THINNING PEACHES FOR PROFIT

II is a common mistake for orchardsts
to assume that in seasons when fruit
promises to be plentiful it is unprofit-
able to give that attention to the trees
which will insure the best grade of pro-
duct. In a season of abundant produc-
ton, as the present one seems likely to
be with respect to the peach crop, the
high grade product is the only one that
will command reasonable prices, while
in poor years any kink of stock is sal
able. AS applied to fruits this year,
this rule means that fruit of superior
quality may prove to be the only kind
that will pay for the picking.
Peach trees properly thinned in June
are apt to produce as.many baskets of
fruit as similar trees unthinned, because
the fruit left to mature grows to a
much larger size. Trimmed fruit is less
apt to suffer from the brown rot than
fruits that touch each other on the
trees, even when no apray treatment is
given, and spray treatments designed
to control the rot are more effective be-
cause they take effect on all parts of
all the fruits.

new BANK CASHIER
Mr.. Robert Douglas Has Succee ded
Mr.. James Davis
MR.. JOLLS ELECTED TELLER

The Transcript, always glad tC
chronicle the worthy deeds of Delaware 5
youth, is especially pleased at the well.
deserved promotion of Mr.. Robert
Douglas to the posit ons of Cashier of
the Peoples Bank to fill the vacancy
made by the resignation of the former
Cashier, Mr.. James DAVIS.
Mr. Douglas has earned his promotion
by nine long and faithful years of SER
vice in the Banks employ. he having
filled the positions of clerk, assistant
teller and teller. He thus comes to his
new honor with all the experience and
knowledge of the Banks business and
customers necessary to successful ad-
ministration of the responsible position
to which it has elevated him.
Mr.. Douglas who formerly lived in
Odessa, is gentleman of fine character,
excellent abilities and possessed, more
over, of those agreeable personal char
acteristics which make him friends
everywhere. The Transcript feels as
sured, that its "wsh that is father to
the thought" for his success, will find in
the future ample fufillment
The Transcript is further gratifed at
being able to tell the story of two more
Middletown ''boys" who are making
good in banking, - Messrs. Nowland E.
Letherbury and John j. Jolls.
Mr.. Letherbury came to the Bank as
assistant teller a year ago, and has
proved so efficient that he has been
promoted to fill the position of teller in
the place of Mr.. Douglas.
Mr.. John j. JOlls, who has at various
times been temporarily in the employ
of the Peoples Bank has been elected
their regular assistant teller. Mr.. Jolls'
experience in the Court House will also
stand him in good stead in making
valuable officer in the bank.
These two young men also have fine
abilities and stand deservedly high in
our community, and the Transcript
never doubts but they also will give ex=
cellent accounts of themselves in their
respective stations.

Let the Juniors Play

The Transcript hears that some of
the Athletic Directors have refused to
let the Juniors use the ball grounds
Monday morning because there will not
be time enough after the game is over
to dress up the grounds for the after
noon games.
The Transcript thinks this is a mis-
take. The Juniors agree to close their
game at 11.30, which will allow ample
time to repair the trifiing damage done
the field.
The Juniors are quite as much entit-
led to use the grounds as theN geniors,

ton should bar them therein.

DISSATISFACTION

Dissatis faction is not uncommon in
this life, Indeed. there are very few
of US who are really satisfied with what
we have, but on the contrary, we are con-
tinually drawing contrasts and making
comparis ons and displacing resentments
and doing all those many mean little
things which add to our own bitterness
and increase the discomfort of others.
When our dissatisfaction with life is il
lustrated by petty jealousy and un-
reasonable resentment we are merely
exhibiting "a narrow viewpoint and an
intolerant spirit, and such manifesto
tions on our part do not in the least in
dicate that we merit the good fortune
we crave, or that we would know how
to benefit by it if we possessed it. There
is, however, another kind of dissatis-
faction which always reacts to our ad-
vantage 1t is founded not on jealously
of others, but on an ever increasing am
bition to surpass our own efforts. 1t is
evidenced by restlessness which finds
expression in greater activities and re-
newed efforts, and it exerts wonderful
influence for good not only upon our
selves, but upon all those with whom
we may be associated. 1t is a good sign
because it tells of growth and expansion.
A man who is easily satisfied and who is
content to keep to old ruts never grows.
He has already reached the limit of his
possibilities as far as his ambition is
concerned, and without the influence of
the latter quality it is impossible to de-
velop properly.

'tDry" Year Reduces Arrests

CHARLEsTOwN, w. Va, June 20
Enforcement of the prohibitory laws,
which became operative a year ago,
have cut the number of arrests in 35
towns and cities throughout West Vir-
ginia more than one-half, according to
statistics made public by the Depart
ment of Prohibition today.
During the fiscal year 1914, the last in
which saloons were legal, arrests in
these communities numbered 14,000, of
which approximately one-half were for
intoxication. During the fiscal year of
1915, the first in which saloons were pro
hibited, arrests numbered 6,986, of
