By GEORGE M. GREEN

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 19.-The
Virginia General Assembly today
had ready for consideration q
$163, ,0OO, 900 budget-the largest in
it's history.
Described by Governor James
H. Price as the "crux of the seS-
sion," the measure reported out
by the house appropriations COM
mittee includes provision for So
cial security and increased school
expenditures.
The bill reported out late yes
terday was scheduled to be taken
up on the house floor Tuesday.
Delay was occasioned by the Sat
urday jaunt of the legislature to
Fredericksburg as guests of the
city and Sunday visit to Brando,
home of Senator Robert w. Dan.
iel, on the James River.
Before leaving for FrederickS.
burg the house overrode deter
mined opposition and passed the
Sunday beer and wine bill, giving
optional prohibition of alcoholics
to counties, cities and towns.
Meanwhile, another bill prohi.
biting Sunday sports throughout
the State was dropped into the
house till. 1t would ban such
games as football. basketball,
baseball and bowling.
Another house bill offered by
Charles w. Crowder of Richmond,
would authorize a janitor of the
State Library to burn all records
of the prohibition era in Virginia.

Pete has his own tank down

So Pete has got himself a bad

HOPE FOR FLUNKERS

A large part of. the college stu
dents funk on their examinations
and are sent home. One of the heads
of the University College at North
western University has encouraging
words for such students, suggesting
that this unpleasant experience may
lead a failing student to discover
where his abilities may lie, and thus
point the way to his eventual sue
cess.
Thinking sometimes results from
Incidence. The student may have
pursued the girl friend or the foot
ball too ardentIy. Or perhaps he be-
came lost in the unfamiliar world Of
books. If fiunking convinces stu
dent that he must work more and
play less, it will do him good Also
IL it teaches some of them that they
were built to hammer nails or tend
machines rather than put their noses
into books, 1t may save many
later failure in life.

MYSTERIES OF GRASS

The householder trying to make
a nice grassy lawn, or the superin-
tendent or golf links greenkeeper
who must produce lovely turf. will
say that grass is a very queer thing.
1t is hard to understand its whims
and freaks.
Heavy rainfall should make thick
grass. Yet in some sections which
recently had great dOwnpours Of
rain, it is reported that the grass in
some spots was fairly boiled out Of
the ground, and has turned dry. 1t
is claimed that the excess water in
the soil became so hot in the humid
weather that the roots of the grass
were scalded, and when the sun
shone bright the weakened plant
was scorched. Grass often grows
where you don't want it, and re-
fuses to grow where earnestly deslr-
ed. Patient fertilizing and the right
amount of water should make it
grow as a usual thing.
Milford chronicle., 1938-09-16
THE SALEsJOBS CAMPAIGN

Some remarkable results are be-
ing achieved by the national SALES
Mean Jobs" campaign. In some cities
from 5000 to 10000 people have at
tended mass meetings called to pro-
mote this idea. General sales are be-
lieyed to have increased 10 or % per
cent through this movement.
Slow business is due to slow buy
ing. The slow buying is due in part
to unemployment and low purchas-
ing power, but it is also due to
large extent to peoples hesitations
and fears. There are plenty of peO-
bic Who could bury more goods"and
who will need them in the near fu-
ture, but who are hanging onto their
money.
There is plenty of money in the
country, but the money does not
circulate as it should. Fear of the
future is probably the principal rea-
son why it does not circulate. Fears
cause business trouble, as they Gre
ate other kinds of misfortune.
If the people at some kind of pub
lie assembly hear a false cry OF
Fire" and all rush for the door at
The same minute, somebody may get
hurt. This can happen even if there
IS no fire. Similarly if the people in
spending their personal and house
lold money, and business concerns
n planning their operations, are
made excessively cautious by their
ears when there is no reason Tor
such apprehension, the existence OF
his fear will exert a paralyzing Ell
ect on business.
Every time anyone buys some
hing, somebody else is put to work
rhe SALES Mean Jobs" campaign
ihould have enthusiastic support. II
We could have a great movement all
,yer the country to loosen up idle
money, it would put millions of peo-
lie to work. Let US cooperate with
/ here in Delaware.
Milford chronicle., 1938-09-16
THE BUSINESS NEWS

The merchant who makes a sue
cess in business is a keen reader of
the business news. If the styles and
fashions prefer some particular fad
in his line, he knows about it long
before the people of his home city
do, and he stocks up on goods to
meet that desire. If the trade pa
pers say a boom is coming, he
buys more freely and is rewarded
by greater profits.
The buyer for the home must also
study the business news affecting
the things he or she buys. The adj
vertisements published in the Mil
ford Chronicle are the places where
the local business news can be seen.
These columns tell about what the
merchants are doing. they describe
the things they offer for sale, and
tell about the prices for these goods.
ANY home buyer who fails to read
such business news is like the mer-
chant who does not know what is
going on in his trade.

ONLY FRAGMENT LEFT

A scene with many elements OF
pathos was witnessed at Des Moines,
Iowa. when about 200 former mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Re-
public attended their annual en-
campment. The federal govern
ment's army during the War be-
tween the States numbered some q
667 900 men. While only a tiny frag-
ment of this vast army gathers for
a look back to the dim past, nearly
all are sleeping quietly in peaceful
cemeteries.
So it is with the great army that
supported the Confederate cause.
The nation hopes that all bitterness
between these two contending for
ces has faded out, and that in the
heaven above there is no blue nor
gray, but only one uniform of white
zeal to fight the battles of truth in
the army of service for all good
causes.
May the last years of the veterans
of both armies be full of peace and
comfort and honor, is the wish Of
all.

SWALLOWS HOMEMARD Fly

Swallows and other birds are
gathering on wires and elsewhere,
getting ready for their long flight
southwark. Human beings with their
limited perceptions, wonder what
mysterious power guides these fea-
thered creatures over thousands of
miles of space, and brings so many
of them back to the same place.
Some authorities think that birds
have some sense by which they de-
tect the magnetic force of the earth
which gives them constant guide
on their travels. A journey of 5000
miles for that tiny bird is as much
as 10000 would be for man.. Few
human beings could find their way
over such a distance without map or
compass. The little bird brain must
have something that excels the fac
ulties that most of us possess.
Milford chronicle., 1938-09-16
HOODS OF THE DRIYBR

A captain of the Texas highway
patrol finds that the automobile
. driving habits of the people are
! affected by the state of the stock
market. When the market goes up,
he says traffic violations increase,
but. when the market goes down,
people quiet down.
There seems good logic in this
idea. When the stock market goes
up, a host of people feel happy and
confident. Their confidence about
the future of money and business
could easily make them more conf
dent of their ability to do risky
things on the road. cutting in ahead
of traffic on curves, and the many
smart tricks that too many of them
affect.
When the market goes down. the
fear Of what may happen to their
prosperity is likely to lead to fear
of what may happen if they cut too
many corners on the road. No one
likes to see depressed ideas spread
ing, but a little depression in the
minds of reckless drivers would
promote the public health and safety. !
1t may be objected that large
part of the people who drive cars
recklessly are not people who have
any interest in the stock market, but
the influence of the speculative COM
munity reaches farther than we re-
alize. Financial hopes and fears are
as contagious as smiles and laughter.
also as the infection of disease. These
hopes and fears spread through a
vast section of the population, as
the waves Of a river roll from shore
to shore when a large vessel passes.
The good driver tries to so regu-
late his methods that he is not af-
iected by waves of hope and fear.
He tries not to drive over confidently
when he feels happy and sanguine,
and not to be timid and fearful when
things go against him.
Driving methods here in Milford
should not depend on peoples moods.

THE PLATFORM ADOPTED by
the Republican party at its conven-
ton on Wednesday is one that should
appeal to all Delawareans. 1t is ex-
plicit in its wording. 1t means what
it says and if the Legislature is con-
trolled by the Republicans, the pro-
gram therein outlined will be passed.
Possibly the clause in the platform
which will appeal to the largest
number of persons is that applying
to nuisance taxes and fees. The
party pledges itself to wipe out all
license fees on dogs. 1t sponsors a
reduction of automobile license fees
to an amount only necessary for the
issuing of plates and licenses. 1t
advocates the reduction in drivers
licenses. 1t pledges elimination of
the poll, or head, tax and enumerates
other savings which the Republicans
pledge will be made should they con-
troll both the House of Representa-
tiyes and the Senate. All voters
should read carefully the contents of
this platform, which was drafted
only after the most careful cOnsidera-
ton on the part of committee which
worked weeks in preparing it.

Milford, Friday, September 1e, 1888

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY in
Delaware has nominated a well bal
anced state ticket which they are
presenting to the citizens of our state
for favorable consideration at the
November elections. Every candidate
on the ticket is experienced in the
management of business affairs, or
of his profession. No better qualified
man has ever been offered Delaware
voters than is James Morford, candi-
date for attorney-general. He is well
yersed in his profession. has been a
conscientious official in all positions
ever held by him and when elected in
November he will administer his Of
flee with fairness to all concerned.
Pagan SimontOn, candidate for state
treasurer, is a new face in Delaware
politics. In business affairs he has
been successful. He is a young man
who has hosts of friends in Will
mington and northern Delaware.
Benjamin l. Shaw, known to lower
Delawareans as Pete, for the past
ten years has capably guided the des
TIMES of the Kent and Sussex Fair. A
resident of Harrington. he is Kent
cOunty's only candidate on the ticket.
The office of auditor of accounts will
be in experienced and worthy hands
following his election.
Sussex presents two well known
men as its contribution to the ticket |
George S. Williams for Congress
and William j. Swain for insurance
commissioner. Both men are exper-
fenced in the administration of pub
lie affairs. Both are able campaign
ers, and much will be heard from
them as the campaign progresses.
Taken as a whole, the Republican
ticket is one that should merit the
support of all Republicans and at the
same time draw those Democrats,
who are dissatisfied with the present
management of their party.
