It was formerly said that the busl-
ness Of a store salesman was to
wait on" customers. The sales clerk
was supposed to show up the kind
OF thing the customer called for, and
name the price. He was supposed
mostly to wait around until the Gus
toner decided whether he wanted
the goods or not. Not much else for
him to do.
The well trained sales clerk of to-
day, such as we have in the stores
of Milford. goes beyond that He
conceives it to be HIS duty to give
useful information about goods, and
make an effort to find what the Gus
toner wants. and to try to find that
particular thing. He also will give
an intelligent opinion as to the kind
of goods that is the best purchase,

DEATHS FAHORIrE HOLIDAY

The National Safety Council pre-
dicted that the death toll from auto
mobile fatalities over the Labor Day
weekend, would amount to $50 to
400 persons. Late figures indicate
that the total number of fatal acci-
dents for that period may not run
over 300. But 300 lives is a tragic
price to pay for the observance of
what should. be a happy holiday.
1t does not seem possible for the
American people to do active things
without getting into trouble. Every
warm summer Sunday is the Oc-
casiOn of many drOwnings. The
football season brings a melancholy
record of deaths. Many children are
burned at each Fourth of July cele-
bration.
The American people need to learn
a little more caution. People who
step too high often fail to see the
things they are stepping into.

THE BOY.HORNET WAR

Our people will probably succeed
in keeping out of the prospective war
in Ethiopia. But the boys find it
next to impossible to maintain neu-
trality in the war between their
tribes and the hornets, wasps, and
other noted stingers.
The hornets in the back orchard,
like the EthiOpians, would like to
live their own lives, and govern their
own nests. But according to Junior,
the nest needs ventilation, which he
proceeds to provide by piercing it
with a well aimed rock, or the end
against their hereditary enemy, Ju-
of his fishpole. Then when the hor-
nets emerge in wrathful sortie
nior makes what the war dispatches
call a strategic retreat. Loud yells
from the orchard indicate from time
to time that such attacks have been
repulsed with heavy loss.

BETTER TOWNS

Many of our people are looking
for bigger towns. 1t is a good OBJ
ject of ambition, and yet unless they
look little harder still for better
towns, they will not accomplish
much. Mere population growth Of
ten proves disappointing.
The best foundation for growth
of a community, is to produce such
hopeful conditions for business, such
desirable conditions for residence,
that the town becomes widely known
as a wide awake place, one where
there are opportunities for advance
ment, and where living is pleasant
and satisfactory. The town which
is made better by attractive home
places and streets, clean looking
business buildings, and good educa-
tional advantages, will grow in pop
nIation also.

MHEN TfIE RAIN FAIfErH

The country has not as a whole
suffered from drought as IN 1884.
But many. sections hive had dry
weather, and long weeks when the
sun beat down on the farms and gar
dens in merciless severity. The
farmer tolls and strains, but when
Nature thus says Nay. he has moth
ing but philosophy from which to
extract comfort.
Irrigation systems have solved
this problem for many. But in other
regions the farmer and gardner is
at the mercy of Natures whims, who
may or may not smile on him with
her showers, as the fiirtatious mood
takes her. AS the farmer sees his
plants wilt under her too ardent
rays, he longs for some method Of
culture that shall make him inde-
pendent of these caprieious moods.

sHALL THEY aO 10 CotLFaEl

The above question is an absorb
ing one in many families. In many
homes 1t was formeriy considered
Inevitable that the boys and girls
should have this higher education.
II was believed their lives would be
blighted if they didn't have it.
But college authorities tell us that
many thousands of young people
who are worrying through these
long courses in Latin and the higher
mathematics. are not fitted for such
study.
Many business executives fail to
see any halo of glory attaching to
the youth who expects a good paying
job merely because he can write
"B. A." after his name. In fact, they
say that many of these young peo-
pie know too many things that
aren't So"
It used to be thought that college
was the place to send young people
for social polish. But sometimes
they get too much polish there, and
wear off some of the gritty stun they
need in the conflicts of life. You
learn a lot from books if you go to
college. You also may learn some
things not so desirable, and which
you have to unlearn after you get
lut..
If young folks are to enter some
where they need more
han ordinary knowledge, and if
hey like to study, by all means send
hem to college. if you can raise the
ash. 1t is an inspiring experience.
But don't think for a moment that

DIFFICULTIES OF NEUTRALITY

Congress passed a law which is
aimed to provide for the neutrality
OF the United States if foreign wars
break out. This responds to a prac-
tically unanimous sentiment, that
this country should keep out of all
wars.
1t is generally agreed that it will
be inexpedient for the United States
to sell munitions of war or war sup
plies to any fighting power. But if
the European countries get to fight
ing. they will look to the United
States to supply them with food.
coal, iron, STEEL cotton. and many
other things besides actual weapons
of war. If the ships carry these
goods are sunk, a powerful demand
will arise to have the right to ship
such goods protected. To enforce
that right, our country might have
to go to war
One theory of keeping out of war
is to prohibit the export of all kinds
of goods to the fighting countries.
The people who make profits or earn
wages by making these goods, may
resist the demand that the export of
such merchandise be stopped. They
may persist in sending such stuff to
4 fighting country, and SO involve
heir country in a war.
To keep out of such wars, people /
nay have to give up rights of travel |
md free commerce on which their
living depends. A popular clamor
will rise to have the country stand
p for its rights. and fight rather
han give them up.
If our people want to keep out of
mother World War, they may have
, give up about all their foreign
'ade while the war is on. But fore
IN, trade isn't worth much, if it
hould cost hundreds of thousands
( lives and a hundred billion dol

JEWELS ANDLOVE

"As long as man loves woman.
jewels will be sold" was an ancient
proverb that cheered the gathering
of the National Retail jewelers. As
sociation at New York. The recent
revival of the jewelry trade seems
hopeful indication of better times.
The sparkling diamond and the
glowing ruby have played a large
part in love and family life. Prob
ably many irritated wives have for
gotten their grouches, when husband
brought home that new necklace
with its bright sparkle. Ages be-
fore men learned the art of printing,
probably centuries before they
learned how to write, they cherished
beautiful gems, and found in their
brilliant glitter a charm that solaced
them for the troubles of life.

ARGUMENTS WILL START

Don't start any argument" is a
saying that frequently issues from
peace loving people. But it will not
probably do any good to apply it to
the next session of Congress- which
begins in January. President ROOse-
welt is said to have hoped that most
of the big controversial issues could
be settled by the session of Congress
that has just adjourned, In that
case, the next session, which will
run into the presidential campaign,
might be free from prolonged and
bitter arguments.
But so many big issues are still
unsettled, that plenty of arguments
will start when the statesmen re-
assemble. Some hot ones will be
passed around. But it is a relief to
feel that we are to have at least
four months of relative peace.

Milford, Friday, September 1s, 1895

ONE LESSON WOULD seem to be
learned from the severe flood condi-
tions of last week here in Milford.
This is that the pond owners should
give more careful attention to the
operation of their flood gates in time
OF danger. Persons familiar with
the operation of flood gates say that
had the gates have been opened
sooner at the several ponds above
Milford much of the damage would
have been averted. In one instance
the chains on the hOists were gone
and it was impossible to take out
the gates until a derrick had been
secured and put into operation. A
few hours sooner opening of the
gates, say those in a position to
know, would have allowed the water
to flow out into the MispilliOn and
much of the water which backed up
against the Walnut Street Bridge
would have been carried off without
damage. If the pond owners will
not keep their gates in proper con-
dition and will not open them at the
proper time, then legislation should
be enacted by the General Assembly
when it next convenes which will
give the State Highway Department,
or some other responsible agency,
supervision and absolute control
over the operation of these flood
gates. The safety of life and prop
erty in many sections of the State
requires such control-and Milford
is one of the cities most vitally con-
cerned. Now is the time to look in
to the matter.

TRADE FOLLOWS ADVANTAGES

The towns that have the best civic
advantages are the ones that have
increased trade. If town has first
class schools. churches, clubs, So
cial organizations, parks, play
grounds, and other like features,
people are attracted to it, and they
hate to leave such a town. and it
grows. 1t holds its old residents and
draws new ones.
And when it does that, its business
grows. Such a town draws and holds
a substantial class of people who
have money to spend and yho pay
their bills. Prosperity follows these
civic advantages. and provides more
jobs for wage-earners and more op-
portunity for business people. When
you work to make a town better
residence community, you work to
create jobs and make better busi-
ness.

PROCESSING TAXES

Washington dispatches predict
that the processing taxes on leading
farm commodities and benefits to
farmers will be sharply reduced. in
order to keep the cost of living with
in reason. The farmers who have
benefited by these payments will
mourn But the cost of living is one
thing on which the American peo-
pie are more sensitive than almost
anything else.
When prices are high at the
stores, the shoe pinches in every
home. A cry of anguish goes up
from the housewives that shakes
the country. The cost of living was
the dominating issue of the 1920
election that created. great politi-
cal turnover. If the cost of living
is comparably high in 1886, look for
political earthquakes.

FITTING OUT THE CHILDREN

American families do lot of buy
ing to fit their children out for
school. The ragged old suit and the
rusty shoes may do all right to play
ball in, but families hate to send
the children to school unless they
look fairly well. 1t is hard on John
ny and Mary to have to go in clothes
that look like a last years birds
nest. They feel inferior, and if they
feel so, they are apt to become so.
New clothes and shoes and other
things bought in the nice stores Of!
Milford will make those youngsters
feel lot better, and help them hold
up their heads in the world Their
better work will pay for the things
you do for them

THE SCHOOL OPPORTUNITY

The old saying has it that OppOr-
tunity knocks at least once at every
mans door. 1t does more than that.
1t knocks at the door of every Amer
lean child, or it did before the de-
preston closed some schools. 1t in
vites the youth to come to the open
schoolhouse, and learn some part of
the worlds wisdom.
If you fail to hear the knocking of
Opportunity few times, you some
how become unable to take advan-
tage of it. Theoretically a child at
school has an opportunity to learn
as long as he stays in that school.
But practically, if he falls much be-
hind the children of his age, his Op-
portunity begins to slip away.
The opening, of the schools of
Milford Tuesday for a new school
year suggests the thought that it is
a tragedy in the life of any family,
when the children or the parents
fail to make the best of these excel
lent opportunities.
Said Rev. T. Jones: MANY do
with opportunities at children do at
the seashOre. They fill their little
hands with sand and let the grains
fall through one by one, till all are
gone" Thus many have done with
the chances to learn which Ameri-
can schools give them.
The child from a neglected or in
different home enters school with (
heavy handicap. Still many thou
sands of children have come out of
such surroundings with the will to
learn, and they have learned, and
gone on to success.
Some parents encourage their /
to rebel at school discipline, |
Or are too much occupied with their {
own doings to encourage the children S
to study and learn. Such parents +
also refuse an opportunity to lift a
heir family life to higher level.
But the average American youth to- q
lay hears the knocking of Oppor- r
unity at his door. and gladly re- a
ponds when the school bell rings. q
