Last nights storm was by far the
seyerest this year Late last evening
the temperature went down and with
the com bined snow and gale few ven-
tured to leave the f1reside. Owing to
the heavy drifts in the locality of the
c. E. Prentice Mfg. company the
1913 trolley, bound for Berlin, left
the tracks, causing a delay for about
an hour. There was no heat in the
car and many passengers walked to
their homes on Berlin street. The troll
ley reached It's destination about 100
O'Clock. A snowplow was kept busy
on the line all night.
Those who suffered most by the
storm were the farmers. Louis EdeI-
son said this morning that the dam
age done at his farm would probably
amount to $1,000. Mr.. Edelson stat
ed that the damage done was princi-
pally to the early peach trees, as
nearly all the buds on these trees
were killed. Trees such as the ap
pie, ounce and plum would not be
damaged materially. Mr.. Edelson's
fruit trees cover a territory of about
twenty-five acres.

the Connecticut Valley Orchard COM
pany. sLaCed tllS n1olii4uS LlAL IL Is
probable that all of the early peach
crop has been destroyed but the late
crop has not as yet started to bud.
It was reported this morning that
there were over seven large auto
trucks left on Berlin street all night
owing 20 the heavy drifts on the turn
pike. A New York merchant who
was returning from Springfield where
he was on q business trip was taken
in by one of the local residents as his

Every line in a newspaper costs the
proprietor something. If it is for the
benefit of the individual it should be
paid for. If the grocer were asked to
contribute groceries to one abundantly
able to pay for them, he would re-
fuse. The proprietor of newspaper
must pay for the free advertising if
the beneficiary does not, and yet it is
one Of the hardest things to be learned
by many, that a newspaper has space
in its columns to rent, and must rent
them to live. To give away rent for
anything less than living rates is as
fatal to a newspaper as for a land
lord to furnish rent free.-Middletown

Delaware College enters her eighty
seventh year with an enrolment of

What is true of Milford can be also
be said of Smyrna. The Milford
Chronicle, in its current issue, says:
"All who come should be welcome
to any town or city, when they come
with the purpose of forming a part of
the population willing to bear. the
public burdens, and be helpful in the
government of the community in
which they settle. Those farmers who
have accumulated property and money
sufficient for them to retire from the
active duty and cares of farming pur-
suits, and who have bought property
in the towns they have selected for
their residence, are welcome additions
to the population in most cases. But
it is unfortunate that they have at
this time bought property instead of
building residences in these towns. By
their act many families are thrown
out of a residence, and they are now
unable to secure a home for the COM
ing year. Milford has some very de-
sirable citizens who retired from
farming years ago, and who have
been active in building up and better
ing the town of their choice. They ad-
vocate and practice improvements to
their homes and TO the property and
streets of the town, and in many ways
the town is better for their coming.
There are others, who retired and
came to the town to await the last
call, when death will remove them
from the affairs of the community.
Such men are of no use to this or. any
other community. They simply came
heer to die. They are opposed to any
improvements to public streets, public
buildings or schools. They would bring
the annoyances of the farm in the
shape of pigs, cows and poultry to the
town to annoy others-they were ac-
customed to these in the rural districts
and can see no reason why others
should be offended by them. This class
is detriment to any community; but,
we have few of these in Milford to
complain about. What we are con-
cerned about now is, where to house
those of our population who must
have homes after January 1st, next.
Who will build even one house?"
