MILFORD. FRIDAY. JAN. 10, 1928
THE PARTY ORGANIZATIONS.

One of the reasons given by many
people for not voting, is that cleo
tions are so dominated by bosses
and machines that the mass of the
citizens can not affect the result,
and might as well save the time
spent in going to the polls.
Machines and bosses have been a
tremendous factor in politics, and
the brand of government they give
is far from being ideal. Yet the
people who complain of them might
be asked, how they think they would
come out, if there were no party
organizations?
The party organization is apt to
take many prejudiced and short
sighted and selfish views, yet it
does perform certain services. 1t
provides a system for getting the
vote out. It also provides a method
for assuring a certain minimum of
fitness in candidates and officials.
The party organization wants to
win. 1t knows it has to give the
people fairly decent government
when it gets into power, or it stands
a chance of being thrown out at the
next election. Things can not be
altogether bad, or they could not
hold office.
If there were no party organiza-
ton, the voters would go to the
polls in a haphazard way, knowing
little about the candidates. The
vote of the intelligent people would
be split up between different candi-
dates, while selfish elements would
concentrate on those that they
wanted. 1t is not likely that the
level of competence and honesty
among those chosen for office would
be as good as it is now.
What we need is to get out full !
vote, and to have the voters read |
and study politics so that when a
political organization does wrong it |
is pretty sure to be kicked out of |
office. But it takes organization in
any field of effort to accomplish any
thing, and politics is no exception.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF RETAIL
TRADE.

When you enter one of our retail
stores here in Milford do you fully
realize all the brains and effort that
has gone into that enterprise?
If running such a store, even
small establishment, seems like
simple thing to any of our people,
they would change their minds if
they tried it for week. A great
many people have tried this kind of
business and found that it called for
far more experience and Judgment
than they possessed.
Running a retail store, even
small one, is a line of work that
calls for lot of brains and practi-
cal experience. First, the merchant
must be an intelligent student of
markets. He must know what kinds
Of goods are likely to be popular
and desirable, and what is a fair
price for all this great variety of
articles.
Second, he must become an in
telligent judge of such merchan-
disc, so that he will not be deceived
by limitations and poor material and
workmanship.
Third, he must be systematic and
accurate, to figure his costs cor
rectly and keep the goods on hand
that the people want.
Fourth, he must know how to
deal with people, to keep his helpers
and sales force satisfied and enthu-
siastic, and to please his customers
and attract the public and draw in
trade from nearby towns.
Fifth, he must be a student of his
OWN local field, and see the kind of
hing that that special locality de-
hands and needs. ]
Sixth, he must have enterprise
ind energy, some willingness to
axe chances, a disposition to spend
money on advertising, an alertness !
n taking advantage of special OPP
'ortunities. Our merchants here in !
he Delaware towns, like Milford,
ave these gifts to a large extent. {
We should appreciate the brains !
nd talent that they offer us by 4
these stores in such a \
lodern and progressive way, and \
nd satisfaction in giving them our

MRS FREDERICK M'LAUGHLlN (The Former Irene CastIe)

CHICAGO, July 20.-When one has known the conpanionsh!p and unfailing devotion that are to be found in the love of dog, one has indeed lived a richer life.
 Pernaps you know little of the 'mongrel' and his faithfulness and intelligence. You cannot do bet. ter than to choose him if you ar } looking for a pal with all the low able qualities.
 If stray dog crosses your path, be glad that he was fortu- nate enough to meet you. If he is too utterly fearful to come to you, buy him a hamburg sand wich and at least relieve his hun ger.
 If he still has enough confidence in human nature and hope has not died easily within him. and if your city has home for stray dogs, bundle him into a cab and send him there.
 Anyone has time enough to do that. Why, I even almost missed the only date I ever had with the mayor-chasing sweet but dirty yellow pup across Clark street bridge.
 I am devoting all of my time and most of my money to the wei fare of animals because believe it to be morally right and because I have suffered all my life from such an overwhelming love of them, that it would be impossible for me to do otherwise. I feel this is my calling.
 My husband chides me by in- sistlng that any pet that rounds
