IF THE MOTHERS of Milford will visit the
public schools this afternoon and inspect the
display of the work accomplished in the first
month of the domestic science class, they will
more fully appreciate the necessity for their own
cooperation with the work of the schools It is
useless to invite or expect the fathers of pupils
to visit the schools-for they ignore all requests
to take an active interest in the education of
their children by encouraging the child with
their occasional presence at the school. When
some infringement of the school rules or mis-
conduct on the part of their child requires that
discipline from the superintendent or those di-
recting the school activities be enforced, then it
may be possible to get that irate father out to
find out why his wonderfully bright or mischiev
ious offspring is being harrassed in his effort to
get an education; but it is seldom or never that
the male specie enters the portals of the school
building. However, if the parents, including the
fathers, especially, will manifest sufficient inter
est to visit the schools this afternoon, they will
be repaid for their time, by learning just what
the work of domestic science is doing for their
children.

THIS MONTH is THE period when county
taxes must be paid, or penalties will be imposed
which will add to the sum of the tax bill for
the current year. In Kent county the Receiver
of Taxes has arranged for additional sittings in

those who have not yet paid their tax, can do so
with the least loss of time or inconvenience.
Next Tuesday, September SOth, the Receiver will
sit in Milford to accommodate the people of the
tenth district. Unless the tax is paid at that
time, the penalty will be imposed, as that is the
very last date it is possible to pay the face of

When business and work have been

And smashed to the very last root,
When all the banks have been plum

And everyone's shared in the loot,
We shall pause-when our last cent
is squandered-
And say, with a. sad, hungry sob:

system
Now, I wonder who'll give us a
job?"

MANY PEOPLE IN LOWER DELAWARE are
familiar with the large business places in the
City of Wilmington, and recognize that city as a
place where they can get the better grades of
merchandise, which may not be carried in the
local stores of the smaller towns of the Delmar-
via Peninsula. This condition has grown al
most exclusively within the past five years and
is growing with each passing season. Our fine
concrete highways, open every day in the year
for travel by automobiles, and the comparatively
brief time required to go and come from dis
tance of more than one hundred miles, affords
the opportunity for hundreds of people to make
a pleasant trip through Delaware to Whining
ton, for days outing and shopping Some of
the larger stores of Wilmington have been reach
ing out for this trade and they have found re-
suits, with growing prospects for the future, es"
pecially the holiday season. During the past
summer one of the well-known stores Of Will
mington has been rebuilt and greatly improved,
so that beautiful display and of large proper
tions can be made of really interesting stock
of all kinds of goods used in homes. In another
part of this paper appears this week full page
advertisement of the store of Miller Brothers,
which shows a picture of the remodelled store
and their announcement to the people who have
become acquainted Wltn LneIn III Iue paSt' etS WeAA
as to those whom they hope to make their
friends and customers in the future. The Miller
Brothers store in Wilmington is well worth
visit 1t is not the purpose Of the Chronicle to
detract from the local store clientel of lower
Delaware, or in any way discourage dealing at
home; but, there is always something just lit
tie different that some of the people want and
can not be obtained from the local store stock,
which they can get from the stores in the City
of Wilmington. There are a score of excellent
stores in that city and several Of them reach
ing out after the DelmarVia Peninsula trade by
advertising in the local papers Of this prosperous
and attractive section, which has been opened
I'D to them by the beautiful and all-the-year-
around highways we have built for the use of
all the people. Business is a race open for all
who care to enter and make the effort to get and
hold the trade of a great and prosperous sec
