Mrs. Bear looked up at Blacky. and

Of something very like amusement.
Then she dropped down and. instead

Btacky and Sammy Jay than if they

talk it over and wonder why they
had failed to frighten Mrs. Bear. They
couldn't understand it at all.
DO you suppose some one has told
her that we had planned to scare her
out of the Green Forest?' asked
Sammy.

She acted as If she knew just what
we were doing"
All the time Mrs. Bear was chuc-
king to herself as she dug out roots
and ate them. Those scamps thought
they could scare me-" she muttered.

JUST FOLKS
THE BEST ARE BACK.
BY Edgar A. Guest,

1t was easy in the old days and the
bitter days TO shirk--
The best of all the nation had been
called away from work
We could hold our various places with
Indifferent service then,
But today the war is over and our best
is back again.
We had little competition with our
soldier boys away;
The slouthful and the lazy could com
mand a masters pay,
But the idler S days are over; we are
done with methods slack,
For the finest of the country and the
best we have are back.
They who fought to save the nation
have returned TO do it's work;
There's a good man and a true mar
now to crowd out every shirk.
Oh, / don't know how to say it but II
seems to me somehow
That it's up to every one of us tC
start TO hustle now.
We must bend our backs TO labor and
the pleasures we must shun.
We must give the best that's in US Il
the duties TO be done.
Now the test is one of merit as j
used to be Of yore
And it's goodbye to the loafers for oul
best is home once more.

THE CHICAGO FIRE.

for Chicago owes much to that fire.

Imagination upon the physical city
How far afield the fancy might run!
Chicago would have grown without
the fire. but would Il have made the
strides Il has made2 Undoubtedly
there would be still standing IN the
loop district some of the old buildings
which mercifully for Chicago the fire
destroyed. Many of the structures
that rose upon the ruins are still In

Public improvements of every char
acter received an impetus from the
fire With the business district wiped
out. II was possible 10 establish new
grades and put into force ordinances

been years In coming.
The useless and indiscriminate de-
atruction of property by FIRE cannot
be justified or condoned, but the cause
of civic advancement and of civliza-
ton itself has more than once been
materially hastened by holocaust
which showed men and women an op-
portunity and a duty which they had
not seen. Chicago is the best evidence

NO DIsARMING TO ORDER.

President Harding Is reproached by
some for warning against hopes OF the
Washington conference pitched too
high. But his reminders af the diff
flculties in it's way are both timely and
sound. There can be no disarming
simply by wishing to disarm A vague
emotion, no matter how sincere, in
favor of laying down arms all around
will not of itself lead to anything. The
great question cannot be settled by a
series of resolves on paper. nor by del
egates of the powers saying: Go to,
let US disarm the whole world from
this day forth" The causes of war,
the fear of war. the motives to war,
must be got rid of before war itself
can be abolished. And as a prudent
forecast of the Washington confer
ence would be that, even If highly sue
lcessful, 1t can remove these causes and
fears and motives only in part, the
disarming which may result can be
but a beginning.
II one wills the end, ne must also
will the means to it, That is true of
all human endeavors, and it is true of
measures of statesmanship. 1t is a
very tough and concrete problem
which the Washington conference will
undertake 10 solve. To bring en-
thusiasm to 1t is we'll To invoke hu-
name and religious fervor in it's be-
half Undesirable. But the actual work
to be done is immensely arduous and
can be got through only by statesmen
willing to face all the facts and able to
find a way to harmonic conflicting
national interests and to induce their
own countries to abate something of
their pride and their ambitions. That
is no easy task. and those who are
essaying it would be foolish to boast
while putting on their armor.
Excellent intentions are of no avail
unless the people putting them for
ward are ready to take the steps nee
essary to carry them out. President
Harding might well ask his emotional
advisers if they are prepared to sur
render something to Japan. are willing
to make sacrifices in aid of China. are
disposed TO give full recognition to the
| special interests of Great Britain and
France and Holland in the Orient. II
not, it is perfectly idle for them to ex-
press ardent vows for disarming.-

tion to Wilmington Every Evening for
the very kind editorial notice 1t gave

encourage us and urge us on to even
greater efforts We shall endeavor 20
deserve the kind words Every Evening
has given us. and TO continue to hold
the esteem of that newspaper which
its editorial evinces,
The management of the Delaware
State News has always endeavored to
give its readers the best weekly news
paper possible within it's limitations,
and that shall always continue to be
its policy.
We sincerely hope Every Evening

good opinion Of The Delaware state
News and its publisher.
