sat close beside each other on the
porch steps. Never had the neat,
drab little houses looked palmer or
less Interesting. Tile street in front
of them was rs silent as death. sud
denly everything in Cornelia's pro-
testing nature welIed up in a big
choking sob and she dropped her head
on her knees and wept.
''oh, COMFY, dearest, what is the
matter?' asked Wallingford, drawing
her closer to him. I've known all
along that something was wrong ana
It's breaking my heart your not tell
Ing me what it is
In the half light of the moon his
dark face looked almost tragic as he
leaned over his little sweetheart and
tried yainly to soothe her.

almost commanded. 81 won't leave
until you do II les two o'clock tomor-

Its only that I'm 500 mlserably

Cornelia burst into another fit of
weeping and Jack in his big clumsy
way tried awkwardly to soothe her.
But in that short moment he had
become suddenly selfdeprecatlng. He
felt that he was part of the whole
settling and that she was revolving
against him as well as the town. Ger
talnly he could not measure up to any
New York standards of wealth and
glamor, he who was Just an ambl-

dreams crrmbling in ashes over H.
There was something so Intangible
about the situation, He could not

struck In the dark. His sweetheart
was there IN his arms, yet she was
not really there, for her heart and
mind had wandered AWAY from him

Mexico Restricts.
immigration Of Labor

MEXICO CITY4laJuly 81 {Ry Trens
Agency)A Restrictiers on the immi-
grafton into Mexico of laborers from
near eastern countries have been i'm
posed by a decree of President
Gales. The restrictions became ef-
fective during the last quarter OF
this year and for two years there
after. The decree says:
First-Beginning with the last
quarter of the present year and dur
ing the two years 1928-1929, the ad-
mission of immigrant laborers OF
Syrian, Lybanese, Armenian, Pales-
tine, Arabia and Turkey is suspend.
ed, it being considered that the per-
sons fulfill the above qualifications
who, on their arrival at this country
do not posses ten thousand pesos as
a minimum capital.
Second-There are exempted from
the, above restrictions:
a. Husbands and wives OF persons
who have immigrated legally;
b. The parents and descendants
of persons who have imnigrated
legally, also provided they have an
honest means of livelihood and COM
Portable living.
Third-During the period referred
to in the first part of this disposi-
ton, Mexican consuls will obstain
from visaeing passports and issu-
ing identity cards for individuals af-
fected by the same.
This action was taken after the
department Of the state had made
survey of the immigration situa-
ton and had found that immigrants
of these nationalities did not in ef-
feet become laborers but street
venders, peddserS and other similar
professions and remained in the cit
les. The restrictions were there
fore considered necessary, tempor'
arily, at least.

league for human rights, an interna-
tional pacifist organization. The league
feels that if Frenchmen and Ger
mans of the generation now growing
up learn to- know each better, the
talk about the traditional Franco
German enmity' will be bound to
die out.
Both the German and the French
governments showed their sympathy
for the scheme by granting free visas
and greatly reduced railway fares.
Teachers accompanied the students
as far as Paris, where the German
embassy took them in charge and
saw to it that they reached their

ON MONDAY EVENING

The Fifth Annual production of the

ever and a rare treat is in store for
Milford folks. An elaborate setting VIII
adorn the stage and form a background
for the gorgeous costumes of the actors.
No expense has been spared to make
this show a success and a varied pro-
gram of ministrelsy and variety will be
presented. There are several sketches
cleyerly presented in the after part and
the grand finale will be Professor Her
bert's trained dogs direct from the
Keith circuit. The personnel of the
show remains about the same as in
previous years with T. Carlisle Collins
in the chief role as interlocutor. All
agree that Dick cannot be beaten as
middle man. The ends will be ably
taken care of by Thad Windsor, Jack
Mayhew, William Denney, Dick Mason,
Bud Atkins and Frank Barsby, while
the circle will include such well known
favorites as the Suscodela quartet, Ed.

a dozen others. A large percentage of
the proceeds will be given to the Ath-
letic Association of the Milford High
School and tickets for the show can be

gagged to furnish the music and some of
the latest hits on Broadway will be
featured.

MILLER BROTHERS ENJOY
27 YEARS OF BUSINESS

Miller Brothers, Wilmington's large
furniture house, are celebrating their
Twenty Seventh Anniversary, and Ma
than Miller, President of the Company,
is receiving congratulations this week
from prominent business heads in all
parts of the State. The business was
founded in 1900 by Nathan Miller and
his brother, who later sold his interest
to Nathan. From the start the business
prospered until today Miller Brothers is
recognized as one of the leading furni-
ture firms in the east. Always pro-
gressive, the company has taken lead
in matters of civic interest and have
done their part to aid in the building of
Wilmington and Delaware. In a full
page advertisement which appeared in
the newspapers of Wilmington last
Thursday, and headed ITO You Will
mington, Our City. We Pay Tribute"
Miller Brothers very beautifully ex-
planned their policy of fair dealing and
paid tribute to the citizens of Della
ware for their support during the twen-
ty-seven years of the firms existence.
Much of the success of the company is
attributed to the newspaper advertising
which they consistently use, and which
at very frequent intervals appear in the
columns of the Milford Chronicle. The
Chronicle felicitates Nathan Miller and
his co-workers upon the completion of
twenty-seven years of service to Will
mington and Delaware.

Many growers SOW either wheat or
rye with the scarlet clover and this
combination makes a very valuable
food for all kinds of stock. Even
hairy vetch and rye is combined to
get a hay food that is valuable for
those who grow stock, or feed cows
for milk. Kent and Sussex counties
have so far harvested fine crops of
scarlet clover for hay. That part of
the crop which is saved for the seed,
is ripened in the field and will not
be cut for ten days or more.
