MUST REDUCE EXPENSES.

1t is advisable for the County

cost more money during the
coming year than at any time

upon the School Board to in

laid down in the Act In adj

June levy, amounting TO over
five thousand dollars other
expenses have increased with
the natural development of the
county. and the progress of the
times, while the taxable basis
has practically remained the
same for the last twelve years,
owing 10 the fact tia, it seems
impossible to get a Legislature
To pass a bill, granting the
much needed assessment There
seems to be- no better way al
visable. than to decrease the
amount Of the general appro-
priation for road purposes. For
several years the county has
been spending large sums of
money for this purpose At
the present time, the state Of
Mary land is making arrange
ments TO spend considerable

What weneed for the next year
or two, is only sufficient labor
and money expenditure to keep
the roads in a fairpassable con

with sand and clay.
There is no disposition on the
part Of any one to lay aside
this all important work for
some other purpose. We are
mindful of the great advantage
accruing to any community
from road improvements, at
the same time, in view Of the
fact that great deal Of money
is being spent, and a great
many roads to be improved,
yet undetermined upon, we
can we'll afford to wait a short,

assessment can be had, and our

The Helpful Art of Smiling.


The commercial value of looking
pleasant is to be demonstrated in the
public schools In a course for sales
women. the first of its kind. opened
Monday night at school No. %. pupils
are 10 be taught among other things
the art of smiling when the customer
approaches"
What is IN such a line Of instruc-
tion set down as a proposition strictly
of business deserves transmutation into
n golden rule of general intercourse
The principle Of optimism shines
through &c. than which there is none
more helpful or more timely. The right
kind Of smile is never fatuous. II may
beturned effectively upon advancing
troubles as well as upon approaching
customers
Properly TO encourage a long dis
tance runner one tells him how far he
has gone. not how far he has yet to go.
And the way to meet difficulties is
not by thinking how bad they are,
but by believing in a way out. Looking
for the worst impairs the digestion.
Smiles saN'e the appetite and the
strength.

TO
SAVE THE BOOKS
Delaware Law is Stringent
TO Protect Volumes or
Papers in Libraries

All public libraries suffer more or less
from mutlation Of books and even thefts.
by those who have not a proper respect
and regard for public property. Some i'm
dividuals will mark a book or cut out a
page with the same indifference that they
would break branches of of beautiful
tree in the park Many persons who wish
to look at the book which has been mud-
lated or which is not on the shelf at all
are deprived Of their rights. The library
assistants are not policemen ana are so
busy with other duties that they have no
time to watch carefully every person who
goes into the library. The fact that the
mutilating Of books is a crime against the
State is not generally realized and for the
benefit Of those who are not familiar with
the Delaware law on this subject It is
given here in full.
If any person, having access to or being
in possession Of any book, magazine
