GOOD ROADs9 THE ONLY
ANSWER.

An oil man from Kentucky
who was driving through th'
country happened to hit the roac
from Blanchard to Clc.kasha dur
ing a muddy spell and he de-
clared that Grady county has the
worst roads he encountered any
where. Perhaps he was right
about it at the particular time
when he spoke; anyway, we are
not going to stop to argue with
him for, without going into the
merits or demerits Of any com
muniy ia this respect we are
ready 10 concede that our roads
are bad enough What are we
going to do about it2
AS we view the matter there is
only one answer to the good
roads question and that is hard
surface roads. We can rave as
much as we please about il and

REGARDLESS of how much money
we spend ana the amount of cf-
fort we may put forth. we are

long as we have dirt roads.
The truth is that. no matter

"FLU" EPIDEMIC is NOT

DR.. Dawson, city haalfth officer
that there it little likelihood Of a
recurrence Of the flu epidemic

able, the danger Of its attaining
The proportions that prevailed
last season are very remote, ac-
cording to DIR. Dawson
II is worthy Of note that medi-
cal authorities of the highest
repute are in accord with the lo-
cal health officer, although there
has been a persistent "flu" prop
aganda in certain quarters. Ere
quently, one secs newspaper re-
ports quoting doctors, who have
no objections to seeing their
names in print, to the effect that
the country is facing another epi-
demic and that the public is lead
to believe that it is as sure to
come as Christmas.

Milford Grange almost doubled its
numbers during the month of Febru-

have carried on the active campaign.
From present indications, another class
will be initiated in April. If there are
any who wish to join then. whose ap-
plications are not already in. they
should be presented during this pres
ent month. The thinking men and wo-
men of the vicinity are realizing more

son Of the ideas OF different members
is of interest and benefit.
On Saturday the topic was "The
New School Code" The attendance
was large, the discussion general, and
the interest keen. A committee was
appointed to draft resolutions to the
State Legislature recommending and
urging that the the proposed New
School Code be enacted into a law.
Next Saturday Mr. Gates will speak
on the selection of eggs for Matching

many helpful hints from his talk. Fol-
lowing it will be a question box hour.
This is a requested topic, so all bring
questions and be ready to help discuss
them.
Every Granger will be interested in
the great meeting to be held at Ar

will be present and will discuss the

HOUR MORE EACH DAY
STARTING MARCH 3OTH
Daylight Saving Resumed the Last
Sunday in March, Is Permanent
Policy Of L. S.

There seems to be a rather popular
misapprehension that the daylight saw
ing law was a purely war measure de-
signed to meet the eXigencies of super
production to beat the Hun. The home
gardeners for whom the law was en-
acted so that they might have an extra
hour of evening daylight to give to
their agriculture, have been writing
to their Congressman urging that the
law be re-enacted for at least another
year and telling Of the advantages Of
the scheme, and so far as reported
no one has found the enforcement Of
the plan that first gave such satisfac-
tory results in Europe a hardship.
To settle all doubts as to the law and
its application the following clause
which is the meat of the whole statute,
is quoted:
That at o'clock ante-meridan OF
the last Sunday in. Marcn of each year
the standard time of each zone shall
be advanced one hour, and at o'clock
ante-meridian of the last Sunday in
October each year the standard time
OF each zone shall, by the retarding
one, be returned to the astronomical
time of the degree of longitude govern
ing each zone. respectively"
So it will appear daylight saving is
a permanent policy in America unless
some future Congress should repeal
the law which, to judge by results
achieved, is very unlikely.
1t is quite possible that the statis-
tical experts will never be able to fix
the exact value to the country of day
light savings. Benjamin Franklin,
who was the original thiTty-second
degree thrift expert, made a fight for
the measure something like 1876 years
ago. but he could not put it over. Had
we been saving daylight ever since his
time there is no telling what would
have happened.

CHRONICLE IN NEW FORM

The Milford Chronicle Publishing
Company has this week placed an or
der for a large cylinder press, which
will enable the issuing of a larger
newspaper in the future. 1t will pos
sibly be two months before the new
piece of machinery is running in the
Chronicle plant When it has been ac-
cepted after trial by this company,
the size OF the Chronicle will be chang
ed from six columns to each page to
seven. In doing this the publishers
of the Milford Chronicle will provide
much more reading matter than under
the six column arrangement, and with
the more modern equipment for print
ing the paper, will be assured of more
promptly handling the paper each
week. When the war broke out the
publishers of the paper had reached
point where the change was to have
been made, but the war conditions, to-
gether with the scarcity of newspaper.
made it advisable to wait until after
the close of the conflict before making
the change.
The new press purchased this week
is one Of the largest twO-revOlution
presses made, and when installed on
the floor of the Chronicle plant will
enable the handling of approximately
three times as much book and color
work as at present turned out in the
cylinder press room of this company.

United States last Tuesday at noon the
political representatives of Delaware

publicans and one Democrat. At that
time United States Senator Salisbury
stepped down from that Office and was
succeeded by Senator Lewis Heisler
Ball, and Congressman Albert F. Polk
was succeeded by Congressman Caleb
R. Layton. With this change in the
complexion of Delaware's representa-
tion at Washington, Delaware's place
as a Republican State is again assum-

strife on the part of the Republicans.

With the passing Of Senator Salisbury
as a factor in the matter of patronage
Senator WolcOtt, remaining Democrat
ic Senator from Delaware, will dis
pose of all Federal patronage in Del
aware. The Salisbury followers who
have been enjoying the fruits of pO-
litical patronage for the past few years
will be left in the lurch, while the
Wolcott faction will enjoy these plums
for at least two years more. His first
duty will probably be the nomination
of a postmaster at Edgemoor to fill
the vacancy caused by the death last
Saturday of William Carter. Senator
Wolcott will also name United States
marshall for Delaware. the term of

MEETING TO DISCUSS
PROPOSED SCHOOL CODE

A meeting has been called for Tues
day evening next, March 11th, at
o'clock, at which public discussion of
the proposed new school code for the
State Of Delaware will be held. This
piece of legislation is by far the most
important that has come before the
Delaware legislature this session, and
il is the duty of every parent 10 attend
this meeting to learn just what is pro-
posed under the new school laws. This
code was drawn by the same persons
who made the survey of the State Of
Maryland school system, which system
is acknowledged to be excellent. The
bill is one that will assuredly pass
the present legislature, but if any
necessary amendments are to be made
to it now is the time for discussion
OF these changes. At the meeting in
Milford Tuesday evening next the Com
missioner of Education, A. r. Spaid,
will discuss the proposed code and
give any information which may be
asked of him. ]. Hall Anderson, for
merly OF Milford, but now a practicing
lawyer in Dover, and others, will also
talk on the proposed changes in the
school laws of Delaware. The date Of
the meeting is Tuesday evening next,
March 11th. at O'Clock. The place
is in Armory Hall, Milford. The real
reason for the meeting is to get your
ideas as to the code as presented. You
should make it a point to be there.
