OPEN BUSINESS CAMPAIGN IN
MILFORD

If a business has merit, or will
benefit any person or set of persons,
it has got to be sold by straightfor-
ward statements from its managers
or directors, to the public and those
directly interested, or who may in
the future become interested in that
form of business. 1t has in other
words got to be sold, exactly as any
other article of trade is disposed of
to those who buy, through and by
plainly told statements of exactly
what the advantages will be. OF this
fact no business is more vitality in
terested, than is that of the Build
ing and Loan Associations, especial
ly here in Delaware, where the sys-
tenn has grown old and familiar to
the people in a general way. To do
this and impress future prospects as
to membership in Building Loans,
requires familiarity with the system
of handling that money, coupled with
the ability of the one intrusted with
writing the facts into Interesting
statements, which will get favorable
consideration and finally, member
ship for the loan associations. There
is only one best way to accomplish
this object for the loan associations,
and that way is urged by A. A. An
derson, Secretary of the National
Building Loan Association, who in an
address before its session recently
held, urged and recommends news
paper advertising as the most effec-
tive and economical means of reach
ing the public. He further urged
upon the members that the building
loan associations throughout the
United States shall have a fund for
such campaign, which shall be an
annual part of the expense budget,
which will bring great cash results
to each association using it intelli-
gently. Right here in Milford the
building loans have at their hands
ready for use, a man who knows how
to do this work and conduct a CAM
paign. He is employed by the Oldest
association in Milford, and is a live
wire as to publicity and how to get
it. In addition, the facts are at hand
for use in the campaign of educa-
ton of the people, Of all OF Sussex
and the greater part of Kent coun-
ties. There are progressive men
members and directors of the build
ing loan associations of Milford as
well as others in the various towns
of the two counties, who can evolve
great profit for the associations, but
especially for the men and women,
who are now paying monthly 'entals
for homes and places of business.
Why not put business campaign on
for 1928?
AS Mr.. Anderson knows, it has
been fully demonstrated that the
newspaper stands by itself as car
rier of messages to the greatest pos
sible number of people. 1t is the
only medium that is sure to reach
the citizens of a community and be
read. This fact is being more fully
appreciated every day.
The country weeklies are the great |
medium for reaching the masses Of
the people who represent the major
ity of the reading and buying power
Of this nation. The Milford Ch.on-
icle will help in this campaign.

We do not want to shut out fore

to give it an advantage over the

WHAT MORE COULD THEY ASK

Loading up several ships with NAL
contents and radical extremists, til,
President of Chile sent them to al
island in the Pacific with his goot
wishes and his hopes that they might
work out a civilization to their OWL
liking.
Out there they can throw bombs
they can engage in any violence OF
do any of the stunts which they were
carrying on in Chile.
If they object to established insti-
tutions in their own island bailiwick,
it will be their right to bomb them.
Whatever is wrong in the conduct of
affairs, they can demolish with
torch and blasting powder.
Being of like minds, they can ap-
ply their philosophy Of violence
without challenge from those who
believe in governments, laws and es-
tablished authority. It is their is
land, and there will be no capitalis-
tic hand to wrong them or oppose
them or humiliate them.
If they believe in the torch and the
Internal machine and violence, why
should they not on their own island
domain pursue liberty as they see it,
and shoot up the town or blow I'D
the banks or burn up all the temples
of authority? If with them the bomb
is preferable as an instrument of
freedom to the ballot box, it will he
theirs, if they so will, to bomb the
ballot boxes. If written constitu-
ton is the concoction of capitalism,
they can spurn it or blow it into
fragments and perdition with injury
to no emissary Of the capltalistic
class.
Out there in the Pacific, where the
ocean surf sings the song of liberty
on their own island, they can carry
out their inalienable rights and ev-
cry man be vouchsafed life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, as he
sees them.-Portland, Oregon, Daily
Journal.

DELAWARE is facing with a
large part of the other states, a SER
iOus problem as to emergency labor
for its canneries and agricultural
needs to produce or save the crops
grown. 1t is condition which is
only periodical, but when the service
is required, then the situation is a
serious financial problem for the
factory operator as well as for the
farmers and fruit growers of this
peninsula. Congress has put up the
bars of legislation against admit
ting immigration above limit from
other countries, and to get relief
from this embargo, it will be neces-
sary for the Congress of the United
States to amend the laws as they now
exist, so as to permit labor from
nearby countries to come into the
United States to help the agricul-
turists. Heretofore the labor or
ganization have conrolled the situa-
tion, but there appears to be an a.
wakening among the people Of this
country, that it is for the best in
terest of all the people, that relief
be afforded. Undoubtedly there will
be a bitter fight to raise the quota
of laboers who come into the United
States for special emergences in
agriculture. 1t seems to be a fact
that Mexican labor is essential to
farmers, sugar beet growers and
the railroads of the southwestern
United states to supply demand for
seasonal help which cannot be filled
by our own citizens. The National
Wool Growers Association says
that limitation of Mexican entry
would "create stagnation and be of
incalculable injury to industries of
the West" Lumber and mining also
use large numbers of Mexican and
Canadian laborers.
Any drastic restriction of immi-
grafton from Canada and enactment
of legislation practically prohibiting
from Mexico, Central
and South Amerca. would be a
physical impossibility unless we
should employ a veritable army of |
officials to patrol our
borders.

WHY NOT EQUITY AND
FAIR DEALINGY

Both political parties seem to be
trying to stir up the tariff question.
If politics could be eliminated
from the tariff it would become a
simple business proposition.
The tariff serves two primary
purposes:
First, it prevents cheap labor
foreign products, both farm and
manufactured, from being dumped
on the American market at the ex-
pense of the home producer.
Second, it forces the foreigner
who has the privilege of selling in
the best market in the world, to pay

Arithmetic and only two in First
Year Algebra. Each recitation group
consists of from 20 to 25 or more
pupils. The pupils are grouped in
this manner for their advantage in
securing more attention from their
teacher than they would secure in
larger groups. Other reasons are the
smallness of the classrooms, and the
conflicting recitation times of the
various studies under an elective or
free-choice system such as. we have
in our high schools.
In order to offer this new depart
ment the Board was compelled to
find additional rooms. These were
found in the upper story of the build
ing adjoining the school. It was al
ready owned by the District. Alter
ations completed during vacation
provided four rooms for high school
use, and increased the present and
the market value of the building.
The Board makes two requests of
the patrons of the new department,
viz: Their assistance by sustaining
the instructor in her efforts to Sc
cure high type of industry from the
boys and girls under her charge, if
they have to work harder than they
had at first expected; and, visit not
only the school as a whole (if a
system so scattered can be referred
to as "whole"), but the new Com
mercial Department in particular.
The Board of Education is glad to
be able to announce that the school
is serving the public at large by ad-
mitting, under certain regulations,
students for special instruction in
Commercial Subjects, and student
nurses from the Milford Emergency
Hospital for instruction in Chemis-
try.

YOU OWE MORE THAN TAXES
TO YOUR COMMUNITY

In a recent address on "Civit
Leadership, Development and Re
sponsibility". Samuel insult, Presi
dent of the Commonwealth Edison
Company, of Chicago, said:
'I hold that every man owes
something besides his taxes to the
community in which he lives. The
more he has favored mentally and
materially by fortune, the more he
owes. In discharge of that debt, he
is under obligation to do for the
community something that he does
not get paid for, something that he
does not make money by. His obli-
cation to do this is not just a once
in-awhile obligation; it is acontinu-
ing obligation, and what he does in
discharge of it should be limited
only by his abilities and his oppor-
tunities.
"a true sense of civic RESPONSE
bility springs from recognition of
this obligation. Individual response
to it produces the civic leaderhip
that assures continuous, well bal
anced, symmetrical community de-
velopment-the development that
provides for social and spiritual
needs, so to speak, as well as for
the physical and material needs of a
community.
'It is to the men of constructive
vision that we owe the Welding of
this continent into one homogeneous
whole-the greatest amongst the
modern creations of empire. 1t is to
this constructive class that we owe
the development of our great COM
munities and our great businesses,
and from them you should draw
your inspiration for taking your
share of civic responsibility and
community service"

Police doubled their efforts

who was murdered here and
then robbed of about $4,000
in bonds, jewelry, and cash.
Woman Is Described
According to the police the
woman sought is described as
well-dressed. and of apparent re-
finement, and said to have ac-
companied Miss Clarke to this
city on Friday night, the night
before the woman's frozen body
was found on the beach here.
Bruises Found On Body
Definite clues that Miss Clarke
was murdered came late last night
from Coroner william H. Thomp.

discovered for the first time that
the wealthy woman's arms and
back were horribly bruised, indi.

The coroner pointed out that It
was possible that man may have
aided in the murder, as Miss Clarke
wore heavy clothing and the
bruises could not have been made
in an ordinary struggle between
two women.
The police believe that Miss
Clarke was lured here on the pre-

RECORD
Barred

Why Blaine Mallan, Presi-
Dental appointee for peoples
counsel Of the Public Utilities
Commission, has never been
brought to trial On ! charge
Of driving while Intoxicated,
for which he was arrested in
1923, is. a question that sud-
denly has been brought before
the Police Court and corpora
tion counsel's office.
Out Three Years On Bond
For three years now, it was
learned today, Mr.. Mallan has
been allowed to go at large under
a bond supplied by his brother,
7. F. Mallan, although the bond
was once forfeited because Mallan
failed to appear in court. The
forfeiture was later set aside. ac-
cording to court records, when
Mallan was brought into court on
bench warrant, pleaded not
guilty, and demanded a trial by
jury.
Charged With Speeding
Court officials say that members
of the Corporation Counsels office
erred in never placing the case on
the docket for trial. They point out
that the information charging NAL
Ian lay in the police court branch
of the Corporation Counsels office
from January 4. 1924. until yester-
day, without ever having been
brought to the attention of the
court
Records at the traffic bureau alsc
show that the attorney was ar
rested three times, twice within
one year, for speeding and in each
case forfeited the collateral posted
to insure his appearance in court.
He also has been arrested twice for
overtime parking. the records show.
His first arrest for speeding &C.
cufred Januars %, 1923. and he
forfeited SO. The second occurred
December q of the same year, re.
sulting in a SIS forfeiture and the
third May 4, 1924, for which an ad.
ditional SIS waS forfeited.
The records show that Mallan was
arrested on October s. 1928, on a
charge of driving while intoxicated

liceman s. ]. Holiday. of the Sew
! enth Precinct
Ordered Bond Forfeited
On January 2, 1924, his case was
called in court and he failed to
appear, whereupon the court ordered
the bond forfeited and a bench war
rant was issued.
On January 4, 1924. he was
brought into court, the bond for
fixture rescinded and he was re-
| leased under the same bond for
trial. That bond still stands, it is
| claimed.
Despite all of this, the last record
shown yesterday on the docket al

been made Of the setting aside oil
