TODAY is YOUR DAY.
Yesterday Is Only a Record and To-

Yesterday Is Only Record and To-
morrow Is a Secret.
While walking in the streets one is
often greeted with the cheerful re-
mark, Its a nice day" Good days
and bad days exist only in the mind.
The weather has nothing to do with
it. Each day is what we make it.
Suppose you get the word that your
salary has been doubled or that for
gotten uncle has left you S1.00O.0O0.
What do you care about the weather
then? or suppose the person you love
is dying Unexpectedly turn for the
better comes. The doctor SAYS your
dear one will live. What if it is hotter
than Tophet? 1t is a good day. great
day. a happy day. 1t is what we think
and feel about it that makes each day
what il is.
Put down in the notebook Of your
soul the poet Runeberg's thought
Each day is life When you get up
in the morning throw back your shoul-
ders. take deep breath and meet the
new day like a man. Say to yourself.
Another day, another lifew For all
we know it may be the only day we
shall ever have. Let US make it the
best day we can. Let US strive to
make It a day worth while, TO move a
step forward in our work, do all the
good we can, get all the happiness we
can today.
Right now is the only time you can
control Yesterday is a record. To
morrow Is 4 secret. Today is yours
and mine.-Philadelphia Press.

Eaypt,s Famo1s M6saue.

Egypt was long ruled by sultans, one
Of whom has given his name to what
some consider the finest specimen Of
Saracenic architecture in the world.
This is the mosque of Sultan Hassan,
the pride of modern Cairenes, which
was built about 1860, partly with stone
taken from the pyramids. So delight
ed was the sultan with the beauty Of
the design that he cut OFF the right
hand Of the architect to prevent him
building a rival edfice. In the walls
there are, or were, some cannon balls
fired from the neighboring citadel dur
ing the French invasion Of Egypt.

LAMPS KEEP BURGLARS AWAY.

A tiny electric lamp on the front porch.

prowlers and burglars away because no
thief cares to take a chance in the light.
They need darkness and black shadows

power lamp for the front porch, and
another on the rear porch, can be turned
on all night for few cents a month.

For years the Levy Court of Kent
County has permitted breaking of the
laws under which that body operates in
sofar as the appointment of Collectors
and Constables are concerned. The law
clearly states, and it has always so stated,
that no Tax Collector shall be eligible
for reappointment until he shall have
paid into the treasury all the money on
the tax duplicates which were placed in
his hands for collection for any proceed
ing year But this has been ignored un-
der direction of the bosses and by the
acquiesence of the members of the Kent
County Levy Court in several instances
in past years. This is true as to the
constables also. Each constable must
pay over all the fines and forfeitures in
his hands, and the receipt given by the
County Treasurer therefor, must be filed |
with the State Auditor, who must notify |
the various Levy Courts of the standing |
of each Constable in the State, before |
any one of them can be reappointed to |

been either ignored or overlooked, but
let us hope that a new ear of regard for
existing laws has come to Kent County
as well as for the other counties in
Delaware The real reforms needed in
county government in Delaware, is not
new laws altogether, but an earnest de-
sire and effort to carry into effect the
laws already on the statutes. That is
what the Comptrollers were created for;
but for some reason that fact has not
percolated through their brains to an ex-
tent which has brought any real effort to
bring this state of affairs about. Lets all
get after the Civic Leagues effort to get
better results in our government of all
kinds, from state down to town affairs.
Milford chronicle., 1915-05-14

IL several parts of Kent county espec-
tally excellent results have been had
from splitlog dragging the roads just
after a rain, and before the road gets
dry. This has made the roads smooth
and comfortable to travel over, and now
that farmers are generally buying auto
mobiles, they will appreciate the econ
omy of having the roads level. One team
can split-log drag FIVE miles of road in
one day, and three horses and one man
will do the work comfortably-if the man
knows how to do it at all. The roads in
most cases do not need scraping with
road scrapers, which cost money to oper- |
ate and require much team to draw them. |
The split-log drags cost less to operate,
get better results (after the roads are /
once graded and their first cost is only
a nominal outlay Of money for them.
The State Sentinel last week in COM
menting upon good roads, said
Concrete roads are still more expen-
sive, but many engineers regard them as
economical, because they are really per
manent, and the annual cost of main
tainance is not great. Sand clay roads
are not very expensive and are satisfac-
tory if kept in good shape, as they can
be, with very little expense where the
traffic is light Many of our roads could
be improved wonderly by the use of the
split-log drag and of wide tires on heavy
wagons The Kansas Industrialist has
the following. which is as good for Della
ware as for Kansas
When the smiles of spring appear,
Drag the roads
When the summer time is here,
Drag the roads;
When the corn is in the ear,
In the winter cold and drear,
Every season Of the year, :
Drag the roads. !
When you've nothing else to do $

tions are that some OF the fastest

finish with good horses on a good
track, and as Memphis will have botl
Of them during fair week, the craving
Of even the most rabid race horse far

Thinking

Grew men really think, although
each would deny the accusation.
Although man is supposed to be a
rational thinking animal, thinking
lbs actually the hardest work aud the
rarest he does. We hear a thing,
ordinarily. and Immediately form
an opinion about it. Usually self.
interest is at the bottom Of oar con.
clusloos. We are told, for instance,
that woman suffrage Is a good thing
aud we ought TO have law allow
ing women to vote. Do we look
into the matter? Do we study the
Arguments for and against woman's
suffrage? 1t is the same with the
tariff, prohibition, the unions, the
Mexican situation, the European
war, in fact everything we have
anything 70 do with. How much
more rational IT would be TO hold
up our judgment on question un.
iii we have had an opportunity to
study 1t from every angle. Then
form an opinion and stand or TALL
by that opinion, ,until we learn
something Of winch We have been
in ignorance that might change our
minds Oh The subject. Not 70 be
open to conviction Is pig headed.
Narrowuess is the bane of our
hole system Of civilization. Let
your mnd be open to every argu,

School Pupils Savings

The constant drive for "thrift"
Ia having effect not only among the
older people, but among school
children, as seen by the report Of
SIXTY one saving banks formed in As
many Chicago public schools last
year. The report shows that 1868
children saved 27,ll5.94, and of
this amount sll, ,2OO.9O has been
transferred 70 regular banks. SIX
pupils of the seventh aud eighth
grades conduct the banks. Any
sum from five cents up may be de.
posted, and as soon as a pupils ao-
count amounts 70 90 1t Is transierr-
ed TO a regular bank and an account
with the pupil is opened. Ii is
reasonable to suppose that rural
schools will adopt the teaching OF
thrift ss a subsidiary course. The
money could be deposited IN the
local banks IN savings departments
to pay three or three and one,half
per cent interest. When the &C.
count amounts to $50 It could be
withdrawn and a 500 bond paying
four and four and half or five per
cent could be bought. Many re-
.putable bond houses will sell a
hundred dollar bond on the INSTALL
ment plan, paying the full amount
of interest on the amount deposited
until the face value Of the bond Is
paid in full.
