CHRISTMAS TRADE

The period of Christmas trade is
the high tide of retail business for
the year, and it makes big diff
ference to Milford where the money
spent at this season shall go. Shall
we back up our own Industries, sup
port our own trade, and thereby give
our community good business start
for 1888? Or shall we let this
money drift hither and thither, and
be largely dissipated, as far as the
welfare of our community is con-
cerned?
Our merchants have done very
fine job in preparation for the holj-
day season. They have provided
themselves with splendid assort-
ments of every kind of thing that
can be needed for holiday gifts or
the needs of the winter. Every wish
that your friends may have, every
need of their households, can be
supplied in these stores of ours.
They are rich with the best modern
products, assembled from all over
the world.
1t is like visiting some fine expo
sition to go through our stores at
this season, when the stocks reach
their maximum figure, and see how
completely they are provided for
every kind of modern need.
Another marvellous feature of their
service is the low prices that the
now offered The producers of the
world have come down to bed rock
in production costs, and have plac-
ed their merchandise on the market
at prices that have not been seen
since the World war. 1t is not go
ing to be expensive to supply your
families and friends with nice and
appropriate gifts for this Christmas
season.
Let us buy our gifts at once, re-
membering how much overwork we
shall save to store and postal en-
ployes, if we distribute the Christ
mas rush as much as possible. Buy
eardy and buy at home, should be
the slogans of the Christmas trade.

For your health's sake ask for and

USEFUL GIFTS

- What has become of all those fan
ey holiday gifts of former years
The fused up water pitchers that
wouldn't pitch or even hold water,
the fancy albums that no one ever
looked at, the gorgeous gift books
on the parlor table that gathered
dust?
Gone are they, like hoop skirts,
and the rest of an outgrowth age.
Instead we see people buying most
ly useful gifts. There is still de-
mand for a work of true beauty.
But in times like these, people ask
principally for something their
friends really want, things they can
actually wear or use in the homes,
which save labor and bring happi-
ness.
Sensible folks find out what their
friends really desire for gifts. The
receiver thus often suspects what
the present is to be, BIT anyway he
does not have to write letters of
enthusiastic acknowledgment while
he is planning to deposit the des-
pissed offering in the town dump.

EATERS OF aHUMBLE PIEY

Humility is called one of the best
of Christian virtues, but the world
has seen very little of it during re-
cen years, up to the time when in
dustrial depression produced chang
ed ideas.
Up to that time, the world was
stuffed up with false pride. People
were ashamed of doing manual
work. They hated to show them
selves in overalls. or to get their
hands soiled by honorable toll. They
strutted around in borrowed plum
age, trying to make themselves ap-
pear more than they were.
In boom times, many people who
render no real service, or whose
service may be positively harmful,
are able to command good incomes
and profits. People have been val
ued in the community by the amount
of money they could sling around.
Millions of them have lived far be-
yond their incomes, even in the days
of high pay and profits, and have
borrowed money to keep up with
their aeighbors.
Innumerable such people have had
to come off their high horse and
trudge along the common road with
the rest of us. The country has seen
many glittering personages thus re-
duced to realities, and forced to seek
some useful service which the peo-
pie needed and could afford to pay
for. People have had to cut out the
frills and fancies, and come down
to really necessary expenses as their
fathers did.
This elimination of the shams
and excesses and infiations of our
former life has been trying enough.
But 1t has been helpful to human
character, and in the end will be
1t will convey the idea
that it is folly to live beyond ones
income, or to care about social COM
petition with our neighbors. Also
that people come out best in the
long run, if they render some SER
vice that the world really needs, in
stead of depending upon smart talk
to sell stuff that lacks real value.

Milford, Friday, December o, 1882
CONGRESS IN SESSION AGAIN.

Congress is now with us for what
is probably the last lame duck
session. Probably after this year,
the new congress will meet two
months after it is chosen. But this
year we still have the antiquated
method more than a century old, by
which our legislators are the ones
elected two years ago. We have to
look to them for the leadership we
need.
If there are the usual wrangles
and pickering, that hope will be dis
appointed. While statesmen argue
and play politics, families are suf-
fering, men and women are sad and
weary. Let us hope that the usual
quarrelsome spirit can be forgot
ten.
Measures of radical change should
not be rushed through hastily. Yet
half the time ordinarily taken for
debate is wasted. Long speeches
are delivered to which only few
listen. Let the orators print their
speeches in the Congressional Re-
cord if they must, but let us have no
political spellbinding to hold up ac-
tion, or tedious arguments intended
for political purposes back home.
Anyone can express his views in a
80 minute speech, if he will only
boil it down the way newspaper
people have to.
Congress must make its position
clear on the foreign debts, it should
strengthen the banking system, do
something to help the farmers out
of their slough of despond, fill up
that ever yowning hole in the treas
ury, and cut out services not really
needed.
1t would seem appropriate, in a
time when 1O,OOO,OOO people are out
of work, if the statesmen would fore
go the usual satisfaction of holi-
day recess. They would have our
sympathy in missing Christmas do
ings at home. But all those idle
folks will say that something should
be done to help them find work, be-
fore the legislators take TIVE weeks
vacation, after they have just had a
long summer rest.

the newly elected President We wish
him well and We reserve opinion"
He is, we believe, total abstainer,'

That he will shirk his responsibility
of law enforcement, that he will be-
come the mouthpiece OF pot-house poll
tieians, of wet bosses who have lost all
sense of proportion and restraint. Is
beyond belief"
The statement said: THE election of
Mr.. Roosevelt to the presidency is in
no sense wet victory. The acceptance
speech of Mr. Hoover had eliminated
the prohibition issue from the cam
paign as a clearcut issue. Upon this,
every temperance organization in the
country was agreed.
Those believing that prohibition Is
the best method of dealing with the
liquor traffic can and will win any ma
tional election in the United States
when the people are not deprived OF
the opportunity for choice. The be-
levers in prohibition won in 1928. They
