THE GOOD SALESMAN

A business man remarks that a
good salesman can be told by the in
terest he takes after a sale has been
made. The poor one, he says, loses
interest in that sale as soon as he
has made it. He doesn't care wheth-
er the goods made good or not.
But the good salesman, he re-
marks, has a long memory for the
things he has sold to a customer. He
will ask about them afterward, and
how the customer liked the stuff, and
whether he got the wear out of it he
expected. In that way many sales
men have become so extremely in
telligent about merchandise, that
people value their opinion, and will
wait around to have such a one at
tend to them. BY showing interest
in such ways, the salespeople of
Milford can build up their own repu-
tatiOn, that of their employer, and
of their home town.

A LITTLE ELBOW GREASE

Don't expect to have a good look
ing home, one that will be a credit
to your neighborhood, and which
can be sold at a good price if you
need to get rid of it, unless you are
willing to put some work on 1t. OF
course, if you are able to hire work
done on it, you will be well reward
ed. But the majority of people must
depend on Nheir own muscle.
1t takes constant effort to make
a home place look we'll. Its grass
must be raked and fertilized and
watered and seeded Grass needs
little nursing. But the effort is
well repaid. A fey hours a week
put on your home grounds will i'm
prove the selling value of your
place probably 10 per cent.

HEALTH FROM THE SOIL

Man lived for uncounted CEN
turtles close to the soil, he toiled on
it, and apparently drew strength
from it, People seem healthier when
they are at work on the surface of
the earth. When they are separated
from earth, and labor in structures
of wood, stone, and other substan-
ces, something seems lacking in
physical stimulus.
Every hour of work that you put
in on your home grounds will not
merely produce beauty and useful
ness, but it should have physically
beneficial results. The fresh open
air and the invigorating rays of the
sun have a stimulating power.
Farmers usually live long lives.
In spite of their prolonged hours of
toll, greatly exceeding those of in
door workers, and though many of
them live in unsanitary homes, yet
their contact with the soil and their
outdoor life give them exceptional
vigor. Anyone who has room en-
Ough around his home for garden
can gain some of this benefit by la
boring over that space.
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-12
IN THE FARMERS OWN HANDS

The farmers of the country are
naturally encouraged by the fact
that the present administration, like
the last, is giving every effort to
stabilize their industry, raise prices,
and broaden and improve markets.
These efforts will doubtless meet
with a degree of success. But the
farmer should not take the attitude
that the matter is now out of his
hands. He should not seek to lean
on the shoulders of the administra-
tion and await results. AS Presi-
dent Roosevelt has said, government
farm relief is frankly experimental
and is but temporary. 1t is an at
tempt to avert a crisis and to carry
the farmer through an exceedingly
difficult period. In the long run,
permanent farm relief must come
from the farmer himself.
1t will come through organiza-
tiOn, through mass effort-in brief,
through development and extension
of the cooperative plan. 1t will
come through the buying and SELL
ing power that only collective action
can give. The achievements of
industry in the past were
largely due to intelligent co-Opera-
lion, and business is cooperating
now in the work of recovery. The
'armer must adopt the same plan.
If he produces and sells as an in
lividual only, he will be forever at
he mercy of those who buy from
lim. If he joins with his fellows in |
/ strong, loyalty supported cooper
tive, he can meet the middleman on |
lis own ground.
The cooperative movement has
lone fine things. 1t is withstanding |
he acid test of depression with fly
ng colors. Its future lies entirely |
n the hands of the individual farm

i've it now.

BASEBALL

Seasons come and go. Depres-
sions rise and fall. Stocks go up
and go down. But baseball goes on
forever. The American people might
change their form of government,
but they are not likely to change
their baseball. One can feel sure
that 100 years from now, when the
infant of today who is destined to
have the longest life, shall have
passed from this earthly sphere,
the crowds will still be yelling for
home runs, and cursing the umpire
who gave a close decision to the
visiting team.
It's something to have a pastime
that so fills the popular heart. 1t
removes grOuches from irritated
minds. II keeps lot of men out of
mischief. They aren't getting into
trouble with the police while shout
ing on the bleachers.
The best wishes of the American
people go out to all the major and
minor league players who are now
off on another grand test of speed
and skill. May they be rewarded by
the usual cheering crowds, and give
us a fine exhibition of sportsman
ship.
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-12
EXTRAORDINARY POWERS

1t must be borne in mind that
President Roosevelt has not
"seized" any extraordinary powers
but that these powers have all been
concentrated in the Executive by
regular and orderly processes pro-
vided under our form of government.
The Democratic party was selected
by the overwhelming vote of the
people in the last election to guide
the destinies of the Nation, and it
has accepted full responsibility. Its
members in the Senate and the
House have unlimited faith in the
leadership of President Roosevelt.
Imitation, trade agreements, and
other processes of national and in
ternational affairs, are involved in
programs practically unknown and
untried under our form of govern
ment. The President has been CIV
en- discretionary powers to enable
him to take quick action to meet any
kind of an emergency-which means
that he does not have to go back to
Congress to obtain its approval since
its consent has already been given.
The short cut" across unexplored
field is open If he chooses to go
ahead"

UNPAID TEACHERS

Five thousand teachers descended
the other day on the banks of Chi
cago, and demanded that something
be done so they could get their pay,
which is 10 months overdue. That
city is not the only one which has
been slow in paying its teachers and
other public servants. The free ex-
penditure of the boom era assumed
that those flush days were going to
continue indefinitely, but the whole
world saw everything then through
rose glasses.
From now on we need an era Of
prudence in managing cities and
towns. They should borrow very
sparingly, pay as they go so far as
possible. lay moderate taxes and col
lect them promptly. Then when
stormy times come, the taxpayers
will not kick too much over such
as are necessary to pay
the bills.
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-12
EMNl
PRODUCTIVE WORK IS THE
TEST

Any relief program that is sound
must be based upon PRODUCTIVE
work. We can, for example, build
unnecessary postoffices, federal
buildings and statehOuses until the
taxpayers are blue in the face. A
certain amount of distress will be
eliminated, a certain amount of tenn
porary employment provided, and
that is all. Unless the money spent
gives us something actually needed
it has been wasted.
Individuals and industries must
eventually provide the PRODUC-
TIVE work. This does not mean we
should refuse worthy charities -
give to them by all means. Charity
in itself is a productive venture of
sort. But it is better if the same
amount of money can provide nor
NAL Jobs, add to the nations pur-
chasing power, and give the spender
himself something he needs and can
use.
Property improvement is PRO-
DUCTIVE work. Prices for mate
rials and supplies of all kinds are
at unprecedented low levels. Mills,
factories and quarries are inactive,
waiting for orders. There are mil
lions of people in this country who !
can afford to spend ten or hundred
or a thousand dollars to repair a
furnace, renew or replace roof,
buy and install some labor-saving
appliance, overhaul an automobile.
paint a home or do a multitude of
similar tasks. The property-Owner
who does this will get his improve
ments at much less than their real
he will be putting dollars
into PRODUCTIVE relief work.
Remember that while honest
charity is good, jobs are better and ]
cheaper.
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-12
BASIS OF SALESMANSHIP

Business can't succeed without
good salesmanship. inefficient or
incompetent salespeople can ruin a
business. Good salesmanship is not
matter of smart and persuasive
talk, as some imagine. 1t is a mat
ter of giving information about
goods. The salesman who. knows
about merchandise, who can Judge
whether stuff is worth the money
or not, is the one that people look
to. They value his opinion.
Advertising is mostly a form of
giving information about goods. 1t
tells people the things they want to
know. If a concern does not ad-
vertise, the public is apt to lose in
terest in it, because they feel it does
not inform the public about its
goods.

Milford, Friday. May 19. 1898
MOTHERS DAY

The American people have SO
many faults Of character and con-
duct, that pessimistic philosophers
sometimes regard them as nearly
hopeless. And then our folks will
often show finer traits. which prove
that they have capacity for noble
action. One of these traits is we'll
illustrated by the annual observance
of Mothers Day. which appears to
have become a permanent custom.
Whatever mercenary and selfish
thoughts may animate our people,
yet a very tender motive on their
part has created this observance.
Through all the cOarsening expert
ences of life, they preserve this
warm and generous affection. 1t is
a kind of beacon star in their lives,
guiding them toward the better
pathways.
And so on this occasion innumer-
able mothers are rejoiced by tokens
of love, by letters and visits from
sons and daughters who have flown
far from the home nest, all testify
ing to a gratitude that will never
fade out of their minds.
The very best tribute to be paid
to a mother is not any costly or
choice gift. 1t is the carrying out
in ones life of the ideals which the
mother cherished for the child.
Whatever mistakes a mother may
have made, she wants her child to
be true and worthy. The thing that
makes her happiest is to see a son
OF daughter doing fine and generous
things.
If our mothers have passed from
our sight, Christian faith tells us
they still live in a happier sphere.
1t is possible that they are conscious
of our lives, and watch their devel-
opment eagerly. If so, unworthy
action on our part gives them pain,
while useful and helpful conduct
gives them joy. Let us keep ever
the influences of their love, as an
inspiration to the best living.
Milford chronicle., 1933-05-12
RELIEF CAN'T GO ON YEAR
AFTER YEAR

The plan of starting public works
to provide employment, is a TEN.
porary expedient that may be help
full for time. 1t may start a cir
culation of money that will lead on
to prosperity. But the government
can not go on year after year spend
ing money for enterprises that il
does not absolutely need. Some other
method must be found, if unemploy-
ment continues.
There are always a considerable
number of people out of work, even
in good times. The conscience of
the American people is stirred by
such distress. In former days, it
was customary to send iobless peo-
pie to some public farm or wood
yard where they could do needed
work. But modern life does not call
for much of that kind of service.
1t would seem possible for a state
or municipal government to hire
certain amount of space in shops
and factories, in which it could set
unemployed people to work under
competent supervision, to produce
merchandise needed by other unem-
ployed folks not able to buy such
goods. A certain number of farm
ers could be enlisted to provide food
stuffs for these unemployed persons.
Such a plan would be costly, if it
became necessary to pay all these
workers in cash. If they would ac-
cept pay mostly in some form of
scrip, which be exchanged at CEN
tral distributing points for the foods,
clothing, shoes, etc, produced by
these various unemployed groups,
then all these folks would be provid-
ed with work, and they would sup
ply most of their essential needs.
1t would cost 1.-THE government
to carry on such plan.
But seemingly the cost would be less
than providing public relief. And it |
would be better for, people to be
on such a system, even if
It paid in scrip, than to be sitting
around idle. Probably most indus
.rious persons thus rendered idle
would be glad of the chance.

BANKING REFORM

The American people favor legis
lation that win prevent bank fail.
ures, but they can't agree as to just
how it should be done. While they
are disputing and arguing, business
lags. But now a commission of the
American Banking association has
come forward with a Is point plan
to put the banks of the country ON
a better basis.
There is a tendency in the bank
ing business, as in all forms of actiV-
ity, for people to go to extremes. AT
times when there is a need and rea-
son for liberal extension of credit,
people may have become so cautious
that they won't extend the credit
that is really needed and justified by
business conditions.
And then there are times when
people have been stepping high,
when they should be more conserVa-
tive and cut down their speed. But
at that time people may be so conf
dent that loans can be had without
adequate security. The report comes
from many sections that in the boom
days it was very easy for people to
borrow large amounts without care
full scrutiny of the proposition they
were offering.
One banker remarks that there
has been too much thought in this
country about lending money at
good interest, and too little thought
about getting it paid back. He wants
more careful arrangements to have
loans paid back within a reasonable
time.
The American people have been
inflated with a get-rich-quick spir-
it Their minds have been on big
interest rates, big profits. They |
were willing to risk the principal of
their money, for one or two per |
cent extra interest. That kind of |
thing is a losing game. The rec
of the Bankers COM
should help get American
on a rock bottom basis, on
which a new foundation of prosper
ity for all can be constructed.

EXERCISE WITH THE HOE

A garden authority remarks that
people would not have to put so
much water on their gardens, if they
would exercises the hoe more vigor-
ously. He says that the most i'm
portant thing of all in raising gar
den, is to keep the earth loose
around the plants, so that the mois-
ture can get in to the roots, and not
be dried on the surface by the warm
sun.
This sounds like good philosophy.
You never see any good healthy
plants growing in a soil that looks
baked down into hard surface. Fre-
quent cultivating will keep the pesky
weeds from getting a start.
