A PATRIOTIC THOUGHT

] Recently on a Sunday evening al
FrankfOrd an address was delivered by
a lady representing the w. c. T. u. II
was in the VI. +. Church, and the lady
said that she could not refrain from
4 speaking about the great war; and her
remarks were better than a physic for
some Of the audience. for II must have
worked upon both body and soul For,
be IL known. we have in Frankford those
who profess 10 be opposed 10 wares
pecialy il they or theirs are liable 70 have
10 take part, or contribute toward the
burdens. About Z a m. in walking to
the depot the next day, / saw man Of
this stripe hoeing In the garden, and
stopping, casually asked which he would
prefer, "the cholera, or a bad case Of
self condemnation in his heart-f one
case could be cured as easily as the
other?" He replied, The cholera -
There are those who will not change
their minds. even though the whole world

sunday brought a palor TO their faces
and "a doeged, set expression followed
that. Ii has been said that Wise men

THIS BRINGS IT HOME TO YOU

The most tremendous issue Of all
human history will be determined on
the Western Front and in Milford,
Delaware. That issue is whether or
not civilization and freedom as we
know them shall continue to exist;
whether the people of Delaware shall
be free or whether they shall be the
slaves of Prussia; whether your prop
erty shall be confiscated to help pay
the German war debt; whether your
family shall be subjected TO the in
famies of the Hun.
The soldiers on the Western front
are giving their answer. What is the
answer of Milford, Delaware?
The war cannot be won unless we
produce more food. More food can
not be produced unless farmers Sc
cure sufficient labor Sufficient labor
cannot be secured unless town peO-
pie qualified for such service vOlun-
teer for farm work in their cOmmun
tiles during the rush seasons OF culti-
walton and harvest; unless all idlers
are forced to work; unless high school
boys are utilized when possible; un-
less every man, now engaged in non
essential work, helps to produce food
in his own county.
This will be hard, prOsaic, unrO-
mantle workout without sufficient
farm labor Delaware will fail of max
imum food production.
Farmers would prefer to have
plenty of permanent. well-trained
help Town people would prefer to
keep out of the sun and avoid the
backache And both prefer to keep
their families and their property out
of the clutch of the Hun. Hard work
in France and hard work at home will
hold off the Hun. Nothing else will.
The boys at the front are working!!
What about Milford, Delaware?

grudge them this draft Of men and
women. for we have many more OF
such to care for the State Of Delaware

It is a mistaken idea that the pres
ent course will help along any one
political line which is causing the
present attitude of the Morning News
towards thefpeOple of the lower coun-
ties, and the Governor in particular
and it will be we'll to quote from a
great authority-"God forgive them
for they know not what they do
Wilmington should never be permit
ted to dominate the State politically
and that will never be permitted by
the rural districts Of Delaware. There
is too much gross ignorance OF rural
conditions. and the need OF the bal
ance of Delaware, to give any large
to Wilmington in State
affairs.

FROM THE INCOME TAX collected
bv the State of Delaware for 1918
$3.50 900 of the whole amount will go
towards supporting the public schools.
and the balance will go toward build
ing improved highways by the State
Highway Commission. This will give
to the public schools an addition OF
about $4,000 as State aid for edu-
cation, and may possibly increase the
amount one hundred dollars for each
single district. AS there must be
many improvements made in the
schools this summer, this additional
money will be helpful.
