It speaks well for the type of instruc

three of the five silver cups given by
the Milwaukee chamber of commerce
for the best exhibits of spring wheat,

were won by a young man, a gradu

TO CULTIVATE
VACANT LOTS
Mrs. William S. Hilles Tells
of the Consumers' League's
Plans
The following advocating the culti
vation of vacant lots In Wilmington
I explains Itself:
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL: It Is the intention of the
( Consumer's League to put In operation
t ,M * "Cultivation of Vacant Lots" as a
U«»«« »»aiding the i»..r, the
fortunate, and tha unemployed of this
city. If this charity can bo placed on
a firm basis and to do so we must
have the necessary funds—the league
feels sure that much good can be done
for the less fortunate of Wilmington.
This work was discontinued by the
Associated nmHties m iw because m i
luck of sufficient funds, but Its develop
nient and recognized merit as an aid
to the poor, in other cities, has en
couraged the consumer's league to h»
Move that it can be sucesefully carried
on here, where our rapidly Increasing
/oretgn element brings us many very
Associated Charities regretted exceed
Inglv their inability to carry It on. he
rÄCr«;
"The cultivation of vacant lots serves I
as a school In which to teach the
young a new vocation and keep them
jsrxisr'r.iri'asrsss?
for young and old, for the weak In
body .and in mind."
Any donation towards (his charity
may be sent to Mrs, William S. Hilles,
No. #04 Market street, Wilmington.
I Any publicity given the mater will help
ns. and I thunk you for the space you
I accord me.
Yours truly,
Florence Bayard Hllles,
Chairman of the Cultivation of Vacant
Lots Committee of the Consumer's
League.
Wilmington, April B, 1910.
Engagement Announced.
nip engagement of Miss Ella E.
I Ebner and the Uev, Dr. H. Meyer, of
Aabury Park, N. J.. Is announced.
YOU MUST FIGHT. BOV.
After all Is said, my son, success In
this world Is a matter of hard lighting.
It there Is In you uo Joy of a fight,
no love for a scrimmage, you aro not
likely to score much of a victory.
Of course I do not mean fighting
men physically. That is i»oor busi
ness.
I mean you must have a real thrill
In attacking and overcoming things
that get int» your way, a joy In jump
ing over barriers.
"Where shall 1 fall In?" said tho
new recruit to the fighting colonel.
Like a flash was the response; "Fall
In anywhere. The fighting Is good all
along tho line."
And so It Is of life—the fighting Is
good anywhere along the lino.
There's heat and cold to fight.
And your own laziness.
And your Ignorance of real life.
Aud Ignorance of yourself.
Oh, there aro plenty of foes to fight!
Tho knights of old had no more of
it than you will have when you get
Into tho battle line and go up against
tho things outside of yourself aud In
side of yourself.
And If you have formed the bad
habit, even in boyhood, of dodging
nil the hard blows that fall you will
not fight the good fight.
The fighter is made by fighting.
The bigger the obstacle In his front,
the heavier (he task put upon him,
the greater Iho emergency looms, tho
j more docs the spirit of the fighter
, rise to do bravo battle.
There's a stimulus lu opposition.
A child may play all day long with
the big Maxim shells and roll them
about as he pleases. There is no dan
I ger. In order to be of account those
j shells must go »gainst something
I hard.
j When those shells are hurled like
j a thunderbolt »gainst the hardened
! steel armor plate of a battleship the
Impact brings out the tremendous
i force of destruction pent up Inside
j them.
So of the man who is hurled by the
hand of fate against the hard con
ditions of moral life— v
j Provided he Is of the Maxim make!
J The Impact, the striking force of
• the man. as be goes ogalnst hard
' circumstances make him a dangerous
explosive to the circumstances.
Sore I must fight If I would reign.
Increase my courage. Lord.
Bo runs the old hymn, which Is true
In both life find religion.
1 You must fight, boy.
In the Spring
When all nature takes on a
fresh, bright covering
Is the Time
I to repoint your house and
freshen up both inside and
out Before starting
To Paint
th: point to consider is the
quality. The best assurance
of getting what you want ic
to buy your paint from a re
liable concern.

Apparently seedsmen the country
over don't relish being advertised as
venders of adulterated grass seeds, for
the uuniber who have been found
guilty of the practice In seed Investi
gations made by the federal seed test
ing departments In different parts of
the country are far fewer than the
number reported the preceding year.
! Of 030 samples of red clover seed test
ed by the department last season but
fifty-four, or less than 10 per cent, were
found adulterated as compared with
over 50 per cent adulterated in the
.. samples of aced examined In 1008. The
seed examined la bought on the open
market and If found to contain Impu
Titles or adulterations the per cent of
such admixtures, together with the
names of the firms selling. Is printed
and given wide circulation In pam
phlots issued by the department. If
ono has grass seed which he suspects
contain impurities he may have the
same tested by submitting samples tc
j the seed laboratory at Washington ot
I to the brauch seed testing laboratories

Financial and Commercial
P.7 D. Lackey and Company state
to-day:
"There is very little to say about the
New Verk stock market except that
It is dull and likely to remain so for
some little time to come, and from the
buying absorption during tho past
week. It would seem that purchases
made on recessions would prove profit
able in the near future. The engage
ment of gold for export did not have
the depressing ffect anticipated by the
bear traders, but It Is generally believed
the downward movement of the mar
ket recently fully discounted nearly
every unfavorable feature. The Phil
adelphia market is very dull in sym
pathy with that of New York and net
changes from yesterday are very
small.
C. X. Hudson and Company stated this
morning:
"The bituminous strike is expected
to be over soon and labor troubles in
general are rapidly clearing up. Crop
news will soon be paramount. The
precipitation that has occurred this
week partly broke the western drought.
There Is still chance for much rainfall
during April and May. We see noth
ing to worry about on this score."
NEW YORK STOCK MARKETS.
By United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. April 5.—Substantial
gains were made In nearly everything
traded in at the opening of the stock
market. Most of the important Issues
followed the London lead cable» report
ing Americans at a higher range. Lrdon
Pacific and Reading both rose a point,
but In nearly all other Instances the ad
vances were fractional. At the end of
the fifteen minutes the tone still held
strong.
11 o'clock—The strong tone displayed at
the opening was maintained throughout
the first hour there being Important buy
ing, especially in Steel Common. The he
llet that a good government crop report
was coming also proved a strong bull ar
gument.
Governments unchanged; others dull.

TIMELY HINTS.
Where the pruning of the orchard
has been neglected and the putting of
the tree In proper shape would neces
sitate very heavy cutting of surplus
branches It is well to do part of the
work one season and complete It the
next Instead of doing It all up at ohe
time, as one's natural Inclination often
Is, Spreading tho job out over two
or even three seasons relievos tho tree
of a shock that often results In per
manent Injury. Of course this refers
chiefly to pears and apples, for the
peach stands far heavier pruning than
either without Injury.
If moss luxuriates on the shingles
and snails are now and then seen
clinging to the clapboards and door
knobs It Is presumptive evidence, un
less one lives in a section where It
rains all the time, that there Is too
much shade about the house. If such
Is the esse some of It should be re
moved, whether through the removal
of whole trees or the trimming up
and thinning of the branches. Sun
shine Is recognized by all health au
thorities as one of the most effective
germ destroyers known, and unless n
good supply of it plays on the house
and the ground Immediately surround
ing things are too wet and a decidedly
unhealtbful condition prevails which
ought to be righted.
The Crop Reporter for February, is
sued under the supervision of the de
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton, contains some interesting statis
tics relative to the number and value
of farm animals In the country Jan.
1, 1010, as compared with the show
ing of a year prior. The number of
horses shown on Jon. 1, 1010. is 21,040,
000, their value being placed at $2.
276,333.000. or an average of $108.10
per head. This Is an increase in num
ber of 400,000. while the average value
per head shows an increase of about
$12.50 for the period. The total num
ber of mules at the last report was
4,123,000, an increase of 70,000 during
the year and an Increase in value per
animal of $12. Although s*ine show;
a decrease in numbers of 6,365,000 in
a total of 47.782.000. the increase ta
total value is $81.809.000. or $2.50 per
head during the year. The number of
sheep is placed at 57.216,000. This
increase during the year of 1,132,
000, the total Increase In value being
$41,032,000, or 65 cents per head.
an
Why Does a Man Smile
In that very knowing way when you mention Circulation of a
newspaper? Why docs he look at you with a "that's what
the\' all say" look? Just because the circulation of a news
paper has always been a mystery—the answer to which was
only known by the men who made the paper. The proverbial
Sphinx had nothing on newspaper publishers for keeping
secret the real number of papers printed and sold.
<J But conditions changed and the man who claimed Mis
souri as his birthplace went his way and left behind him an
ever growing army of the sect whose watchword is "Show
And newspapers, from the big fellow whose press is
busy every minute of the day and night down to his smaller
brother who accepts a bushel of "seedlings" in lieu of sub
scription, began to watch the indicator on the big "Hoe" or
"Goss" or old-style "flat" more carefully and held these fig
ures up for the edification of the Advertiser who said "Show
me."
<JSo we have written this for your benefit, Mr. Merchant who
would be "shown," for the difference between Delaware and
