ALL WANT
TO SPEAK

Even old Huebner, who had arrived
late, took part. Hermann looked at
the long speakers list with concern.
After an hour he moved closure Of
the debate owing TO the pressure Of
other important business.
/, They proceeded to the second point
on the agenda: the preparatory work
for the LIST of May! Leaflets 10 be
distributed In the mornings outside
the factories, posters were to be
pasted UP during the night. There
was going to be big meeting on
Sunday night for which house-to-
house canvassing had to be done, the
May number Of the Wedding
Prolet," the local paper issued by the
unit, had to be finished, printed and
distributed. A great many tasks, all
of which had to be done by the
members after their days work.
1t was almost twelve O'Clock before
the meeting closed. Among those
who had volunteered to stick posters
was Kurt, whose night finished at
half-past five.
"Ill come over TO your place in a
few minutes, Hermann, just want
to let Anna know"
"There1l be little row about this,
won't there, Kurt" said Hermann
laughing as he gathered his papers
from the table.

Milford, Friday, May 20, 1888

VOTERS IN DELAWARE will reg
lister their verdict tomorrow as to
whether this State shall cast its lot
with those favoring or rejecting the
Eighteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States. This
controversial portion of the Fed
eral Constitution, known as the
dry section of that article, has
probably caused more wranging and
fighting throughout the Nation than
has any since the slavery question
was settled in 1865. For the first
time in the history of the United
States the voters have been asked
TO decide on a Constitutional Amend
ment by and through the election of
delegates to a Convention. The
Delaware delegates are pledged
either for" OF against" the repeal
and they must SO vote on June 2Sth
when they assemble at Dover. AT
ter years of agitation the voters are
now face to face with the question,
shall the Amendment stand, or
shall il be thrown in the discard.
That in substance is the question on
which the decision is to be made.
There is no reason why every
Delaware voter, man or woman,
black or white, should not register
his or her opinion on this subject.
The matter is not one of politics and
it is the first time that it has been
presented to the voters away from.
the influences of a general election. |
While the campaign by both factions |
has been a quiet one in Kent and |
Sussex counties there are indica- |
tions that the citizens are alive to the |
Importance of the question to be |
solved. 1t is certain that a heavy |
vote will be polled. There is little |
doubt but that the voters generally
have made up their minds as to how
they will vote tomorrow. 1t is not
for the newspapers to use their col
umns for propaganda either for or
against, and this the Chronicle does
not intend to do A true expression
Of the desires of the majority Is |
the only way to get it
is for the voters to 90 to the polls,
cast their ballots as their conscience
dictates and await the verdict. Vote .

EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS

The old saying was that Whats
everybody's business is nobody's
business. There are certain things
to do in every community, which
everyone can see should be done,
but it is not the business of anyone
in particular to do them. SUCH
things go undone, until town forms
organizations to get them done.
Then it becomes up to the officers
and members of those organizations
to do them. In that way well or
ganized town gets results and re-
moves obstacles to progress and dis
agreeable conditions, while the un-
organized towns drift along in the
old rut, with the old undesirable fea-
lures existing year after year.
To get everybody's business at
tended to, a town must have good
organizations. These organizations
will have to do some real work, and
they must be given the backing of
large and enthusiastic memberships.

NOW is THE TINE TO SPEND

The public has grown weary of the
old slogans to the effect that prices
are booming! Buy now!" etc. But
there's truth in those phrases at
present.
Recent imitation activities and the
prospective change in the gold back
ing of the dollar, will be the most
powerful price stimulant in three
years. 1t really is time to buy now!
Best of all, by buying now, and
building and repairing now, you can
do your bit in the most dramatic
stage of the war against unemploy-
ment and distress and at the same
time secure the greatest return on
your dollar in more than genera
ton. ......G.. ...f,-.,,.
A dollar in property improvement
means a dollar touching the lives of
a thousand people-and doing a
thousand dollars work. Repair the
steps, paint the house, remove fire
hazards, renovate the garden, renew
rotting foundations with concrete
do any of these things, and you'll be
a factor in the work of recovery.
1t is not prophecy to say that in
your lifetime you'll never have the
to get work done as
cheaply as now. It's fact The price
structure is abnormally low. 1t is
lower than even the intenseness of
depression iustifies. AS demand in
creases, the rate of climb will be
sharply accelerated.
Remember that providing jobs is
cheaper than charity-and that it's
better to provide job now than to
nave to contribute to charity next
year. Remember, too, that unless
he jobs are provided it won't be long
Until nothing is left for charity!

SLEEPY DRIVERS

A good many automobile accidents
are attributed to the fact that the
drivers were asleep or doing. Many
people can recall times when they
felt very sleepy as they sat at the
wheel, and found their eyes heavy
with an almost irresistible tendency
to close. 1t is dangerous work driv-
ing a car when you feel that way.
Automobile wheels do not navigate
themselves. The steering mechan-
ism is very delicate system. If not
vigilantly watched, it turns the car
in the wrong direction.
Better stop and stretch out on
the ground by the side of the road,
Mr.. Driver, if you feel that way.
1t may save you weeks in the hos
pital.

Ann Dreaming Dewdrop, a young
Arkansas Jersey COW unknown to
the dairy world a few days ago, is
now officially named, Ann Dream

that she has the unique distinction
of being the millionth purebred Jer-

FINANCING BUSINESS

The federal reserve system is
working with President Roosevelt
to provide business with the credit
it needs. 1t is trying to make it
easier for legitimate enterprises to
borrow money as they do in normal
times. There have been many COM
plants that industries wishing to
expand or undertake new expendi-
ture, have not been able to finance
these enterprises.
The business system of the coun-
try rests largely on credit. If bust
ness concerns were required to do
all their business on their own cap
ital, most of them would have to
curtail their operations. They de-
pend largely ON borrowed capital.
If they can't borrow the money on
good sound propositions, they can't
employ normal amount of labor.
The improvement in banking con-
ulllOuS 10 VI 6ICdl hcAp III plOfAulhB
sufficient credit for the industries.
When a closed bank opens up, funds
are made available for normal op-
Grafton of business. Since the bank
holidays of March, the banks that
have opened up include about 80
per cent of the nations bank as
sets. If now congress will pass
such legislation as is needed to give
he country a thoroughly reorgan-
zed and sound bank structure,
many obstacles in the way of ex-
.ension of credit to industry will |
disappear.
Many perfectly sound banks were |
iorced to restrict credit, because so |
many people descended upon them
md drew out their money. AS long |
rs people were boarding money, it
could not be lent to business.
So if the government will pass
needed bank legislation, and If peo-
pie will stop boarding money, there /
will be abundant funds with which
o lend to business, and business
will thrive and prosper.

IN MEMORY OF ALL SOLDIERS

The National Memorial Day is the
occasion which the United States
has set aside to do ali honor to the
memory of all soldiers. 1t is a rec
Ognition of the heroic deeds of the
men who in times of danger have
risen up to defend their homes 1t
calls on all Of us to accept obliga-
tions to our country, as essential to
our welfare.
If the world were rightly organ
ized, there would be no need any
more of any wars or even of any
soldiers. But we have the tough and
irreconcilable old human nature to
deal with, infected with all those
traits of selfshness and intolerance
which have made life what it is
since the days when the traditional
Adam imposed his curse on the race.
So we do not know even now, at
what hour or moment the plague of
war may again break loose upon the
world. 1t is a possibility against
which We must have protection. And
we must never forget to do full
honor to the men who have defend
ed us in the past.
1t is a terrible thing for a man
to have to 60 to war, facing the per-
lis of battle, and the suffering of the
war experience. Modern war seems
to grow worse and worse, and the
trench fighting of the last war ex-
posed the men to greater hardships
than those they ever endured in
previous conflicts.
Let us never forget the noble men
who have defended our country and
our communities. They gave us
their all. There was never an army
in which there was SO little shirk-
ing and cowardice. We must ever
honor them for their great deeds.
And the message of those who have |
gone to us would be, that while we
must defend our country from all |
future hazards, the United States
should pursue such eonciliatory and |
friendly policies that no nation will
ever again desire to 60 to war with
us,

THE FORGOTTEN GENERATION

The young people who graduated
from schools two years ago, one
year ago, and are graduating this
year, are called the forgotten gem
Grafton, in an address by Mrs.
Grace M. Poole, president of the
General Federation Of Women's
clubs. She referred to the many
young folks in these classes who as
yet have no work, and who stand
outside the activities of life, eager
to do things but finding no one who
will let them work.
They will not be forgotten long.
They have brains and energy, and
will not be ashamed to do any kind
of honest work. People with that
willing spirit make places for them
selves in due time.
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-26
EVERYBODY HAS TO PAY

The American people will be pay
ing debts contracted during the
World War, for a generation after
the war closed. And they will be
paying for years to come, the debts
which the recent depression is i'm
posing on the country. The govern
ment is now going to enter on a
large program of public works to
furnish employment for the idle.
They need the work, and public SEN
timent says we must loosen up some
how, and give it to them.
But good many people who
clamor for something to be done to
provide such work, are not equally
enthusiastic when it comes to pay
ing taxes for it. They generally
look for someone else to pay taxes.
The common theory is that new
taxes should be levied upon the peo-
pie of wealth. But there are not so
many people of wealth as there
were. These folks have the legal
right, if the taxes appear to them
to be too heavy, to put their money
into tax exempt bonds. So when
people demand more expenditure by
the government to find work for the
idle, everybody has to help pay for
IT, In times like these il is neceS-
sary to spend money for relief pur-
poses. but people should not get the
idea that they can enter upon lib
eral expenditures without having to
pay for it, When taxes go up,
everybody is hit, directly or indi-
rectly.
If the federal government can't
pay its ordinary bills, and if it
keeps running into debt for such
costs, it is not operated on business
principles. If it wants to maintain
its credit, it must quit that impru-
dent policy. But if its expenditures
provide permanent additions to the |
resources of the nation, the expendi-
ture may be well justified. However,
people should always understand,
that when they vote to have the gov
ernment run into debt, they vote
more taxes which they will have to
help pay themselves.

FOR MEMORIAL DAY

The National Memorial Day is
specially consecrated to honor the
deeds of patriotism. If we empha-
sized this note of patriotism as the
war veterans wish we might, we
should be glad to attend services
of commemoration for the soldiers
who have performed deeds of Valor
in the past. But our people are so
fond of their sports and their pas
times, that on this great patriotic
occasion such exercises are too Of
ten neglected.
But there are some uses that we
can easily make of this day. We
can use it as the occasion to teach
the young people, that if we want a
country that shall be worthy of
those who have gone before us, we
must perform the duties of citizen
ship better than in the past. Pa
triotism today calls on us for con-
stant warfare with those forces of
political corruption, deterioration,
and economic selfishness that af-
fiict the nation.
This warfare is not like a war of
military conflict, something that
comes once in many years, or which
may never come again ON any seri-
Gus scale. 1t is something that calls
for constant effort. There is rarely
a month, perhaps not a week, in
which the good citizen is not called
on for some effort against the forces
and tendencies which threaten the
public welfare.
AS wise political action calls for
understanding of our
civic problems, the good citizen |
should know what the public serv-
ants are doing, what laws are passed |
or likely to be passed, what prob
lens must be met by some kind of
government action. If we neglect
these duties, the soldiers who have
been taken from us will say that we
have battled but poorly for our
country. If we fulfill them, we shall
produce a nation that will be worthy
Of the high deeds of our greatest
battle fields.

THE PLEASANT HOME

AS years go on, the American peo-
pie feel more and more distaste for
ugly and disorderly surroundings.
Young people brought up in some
crowded tenement, say they want
something better. They will go a
considerable distance from their
work, and put up with very small
quarters, if they can find neat and
attractive little home nest.
Disorderly and run down habita-
tions are likely to stand unoccupied.
Owners would better fix them up and
make them look like real homes, if
they want to sell or rent them. 1t
does not cost very much to renovate
a house now, and the returns from
it after renovation will be much
greater as time goes on.

AMERICA AND THE WORLD

Premier Macdonald OF England
said that the appeal of President
Roosevelt to the heads of 50 nations,
asking them to support definite
peace measures, reduction of arma-
ment, nOn-aggression agreements,
etc, ended the period of American
Isolation This point of view will
displease many who have felt that
the United States should keep out
OF foreign entanglements.
The ideal of minding our own
business is in general a good one
for people and nations. However,
the nations are very closely tied to-
gether by trade relations, and the
quarrels they start in foreign coun-
tries do us infinite injury. If we
devote ourselves exclusively to
minding our own business, our
rights may be trampled upon.
Suppose some European country
starts war, and the other nations
OF Europe decide that that country
is an aggressor nation, and has
started that war. These nations will
probably proceed to declare a block
ade of that country, and attempt to
cut off all trade between that coun-
try and other nations.
What attitude will the United
States take in such a case? Shall
we insist on our rights to trade with
that power which is thus declared
to have started a war? We might
make some money by such trade,
and yet such money would be i'll
gotten gains if it encouraged fight
ing. And goods shipped to such a
country might never be paid for.
One thing this country might do,
and that would be to refuse to make
any protest against the interruption
of trade with such an aggressor
country. In that way, without vio-
lation of neutrality, the United
States could give substantial help
to efforts to put down a fighting ma
ton. The United States does not
want to be drawn into any more
wars, but on the other hand, it |
wants to use its influence to dis
courage fighters.

THOUGHTS FOR PICNICKERS

THOUGHTS FOR PICNICkERS
The picnic season is with us again.
The American people love it. Some
how it thrills them, to pack the ca
pacious old lunch basket with those
juicy sandwiches and luscious
doughnuts, add some hot coffee in
the good old thermos bottle, pile
the load into the automobile, and
HE themselves to some scenic spot.
Second rate food will taste better
than the best under these stimulat-
ing surroundings. And the house
keeper says that the dull work of
washing dishes is abolished.
Great are the athletic stunts at
the large family and society picnics.
Men who thought their athletic days
gone forever, will bat baseballs
and run bases like kids. Which
helps the liniment business the next
day.
One word of counsel should be
given. Please, Mr., Mrs, and Miss
Picnicker, don't descend on some
lovely beauty spot out in the open,
all verdant and rural in its charm
ing green, and turn it into a pigpen
with your dirty refuse. Pick it all
up as carefully as if it was on your
front lawn, and we shall all bless
you here in Delaware.

MAKING MEN THINK

President Emeritus Hibben, of
Princeton University, who died in
an automobile accident a few days
ago, was famed because his admin
istration instituted at PRINCETON
system of individual study and re-
search by the students, the purpose
of which was to make them think"
Education of any kind never gets
very far, unless it induces students
and pupils to think. Some of the
fundamental things, like the alpha
bet and rules of grammar and arith-
metic, must be learned by heart.
But when we go beyond that, if we
merely repeat things like parrots
which the textbook tells us, we be-
come negligible influences in the
world. Smarter men and women
use such non-thinking persons for
their own ends.

Now it is mine-see, right in here
Between my two fingers a rose bud
Wouldn't that give yellow bees a

The blue of rain-swept skies is hid.

grows up there can be no dawdling
about her job, for the standard of
economical milk production has
climbed to high levels since the time
of Lily /. Modern dairies are man
aged efficiently and every COW must
earn a profit for her owner.
Mr. Henson and his family believe
in winning first rank places with
their farm and dairy projects. Mrs.
Henson took first prize for the best
Handicapped yard in 1882, and Mr..
Henson first prize in 1881 for the
best pasture planting program, in
Washington County, Arkansas, con-
tests. Both David and Eugene Hen
son, their sons, have won premiums
at state and county fairs with Jer-
seys which they exhibited. The sue
cessful Henson dairy business was
started in 1921 and furnishes an i'm
portant part of the farm income.
Modern methods are used not only
in the dairy but in the operation of
the entire farm, which has been in
the possession of the Henson fam
lily for more than half a century.
