CALENDAR GIFTS

In former years we used to get so
many calendars, largely from COM
mercial houses, that it took a little
artificial enthusiasm to pump up
proper gratitude for them. But in
these times when people look at a
nickel with longing affection, many
concerns that used to send out cal
endars have adjourned this nice
habit. If we don't accept those our
friends send us with suitable inter-
est. we may be altogether lacking
in them in future.
An inspiring quotation for every
day or week is a noble kind of gift.
1t is like inviting your friend TO go
with you to some mountain top,
where you see above the murky airs,
and get a vision of far horizons.
When we begin the day with the
philosophers, we don't spend it with
the grouches and knockers.

UNFAMILIAR FACES

1t is remarked that more unfa-
miliar faces are seen on the streets
Of Milford than ever before. Auto
mobile travel has made it possible
for people to traverse much longer
distances to do their retail trading.
We are drawing in people from dis
tances that formerly would have
been thought prohibitive.
A store that gives exceptionally
good bargains, and whose salespeo-
pie are specially friendly, accommo-
dating, and personally interested in
their customers, makes an impress
sion on a very wide territory. Peo-
pie like to trade in that store, and
they will go a considerable distance
to obtain the advantages of its serv-
ices. We have many stores OF that
type in our business center.

MOST BEAUTIFUL WORDS

A list of the 10 words which
should be considered the most beau
tiful in the language, has been Sc
lected by Wilfred J. Funk, poet and
dictionary publisher. They are as
follows: dawn, hush, lullaby, muir
muring, tranquil, mist, luminous,
chimes, golden, melody.
These are very poetic words. But
this is a practical and hard boiled
age. Many harassed business men
will say the most beautiful three
words are Enclosed find check.
But the word hush, which Mr..
Funk includes in his list, sounds
quite beautiful when someone has
talked altogether too long. Down in
the stock markets, also. they will
admit that the word golden" is
very beautiful. And the flappers and
sheiks will rise to inquire why this
gentleman omitted the
word "love" from his list.

SMILE, MIR. TAXPAYER

The new federal income tax law
reduces exemptions under this as
sessment, so that 2,5O0,OO0 more peo-
pie than formerly must file returns
under this law. There will be the
usual tearing of hair and sulphur
GUS remarks, as people attempt to
figure out what they must pay, if
anything.
They should not get too excited.
They can well think of the many
more whose incomes are so small
that they are not liable for this tax.
Such ones would be very happy, IL
their earnings could rise to the
point where Uncle Sam would send
them a bill.
Also the taxpayers should consid-
er what they get in return. Protec-
tion from possible foreign foes, in
a world of suspicion and hatred, also
from disorderly elements in our own
land. TIE regulation of business, so
it does not oppress the people. The
handling Of our letters so they travel
across the country with amazing
speed and accuracy. The develop
ment of our agriculture so ii Is the
most advanced in the world. And
so on through innumerable serv-
ices. st Is
Our country would be a rough
and lawless place, with wrongs and
injustices tramping us down, were
It not for the strong hand over us.
The people of different sections and
localities would be in constant con-
hict, were they not forced to CO.
operate with some harmony by our
system. Our industrial de-
would be primitive and
meager, had not a strong govern
ment encouraged and protected our
progress.
Our taxes are no doubt much too
high and should be reduced. Yet
people could afford to pay much
more rather than miss the protec-
ion they get. So cheer up, Mr.. Tax
,ayer here in Delaware, figure out
,Our return and pay your tax with
/ smile, if you are liable. And be
thankful that you live in the best
In the world.

VETERAN WORKERS

A bill before congress would pro-
vide retirement pensions for all
railroad workers at the age of IS,
or after 80 years cumulative serv-
ice. Some men are no doubt inca
pacitated at that time, and should
retire. But there are many more
who are at their best. The public
will have to bear the burden, il men
who are able to work are set aside
and compensated for idleness. And
it would be heart breaking to many
a veteran worker, to be laid on the
shelf of inactivity.
A man who is able to work gets
the most out of life by working,
whatever his age. Don't take away
his hope and ambition by putting
him on any retired list.

THE HONEST WORKING GIRL

The so-called poor working girl"
was once an object of much SYM
pathy. But the secretary of the
Mutual Credit Rating exchange, st.
Paul, Minnesota, says she is one of
the best credit risks in the country.
She buys wisely, says this author
ity, she makes a budget, and she
does not take risks.
If the working girl has acquired
these extremely valuable traits, the
men should marry her right off
quick, and hand over their finances
to her keeping. Apparently the ma
jority of the men have not yet ac-
quired these useful habits.

VIEW BROOMs BEGIN SWEEPING

New governors and other state Of
ficials have been inaugurated, new
legislators are appearing at their
state capitols in their most dignified
clothes. Now is the time for them
to dust off their plug hats and tail
coats if they ever wear them. And
it's a great time for new brooms.
May they all sweep as clean as they
tpromised to.
The enthusiasm of new person.
ality on any new job is not to be
scoffed at, as if this energy would
soon peter out. Most of the new
men on the job want to accomplish
something and make record. They
have ideas about improvements. In
these times when too much money
has been spent, they all favor econ
Omy. But whether their resolution
will be as determined, after hearing
all the howls of protests by those
adversely affected by economics, re-
mains to be seen. 1t is not a pleasant
thing to reduce costs, and in many
cases ii calls for sad butcher shop
job.
The governments of the As states
come close to the daily life of the
American people. 1t is much easier
to get things accomplished through
state officials than to run to Wash
ington. A delegation to the national
capital might pursue some objective
through the tangle of the federal
Offices for weeks or months, when
if it could be handled through state
action, it might be cleaned up in a |
day. 1t is not desirable to hand |
over the functions of the states to |
the federal government, except |
where situations become too vast
and complicated TO be handled To-
rally.
People should visit their state
capital as often as possible, they
should follow closely the newspa-
per reports of their state govern
nent, and become personally ac-
luainted with their senators and
The more these
public officers hear from the people
md learn their views and needs, the
letter they will understand legisla-
i've problems.

HIGH PRESSURE SALESMANsHIP

A travelling salesman was givinf
us his impressions of business con
ditions as he finds them now. There
has been too much high pressure
salesmanship." he says. OF course
craftsmanship is a valuable art, but
there is such a thing as speeding
it up so that people buy what they
can't afford to have.
When business began to go a lit
tie fiat in those boom times, says
our salesman acquaintance, dealers
tried to pep up" trade by introduc-
ing many cute novelties to tickle
peoples fancy. People felt they had
to buy these novelties to keep up
with the game. These novelties
changed quickly. merchants dared
buy only small amounts of them be-
cause they would probably soon go
out of style. The net result was to
make production more costly, to in
vOlve dealers in losses, and to in
duce people to spend beyond their
means.
Another favOrite scheme of high
pressure craftsmanship. was an over
extension of installment sales. Many
economists favor reasonable
amount Of such sales. But they were
greatly Overdone a few years ago.
People mortgaged their incomes
long time ahead, and while they
were, paying off the old debt, they
could buy very little new stuff.
Now our people, says our sales
man friend, having had their fingers
burned, are keeping away from the
not stove, and buying little, which |
S what is the matter with trade. No |
lOubt they are buying too little now.
Salesmanship is a good thing now, !
q induce people to recover their
courage.
But when we get good times re-
as we surely shall in a
ear or two, let us discourage high
PRESSURE craftsmanship. that incites
'eople to buy and live beyond their
means. Also the people should re-
over the Old-fashiOned habit of
uying standard goods, that can be
reduced in quantities at low ex-
ense, and which involves fewer
lsses and risks for business con
erns.
