ITS BENEFITS UNIVERSAL

Many people have not learned to
look upon advertising in the light
of the realistic rhymester of an
olden time who penned this famous
verse on advertising:
Go forth in haste, with bills and
paste
Proclaim, to all creation,
That men are wise who advertise
In every generation.
In large part the public regards
advertising as being of possible ad-
vantage to the advertiser for which
the consumer pays, and yet the
facts prove otherwise. Time and
again has it been shown that well
judged, properly conducted and per-
sistent advertising insures to the
benefit not only of the person who
attracts attention to his wares in
this manner, but also of the COM
munity.
After interviewing large numbers
of distributors as to the economic
effects of advertising, a committee
of the national distribution confer
ence reports:
Broadly speaking, it would seem
that where the advertising creates
an increased demand for products
of a certain class, a wider distribu-
ton Of such products-in other
words, makes new business, bring
ing about lessened distribution
costs and lessened production costs
owing to increased demand-there
can be no doubt as to the value of
such advertising, not merely to the
that pay for it but also
o the public that consumes the
goods"
"Bills and paste" have given way
@ newspaper and magazines and
hose "who advertise" are not only
wise but altruistic and philanthrop-
C, for by helping themselves they
re helping others.

A WE'LL FINISHED LAWN

One of the absolute essentials to
nice home place is a smooth and
well cared for lawn. Thick and
nicely trimmed grass makes a kind
Of silky decoration to your place
that gives it a final touch of finish
and beauty. You may or may not
have many flowers, but if that lawn
of yours is well seeded, and if you
have nursed your grass along to

important things toward taking
your share of town improvement.

TO THE crowded urban dwellers
of a great city, a flower garden is
a quite wonderful thing. Many of
them wish they could have just a
teeny bit of space where they could
raise some of the old favorites.
They would be happy if they lived
in good home town like Milford,
where about everyone has room for
flower cultivation. We don't fully
realize our blessings.

CUPID'S BUSY MONTH

June brings a flutter in many
circles, where prospective brides
and bridegrooms are on the verge
of exciting events. Newspaper re-
porters are hard put to it to find
any new adjectives adequate to de-
scribe these splendiferous wedding
affairs.
The women folks invariably bring
home the report that the ceremony
was the most beautiful ever, and the
bride was most charming. The
bridegroom, if he gets mentioned at
all, is called very manly and dis
tinguished. 1t is not surprising
that the guests are thus impressed,
as the most ordinary looking girl is
so dolled up with her fine feathers
that she looks like Venus.
Such an event means that the
fruitions of life are being reached.
If the choice has been we'll made,
the young people can feel very
proud and happy that they have
found some congenial and worthy
mate, and that they have secured
the companionship that every nor
NAL person needs.
Nature contributes her loveliness
in the form of floral decoration,
music brings her tribute with in
spring strains of familiar wedding
music. Literature and religion
bring their contribution in the form
of noble marriage service of
classic beauty. The art Of dress
makers and tailors comes in to
make the spectacle a picture of dig
nifty and beauty.
People should not be so charmed
by this setting of external beauty,
that they fail to recognize the true
of the occasion, that it is
4 lifelong pledge of affection, 10y
atty, and mutual service, calling
ior sacrifice and devotion. Here in
Delaware and Milford in particular,
we all give our heartiest best
wishes to those who enter this new
citation, and hope that they take
rery seriously the vows they are
making.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS

Some old time merchants used to
cut down their advertising in sum-
mer, because they thought people
would not buy then. The modern
successful store very often increas-
es its advertising then to keep trade
running on an even level.
The fault finding habit is a
good one, when it leads us to see
the faults in our own doings and
our own homes, and set out to rem
edy them.
What most of our towns need is
more action and less faction.
Se@
WHEN RIVAL concerns in a
town compete jealously and bitter
ly, they drive away trade; when
they unite to make the town a bet
ter business center, they draw it in.

POLITICAL CLUBS

Congressman James M. Beck, of
Pennsylvania, spoke in recent ad-
dress of how formerly the men
Joined political clubs very general
ly. He thought there must once
have been 10000 of such clubs in
this country, but now he doubted
if there are 1000. He noted that the
men are more interested in base
ball and golf, and many will not
take the time to vote.
These political clubs were once
a great power. The men enjoyed
getting together with those of their
own point of view, and hearing
good talk on politics. Political ar
gument was favorite indoor sport.
The men all had their views which
they liked to express. The rooms
Of these organizations were centers
of influence that vastly affected the
life Of the country.
There the young men gathered to
learn the precepts of their political
faith. They formed marching bat
talions, and for weeks previous to
a presidential election the floor
would resound with the thud-thud
of their martial tramp. They be-
came very enthusiastic for their
political convictions, and would do
a lot of work without pay to put |
over a favorite candidate.
The people now are interested in
politics up to certain extent. They
realize that if conditions go all
wrong, it will hurt them in many
ways. So if politics gets too bad,
hey rise up and smite the offenders
| mighty wallop, which is useful.
But if things g0 along just "fair to
niddlin' they are much more ex-
,ited about sports or business.
It would do a world of good here
n Delaware and the country gener-
lily, if again we could have those
$1,000 political clubs. The young
nen can't be persuaded to join such ;
by telling them they {
ught to. But some day they will
iscover that time spent in working l
Or good government brings big div t
lends of community improvement.

KNOWING YOUR OWN STATE

Ohio has just celebrated a "Know
Ohio Week. The same idea has
been promoted elsewhere. The gov
ernor of Ohio said that to know
ones own state is patriotic duty. It
would make for better citizenship.
A great many people will spend
thousands of dollars and cover dis
tances in foreign countries, when
they have no conception of the
things their own state is doing in
the world. Many of us here in Della
ware have travelled far and wife
up and down the world, and we
know more about Europe than we
do about our own commonwealth.
Many of us have never seen
charming beauty spots and natural
wonders in our own state which are
worth attention from people all
over the world. They do not akuow
what our industrial captains and
our community workers have done
in the business and civic fields.
We need more civic enthusiasm in
most of our cities and towrs. The
way to get it is to make people
familiar with what has been done in
the past in these communities.
When they see fine institutions,
great humanitarian achievement,
successful industries, expanding
business, they begin to realize what
a wonderful commonwealth thy
have.
The idea comes to them that
very precious has been
handed on to them and that they
must keep it up. Also that their
state is one of unlimited CONNER
cial opportunity, and that by til.
right spirit of enterprise, that
can be carried on to
higher levels and reach results far
above present expectations. Out of
such knowledge enthusiasm and re-
solve grow, and people love their
better and are more
disposed to take hold and work for
It's development.

YOUR TOWN AND YOU

Your town boosts you. Why not
do as we'll by the town as it does by
you? No citizen is so powerful,
none so humble, but what the town
is an aid to him in some way or
other.
The food that he eats, the clothes
he wears, the recreation and amuse-
ment that he enjoys, all originate
in the town, because the money
with which they are procured is
made there.
When a fellow boosts his own
town he does not stop there. He is
performing an act that improves
his own condition, for every good
word and every good deed has its
elevating influence.
A few people are always home
town boosters. They accomplish
much in the way of community bet
terment, and this improves the con-
dition of not only themselves, but
also of those who do no boosting
at all.
If every citizen would constitute
himself home town booster the re-
suit collectively would be many
times as great, and opportunities
for self improvement would be
more numerous.
Think it over in your odd mo-
ments. Then get into the boost |
wagon and hit the pace.

ADYENTURE

"When 1 hear a man tell of wor-
derful adventures I do not believe
him, my own life has been so com
monplace," says E. w. Howe
Here is a man in his seventies
condemning life for being humdrum
and monotonous. The editor of

In every walk Of life there are
men and women finding life too
commonplace to be interesting.
They are not entirely tired Of life
but are extremely bored. They
work, eat, sleep and attend social
function or a lodge meeting now
and then and hope for the great adj
venture which never comes.
What Howe and others like hi,0
are pitying themselves for lackire.
others are extracting out of the
commonplace things of life. The
inventor, the scholar, the business
man and other workers make their
work an adventure by putting ro-
nance and imagination in it. Max
ing a success out of life is excite

A THIRD PARTY

Usually at every presidential cleo
ton, some element tries to start a
third party which shall put either
the Republican or Democratic party
out of business. The Republican
party did that thing to the old Whig
party in 1860, but the trick has not
been successfully pulled off since
that time.
The American people like to vote
for someone who has a chance of
winning, so they do not usually
take to third parties. Those who
think the old parties are no good,
will have just as good a chance to
improve them and make them re-
sponsive to new ideas, as to get
their principles recognized through
an entirely new organization, which
it would take many years to build

PROSPERITY

1t is a difficult thing for a man
to sell goods unless he is we'll
dressed. If he appears shabby, it
looks as if he was unsuccessful,
and people hesitate to buy goods of
him.
1t is much the same in regard to
the physical appearance of a bust

are attractive and we'll kept, the eff
