WORK FOR HOME WEEK.

~ HE MERCANTILE ASSOCIATION Of this city has
i come out in favor Of having Home Week festival
In this city next September Councilman Stover OF the
Seventh ward previously had proposed that the cele
braton be held in October Both suggestions are good
but we think the time advocated by the association is
bettcr in is planned TO have correspond with
that Of the Delaware State Fair AZ that time it will be
possible to have not only the Home Week crowd hut
also tho State Fair crowd in city and that should
contribute 20 make the demonstration much more inn
posing and pleasing than It would he II held In Octo-
bcr In addition September Will suit the farmers much
better as they have less work 10 do then than In oc-
tober
However as Councilman Stoyer advanced the sugges-
ton we think the members of the Mercantile .ssoca-
ton should exercise the courtesy discussing the
ton of time with him. Unquestionably the council
mans sole desire bring about great gathering of
Vimingtonans and to give TO people and the ysi-
tors the pleasure OF a gala week That also is true of
The members Of the association. Therefore we think
ntc dhculty should be experienced in reconeing all
differences Of opinion as to time, Il without
saving weight of tho argument viii be IN favor
OF making home week and fair week one
Both the association and Councilman stover should
work in harmony as they are actuated by wholly
selfish motives in this matter The object should be to
make the gala week the biggest thing OF the sort our
city ever has known. Those who are working for it
should have the hearty cooperation OF all the mer-
chants and manufacturers in community. They al
ready Of the cooperation OF the Delaware
State Fair Association That the enterprise will have
the unstinted assistance of the newspapers with
out saying. 1t viii be great bringing together OF
Wlmiugtouans and their friends, and, important
than that from a practical viewpoint, it will be big
advertisement for our home city. Councilman stover
and tho members Of the Mercantile Association are
titled 10 the thanks OF community for the interest
hey are taking in the matter.

Amulet Lodge was a pretty cottage,
built in q pine grove. on the shore of
a lovely lake. We always called it
THE Lake, as though no other existed.
No water was SO blue, no pines so
sweet and spicy, no air SO fresh and
cool as that found at THE Lake.
Year after year found us there, luxu-
Rating in the air. the scenery, the
water--ths loyeliness OF Nature at her

canoe or rowboat were enliyened by
the music OF "the pied frogs orcbes-

chirping of the crickets. the distant
note of the whip-poor-will and all the
threbbing voices of Natures SYM

night. Strange as it may seem. John
