PLANS LICENSE LAW.
Arkansas Real Estate Group Draft

A projected real estate license law
for Arkansas, following the lines Of
the legislation already adopted for pub
lie protection in % States and one Can
adam province is now being drafted by
the Arkansas Real Estate Association
Holding that the State should not
grant certificates of registration as real
estate brokers to any person who does
not have knowledge of the rudimentary
principles of conveyancing, of the ma
ture of deeds, mortgages and contracts
and of the duties of a broker to his
clients and customers. the Illinois Asso-

amendment of the States real estate
license law to provide for the examina-
ton of applicants for registration on
their knowledge of these principles.

Hint on Concrete Work.

It is we'll known that new cement
will not adhere permanently to old con-
crete; it will not effect perfect cohesion
after concrete has set" Ordinarily the
only way to secure perfect monolithic
construction is to continue the work
without stopping until it is finished.

To the Editor of the
Milford Chronicle.
Sir:-I wish to make a statement
regarding the fatal burning of a lit
tie girl in Milton on January 18th.
"a Miss Stout. see by your paper
of the goth lin news from Milton) 4,
that the flames were put out by two
junk dealers. Now this statement
wasn't correct as they were not
junk dealers at all. And as there
has been quite a lot of misunder-
standing as to just who put the
flames out 1 write the following:
Levi Harmon was severely burned
in the palms Of his hands while tear
ing the clothes from Miss Stout. His
father, Robert M. Harmon, is well
known farmer Of near Milton.
Maurice Nocho, a farmer near Ell
lendale, succeeded in smothering the
on the little girl by wrapping
a canvas cover around her.
Unfortunately they only succeeded
in saving the little girls life for
few hours only. However those few
hours enabled her father and mother
to see her alive again, which prob
ably would have been impossible had
Mr.. Harmon and Mr.. Nocho arrived |
/ few seconds later.

Look At Improvements OF Highways
From Local Points OF View.

The following letter is printed as
just another angle of consideration
of the public service work carried
on by the State. 1t gives a very
contracted picture of a problem,
which is not understood by many
persons, who apparently think of the
local conditions only, and are not in
formed as to the scope of the pro-
gram for general service. The
facts are, that the traffic now on the
eastern branch of the du Pont High
way has failed to carry the travel in
safety, and that at the present time
it is a glaring fact that the widen
ing of the highway through Sussex
can not be accomplished before the
danger has grown to alarming pro-
portions The letter from Mr.. Rich
ard Wooter of Greenwood, follows:
Editor:-
Greenwood, Del, Jan. Z, 1927
read with interest the article in
the Chronicle, in which Engineer
Buck suggests widening the du Pont
Highway through Sussex County
this year. Don't you think the peo-
pie of Sussex would be better pleas
ed if some of the other roads were
built which have been petitioned
for?. Our children have to be haul
ed over dirt roads, while Mail car
riers have to drive on many miles of
such roads.
Farmers have produce to haul to
market over dirt roads, and so it
looks to me, that we had better have
done to these roads first
for our home people will have the
axes to pay which will retire the
ponds, and the travelling public
should be in the second line.
For one, I think that the du Pont
Highway can take care of the travel
or some years to come, and if you
will print this letter, it may cause
iome of the people to think about
his problem.
If the Chronicle will work for this
,biect, II believe it will earn the
hanks of many people in Sussex
ounty.
With best regards for you I am
very truly,

CONSTRUCTIVE.

That community is indeed poor
about which no good can be said,
but poorer still is the citizen so
blinded by petty prejudices and
self-interest that his criticisms of
the hometown are many and never
interspersed with appreciation
Just as every human being has
faults, every community, which is
but a collection of human beings,
has defects. But, considering the
number of human failings, is it not
surprising that the average city and
town has so few shortcomings and
can please so many?
There would be less knocking if
the knockers realized that a COM
munity is just what its citizens
make it and that it is a confession
of personal weakness to diagnose
the hometown as incurably sick
and decrepit. By their fault-finding
they admit they have failed to do
their part in making their town fit
their ideal of what a community
should be.
That citizen best serves his COM
munity who is unstinting with his
praise where praise is due and who
is fearless in his condemnation of
hose things to be condemned. Con-
structive effort can be the fruit of
destructive criticism.

CHARLES E. REED RETURNS
FROM FLORIDA TOUR

For the purpose of radical
change of both atmosphere and en-
vironment, Charles e. Reed, of
Slaughter Neck, Sussex county,
made a 3-weeks' visit to Florida,
which took him as far south as Mi
ami. He is probably one of the
largest growers of lima beans in
Sussex, and has been successful in
every branch of farming he has
conducted in the past twenty years.
His lands are located directly at
Slaughter Beach, and extend for two
miles back from the Delaware Bay.
At the present time the land which
will be planted with peas for can
merry, has been plowed and made
ready for preparation for planting
as soon as the weather will permit.
Mr. Reed was slightly indisposed
as to his health, when he left Mil
ford just after Christmas; but last
Saturday he certainly had just cause
to be pleased with his stay in Flor
ida, as he was brown, rugged and
healthy appearing. When asked as
to his impressions of Florida as a
place for opportunities in business,
he stated, that he is firmly of the
opinion, that he can not see any
reason for any person, who will
work with his brains as well as with
his hands, to leave the State of
Delaware, or this Delmarvia PENN
sula, to engage in business in Flor
ida. The opportunities are here
awaiting those who will take them. |
He is satisfied that Delaware will
do as much, and more for those who
will try to know how, and then per-
form the duties with business intel
igence. His trip to the sub-tropics
lid him good, and aroused his eff
orts for the future success Of farm
ng in his home state Of Delaware. II

The radio tangle over the lights
Of broadcasting stations to the air is
consuming considerable time in the
Congressional Committees. There is
the usual struggle in this new field
between the so-called combine of
larger interests which are affiliated
through mutual patents, ETC., and
the independents among the radio
outfits. The control of the air is
largely becoming an accute prob
lem for the legislators.
The Shipping Board continues to
be a whirlpool of controversy, with
one group advocating governmental
aid and the other asking the Federal
activities to withdraw. The question
of local patronage is involved be-
cause many shipyards are hopeful
that the government will assist
them in building a merchant marine
and keep the shipyards along the
coast.
The leaders of industry and

affect stocks in public utilities. This
is practically the first time that cleo
trio power and other organizations
in the utility field have been sub
iected to a real serious scrutiny by
the national legislative body and
concern is manifested.
These enterprises have developed
within relatively few
years and they have never been sea-
joned along with other lines of bus
ness by the fire Of Congressional in
activities. They do not

Washington, January 25-The var
ious farm groups are still at odds
over the methods Of legislative relief
for agriculture. The equalization
proposition which was responsible
for the Presidential veto last year
has arisen again to block the propo-
nents Of farm relief. The slipping in
ranks of these advocates has not aid
ed the chances of the bill passing at
an early date. The Senate is not
giving as much attention to the sub
ject this year because of the rebuke
administered by House leaders after
the Senate passed the McMaster res
olution calling for tariff revision pri-
marily designed to assist agricul-
ture, The House will want to origi-
nate farm relief as well as demand
its right to sponsor tariff revision.

FIGHT no RETAIN IT.


With the air filled with political
proposals for the government going
into various lines of business or in
dustry, it is of the utmost import
ance that in considering presiden-
tial candidates the people choose a
man who has not been bitten with
the bug of socialism, if they wish
this nation to retain it's title as the
land of opportunity.
Presidential candidates should be
men of broad vision who have a
knowledge of world affairs and who
can appreciate the advantages the
people of this country derive from
private initiative and enterprise, as
contrasted with paternalism in Eu-
rOpean nations which are ridden to
death with government ownership
and bureaucratic control.
If we did not enjoy such freedom
of individual opportunity as we now
do, we would fight to secure it. By
the same token, why not fight to
retain it?
1t is interesting to note that all
proposals for the government TAX
ing over the private business of
some individual or group of individ-
uals, are made by men who are not
generally engaged in any construct
i've line of endeavor. They cannot
point to success for plans, which
they ask the people to accept. Then
why consider their experimental
ventures at the expense of the tax
payer and freedom of the individ-
ual?
Truly presidential candidates
should be men who will stand as a
rock against disintegrating infuen-
ces which threaten to undermine
constitutional rights and privileges.
Se@
BEFORE Governor Ritchie or any
other candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination will be TAX
en- very seriously in the cry against
federal Capitalization, and in favor
of state and local rights, they will
have to make themselves clear on
this proposition. Surely local and .
state autonomy should not be con-
fined merely to the right to violate
federal liquor laws. There are other
liberties surely as important, and
one of these certainly is the right of
a state to choose its own senator's,
the advice and consent of
The federal Senate.

FARMING today is a business
