MILFORD schools will close the
first week in June and the COM
mencement will be held on June Sth
in the Plaza Theatre. The Board of
Education has provided for a grad
uation of the High School class in
a form which will attract an unusu-
al audience to hear the speaker of
the evening, DR.. Durkee, Of Wash
ing, D. c., who is one Of the few
men that holds an audience with in-
tense interest from the beginning to
the close of his address. This alone
will be an attraction which will
bring the people to closer interest
in their schools and create more
interest in public school education.

HONEST, DECENT, FOUR
SQUARE government, municipal,
state and federal, is never a gift,
but is always a prize to be won. If
the nice people, who at each session
of legislative body, spend time
and energy in bewailing and revil-
ing bad legislation, would use one
half of this energy by seeing to it in
the first instance that it has compe-
tent men elected to Office, the gain
for the world would be a great one.
1t is a rather curious, but true, fact
that oftentimes the majority Of the
people who bewail the decay Of dem
ocracy are the same people who be-
lieve it is an evidence of exclusive
ness to avoid the primaries and cleo
tion-day polling-booths when the
men whom they criticize are being
nominated and elected.

THE PRICE of wheat in the
month of May at Chicago has reach
ed a point that means $1.75 per
bushel in that city. The market in
New York has closely approached
the two dollar per bushel mark. This
of the wheat market is
mostly speculative, but the facts
back of the market in the United
States, show that there is not only
a shortage in the acreage to be har-
vested this summer, but the same |
conditions exist in all other wheat |
growing countries of the world. Just
after the harvest season in this
country, the prices will be depress-
I'd, if the custom of other years is
| criterion to judge by; but, even
With that as a possibility the far
ners who grow wheat for a money
rop, will have just cause to expect
o receive higher prices for their
7heat next summer and fall, than
last season. The specula-
i've market in grain is an unsteady
however.

THE CLOVER HAY crop is one of
ne best ever grown in Delaware and
armers are this week harvesting
le scarlet clover hay under excel
mt weather conditions. AS a food
,r cattle and horses this clover has
cen a great boon to dairymen; but,
leir greatest hay crop producer is
falfa, which produces from three
} four cuttings each season and
pes not have to be re-seeded each I
ear. Both Of these clovers are l
rowing more in favor with farmers l
no grow and keep dairy stock; for c
ley make almost direct cash re- I
rms each month through both milk 1

ady for both of these clovers; the
zy farmer, who fails to seed his
lids properly, is the one who A
aims that there is no money in S
Trying, or feeding cattle on the g

are land which is above water and t
der favorable conditions, will pro- il
ice profitable crops of clover, fl
ain, fruit or vegetables-provid- c
always, that the farmer will work S
the proper time and use just plain r
mmon sense in transacting the e
siness Of the farm. The fields Of "
