ENTERS COMMUNITY LIFE
Few People Realize How Great
Service the Grange is
Constantly Rendering

Few people realize the extent to
which the Grange organization of the
country enters into the community
life of its local fields, in addition to
the individual service it renders it's
members and the broad legislative
program of the organization in a ma
tional way. Some outstanding phases
of this branch of Grange work indi-
cate the breadth of the Grange vi
sion:-
In Delaware each subordinate
Grange is appointing a public af-
fairs" committee, which seeks ont
channels of local betterment and en-
lists Grange energies to meet them.
In Massachusetts prizes are offered
IN substantial cash amounts to the
20 local Oranges which carry out the
most effective community service
program during the year. In New
Jersey the Grange has gotten to-
gether conferences with other agri-
cultural and rural organizations and
a combined program, including many
local improvement projects, has been
gotten under way. In Ohio the
Grange initiated similar conference
with other farm organizations and
all agreed to a division of labor"
program in rural affairs, whereby |
each has its own part in the years
outline for rural welfare.
In several states a definite policy

WOMEN NOT SWAYED
BY FALSE PLEDGES
They Believe Firmly in Cool
idge, Says Mrs. Alvin T.
Hert, National Leader.

Republican women are not allow
ing their emotions to run away with
them. There will be no split in
their ranks. Promises held out by
LaFOllette and The Socialist Third
party, hold no appeal for them.
They will vote for Coolidge. This
is the manner in which Mrs. Alvin
T. Hert, vice chairman of the Re
publican National Committee. sums
up the outlook for November 4th.
Mrs. Hert says that without ex-
ceptiOn reports of Republican ma
tiOnal cOmmitteewOmen from every
state are the same in one respect.
They all say that women are for
Coolidge because they believe I'm
him as a man. They know Of the
high principles for which he stands.
They have watched his record dur
ing the LSSt year and see that he Is
a man of conviction, and at all
times stands for that which he
thinks is for the good of the ma
jOrity. They say that women ap-
preciate his firm stand for an eco
nOmical administratlon-the fact
that he has evaded no issue, COM
promised no principle. They know
that President Coolidge and the Re
publican party stand for protection.
This means much to the woman in |
industry and the wife of the work
ng man.

white House.
A large body of thought in the
United States holds to the opinion
that the whole purpose Of LaFol-
lette is to throw the election into
the congress, where he and his fol-
lowers probably would WELD the
balance of power, and this small
group would name the next Presi-
dent of the United States. Natural
ly, this would put that President
under heavy obligation to the La
Toilette group, and he as its leader
would exercise tremendous power,
even though his followers represent
the smallest fraction of the makeup
Of the United States senate.
The summing up Of the situation
is this:
Voting for LaFollette is voting
for Bryan.
Voting for Davis, by the same
analysis, is voting for Bryan.
Voting for Coolidge is voting for
Coolidge.

That Is about what the coming
election resolves itself into. A vote
for Davis is a vote for Bryan. It is
generally believed that Davis cannot
possibly muster the necessary ma
jOrity Of the electoral votes to be
named President. A vote for La-
Toilette is a vote for Bryan. It is
not claimed by the most enthusias-
tic supporter of LaFollette that he
could by any remote chance be
elected. What he could do, however,
is throw the election into the con-
gress, with the chances favOring
the naming of Bryan as vice presi-
dent. The house being unable to
give a majority to any one Of the
candidates for President, as it is at
present organized, the senate, under
the Constitution, would elect a vice
president and the vice president
elected by the senate would become
President on March 4. That is why
a vote for Davis or LaFOllette is a
vote for Bryan, and q vote for Cool
idge is a vote for Coolidge.

TRUCK STOLEN FROM
WALNUT STREET

A Ford truck owned by Frederick
Higman, who resides at the northern
entrance of Milford, was stolen from
Walnut street about twelve O'Clock
Wednesday night Mr.. Higman had
gone to the restaurant Of Harry Hill
to get something to eat and left his
truck standing near the place. When
he came out the vehicle was gone.
An all night search was made in an
e11ort to secure clew as to the
identity of the thieves, but it was
not successful. At the present time
Milford seems to have become the
centre for the work of crooks. Two
mysterious fires have been started
here within the past two weeks. and
at least one 'lost" pocketbook has
been reported to the authorities.

Base ball fans of lower Delaware
will meet with the managers and Of

of President Cook in Georgetown, to
discuss plans for the 1925 season.

''BOB'5 BUNKEM" IN TOTAL COLLAPSE
WHEN HIS CHARGES ARE ANALYZED.
appeal to Class Prejudice by Accusing American
Business of MonOpolistic Conspiracy
Not Supported by Facts

WashingtOn.-Sen LaFOllette
opening his campaign with a speech
on Labor day, pictured the Ameri-
can people as being in a terrible
plight, and offered a bill of partic-
ulars. He also proposed his RENE
dies. His speech was an appeal to
class prejudice. The facts" upon
which his speech was based have
been subjected to careful scrutiny,
and his allegations do not stand up.
He said a gigantic mOnOpOlist
conspiracy of American business is
sucking the blood, morals and pOck-
etbooks Of the American people.
The truth is the Republican admin
istration has fought monopoly and
preserved free competition, as
proven by the actual price of neces-
stiles. Examining Mr.. LaFOuette's
speech in detail how does it square
with the facts?
l. Exactly what do we mean by
the 'system'?' asked LaFOllette,
and answering his own question. he
said: 1--WE mean the combination
which rules the coal industry of
this country and which fixes the
price to the consumer"
The fact is that in the bituminous
coal industry, which comprises So /
per cent of all coal production,
there is no single corporation or
group which controls more than 8
per cent of the total output. Eight
thousand Independent operators are
In active competition, half of them
HnlI1nu l.
luminous prices are lower today
than in 1916, though wages are 100
per cent above pre-war.
2. He said: I'VE mean the bank
Ing combine which, through its con-
troll of the federal reserve board.
arbitrarily fixes interest rates and
controls credit in the interest Of the
big monopoly system. 1t initiated
four years ago policy of deflation,
causing a shrinkage in farm prices
since 1920"
This detiatiOn was inaugurated {
and carried out under the Demo
cratic administration. Interest 8
rates were at once lowered when the E
Republican administration came in I
to office. Furthermore the Republi- t
can administration appointed a l.
farmer on the federal reserve board c
and created the immediate credit t
system for the farmers special V

LaFollette or if the states should

unable to vote, no choice could be
made, as 25 states are needed to
elect the President.
! Attention would then center on
the senate. Here the state rule does
not apply. Each senator Of the SO
mas separate vote. For a quorum,
tWo-thirds of the SO must be pres
ent, or "a, and for a choice Of vice
president, a bare majority, or 40,
is necessary.
However, in the senate only two
candidates for vice president having
the highest showing in the electoral
college may be voted for, and this
would narrow the choice down to
General Dawes and Governor
Bryan.
Present Situation important.
AS the present senate would Sc
lect, the situation there now is i'm
pOrtant. There are nOmInally 81
Republican senators, but this num-
Der includes LaFOllette of WiscOn-
sin and BrOOkhart of Iowa. and
others who of late have seldom
voted with the Republicans. Forty
fnRnn
Gratis, and two, Ladd and Frazier,
are listed as Farmer-LabOrites
If Bryan can hold the 43 Demo
cratic senators in line and get the
votes Of the two Farmer-LabOr SEN
atOrs, this would give him a nucleus
Of 10 votes. By securing four of the
sO-called Republicans, such as
BrOOkhart and LaFOllette, this ma
1Ority would put into the White
House a man for whom the Ameri-
can people had not voted for Presi-
dent, and who would be a minority
choice.
If Bryan could secure only the 48 l
Democratic senators, the two Farm z
senator's, and three such L
men as LaFOllette, the election 7
would be deadlOcked, and the coun- J
try thrown into a state Of chaos g
never before faced. Throwing the C
election Into the congress would Of a
tself have a terrific effect upon |,
business and industry the country Q
over, causing a wave Of depression g
which would affect everyone, as this "
would cause months Of uncertainty n

3. Mr.. LaFOllette said: "The
consumption per capita of such a
staple food as bread is very much
less than 1t was a few years ago
=. 1t means that there are
many people in the United States
today who are hungry for bread"
Bread consumption has been de-
creasing in the United States in re-
cent years, but Mr.. LaFOllette dis
torts the reason. Every nation de-
creases its consumption of bread
when it increases its consumption
OF meats, fruits, sugar and other
palatable foods demanded by high
er standard of living. Senator La
FOllette attempts to conceal the in
creased consumption Of other agri- |
cultural products. Under the low
standards of living in Europe the |
consumption of breadstuffs amounts |
TO ~ per cent of the total diet as
against 20 per cent in the United
States.
The following table shows the in
crease in consumption of foOdstuffs
per capita in the United States in

There are about 700 independent
competing packers in the United
States. Three of the "big five" to
whom Mr.. LaFOllette refers, have
had to entirely refinance their busl-
ness due to enormous losses; and
one Is in the hands of a receiver. =
The five have earned less than l per l
cent on goods handled during the
past four years.
5. Mr.. LaFOllette said tariffs
must be reduced. He attacked the
whole FOrdney bill and demanded
Rll-arOund reduction.
Take the tariff off dairy products
and you destroy that industry; take
the duty off wool and you destroy
the sheep industry; take the tariff
off California fruits and nuts and

Organized German Labor
and Escort Companies

Do you know who directed the des-
tiny of the German prisoners of war
taken by American troops during the
late fuss abroad? His name and title
is Lieut. Col. William Briswold Cough,
at present deputy county surveyor of
San Diego county and a member Of
the San Diego post of the American
Legion. Colonel Cough is a veteran
of the Mexican border trouble, enlist
ing in the army IN 1916. When the
World war included the United States
he was sent to France with the COM
mission of captain. With the Fifteenth
Field artillery he was wounded in ae-
ton and then was paced on the gen
eral staff, where ne took complete
charge of the priso.er-of-war depart
ment of the A E. f., and in that
capacity organized the German labor
and escort companies.
