FIRE DESTROYS GLENDALE MILL

\ Fire, of unknown origin, early yes
terday morning destroyed the large
-four mill at Glendale, which was
owned and operated by Thomas Baker.
The Carlisle Fire Company, of Mil
ford and the Georgetown Fire Com
pany responded to calls for aid, and
it was very largely through the efforts
of these two companies that the dwell
ing house occupied by the Baker fam
lily was saved from destruction. Al
though there was no water supply
available, the two trucks used their
chemical tanks to advantage, and al
though the house was on fire several
times the firemen were able to save it
by the use of chemicals. Other out
buildings adjacent to the mill were
destroyed. A large quantity of wheat
and corn was stored in the mill. This
grain was a total loss. AS the Chron-
icle goes to press we are unable to
learn whether the loss was covered by
insurance or not.

REPUBLICANS CAN MAKE AN
AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN

''In the campaign of 1924 the Repub-
lican party will not be at any moment
on the defensive. 1t has a constructive
record to its credit and can justly
point with pride to its achievements"
declares the Republican Publicity As
ISOLATION, through its President, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr. The accomplish
ments of the Republican regime are
thus enumerated:
Taking charge of the economic pol
icies of the nation at time when
there was great depression, particu-
larly in agricultural industries, and
when government securities were sell
ing at a great discount, the Republ1-
can Administration adopted and put
into effect policies which have restOr-
ed confidence in all lines of industry
and have brought agriculture far on
the road to normal. There is now
work at good wages for all who desire
it.
This Administration made a salts
factory peace with Germany. Disput-
ed questions in the Pacific were ami
cably settled and an international a.
greemen arrived at for the limitation
of ornaments.
1.-THE internal revenue laws were
revised in such manner as to reduce
taxes for both the small taxpayer and
the large taxpayer. diminishing the
total tax upon the nation to the extent
of approximately billion dollars an
nually.
"a budget law was enacted under
which revenues and expenditures are
afeIo a.
tions from the Federal treasury are
made possible.
"a Republican protective tariff law
was enacted guarding American Ia
Dor and American capital from disas-
trous competition with cheap pro-
ducts from abroad. Nevertheless, in
creased imports demonstrate that this
law was not prohibitive, and increased
exports demonstrate that the act was
not detrimental to our export trade.
''The Republican administration for
INFLATED a plan for turning govern
ment ships over to private owners
with assurance that they would be OPP
Grated under the American flag in and
out of American ports with a saving
of S3O,000,000 a year to the treasury
as compared with present expendi-
lures.
Undesirable immigration has been
restricted; an extensive system OF
farm credits has been established;
great reduction has been made in the
personnel of the army and navy; one
hundred thousand civilian employees
have been taken from the public pay
rolls; adequate provision has been
made for disqualification and rehabill-
tation for the veterans of the world
war.
cat the same time that we have
been kept out of political alliances
with Europe, our relations with Euro
pean nations have been established on
a most friendly basis except in the
case of Russia where we have prop
erlv refused to recognize a govern
ment that fails to uphold the sanctity
of contracts and of property rights.
1.-THE record is one of which every
Republican may well be proud. 1t
calls for no excuses or explanations.
II is a record which the Democrats
NAV we'll view with alarm
