Outlook of Economists

Nearly all economists agree
that unless some unforeseen
upset occurs there will be at
least a moderate improvement
in business during 1889, (al-
though the first three months
are likely to remain about
stationary, says the Newark
Post.
"While government spend
ing of borrowed money will
continue to stimulate bust
ness, the national debt will
reach more than A billion
dollars during the next fiscal
year. The number of unem-
ployed, now still about 10 mil
lion, will show some decrease
during 1889, but will remain
a most serious problem. I'm
employment relief will con-
tinue to be the greatest single
item of expense.
''The United States News
predicts that strikes will in
crease in number compared
with last year, and that the
farm problem will continue to
be unsolved, although farm
ers will receive bigger and
better subsidies"
Leading observers do not
expect a European war this
year, but Germany and Italy
will continue to press for fur
ther territory, and may OBJ
tain added concessions with
out fighting for them.
STORMY debates are ex-
pected in Congress over gov
eminent spending, national
defense and a wide range of
domestic and foreign ques-
tions, but it is too early to
predict the outcome Of these
important controversies"

Old Drawers Church

Although regular Sunday
services are not to be held in
Old Drawers Church during
the coming summer, says the
Wilmington Morning News,
''it is hoped there will be re-
sumption when former favor
able conditions are restored.
The reason given for discon-
tinuance is the detouring Of
much traffic normally passing
the church as a result of the
wrecking of the canal bridge
at st. Georges last January.
"The change in the Old
Drawers program, it is un-
derstood, will not interfere
with the annual meeting of
the Friends Of Old Drawers,
which is regarded as one of
the most interesting func-
tions of the year having to do
with the churches.
"This fine old church has
become more than a local in
stitution. At one time the
only meetings held there were
those of the Friends Of Old
Drawers. After it was de-
cided to have services each
Sunday in summer the at
tendance, which was crafty
ing, included persons who

that would be necessary
would be a general under
standing that such a change
would go into effect during a
specified period, and that in
dustry would regulate its
hours accordingly. That is
the plan followed in Whining
ton. While eastern standard
time is the official time for all
public business meetings,
hours of official bodies are
changed to correspond with
the daylight schedule while

with advanced time in the
summer. As most of the
towns reflect the sentiment of
their agricultural neighbors
there has been pretty general
opposition down the state to
the day light plan which is
followed in the upper part of
the state. Milford, however,
started some of the activities
an hour earlier, without
changing the clock. The Will
mington Journal-Every Even
ing takes the view: 'that low
er Delaware has organized
baseball and some advocates
of a change may be influenced
by that fact. One of Will
mington's chief reasons for
using daylight time in sum-
mer is to have long evenings
to devote to baseball and 9TH
er outdoor games and pas
times. Any community which
should desire to make the
change need not have any law

Man Needs But Little

Over-estimating the condi-
tions essential to a happy and
effective life is one of the
prime causes of the sense of
failure. 1t takes much less
to make one happy than we
imagine. Some verifier has
put it thus:
IF there's no sun, I still may
have the moon;
If there's no moon, the stars
my needs suffice;
If starless, there's my trusty
evening lamp;
Or lampless, then my little tai
low dip.
And if that fails, I still may
seek my couch,
And sleep and dream there's
light again"
"What this philosopher-poet
is saying, says the Easton
Star Democrat, SIS simply
that, if life deprives of this,
and bars us out of that, and
forces us to one new arrange
ment after another, there are
still all the materials of a
rich and happy life about US,
if we will only think.
Life in the average village
is something the big city So
phisticates despise. Yet in
every village are people who
have accepted their place, and
have turned to the cultivation
of interests and affections
right where they we're, and
have found peace.
"We all know men and wo-
men who have been denied
success and indie
pendence, but who plumbed
the depths of mind and spirit,
and have gained a wealth
money cannot give, nor
poverty take away.
"No, don't over-estimate the
conditions essential to sue
cessful and happy living. 1t
takes much less than one sup
poses to make a life. Remem-
Der what the late w. K. Van
derbilt once said, he who had
everything - My life was
never destined to be happy;
had nothing to seek for nor

Daylight Saving Next Sunday


Daylight saving time will
be put into effect next Sunday
when the clock time will be
advanced one hour when prac-
tically all key cities of the
east will fall in line. In Del
aware, Wilmington and prac-
tically two-thirds of New Cas-
tie County will have it. Mid
dletown almost decided to en-
ter the plan last year but
whether they will join this
year has not been definitely
stated. Dover too, was for a
time, it is said, considering it.
If Middletown and Dover take
up the advanced time then
why not Smyrna and for that
matter, why not the whole of
Delaware. Every body living
on standard time knows the
nuisance of having "two
times" to consider each year.
Since most all the large cities
in this trading area take up
with the advanced time every
year why not make it general.
Farming communities, it
seems, are not in sympathy

A fire of logs in a clearing beyond
the cabins lighted the whole camp,
bringing fences, tree trunks, people
into red relief against the blackness

marched toward the fire and sat on
stumps nearby. Men and girls
surged onto a square of hard-packed
ground and, with partners chosen,
waited for the music to begin.

drew Louise to him. At the same
