The Milford Chronicle has for sew
eral years charged for the advertis
ing had in it's columns during the
year. Then at the close of the year
a bill for all of this advertising is
sent to the Official Board of all the
churches. Each bill is receipted i'll
full and is regarded as the Chron-
icle's contribution to each church,
be the amount whatever it may. Not
all the official boards, or even many
OF the preachers, regard this help
for their churches enough to thank
the Milford Chronicle for its gem
erosity-Editor.

est and appreciation as to the pub
licity given, to express their appre-
ciation, are printed below.

Girl Graduate Is
E~ncountering Many
Hardships, Report

CHICAGO, July 6.-LP-The
sweet girl graduate is encounter
ing grave difficulties in finding an
interesting husband, observed the
Rev. Daniel A. LoIu, 8. j., of St.
Louis today. Father Lord is chair
man of the Catholic Women's So
dality convention in session here.
A bachelor girl with her bache-
lor's degree is becoming too erudite
for the college boy with his A. B.
he said. Not that girls 60 to
school any longer than their boy
chums, Father Lord explained, but
because cultural subjects are slight
ed in favor Of commercial and pro-
fessional studies in college courses
for men.
college women aren't marrying
as much as they used to-" he said,
partly because some Of them want
careers. But one Of the funda-
mental reasons is the difficulty lots
Of them run against in finding COL
lege men whose conversation and
companionship interest them"

TARIFF BILL
Continued from page -

CONTINUED from page ID
TO all Gulf Coast products. The re-
suits SO far obtained are crafty
ing.
Not in Politics
The Valley committee at the out
set reached an agreement with our
Gulf Coast associates that we
would approach the question Of
tariff legislation purely from the
economic standpoint and that we
would not concern ourselves in its
political phases. We estimated that
an adequate tariff on all products
raised in the Valley would increase
the purchasing power of our farm
ers at least $4,000 900 per year,
and we submitted Dur plea for
protection on the business merits
of the proposition and planned our
campaig accordingly.
Finances
To conduct our fight through
the house, where there was little
opposition, there has been expend-
ed approximately 100000. This
entire amount was raised in Flor
ida and Louisiana. The Rio
Grande Valley has not been ask
ed to contribute, although it was
the understanding with our Gulf
Coast associates that they were to
meet the initial expenses and that
we would call for subscriptions in
the Valley as soon as our shipping
season had closed.
The Rio Grande Valley tariff
committee has incurred an expense
of S3,203.25 to date, which classifies
MS follows:
Expenses of Valley committees to
Washington, $2,250; preparation Of
briefs, attorneys fees, ETC., $3.50;
telegraph and telephone bills,
SHIFTS; printing and steographer's
bills, $1,000. Total, $3,203.25.
This amount is exclusively a
Valley expense and has been paid
cut of funds raised in Florida and
Louisiana. We are honor bound to
reimburse the Gulf Coast commit
tee for this amout, and an addi-
Gonal amount of 1900 will be re-
Quired to carry the fight through
the senate and until the bill is
signed by the president.
The schedules as included in the
Hawley bill are for the most part
highly acceptable to the producers
of the Rio Grande Valley as they
afford adequate and equitable pro-
lection to a majority of our pro-
ducts. Potatoes, onions, cotton
seed and vegetable oils and long
staple cotton, however, are insult
ficiently protected, but these mat
tiers have been f~orcefully called to
the attention Of the senate finance
committee and it is hoped that re-
lief will be given in the senate.
He appends a list Of tariff rates
on vegetables as carried in the
Hawley bill which shows substan-
tial increases in practically all VAL
ley products.
