THE TOWN CRoAKER

In every town you fnd some men who
always croak and growl; their chief
amusement seems to be to snsrl and
whine and howl. OF course they do not
prosper wsll-such people seldom do
and so they strive to make themselves
and all their neighbors blue. II strangers
come these men endeavoE to get them off
alone, and while they speak in doleful
tones, tell them how it 10 dead and passed
away, and hasn't any enterprise that half
begins to pay; how real estate is very low
and taxes very high, and every improve
ment scheme is sure to wane and die.
The good book says q day will come
when all must pass away and swop for
wings and golden harps this tenement Of
clay, the earth will burn with ferVent
heat, the sun 60 out in gloom, and every
living, breathing thing shall find real
tomb. When that time comes the croak-
er who drives against his town-and tries
to drive good men away and break their
efforts down-Wlll be declared q victim
for a special dose Of fame-ten thousand
years and he will be roasting just che
same. Meantime the energetic man who
lsbors for his town, always works to
build it up instead of tearing down, will
ride from earth to heaven in Pullman
palace car, aud will dwell 10 peace for.

DEMOCRATS BUSY

he has strong chance. While these two
men are expecting the nomination the
Kent county citizens are considerably
stirred owing to the fact that they have
not had candidate for some time and
believe that this is their turn by rotation
to be represented by the candidate. Henry
Ridgly and William Salisbury, both ol

campaign, while William H. Stayton of
Smyrna is also being considered.

WHY DO MEN ADVERTISER


The man who conducts bis business on
the theory that it doesn't pay and be cant
afford to advertise. sets up his judgment
in opposition to that Of oil she best busi'
ness men in the world. Says an expert
enced advertising authority: "With q
few years' experience in conducting Q
small business on a few thousands Of cap,
itals, he assumes to know more than
thousands who hourly transactions aggre.
gate more than bis do in year, and who
have made their millions by pursuing Q
course that be says doesn't pay"
II advertising doesn't pay, why is il
that the most successful merchants ol
every town, large or small, are the heavD
lest advertisers? If advertising doesn't
pay, who does the most business? II
it does not pay, business firms in the
world spend millions In that way. Is il
because they want to donate those mil
lions to the newspaper and magazine pub
fishers, or because they don't know al
much about business aa the six.for.s-dol.
lar merchant who says money spent in
advertising is thrown away or donated to
the man to whom It is paid? Such talk
is simply ridiculous, and ID requires more
than the average patience to discuss the
proposition Of whether advertising pays
or not with that kind of Q man. His COM
pIacsnt self-conceit is assuming that be
knows more than the whole world is
laughable, and reminds rs of the man
who proved that the world doesn't re.

DESTITUTE CHILDREN

No problem more puzzling than that o

sociOlogist; and perhaps no single branch
of philanthropy has succeeded less in
apprOximating she institution to The
home.
Iona, Minn., possesses home for desti.
tute children that in many respects ia un-
usual. Both boys and girls are cared for.
No child is ever given out to be adopted.
When boy reaches tine age of twenty
one be leaves the home and boards out.
Girls remain until they marry or take up
some calling that leads them elsewhere.
When . boy 10 sixteen be starts to
work. Many Of tbs girls teach school,
coming to the home every Friday and
remaining until Monday. There are no
uniforms, and no unnecessary rules, the
intention beingto make the home as near
ly like a family home as possible.
The children are allowed to Invite
friends to meals or to stay over night oc-
casiOnally, and after attaining to the
dignity Of seventeen years they return
these visits. Thus they lose the feeling
that they are inmates" of an institution
and enjoy some of the advantages Of
home life.
Every boy and girl becomes self-sup.
porting, and tbe records OF this unique
establishment are signal testimonials to
its success. A system which develops the

HOUSES IN A CIRCLE

Buenos Ayres has an architect iG
Prof Pierre Roveda who has devised .
special plan for building whole districts
of houses for the workingman. Instead
Of erecting the houses on the ordinary
equare block Prof. Royeda has used q
circle which has diameter Of from 100
to 100 Yards.
This circle Of ground is divided into
ninety.nine radial lots conyerging to q
centre. The circle is concentrically
divided to form an interior avenue four
yards broad to allow communication
with the centre Of the circle. Each
avenue leads to external sidewalks and
to longitudinal and transverse streets.
In the centre of the circle is plot of
forty yards in diameter where children
may be left to themselves without their
parents care, in charge of q specially
designated person. In this garden
playground, a school, hospital, fire
station and an administration room are
to be found.
Naturally this circular plot Of ground
leaves free four corners. In one of these
four corners the professor purposes to
build four chaIets, such as grocery shops,
dairies, haberdasheries and the like,
which are intended to be carried on in
cooperative way. In each Of the ninety.
nine radial plots workingmau's house
is to be erected on the English plan.
Prof. Roveda argues for his circular
arrangement that it will give continuous
sunshine at all hours of the day and
plenty Of light and cir.

DO 1T NOW

Ifyou are one of those people who keep
putting off doing little tasks about the
house until they are piled up mountain
high, try the following plan -
Get notebook and write down in It a
list Of eli the various things you have
been meaning to do but never have
time to-such as sending of recipe to Q
friend, returning the song you borrowed,
or mending the hole in the curtains.
When the list is completed, set aside the
first afternoon or evening you can possibly
spare, and work off as many as you can.
As soon as you have finished one, score
it off with pencil, and you will be sur
prised to find what a pleasant sensation
il is to see the list growing smaller.
Very likely you will clear the things of
go quickly that you will be looking round
for other things to do, says Home Chat.
OF course, some people have taught
themselves to do things just the moment
they are noticed, or as soon after as they
can possibly manage it, and don't need
reminders, but the notebook will help
those who have not acquired the "do it
now" habit.

YeIIows and Little Peach

Reports from all parts Of Delaware
where peaches are grown show that both
peach yellows and little peach are more
or less prevalent this year, as they have
been for several years past. Experiences

to find either no cure and no preventive
except the drastic method Of destroying
