EXPENDITURES


After the ~reahing of the minutes a
letter was read from Mr.. Ottens urging
the borough to spray the brush In the
low places in the spring in an effort to
lessen the crop OF mosquitoes. He said
if the borough would take up this mat
ter he would render assistance. The
letter was referred to the Drainage COM
mittee, composed of Anderson, Kraus
and Rauch. councilman Gus Chsrl-
son, who is working at Vineland, in a
letter resigned as a member of Council
because Of being away. The Mayor
appointed Louis Kraus, secre airy of the
carpenters union, TO fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Kraus is a highly respected young
man OF the Ottens tract district and a
prominent Odd Fellow, being grand
district deputy of Cape May county.
1t is regarded as a most excellent ap-
pointment. The appropriation ordi-
nance was introduced, the total of
which Is 81 600 less than last years.
This years amount is SIS, 903. A letter
was read from Mr.. Ottens in reference
to the laying of water pipes to connect
with the bungalows that he is building
in the outlying districts. A letter in
reference to the stalking of the inland
waterway was referred to Collector
Peterson. 1t has been the habit of the
authorities of the State to stake these
waters in the summe in time for the
pleasure seeker, but too late to be of
benefit to the spring fishermen who
use the waters. An effort will be
made to have the stalking done earlier
and you may look for Collector Peter
son to get results. AS a former fisher
man he knows the need of it, and says
many a boat load of fish would be
saved by an earlier stalking, as well as
many anxious hours of the fisherman
in trying to follow the channel back in
the sounds in the chilly days Of the
spring time when the fish begin TO
run in April. Provision vas made for
the issuance of $500 worth of fire GER
tificates instead of $1,000, as the ap-
paratus will not cost as much as ex-
pected. A quit claim deed was ordered
issued to F. b: Sharp on a plot of land,
the taxes having been paid on same.
Council adjourned.

Too Much Business

Bridgeton parents, 1t is said, are COM
planning that their children have too
much outside business while going to
school. They say at least a quarter of
their time is taken UP with begging for
money for Victrolas and making inn
provemeDts to the school grounds.
One school has had the boys build an
ash pit so as to get the unsightly ashes
out of the way. Some teachers think
this work is a part of the education a
boy should have, but the parents do
not think so. These parents think the
few hours at school should be devoted
to study Of the educational branches for
which the schools were organized aud
that the Board of Education should
furnish the pianos, victrolas and ash
pits. These parents think that the
holding Of food sales is mercantile bust
ness and does not belong to the school.

Lewis Lehr, of the Mother Goose
company, came down to Wildwood last
Sunday 10 spend ahe day with his
mother, Mrs. s. Lehr, of East Wild
wood avenue. He was accom- panied
by his musical director, Arthur Knowl-
ton. They have been playing at the
leading vaudeville houses for the last
five weeks in Philadelphia, and are
now touring to the Pacific coast and
expect to be back in Wildwood at the
opening of the season. Several friends
called to see them and wished them
success on their tour. There was music,
singing and a banquet. Mr.. Lehr pre-
sented his mother with a handsome
gold, hand-carved pearl medallion pin,
which was a great surprise to his hap
py mother, as was also a set of beauti-
full photographs of himself, in both
natural and character poses. After the
visit they left for the Palace theatre,
Bethlehem, Pa.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
knowledge Of How to Keep Alive and
Well, Placed First In the List by
Herbert Spencer.

Herbert Spencer analyzed the differ
ent kinds of absolutely necessary,
knowledge after the following manner,
given In order of their Importance:
1. knowledge Of how to keep alive
and well.
2. knowledge Of work which gives
you means to live.
8. knowledge of how to rear chill
dren.
4. knowledge of your proper social
and political position.
s. knowledge of art and music and
Rmusements, etc.
It is feared there is a reverse often
and a disposition, for instance, to
put amusements and fashion ahead
Of the knowledge Of how to keep we'll.
1t is not entirely so. but there is in
fact a great deal OF morality in keep
ing well. IF. for instance, a young
lady goes thinlY clad to a midnight
dance and lunch. she has no right to
complain Of the weather or the food,
but Of her own lack Of knowledge
and resolution. But all the knowledge
recorded In the above list doesn't
amount to scum If there is no spirit
behind 1t to utilize it.-Columbus co.,
Journal.
Smyrna times., 1917-08-01

While some Councilmen favor
going ahead and doing permanent
work it is likely to wind up by
more patch work being done by
Smyrna Town Council on Commerce
street, despite the fact they have full
authority by act of Legislature to bor-
row money up to $25, 900 for street
work. The reason they give for tenn
porary repairs is the high cost of ma
terisl, &c., and have determined it
advisable to wait until after the war
when prices get back to normal before
attempting to do costly permanent
work. But what reason has Council
TO believe that prices will ever get as
cheap as the material used on Main
street. The expense of the work on
Commerce street is not or should not
be borne by the present generation.
What if it does cost more! Will not
the money spent on the temporary
work pay the difference in interest on
the money necessary to borrow for
permanent work. even at wartime
prices? 1t would seem Council had
had enough experience with wasting
money on patch work. Commerce
street is not so wide that permanent
work will bankrupt the town. Then
let US have it. Build for the future
as well as the present. This is real
economy in the long run. Our fine
brick Main street is an object lesson
in this direction. 1t has cost in up
keep practically nothing in its ten
years use while Commerce street, has
worn and been patched up and resur-
faced several times. And now some
members of Council want to do it
again.
Smyrna times., 1917-08-01

With six negative votes the Senate
has passed the so-called food control
bill which confers broad powers upon
President Wilson. For many days
the Senate has wrangled over the
measure, it has been amended again
and again so that it is almost entirely
different from the Lever bill as it
came from the House OF Representa-
tives. The measure will now be put
in conference. The bill as passed by
the Senate is not what the President
desired. Mr.. Hoover is not to be a
sole "foOd dictator. 1" In place of
one man power there is to be board
of three, one of whom must be an ac-
tive farmer. The senators, therefore.
who so bitterly opposed Mr.. Hoover
have won their point The President.
however, is to select the chairman of
the controlling board and doubtless he
will name Mr.. Hoover. Whether the
new plan will work as we'll as that
suggested by the President remains to
be seen. The bill provides for the
regulation of foods, fuel and feeds.
Hoarding and speculation are prohib-
tied. The President is authorized
when he thinks necessary to fix a re.
sonable price for coal and coke and
a minimum price for wheat, $500 a
bushel. This price is mandatory if
the President decides on price fixing.
Thus the real power is placed with
the President and he is to use his dis
erection in acting under the law.

Light on the tremendous losses of
the war is shed by statement of the
President of the parliamentary com
mittee of the French Chamber of De-
.puties at dinner given him by the
American Club in London recently.
He said that up to a month ago
France had sacrificed one-third
of her manhood in either killed or
wounded, and that Russia had lost
about three millions. Figures of the
losses of the Canadian troops tell the
same story. The latest statement
shows the casualties among the Can
adian troops in France almost keep
pace with the recruiting of men at
home. The French deputy added that
his country was now feeling the need

The "wet" and "drY" registra-
tion in the City of Wilmington and
rural New Castle County for the COM
ing special election this fall made a
gratifying showing on the first day.
The "dry" forces openly state that
the list shows they have their share.
The "wet" forces took little interest
in the registration. The sentiment
of the times is strongly for prohibi-
tion. The Government of the United
States is putting a curb on it in these
war times. But despite this, the
authority to vote on the question and
the opportunity given the citizens of
Wilmington and rural New Castle
County to legislate the licensed saloon
out of business, will no doubt be taken
advantage of. There are enough good
citizens to win the day and it be-
hooves every one to get registered
and prepare to vote for "no license''
this November.

NEW SET OF COMMANDMENTS
~'-Thou Shalt Give Every Man 4 Square
Deal" Declared the Greatest
3


by the Author.
Thou shalt not wait for something to
turn up, but thou shalt pull off thy
coat and go to work that thou mayest
prosper In thy affairs and make the
word failure" spell success"
Thou shalt not be content to go
about thy business looking like a
loafer, for thou shouldst know thy
personal appearance is better than a
letter of recommendation.
Thou shalt not try to make excuses,
nor shalt thou say to those who chide
thee, II didn't think"
Thou shalt not wait to be told what
thou shalt do, nor in what manner thou
shalt do 1t. for thus may thy days
be long on the job which fortune hath
given thee.
Thou shalt not fail to maintain thine
own integrity, DOR shalt thou be guilty
of anything that will lessen thy good
report for thyself.
Thou shalt not covet the other fel-
lows job, nor his salary. nor the pO~
sit1on that he hSth gained By his own
hard labor.
Thou shalt not fail to live within
thy income, nor shalt thou contract
any debts when thou canst not see thy
way clear to pay them.
Thou shalt not be afraid to blow thy
own horn, for he who faileth to blow
his own horn at the proper occasion
flndeth nobody standing ready to blow
It for him.
Thou sha4t not hesitate to say "No"
when thou meanest mo-" nor shalt
thou fail to remember that there are
times when 1t is unsafe to bind thyself
by a hasty judgment.
Thou shalt give every man a square
deal. This Is the last and great COM
mandment, and there Is no other like
unto it. Upon this commandment
hang all the nws and profits Of the
business world.-Yeoman Battle Ak.
