From reports of committees it is
gained that tickets are much in de
mand and huge crowds are predicted
for both balls. Those attending either

ning's pleasure together with the
satisfaction Of contributing to most
worthy cause, as all proceeds go to
the Warm Springs Foundation for the

WISDOM

There is a destiny that makes us
brothers-none goes his way alone

REGULAR WORK

The Presidents economic security
committee. it is predicted, will rec
ommend a plan by which workers
shall be given a guarantee that they
will have employment. How far could
such a plan be applied. to ordinary
business?
If wage-earners could be sure of
work, we should see a great revival
of industry. The fear of unemploy-
ment is holding back prosperity.
People who have had periods of
idleness, or fear they are going to
have them, go slow about spending.
If these folks could have definite
assurance of work. they would spend
money more freely, which would
stimulate the industries.
But employers will ask how they
can guarantee people their jobs, in
view of existing uncertainties? Fac
tories usually run on orders. and
would not usually promise jobs be-
yond the time when the orders are
filled.
Many industries might stimulate
trade in dull times. by offering to
sell goods at off seasons for lower
prices. The people will usually huy
if they are given an object to do so.
If they could save money by buying
at times when business is dull, many
would do so, and idle factories would
get work.
Bargain sales by merchants help
keep business going. When a mer-
chant cleans out old stock by offer
ing special bargains, he obtains cash |
with which he can make new pur- /
chases, and new current of trade /
flows to the factories. Advertising |
could be used more to keep the fac
tories running in dull periods. If
the American people could form the
habit of buying more goods at off |
seasons and at special sales, work
in the factories would be more reg
ular, more workers would feel sure
of their jobs, money would be spent
more freely, and prosperity would
make a rapid advance.

YOU PAY
Who pays the tax bill?

Who pays the tax bill?
Everyone-the day laborer and
the salaried employe and the mil
lionaire.
Who pays the bulk of it?
The middle-income group-those
who earn just enough to adequately
support their families. educate their
children, and put a little away for
old age In other words. the bulk
of it is paid by the average American
citizen.
Why don't the very rich pay most
of the tax bill?
Because they Garland here is
one of the greatest tax fallacies ever
perpetrated on the public. It's easy
to say tax the rich"-it's hard to
find the rich to tax. Even in boom.
times. they are rare fauna, and eX
tortionate taxes upon their incomes
can pay for but a fraction of the
cost of government. In depression
times. they become still rarer-and
almost the whole burden falls upon
the ordinary citizen.
Who would benefit most from tax
reduction?
The reader can easily answer that
for himself. Today about 25 per
cent of the national income goes TO
support government, federal, state
and local. If you earn $4,000 a year,
you must pass approximately $500
of it on to the tax collector. 1t goes
when you buy your groceries, drive
your car, pay your utility bill, take
a train trip. attend a movie. or eat
a meal in a restaurant. The cost /
of everything you need and use,
everything you buy. is partly repre- [
sented by taxes. Every tax must be .
passed on TO the consumer-manu-
'acturers and middlemen and retail
ers have no way of producing money
1ut of the air.
No matter what the tax, it is diff
used so rapidly all are hit by it.

THE PROCESSION OF THE YEARS

Cynical people remark that jan
uary 1st is no different in any way
from December 31st. Then why all
this horn blowing and seeing the
old year out. and other excitement
and confusion?
January 1st may not be any diff
ferent, but on any morning we set
out on a tremendous enterprise. 1t
is a good idea to take one day a
year. and make some consequence of
ii. On January 1st. 1885. we start
out on journey of $50 100000 miles.
which we shall complete before next
December 31st. That is nothing un-
usual, and We are completing with
the end of 1884. a journey of pre-
cisely the same length, in the path
which We have taken around the
center of the solar system.
People feel they have not had
much opportunity to travel, but any
way every man, woman, and child
on this earth has traversed $780,
100000 miles since January 1st, 1884.
and has been carried through that
inconceivably vast space by the mo-
tion of the earth on which we all
stand.
1t is a most marvellous thing. that
this vast moment goes on so silent
ly and quietly that we are not con-
scious of it. Every second We have
moved 10 miles through space, but
we do not know we are moving. The
procession of the years is an amaz-
ing thing. and on New Years day
we should think a moment of the 1
infinity of the power that controls
this vast procession of planets and
stars.
Let us start out on the new journey /
around the sun with new hopes and .
confident that the
power that has transported. us safe
ly over these vast spaces will take
care of our needs and see that they
are supplied

COLD WEATHER DELAYS
STATE HIGHWAY WORK
rComfimgld RON Firm Pa0fl

motive petroleum and other whole
sale, retail and service trades con-
nected with highway transportation,
Out of a total Of 4535 wholesale,
retail and service establishments
that operate in Delaware, 754 or ap-
proximately one-sixth were wholly
dependent on motor transport.
OF the total payroll of $10,232, 900
for all such trades and. services ST.
S97, 900 or 1876 per cent accrued from
automotive, petroleum andd allied
trades.
In proportion to the total volume
of sales of all trades and services,
the trades catering to highway trans
portation provided more jobs and
higher standerds of wages, account
ing to 20 per cent of jobs and 1876
per cent of pay rolls as compared
with 14.2 of sales.
These figures enable us for the
first time to get a clear and accurate
conception of the contribution of the
highway transportation industries to
the economic welfare of the state.
Except for the continued needs of
the motoring public, every sixth
business house or service establish
ment in Delaware would close;
every fifth person employed in the
wholesale, retail, or service trades
would lose his job; AND more than
one-sixth of the business payroll of
the State would dry up instantly.
II is generally the ordinary, mOn-
Otonous patrol work of the State
Police that produces the most sur
prising results and for that reason
the members of the force have
learned long ago never-to miss any
small incident that may happen
along their ride. The capture of an
escaped prisoner, Roy Mitchell, who
while serving a ten-year term. slip
ped away from the sheriff while he
was being taken to his home on
some errand was the direct result
of that careful patrol ride the State
Police take continually over high
ways. with their eyes watching every
passing car, noticing every number
and watchful of any unusual incl
dent. Officer Pusey of Station No.
was riding along Thursday night
when he noticed a car on one side
of the road, and stopped at once to
see if there was any help he could
give the driver who had evidently
found some trouble. Upon asking
he found that the driver was out of
gasoline but was also astonished to
recognize the brother of the man
who had. so recently escaped. and
for whom the police in several
states were looking. He began to
question the young man and decided /
that he had stumbled upon a valu- |
able clue. Taking him to the Police /
Station, he called the State detective /
Oh the telephone. and it was in a
short time they discovered that the
man was the one who had taken the /
prisoner away. A quick /
telephone call to the police in Will
ningtOn where the prisoner had been
aiken brought about his immediate
,arture in a room TO which he had
gone for the night.

HISTORY OF OUR LIVES

On January 1st years! ago, millions
OF people started out annually to
write a history of their lives for
the coming year. Many of them
were melted to do so when they re-
ceived a present of a blank diary.
The sight of all these neat and clean
pages with date for each one slim
ulated them to record their actions
and thoughts.
They considered. it would be a
wonderful thing in the future, to
be able to look back at these VOL
umes, to recall the pleasures of those
old golden days, and reflect over
their struggles and adventures.
The attics of old houses contain
countless old diaries written by par
ents and grandparents. They are
wonderful record of the experiences
of the previous generation. If we
had time to pore over them. we could
get a vivid picture of the past CEN
tury.
People were very reflective in
those days. They had no moving
pictures, no radios. no automobiles,
to occupy their attention. They
spent long time in meditation. and
enjoyed recording their thoughts in
these personal journals. They took
life on the whole with calmer phi
losophy than we now possess.
Our modern folks are too much Oc-
cupied with daily labors and, ex-
citements to spend time writing the
history of their lives. The time
that the elderly lady spent in writ
ing in her journal. is probably used
by her granddaughter in attending
the bridge club.
Countless blankbooks in diary form
are still sold. but apparently people
use them not to report their actions
and thoughts. but to make memo
randa and to note down future en-
So the history of our
past goes largely unrecorded. We
live in the present today. Some
thing is missed when the past thus
drops out of our thought. and we
have no way of bringing it back to
our minds.

JOBLESS GIRLS-YOUR CHANCE

The problem of unemployed. young
women, and older women too, is one
that causes anxiety to the govern
ment. Camps for such people are
suggested as the means by which
many of them could learn things
that would help them get work. It
is a bitter disappointment to a girl
who has trained herself to teach
school or practice stenography. to
find no job waiting for her.
Such ones should take courage. as
young women are constantly getting
married and leaving vacancies for
others to take. But some of them
might we'll take a little spare time
and learn how to roast a joint of
meat and make pie. Countless homes
would be glad of competent house
worker, if they did not have to pay
too much.

THE HOWE TONY IN 1aa:,

What prospects has Milford for
the coming year? Much depends up
on the general recovery of the
country, the crops, and such con-
ditiOns outside our own community.
But much also depends on ourselves,
OIL the amount of effort which we are
disposed to make in promoting the
development of our community.
Even if the country is prosperous,
many towns will lag behind. because
their people are not wide awake,
and are not trying much to improve
their home town conditions. And
during the period when national
prosperity has been below par, many
towns have thrived and prospered,
because their people were inspired
by untiring energy and interest in
the community welfare.

HOLIDAY GREETINGS

Some folks can't see much use in
the millions of post cards that are
sent out to convey the greetings OF
the holiday season. They think that
people receive such a mass of these
printed messages and p.'etty pic
lures that they pay little attention
to any of them, so that the whole
thing represents a waste of money
and effort. Many persons spend
much time over these cards. They
often find themselves fatigued after
the labors of selecting and address,
ing these reminders.
Blu. friendship is precious thing,
and 1t is something that has to be
renewed from time to time. You
can't go off and leave it and never
exercise any CO its activities and
expect it to survive. The years pass
by silently and swiftly, and people
can see that much has dropped out
of their lives. Friends with whom
you once felt a close tie have be-
come mere acquaintances.
The little greeting card is one
means of bringing this chasm. When
you receive one from some friend
who lives far away, it proves that
person has not forgotten you. You
know that in that mind there is still
little corner where memories of
you still live.
1t is a kind of heart warming ex-
perience to look over these souven-
irs. and think of days gone by, and
to feel that these relations left their
behind, and that these
still live.
1t is also an agreeable thing to
send cards to your neighbors and.
friends in your home town. In our
busy days we may see them often,
but we pass them so hurriedly that
he tie often grows thin. The greet
ng card is a suggestion that we
would like it to be considered real
md lasting.

NEW YEAR HOPES

New Year resolutions have be-
come a kind of standard jest. through
which the newspaper paragraphei
and the stage comedian can always
raise a laugh. You are traditional
ly supposed to swear off your bad
habits on January /, and then grad
ually take them on again, usually
long before February l. If some man
takes a solemn resolve at New
Years to abandon that miserable
vice which has held him chained to
his lower self for years, his friends
smile tolerantly, and give him about
two weeks to forget it.
Yet if people amount to much.
they usually cherish definite aims at
the beginning of the year. The busi-
ness man is planning new lines OF
trade. He is determined that the
next II months shall see increased
earnings.
The worker in any organization
sees a new campaign ahead of him.
There must be new plans to attract
the people and pay the bills.
Human nature must look ahead
and plan its work. or it will get lit
tie done. The people for whom 1885
is Just the same as 1884 are in dam
ger of standing still, and while one
is making out his list of new aims,
he is not thoroughly wise unless it
includes some correction of his per-
sonal faults.
1t is a blessed feature of human
nature that we cherish New Year
hopes. We approach the portal of
the new year and. look out into
veiled future. We do not know
whether it will bring Joy or sorrow
personally, or prosperity or disaster
nationally. But normal people all
have hope, and feel that somehow
the new year will bring better
things. And usually when people
expect better things, they come.
Well may we then make the New
Years a jolly occasion. If people
wish to step high on this occasion,
let 'em do so. Only they should not
step so high that they aren't ready
to start in working January with
a cheer of determination.
