don't care to get tangled up with.
The person who lives on hope
never has to take reducing exer-
cises.
1t is somewhat rare when a per-
son stops in the public's eye for a
considerable length of time with
out getting in its hair.
In winter snow or summer heat
great train service on the Della
ware Railroad was the accommo-
dation that went north at 8 o'clock
am. every morning except Sunday.
This train usually carried many
passengers, a big mail and lot OF
express. It also cheaply carried
business men and women, likewise
goodly number of students to
the Wilmington Schools. In every
way this train was a real blessing
to the peninsula. In the afternoon
and daily, another fine help was
the passenger and mail train COM
ing south at about 4:30 pm. This
train would bring all of the travel
ers back to their native towns on
the peninsula. Many of the resi-
dents of the peninsula are happy
that these two train systems with
soon be restored to schedule and
only that will make them feel that
'the happy days are here again"
Robert Finletter thinks that
Smyrna and Townsend have both
progressed well but might have
done better if several industries
had come this way in the mean
time. The lack of industries he
says, has checked many a town
from spreading, and now that the
factories and shops in New Eng
land have broken loose from the
united group, they may well be ex-
pected to come south for more fav-
orable conditions. Bob adds that
both towns are much better off
than in 1900, and ne adds, "let
them grow"
The Easter service at the I'M
manuel Church on Sunday drew a
completely filled church. The
balmy weather with the grand sun
shine combined to help make the
gladstone service that the occasion
calls for. Decorated fine with
flowers the scene was touching
rembinder of how other Easter
Days were joyfully hailed. At the
morning service two children were
baptized. One was a child of Mr..
and Mrs. Alvin Horn of Marshall
ton and the other a child of Mr..
and Mrs. Copper of Taylor's
Bridge. AT the morning service
Mr.. Joseph G. Hutchison, Jr., as
soloist sang well, "Christ Arise,
Also the sermon by the Rev. Hen
ry M. Parks was fine. The large
audience paid rapt attention to his
, timely remarks. He chose as his
, text ''T'he Living Hope of the Res
direction" He said in part: 'sWhat
strange fact that the Christian
Church would go to grave for its
|, hope and inspiration. But we do
this is everything in our faith. II
lifts us up to heaven. Not unit
faith and hope becomes sight ant
reality, can we know just what the
Resurrection means. Until, then
let us thank God; the father of oul
Lord Jesus Christ, our Father too
who by His mercy hath gotten us
into this lively hope of life Etern
al. This hope is alive in us ant
| all the earth. Let us live tomor
row; today, always, like we believe
this with all we are and have
!, When the body falls, then, for the
Glories of the Lord and the reward
of the faithful. This hope in us
the gift of Eternal. Life. Thanl
the Lord Jesus Christ, our wonder
full Saviour"
Not much choice between grow
ing sugar corn and tomatoes ac
cording to the farmers who hav'
specialized in both products fo,
several years. While the forme
sells lively at times it is slov
whenever a glut comes but ther
never seems to be plut in corn
Sugar corn goes to steady buyer
: at fair price but then corn fail
f whenever a small drought come
II along and yet the tomato is not at
fected by an ordinary spell of DIR

shown in the variations wherea
one farmer sticks to sugar cor
while his neighbor, perhaps jus
across the highway, makes a flu

busy but no one has compiled fig
ures to find out which crop ha
II paid them best.
