4 LESSON N AMERlCASlsM


Communist Leader Earl Browder
has been sentenced 70 prison FOR four
years for travelling under forged
passports He viii have time. there
fore, TO ponder the important diner
ence between the way things are
done in the land Of his origin Am
erica--and the land he seems to
think is so much better-R Russia.
II the Red chief is a thoughtful
man. he might well begin by pom
dering what would have happened to
him If he had been Russian in
Moscow and had advocated that the
Soviet change over to a democratic
form Of government based on the
American pattern. Governed he was
given a trial at all, it would be a
political show, in which he would be
prosecuted for his democratic be-
liefs, and be "liquidateR' within "a
hours.
The trial at which he was convict
ed In New York City recently was
Of a far different order. The jury was
not concerned with the point that
the defendant was Communist: the
prosecutor stuck closely to proof Of
the fact that BrOwder had used Am
erican passports illegally-in other
words. that he had abused his privil5
ege of citizenship. This was the only
ground upon which the man was
convicted, and he was allowed to
speak at great length in his own de-

ENLIGHTENED BUSINESS
LEADERSHIP

There is nothing to fear from free
enterprise throughout the United
States. declared Senator Davis of
Pennsylvania a few days ago. In
his opinion the Government problems
of this decade have held the spot
light of public attention long
enough"
The long period of discord that
has prevented the cooperation of
labor and business and the decade of
political high-pressure and extreme
partisan programs appears to be
subsiding. AS one observes the
changing trends it is only to dis
cover that our national economies
have assessed new moral and spirit
ual values. Competent students and
authorities agree that the resources
in land. labor and machinery should
now step up the productive output
of America from to 10 per cent
annually for several years to come.
There is reason to share these
optimistic hopes as they fall in har-
mony with results achieved by the
people of this country for the past
century and half.

REA MEETING HERE
WAS WELL ATTENDED

Seven directors were elected at the
meeting of the Delaware Rural Elec-
trification Association and approval
given of the execution and delivery
by the cooperative to the federal
authorities of mortgages covering
REA needs.
More than 300 attended the meet
ing and heard f. Laird Kratz, the
secretary, tell of the growth of the
association and of plans for the ex-
tension of electric current in Kent
and Sussex rural areas. At present
the organization operates 1000 miles
of lines in the two lower counties.
Directors elected were: Sussex
county, Norval Pepper, Seaford, pres
ident of the association; Robert O..
Boyce, Seaford; f. L. Kratz, Green
wood; Francis NJ. Gum, Jr., Frank
ford; Kent county. Dudley Crossley,

BILLIONS FOR SECURITY

During the past four years. the
people of this country have pur-
chased close to $4,000, 900 900 worth
of ordinary life insurance. That gil
gantic total does not include annu-
tiles or group insurance.
That amount Of money is too stu
pendous for the ordinary mind to
encompass. 1t would pay more than
half of our record-breaking national
debt. 1t would provide every family
in the country with brand new au-
'tomobile of excellent quality It
would build 100000 first-class
homes It would provide 100000
young people with college eduea-
ti0ns.
That gives you some idea of what
$27 1000, 100000 means. And it gives
you an idea too of Americas thrift,
foresight and purchasing power
Life insurance is Of greatest benefit
to the man of ordinary means-it
offers a security that can be achiev-
ed In no other way. Every policy
sold has a definite and favorable
bearing on the future Of this country.

RRBAD AND F00D PRICES

The Monopoly Committee at Wash
irpton reports that the prices Of
bread have increased more through
ont the United States than rorre-
sponding increases in the cost of raw
materials. Most Of the numerous
complaints" reported BY the TNEC in
January concerned bread. The large
bakers were asked about it and their
defense was that they were forced 70
raise prices Of bread because of the
rising costs of raw wheat and -four
resulting from the European war.
But the Monopoly Committee doesn't
accept that claim as correct, and 1t
points to the fact that the increase in
-four prices throughout the United
States has been less than One-half
cent a pound. Moreover. according
10 the federal investigators, lit is
public knowledge that bread prices
during the depression failed TO come
down" with the reduction in -four
prices. The committee shows that
the largest bakeries sell the same
bread at different prices in different
places.
Prices of many ordinary articles OF
food have also gone up and this has
brought a flood of complaints to the
Committee.

RADIANT LIVING
GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES
BY Rev. C. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely n r. Church
o Rldgely. Md.

Life is circuit. That is what our
scientists tell us.
Investigate the atom, they point
ont. and what do we find? An in
finitesimal solar system. Take for
instance, the simplest Of atoms. that
of hydrogen. which consists OF one
electron spinning around a proton,
like a planet spinning around a sun.
What is taking place in the atom
is also taking place in the solar
system, wherein the planets are
spinning around the sun; and the
whole system itself is spinning
around a center too distant for us
to know.
How ismilarly true is the life OF
each one of us! There is something
central in each one of our lives
around which we are daily revolving.
II may be the daily grind of routine
work, it may be the ambition for
career, it may be the pursuit OF
pleasure, it may be a devotion to
God. Whatever it may be, it is su-
premely central in your life and
around it all other things revolve.
Is that central thing in your life
something small, something un-
healthy, something with a negative
power, holding your life by its infiu-
ence within a very small circle?
The circuit of the moon is very
small compared with the circuit OF
the earth because it has only a dead
earth exercising the supreme inhu-
ence upon its life. But the circuit
of the earth is infinitely larger be-
cause it has for its center of infu-
enee a living sun.
Select for the central influence in
your life something that is infntive-
ly bigger than yourself, something
of surprising quality. something that
will fill your life with inspiration
and make possible outstanding
achievements.
When God is the center of ones
life, he no longer goes around in
circles; he travels large orbit.

aRFP.YA YAN.WnNKLEv no BE
PRESENTED AT GEORGETOWN


~Rip-van-W Winkle," the play based
on Washington Irving's popular
story Of the Catskill Mountains, will
be presented today, February 20, at
the Georgetown school auditorium
by the Clare Tree Major Theatre Co.
Of New York.
An unusual feature of the per-
formanee will be the Indian dances
given by De-o-son-ga, a Pawnee In
dian. These dances are given as
part Of she village life of the period,
the friendly Indian being shown
teaching the dances to a young white
blood brother of his tribe.
Twenty years which Rip-Van-
Wrinkle slept away covered the per-
iod during which the union Of the
states was formed. When he went
to sleep, the village inn carried a
portrait of King George on its sign
board. When he woke, this had been
displaced by a picture of George
Washington.
In the beginning of the story mall
contents harangued against the evils
of British rule. On Rips return, he
found new malcontents haranguing
against the evils of the new govern
ment. Even then there were people
to whom whatever is, is wrong.
The play also provides an amusing
novelty for the youngsters in the
form of a dancing bear. The bear is
not a real one, we are told. Trans
portation and care of a real bear
would be difficult. But though Mana
in "Peter Pan" was not real dog, he
was easily one of the most popular
members of the cast. The imagina-
tion of the child apparently does
not demand reality in the sense that
the adult audience does, providing
the representation is made sincerely.
So, though the children will probably
guess it is not real bear, as they
knew quite well Mana was not real
dog, it is expected they will enjoy his
antics just the same.
The Clare Tree Major play is
under the sponsorship Of the Ameri-
can Association of University Wo-
men. of which Mrs. Clarence Keyes
of Pennington is president OF the
Southern Delaware branch. The
chairman of the play committee is
Mrs. H. R. Phillips of Glendale.
Other members of the committee are
Mrs. George Walls of Georgetown,
Mr.. Butz, superintendent of George
town school. and Albert Farley, one !
of the school supervisors. /
The Southern Delaware branch OF
the American Association Of the
University Women hope many school .
children of southern Delaware will
be among those who have already
bought tickets for the performance
to be given at the Georgetown school
auditorium this afternoon at 200

COTTON GOES ACROSS THE SEAS

once upon a time American cotton
was shipped all over the world and
then came the tragic losses Of the
foreign markets.
Official reports just issued from
Washington show that Great Britain,
China, Spain and Sweden have in
creased their purchases of American
cotton, with the result that the for
eign market consume more than 51s
rer cent more cotton in 1889 than in
the previous year.
Cotton is a raw product used in
making explosives. Nevertheless
Spain is now buying increased guam
titles of cotton for manufacturing.
Thus it may appear that Spain is fur
nishing lesson to the world in
showing that the best and cheapest
kinds Of all textiles are made Of
American cotton.
