Two Kinds OF Holly
Fifty and 60 years ago, before
lower Delaware had a live stock law,
compelling the farmers to impound
their cattle and erect fences, it was
customary for them to turn their
hogs and cattle into the woodland
where they feasted on holly bran
ches. The farmers then were glad
to get rid of it. It was considered
one of their greatest menaces. The
trees were among the first to be cut
for the open fire places.
The Sussex county section pro-
dGces two kinds of holly. One is
known as lOwland or "cOw" holly
and the other "highIand" holly. Most
people are unaware of this and think
all holly is alike. There is a marked
difference between the two.
LOwland holly does not attain the
dark green hue nor the height and
Is almost devoid of thOrns. High
land holly will carry better when
shipped to distant points. It's ber-

Certificates Poor Until 1900
Even after 1881, the certifeations
were very poor, said DR.. Jost, up un-
til 1900. The result is that DR.. Jost
estimates there are 10000 additional
persons born in Delaware who have
no birth certificates, making an es-
timated total of $4,000.
Persons who were not born be-
tween 1868 and 1881 but were born
before 1900, should also notify the
department unless they are certain
their births are recorded, DR.. Jost
emphasized.
For the last year, DR.. JOst said,
the department has been certifying
the births of three or four adults a
day. But he said this number is in
significant considering the total of
persons who have not been certi-
fed.
Not only does the lack of certi-
hcation mean grave complications
on federal old age pensions, but on
all other types of pensions as well,
and on many other matters, such
as passports, DR.. Jost declared.

Fire Prevention Good

If you've ever suffered from de-
struction Of property by fire, you'll
know that nothing can fully repay
you.
A fire insurance policy will re-
build a house. But il won't bring
back keepsakes and the hundreds of
ilreplaceable articles that most of
us gather through the years-arti-
cles with little intrinsic value. Moth
ing can. There are many things that
dollars can't buy.
Also, an insurance policy may re-
place a burned factory. But It can't
pay for lost work. destroyed OppOr-
tunities, depleted purchasing power.
When workmen's incomes stop, the
whole community feels the III eff
fects. 1t may be necessary for them
to subsist on charity or relief-at
the expense of everyone. Storekeep-
ers suffer, property-owners lose
rent, savings are taken from banks.
And so It goes.
When property is consumed, 1t no
longer pays taxes--and the taxes
paid by all other property must be
increased to make up the deficiency.
Cases are on record where a fire
has destroyed a towns principal in
dustry-and the result was that
community progress came immedi-
ately TO an end and qualification set
in.
Every wise home-owner and busi-
carries insurance-but
IL he Is really wise. he will realize
that his policy, no matter how COM
Dlete, can never completely pay for
the results OF a fire. He will realize
that prevention Is better than cure

Of the spending took place in the
current year.
Mr.. Mack added that almost all
OF the appropriations, emergency
and federal aid either have been
spent or are earmarked for projects
now under contract.
200 Employed On Highways
About 200 workers are now em-
plOyed around the State on high
way construction work, and this
number is likely to be continued for
some time unless the weather sud-
denly turns bad.
The projected concrete bridge to
eliminate grade crossings Of the
Pennsylvania and Reading railroads
on the South Wilmington eauseway
DrOpably will be started In Janu-
aFy.
Arrangements with the two rail-
roads are being concluded. and bids
likely will be asked a few days after
January l. Mr.. Mack said the bridge
would cost In the neighbOrhOOd Of
100000. II will be larger than the
one over the Pennsylvania Railroad
at Newark, which is nearing COM
pletion at a cost of s150,000.
S4,110,SS3 Spent For Bridges
A total of S4,11O,SS3 has been
spent on the erection of bridges and
culVerts by the State Highway De-

Still The Life Of Trade

If you have a few grey hairs,
you'll probably remember the old
crossroads store.
This store was distinguished by
the open cracker barrel and fy-rid-
den counters and show cases. Prices
were high. Service was poor. Selec-
tions of goods was extremely limited
you were lucky if you could find
the product you wanted, much less
have a choice of brands. Often fresh
fruits and vegetables were COM
pletely unObtainable in edible con-
dition-the stOrekeeper had no ia
eilities for properly keeping per-
ishables, and wasn't interested in
Improvements. AS for sanitary con-
ditions-well, the less said the het-
ter.
Happily for all concerned, that
store is gone. In its place-eVen in
hamlets-aTe stores which are mod
els of good merchandising. Prices
are reasonable, and compare favor
ably with those in effect in large
cities. A wide selection of canned
and packaged goods is on the shell
yes, Glassed-in display equipment
has made life hard for flies and
other insects. And modern refrig-
Grafton keeps perishable goods in
first-class condition.
This change has been partly the
result Of evolution. And it has also
been partly the result Of honest
competition. Chain stores came into
existence--and made independent
stores spruce up If they wanted to
hold their trade. The independents
spruced up and often went ahead Of
the chains-and then, in turn, the
chains had to scramble around and
effect more Improvements and give
better service.
The upshot is that the American
consumer gets more and better
goods for his money-and the store
keeper who is on his toes is better
oft than he ever was. Competition is
still the life Of trade-and the con-
ally.

CONGRATULATIONS
TO THE PRESIDENT

THE nation has spoken. Every
American will accept the verdict,
and work for the common cause for
the good Of the country. That is the
spirit of democracy"
So ran the telegram dispatched by
Governor Landon to President
Roosevelt when it became apparent
that the voters had rallied in un-
precedented numbers in support of
the administration. And that tele-
gram represents something more
than good sportsmanship-it marks
an attitude that should be held by
all of the people in every walk of
life.
The Democratic victory was not
d party victory. No mere party VIC
tory could be so overwhelming or so
completely break down sectional
lines of partisan sympathy.
The victory was a very different
rhing-it was a personal victory for
MIR. Roosevelt. No man in a century
has so captiVated the imagination
and emotions OF the people, and
none has received SO great an ex-
preston. Of public confidence.
A Republican newspaper said the
morning following the election that
''the President today is the most
popular figure our national life has
known since Washington. It is inn
possible to gainsay that. The most
popular presidents, and those whose
stand out mountain
ously in our history-Jefferson Lin
coin, Cleveland-were never so pop
ular as Mr.. Roosevelt. The past
records have all been shattered.
The time for partisanship has
passed. And the time for coopera-
ton has come. This does not mean
that the President should be fol-
lowed blindly in every course-that
would be unjust to Mr.. Roosevelt
himself as well as to the country.
1t does mean that all should work
together in the common cause, as
Governor LandOn said, celebrating
differences and adjusting varying
points of view to the end that the
great ideal of democratic govern
ment be served to the ultimate of
all our capabilities.
Congratulations to the President
Few men in the worlds history have
been so signally hOnored by a great
people-an honor which carries with
il the gravest responsibilities. Every
good citizen will hope sincerely that
Mr.. Roosevelt's second term as Chief
Executive of the foremost nation on
earth will be successful, and that
his will be a high place in the his
tory of our time.
