MUSCLE STILL NEEDED

The idea has become prevalent
among young men, that they do not
have to use their muscles any longer
in earning a living. They expect to
earn their bread by the smartness
of their brain power. That is all
right, provided they have the grey
matter which can be trained to the
requisite degree of efficiency. But
the world still needs a lot of mus
Gle.
Take, for instance, the report that
there is an acute demand for work
ers on numbering operations in the
great woodlands in the state of
Maine. The lumbermen of that sec
tiOn, it is said, are unable to obtain
full crews, at time when people in
the cities still complain of unem-
ployment. Probably in many regions
where numbering is carried on, there
would be equal difficulty in obtain
ing workers.
Machinery has saved a lot of til
some hand labor But the farmers
call for men who are not afraid of
muscular work. A small army of
men have to be employed as NOV
ers, to move household goods for the
great number of families who are
changing their residence. Express
men and baggage handlers still have
to handle their heavy loads. There
are plenty of tasks that call for
Since muscular work is unpOpu-
lar, it will probably be fairly we'll
paid. A man who is strong and pow
erful can look for regular work.
The boys show very powerful mus
Gle as they throw the hammer at the
track meets. They can't claim they
are not capable of performing these
tasks.
The man who uses his muscle is
not necessarily debarred from pro-
motion. He learns how all these
manual tasks should be done. If he
has any power of leadership or or
he should be able to get |
4 job as a boss or owner of business. !
lot of young fellows could do
worse than go on some good job that
,alls for muscle.

BASEBALL GAMES

Milford's baseball fans were treat
ed to two good games here on the
Fourth, Milford winning both games
from the fredericksburg, Maryland,
team. Frank Sapp pitched the morn
ing game for the local club and was
unhitable in the pinches. Croll
pitched a good game for Federals-
burg, holding Milford to four hits
in the first seven innings. Milford
won by the score of to 2.
In the afternoon game Milford
made short work of the visitors, Win
ming SO in one of the fastest games
ever played here. The game was fin
ished in one hour and fifteen min
utes. Only one fredericksburg man
got as far as third base.
After winning two games on the
Fourth Milford travelled to FELTON,
to lose a hard-fought game by the
score of Az.
Milford hopes to schedule more
games with the. fast FELTON, team in
order to redeem it's defeats. After
losing this game, Hummel expressed
his desire to pitch another game for
Milford and has been engaged to
pitch against Dover here on Satur-
day.

rHE sP1R1T OE AnYENTrRE

Some of the friends of Admiral
Byrd might feel a little more COM
Portable, if he would give up his ad-
ventures in the most remote and
dangerous sections of the earth, and
settle down to ordinary humdrum
life. But already this famous ex-
plorer is reported to be preparing
some new adventure to the dark cor
ners of the earth. Nothing common
place or ordinary will suit the man
who has visited both North and
South poles, and has flown across the
stormy Atlantic. He will not be
planted down in any office chair.
1t is a fine thing that in this day
when romance is supposed to be
dead, we still have lot of people
who are willing to take some
chances. Their friends may find it
difficult to repress their anxiety, but
these people confer untold benefits
on the human race.
The spirit of adventure is not linn
tied to a few of these heroes of ex-
ploration. 1t has always been mani
tested among lot of folks, in a mild
way of course, yet they persist in
doing things that seem uncertain
and hazardous.
Some manifestations of it are not
helpful. The boys who start out to
fight Indians or hunt bears, and who
run away from home hoping to pene-
trate to such a scene of delightful
do not accomplish much
for themselves. They need a differ
kind of adventure, and life will
give them plenty of chance for it, if
they stick to their work now.
The form of adventure spirit most
common now in some Delaware
towns is seen in the young men who
think they could do a great deal bet
ter if they went off to some remote
place in hopes of making money. Or
they come home as poor as
they went away. A genuine outlet
FOR the spirit of adventure can be
found not far from home by anyone
who seeks it. 1t is found in the spir-
t that gives up the immediate
chance to make money, and goes in
or new discovery and achievement |
n the fields of science and business |
md human service.

FACTS ABOUT ALFALFA

Every year sees alfalfa gaining in
/ use on Sussex county farms. The
heavy tonnage of hay produced each
season, the long life of the plants
and the value they put into the soil
are three of the factors responsible
for this increase of alfalfa in our
county, states County Agent c. R.
Snyder.
Some of the facts about alfalfa are
that once established it lasts for
years when given little care and
attention. Here our farmers usually
get three cuttings per year. Alfalfa
is high in feeding value, containing
as much protein as wheat bran and
when fed with grain, it supplies the
protein necessary for a balanced ra-
tion. This crop does not exhaust the
soil; it enriches it because of it's
power to collect nitrogen from the
air. Alfalfa is one crop which can
not be. over produced as many of
our other crops. Again, it supplies
its own nitrogen and stores it in the
land to make better crops that fol-
low, in fact it is one of the farms
most valuable crops because it pays
constant dividends.
Alfalfa demands a we'll prepared,
fertile, we'll drained soil, a liberal
application of lime, inoculation and
seed that is adapted to our county.
Next week 1 will tell you more about
the culture of this Grip, or if you
write your county agent, he will give
you detailed information about grow
ing alfalfa in Sussex.

Milford, Friday, July II, 1880
POLITICAL ACTIVITY

The average voter is not conscious
OF any great political activity at this
time. But the politicians are work
ing every week in the year. The
average voter wakes up a week or
two before election, if he arouses
from his apathy at all, and then he
wonders why it is that people of his
tyne do not have greater influence.
Instances can be cited where GER
tain leading men have had a very
large popular following, but where
they could not win any elections or
primaries, because the sentiment in
their favor had not been organized.
The voters may attack the sO-called
bosses and machines all they want
to, but unless some such power is
doing the work of organization, the
parties or the ideas in which people
are interested will never get any
where.
Summer heat may be at its apex,
but with the November election in
view, the politicians are busy circu-
lating around among their lieuten-
ants. They gather at agricultural
fairs and picnics, grasping the hands
of the voters with hearty manner and
inquiring about their relatives.
Some dignified aspirants may dis
like such campaigning. But it has
to be done. People want to know
what a candidate looks like, and
whether he has any human feeling.
If he can't shake hands as if he liked
people, they fear he is not inter-
ested in their interests. 1t may be a
superficial attitude, but it is human
nature.
These aspirants should not be too
lavish with their promises. When
they pledge offices and favOrs to a
lot of supporters, they are pledging
something that may not be theirs to
give. The people want the goods de-
livered in the form of efficient and
low cost government. If they are all
tied up with pledges and promises,
they will fall down on this require
ment, and all their smiles will be
wasted.

HARD SURFACED ROAD
NOW TO SOUTH BOWERS
Hundreds At Opening July Fourth
With Merry Carnival

DR.. Claude Beswick, of Philadel-
phia, gives land for housing fire en-
gines, and other citizens by liberal
contributions make the event mem
orable for the young people of Mil
ford Neck. The following report
was wrote by one who enjoyed the
event:
Friday evening, July 4th, the South
Bowers Fire Company held a carni-
val on the beach front at South Bow
ers. Tables and stands beautifully
decorated by one of the Philadelphia
residents with electric lights of
many colors. Ice cream was given
to all children ON the beach, and
then it was put on sale for all per-
sons. Two of our worthy members
kept the fortune wheel on the hum;
also the crowd laughing by their
many jokes.
A fire works display was given,
which was viewed by the crowd from
benches provided for this purpose. A
large chocolate cake was made and
given by one of the summer resi-
dents, which when chanced off add
ed considerable to the receipts for
the evening. Our fire engine (of
which we are very proud was given
tc us by a man well known about
Milford, also one of our Oldest sum-
mer residents, DR.. Claud Beswick,
and to whom we give many thanks;
but this is not all that he has done.
He has given the ground on which
to erect the fire engine house, which
will be started soon. All praise to a
man like this; who has made it pos
sible that we might have a good fire
apparatus instead. Now those living
south of us, we would like it to be
known, that we stand ready to help
in case of fire. We wish we could
extend this help to our many friends
in North Bowers, and indeed we will;
if you get us the bridge. Perhaps
many do not know that we have a
hard surface road into South Bow
ers; to all such we invite you to
look this section over. See the splen-
did farms, then motor on into South
Bowers, where you will find i'm
by painting and gen
eFal clean up is in progress. Albert
Webb, Jr., our beach owner, has had
several buildings moved away from
the road and is doing his best to help
South Bowers progress. Those of
YOU who were not here missed a
treat; so please read your Milford
Chronicle carefully, because We ex-
pect to have another jolly time to-
gether soon. We will notify you
through this paper.

WEDDING THE GARDEN

Most anyone can find a little
pleasure in planting a garden here
in Milford on those beautiful days in
spring when the birds are singing
their cheeriest, and when the tenn
perature is just warm enough to
make out door life seem a kind of
heaven after the chills of winter.
But wedding that same garden on
a hot summer day is another PROPOSE
ton. The weeds grow and flourish
where the flowers and vegetables
wilt and die. They seem to defy you
with an arrogant impudence. How
ever, it is just as healthful work as
playing golf, and the plants say
"Thank you," as they rejoice at be-
ing freed from these rude and crowd
ing competitors.

THE FIRST FLIGHT

1t is a romantic sight about our
homes, when the young birds are
seen taking their first flights from
the parental nest. They are awk-
ward in these first Tapping adven-
lures. The parent birds sometimes
have to push them out of the nest to
make them try it, while the old
ones sit around and chirp anxiOusly,
for fear the fiedgelings fall into the
paws of old Sis Cat, licking her chops
in anticipation on the back door
step.
1t is much like the similar scene
in human life, when the youngsters
start out on their first flight into the
world, having finished training in
the nests of home and school. Simi-
larly the parents stand around anx-
iously chirping.
The feathered birds may have
sometimes to be pushed out of the
nests, but our children are ready and
eager to fly, even if they bump their
heads. In fact they have been slip
ping out of the nests many times
when the old folks weren't looking.
Some perils are lurking around, that
they have not fully learned about.

TRIBUTE TO JUDGE MORRIS

Delightful in every way was the
dinner last evening in honor of
Judge Hugh M. Morris, who has just
retired from the Federal bench,
which he has adorned for more than
a decade, to engage in private prac-
tice.
The tribute was under the aus
pices of the Chamber of Commerce,
a large percentage of the members
attending along with others, the in
vited guests. The handsome large
room of the Hotel du Pont BiltmOre
was we'll filled with representative
citizens, business and professional
men, women also being present and
enjoying the proceedings.
One marked point about the af-
fair was the genuineness of the
thanks offered, the feeling of good
will, an appreciation of the services
rendered this community by Judge
Morris. His good works and influ-
ence spread far beyond the bounds
of this State. They reached other
communities, as was shown by the
gracious messages of those who
could not attend the dinner last
evening.
All elements in the community
have displayed far more than the
usual interest in the retirement of
Judge Morris, and this civic and per-
sonal concern was manifested in the
exercises last evening with and in
the large number and representative
character of those assembled. The
feelings of all found verbal express
sion in the remarks of president of
the Chamber Powell. Toastmaster
Richards and Judge Burlington, of
the Federal Court, in Pennsylvania,
spoke for fellOw-members of the Fed
eral judiciary. Every angle was
covered.
1t was noted that Judge Morris has
deep human feelings and sympathy.
Great service he rendered not only
in the ordinary routine of the Fed
eral Court, but in Americanization |
and the naturalization of foreigners. |
The effects of that labor cannot cas-
lily be measured, but certain it is that |
we have many very good citizens |
among that foreign element.
Along with the regret at the re-
tirement of the judge were the well
wishes for his future which fortu- |
nately will be with us. The exalted |
of the work of the judici-
ary in general was noted along with
The various qualifications that must
be assessed by the court. Judge
Norris fitted in. Summed up, it was
4 tribute of friends and neighbors
deserved. The affair was
)ne of those things which make life
worth the living, not only for the
erson honored, but for those who
in rendering that honor.
Judge Morris showed his deep appre-

TWO WAYS TO REAT CRIME

A commission appointed by Presi-
dent Hoover is now studying how
the laws can be enforced and crime
can be checked. Certain changes in
laws and legal methods, which would
operate toward more prompt and
certain justice, would help cut down
crime. The criminal element would
not be so ready to defy the cOmmun-
ity.
But such methods are a good deal
like curing a disease after it gets
thoroughly started. 1t is better for
man to cure the causes that lead
to disease, so he won't get sick. If
he would do certain healthful things
before these troubles start, he would
not probably need doctors, nurses,
OF medicines.
Thousands of boys go wrong mere
ly because they never had a chance
to develop some gift that was latent
in them. They could not fit into the
conditions they had to meet, could
not get their lessons in school, or
do any kind of a job in sight. In
lany cases, no one extended any
helping hand to them. Consequent
ly they developed an attitude of re-
bellion, and becoming bold and de-
fiant, they developed into lawbreak-
ers.
A lot of those boys have talent, and
the majority of them could have
made good at some useful occupa-
tion. Many of them have mechanical
schools they attended required them
to keep working on book lessons
which for some reason they could not
grasp. If someone could have dis
covered what their abilities were,
and places could have been found
for them where they could make use
of such mechanical talent, they
would have made good.
ne HuOIe ldlehl, the HlOIe OIlSl-
nality and initiative a boy has, the
more he is likely to use these talents
in some wrong way if that ability is
not recognized. It should be some
ones business to find out what abili-
ties such boys have, and give them a
chance to develop them before they
get started on some wrong path.
