Mental LaZinesS

The baccalaureate preacher

warning.
Many folks are said to be

asked to do any real thinking.

Last Head Famous Old Bank

Death Of John Richardson,
Jr., at ", removes the last
head of the famous old Bank
of Delaware which stood for
more than a century at Sixth
and Market streets, Whining
ton where the Delaware Pow
er and Light Company build
ing now is. The building it.
self was removed to Lowering
avenue and Union street
where it is now the Academy
of Music. When the Bank of
Delaware was consolidated
with Security Trust Company
Mr.. Richardson was it's presi-
dent and at the time of his
death he was chairman of the
board Of Security. As the
Sunday Star says, 'Mr. Rich
ardson was a banker of the
old school and bore a famous
and honored Delaware name.
He was known to practically
every business man in Will
mington, though in recent
years curtailment of his activ-
tiles no longer kept him in the

terror purpose which he is
trying to put over.
1t has often happened that
when serious mistakes were
made in the government, the
people who did the governing
were not to blame. They were
trying to do the beSt they
could. The people reany to
blame were probably those
back home who failed to
choose the right ones to gov
ern them. Many people re-
gard it as too hard work to
read about government and
politics, and find out who is
best qualified to hold public
office.
Many persons fail to get
anywhere in their occupation,
because they consider it too
hard work to acquire the
knowledge they need. While
successful people are reading
and studying, many more are
loafng around or spending
time in foolish ways. What
they need is to put a little pep
into their thinkers, and make
it do some regular work.
Thinking ought not to be
hard work. The progress of
people and the world is a fas-
cinating story, once you get
interested in it. You can read
about it every day in the
newspapers, which tell why
people go up and some go
down. Reading about their
success or failure shows the
path by which people climb.
Once they get started climb
ing up the path Of thought,
they say it is not hard work,
but one of the best forms of
fun Milford Chronicle.

Towns That Have Charm

We agree with the Denton
Journal: that charm, a
quality highly valued by peo-
pie, can also be possessed by
towns and community cen
tiers. AS the Journal says
"some Of the most charming
communities are made up
largely Of small and moderate
sized homes. They are well
adorned with trees, shrubs,
flowers and vines, all system
atically placed. Lovely color
gives a touch Of romance to
these places. Green lawns
make these grounds look like
a nicely cared for park. Small
sums Of money produce these
beautiful effects, though they
do call for some labor and
care. The rewards abundant
ly pay for the effort
Smyrna, under the present
administration, proposes to
add to the charm of Smyrna
by fixing up the approaches to
Smyrna, the surrounds of
pretty Lake Como and resur-
face streets, rounding curbs
at corners and other things
that make up for cleanliness,
sanitation and a town beauti-
full. Homes with attractive
surroundings are an asset to
any town.

Buying Farms

Capitalists are buying
farms, assured, as they feel
they are, that in no other way
can money be so well and
safely invested. "They de-
clare" says the Easton (Md.)
Star-Democrat, "that farming
property has reached the low
est level that it can possibly
attain and that it must and
will advance and remain at
higher levels. This belief is
strengthened by the return of
the country boys and girls
from the cities after they
have satisfied themselves that
country life is preferable to
striving-and often in vain
to earn a livelihood in the
large centers of population.
1t is also contended that there
will be much less opportunity
in the future for the young
men and women to find profit
able employment in the cities.
and it is further stressed that
country life - farming - has
decided advantages over city
work and its possibly long
periods Of idleness while the
expense Of living it not halt
ed.
'sThe present year has
brought back to the land
many farmers sons and
daughters who had needed
the call of the cities in the
cities in the World War period
and even since, and they
doubtless will find the new
move a wise one. 1t brings
them back to the comfort of
home, reunites them and their
former friends, and it is de-
clared they have discerned
the return has brought them
into the green fields of whole
some living where the land
will always produce their
bread and butter and where
the atmosphere is pure and
healthful, and where home
is home in fact. I"
