good community" says the Spokane
Spokesman-Review. "The well-edited
paper is a distinct advantage to its
community and serves a need that
will always exist. 1t prints the cur
rent news of the community and,
with a capable editor, it becomes a
real factor in the upbuilding of the
community. 1t can and does accom-
plish much for the commonwealth.
It reflects the character of the COM
munity itself. 1t aids materially in
the direction and assistance of all
community development, both indus
trial and educational.

JUST TO emphasize the condition
existing in the public school housing
of the children in the Town of Mil
ford, also to provide rooms in which
the classes may be placed for the
necessary periods of each school
day, the Milford Board of Education
has been compelled to rent three
rooms in the Masonic Temple for the
school year commencing September
eighth next. This makes seven
rented and loaned school buildings
outside of the school buildings own
ed by the Milford Board of Educa-
tion-and one more place for teach
ing music is yet to be secured.

A FEW WEEKS AGO thousands
of boys and girls finished school and
went out into the world to make a
living. Most of them were looking
for jobs. If one of them was your
son OF daughter you were greatly
concerned that his or her job as
sociate him or her only with honest,
decent, respectable people. If your
boy or girl entered a business oper-
ated by dishonest, unscrupulous men
you would be in continual distress,
wouldn't you?
Well, how about that honest dol
lar you invest and send out into the
world to earn something for you? 1t
has even less chance than your
hopeful son or daughter if it is en-
trusted to dishonest hands or ques-
tionable undertakings. To get ahead,
as you wish, your son or daughter
must have honest work in an honest
vocation. It's exactly the same with
your invested dollar. What do you
know about the men or firms with
whom you invest your money?
Nothing, only get-rick-quick prom
ises? That's pitiably insufficient.
Make them prove they are honest
and capable before you invest.

THE STATE of Delaware needs to
have effort made to increase plant
ing of walnut and other hard wood
trees, by owners of farms general
ly. It is a fact, that on each farm in
Delaware there are several places
where trees of the black walnut va
riety, hickory, oak and other kinds
of hard wood trees, can be placed
without obstructing the management
of the farms. 1t is we'll known that
the supply of hard wood forests is
about exhausted in the State of
AS the prices of this
kind of timber advance, each farm
can be made a source of supply to
the advantage of the owners of land.
We have a State Board Of AgriCul-
ture and an experimental farm avail
able for plans and as source to
supply the farmers with young trees
each planting season; also we have
Forestry Laws to assist in the de-
of this interest, which is
rital to the people of Delaware; es-
Decially those who will be active in
he affairs of Delaware products
and sources of revenues in the years
o come. Aside from the value of
he wood, trees of these varieties en-
nance the value of farms as shade
md in landscape effects, of far
greater importance than the orna-
mental trees now popular. The State
Agricultural Department of Della
ware should supply seedlings trees
or planting on Arbor Days, free of
cost, sent postpaid by mail, to
schools, farmers and citizens in the
State of Delaware. This is no ex-
pertinent, for it has been worked out
md is in effect in the State of Mich
gan in one of the Normal Schools.
Delaware has the Agricultural De-
)artment and the State Experimental
Farm to work with in this new de-
Darture, and above all, Delaware has
he urgent need that such action be
aiken to restore in considerable
MEASURE the growth of hard wood
rees and the oak forests, which
ave been cut ruthlessly by the
1mber spectators, until the end of
ne hardwood forests is at hand.
