EXPENSE WOULD
BE TOO GREAT
Little Hope That a Paid Fire
Department Will Be ES-
tabIiShed
MONEY NEEDED ELSEWHERE

While there may be serious talk OF
a paid fire department now going the
rounds, it is hardly likely that such a
thing viii come TO pass yet awhile,
even though those who are interested
in the movement should have a bill
TO this effect, introduced in the Legis-
iature at the present term.
The enormous cost OF changing the
volunteer service into a paid one, is
the barrier. and until meanssa found
whereby the revenue OF the city and
State is greatly increased the change
cannot be effected. Large sums OF
money will be needed to complete the
new water system and improve the
streets and sewers OF the city. The
Board Of Education also wants an adj
dttional appropriation to increase the
salaries of teachers and If these loan
bills pass the Legislature. Wilmington
will have incurred sufficient indebted
ness for time.
Mayor Wilson Opposed To II
One official who is opposed to a paid
fire department at this time is Mayor
Horace Wilson. I'VE cannot afford it.
he said TO a reporter for The Evening
Journal. "Our present department is
good enough for any city the size of
Wllmington and to change it would
mean an expense we are unable TO bear
under existing circumstances"

der what the trouble is when the
editor and the merchant leave town
together.
The home merchant contributes to
the support of the church. he pays
his taxes to keep the schools up. he
contributes to the horse show, the fall
festival. and the hundred and one
things that he is supposed to help out
and give his support to. He Is at the
head Of the list for everything that Is
for the good OF the community and he
deserves the honest and hearty CO
operation Of all the people, all tho
time. that are interested In the vel.

live. The merchant helps to elect the
men that are to represent them in the
city. county. state and national af.
fairs. and he is ever on the go looking
to the interests Of the people.
The people like to be entertained
and they will come many miles to
some amusement given by the mer.
chants of the town where they are
ever ready to go to sell their farm
products. The merchant cannot give
these entertainments unless he has
the support Of the people and 1t is not
fair to expect this Of the men that are
striving for livelihood. when the peo.
pie send their money to a concern in
some far away city that will neither
contribute to any OF these enterprises

In preparing q peach cocktail re,
member that anything having cher

favor OF peaches. and either kirsch.
maraschino or curacao or any cherry
cordial may be used. Place the can
ned peaches on Ice for some hours SO
that they may become thoroughly
chilled. The slices. which should not
be too thin. are then cut into smaller
cube shaped pieces. and the grain of
the fruit will show; add \ little sugar
to the fruit, sprinkling 1t thoroughly
from a sieve and tossing the fruit
about with a salad fork 10 a. not to
bruise It The fruit should not be
over.sweetened; pour over the sweet
ened fruit a few spoonfuls OF syrup
from preserved marrons. or add very
little of the syrup from preserved gin
ger, than add the cordial according to
taste; NIL into tall stemmed glasses
or into sherbet cups that have been
chilled and serve at once. Your guests
will think you're giving them the hot
house variety in January, and be prop
erly impressed.
Peach combination.-Then. there's .
delicious peach combination. For this
use bananas. oranges and peaches and
few white grapes. Prepare by cut
ting the canned fruit into small bits;
pare and seed the oranges and cut
these these into small bits. first divid-
ing the orange into carpets and cut
ting across them; cut the bananas into
small cubes and remove the stones
from the grapes: all the fruit should
be thoroughly chilled by being kept on
ice for hours before serving time. Add
q little sugar. sprinkled evenly over
the fruit. and II the flavor OF bananas
Is not desired. omit these. substituting
pineapple cut into small pieces or
shredded; a few preserved chestnuts
also cut up. and = few maraschino
cherries may also be cut up and added.
Fill these into the bottom OF tall
