MILFORD. FRIDAY, JAN. 1, 1926

THE MILFORD CHI R ONIC L E
wishes it's readers and the people of
Delaware a Happy New Year. The
past twelve months have been ones
of prosperity and good cheer. Busi-
ness has been good in nearly all
lines, production has been high,
crops have been good and remuner-
ative, while labor has been employ
ed at very high wages, with only
isolated cases of unemployment. The
most of those who have been out of
work have been so from choice. In
turning toward the new year of 1926
if should be with understanding of
the cause for the general prosper
ity which came in the year just
passed. 1t would be miraculous If
there were not differences of opin-
ion as to how and why, the results
brought about prosperity; and, no
individual would venture to write
his opinions, or proclaim them as
the true and infallible cause for the
splendid business record of the
year 1925. Yet each individual who
reasons and studies the situation
from a national point of view, must
admit that the splendid markets OF
the United States made it possible
for prosperity, and that through
protective tariff that market has
been maintained for the people OF
this country first of all. The farm
ers have much to thank the tariff
for in the year just closed and they
are assured for at least four years
more, that the same favorable con-
ditions will prevail. Delaware has
had a very prosperous year and with
industry and intelligence applied to
the problems of 1926, the new year
will repeat this experience.
%eS
EACH week we read of barns or
other farm property burning and
that there was no insurance carried
by the owner. One of the main aims
of the Farm Bureau in Delaware
should be, to urge all farmers to
understand and show to the owners
of farm property or stock on farms,
the business necessity for them to
carry insurance. The dangerous
habit of smoking about farm build
ings, is responsible for much of the |
loss; but, if a campaign is carried |
out intelligently, Delaware farmers
will be quick to see where their in
terests are conserved by the annual
expenditure of sum of money for |
insurance. There is a lack of care |
and study of the problems which |
are on every farm. Many barns are |
burned through the use of lanterns,
made more necessary through lack
of care in planning barn work. A
little extra thought in routing the
barn chores, in placing the feeding
facilities so that they are practically
automatic even without a light.
would save millions every year and
would cost hardly penny. Barns
are left uninsured because under
ordinary conditions they are dang
erous and high-priced risks, it !
would be far better to insure, how
ever, rather than to try to carry
ones own hazard; but the danger
might be greatly reduced by definite
planning.

BY JAMES P. CANNON,
Secretary international Labor Defense.

THE fatal hour draws near for our beloved Com
rades Sacco and Vanzetti. The frame-up witnesses
and perjurers have finished their testimony. The
lawyers have finished their arguments. The august
courts have rendered their verdict After six
years of suspense and torture the CHASTITY con
spiracy is scheduled to eliminate very soon by a
cruel death in the electric chair.
Sacco and Vanzetti remain undaunted after
their long ordeal They look into the face of death
without fear. How heroic and inspiring they are
and what an example they set before the labor
movement After the supreme court rendered its
decision refusing them a new trial, Comrade Van
zetd wrote to the international Labor Defense
Il am and will remain to the death for the enamel

The two Italian rebel workers know the issues
involved in their case better than all the clever
