MM,Mi STARVING IN CHINA
Disastrous floods in China have
totally destroyed the crops cf a
whole province, and 2,000,(XX)
hnman beings are facing starva
tion-hundreds dying daily from
exposure, hunger and disease.
To add to the unbelievable suf
new and if possible greater
horrors.
So simple is the mode of life of
these industrious farmers and
villagers, that a fraction over a
penny a day will sustain life; so
that the pittance of |1 50 will
keep one wretched, starving hu
man being alive till the last of
May when their own planted
crops will give them food.
Big-hearted Americans, as
usual, all over this bountiful
land, individually and in some in
stances through organized ef
forts, are helping to save these
perishing millions May not,
should not, Middlelowu also do
something ?
America—whose benefactions
to other lands far exceeds that of
all other nations put together—
never had so prime an occasion
to "cast her bread upon tl.e
waters to find it after many
days," as here China will grate
fully remember America's kindly
band thus opened to her in her
hour of need.
When a few years ago England,
* Germany and the rest of Europe,
took a mean advantage of China's
helplessness to levy extortionate
blackmail under the guise of
Boxer indemnities, the United
States honorably refused to ac
« cept her share in the graft and
covered back into the Chinese
treasury nearly $11,000,000 ex-
cess of actnaKdamages done its
citizens. The motive that
prompted this act was simply
that sendfe of Justice and mercy
which, equally towards the weak
and the strong, has always
marked onr nation's history; it is
in truth,Us unique glory that i
-never by force or craft wronged
another nation.
But this act of justice has stir
red China deeply and i s national
gratitnde translated into commer
cial terms, means much to Amer
ica in the near future. For that
sturdy, industrious race whose
vast numbers include almostone
fourth of the total population of
the globe, is at last awakened
from out its long sleep of 4000
years.and the nation possessing
its good will in trade and per
mitted to minister to its number
less and ever increasing wants
as it swiftly advances in its new
civilization, will be enormously
enriched thereby.
But not from policy but for
pity—for sweet charity's sake, do
we urge our readers to aid in this
worthy cause of buying human
life for $1.50. Think of it, $1.50
will save some starving man,
woman or child from death.
Who would not for such a trifle
have the luxury of knowing that'
they bad bestowed the God like
gift of Life? Were these uufor
tunates dying in our very streets
for want of bread bow the gener
ous dollars would be poured out!
But these sufferings are none the
less real though in far off China.
Subscriptions are already com
ing in from the appeals made
from the pulpits. Unless other
wise requested The Transcript
will publish all names and
amounts given. Henry Toy adds
$1 .50 to the $5.00 already sent!
by him.
We do not donbL tbat The
Transcript's Fund —which
when complete will be sent to the
agents of the Red Cross Society
in Seattle—will be worthy of onr
town.

THE NEW TOWN SPIRIT
It is a pleasing task for The
Transcript to commend the new
public spirit that is beiog exbib
ited by a large number of gentle
men and by tbe ladies of the New
Century Club. It only needs for
our citizens to ronse themselves
and do things within their pow
ers, for Middletown to enter up
on a new and wider era of pros
perity.
country, and tbe movement by
A
the New Century Club to secure
the needed new railroad station
—these are promising signs »if a
new civic awakening agreeable to
witness. ..
We understand Mr.* Louis
t
Topkis, a leading business man
ef Wilmington, is offering to start
a light underwear manufactory
as he bas successfully done in
Clayton, Smyrna, New Castle,
etc. _. _
N In Smyrna he has a yearly
wage payment of $50,000. He
offers to hire any number of em
ployees. A few years ago 100
persons were thus employed in
our town and we believe that
once the new enterprise is in ac
tual operation, with a succesful
business man at its head. 100 or
r
even more workers will be at
tracced to the towt), most of them
to become residents. What this
w ould mean to the town needs nsf
comment.
~:ii malonmorl

ing. Towns all around us aie
using this valuable instrument to
promote their growth, and are
deriving many benefits there

so
of
Middletown is strategically plac
ed at the center of a large, rich
and fast developing district in
two states, and if its people will
bestir themselves, can become a
place of far greater business im
portance than now.
It is sickening to recall the
splendid chances to have had
large manufacturing enterprises
such as the great Moline Plow
Works, railroad shops, etc.,
which in former years were
literally driven away ! Give us a
Board of Trade, and let all our
citizens—women as well as men,
lend a beany hand, and the town
will take its proper station in the
onward march that is occurring
all around us.
□ Since penning the above we are
informed that at a meeting of the
School Board Thursday evening,
the 3ubject of a Board of Trade
was broached. Good! Now let
sr me ljve man step to the fore,
and presto—it is done! What
citizen well take to himself this
honor?
Our Representative, Han. F.
R. Pool is Sharply lookiig after
the town's interest in the legisla
ture. His bill compelling the
railroad company to put gates at
this highly dangerous crossing—
doubly so now that the partUioiT
fence permits two trains to pass
at once at the station—is a just
one, and should pass, even if the
railroad "third bouse" as usual
tries to kill it with its "blue
pencil" veto.

TESTIMONIAL
Middletown, Del., January 5 h, 1910.
This is to certify that I have been using the L"Gore Combination
Lime for 10 years, and iiava got good results from the ose of this lime.
My crops have increased one-third or more, and my grass and iiay have
been the beat of the neighboriiood. My land is free from sfieep sarrell
and old field sage, wtiicti I had when I commenced using LeGores' lime. Æ
I always ose the stone lime and truly believe in LeGore finie —would nse
no other and recommend it to any farmer who wants lime, as I consider Wt
it the best. I bought all of my lime from J. A. CDaver, Agent for Le
Gore Lime Co. JAMES T. JARRELL. A?
