DELAWARE REPuRrJCANs in

DELAWARE REPUBLICANS in
convention assembled have nomi-
mated their State Ticket and have
placed thereon men who are we'll
known throughout the State. Gov
ernOr Buck should receive the sup
port of Republicans and at the No
vember elections most assuredly
will drFw strong support from the
opposition party. While the friends
of Congressman Houston are disap-
pointed that he did not receive a re-
nomination on Wednesday, it is GER
tain that they will heartily support
the ticket as nominated. Reuben
Satterthwaite. the Congressional
nominee, is now completing a sue
cessful term as Attorney General.
He was supported by the Better
Government League because of his
known wet views. DR.. r. F. Corley,
nominee for Lieutenant Governor,
while a new face to Republicans
voters, is well-known and liked by
those in Smyrna and the surround
ing country who know him. Daniel
J. Layton, candidate for Attorney
General is known throughout the
State. He is an able lawyer and |
will make a good official if elected. |
Henry Hazel, who will run for Aud
itor, is the present Lieutenant Gov
ernOr and is an outright dry" in his
convictions. George S. Williams
will run well for State Treasurer.
Taken all in all the Republicans
have presented a ticket to the cleo
-orate which should have the sup
port of all Republicans. The Chron-
Gle will support the ticket one hun
lred per cent.

INVESTING MONEY AT HOME

1t is often remarked that the coun-
try~is on the eve of new era, in
which the causes that have produced
financial losses in the past will be
eliminated so far as possible. How
will this new era affect daily life as
respects such hazards?
People have just suffered great
losses from poor investments, as the
result in the majority of cases of
putting money into things they
knew nothing about and into enter
prises located in foreign lands or
far away from home. In future, they
should be more disposed to put
money into home things, owning
their own home places, depositing
money in good home banks, buying
home town mortgages, and shares in
home business.
Milford chronicle., 1932-09-16
WALKING TO SCHOOL

How far should the schoolboy OF
schoolgirl of Delaware be expected
to walk to school? The st. Louis
board of education has answered
that question, as respects boys al
least, by refusing to continue allow
ances for carfare to boys living
within mile of their grade schools.
Many of us can recall when coun-
try children would frequently walk
three miles or more each way, six
miles in all, to attend central high
schools. Those who attended grade
schools did not usually have to walk
so far, as the Little Red school
houses scattered about the town
were supposed to provide a temple
of learning in every locality. But
many from these back roads tramped
good long way.
Some of these weary little plod-
ders would get rides from neighbors
quite often. But things were not
made so easy for children then. Our
people become very tender hearted.
They could not stand it to see the
children trudging along under the
hot sun or over the bad roads of
winter.
When communities begin to get
soft hearted, plenty of folks take ad-
vantage. Probably in many cases,
where cash allowances for school
transportation are given, children
will be required to walk, and the
family will pocket the funds. Which
is one way of earning money.
Probably the children who walk
ed several miles a day in those
times, would show quite as good
hearts, lungs, and digestion, as the
pampered youth of today. Perhaps
some were exhausted by excessive
exercise, but most of them would
have had no trouble in covering the
distance if they had been headed for
he little old swimming hole We
must not make things so easy for
he modern child, that he feels he

THE SCHOOL PUPIL's CHANCE

AS our boys and girls start out on
one more school year, every parent
of Milford and rural districts should
have heart to heart talk with his
young learners. They must realize
what this year of opportunity means.
Said the immortal poet of STRAIT
ford, There is a tide in the affairs
of men. which taken at the food
leads on to fortune" This is a poet
ical way of saying that opportuni-
ties are constantly opening to peo-
pie, but they must grasp them when
the tide of life flows. The poet went
on to suggest that If they omitted
to sail with that flood tide, they
spend their lives in shadows and
miseries.
The school is youths flood tide.
The current is flowing strong to-
ward knowledge and attainment. 1t
is reasonably easy for an industrious
youth to flow with all that great tide
of help and inspiration which the
school gives him. If he makes the
effort, learns the lessons, he goes
out fitted for life, and is pretty sure
to make good. But alas, those who
let that tide slip by while they
dream and play, are almost invari-
ably stranded and begged.
School days pass so very quickly,
never to return. Even falling be-
hind a year hurts a youngster. He
has acquired a habit of failure. ut |
can't be done" has become his mot
10. He gets discouraged, and life
Will yield him but few rewards, un-
ess he makes a supreme effort of
and catches up with that
asst flowing tide.
The young people should realize
hat these schools have been pro-
'ided at great expense, and the citi-
ems have made great sacrifices to
maintain them. No other country
ives its young people such rich op-
lortunities. If they can't or won't
AXE advantage of the school, help
eep good order instead of rebelling
gainst lawful authority. the COM (
lunity has very little use for such
mes. They will pay the penalty for
leir Incidence or subbornness.
Milford chronicle., 1932-09-16
THE WOMEN,S CLuRS

Women's clubs are one of the most
powerful forces working for COM
munity development. They rouse
people to take an interest in local
and state government, they watch
the schools and work to have them
well supported, they keep an eye on
public health, and agitate to have
nuisances abolished.
The women can well give the most
enthusiastic support to such socie-
ties. When they attend them and
help pay their expenses, they obtain
educational facilities and pleasant
social life, and they unite the opin-
ions of women in favor of moral and
educational progress, and more
beautiful home town.
REASON why most towns don't
make more rapid progress, is that
they carry such a heavy load of in
different and indolent citizens.
Milford chronicle., 1932-09-16
SONG OF THE SAW

The business boosters all say
they want to hear the sound of the
hammer on jobs of building con-
struction. But before you can hear
the sound of the hammer, you have
to hear the sound of the saw. That
it is being heard was indicated by
the report of 635 lumber mills, that
orders the last week in August were
46 per cent more than output. Usual
ly the last week in August is a very
fiat week.
Looks as if some people had got
ten tired of living in doubled up
families and had determined to build
some new home nests. These are
much needed, since the country has
added about 100000 to its popula-
tion in the past three years.. with
relatively little home building. The
saw and the hammer make a more
cheerful song just now than any
music the bands can play.

THE HOME TOWNS GOOp WIIL


The good will of a successful busi-
ness is worth a lot of money. Peo-
pie spend fortunes creating such a
good will. Similarly the good will
of community is worth a great
sum. If town is known widely as a
fine residence place, that reputation
constitutes good will of high val
ue. 1t draws intelligent and useful
people there to live and do business.
Similarly the reputation of the
business concerns of a place is a
part of city's good will That good
will is created partly by faithful
service, but in a large measure by
the enthusiasm of the residents of
the community, who always say good
words for their home town wherever
they go. When the dwellers in a
place can say nothing but good of it,
its good will becomes an asset of
value.
Milford chronicle., 1932-09-16
ACTIVITIES REOPEN

The people who quit promoting
community interests some weeks
ago because of summer heat, have
now no further excuse for mac
tivity, and should now be on their
job. Most churches, business organ
izations, and other societies go slow
in summer, and feel that not much
can be accomplished during the hot
weather. But now is the time for
them to get busy again.
Our people here in Delaware
towns are eager and ambitious to
see their home town make progress,
but they need the leadership of ac-
tive people who will go ahead and
community efforts. If such
leadership is provided, it will get
support.

A GOOD WILL ENVOY

The Japanese government has not
been too popular of late in this
country, owing to its aggressive pol
icy in Manchuria and China. The
statesmen of that far land seem to
realize that they are looked on as
the worlds naughty boys, since they
are sending to this country a dis
tinguished envoy, Admiral Nomura,
who will seek to conciliate American
opinion.
He will be cordially received, as
our country desires only good rela-
tions with the great overseas en-
pire. Our people may disapprove of
their course, but the United States
will never do anything hostile about
it. Our people have pretty well
learned the lesson that was settle
nothing.
Milford chronicle., 1932-09-16

but if we have an open mind and
care to dig deep enough we will find
that the paramount cause was the
apparent unwillingness of big busi-
ness to recognize the fact that our
farmers have long been neglected
and often exploited to the advantage
Of those whose income is gained
without actual labor.
If the key log in the business jam
is the lost purchasing power of our
more than fifty million people that
reside in small towns and on farms,
is it not reasonable to assume that
by helping them we will best serve
the interests of all? Could anyone
by shutting his eyes and thinking
very hard imagine and good Ameri-
can citizen as wanting to buy and
eat a farmers bread at a price less
than its cost of production?
If we maintain as many do that
the law of supply and demand is in
exorable; let us remember also that
we have moral law that is engrav-
ed on the very tablets of eternity,
namely, IDEAL with others as you
would be dealt" for it is impossible
to "have the cake and eat it"
All four of the measures heretofore
submitted for the relief of our farm
ers have assumed that what we con-
sumo at home would be sold at the
world price plus the amount of the
tariff and that all the surplus would
be marketed abroad at prevailing
world prices.
In this dumping of our surplus lies
their fallacy for we know from our
experience that persistent dumping
would result in higher tariffs abroad
as already witnessed in many coun-
tries.
We need plan of farm relief that
is simple and workable, one that is
not bridled by government red tape,
or requires a government bounty to
maintain. Just such a workable
plan is the price stabilization plan
for wheat, corn, cotton and tobacco. !
It is not based on theory or statis |
tics or an anything that can be learn |
ed from our Government Bureaus in |
Washington, but rather it is based |
On sound Judgment and by personal |

farmers lin the states between our
Atlantic coast line and the Mississip- /
Di river) as to their Willingness to
reduce their acreage in proportion
% the price at which their particu-
ar crop was stabilized.
Our farmers now buy all that the
,ity man buys and in addition every
hing needed for the successful OPP
,ration and maintenance of their
arms and equipment. Their buying
Dower must be maintained if we are

ave. .r -
If the present machine age is re-
ponsible for the forgotten man and
goman let them not lose hope, for
here are signs of an awakening
hat will recognize the fact that ev-
ry citizen has certain inalienable
lights, one of which is. the right to
living wage.
Theory must give way to practice,
nd we must raise the prices of the
armers products to a point that
ill maintain for our working peO-
lie their present standing of liv-
the idea that le-
itimate profits are not the reward

IF national patriotism, telling us
to support the interests of the coun-

ism, telling us to back up our home
town, should be equally good.

Stores in large cities buy OF the
same wholesale concerns that sup

at something, and sneering at

This, Val was sure, was par
ticularly aimed at her, since get

did lay it on bit thick, wear

had given her, the ermine

She might not understand all

looked nicer than they did.
Their husbands certainly looked

proud of her.

all. Maybe he'd do something
