OBTAINING INDUSTRIES

Cities and towns everywhere are
to find new industries. If a
group of people let it be known that
they are looking for a chance to
start a manufacturing plant, they
are bombarded with offers. Induce
ments are given to locate in various
places.
Such concerns do not consider
alone the specific inducements that
may be offered to them, such as fav-
orable tax rates or remission OF
taxes, provision of working quar-
ters, etc. They also give careful
thought to the advantages that diff
ferent towns offer. They consider
whether a town would be a good
place to find help, and whether their
help would be contented there. They
like to settle in wide awake towns,
where it will be possible to get
things done.
If the affairs of a community are
run in a progressive way, it is ike
" to obtain new enterprises. Busl-
ness men like to locate in places
that show public spirit and activity
They fight shy of slow and sleepy
places, where people are satisfied
with their past.
The most effective way to secure
industrial development, is to make
a town just as desirable as possible
for residence. 1t needs good schools
good stores, good roads to the out
lying country, good sidewalks on
which people can get about com
fortably in all kinds Of weather. 1t
needs railroad, bus, or trolley lines
into the outlying country. There
needs to be a general willingness to
take up new ideas and carry them
through successfully.
The people who complain that
their home towns do not go ahead
faster, are frequently the very ones
who obstruct the progress of these
towns, by clinging persistently to
old methods which hold the town
stationary and discourages people
from locating there. Let us avoid
that spirit in Milford.

SAYING NOTHING AND SAVING
WOOD

An article on ex-President Cool
idge in the January Atlantic Month
ly, by Gamaliel Bradford, lays stress
on his unceasing work and his silent
habits, as leading reasons for his
political success. This is about
equivalent to the advice which the
old timers of Delaware always gave
us, to "say nothing and saw wood"
The people who have followed tnat
counsel have usually come out quite
we'll. They did not necessarily ac-
uuire fame, but people had faith IN
them. When they wanted folks to
fill responsible positions, they turn
ed to that kind of person.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS

If you are not happy in your home
town, you probably lack qualities OF
adjustment the want of which would
make you unhappy anywhere.
People often say there is nothing
doing in their home town, but peo-
ple who are willing to do things find
plenty of folks who will aid them.
The word "business" comes from
a word meaning "Get busy" If your
business isn't busy with trade, you
can make it so by telling people
what YOU have through advertising.

ANOTHER STEP FROM WAR

The root cause Of the World War,
was the control exercised over the
German empire in 1914 by a monar-
chical government which believed
in military domination as the best
means for national prosperity. Since
that government was overthrown in
1918, large party in Germany have
wanted it restored, and have claimed
that Germany would never get pros
perity back, until it got back that
kind of government.
Germany recently voted on the
question whether it would reject the
Young plan for settling the repara-
tions question. The adherents Of old
time monarchy voted to reject it.,
but they only polled one quarter Of
the vote necessary to thrown down
the plan. Which suggests that that
once warlike county has learned a
thing or two in Is years. And the
buys Of Delaware helped teacn it TO
them.

SALES RESISTANCE OVERCOME

SALES RESISTANCE OFEhCOME
A recent survey by retail store
research organization showed that
80 per cent of the sales of a certain
grocery store consisted of nationally
advertised products. 1t must have
been easier to sell these products.
Salespeople must have found that
they had less difficulty in persuad-
ing customers to accept these goods.
The sales resistance that lies in the
minds of our questioning public
when they have money to spend, was
overcome by the publicity given
these products through advertising
The goods were half sold before
the salesman mentioned them. All
he had to do was to speak Of them'
and at once the previous conception
in the mind of the customer rein
forced what the salesman had to say,
and he decided to take these brands.
Advertising prepares people for
buying. It gives them a preliminary
impression favorable to certain
goods, so that they do not feel the
same doubts as they do with un-
known products. They feel that
anything that is advertised so thor
oughly must be as good as anything
that can be produced.
The same principle works to help
advertised stores win out. The ques-
tioning spirit which is in the minds
of all our people is overcome by this
publicity. Having seen a store con-
stantly advertised, having often
been impressed by its announce
ments Of good values and the de-
scriptions of goods which it has
printed, the people are in a mood
to 90 to such store when they
want anything in that line. Their
sales resistance is overcome, and
it is very easy for such stores to
please them. They feel that such a
store must have good goods, or it
would not advertise them so conf
IDENTITY.

A RECENT EDITORIAL in the
"Bureau Farmer" says that the bar
rier of mud which five months out
of the year separates five million
farm families from the markets
where they sell their produce, and
likewise buy their supplies, is OF
supreme importance in the agricul-
tural economic situation.
According to this authority, there
are almost two and one-half million
miles of unimproved dirt roads IN
the United States, and nearly five
million farmers live on them. Far
mers in this country pay seven per
cent of the highway tax, yet less
than three per cent Of them are sit
uated on year-round highways.
Here is room for some farm re-
Iief' activity which will actually re-
lieve. The greatest present need, in
the matter of highways, is improved
farm-to-market roads. These can be
constructed, with a durable water
proof surface, at low cost and
without large maintenance expense.
The five million farmers now liV-
ing with a barrier Of mud between
them and their markets, are deserV-
ing of immediate consideration.
Good roads will probably do more
than anythin gelse to advance agri-
cultural progress and prosperity.

IT'S A GOOD PLAN for all Of us,
now and then, to stop and take
stock of ourselves. Men who oper-
ate stores and shops often do this
at the beginning of the New Year.
They check over all the goods they
have on hand, so they know just
what shape they are in to begin an
other year.
Suppose you sit down and "take
inventory" as the merchant does.
What have you accomplished during
1929? You are a year older. You
should have acquired some impor-
liant knowledge during the past
year. You should be stronger, and
healthier. You should have learned
important lessons in living, have a
little more common sense"
Think about these things. Then,
when your inventory shows you that
Won are a little weak on certain
points, plan to strengthen those
noints during 1880. This is good
nav to make some resolution"
that amount to something.

EYESORES

Most towns have eyesores. They
make a town or neighborhood ap-
pear less desirable and progressive
than it really is.
Unpainted buildings, tumble down
sheds, weedy lawns and grounds
shabby houses, heaps Of refuse, mar
the looks of many of our towns IN
Delaware. In many places this stu
alton is realized, but people have
felt that the owners Of these prop
critics can't be interfered with. The
neighbors whose property is depre-
ciated by such conditions, or the Of
ficers and members of community
organizations, do well to remon-
strate in a courteous way with the
people who maintain unattractiVe
conditions, suggesting how much
more valuable their property would
be if it could be improved.

Milford, Friday, January 81, 1880

A GOOD MANY PEOPLE in Del
aware who are fussing over income
tax returns, might save themselves
much of the bother they are having.
They should make it their practice
to keep complete records through
the year of all transactions that
should figure in these returns.
It is often quite proposition for
a man to look UP the papers over
years time, that will give him the
facts he needs to know. Frequently
some of these papers will have been
mislaid. Unless he has careful
system of filing and indexing, he is
likely to miss some of them.
Taxpayers are supposed to keep
complete and accurate records. If
their accounts have to be examined
by an internal revenue official, he
could not be expected to be lenient,
if loose methods of bookkeeping are
shown.
It takes very little time to make
an entry of a transaction, if it is
done on the spot Suppose a man
sells a stock or bond, and it is up
to him to report gain or loss. By the
time he makes out his return, he has
probably forgotten what he paid for
the security and what he got for it.
But it would not have taken him five
minutes to hvae recorded those
facts at the times the purchase and
sale were made. Then he would have
his figures all ready to add to his
tax computations when the same are
needed.
Our income tax system will be
permanent, and most Of the people
who pay now will have to pay indef-
nitely. This job of work will have
to be done each year, and it is for
their interest to plan it so that 1t
can be done expeditiously. The car
--4oonists print funny pictures about
harassed taxpayers tearing their
hair and trying to systematic con-
fused heaps of papers, but the trou-
BILE with these folks is that their
records are imperfect.

IT is INDEED a poor community
about which nothing good can he
said. But poorer still is the citizen
so blinded by petty prejudices and
self-interest that his criticism Of his
home town is not such as we are
anxious to have strangers hear. We
are thankful that we have a mini
mum of such citizens in Milford and
yet as long as we have single one
Of that type it is one too many for
the good of the community.
Just as every human being has
faults, so every community, which
is but a collection of human beings,
has it's defects. And considering
the number Of human failings it's a
wonder every community doesn't
have more defects. The community,
this and every other one, is only
what its citizens make it, and if one
knocks" his home town it reflects
upon him as much as it does on his
neighbors. By fault-f1nding he ad-
mits he has failed to do his part in
helping to make his home town
what it should be.
The citizen who is most generous
in his praise of his own community
is best serving his own interest and
the interest of his neighbors. If there
are things to be condemned, then
condemn them. But at the same
time be sure you have a remedy,
and that you are willing to do your
part toward correcting whatever
evils or defects in need Of correc-
ton. It might be a good idea to
keep that at the head Of your new
resolutions for 1880,

SCOTT LEAvITT Tells
OF TARIFF AID

cent bill which gives the best rates
to Montana's products ever writ
ten into law, but they have fou-
nd our people we'll informed. Our
people know that the tariff on
wool has given Montana producers
an average advantage of 13 cents
pound over Canadian growers
this season, which has meant at
least $3,250,000 added income this
year. Our people know that cattle
in Montana are above Canadian
prices about the amount of the
tariff"
Leavitt declared that when his
opponents charged that living costs
increased as a result of the tar
off, Glendive editor inquired
as to the truth of this from the
Glendive merchants and disrupted
the Democratic contention when
he editorially listed prices on arti-
cles of wearing apparel, food, ma
chinery, household utensils, etc.
that have declined in the past year.
The congressman added, 'Those
farmers in Montana who have
planted $4,000 acres of sugar beets
this year and produced some 528,-
600 tons, bringing narly three
and three quarters millions of dol
lars, besides the beet pulp and
tops, will not relish our senior
senator's opposition to a protec-
tive tariff on American sugar.
Their opportunity to select a man
who believes in protecting Mon
tana's industries, her livestock and
her agriculture, lies in voting to
send A. J. Galen to the United
States senate and in supporting

ne also discussed briefly the |
matter of worldwide depression.
In the interest of his own candi-
dacy for reelection Mr.. Leavitt
said but little. He thanked the
people of Carbon county for the
splendid support given him in the
past and assured them of his con-
tinued active interest in their be-
half.

SCOTT LEAVITT'S ACHIEVEMENTS

SINCE Scott Leavitt was sent
to congress by constituents
of the Second district of Mon
tana, he has secured the enact
ment of 70 bills under his own
name and of direct benefit to
Montana peole. This number is
in addition to numerous others
introduced by him as chairman
of the committee on Indian At

Mr.. Leavitt's laws are prac-
tically all of the type which do
not impose penalties and are
not sumptuary in character.
They have to do with the rights
and needs of individual people
and of Montana communities
and the state at large.
