MILFORD, FRIDAY, MAR. 1, 1925
INAUGURATION DAY

The day when a president of the
United States is inaugurated is one
which naturally lends itself to pub
lie display. If we did things after
the manner of the old world, it
would be a day characterized with
the most regal splendors.
From time immemorial the coro-
nations of kings and emperors have
been festivities of the most unlim-
tied magnificence. The effort SEEM
ed to be to impress the people with
the power and splendor of these
monarchs, and to give suggestions
of the enormous wealth they con-
trolled, and the vast reserve of mill
itary force that protected their
thrones. The main idea often SEEM
ed to be to overawe the people, and
say to malcontents that they would
not better start any revolutionary
movements against such majestic
potentates.
Our Inauguration days have had a
different motive. Most Of our presi-
dents have wanted to have them
simply observed. Thomas Jefferson,
according to the old story, rode up
to the capitol grounds on his horse,
tied the beast to the fence, and
-, 81 10 tho nofh Most
presidents would do the thing with
equal simplicity if they could, for
such men do not care anything for
displays of magnifcence.
But the people do not like to pass
over such events with little notice,
and the Washington folks naturally
like to see crowds coming into their
city to spend money and have good
time. So there always will be i'm
pressive parades and brilliant social
events for this occasion. But the
affair will always be democratic,
something which arises from the
spontaneous desire of the people to
celebrate, not from any purpose OF
the presidents to impress the multi
tude.
The cheers of the crowd must be
heartening to a new president, CIV
ing him the feeling that he does not
carry these tremendous burdens
alone, but that the people stand be-
hind him, and are backing him up
in every useful plan that he makes.

GIFTS TO THE PRESIDENT

/
1t took four big trucks to carry
away President and Mrs. Coolidge's
household stuff from the White
House. Most of these possessions
consisted Of gifts presented by var
ious admirers. These objects con-
stituted only a small part of the
presents made to the president and
his wife, who are constantly receiv-
ing gifts in every conceivable form,
not merely fine art objects, but
things to eat, things to wear, etc.
A president and his wife may feel
that many of these givers are car
rying this spirit of appreciation
little too far, and they might wish
that many of these gifts could go to
people who really need them. Still
they must prize all these offerings
for the spirit in which they are
given, which suggests the loyal at
tachment that the American people
feel to all their presidents, and
desire to render all possible assist
ance in their great task.

THOMAS A. EDISON remarked
in his birthday interview, that eff
a boy has ambition, he does not need
to go to college," Many will disa-
gree with him there, feeling that
college training helps a boy to
learn in four years what it may
take him lifetime to acquire with
out such training.
But ambition conquers all OBJ
stacles. All learning is accessible
to everyone in this country of Ii
braries and cheap newspapers and
books. Nothing can stop boy who

CONTACT WITH THE BUYERS

The problem of any business is
how to reach the people who want
and can use and have money to pay
for the goods provided by that bust
ness. If the goods are all right,
there are always plenty of people
who would like the goods and
could afford to buy them, but many
business concerns do not succeed in
getting in touch with these possible
buyers, or enough of them to make
the business pay. The mass of the
buying public might as well be in
China, for all the good they do
those concerns.
A retail store, therefore, needs
some method of making contact with
these possible buyers. A good look
ing store window is one such way.
But only small portion of the
goods shown in that store can be
displayed in the store window. And
the majority of the people who pass
the place never look into the win
dow, and only small portion of the
population of town will be likely
to pass the window at all.
Some more intimate means of con-
tact is needed. Newspaper adver-
Using furnishes that point of con-
tact. Everyone reads the home
newspaper. If concern advertises
consistently, people are bound to
see and read those advertisements.
They become familiar with the
name, location, and stocks carried
by that store. They are impressed
with the idea that that concern is
wide awake and enterprising, and |
that it has desirable, substantial |
and stylish lines of goods. Thus a
contact between the store and ev-
eryone in the community is created.
By natural law of psychology,
when people want something in that
line, their minds are impressed by
the contact that store has already
made with their consciousness.
They usually head direct for an
advertised store to supply this want.

ELECTION CALL
AGAIN DELAYED
City Commission Calls Pro.
posals On Bond-War-
rant Exchange

The request that bond houses and
others interested submit written
proposals relative to taking over the
exchange of refunding bonds for
city warrants was made by the city
commission at its regular meeting
Friday afternoon.
Several bond houses and banks
were represented, and the city COM
mission announced that such pro-
poSals should be submitted by the
next regular meeting date, Friday,

nounced that if satisfactory pro-
posals we're received a call for a
bond election would be issued.
In discussing the proposed refund
ing bond issue Mayor Cole stated
that the city proposed to exchange
the long-term refunding bonds for
city warrants on a par basis, which
would give the city the advantage Of
the decreased payments and the
lower interest rate. One verbal pro-
posal was received from w. B. Sell
ers, active vice president of the
First National Bank, and he was re-
quested to make his proposal in
writing. 1t is understood that sew
eral bond firms also will submit
proposals..

900 in warrants outstanding and it is
the purpose of the city commission
to issue long-term, low interest
bonds to retire the warrants. The
proposition of calling a bond cleo
ton has been pending several
months, and it is believed definite
action will be taken at the next
regular meeting.

~debtedness incurred. stating there
were plenty of decisions on the sub
ject.
