FIFTH ANNUAL MARKET
WEEK AT LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles, July 21.-The
eyes of the western mercantile
world will be focused on Los Ang-
eles from August Is to 16 when
the apparel manufacturers and
wholesale dry goods dealers of
this city stage their Fifth An
nual Market Week, according to
plans which are already under
way.
The purpose Of Market Week is
to convince the retail buyers of
the western states that Los Ang-
eles and the southland stands as d
marketing center able to compete
in price and quality with the marts
of the eastern and middle western
centers.
A recent survey made by the
Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce revesAs that much of the
ordering goes to establishments
in the Atlantic and middle western
states whereby thousands of dol
lars are diverted from this local
ity.
AS an inducement to retail buy
ers throughout the west to attend
the event low rail fares are being
arranged which will dwindle to
complete fare refunds for those
purchasing during the Market
Week.
A special program of entertain
ment embracing everything that
Los Angeles has to offer in the
way Of amusement is now being
outlined by the entertainment
committee. The concluding feat
ure of the program will be grand
ball, banquet and military style
show to be held at the Biltmore
Hotel.
Fully 10000 buyers and their
families from eleven western
states are expected to attend the
event.

TRY MILFORD FIRST" should
be the slogan of every citizen who
wants to see this town progress.
It is the community spirit that
brings the citizenship closer to-
gether and eliminates the lines
drawn by cliques. To accomplish
anything for the good of the COM
munity a sentiment in favor of the
proposed project must be created
and it is easy to create this senti-
ment if the proper community spirit
prevails.
The main object of this life should
be to make a better place in which
to live but this cannot be accom-
plished with a citizenship pulling in
different directions. The lesser dif-
ferences should be forgotten when
project is put forth whereby the en-
tire community will prosper and be
benefited. If every citizen of the
community would get together and
eliminate minor prejudices, work
with but one object in view and that
TO make Milford the best town in
the state in which to live, the things
accomplished would form a monu-
ment to the present generation that
would live through the ages and be
an inspiration for future genera
tions to continue the good work.

TOWNSPEOPLE HONOR
REV. H. |. BUNSTEIN
Continued from page u

| (cOntlnued from page u
from Rev. L. d. Bowen, who was a
predecessor of Rev. Bunstein, sixty
years ago:
LONG ON HIS JOB
By Dr. L. P. Bowen
Years of Service, Forty and Seven,
Nearer every year to Heaven,
Prophet speaking for his Lord
Pulpit faithful to the Word,
Bringing forth old things and new,
Preached the Bible through and
through;
The Gospel ever held supreme,
Jesus Christ the constant Theme
For Seven and Forty Years he's
stood,
A Witness-Bearer for his God.
How sweet the ties that interlock,
The loyal Shepherd to his flock,
While all along the Frightening
years,
He shares their joys and shares
their tears,
With them in gladness and in gloom,
And with the Bride and with the
Groom;
Through rising and through setting
suns,
Baptising all their little ones,
In seasons when the roses bloom,
And by the death-bed and the tomb.
Since first he started on his way,
How many vacant pews today;
All yes, how large the group that
waits
His coming at the Pearly Gates.
From olden days since he begun,
His Predecessors have passed on,
All now upon the Eternal Shore,
Save one alone at Ninety-FOur,
Who fingers still, his only Mate,
Our Bunstein to congratulate,
And Bowens members all on high,
And waiting for us in the sky,
The Halls and others of their day,
Who planted we'll and passed away
No nobler souls, though wide you
search,
Than Founders of the Milford
Church.
Then Bunstein came, some younger
then,
And his long Passionate began,
To labor on and pray and stay,
The Ideal Presbyterian way,
Following generations down,
Identified with all the Town,
The Gospel torch not growing dim,
All Churches claiming part in him.
And now the Lad of Ninety-FOur,
His generation gone before,
Whose lot with your young Church
was cast,
Full sixty years back in the past,
l centre on the coming years
My Benedictions and my Prayers,
That Bunsteins hOnOrs still may
rise,
Till he's promoted to the skies.
Hail Milford, kind, hospitahle,
In situation beautiful,
The ponds that gladden. week by
week,
The cedar walks along thy Greek;
The Temples ripe with piety
For Iightburn and McKim and me;
The Graveyards blest and hallowed
ground,
All waiting for the trumpet's sound;
The affairs full of blessedness,
All fragrant with the promises;
Fair Milford, may thy Pulpits stand
Erect on Canaan's Borderland. /

OUR wASHINGTUN LETTER
(From National Editorial Association)
Especial to Chronicle)

/ Especial to ChronicleJ
Washington, D. c., Feb. 8. The
stock exchanges of the country are
not the only places where heavy
trading may be found these days. In
the cloak rooms and on the floor of
the Senate and House the we'll
known game of bartering is openly
played. The Sixty-ninth Congress
will automatically expire on March
4, and political trading is highly es-
sential. The legislative jam at pre-
sent has reached such proportions
that no one can predict with any de-
gree of certainty as to the final out
come. 1t is believed that many i'm
portant legislative measures which
the country expected would be writ
ten into the statutes will never reach
a vote.
AS this session draws to close
those interested in pending legisla-
ton have sufficient grounds for con-
Germ. Of the eleven appropriation
bills necessary for the maintenance
of the Federal government only
three have been written into law.
The House has one or two measures
to whip into shape, but there is lit
tie controversy at that end of the
Capitol. The Senate Finance Conf
mittee is holding sessions daily for
the purpose of reporting similar
measures to the Senate. Unless these
bills are passed by March the Pre-
sident will be obliged to call an eX-
ira session of Congress. There ale
certain groups having this situation
in mind and are doing their best 10
a legislative snarl.
Perhaps the busiest man in Wash
ington today is the Chinese Ambas-
sador. Mr.. SEE, educated in Ameri-
can colleges and a close student of
public opinion in America, is con-
stantly in conference with the Sec
retary of State, and watching close
ly the mobilization of naval forces
in Chinese waters. The Chinese
trouble has temporarily side--track-
ed the Mexican controversy in Off
cial Washington. There has been
some sporadic debate in Congress
and some statements issued by the
Administration, but it has lost its
place as a principal topic of CONVEX
sation.
The Senate has eight appropria-
ton bills still to be considered. The
Senate Finance Committee has been
working on the alien property bill,
but the proposed Senate bill is not
acceptable to the German nationals.
The milk importation bill provoked
considerable discussion during the
week. The Southwest and West
Senators are considerably agltated
over the Boulder Dam bill and
charges and counter-charges are
freely passed. The postal rate bill,
which the publishers of the country
and other mail users have endeavor-
ed to bring out of Congress for eight
years, may be submerged in the
unless a vote can be reach
ed.
The radio legislation, which, for
time, threatened to uncover political
scandals, has been debated at length
any bomb shells of a politi-
cal nature exploding in the Senate
Of House. The Muscle Shoals issue
is again before committees, but
stands little chance of settlement at
this session.

IT is A WELL-KNOWN FACT
that the local boards of health as
named by the various towns in all
parts of Delaware, fail to function
in even the most simple emergen-
cies, or in cases involving preserya-
ton of health conditions. This has
been true for many years and should
have been corrected long ago for
the welfare of all the people. In the
present session of the legislature,
there is a bill with the purpose of
correcting this short coming in
health conditions, by creating
Health Physicians for the three
counties. These will be doctors of
ability and strength of character, to
look after all contagious cases of
disease, as well as the elimination
of sources for disease breeding
spots, which might injure public
health of citizens in both rural and
urban sections of the counties OF
Delaware. These physicians would
be directly under the supervision OF
the State Board of Health, and
would be compelled to make in
spections and reports each week, or
daily if necessary VT -44'iifis is ar i'm
portant bill and should be enacted
into law for the general welfare OF
the people, by protection from dis
ease of a contagious nature, and
control in case of epidemics.

VALENTINES DAY February 14th
is not what it once was. One does
not have to be decrepit to remember
when every drug store was full OF
paper-lace, hearts pierced by ar
rows, and verses on the general
theme that no matter what point OF
the compass might be indicated,
some anonymous you" were the be-
loved. 1t is not so nowadays. The
swain who wants to send a valen-
tine to his sweetie must either hunt
long for place which purveys such
things, or roll his own.
Probably the real reason for the
lack of formal valentines Of lace and
tinsel lies in the fact that the girls
nowadays demand something less
symbolic and considerably more ex-
pensive. They can't eat or wear pa
per hearts. With the coming of the
new order, another feature of the
old has almost disappeared-the So
called comic valentine, by which one
could with impunity insult ones
foes. Thus the world has forfeited
an excellent way of getting back at
traffic officers, school teachers, edi-
tors and other people. And it is not
because old st. Valentine himself did
not approve of the custom, for the
learned say that he had nothing to
do with the custom that features his
holiday.

ALREADY there are many signs
of approaching spring, although Of
ficially it is not due to arrive until
March 21.
Spring is the season Of reincarna-
ton, rejuvenation and radiant life.
1t is only to man that January 1 re-
presents the birth of new year and
the calendar year is an artificial
i structure. With plant life and that
Of the lower animals the coming Gf
spring is at once the birth of lew
year and new life.
Humanity recognizes and speaks
of a new year as from January ]
but nevertheless observes it from
the first breath of spring. After the
departure Of the drear and stirling
winter and with the coming Of re-
freshing and magnetic spring there
is new life and new hope created in
the breasts Of men and women.
Spring brings great plans and high
resolves which only winter can de-
molish or deter.
It is not sufficient to say that the
boning instinct is convenient in the
spring. It is natural and not to be
qainsaid by man or beast. Spring
urges the bird to build its nest, the
animal to burrow into its mother
earth and man to plan his home, but
neither bird, beast nor man knows
nor asks why. Spring is the one
and only irresistible force.
