THE FUEL problem will not
cause any serious trouble in the
lower end of Delaware this winter
The people who had their anthracite
supplv in store, are resting easy
while others recognize that btu
mipCus coal burns readily and with
good results, but with just bit OF
additional care; which they are
willing to give for the sake OF nav
ing the coal problem carried out TO
a finish. The wood supply is ample
and wood burning stoves have been
installed, so why worry

NEXT THURSDAY will be
THANKSGIVING Day and as such II
will be observed in all the states
and territOries in response to the
proclamation of the President and
the several Governors. Never have
the people of Delaware had greater
cause for thanksgiving to Almighty
God for prosperity and health, than
they have for the year fast drawing
to a close. Many forms of obser-
vation will be used, but a religious |
duty all the people owe and II
should be first to be observed, and
then the feasting and pleasures OF
moral amusements can follow with
happy glow for having taken part
in recognition of the christian reli-
gion of this great country-the fore
most country in the world Oday.
Thanksgiving is no idle form; it's
a patriotic as well as moral duty.
Let all the people observe the day !
with patriotic pride.

THE REPLY MADE by Governor
Robinson to a telegram asking for
confirmation iof a rumor as to an
appointment of a Secretary of State
which was sent to him last week in
California, where he is attending
the sessions of the National Grange
of which he is an official, was char
acteristic of the man and his good
common sense. In just few words
the Governor disposed of the Incl
dent by telegraphing as his reply {
these words: There is no vacancy
in the Office of Secretary of State {
in Delaware. Why worry?" Under ]
present management of the Office +
the business of Delaware is in safe +
hands. Why worry?
DoS {
IN FILLING the vacancy in the t
craftsmanship of the State Highway {
Commission caused by the death of &
SecEetary of State Taylor, that
body last week unanimously select {
ed Frank V. dupont to occupy that I
important position. The new chair t
man is a son of Senator T. Coleman t
dupont, who built the DUPONT High S
way and gave it to the people of t
Delaware, and he is thoroughly G
familiar with the needs and re- b
quiremenss of the highways in '
every detail. It was an opportunity t
to honor the man for his public SER t
vice to his state, which the people {
of Delaware approve and take v
pleasure in giving expression. p

START TO DECORATE and dis t
play holiday goods next week-its p
only three weeks in which to talk d
to the people through the advertis- o
ing columns of the local papers. n
Just remember the fact, that the g
people have to be told and then g
shown, before they will buy. If you IL
want to keep local trade at home, h
start early or the other fellow will is
get the jump on you, and every sale tC
ost is business lost to Milford. NJ
The day of one-man work in ad- OIL
yertising or display Of holiday at I
ractions, is past like the war. 1t m
s now a unanimous movement by al
Ill merchants in town for the tn
success of all. First the people til
nd crowds must be brought to Mil tn
ord. This can only be brought til
bout by every store making special til
ttractive pictures by eIvergreens, tn
ights and displays of the best hs
tocks that it is possible TO present or
D the public. Get the crowds first; an
hen it is up to you if you fail to tn
ell the goods. In the latter case nj
ither you have failed to make good la
, the public as to quality, price or of
arietv: and, if that is the fault, mi
DUR disappointment can only be as
lid at the door of your own ability Of
, conduct modern business. The IN
eople buy what they see, they do pa
1t ask to be shown-especially wi
,liday goods. Make he greatest ce
splay for Christmas in 1925 that ra'
yer was seen in Milford. mi
