MILFORD, FRIDAY, MAR. %. 1928

IT Is PLEASANT TO receive eX-
pressiOns of kind regards and re-
spect from friends and associates,
and it is especially pleasing to
know that somewhere in the busy
affairs of life, there are those who
observe, and voice their approval
of the personal effort of an individ-
ual. This experience has been the
good fortune of the editor and own
er of the Milford Chronicle" dur
ing the past week, the occasion
therefor being his seventy-third an
niversary birthday of the editor on
March sixteenth last. The written
and spoken words from friends and
associates of former years, these
white roses" cast as token of ap-
probation from our friends, might
lead to just a bit of an attack of
egotism, for they are indeed flatter- |
ing and beyond price. 1t is sur
prising how much is crowded into |
an active life of fifty years. How
much that has been accomplished |
by united effort by the individual |
and the public, for the welfare of |
the home, the state and moral well |
fare. Life may not be completed
problem, or even a semblance of |
the ideal that had been planned for
accomplishment; but, the splendid
expressions of respect and appre-
citation from friends, both far and
near, add charm to the memories
which will accompany recurring
birthday anniversaries. Thanks!

A NEW AND PAYING industry
seems to be on the verge of bring
ing large revenues to owners of
suitable marsh lands on the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula. A news item
carried in this issue of the ChrOn-
icle seems to point to the muskrat
farm as source of big money for
those who can apply themselves to
the venture and produce the traits"
in sufficient numbers to pay Ac-
cOrding to information made public
this week, such a farm is already I
in existence in Maryland, and fancy t
prices are being realized from the
sale of the live muskrats. 1t seems e
that Maryland rats run large per- +
centage of black pelts, which are {
the most desirable for commercial h
work. There is a scarcity of musk p
rats in all parts of the world, and Il
he Maryland trappers have found p
hat it is much more remunerative n
o catch the rats alive and to sell 81
hem for breeding purposes than to a
ell the pelts from the little ami
nails which are killed in trapping.
Black rats are said to command II
'rices ranging from $40 to $25 per M
'air, while the brown rats bring Of
rices which range from SIS to $40 W
er pair The demand is said to be W
luch greater than the supply, and to
Dr. that reason those engaged in fe
ne business of supplying the world al
larket with live muskrats for cl
reeding purposes may expect to m
cap fancy prices so long as this
)ndition exists. The venture is a M
ew one, but it's possibilities GER mr.
inly would seem to be at least r..
orthy of investigation by those oit
no have suitable lands for the in H.

THE UNITED STATES Depar

THE UNITED STATES Depart
ment of Commerce reports that no
wheat has been imported for con-
sumption since July 1, this year.
That proves that the tariff of 42c
bushel protects the American
wheat growers in their home milling
markets. If it were not for the tar
iff, mills all along the border would
depress the American market with
threats to bring in Canadian wheat.
1t is true, as free traders say, that
the United States has a surplus of
wheat and must sell it abroad at
world prices. But there are years
when we have no surplus of good
milling wheat; and always there
are large regions in the United
States that are deficient in first
class milling grades, and the newt
able tendency would be, when sup
plies ran low, for the millers to
bring in Canadian grain, if it were
not for the tariff.
But one consulting the reports of
the Department of Commerce will
discover that, since July 1, $685. 900
bushels of Canadian grain were i'm
ported into the United States. It is
necessary to note the distinction in
the official reports. No wheat was
imported for consumption in this
country. The imported grain is for
in bonded mills for the ex-
port trade. The importing miller
pays the tariff of AZ cents a bushel
and is allowed, on proof of export,
to draw back SO per cent as a re-
fund. But he can't take the rebate
until he has given proof that he has
mixed with the imported Canadian
grain liberal percentage of Ameri-
wheat.
That provision was put in the law
or the benefit of American wheat
growers and with the approval of :
heir Representatives in Washington.
t was reasoned that the Canadian :
Wheat would find foreign markets
nyway, and it would be better.

young people who have grown up in
those surroundings, who are used to
rural life and who have had some
experience of agricultural methods
as basis for their labors.
A great many of these young peo-
pie are making a mistake in leaving
their rural homes. They go into cit
les and earn more pay in cash, but
their heavier expenses usually eat
up their incomes. Meanwhile if
they stay on the farms, they have q
chance to build up substantial prop

The rural young people from early
childhood should be taught the most |
approved methods of agriculture.
They should be given the chance to
own domestic animals and garden
plots of their own, where they can
get start at earning money, which
will help them see the many oppor-

1t looked like good story for the
newspapers. but there we're some points
about it that did not look Just right to
the Skeptical reporters The accounts
said. for instance. that Capone had shot
himself as he was stepping into his
motor car following a game Of golf. The
reporters did not discredit the motor car
angle. but they scratched their heads
over the golf. They could not picture
Capone, long painted as overload of the
Chicago gangs. gambling about
meadow with niblick, pursuing a golf
ball.
The reports persisted, golf and all.
Capone, it was insisted, lay in Ham
nlond hospital with bullet wound in
the leg, and dozen henchmen patrolled
the hospital corridors to thwart any
enemies who might attempt to finish
deliberately what had started merely as
an accident
It was not until reporter found
Capone In a suite at a Chicago hotel
that the story collapsed. The news
paperman found Capone just finishing
hearty meal. eaten to music that poured
from radio loud speaker. Capone even
consented to go through a few simple
dance steps to convince the reporter
that he had not been shot.
Police helped to clear away all doubt
BY explaining that the man in the Ham
mond hospital was one John Martin.

had nothing to do with it. police said,

Victim Describes Storm.
The storm came and was gone so
quickly" Mrs. Clabaugh said, that those
of us who were not hurt we're hardly
able to realize what had happened.
The whole thing could not have lasted
more than five minutes.
THE wind was the most terrific I
ever have experienced, crumpling build
ings and carrying away huge trees as
though they were toothpicks.'
Mrs. Clabaugh said the FranklinS

week of rest to escape the heat OF the
city,
First warning of the storm came in
the shape of a huge swell from the
river, which swept up over the shore

by a Washington man named Middle
ton. Mr.. Middleton herded his family
into the basement just as a second
large wave broke over the house. The
downstairs rooms of the cottage We're
flooded with water, but none of the
Middleton family was injured.
The receding water was followed im-
mediately by terrific wind which
came from the opposite direction, ac-
cording TO j. t. Simpson, Tompkins-

Missing the Middleton cottage by a
few yards, the wind struck Squarely ON
the house occupied by the Franklins.
The small house was picked up by
the storm and carried far out over the
river where fragments of timbers were
seen scattered over wide area after
the wind had subsidized.
Woman Rescued.
Mr., Franklin's body was found In a
patch of seaweed about 25 feet from the
site of the cottage A physician called
