DUPONT Company ample notice 10 va
cate The structure, which is 10 be torn
down as soon as possible, 10 be re-
placed by the Rodney Square Park, but
gave tho government no direct notice,
not considering them as tenants The

Smyrna times., 1919-05-14

We are glad to note that the citi-
zens of Smyrna have awakened to the
matter of fitting for their rights in
the matter of rail service. President
L. NJ. Price, at the instance of Smyr-
ma Town Council, has appointed a
committee of representative business
men to go before the superintendent
of the Delaware Division and on up
to higher authorities, if necessary, to
head off any move to further curtail
the train service of Smyrna Branch
Railway, or to discontinue the passen-
ger trains altogether Smyrna is too
important, too progressive town to
be ignored. That the railroad never
touched Smyrna town limits in the
first place, making Smy1na-Clayton
all one town, is no fault of the pres
ent generation. Smyrna, despite this,
has grown, and for town of modern
and up-to-date municipal convenien-
ces, is not to be exceeded by any
town its size in the State. Let US
hope the committee will be successful
in their efforts with the railroad au-
thorities to have Smyrna given the
best service possible and that the
trains taken off, be restored. Smyrna
wants the railroad service and the
Railroad Company needs to cater
to both passenger and freight of
Smyrna. The committee, no doubt
will fight for our rights. Success to
them.
Smyrna times., 1919-05-14

Smyrna made a wonderful drive
in the Victory Loan Campaign and
much credit is due the chairman of
both the mems and women's commit
tee for their untiring efforts in put
ting Smyrna across. And Smyrna
did go cover the top" Yes, by $780,
700. With a quota of $238,OOO, the
high water mark was reached Satur-
day night by the ringing of bells and
raising of the honor flag, and kept
on going until the magnificent sum of
$288,7O0 was subscribed. Not once
in all the five Liberty Loan drives
did Smyrna fail in reaching her
quota, a record that can be looked
too with pride. When the story of
this awful war become history, gener-
ations rising up in this locality car
always know that Smyrna did its BIZ
with loyalty and patriotism.
Smyrna times., 1919-05-14
YOUR TOWN

Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest some one else gets ahead;
When every one works and nobody shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if while you make your personal stake
Your neighbor makes one too,
Your town will be what you want it to be,
1t isn't your town-it's you'll
If you want to live in the kind of a town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You will only find what you left behind.
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's knock at yourself when you knock your
town,
1t isn't your town, it's you!
Helen Perkins, in New York Sun
Smyrna times., 1919-05-14

Now that Smyrna Town Council
has shown itself to be a progressive
body in giving Smyrna much needed
municipal improvements, let US hope
they will be equal to handling the
much-mooted dog question. Some
thing sure ought to be done. The
town is literally run over with worth
less ours. Don't wait until an out
break of hydrophobia compels action,
but provide some way to enforce the
dog law. Some favor a dog tax.
Well, if this will aid in exterminating
the worthless dogs, let's have it. The
dog nuisance is one of the worst
Smyrna has to contend with.

If you would help Smyrna get pro-
per railroad credit for passenger
traffic, meet or discharge your fam
lily or friends at the Smyrna Station,
when using the trains north or south.
Tickets for Smyrna not taken up by
the conductor on Smyrna branch, re-
ceive no credit, and tickets for Will
mington or Philadelphia not pur-
chased in Smyrna but at Clayton, go
to the credit of Clayton, and not
Smyrna. Help Smyrna retain rail-
road facilities and get better service
by patronizing Smyrna Branch. You
owe it to your town to give it this

The Moon and the crops.-We TAX

The Moon and the Crops.-We take
from the Covington, Tenn, Leader the
following, which originally appeared in
The Southern Agriculturist and eX-
presses our sentiments on planting In
the moon:
Very many Of the people ] know are
governed in many of their activities
by the phases of the moon and the
signs" do not pay any attention to
the moon or the almanac and have as
good success as the best farmers VINO
do wait for the proper phase or sign.
Is there anything in moon farming
and have any tests ever been made to
find out IT. c. B., Cumberland county
Ky.
The only way the moon affects
agriculture is in the light it furnishes
to lengthen out the day at busy sea-
sons and to make necessary night
trips easily. The moon has no effect
that We know of on the growth of any
farm crops. and science does not find
that it figures the least little bit in
TIE growth of any plant. The time OF
PLANTING need not be governed by the
, moon. as IT has all of its phases in IS
DIS. and the crops will get to enjoy
new moon. full moon and all the other
rer'o6s several times during it's grow
inc period. The French tried extensive
experiments to learn if there could be
