One year has passed, our hearts still

A FINE RECORD

Chief Of Police Hilyard deserves a
tin ''showar" from the town ard public
he has served so we'll for these ten
years just passed sine August II, 1910.
! when he was appointed. A blessed de-
cade it has been with its surcease of
bum, drunken police chiefs and all the
trouble and in efficiency of some of
his predecessors.
At lisk of his life on several occasions
and at cost of actual injuries .'eceived
in a number. of instances, chief has
with unremitting fidelity kept watch
and ward over our citizens end their
property during all these ten years
gone. The Transcript believes it not
only wise thing for public reasons to
make some recognition of such long
and faithful service but also due him as
mere matter of justice, and therefore
takes this means of expressing on its
own and the Towns behalf its appre-
citation of The Chief and his fine record.
In these ten years Chief Hilyard has
made 5000 arrests; committed 357 con-
victs to the workhouse; and collected
$4,000 in fines for the ;own. The
magnitude of this servi merely
measured in dollars of the fines collect
ed, is realized when one compares it
with the Is years previous in which two
and one half times longer period only
SOS. 90 were collected in fines by his
predecessors
This is record fine enough to make
the Chiefs hat burst its baLd-only his
head never swells-another good point.

mortal eyes could have discerned him,
and OF whom He said, "Behold an Is

He preached the Gospel in Arabia and
India, travelled through Asia, and
finally settled in a city of Armenia;
where he was most cruelty martyred by
the idolatrous people whom he had tried
to turn to the faith of Christ, fayed

Let US try to initiate the example of his
ready faith and patient obedience, that
we may be ''faithful over a few

The Rector asks every communicant
to assist him in securing candidates for
confirmation. Some have god-chiIdren
whom they have vowed to bring to the
Bishop to be confirmed by him as soon
as they can say the creed, the Lord g
Prayer and the Ten Commandments,
and are sufficiently instructed in the
other parts of the Church Catechism
set forth for that purpose. Shame if
the consecrated vow be found an idle
form, the word an empty sound ! Many,
too, have adult friends who might be
brought to confirmation, if they were
interested in the church and her teach
ings.
LAS Man Thinketh. 1t is a prac-
tical doctrine, and it is very beneficial
practice to think of whatsoever things
are lovely" in the lives of others. 1t
is as sensible as it is to thrive on the
finest of wheat instead of starving the
body by chewing worthless husks. A
mans soul becomes small if it is fed on
mean thoughts that cannot satisfy its
natural longings for wholesome medita-
tion and ennobling hopes. 1t cannot be
otherwise. If a flower doesn't get sun
shine it soon fades. So it is with the
life of an individual Life must be radi-
ated by the cheerful sunshine of love
for God and neighbors in order to be-
come beautiful; and more noble still is
the life that is enriched by Christ-like
love for enemies as well. The results
are as logical as they are evident. St.
Paul gave sound advice when he said,
"if there be any virtue, if there be any
praise, think on these things" Good
thoughts are wise investment, be-
cause, "As man thinketh, so he is. !"

Milk Law May Take Months

Not for many weeks, perhaps three
months, will all the cows in Delaware
have been tested for tuberculin faint,
according to statements made by the
State Board of Health officials. While
the law requiring that all cows shall
have been tested showing freedom
from tuberculosis, or else have the
milk pasteurized that producers sell
from their herds, became effective
August l. yet because of the inability
to test all the herds by this time, the
State BOARD will not be able to enforce
the test certificates for considerable
time.

NEW INSECT FOUND

Members of the Delaware State
Board of Agriculture visited Riverton,
N. j., this week to secure first hand in
formation about the Japanese beetle.
This insect must have come over in
earth on the roots of imported plants.
For the past two years every effort has
been made by State and Federal ento-
mologists to prevent its spread. and it
has been confined to an area of about
so square miles, so far as can now be
determined, not including small lnfes.
tation that apparently was carried
across the river by the tide into Penn
sylvania.
The beetle spends the most of its time
as grub in the ground where it does
little harm; but in the latter part of
June and during July it comes out as a
bright green beetle with rusty brown
wing covers, and feeds on the leaves of
fruit and forest trees, eats some fruit
and is especially fond of the silk of
corn. 1t is possible that its greatest
damage will be to the last named crop,
for if the silk is eaten, the grains of
corn will not be pollenized and there
fore. will not fill.
It is difficult to kill the insect by
spraying, but Investigations are in prog
ress to discover an effective spray ma
terial. The most hopeful thing in sight
is to import from Japan, insects that
will eat the pest, and parasites that
will kill it. Already very voracious
beetle has been imported in consider
able numbers and has been distributed
in the infested area. This beetle lives
in the ground and feeds on the eggs
and grubs of this Japanese beetle. The
hope is to keep the pest confined within
its present extent that they can control

the history of medicine is very close
Nv allied to the history of mankind.
In studying both the history of civil
ization and of medicine we find that
in the perlod of retrogression in civil
ization there is also recorded period
of retrogression in medicine. This
ran be expected after consideration
when il comes to our minds that
when civilization advances there is
when development of mans men
