NEW YORK, April 49,
Search for the kidnapped Lind
bergh baby today apparently
rested with the efforts of To-
year-old "Jafsie"-Dr. John
F. Condon-who claims he
has direct" contacts with the
men to whom he paid $4,000,
and admits sensing danger to
his own life in the negotia-
tiOnS.
Today, Condon's home in the
Bronx presented a somewhat bleak
appearance. Shades we're drawn.
The telephone had been discon-
nected. No one was admitted save
those who apparently had appoint
ments.
Two visitors called, one a young
man with his coat collar drawn
around his head, and another elder
ly man.
After their visit, Ralph Hacker.
the educators son-in-law, stepped
from The house and mailed a letter.
Condor Not Visible
A little later a letter was de-
livered at the house, either spe-
cial delivery or registered letter,
which Hacker signed for. It was
recalled Condor had received notes
by mail from the men to whom he
paid the $4,000.
Condor was not visible nor was
Al Reich, the former boxer who has
accompanied Condor on the mys-
terious negotiations both before and
after payment of the ransom
money. Condor still is optimistic.
Il had contacts with the kidnsp-
ers and have direct contact with
them STILL" he said during the
night.
Never Identified Them
But there was possible strain of
fear in his announcement, for he
added:
Il have never identified them
(the men he dealt With nor said a
word against them. I value my life.
They value theirs. 1 know my life
wouldn't be worth anything If
said anything against them"
Condor is school principal and
educator. There we're hints today
that one of Condon's former pupils
may have been the man who select
ed "Jafsie' as the go-between in
the $4,000 negotiations.
Meanwhile, the Newark Evening
News said today that United States
secret service men, operating out
of New York City, had found the
first of the $4,000 in bills which
Condor paid. 1t was a $40 bill, the
newspaper said, and now is held

SKILLED SALESMANSHIP

The success of the retail trade OF
town depends very much upon the
amount of skill and brains that is
put into the work of salesmanship.
Young people who think that anyone
can sell goods over a counter, and
that all there is to do is to name
the price, receive the Nancy, and
wrap up the goods, have wrong
idea.
The salesperson has the problem
of finding the article that fits the
needs of the customer, and also of
providing himself with such thor
ough information that he helps the
customer to make an intelligent
choice, and one likely to be satis-
factory The salesman who works
off an inferior article on anyone by
his persuasive talk, is not doing any
thing to build up the trade of his
employer or his home town.

PROSPECTS FOR 1882

While world conditions have not
been favorable during the past year,
and people have suffered many
losses, yet the pessimism and dis
couragement from which many suf-
fer is wholly absurd.
The country has Il period of in
dustrial depression about every eight
TO 10 years. So far our wisest men
have not been able to devise plans
TO prevent these recessiOns, though
excellent suggestions are being
made. Some of these plans are
practically sure to be adopted, and
one can guess that it will be a very
long time before any such cOndi-
tions as have prevailed during 1881.
will return.
The country Keeps having these
periods Of slow business, aud il in
variably RECEIVERS. Conditions were
far worse during the panic which
followed the Civil War in 1873, also
there was a very bad depression in
1887, when specie payments were
suspended, and innrmerable banks
and corporations failed.
From every one of those periods
in past years. it recovered, when its
resources were intellectually less
tha nthey are now. The people have
today enormous reserves existing in
the form of bank deposits and other
savings. One reason why business
is slow now, is that people have
been boarding their money. But
they can not do so indefinitely. Their
clothing. their shoes, their autOmo-
biles. their homes, wear out, and
have to be replaced These replace
ments are beginning to be made on
a large scale. Many of us feel that
the present winter will not have
passed before great new stimulus
is seen from this source.
If people could but wake up to-
morrow morning with general con-
fidence that business is going to be
good, and would go ahead and buy
things and order supplies as they
usually do, our troubles would soon
vanish

New Century Club Notes

On Monday of next week the Mil
ford New Century Club will resume
its weekly meetings. There will be
a short business session only. In
the evening at 8 o'clock the annual
New Years reception will be given
with the president, Mrs. Walter X.
Barrett, and her officers, in the re-
ceiVing line. The members and their
husbands and friends are most cord
tally invited to be present to enjoy
a splendid program and an evening
of real sociability. On the program
will be heard the Club Chorus, which
will give several numbers. The Rev.
Carpenter, of Lewes, a baritone of
radio renown, will sing. Mrs. Au-
gustus FaiX, who always pleases
Milford audiences, will give some
readings. Rev. Frank Herson has
been asked to give the New Years
greeting. The program will be one
of especial interest and the mem
bers are urged to bring some one
with them to enjoy it. Refreshments
win be served after the program.
With a membership of more than 65
there should be well over a hundred
present.

THE STORY OF 1881

The year 1891 has been one of un-
rest and financial and national tur-
moil Yet substantial progress has
been made in relieving the upsetting
Influences that have delayed indus
trial recovery.
Governments by the dozen have
been overturned. Many countries,
particularly those in South America,
claimed TO have republican forms of
government. but practically the real
powder was exercised by armies and
mobs. If the army turned against
the government, the ruling officials
put on their rInning shoes. Just as
soon as difficulties appeared and
people were out of work, sentiment
turned against the government and
it was overturned by force. Our
government, TO which our people are
deeply attached. is in no such dan
ger.
In the main the world has been
at peace, save for the quarrel be-
tween Japan and China in Man
churia. This has almost seemed like
war, yet it was mainly an effort to
put down hordes of bandits and
general lawlessness.
The world has been full of finan-
cial turmoil, created partly by the
debts of the World War which still
have to be paid, and partly created
by unemployment. Our country has
seen declining prices on the stock
markets, millions of unemployed
people walking the streets, and peo-
PIE frightened by imaginarY:ufears
Also it has seen generous outpour-
ings of help, and congress is work
ing on remedial measures which |
Should relieve many sore spots.
The English elections, in which
the English people refused any
longer to try curing their troubles
by socialistic plans, gave an indica- !
tion that the world is recovering |
sanity. But people must realize, that |
the worlds troubles can not be SET /
tied on any basis of seliishness. The
world must take care of its hard
pressed sufferers, before unrest will
quiet down and fear and pessimism
depart

CALENDARS

AS soon as Christmas passes, the
homes blossom out with new calen-
dars for 1882, many of them contain
ing a wonderful collection of quota
tions for each month, week, or day.
If people followed the wise advice
given on these calendar pages, con-
tanning philosophy and inspiration
from the greatest minds, most of our
troubles and heartaches would van
ish.
Perhaps people are much influ-
enced by such philosophy. If each
day the thought of someone with
high vision and noble aim enters
our mind through a calendar quota
ton, who knows how many sordid
and petty thoughts may not have
been suppressed?
Even the purely business like cal
endar influences us here in Milford.
The people who assign certain fixed
dates for certain actions after study
of the calendar, are apt to pay their
bills and fulfill engagements as
agreed upon.

ESsENTIALS FOR PROGRESS

Back in primitive times every in
dividual was for himself. He found
his own food, fought his own enc
mics, and depended on his own right
arm for safety He made little prog
ress. He did not begin to go ahead
until he united with others and
formed successful tribes and states.
He began to give service and CO.
operation in return for protection.
Many people now have a primitive
idea of their relations to the COM
munity They just strive for their
own welfare, and will not contribute
to or assist any community cause.
Naturally they do not make good
progress. They need to work with
others, in order to get results.

COMING OF THE NEW YEAR

Human nature is not very imagi-
native, but on a few occasions, it
lets go of its toiling and grpbbing,
and takes a look upward to the stars.
One OF these occasions comes Janu-
airy l. Actually New Years day is
no different from February l or
June 30, hut imagination makes ii
dramatic. The moment when the
clock strikes ~ on December 81, is
no more exciting than the similar
moment ON 3G4 other days, but some
how it seems romantic.
The world for a day becomes con-
scious of the flight of time Ordi
narily it iogs along, scarcely con-
scious of the fieeting days. Then all
at once, it wakes up to the fact that
life is swiftly passing. 1t is seen
as a journey which has no return
trip.
All at once, the mystery and awe
of life comes over us. Whittier are
we going, is the thought that rises.
TO young and hopeful minds, re-
gardless of age, the idea is fascinat-
ing. The new period of time seems
to be filed with bomdless pOssibili-
ties, and we dream Of favorable
changes of fortune, great opportun-
tiles, wonderful experiences.
To those who have seen more of
the rough side of life certain dread
of this mysterious unknown comes
over us. Behind that dark future,
we see dim shapes peering, and we
know not whether they are friendly
or hostile.
Let us approach the New Year
here in Delaware with cheerful and
confident spirit. The merriment of
New Years eve is not out of place,
ir not so sporty that il leaves that
dark brown taste the next day. But
il is a foolish thing TO let the years |
pass so swiftly, without some TAX
ing account of stock. Has 1881 |
made us any better able to cope with |
life, and have we made any better
use of it than we did of previous
years? If not, il would seem time
'or some change of outlook that
should try 10 fill 1882 with more
Isefnl activities.

uted these on Christmas eve to the

the holidays. Notices will be dis

ever.
