THE SMALL CITY ARRIVES

According to the municipal ex-
perts of various kinds the era OF
the small city and town is arriving.
1t is now seen that city can ac-
tually grow bigger than is good for
it, and some authorities are claim
inga that the great metropolis will
in time arrive at the stage where
it will be impossible physically to
grow, in extent of territory at least.
There are perhaps many reasons
why the smaller community is com
ing into it's own. Perhaps the most
potent Of these is that the smaller
community is no longer what 1t
used to be-is in fact a great deal
better.
The city or town with muddy
streets is rarely found in this day
of good roads and automobiles. Civic
pride has grown in the smaller as
well as the larger cities. Ram
shackle buildings are being elimi-
mated everywhere, and the smaller
communities now have fine public
buildings including adequate schools
and libraries, up to date hospitals
and so on. They are all coming tc
have fine parks too, parks thai
would do credit to some of the lar
ger cities of the country.
But the improvement has not al
been along inanimate lines. Th'
people have improved too. Out il
what was once the broad, opel
spaces they dress just as well, i
not better, ride in as good automo
biles, eat better food, and have thu
same books and general entertain
ment that they do in the big cities
The time was when you could spo

Maryland, in the current number OF
American Forests and Forest Life.
Beginning in 1914 with the passage
of the Roadside Tree law, the first
fight was directed against signs and
billbOardS on trees. Next came the
problem of regulating the cutting
of trees and branches in connection
with telephone and telegraph wires.
While recognizing the necessity of
freeing the wires from danger OF
interference, efforts were made to
prevent needless mutilatiOn- Farm
ers also were prevented from cut
ting or trimming trees on the pub
lie highway which Obstructed their
land without first obtaining per-
nit from the State Forestry De-
partmeni
AIaryland's5 experience was that
of New York and other Eastern
| States-that the danger to trees
along the roadside extended to
| those on private as well as on pub
lie land, owing to the thoughtless
depfedations of motorists. The
Roadside Tree law only protected
the trees on the right of way. In
1918 came supplementary statute
making it a misdemeanor to remove
or iniure trees, shrubs, vines or
| flowers on private property along
the road without the written con-
sent of the landowner. The State
Forestry Department has been
growing trees for planting along
the highways and has distributed
several thousand each year to be
set out by individuals.
It has sometimes been cOntended
that forestry of this sort has NO
economic importance. Shade trees
along the road may not have any
cash sale value. But they add to
the scenic beauty and to the COM
fort of the roads in a way not Jc
be measured in mere dollars. Ii
Europe the practice of roadside
planting has been of actual finan'
cial consequence, owing to the
scarcity of firewood. In parts o.
France the roads have even beer
planted with fruit trees. Through
out the United States there is muc1
to be gained by encouraging tho
planting of shade trees along the
highways. Fortunately, various
garden clubs and other local or
ganizations have long realized thi'
and are doing what they can to en-
courage the planting of trees b!
public and private means. A l1ttl'
foresight now would do much II
beautify the roads of the countr!
for years to cOme.-New Yorl
Times.

CLIPPED COMMENT
COME UP Or SHUT UP

One who stands on the sidelines,
refusing to join the fight, has no
business criticizing the decision.
Next year well-intentioned citi-
zens will be damning one public
official or another, some judge, some
executive or some legislator who,
the critic thinks, is false to his pub
lie duty. Fine! Honest fault-find-
ing is the life of democratic govern
ment. But
Did you, Mr.. Critic, take part in
the contest, or merely stand on the
sidelines? In other words, did you
register and vote at the last cleo
ton?
No citizen who neglects this ele-
mentary obligation of his citizen
ship has any right whatever to COM
plain of results. If incompetent or
dishonest men are chosen to office
a large part of the blame rests on
the shirkers who imagine them
selves too busy, but are in fact too
Indifferent, to attend their party
primary, register and cast their bal
lots in November.
More devotion to civic duty-less
criticism by thetsideliners after cleo

CARING FOR ROADSIDE TREES.

Trees along highways are yearly
becoming better appreciated. The
elms of New England are justly
famed, Too often, however, the
trees are at the mercy not only of
passers-by and of neighboring
farmers but of the road-building
authorities, who have not failed to
destroy noble specimens in order to
fiatten a curve. To Maryland goes
the credit Of having been among
the first to realize that the road
side trees require legal protection
and to inaugurate a policy to care
for them, to replace them and to
plant new trees where none had
been before. How this campaign
was waged is described by Mr.. F.
w. Besley, the State Forester OF

COCOA NOT HARMFUL

There is a prevailing but erron-
eous idea that some types Of cocoa
contain alkalis which are harmful
to the human system. If this were
the case, no such cocoa could be
offered for sale under the food and
drugs act.
The misconception is probably
due to the fact that an "alkili
treatment is one part of the pro-
cess of manufacturing "Dutched'
or dutch process" cocoa. The
word alkili probably suggests to
many people the strong caustics
such as lye or soda which are used
for household cleaning. Only small
amounts of very mild alkalis, says
The Progressive Grocer, are used
in making this type Of cocoa.

world; but it is with the living, we
have most to express our approval
of their work. OF these stands out
the veteran Editor Emeritus, Merris
Taylor as a connecting link for the
present and the past. The modern
success of the Every Evening rests
npon the shoulders and brain OF
William F. Metten, a Kent County
boy-almost a native of Milford; II
is to him that the responsibility lies
for bringing the Every Evening to
the forefront as a newspaper, and
mower of civic weight in the City of
Wilmington. With men such as Mr..
Metten the day is not far distant
when the daily papers of Wilmington
will stand firm in the ranks Of metro
politan journalism.
With this contribution for public
ity for the merits of Wilmington and
the State, not to mention the penin-
sula, before the people, there should
be an awakening by the people to
the realization of the natural beau
ties of their country; in its lakes, It's
rolling fields, it's wonderful oppor-
tunities for those who will study and
act so as to bring success in culture
of the soil and in planning for the
MANAGEMENT of lands which will pay
great returns when used for proper
1n1rposes. The more than six hun
dred miles of magnificent roads on
the peninsula are all helps to carry
the message of the Every Evening to
all the people.
For this anniversary number ana

which were followed for advertising
the Every Evening and the entire

the enterprise to splendid success.

Just stop for a moment and COM

now generally a thriving, up-to-date

Through its outside news connec-

with the very latest thought and
the latest customs throughout the
nation. And by its local efforts it
encourages progress and good citl-

AS EXPECTED THE WET advo-
Gates throughout the State fail to
concede that their defeat at the
polls on Tuesday throughout Della
ware was genuine and decisive. Al
ready alibies are being heard-and
will so continue from the wet mouth
pieces of the opponents of the dry
laws of the State and Nation. For
real unlogical reasoning the Every
Evening, of Wilmington, Thursday
night editorially caps the climax.
Taking the stand that because ap-
proximately fifty per cent Of the eli
gible voters of the State did not eX-
press themselves at the polls the
issue was not fairly fought out, and
that therefore the ''wetness" or "dry-
ness"- of the commonwealth is not
established thereby. Real bunk this
statement. Rural Delaware is "dry."
It has been consistently dry, and if
the hundreds of voters throughout
the three counties who did not vote
should go to the polls, an over
whelming majority Of them would
vote dry. The real result we be-
lieve, in Delaware, at least, would
result in a large dry majority
should every eligible voter in the
State go to the polls and vote on the
question.
