ONE OF THE MOST peculiar ses-
sions Of the Delaware Legislature
closes with today. Without organized
policy on the part CT the Republican
majority in the House of Represen-
tatives, and lacking one vote of the
two-thirds of the membership, the
session has been brought to a close
with much legislation along general
lines accomplished and part of this
is the enactment of the new School
Code after the most bitter effort was
made to prevent it becoming a law.
The reform laws, which were to have
been made for Kent county, failed to
get thru, with the exception of the Re
ceiver of Taxes and the County Treas
urer law. 1t was generally expected
that the assessment laws for Kent
county would be changed so that an
equitable and just assessment of Ken
county could be made and have all |
property in all the counties OF Della
ware assessed on the same plan and |
approximately alike thruout the State. |
But, the vigorous fight made by the
Democrats against the change of the
present Levy Court system in Kent
county won a victory thru the aid Of
Republicans in the House refusing to
carry out the desires of the Republi-
cans of Kent county by voting against
he bills. While there was much which
was not done, it is matter of con-
80 :;;::!!att;cii that that 80 muUiI wnicn VIII
be Of real benefit to the educational
system of Delaware was accomplished.

SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL

Rev. Charles Atkins Of Lincoln is hav-
ing a wonderful revival at that place.
These services began the first of Feb
ruary after a prolonged series of sue
cessful meetings at Slaughter Neck. and
after the young preach had passed infu-
enza and pneumonia. Yet, nothing daunt-
ed, he opened the services and preches.
prays and sings tireessly night after
night When urged by friends to spare
himself for health's sake, he ever and
always answers: Il can't rust out, for If
1 work hard enough I expect to live as
long as my old grandfather who passed
his nineueth birthday" And these words
are always an inspiration to US for we
then remember tbs only the busiest
people who find time to do little more.
Men, women and children are being
converted under his ministry and great
has been his influence for good among
us. Slaughter Neck had splendid re-
ligious awakening and loud were the
shouts and triumphant hosannas as the
people turned their faces toward Zion.
Then, too, this place owes Mr. Atkins a
special debt Of gratitude for so taste
fully did he reconstruct and beautify the
church building that one feels glad to sit
within the four walls of the structure
and worship the God Of love and beauty.
Slaughter Neck Church is a lasting mem
orial TO the industry skill and religious
fervor Of the Rev. Charles Atkins. And
now Lincoln is having her people saved
There remains one church yet in his
province, Cedar Neck. This Is a historic |
old spot and once the old time religion |
made echo to the voices now stiled by |
DEATH but as the years have passed the |
church has suffered greatly as the young |
sr people failed to take the stand Of their I
'athers. The people of Cedar Neck are /
inxiOusly hoping that Mr.. Atkins be re-
turned for another year as they are
BADLY in need Of a revival at that church /

THE BILL WHICH REQUIRES the
unanimous vote of the members of the
Sussex County Levy Court to override
a veto by the Comptroller of this coun-
ty was passed by both branches of the
Legislature during the last hours of
the session on Tuesday night. This
bill was bitterly fought by the Demo-
cratic minority, and it was only at the
very last hour that the Republican
members could be brought to support
the measure. If the Comptroller is
TO have real controlling powers, then
he should be supported by laws which
enable him to be an effective official,
and this law certainly gives that
power. If he is wrong in his decisions.
then the unanimous vote of the Levy
Court can override such decision, as It
should be to bring about justice.

ARTHURS TO PAINT
DELAWARE PIONEF RS
Well-knOwn Wilmington Artist Conn
missiOned by State to Sketch
Troops in France

Stanley NJ. Arthurs. well-known Will
mington artist, has been commission
ed to go to France to plan for painting
a picture of the Delaware Pioneers,
which. when completed, will be hung
in the State House.
At the last session of the Legislature
Secretary of State Everett c. Johnson,
former Speaker Hervey P. Hall and
former President protein of the Sen
ate John A. Barnard were named
commission TO decorate the State
House with pictures outlining historic
events of the State.
This commission held a meeting at
the State House recently and gave Mr..
Arthurs the commission to go to
France to make drawings and sketches
of the Delaware soldiers. Through the
Secretary of States office the matter
of getting Mr.. Arthurs passports from
the State Department will be attended
to at once. While much depends on
conditions as Mr.. Arthurs finds them
in France the commission has made
two suggestions relative to the prOpos-
ed picture. One is of the Delaware sol
diers in the Lorraine district, which
was the home of Lafayette, and con-
sequently especially interesting to Del !
awareans. This is also near the birth |
place of Joan of Arc. The other sug-
gestion is of a picture of the Delaware |
soldiers keeping watch on the Rhine. |
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Ar
-hurs painted the picture which now
hangs in the Senate Chamber showing
Delaware soldiers leaving Dover
Green during the Revolutionary War
md which has attracted much atten-
ion, This picture is called THE Drum

the federal reserve bank had lost
none of their force.
A significant feature of the money
sltua ton was the report that many
purposes during the recent boom had
been transferred to middle western

This was due in part to the attitude
OF the federal reserve board and also
TO the fact that easier money rates
prevailed at several of these interior
points.

Fifty Years Without Loss to an Investor
Preparing for
Future Investment

The problem of investing surplus
money should be considered whether
you are in the market for an investment
at the present time or not. It is not wise
to wait until your money comes in to
seek for place to put it, as it is likely
you will lose interest in the interim.
Even if you are not in the present
market we would like to send you Our
booklet to acquaint you with the dis
tinctive features of our first mortgage,
go notes, so that you may learn their
advantages for some future time.

emily exists for the belief that at least
a lull in the country's labor troubles
may before long be witnessed, and the
psychological effect of the approach
of winter, when voluntary cessation of

seasons, is to be considered in this
connection.
