SCHOOL BASE BALL

A great many towns which are
not able to support any regular town
base ball, yet have high schools
which are playing base ball regu-
larly and making a good showing.
Every such school ought to have a
ball team, and parents, friends, and
townspeople ought to back it up.
Many grammar schools also put up
very creditable kid base ball, and
many budding athletes can be OBJ
served on these juvenile diamonds.
Base ball does a lot for the youth
of America. The boys obtain prac-
tice in arranging games and man
aging base ball finances, which is
valuable training for business and
industry.
When these youngsters learn to
keep their temper and courage with
a crowd yelling at them, they have
acquired a lesson that many men
have failed to learn. Every boy who
is taught to obey the rules at base
ball is likely to obey the rules of
Delaware in later life.

Milford, Friday, May %, 1880
MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCES

Regret is often expressed by the
veterans of our various wars, that
the national Memorial day is for the
great majority of our people only Il
day of sports and pastimes, when
most of us go our own ways, play
our own games, enjoy our own fun,
with nevera thought of the great
and heroic achievements which this
day was appointed to commemorate,
as respects all the American wars.
The veterans realize that our peO-
pie are hard and earnest workers,
who long for their holidays as an
occasion when they can escape from
the restraints of toll. They hardly
expect that people will spend all
time attending patriotic exercises,
or that they will give up this chance
for open air life at this beautiful
season.
But we should all do something to
show regard to the veterans of our
wars. The flag of the nation should
be conspicuously displayed. Our
towns should blossom out with the
red, white, and blue, the colors that
signify the blood of the martyred
patriots, the purit yof American as
pirations, and the happiness which
we hope to create on American soil
for all our citizens.
When we see the flag of our coun-
try, we should do reverence to it.
We should give our soldiers a hand
of applause, as they pass in their
parades. AS many as can should at
tend patriotic exercises. 1t is fine
thing when audiences at athletic
events can be asked to rise and
stand for a moment or two in honor
of the soldiers who have gone.
Schools should tell their pupils
what the day means, and the value
of the country which the fathers
have defended. Churches should
show that true patriotism is a part
of religion. The people should show
loyalty to the soldierly ideals by
acts of good citizenship. So we can
all help carry out the Memorial day /
spirit here in Milford.

EDUCATING THE BUYERS

One reason why advertising has
attained the tremendous power it
has now reached in the business
world, is because it is an education
al force of high value.
Take the case of people who want
to buy an automobile, a radio, or
labor saving devices for the benefit
of the housewife. They take hold Of
the subject more or less ignorant
of the points on which they should
insist. They have not usually made
a careful study of the article they
are going to buy, and it would be
somewhat easy for them to make a
mistake, and neglect to see that
their purchase has some important
feature that later they are going TO
want.
Advertising is an information sys-
tenn by which they can find out
about these points. When they read
the advertising Of the different
makes of automobiles, radios, or
household devices, they find out the
advantages which each type of such
merchandise offers. They can form
some idea which will please them
the best.
Also these advertisements tell
them about improved and recent
features that the best makes are
putting in, or special advantages
which are claimed to attach to GER
tain makes. If they do not follow
the advertising of these articles,
they might buy something that was
lacking in these features and advan-
tages, and be greatly disappointed
later that their purchase had these
lacks.
BY following the advertising, they
can learn what constitutes a stand
ard equipment for the type of arti-
Gle they want, what points they
should investigate, and they get in
to a position where they can exam
inc the offerings in that line more
intelligently. The result i" that .
people are greatly swayed by the
they see, and they are
nrettv ant to buy the thing that told
the most reasonable story in its
notices.

Kent County State Attendance Day
will be held on Saturday, May "a, at
TO a. m. at the Capital Theatre iD
Dover.
The program will consist of five
minute talks by Governor c. Doug
lass Buck, Mayor Wallace Wood
ford, and DR.. II. V. Holloway. Ger
tificates will be awarded to pupils
on the stage, who have record of
8-9-10-11 and IL years perfect at
tendance, by George S. Williams,
president of the State Board of Edn-
cation.
After a feature picture and COM
edy the pupils who are eligible for
the State attendance will join in a
parade lead by the Dover Rotary
Band. American Legion men and
other citizens will form Guard of
Honor" on each side of the children.
Altogether there will be 1880 pupils
in the line. OF these Kent county
has 1850 pupils.
The interest of this community in
the State Attendance Parade should
be keen, for our school will be rep
resented by 225 pupils, who are ELI
gible to parade. Last year there
were only 139. The increase of 86
this year is noteworthy.
Of these 225, Mary Carpenter of
grade seven; Irene Williams OF
grade nine, and Mildred Burlingame
of grade eleven have been eligible
for State attendance six years.
Among the students receiving spe-
cial honor are seven from our high
school. Six of these, Viola Donovan,
Mildred Griffith, Ruth Robbins, Mad
cline Warren, Charles Hayes, and
Ethel Donovan, all of grade ten,
have made the standard of State at
tendance for eight years. Theodore
another sophomore,
has made it for ten years.
These seven pupils will appear on
the platform and will take their po-
sition in the parade at the proper
time.

BIG FOREST FIRE YEAR

A wave of destructive forest fires
has swept over the country, Gre
ated by drought in many sections.
The American people have seen
many hundred or thousand square
miles of their beautiful and pre-
cious forest lands turned into heaps
of blackened and useless wastes. 1t
is a senseless destruction of valu-
able property, and a ruthless loss of
the beauty which we have always
boasted for our once glorious land.
1t is all entirely needless, and
has occurred because thousands of
needless people will take no pre-
cautions to prevent fire. There are a
lot of folks who are no more fit to
be turned loose anywhere near these
forests than infants are to have
boxes of matches as playthings.

MEMORIAL DAY THOUGHTS

The nation has set apart the Both
day of May to honor the soldiers of
all its wars. The government asks
us to make the observance of this
occasion worthy of the great events
and sacrifices it commentaries.
In our peaceful every day lives,
we do not stop to think of the omi-
nous significance of the call to make
war. When this dread specter raises
its head among us, when the nation
is called upon to defend itself
against some foe, every aspect of
our lives is affected. The threat of
the national danger enters our ac-
customed habits, and everything
else has to be set aside.
The parent finds that he must
yield his affection for his offspring
to the call of the country. The boy
finds that he must give up the safe
ty of his home life for the perils of
combat. The lover must postpone
the day of his happiness. The bus
mess man must take the chance that
his business will be ruined. The
worker must run the risk that the
support of his family will have to
be left to others.
The men who have served in all
our wars have accepted these
chances and perils and losses with
a sublime spirit of loyalty. There |
were of course the laggards and the |
and many who would have
evaded the call if they could. But |
in the main, no such hearty and |
loyal response was ever made in any |
land to this dread call as was made
by the men of our various wars.
AS this anniversary recurs, we
then owe the former soldiers a trib-
ute of affectionate remembrance. For
those who have gone, the flower of
memory, that the recollection of
heir heroism may never fade. For
hose still lifet, warm tributes of
and substantial help
we can give it here in
Delaware and elsewhere.
