MILFORD, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1925
EVERY day in every way Uncle
Sam seems to be getting debtor and

THE dove of peace seems to be

WE HAPPEN TO KNOW some
men who have such a ravenous
sraving for publicity. Sometimes We
almost believe they would readily
commit suicide if they were dead
sure they would read the press no

SOME ARE JUST so constituted
that they can never see a thing only
in the darker shades. The eye just
simply won't take in any light. |
These folks are sure to keep about
you an atmosphere that is depress-

his best and be forever under the
impact of tempest.

THAT THE FARMER is entitled
to cost of production, plus a reason
able profit for his products is an
undisputed fact. The average farmer
in the past, has paid too little at
tention to his overhead or cost of
running his business.
He is coming to realize more and
more that rather than try to fix sell
ing prices high 'mough to cover
present cost of 2 oduction and profit
he must cut..d0wn cost of produc-
ton, because farming is a business
of world competition.

THE PRIMARY election held last
Saturday by the Republican Party
in Wilmington, resulted in an over
whelming victory Of Mayor Forrest

been accepted with good grace by l
those who made the contest at the
polls; they have announced their in {
tention to support the ticket as nom l
mated last Saturday, at the election
to be held on June 9Th. This will I
bring harmonious action and GER S
tain victory at the polls for the l
whole Republican ticket; for Will c
mington is a Republican city.
