ST. VALENTINES DAY

Gone are the days when the young
people used to mail Valentines with
trembling fingers, their hearts going
pit-a-pat for days. until they found
how the girl friend took this express
sion of sentiment. Nowadays they
mail plenty of Valentines, but they
do so casually, and in a semi-hum-
OrOus spirit.
Young people have their love af-
fairs, but they have more things to
sOlace them now. They do not die
of love as often as formerly. If the
girl friend goes back OH them, there
arc others.
Little Cupid is still busy, but be-
fore yielding to his darts, it is well
to inquire whether they have pierced
the heart, or merely made a slight
scratch that will heal up if left alone
for few days.

JOLLY OLD SQUARE DANCES


TOwnspeople of Gov. Roosevelt, of
New York, celebrated his 5Oth birth
day by dancing the old square
dances, including the once famous
lancers. The report brought thrill
of pleasure to many of the old boys
and girls. The dancing floor never
saw happier hours than those spent
in those older pirouettings.
TO many, the thought comes back
of our famous home town dancers of
former years, artist steppers who
probably never took a lesson, but
whose bodies throbbed with rhythm,
and whose feet cut pigeon wings
as graceful as those of a ballet
dancer. The bowings and scrapings,
the genuhexions of those days, may
seem antiquated now, but in those
days dancing was an art, while now
it often seems like a wrestling
match. --l.~

LINCOLN,S RIRTHnAY

Lincoln's birthday. observed as a
legal holiday in 2S states, commem-
crates statesman whose name is
know nalmost as we'll in Europe and
Asia as in America. Two thoughts
seem most closely allied with his
career The first is that of his rise
to high fame from the most limited
opportunities and democratic cir
cles. With little schooling, brought
up in rough frontier cabin, he
gained no early advantages from
favorable surroundings and inhu-
ontial friends. Whatever he did,
was due to his own efforts.
No American family should say,
after hearing the story of Abraham
Lincoln, that it has no chance in life.
II has the same chance that Lincoln
had. But it must display the Lin
coin qualities, chief of which were
studiOusness and close observation
of life, if it wishes to make any
dent on the world.
The second Lincoln quality that
stands out most powerfully. was his
desire for reconciliation. If he had
lived, his moderate tendencies would
have greatly softened the bitter sec
tiOnal conflict that arose after his
death. Lincoln could see when dis
putes arose. that there was usually
some right on both sides. He tried
to induce each faction to reduce its
demands and pay attention to the
reasons that might justify in part or
wholly a different point of view.
Lincoln had no use for the type
of people called extremists. The
world is full of such folks, who can
sec only ono side of conflict. They
must have their own way in full, or
they will take nothing.
That point of view makes as much
trouble as the plots of absolutely
wicked people. Such ideas led to
the World War. Such principles in
both North and South led to our war
between the states. People have to
learn TO concede and compromise, if |
they expect to get along in this
world.
This fact is worth much consid-
Cration, especially in organization of
public affairs by the City Council of
Milford.

1 JOINT FOR MR. TAxpAYER

All over our country people are
complaining about their taxes. In
order to Keep taxes down. towns
must keep their valuations up.
Towns with declining valuations will
see higher tax rates.
One way to keep valuations up. is
to buy at home as far as possible.
IN that way the merchants are en-
abled to carry larger stocks. which
are taxable property. Where patron
age at the home stores falls off, deal
ers are forced to reduce stocks,
which means less taxable property
to assess. Do you get the point, Mr..
Taxpayer?
