French call a denier resort, when
took to dahlias as an article of diet.
The Hollanders it seemed came to
the same conclusion, but realizing
its possibility as flower, proceeded
with their customary thoroughness
to develop the magnificent specimens
which we see today and you viii find
that many of the best sorts bear
such Dutch names as Fraulien, Budd,
Hortulanus, Fiet, Bertha Won SUIT
ner, etc. The French have been
fully as successful as their plodding
neighbors, their speciality being the
Cactus Dahlia, and in this division
you have such names as Madam
Cayeux, Marguerite Bouchon, Nam
selle Murbel, etc.
The history of the Dahlia is strik-
ingly paralleled by the story of some
of the old boys of Sterling town.
Left upon their native heath they
would probably have remained to
fortune and to fame unknown and
wasted their sweetness on the desert
air, but transplanted to more con-
genial chimes, blossomed into men of
affairs and consequence.
envy and applaud the boys and
girls who have the temerity, or the
enterprise to venture far afield in
search of a more felicitous environ
ment with larger opportunities for
service and advancement.
Had Lincoln remained content in
the little log cabin on Nolin creek,
he might possibly have become To-
cal magistrate or the constable of
his precinct, but he would never have
been president and only second to
Washington in the love and admira-
ton of his country men.
In Mexico the Dahlia is still a pig
my, while here it has been developed
into a giant, magnificent in form and
unsurpassed in coloring, the admir-
ed of all admirers and it is singu-
lar fact that the government of our
sister republic is this year asking the
department at Washington to send
back to the Country of its ances-
tors a sufficient quantity of our
highly developed flowers to grace the
parks and ornament the public gar
dens of their capital city.
Though the dahlia proved fail
ure as an article of food and was
promptly kicked out of the kitchen,
it has recently gained a place in
materia- medica and is being sue
cessfully used in the treatment of
malady that had been thought in
durable. This is quite a new adven-
ture and the possibilities are as yet
unknown. But Chemists believe they
have really found in the Dahlia root
valuable restorative.
AS | do not believe in my flowers
blushing unseen, | grow them where
my neighbors and the passersby can
view them and enjoy them. For
many people have neither time, tai
ent or opportunity to grow flowers
no matter how much they may love
and admire them.
If the rose in the garden over the
way
Beckons and mods the live long day,
If only to you its sweetness is shown,
If only for You its beauty is grown
What do you care what the world
may say
If your heart owns the rose just
over the way.

HOPE FOR NEW TRADE
DURING FAIR WEEK

Use of the coming Delaware State
Fair as a trade-getter for Whining
ton. is emphasized in a letter issued
to members OF the mercantile sec
tion of the Chamber of Commerce,
by Horace p. Warrington, chairman
of the section. The letter reads:
The week Of the Delaware State
Fair will offer to Wilmington mer-
chants. an exceptional opportunity
for the renewal of all business and
personal friendships with the thou
sands Of citizens of the rural COM
munities of the adjacent town and
will offer equal opportunity for max
ing new business and personal con-
nections.
1T is urged that every effort
should be made by all merchants to
develop these possibilities which will
have an instant and positive effect
upon local business conditions. Your
committee earnestly urges
that your advertising in rural papers
for the week beginning August rs
should be devoted in a large measure
to Delaware State Fair publicity
along these lines, and that your ad-
vertlsing in local papers during fair
week should aim at the same result.
THE united effort along this line,
we feel sure, will be decidedly ad-
to all concerned"

ROB Store AT
SUMMIT CAMP
Thieves Steal Goods of Will
liam S. Burris Valued
at $3.50
THINK ROBBERS
USED AUTOMOBILE

Evidently working with the idea
that the job should be done right.
thieves broke into the store OF v
liam S. Burris. at the main entrance
of the Brandywine Summit camp
grounds at AIS o'clock this morning
and practically cleaned out every
thing in the place. They took goods
valued at $3.50. Automobiles were
thought TO have been used in the
robbery as 1t would have been ir~.-
possible for one or two men to have
carried away without the aid of a
machine all that was in the store.
Entrance was gained by boring
holes in a weather board at the rear
of the store. With the holes made
the thieves were able to insert a
crow bar or some other tool and pry
the board off and crawl in.
Delaware county authorities were
notified OF the robbery and i'm
mediately sent detectives from Media
TO work on the case. It was said this
afternoon that they have a clue as
to the identity Of the robbers.
Mr.. Burris. owner of the store
lives at Elams Pa, and only operates
the store at the camp grounds in the
summer months.

WANT TO SAVE MONEY?
JOIN THE MARINES

Young men entering the service
Of the United States Marines are in
position to save money, according
to statistics compiled by Sergeant
Henry B. Anthony in charge of the
local Marine recruiting station, at
Sixth and Market streets. II a man
is of average intelligence he is al
most certain of receiving S21 a
month base pay. If he is a good
shot, his pay would be increased
SO; IL he should be assigned to for
.eign service. the pay would be in
creased about 81; If a clerk on spe-
cial work he would receive SIS in
addition to regular pay. making a
total Of about s45 a month. In ad-
dition there is an allowance of 33
cents day for clothes.
At the expiration of a three year
enlistment If a man has saved SIS
a month out Of his pay. he will re-
ceive, in addition to transportation
home and clothing allowance, s54O
plus 4 per cent interest which taken
as a whole viii amount to about
$500. According to the statistics
compiled by Sergeant Anthony. these
figures are based on the assumption
that the man has received no ad-
vancement to a higher rank, in
which case he could save more in
proportion to his increased pay.

Gentlemen:
"At a meeting of the Board OF
Health on August IS. it was deemed
advisable that the board should
again bring to the attention of your
honorable body the very unsatisfac-
tory and inefficient collection of gar
bage in this city and it hereby sub
mits the following information
Il. That the garbage contractor
signed a contract with the city OF
Wilmington on May 25, 1921. for the
collection Of wet garbage and pur-
chased watertight body truck equip
ment for that purpose.
20. That on or before April 1.
1922, an ordinance was passed by
the Council and approved by the

sanitary expert of Johns Hopkins
University, made to the Hon. Leroy
Harvey, Mayor, on the collection and
disposal Of garbage. etc. in this city.
of September 26th. 1921, on page
twenty-one, paragraph three; with
reference to the change in method
recommended for handling the gar
bage and rubbish in bennington, it
is only fair that an equitable finan-
cial adjustment of the price paid the
contractor for collecting garbage
should be made if he is to collect
wrapped garbage and combustible
rubbish together instead of wet gar
bage alone
"a That the wrapped garbage or
dinance has nearly doubled the guam
tity or bulk of garbage to be col
lected, so that the equipment pro-
vded to collect wet garbage is
wholly insufficient to collect the
wrapped garbage.
rs. That for the past month
complaints to the number Of 100
and more daily have been reported.
IS. That all of these complaints
have been justihable in every par
ticular.
~. That throughout this city col

has been collected daily an average
OF so tons. Some days as high as
66 tons. requiring eighteen truck
loads of garbage.
80. Every citizen OF this city
knows that garbage must be collect
ed. It is a necessity. 1t must be
done for the public health and city
pride Of every community demands
it. In view of the foregoing, the fol-
lowing resolution Of the Board of
