While many perhaps do not thor
oughly agree with some Of the plans
outlined in President Wilson's address,
a strong and forcible message, no
one doubts for a moment that he Is
sincere and honest in his reeOmmen'
dations. The opposition to his recon-
mendations will be confined to his
plan for military and naval prepared
ness. Many. who are even heart
and soul with the President in the
matter Of preparedness. are doubtful
of the practicability Of the continental
army plan, which he strongly recon-
mends. Preparedness will, undOubted-
". be the pivotal point about which
the greatest storm in recent years
will centre in the present Congress.

A manufacturer who takes on
several boys as apprentices in his
shop each year, recently remarked
how hard it is to get a boy to learn
a trade. ga boy goes to school, q"
he said. land after he graduates or
possibly a year or so before he
reaches his senior year, he will stop
school and enroll at business col
lege. Now this may be all right
for some boys, but / hold that three
fourths of the number of boys who
enter business colleges would succeed
better il they had applied themself
at a tnIde. IL costs between $3.50
and $500 to send boy to school, and
few of them finish in less than a
year. He graduates and goes into
an Office at about So per week.
Now take the same boy. put him to
work ct some good trade. and with
no outlay of money. in one year he
will be. if of the average intelligence,
one-thir3 through his trade, and
making nearly So at that. In from
three to four years he is through.
and is making Sc to 81 a day. How
many boys with a business schOOl
education are making from So 70 81 q
day three years after graduatiOn?"
This. however. is only the view taken
by one man. But, nevertheless. there
is a certain amount of truth in it.
To too many boys and girls too. the
pathway of success seems to lie
through a business school, and too
many of them now are working eight
hours a day on a high stool in ar
Office in q hot crowded city, when the
freedom Of the country, with nj
harder work. can be secured at COM
pensstion which at the end of the
year would mean a greater net saving
than from the city position.

A strong argument for good roads
in Delaware is made in the Milford
Chronicle Of current issue which in
advocacy of the DUPONT Boulevard in
Sussex has this TO say: with
boulevard from the Maryland line to
Milford. the farmers will be benefited
directly as individuals, and here is
how the thing will work out. At
present the freight on a crate of eggs
from Selbyville is forty-two cents
to Philadelphia. At the present the
freight on crate Of eggs from Milford
to Philadelphia by the steamboat, is
only 10 cents. With the boulevard
in use from the Maryland line to
Milford. motor trucks capable of
carrying from two to three hundred
crates would be run TO meet the sailing
days of the hoats from Milford. and
coming loaded with crates o. eggs,
the charge would be but 10 cents for
their haul and deliver on the boat.
This would mean only a twenty cent
freight on a crate Of eggs which now
has to pay fOrty-two cents per crate
to get in to Philadelphia. The differ
ence between the two prices would
go 10 the farmer who sells the eggs.
and this clearly shows that every man,
woman or child who keeps hens and
sells eggs, will be helped by the
building and opening Of the boulevard
to Milford. Then again, it would
mean that the auto trucks would take
the freight to towns and to points
along the boulevard from Milford at
a much less rate than is now charged
by railroad transportation and. aside
from the convenience of having
freight delivered to their doors. the
farmer will again save money by a
direct lessening of the freight charges
on his phosphates, on his machinery
and even upon delivery of his crops
to convenient shipping points. These
are the possibilities which confront
the people Of Sussex county with 1
boulevard built and in operation. T.
Smyrna times., 1915-12-15

these can be added many other bene-
fits which will certainly accrue in
time as the opportunities given by a
great roadway across the country are
reslized by the people. It is a fact
that no railrosd was ever built but
that some individual felt that great
injustice was done to him or TO her,
but in after years this becomes a real
benefit not only to them. but to those
who follow after them. Speed the
building of the boulevard through
Sussex county, for the benefit of all
the people.

HECKERS' SUPERLATIVE FLOUR:

A pure, wholesome, bakable flour is a joy to the whole family. for a good bread is the staff of life, as the saying goes. there fore it is with more than ordi- nary satisfaction that we are enabled to announce to you that every empty 24h pound sack of Heckers Speculative Flour will be redeemable at Plaut -Cadden Co.'s at five hundred votes each This well-known Milling con- cern's products have entered more homes to stay than any flour sold in the East for the simple reason that the article carries such merit that a simple trial renders it thereafter indis-. pensable. To enforce this con- viction into such homes as have hitherto remained among the uninitiated we determined upon this large vote of 500 for the empty sack. Don't wait until you have used up the flour, but empty same into another recep- tacle and bring the sack without delay to the Plaut- Gladden. Co.'S Store. Just consider that ten sacks alone represent 5000 votes. Spread this news among your friends quickly that you may share in the enormous total of votes these sacks will produce.
