TRADE AT HOME

The people Of KenneWick and vicinity will
find it both profitable and convenient to do
their Christmas shopping in this city. The
Kennewick merchants have assembled large
stocks of quality merchandise that offer a
wide range Of choice, and in virtually every
classification; prices are surprisingly reduc-
ed this season.
Conceivably, there may be times, once in
great while, when the local market may not
have precisely what is desired, or it may be
occasionally, that a price shade lower pre-
walls elsewhere. But such instances are ex-
ceedingly rare. In the vast majority of cases
the prospective buyer can find anything de-
sired, of just as good quality and as just as
attractive price, in Kennewick as on any
market anywhere in the country.
Aside from any urge for community 10y
atty, the spirit of fair play dictates that we
patronize the home merchants. They have
their investments here, contributing in every
way to the life and progress of the con1mun-
ity. They deserve the business, prices, quail
ity and other considerations being equal
A man making his living in a community
has legal right to spend his, money in an
other if he sees fit to do so. That is his own
affair. But surely he owes something to the
home communicable community that af-
fords him the money to spend.

CAUTION VS.. ovER-CAUTION

This well-advertised depression has doubt
less taught us, in Kennewick and vicinity,
much that we had sighted or forgotten, IN
the way of economy, prudence and caution.
To that extent, it may be good piece of ed
ucation for us, provided we can endure it.
But the chief danger of KenneWick's pres
ent frame of mind is that our toWnfolk will
s look back with regret on everything they
ever did which was of progressive charac-
ter. There are many who wish we had not
built high school, because we are still sad
died with that debt There are many who
grumble at the expensiveness of our admir-
able system of hard surface roads. There are
hundreds of citizens and family heads who
have private debts, over which they shake
their heads and lose sleep, wishing and wish
ing that they had not incurred them.
Now is the season of vain regrets, in which
we cast resentful eye upon almost every
thing we have bought in the last ten years.
There sits the washing machine, looking
SNUG and comfortable, but we positively hate
the useful thing, because it could be bought
today for so much less. And the radio? And
the car? There they are, depreciating from
month to month. Last but not least, there
is the house not yet paid for. But that is an
object of such monstrous oppressiveness that
we hesitate even to mention it.
Carried to it's logical extent, this frame
of mind would prevent us from ever doing
anything useful or progressive again in our
lives. If we have got that far, we have learn
ed how to make the depression on perman-
ent one
On the other hand this is season of tri-
umph for the stick-in-the muds. Those who
seldom or never did a commendable thing
with their property roll their eyes gleefully
and say: 81 told you So" They point with
pride to the fact that they are solvent, while
the majority of us are now paying the penal
ty for having once made the wheels of COM
merce hum. Certain public bodies, as well as
the private citizens, belong in the stick-in-
the-mud class. They too are sitting on the
top of rihe world today, merely because they
are solvent.
Solvency is essential, and no mistake, but
it is a poor thing if it must be purchased
thru program of lifelong stagnation and
paralysis. Commerce depends upon activity,
and the reawakening of the world of bust
mes requires the prudent use of that which
we have.

criticising this. 1t was all done in
such proud way; that it made
you know these folks had a town,
but most of all they had pears.
And the thing that made it all the
more enjoyable is that it was done
t by just everybody you would meet
and not by the Chamber of Com
merce.
I didn't even see the secretary
of the chamber. So you see it was
not an organized effort to poke
pears down a visitors throat by
the better business element. These
folks just wanted you to know
they raised pears.
I hadn't eaten any lunch on the
plane, and it was then late in the
afternoon. I had had two and a
half hours of steady pears, But No
pears. just one lone pear distrib-
uted in the right spot could have
done the Medford Pear Industry
more good than Lip Service from
the total population. But not a
Soul dug up a pear. Some school
boys and girls that knew me from

dence. It's a beautiful little city,
fine folks, but I don't think there
is a pear in the country.

MUSIC CONTEST
Ensemble and Other Work
Gets Good Rating In
Event At Dover.

Last Saturday the representatives
of the Milford School met at Dover
to take part in the State Music Con-
test The program started at nine
o'clock at the Dover High and the
Murphy Schools. Solos, duets and
trios were rendered in the Murphy
School The orchestras, bands, and
ensembles were given at the Dover
School. 1t seems that the Milford
ensemble had been considered as an
orchestra and so was short in num-
ber.
The I.ewes Orchestra. under Mr..
Peck, won first place and Milford
was classed second. The selections
played by the I.ewes Orchestra were
March Alilitaire and The Andante
from the Surprise Symphony, the last
being the contest number. The MIL
ford ensemble, under the direction
of Prof. Hudson played part of the
Queen of Autumn overture and Poet
and Peasant for the contest number.
From our ensemble we had several
entries for solos and duets. Charles
Breme played q cOrnet solo; Ralph
Reed and Wilson Sockrider played
a cornet and trombone duet. Robert
Reed and Preston Hudson played a
clarinet duet; Ralph Reed also sang
a baritone solo. Prof. Hudson and
Miss Cathcart accompanied these
special numbers on the piano. All
these solos and duets received Glass
A. proficiency. At two o'clock the
program continued with a musical
festival at the Murphy School. Here
everybody joined and had a good
time while many old songs echoed
the hall. They had many
speakers comparing the musical
contest of our State with others, al
so making musical arrangements
for the future. At three o'clock the
prizes were awarded which were as
has been stated above. After this
he contestants were requested to

which concluded the days program.

ALL-STATE HIGH SCHOOL
CHORUS OF DELAWARE TO
GIVE CONCERT ON MONDAY

On Monday evening, May 4. there
will be a concert in the High School
Auditorium, given by Mr.. Raymond
Shannon of New York City and the
All-State High School Chorus of
| Delaware.
New and different programs are
the order of the day. Mr.. Shannon
presents his songs in a most unusu-
al manner, combining concert num-
bers with all the theatre arts. His
use of scenery, lights, makeup, cos
tunes and action songs, make his
programs vivid and alive. Prof. Dyk-
ema of the Music Department of
Columbia University, says of him:
"He is alive and growing, which
means that he will continue to, re-
fine his works and thus even better
adapt it to the need of his audi
ence."
The All-State Chorus has been
holding rehearsals for a number of
Saturdays. Up to this time they
have made two public appearances,
having given a program in the
Georgetown Auditorium during the
Sussex County Teachers Meeting
and at the Capitol Theatre in Dover
for the State P. T. A. Association.
This chorus has done admirable
work and has a delightful program
to present. About twenty members
of the All-State Chorus are boys and
girls from our own Milford GIee
Club.
The admission will be fifty cents
for adults and twenty-five cents for
all school pupils. The Seniors of
Milford High School are sponsoring
this concert in cooperation with |
Miss Cathcart and Mr.. Gildersleeve |
our State Supervisor of Music. We |
guarantee a most delightful enter |
tainment so help the Seniors to fill |
the auditorium on next Monday eve
ming.
