THE HUMAN EXHIBIT

A friend who has attended a mum.
ber of cattle shows and county fairs
this season, was asked what was the
most interesting exhibit he saw
there. He spoke admiringly of fat
cattle, woolly sheep, grunting pork
ers, sleek and swift horses, fruit
exhibits making a gorgeous rain
bow of color, and artistic skill in
needlecraft.
"But after ALL" he went on, "the
best exhibit at such a show consists
of the people of the country towns
who make up the bulk of the at
tendance. When 1 first began going
to these fairs years ago, l used to
take a camera along with me, and
l would pick out some of these
quaint rustic types, and take pic
lures of them on the sly. You
could find many men that looked as
ii they had not seen a barber shop
in 20 years, and women wearing
the clothes of our grandparents. A
large section of those folks looked
a generation behind their times. 1t
was rather amazing that so many
people looked so much outside of
modern life."
But today" our friend continued,
that aspect of it has passed. The
crowd looks just like an ordinary
city crowd. Women and girls buy
just the same styles that you get in
any city. The boys are neat and
business like, and they look athletic.
They have all travelled around, and
know how to give themselves a mod
ern look"
Thus these shows reveal the
transformation of country life.
Automobiles, agricultural instruc-
ton, and better schools have
marvellous changes.
All the country districts need now
is some system which will permit
them to sell their products for
fair return. That lack of a substan-
-ial return is the only obstacle to an
deal rural life. In some way, our
people will solve that problem.

RADICALS AND CONSERVATIVES

The radical mind, viewing our
industrial problems, remarks some
thing this: The trouble with our
business and labor has been that
too much of the earnings of indus
try have gone to the employers and
capitalists, who made more money
in the past than they have been
able to spend. The workers have
not earned enough to buy the prod
ucts of the industries, consequently
more of these products were Gre
ated than could be sold, hence in
dustrial stagnation. There is much
truth in that statement.
To which the conservative mind
replies: You can't cure that sit
uatiOn merely by advancing wages,
because prices have to go up at the
same time, so the total purchasing
power of the people remains the
same. If labor would accept lower
pay for the time being, business
people would see a profit in doing
business. They would then employ
more labor, everybody would be put
to work, and old rates of wages
could then be restored and prob
ably increased. Much truth also in
that point of view.
But the radical mind replies:
Well, even if so, you would soon get
another depression because the
same overproductiOn would again
take place. You will never get per-
manent welfare, until the workers |
earn enough to buy the products of |
the industries. Much truth in that |
too.
And again the conservative mind |
replies: Very well,~ but you can |
never have regular business and |
work, unless you give business a |
chance to make a profit. People
are led to engage in business by
the hope of reward, and they must
be given that chance, or they have
no incentive to employ labor. Much
truth also in that idea.
So business and labor are the re-
suit of a correct balance of con-
f1ictlng forces. Usually there is a
golden mean of truth between the
extremes of radicals and conserva-
tives. No one point of view sees
the whole thing.

SACRIFICES FOR HUMANITY

The readers of The Milford
Chronicle probably noted a short
time ago, newspaper items telling
how three scientists had submitted
to bites by mosquitoes which had
previously been inoculated with
sleeping sickness germs, to throw
light on the origins and treatment
of this battling disease. 1t is one
feature of this fine display of hero
ism that these three men are not
named.
They should have public recogni-
tion for such an act of self sacri-
fee, but they carry their spirit of
devotion so far that even their
names are concealed. They seem
to be taking serious risks, for the
causes of this disease remain a
mystery, and it will take time to
work out a dependable cure for it.
This instance perhaps represents
an exceptional devotion to the
cause of scientific discovery and re-
lief of human suffering. And yet
doctors and scientists are doing
something of this nature all the
time. They are constantly taking
chances with their own lives and
health, in their devotion to their
noble professional duty.
Have you not sometimes seen
your physician, when he seemed
sieker than you were? Yet he came
out in the worst of weathers, per-
haps breaking his rest in the mid
die of the night, he took the risk
of dangerous germs, he labored up
your stairway, when it seemed as
if he was almost ready to faint |
with exhaustion.
Yet tired as he was after long
hours of toll, he had words of cheer
and comfort that started you on the
road to health. His love of hu-
manity and scientific achievement
enabled him to forget his WEAKNESS
and the periIs that beset him. Let
us do more honor to these ply
sicians and scientists who are thus
always sacrificing themselves for
our benefit. And let us not merely
honor them, but pay them what we
owe them, and consider the debt one
of honor.

TODAY

TODAY women's fashions are
turning to the past for their inspiration, turning
back to the times when elegance was the worthy
aim and ambition of every famy elegance in dress,
in homes, in behavior.
Similarly Benamin's is looking back into the past
while formulating policies for the future We
know and frankly admit that in the years just gone
by, economic pressure made it necessary for our Gus
toners to buy and store to carry merchandise
that was not of the quality and elegance that our
customers, in normal times, prefer.
HENCEFORWARD, we return to elegance,
elegance modernized but the same position of quail
ity for which Benjamin's always was known
throughout the Eastern Shore. The grades of mer-
chandise unsuitable for Benamins patrons will soon
be things of the past. Benamins quality leadership
will be enhanced
Preparatory to this return to elegance we have re-
designed the three departments on the second floor
OF our Store Ready Wear Millinery and the Chill
dren'S Departments In addition we have had made
a move convenient and suitably imposing entrance
on West Church Street and we have purchased
stock OF Fall merchandise in keeping both in quality
and variety, with the desires of our patrons
You are invited to our store as it is now. Come
In tomorrow and look the extensive stock of Fall
styles, designed, assembled and trimmed in the grand
manner. Come and join us in "The Return to Ele-
gance."
