No TIME WASTED

The splendid old pioneers and SET
Tiers who built up Delaware never
wasted any time If they had. spare
moments. they did not spend them
in idlcness.
Instead they went out in their
back yards and raised gardens or
kept poultry, or made things with
their hands which they could sell
tp their neighbors. We can not al
ways do just what they did. And it
is not desirable to work every min-
ute Cltside of eating and sleeping
time. But il the hours that some
people spend Cht of a normal work
ing day in pure lOafing. were de-
voted to some form OF useful work
on their home places, or in study
ing the methods by which their SER
vice or business could be improved
we should have fewer failures in the
work of life.

BOARD ADVISES ADVERTISING

The Home Loan Bank Board rec
ommends that the Federal savings
and loan associations use newspaper
advertising. 1t has sent out series
of 2G advertisements which can be
used by such institutions.
Here is Il good testimony to the
value OF advertising, from Il source
which must look at such PROPOSE
ton in a strictly impartial way.
These authorities can see that if the
advantages offered by this system
are presented to the people, there
will be an immediate and satisfac-
tory response. Business is obtained
by going after it, Newspaper adver-
tising is the efficient and persuasive
solicitor that does not have to pull
any dOorbcll. but which speaks with
so persuasive a voice and such rea-
sOnable arguments, that people fol

TIE AMERICAN Lnnk

, What is the distinctive American
loOk?" Suzanne Silvercruys, Belgian
sculptor, is preparing busts of 25
noted Americans. which she will eX-
hibit in Europe, according to a New
York dispatch. Her idea of the
American look. is that it is a blend
OF youthfulness and force and a sort
of innocence and determination"
These are good qualities. and it is
fine to have some noted sculptor pic
ture them forth in her enduring ma
terials. But some phases of the
American look are not so good When
that force and determination are
seen driving cars at terrific rates Of
speed, so that dreadful accidents oc-
cur, one could wish the American
look had more caution in it. But
it seems clear that no race ever
looked brighter and more alert than
ours.

MINIsTERs AND MARRIAGES

What should ministers do about
marrying people, when persons pre-
sent themselves for this ceremony
who in the opinion of the clergyman
are not fitted. for marriage? This
question must worry ministers 4
great deal.
The American Unitarian AssOcia-
tion's social relations department re-
Gently presented a program of pro-
posed reforms for modern life, one
of which was that ministers should
refuse to marry persons unless they
feel that the marriage will be sue
cess.
A minister may feel in some cases.
that the young people who come to
him for marriage are too young, or
do not seem likely to be loyal to
each other. Yet he may think that
if they are not married, they will
probably live together illegally, so
it is better to have the legal union.
1t is probably better, if couple
are determined to live together any
way. for the relation to be legalized
if possible, SO that if children come
they shall have legitimate parents.
Many young people who get mar
ried in an impulsive way. need to
hear some counsels of sense and
reason. Such ones frequently refuse
to listen to their parents. whom they
regard as old fOgies out of touch
with modern times.
The minister or the civil officer
to whom they resort, might perform
a useful service by talking seriously
TO such ones. He might tell them
about the countless people who have
in haste and repentcd at
leisure, how marriage brings a long
rain of consequences. and many OF |
hem are not pleasant If a few /
words of counsel would induce these
iurry-up folks to go ick to the old !
homes and talk it 9ver, he would !

MEAT PRICEs GDING rPl

Meat prices, which have already
risen considerably. are likely to go
still higher, according to predictions
ar Washington. The old nursery
rhyme told about the COW that
jumped over the moon. While beef
will not get as high as it was on
that fabled occasion, yet the house
wife may have to do some figuring
to give the family the things to which
they are accustomed
Many housewives could still feed
the family amply and twell. if they
would get over the notion that they
must have the most expensive cuts
of meat. Skillful cookery applied
to the less expensive meats will
make a'better dinner than unskilled

WASHINGTON CAN'T DO ALL

Rev. DIR. Harry Emerson FOsdick,
noted radio preacher, warned his
New York congregation the other
Sunday against the tendency to CEN
tralize government in Washington.
Hopes that such centralized gov
ernment will solve all problems
would not be realized, he predicted.
Just at present the Federal gov
ernment is having to exercise a vast
amount Of power over industrial and
relief problems, and people differ as
to how far this is necessary or de-
sirable. But there has long been a
tendency. and. it is stronger now
than ever before, for people to look
to the Federal government to solve
many problems which should be
handled by community or state ac-
ton.
Many people will neglect their
duties as citizens. and pay little at
tention to the affairs of their city
and state. and then they are ag-
grievcd if their municipal or state
government has not solved all their
problems. Such people are apt to
shout for the Federal government to
step in and help them out of their
difficulties. when these troubles
would have arisen if these folks had
attended TO their work as citizens.

and better size with less culls.
1910 is the fertilizer TO use for tomatoes

2-s-1O fertilizer will help you make field
corn a cash crop, with ears filled out TO the
tip with better quality, hieher-feed- value

helps control root rot, reduces frost injury
and makes plumper grains, aiding in the
formation of starch and sugar. For sOy-
beans and cOwpeas also use 2-8-lO. IL pro-
duces more hay and better seed.

Experiments prove that extra potash in fer

the disease resistance of the plants reducing
losses from mOlds and rOts. Plenty of potash
enables the grower to produce both high

be sacrificed for the other.
This year it costs you very little to make
sure that your fertilizer contains plenty of
NvPOTASH, For instance, compare 4-S-7 fer-

liz more actual plant food than 4-8-5, yet It

The Governor said a rider could
set aside funds sufficient to carry on
the program until the next regular
session of the Assembly. or until
such time as a special session would
be held.
Another rider possibility would be
appropriation of funds to cover the
first quarter of 1886, thus making
legislative action unnecessary until

clean bill of health by a Federal
judge despite a closing order by the
mayor of Chicago. 1t begins the
third year of its New York run to-
morrow night.
Following a conference with
Mayor Kern and the Safety Board,
Chief Morrissey said:
IF we go to Tobacco Road and
find any violations of any ordinance
or any law we will take action If
any one else is offended and later
swears to an affidavit, we'll make
arrests"

SKATING DERBY NOT
MARATHON, IS CLAIM
Kern Approves Proposed
Soup Kitchen Benefit.

The roller skating derby which
city employees hope to promote for
the benefit of the Soup Kitchen
Fund is not a "walkathon" in any
sense, Mayor Kern said today.
Amendment to the ordinance
which bans such contests is neces-
sary the Mayor said, because the
ordinance goes a little farther than
the state law, much to the surprise
of every one
The amendment was brought be-
fore the Council last night to allow
skating derby in the Playground
Coliseum.
Twenty-Five couples would skate L
hours day at half-hour intervals
until figuratively they had crossed
the United States. The promoter
has offered the Soup Kitchen $1,000
guarantee and 20 per cent of the
proceeds,
Albert H. LoSche, purchasing
agent, in charge of soup kitchen
finances, told the council that funds
are depleted.
To Mrs. Edward j. Thompson, In
dianapoliS Parent Teacher presi-
dent, the proposed derby does not
sound plausible.
Il have little knowledge of it, but
on first thought it seems that city
officials are evading the issue. If it
resembles a walkathon, l should be
opposed to it, Mrs Thompson said.
