the decision Of a majority of his party;
The power of the minority is thus reduced
TO a minimum. The speaker pointed
out some of the defects IN the SYSTEM
especially as applied to National conyen-
tions. and showed what President wilson
has done to remedy these defects. IN
conclusion, Dr. Willoughby said that the
Initiative, the Referendum, and the Ke-
call were an outward sign Of the efforts
to increase the control over party govern
ment and to make parties directly re-
sponsible to the people. Personally, ne
said, he favored centralized authority
having much power and directly respon-
sble to the people.
on the evening of March 5, Professor
c. A. Short gave an illustrated lecture
under auspices of the Agricultural Club
OF Delaware College, in the College
oratorv, on the subject of Good Roads
and the Farmer. " Professor Short first
stated that the improvement OF roads IS
a problem of vital importance to the
farmer and to the student of agriculture.
Good roads, he said are advocated by
four classes of people: by the automobilist,
to increase his pleasure; by the politician,

furnish a source of graft; by the engineer,
sometimes for the purpose of providing
himself with a good job at a large salary;
and by the farmer when once he realizes
how much they will mean to him in a
business way. Trunk lines between
cities, the speaker continued, are usually
of small benefit to the farmer The best
road from the point of view of the pro-
ducer, is not the straight road between |
large towns, but the road that will give |
10 the greatest number of shippers an !
Easy access to some shipping point. of
thirteen benefits ascribed to good roads, |
he farmers receive nine directly, and |
shares the other four with the transpOrta-
ion company, the merchant, and the
Ultimate consumer. Many of the poor
Dads can be made serviceable for as or
70 weeks of the year by use of the King
Dad drag. This drag will produce road
urface of from 90 to so per cent ficiency
N dirt roads at an average cost of $40
mile per year In closing, Professor
hort said that farmers as a class, in
rder to make the most of farming, must
dopt an effective system of road main
so that paved roads once built ,
hall not be permitted to wear out; and
nat sand-clay top soil and gravel roads
lust be built to supplement the trunk
mes built of macadam in order to make
ny system of roads really affective.
Milford chronicle., 1914-03-06

THE result Of constant agitation Of the
need of lower Delaware of good roads is
having beneficial effect, BY arousing a
general interest and a realization that
good roads are certainly a benefit to the
property owners, as well as a comfort to
those who have to use the reads. The
discussion of how to get roads at the
least cost, is growing more interesting,
and at the same time, the process of
thinking out plans is widening the view
of all. 1t is an impossibility to get good
roads without a large expenditure Of
money, and it is now clearly recognized
that the practice of simply rounding up
a narrow road and proclaiming it good
road is all a mistaken idea and a waste
Of money There is bat one way to build
a road, and that is, to make it full forty
feet wide, grade off the little hills and
fill the low places, and build a real road
bed on which to place whatever mater
ials that are to be used as a surfacing for
wearing purposes. The proposal to hold
another great mass meeting of all inter
ested in better roads, is a good one, and
It will be another step nearer to building
good roads. What Sussex needs now, is |
% borrow one million dollars, and with |
t build two main roads across the county
forth and south, and another pair across
he county east and west. When this is
lone four arteries of good road will have
'een constructed, upon which the travel
f the main lines will concentrate, and
hen the lateral roads will soon be built
ut of gravel, or other materials, to con
ect with these main lines of travel all
which will be in reach of all the peo-
lie. A set of roads of this character will
e of as much benefit to Sussex county s
5 was the opening of the present rail- {
lad systems, and the wealth Of the land {
Eners will be increased more than dou- .
e the cost of building the roads. It a
ay be that the conservative folks of I
lssex will be appalled, at a suggestion of :,
is kind, but they are facts which have n
zen proven in past experiences in other Ii
irts of Delaware, and they will be pro- a
n again when Sussex county braces
'rself to take the plunge. Let every
dy who is interested attend the meet
g when it is held.

THERE seems to be a general realization
that more modern fire apparatus is needed
in mcst of the towns on the Peninsula.
and in Easton, Lewes, Dover and other
places steps have been taken to provide
the latest FIRE fighting appliances. In
Milford there is a demand for the same
equipment by the fremen, but as vet the
Town Council, or the Light and Water
Commission, which is expressly charged
with supplying and maintaining suitable
fire fighting paraphernalia, have made
no move towards provision for fighting
fires other than the old hose carts drawn
by hand, and the hooks and ladders
There is a sullen quietness on the part Of
those in authority, and this must represent
the people who are responsible for them
Should two fires of any size start in Mil
ford at the same time and in widely sep
arated points, there would have to be a
great FIRE as the result of the present dis
regard ofthe conditions Of the fire fighting
facilities now provided. Because we have
not had a great fire, is no reason we will
not have a calamity like those which have
visited other peninsular towns. We hone
this calamity may not befall Milford. but
we are very susceptible to it, BY reason
of our present conditions. The firemeu
are trying to raise money to secure proper
but this is a scathing arraign-
ment of the people Of Milford, as having
a lack of interest in their town and the
safety Of property. If the fremen can
build property, and we believe they
'an, they should be supported literally;
md literally does not mean a few pennies
loled ont for an entertainment, but it s
means tangible subscriptions of sums c
quail to the property interests held, or
s large as the liberal minded feel willing O
contribute. A fire in any of the manu- /,
lcturing establishments Of Milford, would i.
lean loss far greater to all the people p
an the cost Of even an automobile FIRE n
uck and chemical engine. IL

GLENDALE

The storm that descended upon us with
rain. snow and terrific winds on Sunday
and Monday, shook every house in the
community, vet we have learned of no
serious damage so far. Some nallbuild-
ings were overturned and roofs blown
I off the material being carried far in
every direction, but at no great damage.
Notwithstanding the very disagreeable
weather, the entertainment given on last
Friday evening by the graduating class
at the High School, was a most success
/ full as we'll as pleasant affair, the net
proceeds amounting to $40. This class
will graduate about the first of May,
with a roll of five bright and energetic
/ bows and one attractive young lady. The
principal, Prof West, is particularly
proud Of them and expects to show some
fine talent at the graduating exercises.
The scheduled farmers meeting on
Friday afternoon at Reed rs factory was
great success. There was a great out
pouring of farmers who seemed intent
on business to improve their condition.
They all seem tired of growing tomatoes
and realize that the low prices now offer
ed bv the factories is a ruinous price,
and so they will grow berries, melons
and other fruits as farmers of other sec
tions are doing. The president of the
meeting, ]. A. Ellegood made lengthy
and earnest address, setting forth the
object of the meeting, after which gen.
eral and lively discussion was enjoyed,
then they came to the practical object
and promised to grow other crops. A
guarantee of 81 z acres of melons and |
go acres of strawberries were pledged |
On next Monday afternoon at O'Clock, |
at the same place, speakers of experience
and much success with be with us to ad- /
dress the farmers on the best methods /
of growing these crops, and it is hoped /
that every progressive farmer will be
present to hear these experienced men
tell rs the best way to grow and market
crops, so come out, Brother Farmer, and
don't forget the date.
A wonderful valentine gift has been |
received at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Jester, in the shape of a chubby
little baby boy. Both mother and child
are doing well. The little new conner
has been named Samuel Oliver.
Our new Postmaster, T. D. Good, has

The death of Col. Tom Curry last week
vas a severe shock to his many friends

FROM all parts Of the country where
tomatoes are grown for the canneries, and
especially at Baltimore, there is a persis-
tent statement that the canned goods
market is absolutely glutted with the
goods packed in 1918, and that there are
few offerings from Gamers to contract
with the growers for tomatoes to be grown
in 1914. This persistent circulation of
this character of news may be straight
and legitimate information from the hand
lers of canned goods, but, there is dis
position to accept it as an attempt to
discourage growers and thus enable the
packer to secure contracts at a less fig
ure. Be that as it may, the facts are
plain that the farmer is to feel the effect
of the lower cost of living in the lower
price Of canned goods. Is it fact, that
the Gamers in 1918 packed sufficient to-
matoes to last the entire country two full
years, and possibly sufficient to provide
for any extraordinary demand for canned
Should the trouble with Mex
co result in war which must necessar-
ly cover a period of at least two years
'efore the army could be Withdrawal, the
lemand for canned tomatoes would make
tremendous hole in the supply now
isible, and result in a soaring of prices
o the people until another crop could be
rown and canned. The Gamers are
robab.y looking after their own inter
SITS, but the growers after all are the
nes who are the most interested.

THE litework of a man seldom comes
to the notice Of those most interested in
results until his work is either ended bv
death, or its completion, and such was
partially the case in the life of J. Milton
Davidson, who recently died at Wyoming.
Delaware, after years Of fighting against
tuberculosis. To him in large measure
is due the realization by the city of vii
mington of the opportunities for business
from the Delaware and Maryland PENN
sula, which for years passed on to Phila-
delphia. It was the constant writing Of
letters Of news interest to the people of
the Peninsula as we'll as to the people of
Wilmington, that the awakening came to
both, that there should be a closer bust
ness interest between the only city on the
Peninsula and the people living thereon.
Reporting the news in a readable way TO
the great daily papers of Philadelphia.
awakened a general interest in Delaware.
and a realizing sense that Delaware is not
a barren waste Of sand, where only peaches
and corn are cultivated. From the cam
paign of education brought about bv
writers who followed after the example /
of J. Milton Davidson, the world has
been informed Of the rich opportunities
that lay at the very doors of the great
cities Of the east, on the Delaware and
Maryland Peninsula. Business has been
the prime mover IN all of this develop-
ment, and yet to men like I. Milton Dav-
dson is due the credit for blazing the
way. We have many now who are doino
work which will only be appreciated
after their labors have come to an end
The most unsatisfactory incidents in the {
ives Of men of this character. is the fact
hat their efforts are belittled, and their
lttempts to get beneficial results for the
'ntire body of the people, are attacted bv
he men and women who are iucapable 5
# doing anything for the advancement :
i either business, social or political af- !
airs, while they criticised the work of l
lese men as acts of selfishness and for a
ersonal aggrandisement. ]. Milton Dav- .
ison died poor in this worlds goods. as 2
ave many other men who worked for t
lie public welfare, yet the cry is often a
used against such men, that they are o o
ter the loaves and fishes for profit o
very man is worthy of his hire. and the C
en- who work for the public without s :
larry never receive sufficient reward to "
able them to lay by money or property p,
the lean years of old age. When men Of
this character die, the entire State a a
'es one of its character builders. Life to
but a stage on which each PLAYS his fl

N do is never recognized until after tl h

For several years Holsters have been
caught at the Delaware Breakwater at
Lewes, Delaware, and at one time the
supply was ample for lower Delaware and
the hotels at Rehoboth; but for the past
five years the entire catch Of Holsters has
been insufficient to supply the local de-
mand at Lewes, where the buyers from
Cape May, New Jersey, have come to get
Holsters for the hotel trade in that sea
shore resort. A recent report from the
United States Government makes this
statement as to what has been done bv
the department to stock and have pro-
,ected the waters at Cape May with lob
5ters, viz:
Last year the United States govern
nent authorities planted about 900 900
obsters in Cold Spring inlet, at the en-
rance to Cape May harbor. Little lob
iters may now be seen crawling over the !
itone piles, and the spawnis found cover
ng nearly everything taken out of the |
water near the stone ietties. EVERYTHING |
indicates that the experiment will prove |
Dig success. The Holsters are protected |
~ law from being caught for four years. |
-tter which, it is expected, their catch |
viii be large and profitable

THE Gamers are inclined to the belief
that very limited acreage should be con
tracted for by them during the season of
1914, and that this plan will restrict the
production of tomatoes, and thereby re-
lieve the markets, which are now over
supplied with canned stocks of this vege-
table. We doubt very much if this will
prove to work out satisfactorily to them.
for the reason that in many districts
growers have ceased to contract for anv
acreage, and plant with view Of selling
upon the open market This will be
the case in 1914 in many places where
they have heretofore contracted with
the Gamers, and the trade conditions
will iuctuate so that owners Of canneries
will take the chance. At present the
Gamers are offering from a fiat price of
eight dollars per ton. to fourteen cents
per basket for tomatoes to be delivered
at their factories this season, and that
seems to be satisfactory to the growers
generally.

ALL dogs in Sussex County must be
muzzeled when they are at large in any
part of the county, commencing with
Sunday, March lst, 1914 This is in
accord with a law passed at the last
session of the Legislature, and it applies
to Sussex County only. Any dog at home
or about the farm or premises where it
habitually makes its home, can be per
mitted its liberty without a muzzel; but
if it should pass from its owners property
the laws applies This law is to be en-
forced in the towns as well asin the rural
districts, and it was intended as a safe
guard against the 'mad-dog' scare dur
ing the summer season, as well as for
the protection of rabbits and game by
the destruction resulting from hunting
dogs being permitted to run at large dur
ing the summer season. The law in full
is printed in another part of this paper.
