Why the New School Cafeteria is a
Physical and Social Asset

The school children of Smyrna
should be proud of the new cafe
terra. They are now capable Of Sc
curing many benefits that were out
of the question before it was built.
To be able to eat with school
chums in a new, up-to-date lunch
room is surely enough to make
them very happy. Eating while in
this frame of mind greatly helps
the digestive system.
Instead of hurrying out of doors
in the rain, or in extreme hot or
cold weather, they may stay in
school, and eat a nourishing meal
with ease. Remaining within the
school keeps them together rather
than spreading the student body
all over Smyrna.
Before, cold lunches were eaten
in stuffy class room; hot food
can now be obtained
By working daily in class to
bring the school standard up, the
pupils can show appreciation to the
people who gave them the cafe
terra. This way is the most profit
able way for everyone.

Why the New School Cafeteria Is
An Asset to the Community

The safest and surest way to
start a child on the road to success
and usefulness is to develop his
body properly and furnish him
with every opportunity and condi-
tion for health.
The new Cafeteria has been es-
tablished to furnish adequate nu-
triton to the children, a primary
essential to health.
By knowing something about
the needs of how food supplies
them, it is possible to feed the
school children at a moderate cost.
The manager of the Cafeteria Sc
lects and prepares food which she
knows is of the most value to our
bodies. Warm lunches are prepar-
ed which are of more food value
than couple of sandwiches which
a majority of the children ate be-
fore the Cafeteria was established.
The Cafeteria is also an asset So
cially. Being among others en-
ables children to become more ac-
quainted with manners at the
table, and how to act in public eat
ing places
These things prove to us how
important Cafeteria really is in a
school building

and Fish Commissioners at a re-
cent meeting decided the hunting
season for pheasants in Delaware

was not felt there was a sufficient
number of pheasants available to
warrant an open season.

The Value of Grammar to the
Ordinary Person

Grammar is the art of speaking
or writing a language correctly.
From the earliest times man has
realized that in order to make
himself liked, he must impress his
neighbors and associate favorably.
There is no surer way of losing
respect than to use words in the
wrong place. A person may seem
likeable, but as soon as he says 81
have saw" or 81 seem much re-
spect and desire for his compan-
ionship is lost.
Good grammar is also important
from an economic viewpoint. A
grocer could not afford to keep a
clerk who said "I amt got none"
or Il don't know who 1 have saw
do such thing" Much of a per-
sons success in business depends
upon his ability to speak good
English and make himself liked.
In short, everyone should try to
improve his grammar in order that
he should have a better chance to
make himself liked and provide a
better living.

What Milton Means To Us As An
Example For Living

Milton was passionately interest
ed in beauty. He was always
searching new beauty in nature,
art, thought-everything. Milton
not only saw beauty in tangible
things, he saw beauty in spiritual
things as well.
The sonet "On His Blindness
expresses simply and beautifully
mis- philosophy of life. He believed
in God and felt that no matter
what God made him bear, it was
for him the best. Before he went
blind he was warned to save his
eyesight, but because he felt he
was being of service to the world,
he continued. Millions intense
thirst for the beauty of everything
around him and his ability to ap-
preciate this beauty is a great ex-
ample for us to follow in our
everyday life, if we did, our lives
would be much happier.
If we could take these burdens
that God places upon us as Milton
did, with the same cheerful un-
complaining nature, how much
easier we could make life for our
selves and those around us.
If we study the noble character
of this great man, Milton, we can
find many examples that will help
us

Value of Schools to the Communit

sdlue OF SCHOOLS 10 the Community
The school is one community in
stitution that intends to supply the
young citizens with a learning
which will later be of value to his
community.
Each community is interested in
politics and in finding the best
political leaders. The school teach
es democracy, not only in the study
of Civics, but in indirect wavs.
Leadership is taught on the play
ground. Obedience is required in
every class room. Thus the stu
dent receives some idea of the
principles of government.
One meets many different types

ship is the greatest result of
scholar acquaintance. The school

center for youth. 1t attempts and
achieves the employment of minds
which might otherwise be idle or
engaged in evil pursuits.
The school, without doubt,
renders more good to the commun-
lity than the community-folk have

COLLEGE PARK, Md, July 13-
The Maryland Crop Reporting Serv-
ice estimated today Maryland wheat
fields will yield 81 bushels an acre
this season. an increase of one-half
bushel an acre more than last year.
On this prediction it was estimated

bushels. This was said to be above
last years, but below the five-year
average for l928-l932.
Present production prospects indi-
cate larger crops of barley, white po-
tatoes and fruits, as we'll as wheat,
il was said. Smaller crops of corn,
cats, rye, tame hay, sweet potatoes
end tobacco were forecast.
Corn made rapid growth during
June and partly overcame the han
d,cap OF late planting, it was said.
The barley crop promises an in
crease despite per cent decrease In
acreage, the bureau said. Apple and
peach crops are expected to show a
considerable increase.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, July 13 P).
Commodity prices since the first of
the month have not only resisted
beariSh pressure, but have recorded
two consecutive advances. The latest
index for all commodities is 72.5
1925 equaling 1000, which compares
with a high for the year to date of
74.4 in the middle of May. Prices at
the beginning of the year were 7O.8
and year ago 65.2. Price strength
was not general, as review OF IA
individual groups showed that while
five advanced there was an equal num-
Der of declines and four groups re-
main unchanged.
Industrial prices moved on side
wise course, unchanged from the pre-
vious week and holding slightly
higher than the price average record
ed in April, May and June. Indus
trial activity moved moderately down.
ward and the latest estimate is 70
per cent under normal.
Farm Prices Decline.
Agricultural prices declined during
the second week in July, rejecting a
favorable July l Government crop
report. The total tonnage OF agrl-
cultural products will not equal aver
age proportions, but the prospective
supply will result in an export sur
plus and materially change the sup
ply-to- demand ratio.
Live stock prices advanced quite
sharply, due entirely to price strength
in hogs, which more than offset the
slight price weakness in cattle and
lambs.
Fuel prices registered an upswing
caused by a seasonal price mark-up
in anthracite coal.
Hide and leather prices ruled lower.
The reaction was directly attributable
to lower quotations for calf skins and
union sole leather.
Non-ferrous metals represent one
of the five groups to average higher,
principally due to price strength IN
lead. Tin prices were also higher,
while the only important price de-
cline was noted in quicksilver.
Fine Textiles Down.
Fine textiles lost some ground dur
ing the week, largely due to price
weakness in spot cotton.
Vegetable oils declined to the low
est point since the first of the year.
Lower price levels were noted for
coconut, lnseed, china wood and
Soya bean oils.
Most important price changes in
the McGill weekly commodity index
