GOT LEAPING DOG
IN SPOKANE POUND

That the fortunes of dogs may be
as variable in their ups and downs
as those of people is evidenced in
the return of Buster" the hand
some big white Pomeain, who is the
star among Herberts leaping dogs.
Buster is one of the smartest
dogs 1 ever had," Mr.. Herbert de-
clares, "and I got him in Spokane,
Washington, at the city pound six
years ago for less than 81. Certain
ly he gave no evidence of being a
thoroughbred at that time, for he
was so sick and dirty that it took
three months, constant doctoring to
give him a semblance of his present
appearance.
"The little fox terrier who does
the loop-the-loop' trick 1 found in
a pound at Portland, Oregon. 'Dink,
the first high diving dog, belonged
to me, and he proved such strong
drawing card that, in the early days
of the San Francisco Orpheum the
manager there once insisted on the
dogs putting his mark on the salary
voucher and receiving the envelope,
for he said he certainly earned it."
Mr. Herbert will bring his dogs
to Milford, and appear at the Plaza
Theatre for two days, Commencing
Friday, June oath, with a special
matinee for children on Saturday.

GOOD ROADS DEPEND ON
MODERN BUILDING METHODS

Do not grumble at the "detour'
signs. They are unavoidable when
roads are being improved. But what
does little inconvenience amount
to in comparison with the permanent
advantages which a good road as
sures?
Twenty years ago a detour sign
was unknown. Men worked slowly
with picks and shovels, wheelbar-
rows and horse drawn dump wagons.
There was seldom enough road torn
up at one time to prevent traffic from
going right through where the work
was being done.
But, today, it is often necessary TO
have miles of road under construc-
ton at one time, in order to furnish
sufficient work for the Caterpillar
tractors and steam shovels which
move a wagonload of dirt where a
laborer used to move a shovelful.
With such equipment, it is cheaper
for a county or a state to build good
roads than it used to be 10 maintain
what would be considered today as
merely cow trails. Coupled with
scientific methods of road grading,
which can only be accomplished
with modern machinery. have been
developed standard methods OF hard
surfacing.
In a recen- issue Of The Survey
Cr" published in LUn Ion, England,
British engineers acknowledged in
debtedness to Americans who sue
cessfully pioneered the use of as
phalt as surfacing for a cement !
road base.
The article predicts the substitu-
lion of bituminous concrete for hy-
lraulic concrete, claiming that this
form of construction will prolong
he life of the asphalt road, in ad-
lition to speeding up the completion
If the large amount of resurfacing
work demanded by the development
If modern motor traffic.
In recent years extensive develop
nents have been made in the use of
)ther than hard broken rock as solid
for asphaltic foundations,
With the result that at the present
line clinker, furnace ash, colliery
refuse, broken concrete, Stag, ETC..
Ire employed with success.

that flood relief would be side-track-
ed. The appropriation bills usually
take up about two months of the
session. Tax reduction, and senator
ial eligibility contests must be set
tied before the Presidential conven-
tions in June of 1928 and time is
short.
The politicians feel that Mr.. Cool
idge will have time to study farm re-
lief plans this summer while So
journing in the farm section. With
a view of influencing his sentiments
on these measures, it is said that
leaders of various agricultural
groups are planning conferences in
the Black Hills. Mr.. Coolidge has
let it be known that he will appre-
ciate privacy during his stay there.
Visitors will be referred to Mr.. Ev-
erett Sanders, the Secretary to the
President, and the political contact
man of the White House. They say
that the President is not at all dis
turbed as organized farmers en-
dorse various candidates for the Re-
publican Presidential nomination
who are friendly to their legislative
program. He refuses to be stamped
ed even as the political scouts report
dissatisfaction among the farmers.
In some quarters, it is said that the
President is side-stepping efforts of
legislators to place the responsible
ity for farm conditions on the exec
utive branch when the fault rests
with the legislative group.
The renewed interest in aviation
will be reflected in the budgets of
the Army and Navy this fall. 1t is
said that revisions of departmental
estimates calling for increased ap-
preparations are now under consid-
Grafton and will be ready for Con-
gressional committees which meet
in September. The controversy over
a special department for aviation
has been revived in the American
Legion and will find its way to the
Senate and House at the next ses-
sion. There is no question about the
effect of the Lindbergh and Cham
berlain flights in official circles.

William Buell., aged 67, was found
day afternoon, at 4.30. He lived
near the baseball park in Milford
and was well known nurseryman.
1t is thought his death was due to
an acute attack of Indigestion, from
which he had been suffering for
some time. He was found by a
customer who went to buy some
cabbage plants, and who not find
ing him in the house, went out into
the yard to look for him.
Rev. H. L. Bunstein delivered a
splendid Baccalaurate sermon to
the graduates of Milford High
School on last Sunday. Taking as
his text God is Love-, manifested
by God sending His only Son into
the world to bestow gifts upon man.
Rev. Mr.. Bunstein showed how the
only worth while theme in life is
service. 1t was a forceful message.
especially appropriate to the oc-
casion, and should be remembered
by each member of the class.
Mrs. J. Lynn Pratt entertained at
bridge in honor of her son, Gene L.
Pratt, on last Saturday evening.
Theguests were: Mrs. Anna V. Car
Isle, Miss Elizabeth Carlisle, Mrs.
Donnel Marshall, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
win Messick, Misses Sara Grier,
Shirley Mullen of Toronto Canada,
Anne Grier, Margret L. Grier, Betty

Have they taken to the automo-
bile? With their instinct for wan
dering, they may have seen that the
great state and national systems of
highways offer them the best oppor-
tunities. They depend on the good
will of the autoist to get a lift" and
on the long stretches, away from
the populous districts, they are gen
orally successful.
The spread of this habit of accept
ing or soliciting rides is an imposi-
ton on the good nature of auto own
ers. Their real object, of course, is
to save car fare home. The whole
thing amounts to a petty hold-up and
should be stopped. The hobo's way of
stealing a ride does not differ so
much after all from the more up-to-
date method of begging a ride.
Se@
THEORETICALLY, the perfect tax
would be a tax ON inaction.
The proper man to tax would be
the loafer, not the worker; idle
land, not used land; inactive capital,
not active capital; lack of enter
prise, not enterprise.
Such tax would not be practical,
but it would be just tax.
Our present taxes are based on an
opposite theory.
We tax thrift, action, capital, en-
terprise.
We levy taxes in proportion to
ability to pay, which means that the
harder a man works the more we
tax him; the more thrifty he be-
comes, the more we soak him; the
more efficient he grows, the more we
shake him down.
If save my money and buy a
house 1 am taxed; if I waste my
money in extravagant living, I am
not taxed.
None of our taxes is designed to
encourage production by the simple
process of discouraging idleness,
shiftlessness, ineficiency.
The devil himself could not do a
neater job of hobbling the human
race.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, JUNE It. 1927

ALL REGIONS, and especially
those which contain many summer
resorts and which are endeaVorlns
IN encourage transient trade to come
to the towns, find courteous treat
ment of automobile tourists thing
that pays substantial dividends.
Those communities that specialize IN
the old type of country squire ana
blustering police, who counts that
day lost whose descending sun talls
to bear record of visiting automooll-
lists who have been arrested, insult
ed and assessed an inordinate hne
for some trifling infraction OF the
local laws say the penalty is being
Stunned as far as possible by motor
tourists. Milford doesn't want to be-
long to this latter class, and the ac-
ton of Milford Town Council, act
ing in conjunction with the Mlltoru
Rotary Club to welcome visiting au-
tomobilists is pleasing. The Rotary
Club recently offered to provide red
tags on which a welcome to visiting
automobilists is printed, so that the
police of the town may tag all cars
the drivers of which have violated
the traffic regulations of the town.
The tags will explain our efforts TO
make Milford safe for everybody and
ask the cooperation of the automo-
bilist while our guest. On the re-
verse side of the tag will be listed
the things which make Milford at
tractiye and a worth while place IN
which to live. This action of Town
Council and the Rotary Club will go
far toward advertising the town as
a place in which true Delaware hos
pitality is extended to the stranger,
as is attested by the following:
An autoist who recently completed
a trans-continental journey said that
the incident that was most pleasant
to remember occurred in Salt Lake
City. Returning to his car his heart
sank to find a yellow card on the
steering wheel. Thinking to find
summons for some infraction of the
parking or traffic laws, he was sur
prised and pleased to read the fol-
lowing cordial message:
"Salt Lake City welcomes you
Park where you like and as long
as you like. If anyone molests
you call the police"
Needless to say this motorist will
always have soft spot in his heart
for Salt Lake City. 1t was a good
example of courteous and well chcs-
en- municipal advertising, designed
to put the inoffensive wayfarer on
good terms with the city at once.
Milford chronicle., 1927-06-17

THE RURAL PRESS is arriving
at the era of stability; and also that
the future holds promise of fewer
better and stronger country papers,
The publisher who adapts himself
to changing conditions, is the pub
Usher who is a publisher first and a
printer second. In rural Delaware
there is urgent need for an awaken
ing by a great percentage of those
who are directing many of the week
ly papers. They are not perform
ing the duties of either editors or
publishers; but permit employees to
fill the columns of their papers with
questionable advertising, false ru-
mors stated as facts and sensational
articles for the people to absorb as
news of their local territory. These
men and women have no idea as to
the cost of production of a paper.
Such management of weekly papers
permit any kind of advertising to
creep into the columns of papers
under it's control, while their rates
are almost nothing so as to get the
space filled; that their employees
may close the work and wait for
pay day. 1t is that kind Of weekly
paper management, that is going in
to the discard and the sooner it is
gone, the better it will be for the
publishing of weekly newspapers on
practical business basis.
The publisher of today must de-
vote most of his time to the front
office, and editorial duties, instead
of the back shop and the details of
mechanical work. He must impress
upon his community the value of his
newspaper and sell it to the COM
munity on merit rather than on an
appeal to support the hometown
paper" He must recognize the fact
that modern newspaper readers
want more than just the average
budget of news items each week and
he, by this policy, builds and holds
his circulation by giving them the
feature material which will satisfy
their desire for more than just the
news. He must sell more than just
white space" to his advertisers;
with that space he sells merchandis-
ing service that will help merchant
and tradesman dispose of their COM
modities and extend the trading rad
ius of their town. He must recognize
the fact that the newspaper is bus
mess enterprise as well as COM
institution and apply sound
business methods to the conduct of
it.
1t is the publisher who does these
things who has least to fear from
the modern trend in the country
field, and one value of the
study is to emphasize again the i'm
portance of every publisher making
an inventory in his own mind of
himself and his newspaper and ask
ing himself whether or not his news
paper will stand the test which the
modern conditions will impose.
