suits To Be Obtained Are Outlined

The Kent County (Del) Section
OF the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association has recently sent out a
circular letter telling of the aims
and benefits to be derived from the
work of the association. 1t follows:
"The ultimate objective of the
work of the Kent-Del-Section and
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore As
sociation is to bring more people
into Kent county, Delaware, and
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore, in
creasing our population.
This objective will be accom-
plished as the publicity work, gath
ering momentum, swings into its
stride and carries on; creating in
terest, producing inquiries, bringing
visitors and homeseekers, and final
ly the new settler.
Shall we make it a success? Is
it worth while, who will benefit and
how? All of us will benefit, both
directly and indirectly.
"The visitors will come by auto
mobile or by railroad, and having
to live will patronize our hotels,
restaurants, and boarding houses or
take lighter refreshments at the
ice cream parlors, soft drink coun-
ters, candy stores, and smoke
shops; desiring entertainment will
take in the movies, the sportsmen
will try our cunning and fishing or
seek out country clubs for golf and
tennis, and visit our river, bay, and
seaside resorts for his water pleas
ures, and other social diversions.
"The hOmeseeker and new set
tier will call on the realtor buying
town or country place, having a
lawyer search the title and prepare
deed. The banker will get a new
account, perhaps make a loan.
''The newcomer will get busy; no
doubt, making repairs and altera-
tions to his new home; giving work
to the mason, the carpenter, the
painter, the paperhanger, for which
materials must be furnished thru
the brickyard, cement dealer, Ium-

with it except that in many cases it
does not get the man. Hobab was
valuable to Israel and Moses was not
going to be dispossessed of his ability
if there was any way to prevent it.
what d oyou do if the fish don't
bite?" was the query to an expert
enced fisherman. Change my bait"
was the significant reply. He who
fishes for men must be as ready and
as determined. 1t seems that Moses
got his man. And it was upon the
basis of the need of Israel. And again
we find that Gods guidance does not
discredit the experience of men. Ho-
bah knew the desert, its trails and
its watered spots, and if Gods beacon
was to be followed places must be
found for the feet of the marchers.
God marks the way, but men must
build the roads. Hobab became a
helper at the task.
THE GUIDE OF THE DAWN
AND DUSK.
Before the march and after its com
pletion are the two periods that are
perilous Moses saw to it that the
dawn was set to the key of prayer
and the dusk settled under the same
tune. The Ark might be regarded by
some as the actual possessor of such
qualities as compelled the presence
of God, but Moses kept the fires of the
spirit ahght. And the marcher of
today will find the same habit wonder
fully helpful in the press of a dust
logged march across the day of bust
ness. Start the day with a prayer,
close it with bit of praise and all life
will be sweeter thereby. Israel march
ed TO a music that held God in it's
heart and gained immeasureably by
the doing and the presence of God be-
came more certain to each heart that
bowed at dawn and dusk.

At 1:30 D. m. last Tuesday blaze was seen on the roof of the two-story residence of Mir. D. W. Harvey, on Third avenue. The alarm was scar. cely given until every able bodied man in town was on his way to the fire with either a pail of water or g ladder. Sufficient water was soon drawn from the hydrants on the wa ter system on Fourth avenue to float the building had it been required. As it was the blaze was soon extinguish, ed and the damage was nominal.
 This was Stewards first experience with fire, and the alacrity with which everyone responded, proves that 2 confagation would have a big start if the people did not soon quench it.
