A DEADLY VaTUE

In emy town there are people affikrtai with one besetting sin. There are such sinners u Sen hk City, aad they an f«ite eertain that their fault if their greatest virtue. We refer to the one whs is always open-minded. • A gt«p of men, entrusted with n responsibility, decide to do n certain thing. When yon come to do this thing, however, the mu with the mind halts yon—he has a better plan. When the better plan is about to make its debut, yon learn that there is a still better way of doing H. And so on ad nurneuK. Ibis is all most praise worthy if one is a biological research, or writing the “great American novel.” It it, however; somewhat of a handicap in business, or civic development. Often it is better to do a pretty good jol in February than it is to do a mere nearly perfect job in the following September, ft is certainly better to do n pretty good job in February than never to DO anything. II your train gaes at 11 KM, there corus a time when yon have to decide whetaer or not yon are going on that train. About 11:03 it is wise to stop scouring the station for a better train, aad m"ve toward the track where the 11 KM leaves. If you let the 11 KM go in favor of the 12 KM, pan are pretty sure to find out at 12:05—if you boast of u open mindtrain lacks silver headlights or something. A door that is never dosed ceases to be a door. It is merely a hole The permanently open mind is bat a hole in the head through xfeet, more perfecter and most perfectest plans, none o/ which

BOAD-SOE MARKETS A MECBSSHT A ruling of the Sew Jersey Highway Commission, that all read-side —Tfcrti along Mate Highways mut be removed, can hardly be token to | Mas sack steads as are aa private property, sufficiently hack from nad so that they do mst block traffic. load-side markets have come to be looked upon as an abaslnte ne * sity in Ope May County at least both to the farmers aad to their city •«■*«» who are able to purchase home-grown fresh predace at moderate fsfaes aad with the convenienoe aad opportunity for wide selection. Certainly there are some steads entirely too ckoe to the roadways for awtering comfort It is so uncommon thing to be leisurely driving slang behind another car sad have it suddenly stop in front of a stead where smla^y has spied some choice fruit or vegetable, aad avert a rear-end colHrioa only by dexterous manipulation of the steering wheel mad brake. It is probably with sod experiences in mind that the State Highway •Uriah have caused the removal order to be promulgated. Its enf< meat will hardly apply to sock farmers as have their steads at a safe dis- - taaoc oC Me wad at leant back tv enough to a car can be puked in freat af Ms stoat without blocking the read.

Mvingt Bank has been f ngrrprinting depositors, sad the plan hat been eminenfty saccessfaL The depositora, particularly those who cannot read or write, are immensely pleased with it, because they recognise in it a guaran-

tee against trouble over qnestions of error in payment. Taking finger prints originated in Mat branch of the government

which deals with criminal*, and. therefore, fingerprinting is looked upon by many as an expression of tnspjrioa almost an accusation of wrong. As n matter of fact, when applied as in the Postal Saving: Bank, it is a protection of Me honest man from the dishonest.

By experimenting along this line, the Foetal Department has given the country n service not actually required of it. It ha* token a forward step that may prove of great imp-rtaace to the business world. Mast men. today, when griag to s bank where they are not well knonn, would feel insulted if naked to pat their finger prints on the check they wish to cash. Bat when they once get the idea, aa postal depositors have, that sach a request ii in the interest of honest men. and for the prevention of fraud, they will readily acquiesce, and even commend the precaution.

SEA ISLE CITY’S BAKE Sea Isle City will have a bank. This is now assured. Mo stock subscriptions have been inked, but enough requests have been made for stock to start a bank of double the enpitaliMtion planned. This is a good sign, for it shows that people hare confidence in the future of Sea Isle City, and full confidence in the ability of the men who are backing the bank project. Whether or not the bank will pay u it should depends entirely upon the co-operation given it hr the people of Sea Isle City aud adjacent territory. Aad we feel sure that this co-operation aad snppori will be given in rvea a greater measure than can. at this early time, be anticipated.
