THE MOUTH ORGAN BOYS

The apostles of musical culture
may deplore the lack of musical ap-
probation among the people, and
yet 100000 mouth organs are sold
each year, which proves that the kid
element have music in their souls,
which is capable Of being trained.
Milford is doing this in cooperation
with Georgetown and Laurel, Della
ware.
1t is rather amazing how much
skill some of the children develop in
the use of that little instrument. In
struction in it's use is given at many
clubs and public school Fairgrounds
now, and boys who become skilful in
using it have made a beginning on
training of their musical powers.
Parents who find their boys con-
staining practicing on the little
mouth organ, should ask themselves
if that budding musical talent is not
worth spending some money on.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1872
STOCK MARKET BREAKS

During recent days the stock mar
ket suffered sharp decline in val
ues. Conservative financiers have
long been predicting such smash
and have told investors that the
prices of securities could not keep
going up and up indefinitely.
These counsels of prudence have
been derided by many, who have
said that we have reached a new day
in business prosperity, in which the
old counsels of prudence do not ap-
ply. However, the recent breaks
have indicated that there are still
limits to speculation, and that in
the old phrase, whatever goes up
has to come down sometime.
