SUSSEX WILL SUPPORT the tic
ket as nominated by Kent, New Cas-
tie and Wilmington at the Republi-
can convention at Dover on Tues
day. While disappointed with the
treatment accorded them and the
roughshod manner in which the Will
mington gang engineered the steam
roller tactics at Dover, Sussex Re
publicans are Republicans. For that
reason they will support the ticket
which will appear under the Repub-
lican emblem at the November cleo
tions. The county primaries and the
"get together" spirit in which both
factions in Sussex worked, has done
much to create a feeling of COOPER
alton in the lower county. This
feeling will make itself felt at the
county primaries when a county
ticket will be named. Notwithstand-
ing the disappointment engendered
at Dover, Sussex Hill be found SUD-
porting the entire ticket in Noyem-
Der. Watch closely the results in
the City Of Wilmington; especially
so on the Office for United States
Senator, for it is more than likely |
that the same gang who forced the
nomination of John G. Townsend.
will trade him for support for Mr..
Buck at that time. Sussex lost her
candidate because of such a claim
against him-will Wilmington allow
these tactics?

THE MILFORD CHRONICLE be-
lieves in Milford and Milford's fu-
ture. It believes that Milford is des-
tined to be much greater than it is
today. It believes that the great
majority of people living in Milford
have an abiding faith in the future
and in the Milford of today. It is
this faith that has made Milford and
it is this same faith that is going to
continue to make Milford a greater
town.
No one need talk of putting Mil
ford on the map" For, all the world
knows Milford is already on the
map; it has had conspicuous place
there for many years. And it is
going to remain there-forever.
Milford is already a great place
in which to live. If one were to look
all around the world, none better
could be found. When everything is
considered, no one honestly can say
that any other town is a better place
than Milford.
For that reason, if you have any
money to invest, invest it in Mil
ford. 1t is safer at home than it is
any place else. Keep out of the
clutches of the oily-tongued stock |
who comes from a dis
tance and wants your money to in
vest in an enterprise, the merit of |
which you know nothing save what
is told you by the man or men seek
ing to separate you from your
coin."
If you have any money to invest,
think it overland then invest in
Milford. Every resident of Milford
ought to be a booster for Milford
Ind Milford enterprises. Owning
Milford real estate will go a long
way toward making all citizens a
rooster for the home town. Build
n buy a homeland grow with Mil
ord, and enjoy to the full all the ;
BENEFITS of being a Milford home !

is one that all republican voters can
get behind and support without
question. c. Douglas Buck is a man
of more than ordinary ability, both
as an executive and an engineer.
Under his direction the State High
way Department has flourished and
Delaware has been given highway
system second to none in the United
States. He will fill the office of
Governor with equal ability. John
G. Townsend, candidate for United
States Senator, needs no introduc-

war governor he piloted the ship of
state ably and well. Largely through
his efforts the public schools of the
state have advanced by rapid strides.
It was he who forced the issue and
got through modern educational
laws at the closing hours of legis-

ELEVATORS LEASED
FOR PRIVATE SHIPPERS

Urged by large number Of farm
ers in this territory, Viggo Peterson,
former manager of the Farmers Ele-
vator at Plentywood and Blaine Dean,
former manager of the Farmers Ele-
vator at Mildly, have leased these
two elevators, and will operate them
as loading elevators for farmers de-
string to ship their grain direct to
the terminal markets.
Loading has been hampered in the
past by the insufficient local facil-
tiles for individual shippers, and this
move on the part Of Messrs. Peter
son and Dean will greatly facilitate
with this work.
By shipping direct, farmers real.
ze a premium on their grain, as the
protein content in this section is
high enough to command higher
price for milling purposes.

SUPERINTENDENT VISITS
co. SUMMER SCHOOLS

Miss Ethel Singleton, county sup
erintendent of schools, accompanied
by Miss Hall, visited the two summe7
schools in the northeastern part Of
the county on Thursday of last week.
Mr.. Randolph and his pupils, of the
Pleasant Valley school, are finding
good hard work pleasure in their
new school house. The patrons are
to be congratulated on having this
modern building in their community.
Miss Vera Peters, of Minot, began
work in the upper grades of the Ue-
land school last week, succeeding
Mrs. Miller, who has been substitut-
ing for short time.
The Ueland school has such larga
increase in attendance this year that
two teachers are necessary. The
school house is being remodeled so
as to provide two good rooms. A
very attractive teacherage with ce-
ment basement has just been com
pleted. The pupils are enthusiastic
in their work under the able guild
ance of Misses jenkins and Petes,
and an interested and helpful com
munity such as they have there
means a maximum of progress in the
school.
Ladies of Plentywood who desire
student help during the winter will
help US in placing students who wish
to earn an education if they will
leave their names and information a
bout the work they wish done with
the county superintendent.

GREER HAS NARROW
ESCAPE In SMASHUP

Atty. T. w. Greer had a narrow
escape from being killed last Thurs
day night, when his car left the road
about two miles north of Medicine
Lake, and turned a complete somer-
sault, landing on its wheels in the
ditch.
Mr.. Greer was coming from Cul-
bertson when the accident occurred
and was driving along at about 81
miles an hour, he said. Relating the
accident Mr.. Greer stated that he felt
drowsy, and must have fallen asleep
for an instant, and the next thing he
knew was in the ditch. How he es.
capped with but minor cut and q
shaking up, seems nothing short OF
miracle. The car was completely
wrecked, only the parts being sal
vaged for repairs.

Noted Geologist
Visits N. E. Mont.
(Glasgow Times)

Ralph Arnold eminent geologist
and developer Of many of the worlds
largest oil fields, was in Glasgow
Tuesday of last week and, in com
.pany with Albert Nelson of the
Glasgow Exploration Company, made
a survey of that company's Lime
Butte holdings 1S miles west Of
Glasgow, and also of the Lone Tree
structure "a miles south of town, in
which Mr.. Nelson and several other
local men are interested.
The following day, Messrs. Arnold
and Nelson went to Whitehall, north
east of Scobey, where survey Of
that structure was made.
All three areas have a pronounced
structure, according to Mr.. Arnold,
and so confident is he that they are
potential oil producers, that he has
agreed to undertake their develop
ment on royalty basis.
The Whitehall structure which is
now being test drilled by capital in
that locality, will be the first to re-
ceive assistance from the large Ar
mold interests. Mr.. Arnold has wired
an assistant at Los Angeles to come
Immediately, prepared to make
plane-table survey, in which he is to
be assisted at Mr.. Arnold's special
request, by Mr.. Nelson of Glasgow,
whose early investigation of the
Whitehall area has given him first
hand knowledge of the structure.
Mr.. Arnold reposes much confidence
i'll Mr.. Nelson's ability as geologist,
Owing to the complicated struc-
of the Lime Butte formation, Mr.,
Arnold also has ordered a plane-ta-
BILE survey of that area. 1t is not
known definitely when development
of this structure will be resumed,
but when it is resumed it will be un-
der Mr.. Arnold's direction and finan-
ced by him and his associates. The
same is true of the Lone Tree struc-
ture.
Local oil enthusiasts are much en-
couraged by the interest shown in
their holdings by Mr. Arnold, who is
probably the worlds most compe-
tent geologist. He is a personal
friend of Herbert Hoover, presiden-
tial candidate, and it was upon his
recommendation to the British gov
ernment, just following the war,
that Mr.. Arnold was engaged by that
nation to locate and survey oil areas
in the far-flung colonies of the em-
pire, a work which engaged him and
40 assistants for the better part of
two years.
1t would seem that prospects of de-
termining what oil-bearing strata is
adjacent TO Glasgow are better now
than they ever have been

Sheridan County
Farm -LabOriteS
Endorse Ticket
Rodney Salisbury Endorsed for Shef-
iff In Spite of His Unpopularity
Among Sheridan Farmers.

At a county convention of the
.Farmer-Labor party held in Plenty
wood last Saturday, it was decided to
place complete county ticket in the
field for the November election, and
candidates were named for the var
ious offices. One of the surprises of
the convention was the endorsement
of Rodney Salisbury to succeed him
self as sheriff 1t had been generally
believed that Salisbury had made
himself so unpopular in the county
that it would be possible to select a
stronger candidate, and Viggo Peter
son was known to have been making
a strong bid for the endorsement
AS a result of Mr.. Peterson's objec-
tion to Salisbury, however, he was re-
ported to have been read out of the
party.
Another surprise came when Ole
Aspelund, the present assessor, and
elected by the Farmer Labor party,
was left out in the cold and George
Bell, Dagmar farmer, given the en-
dorsement. This has already created
no little amount of dissatisfaction on
the part of many members of the So
called farmers party, who are loyal
friends of Mr.. Aspelund, and would
liked to have seen him named as the
party. candidate.
Candidates named for other off
ices were: A. N. Wankel, county
commissioner; Niels Madsen for
clerk and recorder; A. c. Erickson for
county attorney; Hans Rasmussen,
surveyor, all of whom are present in
cuments. Charles Lundeen, former
county commissioner from Outlooli
was endorsed for treasurer; Mrs. Ida
Newton was named for superinten-
dent Of schools to oppose Ethel f.
Singleton, and Walter Bye of Doc
ley was selected as a candidate foT
clerk of court to succeed Dan Olson
whose health is such that it would
be impossible for him to continue il
office.
With strong list of candidates al
ready regularly nominated for coun-
ty offices, either as Republicans o.
Democrats, and with dissatisfaction
existing over some of the selection
of the Farmer-Laborites within tn
ranks Of their own organization, tn
campaign this fall promises to be :
most intensively contested battle.

Air Mail Route
To Cross State

Establishing of new transcon-
tinental air mail service stretching
through the northern route connect
ing Seattle and Boston is being con
sidered by the United States postal
department.
Such a route would mean the ex
tension westward of the Chicago-St
Paul air mail line operated by tn
Northwest Always, Inc, now al
filiated with the Transcontinents
Air Transport, Inc, through North
Dakota, Montana and on across tn
Rockies to Seattle, it was explained
by officials in st. Paul, Mimi, Wed
nesday.
While one transcontinental ali
mail line has been established by the
government extending from New
York to San Francisco through wha
is known as the southern route it
was learned Wednesday from auth
oritative sources that the postoffice
department at Washington orally has
announced that it is considering this
new line.
Such a route would touch Fargo,
N. D., and strike the more important
cities in Montana, including Miles
City, Billings, Great Falls, Helena
Livingston, Bozeman, Butte and Mis-
soula, it has been indicated. The
government has made it clear, how
ever, that complete details of such a
new line will have to be worked out
before it will attempt to inaugurato
such a service.
Belief that the government serious
ly is considering this new route was
given further credence because of the
fact that w. Irving Glover, assistant
postmaster general in charge of the
air mail service, now is in the west
ern section Of the United States MAX
ing tour of inspection of the exist
ing air mail lines.
Upon his return, Mr.. Glover, it was
explained, is expected to make. a re-
port to Postmaster General Harry S.
New, who has manifested a desire to
broaden the activities of the air mail
service. Establishment of the new
transcontinental air line would mean
a new route only from st. Paul to
the Pacific coast. The government
already has a lighted and marked
route from st. Paul through Chicago
to New York.
The joint air-rail passenger service
from st. Paul to Chicago will start
next week.
