MILFORD. FRIDAY, DEC. 7, 1928

CONTINUED ILLNESS of Cole
man du Pont has deprived the Statt
of Delaware and the United States
of the services of an able organizer
and business executive. Senator dU
Pont has offered his resignation from
the United States Senate, and
through his resignation the State
and Nation loses. Persons Of all
party affiliations regreat that the
condition Of Senator du Points
health made his decision necessary;
but they accept his decision with a
hope that the lessening of the de-
mands upon him will aid in his
speedy recovery. The father of
Delaware's modern highway system,
a man whose farsightedness has ad-
vanced the Diamond State to the
forefront of commonwealth Of the
nation in the good roads movement,
his services for this alone will mark
him as one of the men whose unsel-
fishness have brought about big
achievements for his State. Never a
fluent public speaker, Coleman du
Points value in the United States
Senate has been through his ability
to work with committees. His grasp
of national questions brought him
prestige in the Senate and through
him his State benefited. His SER
vices will be missed. 1t is to be
hoped that Governor Robinson will
name a man Of equal ability when
appointing his successor.

WE HAVE been reading proofs of
the Christmas shopping lads" of
stores that will appear in the
Chronicle today.
They are as interesting as any
thing that one may peruse these
days, for they speak not only of the
approaching yuletide, with all that
means, but they illustrate as we'll
the rapid growth of Milford and it's
development.
Sometimes we are apt to think
of the modern town in terms only
of population and of public i'm
provements-street paving, parks,
public Fairgrounds and dozen 9TH
Ell items of the kind.
But the real earmark of the pro-
gressive town is its stores.
The real badge of prosperity is
the type Of retail stores town
boasts.
The advertising columns of the |
newspaper of today demonstrate the
fact that Milford has stores of
which any city may be proud and
as metropolitan as those Of many
boasting larger population. And
the stores themselves are as inter
esting the "ads".

you must eat it regularly and over a
sufficient period of time. At all grocers
