfiscated new American proper
frnu nlI ha fnt tsraa
lands to sugar plantations and oil
properties.
Invisible government is a fact. not
a theory. 1t has been made a fact
through the many emergency and re-
lief acts. accompanied by special
grants of authority to the Admins
tratiOn by the Congress during the
past few years. The Administration
has charge of all the de-
tails i'm connection with what is
known as a more liberal monetary
policy i'm regard to Latin-America in |
a drive to stimulate trade. The news
about the EXpOrt-Import Bank indi-
Gates that it has the backing of the !
the State Department, the /
Treasury, and Jesse Jones' Recon- !
Finance Corporation. II
the old adage is true that money |
talks" we should be able to win a |
lot of good neighbors with the sys-
TENS employed in invisible govern
ment. However. past experiments |
that have brought regrets to Ameri-
can holders of securities and bonds
should not be forgotten at this time
when the Government proposes to
use the taxpayers money for new ex-
periments.
The main criticism about the
growth of invisible government is

that their vision is seriously affected

GIANT GIVE UP
BY Leila MHHSeH


teased big brother Bob.
Tommy loved to tackle a brand
new job, but very, very often he be-
came tired and gave up before real
ly finishing it. This morning he was
making a flower garden. Mother had
more verbena aud sweet alyssum
plants than she needed and she had
given him a little corner of the gar
den for his own and had shown him
how to set the plants out.
He planned to put the verbenas in
the center and make a border Of the
sweet alyssum. First, he made a
hole with the trowel, as he had seen
his mother do, then he poured in
some water, pressed the little plants
down tightly and drew the dry soil
on top.
1t was fun at first, but the sun
grew hot. and Tommy became tired.
'I'll finish tomorrow" he thought.
and he lay down on the grass under
tree and went to sleep. There bro
ther Bob found him and teased him
about Giant Give Up.
There isn't any Giant Give Up"
retorted Tommy.
But there is. See, he has your
plants already" Bob picked up a
bunch of the plants that Tommy had
thrown down in the sun. They're
dead"
Tommy ran to his mother and told
her what Bob had said. There isn't
any Giant Give Up, is there?"
Not the kind of giant that your
story book told about, TOmmy-not
the kind that carries off beautiful
ladies and little boys and shuts them
up in castles. Those are make-be-
lieve giants. But wonder If it would
help If we should make up a game
and call it Giant Give Up When
ever saw you giving up your job
before you had finished, I'd say;
Better look out. Giant Give Up will
get you And you'd throw back your
head and say, Giant Give Up shall
not get me-"
Tommy's eyes sparkled. "All
right. He shall not get my garden.
I'll put the other plants in right
now"
Mother picked up the wilted
plants. Bob was right; these will
never grow now. Giant Give Up has
them already"
Tommy began to cry. Il want my
flower garden!"
"You may have one yet. l have
some more extra plants, and I'll help
you put them out this evening. Max
ing a whole flower garden is a pref
ty big job for one small boy"
Tommy was quite proud when the
garden was done. you'll have to
water it every day" said Mother,
''and keep the weeds pulled, or Giant
Give Up will get it yet"
Giant Give Up shall not get it"
said Tommy.
All summer he played the game.
Often he became tired but when
Mother warned: Look out! There's
Giant Give Up!" he'd shout: HE
snail not get me! anu 80 pdch ~
work. And such a lovely garden as
he had!
Giant Give Up is a good game, pro-
piding, of course, that it is kept a
camel and played with these prin-
,iples in mind:
Do not set the child. or let him set
'or himself, a task that is beyond
lis ability.
If, occasionally, he gets discour-
lged, help him, but do it as incOn-
ipicuOusly as possible.
Never miss an opportunity OF
,ointing out the value of the game.
Tommy was led to understand
dearly that his lovely garden would
lever have existed if he had not
,layed fair and square game.

BUSY DAYS IN LATN.AMERICA


Political refugees from Spain are
seeking new homes in Latin-Ameri-
can countries and receiving friendly
signs of welcome in the Argentine
Mexico and several other Republics.
II The United States has accepted
Brazil as an economic partner, and
Will furnish financial backing to that
country. The same opportunities are
open to other Latin-American Re
pnblics that choose to tie up with the
United States Government.
Admiral William d. Leahy, Chief
of Naval Operations, has expressed
an opinion that has the backing of
the Navy and the Administration. It
is in defense of President ROese-
velt's Good Neighbor Policy, to pro-
tect and preserve traditional Ameri-
can institutions against amy and all
aggressOrs." With democracy uhder
attack, and our own democracy
about as sassy as any of them, the
importance of this statement cannot
be oVer-rated.
History teaches us that lack of
adequate means to support rational
policies and back up our diplomatic
representation has been a contribu-
ting factor in this Nations becoming
involved in two major wars" declar-
ed Admiral Leahy while stressing
the modern application" of the
Monroe Doctrine in the administra-
tiOn of the good neighbor policy"
toward the American Republics, and
Mr.. ROosevelt's warnings to the
world that the United States con- I
siders the entire Western Hemis-
phere as an American defense from
tier.
Admiral Leahy has done very well
in calling attention to the need of
support for national policies" and
more particular ythOse that back
up our diplomatic representations"
His positive declarations revive Sec !
retary Hull's statement in which the
latter coupled together human
rights and property rights" That
was after the gOod-fellowship ges- (
lures at Lima when the Monroe Doc
trine was ON parade as an exhibit OF
what the Latin-American Republics
might expect in the way of prOtec-
tion from the big neighbor of the
North. There was an absence of dis
cussion at Lima about what the
other 90 Republics would do to meet
the gestures for solidarity in Pan
America.
Another circumstance in cOnnec-
tion with busy days in Latin-Ameri-
ca attaches a great deal of suspicion
to the mysterious movements sur
the modern yacht Vita, fly
ing the American flag in Mexican
waters. The trim craft was manned
by a Spanish crew, but it carried
and unloaded cargo of 160 packing
cases and transferred them to an ar
mOred baggage car. This seems to
have been accepted by the people
who saw it, and the newspapers that
reported it, to have been shipment
Of gold smuggled out of Spain, and
the general belief that this was
forerunner of a large influx of Span
ards into Mexico was strengthened
by the fact that top officials of the :
Mexican Government welcomed the
first of the refugeeslOf the defeated
Spanish Government.
United States diplomacy is chal-
enged by all these striking events. /
with busy days in Latin

md assertive policy by this Govern
nent in handling its relations with
