MILFORD, FRIDAY, JAN. 27. 1928

minds of those present last Monday
night at the Rotary Club dinner, by
Superintendent Harry Holloway, of
the Public Schools of Delaware, in
a ten-minute talk on Business and
Education" that the rural districts
have all to gain by consolidation
with the Town of Milford for a
modern high school building. The
Town of Milford is assuring them of
both well trained teachers, as we'll
as healthful conditions, for the chill
dren of the rural districts. In fact
the children will get instruction
from a class of teachers, that no
rural school could even hope to have
as regular instructors for its chill
dren. Their health and comfort while
in school, and enrOute to and from
school, will do much to build
healthy bodies, which in turn create
better men and women. It is well
to talk over this problem, to think
of the advantages to be had, and
what the Town of Milford is offering
to the rural districts, at a much
greater contribution to the new
buildings for a consolidated school
district. Think with desire to get
information and developing a sys-
TEN, that will make a more prosper
Gus people in both the rural dis
tricts and the Town of Milford.
To the business men it is a business
problem. To the farmers and prop
erty owners, it is both a business
and a financial benefit. 1t is up to
all the people to solve the problem,
for the welfare of their children
and the schools of the future years
now near at hand for most of them. |

OUR NEW ERA of industrial, |
business and mechanical perfection
has given many comforts and COM |
modities to the farmer. The radio,
electric lights and power, the tele-
phone, railroad expansion, the auto
mobile-all have done their bit. But
one of the greatest gifts of all has
come into general farm use since
the war-the tractor.
Flowing that would have taken a
week under old methods has become
the work of day. Irrigation trench
es are dug with comparative ease.
Road-making has been revolution
lied by the squat, queer track-lay-
ing machine that is unaffected by
weather, or soil conditions, or SEEM
ingly insurmountable barriers.
The best part of it is that the
tractors day is still in the dawn
ing. More and more farmers are
converting it to their uses, with
tremendous success. They have
learned that prosperity comes by
adopting modern methods.

IN DENYING SEATS to Senators
Ware and Smith the Democratic ma I
iority in the Senate has fixed a pre- S
;edent under which any majority in t
he Senate could at any time refuse P
o accept the decision of the people v
# a state in the choice of a senator, Il
ven on the ground of personal or Il
ARTISAN dislike Of the person chos- W
n, or on the ground of religious or 81
ther personal prejudice. All the Il
acts considered by the Senate were e
efore the people of these states 81
hen they went to the polls and
lected their senators by unques- =
oned majorities, and without the ~,
large that the result was procured "t
? fraud or corruption. It IS not in
uprising that the chief Democratic fe
rgan of the country, the New York
Torld, has denounced such a pre-
'dent. It might easily come to L
ague those who have made it.

THERE IS a law Of community 10

your home town, if you want to fo
It something out of it. If you just mr.
re there and earn money there, fo
ID don't give your home town any no

ction.
When people show good citizen -
ip, and contribute in any way to -
e benefit of their community, they 'H
tain a reward Of personal friend 81
ip and appreciation from their Je'
ighbors and associates, and such ad
tivities make them better capable tn
taking responsibility. The time oil
At is spent for the benefit Of the ms
if it is nothing more tut
IN beautifying your home place, ma
serving on a committee for some its

HERE is, perhaps, not yet a no
realization by farm women that a..
ure to play means that work be- -
hes drudgery, and that failure to ~s -,
means that work becomes 'ne
led and of poor quality. No one aPl
