UNION LOAN G. SAVINGS ASSN.


There is no more important factor
in the upbuildirg of any city than a
reliable loan ana savings association.
Many of our members have been en-
abled to purchase and pay for homes
through the Union Loan and Savings
association. Differed by gentlemen
of the highest integrity and ability,
this association has helped many per-
sons TO save portion of their earn
ings. thus adding greatly to the pres
tige and prosperity of our city. When
a person owns his own home he has
a feeling of independence. The wage
earners should stop wasting their
money in rent receipts and start an
account with the Union Loan and Saw
ings association, and the money they
are giving the landlord will help in
paying for home of their own
Many of the patrons have become in
dependent from the saving of dol
lar or more a week. They aid you
in every possible way to save, and it's
officers are gentlemen who have
aided greatly in promoting the well
fare of Lincoln. Start a savings ac-
count with this reliable institution
and YOU will be surprised how fast 1T
will accumulate. They will also bye
glad to make you a loan to assist in
the purchase of home. Their home
office is located at 1245 N street, and
their phone numbers are: Bell 1867;
Auto 2577.

PENNSY FIREMEN
CUT DOWN PASSES

A striK5ng illustration of the efici-
ency of Pennsylvania Railroad EN-.
ployes in hghting fires is afforded by
figures from the annual report of the
insurance department Of the company
II is shown that "a fires, occurring in
1908 on property valued at more than
S6,I50.000, were extinguished by the
railroads own employees with the COM
pany's apparatus.
The insurance departments report
derives added significance from the
fact that during the past year addi-
itonal equipment for extinguishine
fires has been placed at available
points. The company's own organiza-
tion Of fighting fires has been further
developed by special training Of EN-.
ployes, and locomotives in yard ser.
vice have been equipped with special
apparatus for use in case Of fire.
A circular Is to be issued by the in
surance department giving the cause OF
all fires on the Pennsylvania system
East and West Of Pittsburg I'm 1908. in
order that the employees may realize
that their efforts TO minimize losses
from fire arc appreciated. and further
that their attention may be called to
the number OF hres occurring from pre-
ventable causes.

LITTLE STORY OF A BOY.

r. L is the son OF laborer; he is just sixteen
years of age; a hard working boy, but he
thought and acted His name is Jared Barlcwill
and he lives at Lawrence, Indiana. Jared's pros
poets in life were not very rosy. His chance of
an education was Slim
1t is different now. He has become ward of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company That
great corporation is educating Jared. He has
been sent to the high school, and the company
will put him through college. for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has liking for such
bows as Jared.
1t all came about in this way About year
ago Young Jared discovered near his home pile
OF ties which had been placed the track for the
purpose of wreckng one of the flyers of the
Pennsylvania Company.
Quick was the boy to realize that disaster
impending. So he ran three miles to the
nearest flag station and notified the hagman of
the obstruction which Jared was not strong
enough to remove himself. And the lives Of the
passengers OF the oncoming train were saved
They raised purse for Jared and they show
cred their thanks upon him. But the company
went a little further. The railroad officials looked
into the life Of the boy and found that he wanted
an education And so an education he shall have
The company officials are watching him and
noticing his progress. When Jared is fitted, he
will probably be taken into the employ of the
company with the path to success opened to
him.
It was kind act on tie part of the company
and shows that services are often rewarded bet
ter than might be expected.

small. There is excitement in that.
Possibly he carries his weeks wages
patiently home to his wife and trusts
to the tips to give him something on

answering any unpleasant questions
involving the relative importance Of
drinks and cigars on ore SIDE and of
the baby's shoes on the other

BATTLEsHIP DELAWARE.

XA HILE it may be admitted that there is no
w necessity OF the members of the Della
ware Legislature attending the Inauguration
ceremonies OF the new President the State
should certainly be creditaby represented at the
launching OF the Battleship Delaware. On such
occasions other states make it point to have
some sort Of display, and Delaware should not
be behind her sister commonwealths in this
respect 1t seems that the ship building COM
pany has made provision for the entertainment
of but a small number OF persons, but the Della
wareans might be able to look out for them
selves. 1t is unfortunate that the company will
not make the launching a more notable incident
than it promises to be. As has been said, unless
the launching of the Delaware is impressive and
interests our people, the sentiment in favor Of
making handsome gift to the battleship will
not be so strong.
However. such a gift should be made for the
credit of the State and the Legislature should
provide the money necessary. As may be re-
called a great send-off was given the gunboat
Wilmington in this city with elaborate and inn
posing ceremonies in which the late Mr.. Bay
ard was the central figure so far as the city was
concerned
The Batteship Delaware will be the LARGEST
vessel Of the American Navy and the State
should certainly show some substantial recogni-
tion OF the fact

GOOD ROADS.

r VIDENTIY there will be some opposition
- TO the proposal to spend a large amount
for the erection of a new state capital building
at Dover. The Smyrna Times doubtless eN-
presses the opinion of many when II suggests
that the same amount might be devoted TO n-
proving the roads OF the State The Times
thinks that while new State House would be
q magnificent undertaking and would beautty
Dover good and permanent roads would be OF
more advantage TO the people in general. The
Times calls for good roads and says that the
State House project can wait.
Apart from the State House matter, the ques-
ton of good roads is becoming live one IN the
lower counties. We have made considerable
progress in this county towards good roads and
our neighbors in the lower counties are also cry
ing for permanent road Improvement
The present method of caring for the roads in
Kent county has been very unsatisfactory and
the same complaint is heard from Sussex county
II will be recalled that some time ago the gov
ernment threatened to take off some of the rural
delivery carriers in Sussex because OF the
frightful condition of the roads Any one fa-
miliar with the roads in the lower counties knows
that in winter some of them are almost impass-
Bile The counties spend considerable money on
their roads, but in many instances this money
is wasted.
That the subject is engaging the attention of
people in all parts OF the State is also evident
from an editorial in the Milford Chronicle. The
Chronicle declares that the management OF the
roads should be taken out of politics and holds
that politics is chiefly responsible for the mis-
erable condition of the public highways The
Chronicle thinks. and we agree with it, that the
first thing needed is a system, and this can come
about only BY having county road engineer as
we have in New Castle Castle county. The
Chronicle says that with one man at the head
who is capable OF mapping out the proper sys
tenn of drainage and the proper way to do road
work the amount we are now eXpending or
roads will give Delaware fine highways
This is a point we'll worth considering. The
lower counties do devote considerable money foi
road purposes and all the testimony seems to b'
that much Of this money is frittered away.
We trust that Governor Pennewill who is SC
much interested in this matter will continue tc
aeitate for good roads and assist in any reason
able measures that will bring about the improve
ment Of the highways in the lower counties.
The farmers in their various organization!
should consider good roads We believe that thu
outlook, all things considered, OF the Delawar'
farmer is better than ever. Good roads are
however essential to the full development 0

The international agent Of the bar

suade the local members to join in
an effort 10 do away with tips from
patrons. Higher regular wages and
no tips is his platform. Let the boss

otherwise would be regular patrons he
