The Olds was the first American
car manufactured in quantity. Cad
lilac and Buick were introduced in
1902-03; Chevrolet not until 1911.
Cadillac pioneered with the electric
self-starter in 1912. Most automo-
bile manufacturers now yield the use
of their patents to competitors un-
der plan of cooperation.
Inventions since the beginning of
this century have revolutionized
most of the conveniences and luxur-
ies round about you.
But we would fail to note memoir
able facts of history if we neglected
to record that the lightning rod
was invented by Benjamin Franklin
in 1752; the steamboat in 1877: the
cast-iron plow in 1897; the moving
machine in 1881; the telegraph in
1882; the harvester in 1886 and
the sewing machine in 1916.
Those patent laws that were men,
toned in our beginning have served
the nation and its people from the
days of Washington when "letterns
patent" protected the inventor in
the right to exclude all others from
using or selling his inven-
tiOn for II years. AS the machine
age advanced in later times, and
scientific research and invention
gave civilization new machinery and
devices, the laws have been changed
TO meet conditions, and to furnish
needful protection to their owners.
So. corporations. operating under an
old established system of law. are
now challenged in their rights to the ]
use of many patents that have con-
iributed to the progress of our peo- /
pie

RADIANT LIVING
MANS GREATEST QUEST
BY Rev. C. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely NJ. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

In an article on Travel as a Fine
Art" the author says that the more
one travels the more he becomes
convinced that the greatest of all
studies is the study of mankind.
While l am inclined to agree with
this statement, believe that the
study of God and how to attain the
most vital relationship with Him is
"a study that surpasses the study of
mankind.
For the greatest quest of man is
the quest for God.
In his much discussed book, "The
Return to Religion" DR.. Link says:
I'm a world of change and rebellion
to authority, God is the only fixed
point"
God is. in fact, the only secure
anchorage to which to tie up. He
is the only fixed point from which
to start. He is the only fixed point
to which to return.
Even the polar star around which
all other stars travel is not in itself
a fixed point. There is but one fixed
point for human consciousness and
that fixed point is God.
Perhaps this is the fact that was
basic in the mind of st. Augustine
when he uttered that statement that
has become classic: Our heart is
restless unless it repose in Thee
This was the experience of the
Psalmist who out of the hunger of
his heart for God. cried: las the
hart panteth after the water brooks.
so panteth my soul after thee, o
God"
The quest for God is the greatest
quest that man can make, for as we
come to know God we come to pos
sess life.

WHAT KIND-NOT HOW MUCH

A common question every man asks
himself is: How much life insurance
should l carry?"
A better question to ask would be:
What kind of life insurance should
l carry?"
In other words, the, character of
life insurance, rather than its mere
premium cost, is the big thing, 1t is
possible that man might spend two
hundred dollars a year for properly
planned insurance and be more ade-
quately protected than if he spent
twice as much for insurance acquired
on hit-and-miss basis.
That's where your insurance agent
comes in. He knows his business
he can survey your needs and pro-
pose a program custom-tailored to
fit you. His advice may, In time,
prove to be beyond price.

Ignoring Fundamental
Principles

The Panama Conference is vital
and timely. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped that it will further strengthen
the economic and cultural ties that
binds the Americas together, for
only thus can a true and lasting con-
tinental solidarity be attained.
The records of recent years have
shown that binding agreements
should be entered into only on the
basis of sound fundamental prin-
ciples which, over a long period of
time. will work to the mutual ad-
vantage of all signatory nations.
Thoughtful men agree that the
pressure of events in Europe should
not be permitted TO cause hasty or
iIl-advised action which, far from
advancing the long-term Objectives
desired by all, will actually work
to undermine cordial relationship
and lay the groundwork for future
discord.
If press reports are correct. it
looks as though the conference is
headed the wrong way. Easy money
is again in sight and the temptation
to take care of today's urgencies
without regard for the long-range
view is very strong, Our representa-
tives are reported as holding out
the bait for large loans through the
EXport-Import Bank, hoping thus
to obtain quick victory on a declara-
tion OF solidarity against European
issues. In the long run this may
prove to be pretty costly, for tossing

SUSSEX FARMERS TO
SELECT AAA HEADS
,contlnuea from F1rss raEs,

to administer successfully in Sus-
sex, the farmers should elect only
those men who are familiar with far
ming conditions in their own COM
munity and county. The newly elect
ed committeeman should be men of
ability, tkey should be able to as
sist in the educational work in con-
rection with the program, they
should know the program so that
they are able to explain to the farm
ers it's purposes, aims, etc. They
should be men who will further the
objectives of the program through
the establishment of allotments and
yields, and proper soil building goals
and point cut ways in which the pro-
visions IF the program can be best
adapted to the needs of individual
farms. Again, they should be men
who will keep themselves informed
on the program from time to time as
changes may occur. Too much stress
cannot be placed on the selection of
good, wei! qualified men to serve as
committeeman in each district. A
man for this job should not be elect
ed just because he is a good fellow.
The more capable the committeeman,
the more efficient the program will
be administered in the community
and county. In 1888. Delaware had
the lowest administrative costs of
any State in the country and this |
was due to the fact that those men /
who we're elected and selected in the |
various districts and counties were .
capable and efficient men.
A candidate for committeeman
must be & farmer who is cooperating
with the program. he may not hold a
major elective Office. nor engage in
political activity. He may not use
his position as committeeman to pro-
mote private business activities, is
not and has not been and does not
become during the current year an
officer or employee of any political
party or political organization. and
must be Il resident of the district
from which he is elected
Thus it is up to the farmers in
each district to do their part by Sc
lecting properly qualified human ma
chinery 70 administer the A. A. A
program during 1910.
Elections for this purpose will be
held as follows:
October 16, 1:30 p. m.-Third Dis
trict, Wesley's Community House.
Fourth District. Broad Creek Com
muinty House.
October II. 1870 p. m.-F'irst Dis

The local county committee and

ocal association, hopes that all of
,ur 5295 cooperating farmers will

N. A. C.-Have been reading
your column and notice where you
would answer free in the column.
Tell me if I am going to get per-
manent job any time soon?
Ans: You will not remain on
temporary work very long in
fact, the company that you are now
with will be able to place you per-
manently before midsummer. Stick
to them and try to pick up little
extra work on the side.
C. S. T.-My daughter has two
kids already here on me and I am
wondering if she is going to have
another child?
Ans: Well in all probability
she will have news for you very
soon. I believe that there will be
another child in her life. Make the
best of your present situation and
do not worry about it so much.
M. E. J.-My friend and I were
supposed to have gotten married
this month and now he thinks that
we should put it off until later
date. Does he intend to marry me ?
Ans: If were you l wouldn't
give him the chance. There is no
reason for his putting off marriage,
except that he doesn't think as
much of you as he thought he did.
Look around and make some new
friends and let him go his way.

Hello Everybody:

Hello Everybody:
Spring dashed in around one cor
ner and passed out around the 9TH
er last week, didn't it Boys played
marbles; girls roller-skated and one
old man next door to US was out
all day, planting his nasturtium
bed. But it didn't last and some
were glad of it, for very few had
bought their new outfits. The cool
spell that followed was greeted
with a sigh of relief as most of US
returned to the fireside and relaxed.
We received several anonymous
postal cards this week with very in
teresting tidbits of gossip, but ex-
perience has taught US to toss such
into the waste basket, so kindly in
the future sign your names and in
goes the news. Glad the "heart-
throbs" mentioned have patched up
their misunderstanding.

night: The boys and gals really
came out dressed to kill. I mean
to say, too, that those tuxedos our
sheiks about town were wearing
didn't hamper any of their style,
cause they certainly were having
a good time. Saw WARREN
GRISSOM dashing across the floor
with his lady love, LOIS SUTTON.
Did you know Warren was in the
Alpha's grand march and was he
enjoying himself? How come, for
Warren is a Kappa man. .

quite popular with the following:
MRS. LOUIS MOORE, DOROTHY
HALL and HILDA MOSES. .. .
Dancing on the terrace was little
chilly, but a number of couples
bein' so engrossed in each other
didn't take time out to notice the
chilliness. What st. Paul man
was seen emerging from the bar
