Any business can increase its
sales, if it can manage in some way
to come into close association with
some public desire, says The Mil
ford Chronicle. "For instance, take
the business of the village cross
roads store and postoffice. Many
such store-keepers have always So
lcited appointment as postmaster,
on the theory that having the post
office in their store would help their
general business. They would fig
ure that the people in the village
will come to get their mail, and
having once entered their store for
this purpose, they would be likely
to buy their supplies in that store.
While if the postofice was located
somewhere else, they might not
come into the store at all. So such
a storekeeper draws the people in
to get the mail, and then they stay
and do business with him.
"One way to apply that principle
anywhere, and a way that has led
many business men on To great
wealth. and which can increase any
ones prosperity, is To advertise
constantly in the newspapers. IN
that way, a concerns business be-
comes closely associated with the
public desire for news. The pub
lie il eagerly desirous to know the
latest things that have happened,
and it buys and reads the newspap-
ers with keen interest. Right
among this news it finds also the
news Of the home stores, and their
announcements are read with the
same keen interest that Is given to
general and local news. People are
Influenced thereby to visit these
stores AL inspect and buy the bar
gains therein offered.
"Just az the people 90 to the
cross roads postoffice and get their
mail, and thus are led to buy in the
store where the postoffice is 20 Of
ten located, 50 they 70 To the news

are Ied to BUY Of the stores whose
advertising IS inserted with the

AGGIE STUDENTS ON FARMS
With Prof. Schuster of U. of D.,
They Visit Two Kent Farms

Following the costom of visiting
representative farms in the State
each spring to study various types
of farming as practiced in differ
ent sections, five members of the
senior class of the University of
Delaware, in company with Prof.
George L. Schuster, agronomist at
the Delaware Experiment Station,
visited the farms of B. B. Chase
and F. C. Bancroft, of Kent county,
last week. At the Chase farm, the
students had the opportunity to
study the commercial grape indus
try, in addition to orchard fruits
while at the Bancroft farm, the
large commercial orchard and Jer-
sey dairy herd provided informa-
tion, which will be of much value to
the students in their farm manage
ment studies at the university. The
seniors of the university making
the trip included George NJ. Slant,

Governor o. Douglass Buck, Of
Delaware, heads the advocates of a
new super-highway to link Phila-
delphia and Wilmington. AS Gov
ernor Buck Is an expert On highway
construction, his procedure * likely
to take the practical form Of a get
together program with the Penn
sylvania authorities to discuss the
project. The Philadelphia Pike is
becoming rapidly congested BY the
regular traffic between the two
cities. In addition there Is a great
volume Of automobile and truck
traffic between Philadelphia ard the
South, moving in either direction.
The Regional Planning Federation
may be expected to look with favor
on Governor Bucks idea of super
highway which will both eliminate
grade crossings and the dangers
incident to road Intersections. The
super-highway might pass under
the railroad tracks, and the lateral
intersecting roads be carried either
under or over the main artery Of
travel, according to local condi-
tons. The project is another illus
tration Of the highway needs, un-
dreamed of twenty years ago
which have been forced into con-
sideration by the motorized age and
the marvellous development of both
passenger and freight traffic with
in a brief period. In this instance
there is no suggestion of an invest
ment of private capital for profit
through tolls, as was proposed il

Martin p. Burlis, attorney, Of
Middletown, is being mentioned in
Republican circles over in New

tinue the tomato industry in the
three states above mentioned will
be seriously affected. Both farm

anything can be done for our farm

growing is one avenue Of improve

more serious, for present prospects
are that the farmers Will receive a
ridiculously low price for their

It is to be hoped, therefore, that

Delaware, Maryland and New
Jersey presented a united front in
asking that the duty on tomatoes
be materially increased. Senator
Edge, Of New Jersey, prominently
mentioned as the next ambassador
to France, was spokesman for the
delegation that visited President
Hoover. He declared that the prin-
cipal competing country was Italy,
and importations Of canned goods
from Italy during recent years had

A notable event in Newark the

Agricultural club of the University

that one-third of the graduates of
the University are farmers, or in
occupations closely allied to agri-
culture. This statement, comments
The Morning News, "will doubtless
surprise many, but it speaks we'll
for the University and for the agri-
cultural department. Yet agricul-
tural graduates face obstacles. One
is a lack of capital. Another is
they have no farms to return to, as
their parents usually operate small
places. This latter obstacle should
be overcome. Many owners of
