GOOD EVENING

Nothing could be done for VII
mirgton so promising as the pre-
posed grading and paving 2f Chris
tiana avenue at least eighty feet
vide from Head street 70 the
Delaware.
We have urged this before. We
hardly expected II 50 soon and
the Highways Commission should
receive the thanks u every VII
mington and Delaware woman
and, man.
There will be nearly three miles
a actual frontage On this avenue.
OF course il viii do what is said
by the Highways Commission IL
will put all Delaware water fronts
in touch with all the rest Of Dela-
ware. II is a compliment, . great
compliment to the vision of the
men who are promoting cur high
ways.
There are three trunk lire rail-
roads in touch with this avenue
and a mile unoccupied Of the best
water front on the Christina
nearer the Delaware with the deep
est water and with the avenue conn-
pleted we predict tftat Wilmington
will get manufacturing sites.
AS 3 contribution 70 our port
ambitions this improved avenue
cannot be overestin1ated. IN any
event docks al the site selected
would have been useless without
a good road. and il IS refreshing
indeed to know that when the
docks are ready the roads will be
al ready.
Not the least encouraging as
pect Of this most flattering project
IS the indication that we are now
working with a plan which cor
templates Delaware as a whole.
Delaware men are getting too blg
to see the little State made smaller
by dividing IL.
We can see the time approach
ing when Delaware people will sec
anything that is dorie for Delaware
for good, is all for all Delawsre's
coed.
Ten years from now there should
BE- no marshes between Whining
ton and New Castle. The great
impetus thst this improved avenue
viii give Wilmington should oe
watched as il goes, and the lesson
il teaches should be taken TO heart.
We will be surprised If all that
frontage on Christiana avenue IS
not taken UP in five years after
the avenue IS complete.
We have a great deal Of talk and
q great deal Of knocking and a
great deal of boosting, but IN
proving that road is what we call
real action. and il will silence the
knockers because IL IS the only
boosting which is more substan-
tial than smoke
The State Highways Comnis-
sion IS not only doing something
big for Wilmington ard Desa-
ward. it is teaching Wilmington
how to do big things for Itself.

1a1 IDE-AWAKE WICKES, is the way they call IW it now in speaking of the town Wickes is going ahead at rapid stride and before the close of 1920 the population in and around the town is very likely to be doubled.
 Push and prosperity are the watchwords of the Wickes business men, and all of them are pulling Together to develop the vast resources of that portion of Polk county which the town serves.
 Recently it was decided that Baker Springs, a future great watering place, twelve miles east of Wickes, should be given boost, and Wickes men are now behind hard-surfaced road proposition which is to be built right away. The community realizes the value of good roads and will not let the matter of little tax stand in the way of great improvement.
 A. c. Higginbottom, w B. Thomas, Col. c. H. Jett C. H. Jett, Jr and other live wires of Wickes are determined that effort will be spared

WICKES

to let the world know what nature has done for Wickes and it's environs
 Wickes in finely located in very productive part of Polk county. Its elevation above sea lev ei is about eleven hundred feet and the landscape is extremely pleasant and diversified.
 The soil is largely composed of rich black oam, and is adapted to almost any sort of agriculture. It is a great fruit region and annually many cars of peaches apples berries, cantaloupes, and other proGdets of the soil find their way to market from Wicks
 The enumerator of the 1920 census for the Wickes district tells of one berry raiser who off of seven acres of blackberres netted $1250 profit for the 1919 crop.
 Wickes has wonderful future in store for it, and the best part of the matter is that it's people realize the fact, and that is the reason why the town has to be called Wide-awake Wickes.
