La Verriere
A w WelcO1ne
Sight
Big Yacht Arrived Iester-
day; Here for the
Summer

A familiar and welcome sight
was the yacht La Verriere II when
she tied up at the Riverside yacht
piers yesterday afternoon around
4::30 o'clock.
The yacht was familiar sight
because her gray hull and her
massiveness became well known
here last fall when she stayed here
for several months. She was a well
come sight for several reasons.
One reason Elizabeth City was
glad to see the La Verriere II was
because her master, Capt. Ed
Charming, made many friends
here last fall, as also did several
of his crew.
She was a welcome sight to
tradesmen because of the large
amount cf money she leaves in
the town. The yacht will probably
be here all summer and will leave

Fight For Economies In

Cut Farm Activity

Big Increase In Relief
Expenditures

Washington, April 81. - UR --
President Roosevelt broke even in
two tits with congress over his
new economy drive today as pow
erfulb locs threatened the pro-
gram with demands for multi
million dollar flood control ex-
penditures and a $l,000,000, 900
increase in the proposed work
relief appropriation.
Meantime, the heads of two
government departments reacted
sharply to Mr.. Roosevelt's rigid
orders for economy in an attempt
to balance the budget during the
1888 fiscal year.
Cut Farm Activities
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace forecast an immediate
curtailment of the adminiStra-
tion's farm activities. Federal aid
to farm tenants, production con-
troll ana the eVer-nOrmal SrdIldTy
are among the projects to feel the

still hopeful that the crop insur-
ance program, to be applied to
the 1888 wheat yield, may be SAL
vaged.
Secretary of Commerce Daniel
C. Roper and his first assistant,
Ernest Draper, joined in predict
ing that business recovery will
not be retarded by the apparent

THE INDIFFERENT SALESMAN

There used to be a Type OF sales
person in stores and other places OF
business, who would not take much
pains to please his customers. If
they wanted advice ON some problem
connected with the goods they were
buying, these salespeople were too
busy to bother with such questions.
They thought it was up to the GUS
toner to figure it out for himself,
and they wouldn't waste their val
liable time looking into such ques-
tions, which they thought were us
ually foolish.
That type of salesman is not Of
ten seen now. certainly not in Mil
ford. The way to get and hold bust
ness is to show keen interest in any
thing that any customer wants to say
about merchandise, or any questions
he may wish to ask. The statesmen
who can give this careful attention
to any question growing out of the
use of goods, is the one to whom
people resort when they have money
to spend.

THE NERVOUS CUNTS

The famous Dionne quintuplets
are recovering well from slight colds
but are reported as having irritable
and nervous dispositions.
Throngs of tourists have gathered
to see these famous infants. These
children have been handled with ex-
cellent Judgment and perfect kind
ness, and sheltered from public gaze
as much as possible. Still. they may
be conscious that people are looking
at them. Constant attention to their
needs may make them feel that their
happiness is all important. They
may get the idea that they should
rule the world, and lose their tenn
pers if they can't.
Many children in Delaware are
irritable. Parents try to give their
children all possible attention, but
they sometimes oyerdo this affection
ate care. When everyone jumps to
make the kidlets happy, they have
way of becoming too bossy.

MlaRk al IAn.

There is crop of around 4.eo0,-
900 bales of cotton in Texas, and that
great state is in need of cotton pick
ers. II people are capable of doing
days work, the cotton fields are
calling them. In one town at least
lcafers have been notified to go into
the cotton fields or go to jail.
There are great crops to harvest
this year all over the land. A vast
army of workers, previously idle,
should find opportunity. Some will
say the sun is too hot or their backs
too weak. May be so, only they
should look out that the disease from
which they suffer is not mere lazi-
ness.
Some people spend so much time
thinking what they would do with a
purse of money if they found it in
the road. or how they would spend a
million dollars if they had it, that
they never learn how much happi
ness can come from earning money
and getting the things it can buy.

TREATIES SCRAPS OF PAPER!

Thirty-seven nations have agreed
to the recent statement made by Sec
retary of State Hull. that to preserve
peace, treaties must be rigidly re-
garded, obligations must be main
tanned, commercial barriers must be
shattered, and armaments reduced.
Germany, Italy and Japan do not
reply to these statements, indicating
they do not think so highly of them.
Opinions will differ as to how far
commercial barriers should be shat
tered. If nations say that treaties are
only scraps of paper. to be torn up
when the agreements become burden
some, the world will do some fight
ing before many years. The man
who goes back ON his agreements
finds himself in Jail. The
nation that tears up its treaties will
be looked at as a kind of interna-
t:Onal bandit.

TOO MUCH GOLD BOARDING

Six members of the banking and
currency committee of the national
house of Representatives have is
sued protest against the govern
ment policy of buying and boarding
gold. The United States by its gold
buying policy has accumulated a
great heap of gold amounting to
about 12,5OO. 900, 900, or more than
half the monetary gold in the world.
L. has to borrow money and pay in
terest on the loans to keep up this
buying plan.
What good is all this gold doing?
Why not take half of it, and pay of
a sizable chunk of the government
debt?" is the question many will
ask. 1t doesn't seem of any use
while hidden away in the govern
ment's great tomb-like vaults.

HANDWRITING AND CHARACTER

A professor of psychology at the
university of Kentucky advises that
you cant judge a mans character by
his handwriting. Tests conducted by
his classes have indicated that hand
writing is not an accurate measure
OF peoples character. Yet he would
not probably deny that you can get
some impressions on a person by
the kind of letter that he writes.
If you judged some highly success
full and famous people by their hand
writing, you would have to conclude
that they were slipshOd and careless.
This observation should not lead the
boys and girls to think that hand
writing and penmanship are unim-
portant. If in applying for a job,
one writes in a scrawly and illegible
way, the boss will probably say that
the candidate lacks thOroughness
and accuracy and cannot be de-
pended upon to do competent work.

4H Membership Gr0Us

One of the most hopeful signs for
the future of agriculture, the Michi-
gan Farmer points out, is that the
enrolment in All clubs passed the
million mark for the first time, in
1886. Membership continues to in
crease.
The young men and women who
join the All will be the producers of
tomorrow. In their club work, they
are instructed in new methods and
techniques that make 1t possible for
the farmer TO raise larger crops and
earn greater return. They are Civ
en- an opportunity to develop quail
ties of leadership that will prove in
valuable to them In the future-for
example. in the agricultural cooper
ative movement which is constantly
growing In size and economic and
social significance. In brief, they are
wisely making careers of farming.

SCHOOL CROWDTNG LEssENs

For many years the American peo-
pie have had to worry about building
schoolhouses. The school popula-
ton has kept increasing. pupils have
stayed in school longer and cries OF
lament about crowded schoolhouses
have gone up all over the land.
The number of first grade pupils
in the country has now fallen off
nearly 25 per cent. Families. have
fewer children, and the healthy i'm
big families have largely ceased to
come, The days of schoolhouse
crowding are probably over. What
will be needed most is not more
buildings, but the most competent
teachers. who shall make the chill
dren want to learn and teach them it
pays to be honest and clesh.

STORING UP CASH

A new plan to head off depres-
sions is proposed by the business
advisory council of the u. S. COM
merce department. The idea is to
store mp reserves in the treasury
during good times, which would be
used in hard times to construct pub
lie works and employ idle labor.
Under this plan. $50O,0OO.OOO to ST.
600 100000 a year might be stored
away in the treasury, for use when
business slows down.
This might be very good plan, II
the government were out OF DEBT
But it hardly seems practical at
time when your Uncle Samuel owes
s36 900, ,OOO,O 900. The first thing in
sight is to pay OFF that debt. Uncle
Sam has a reputation as a free spend
er and liberal borrower. 1t doesn't
do him any good to feel that a $780,
600, ,OOO. 900 debt is kind of airy tri-
fie which can be disregarded.
Expenses ought to be so cut down,
and taxes raised if necessary, that
$4,000, ,OO0, 900, a year could be paid
OIL that debt. Under that plan 1t
would take at least IS years to get
clear of this heavy load. Once that
debt is paid of, the American people
should say Never again."
1t is one thing to formulate excel
lent plans about storing up cash, and
another to prevent the congresses of
future years from spending money
thus saved. If there were few bill
lions lying around loose in the treas
ury. the clamor to have that money
spent at once would drown out Ma
CARA Falls. 1t would be argued that
almost any old kind of year was
period of depression when the money
was needed. Keeping that cash in
storage would be like keeping the
cookie jar full in a large family OF
children - = = 49,

HIGH TIDE OF SUMNER

There is something wonderfully
rich in the face of Nature as sum
mer draws toward its close. The
fields have labored and brought forth
to their utmost. Great waving areas
OF grain smile and CLEAN in the sun.
Heaps of colorful vegetables and
fruits appear in the orchards and the
gardens. and create pictures more
glowing than those produced by any
artist.
Flowers of every shade blossom in
the home lots and the fields. The

There has been given one more de-
monstration of the enormous re-
sources of our world.
There is abundance here for all.
Only man in his ignorance and his

ness, so that many people are still
poor and struggling and suffering.

Penuel and two children. Virginia
and Irene, were in the kitchen when
they noticed the wind began to blow
and in less than three minutes the
house was lifted from over them,
leaving only the floor Of the house.
The family was left unharmed. II
seemed only a miracle that they es-
capped being hurt. One part OF the
house was lifted and moved eight
foot from its foundation. The back
end of the house was lifted and put
down by the wind twenty feet from
its foundation. No other buildings
ON the farm were blown down ex-
cept the meat house, which was near
the dwelling. Some large naples in
the yard were torn in pieces. NO
other damage was reported in the
neighborhood except some trees
blown down.
Crowds of people from miles
around are coming to view the ruins.
Mr.. and Mrs. Penuel have the
sympathy of the entire community.

PURCHASING POWER

1t is constantly remarked that
means must be taken for increasing
the purchasing power of the peo-
pie. Prosperity for our business
system and welfare for the people
depend upon providing enough mon
ey for the people so they can buy
the products of industry.
The same principle applies to the
welfare and prosperity of cities and
towns. They must have purchasing
power. or they won't get anywhere.
One way to waste and dissipate that
purchasing power is to spend money
out of town. That depletes home
town business, it impairs the ability
OF the home town people to operate
stores and employ workers. To pro-
duce purchasing power in COM
munity, spend your money at home.

COMMUNICATED
Milford Delaware,
AnQlfsf Ia 1927

Milford Delaware,
August IA, 1887.
The Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Editor:-
AS a new Armory for Milford is an
assured fact, and will be built, I was
wonderig if any thought had been
given to the matter of naming this
building. New Castle has its Van
Dyke Armory, Camden and Wyoming
its Caesar Rodney School, as well as
Frankford and Dagsboro its John M
Clayton School, each named for IL
lustrious sons of Delaware.
II occurred to me a few days ago
while reading of the excellent record
Milford's Battery was making at
Camp McMullen, that there were
others who had passed on, that had
rendered valuable service in laying
the foundation of what is now our
present National Guard of Delaware,
as well as rendering valuable public
service in the community In which
they lived. / refer to the late Col.
George W. Marshall and Col. Theo-
dore Townsend. of the old FIRST Del
aware Infantry. Both residents of
Milford.
These gentlemen need no introduc-
ton to the citizens of this vicinity.
Milford, with its excellent light and
water systems as well as the city
government of Milford, owe q debt Of
gratitude to each of these gentlemen.
Their outstanding ability and serv-
ice was not only recognized here,
but throughout the entire State.
In the August 11th issue of the
Journal-Every Evening under a
heading "Delaware's Military Dis
play of fifty years ago" gentleman
who many of know as authority on
matters pertaining to Delaware, who
signs A. o. H. G., says Milford as l
recall. supplied two capable com
manding officers for the Regiment
during much of the period l have in
mind. | refer to DR.. George w. Mar
shall and Col. Theodore Townsend"
Now Mr.. Editor why not name
this building the
MARSHALL-TOWNSEND ARMORY
in honor of two illustrrous sons who
did much for National Guard OF Del
aware. The State of Delaware and
the City of Milford.
| believe this can be accomplished |
if taken up with the proper anthori- |
ties.
Very truly yours,
A VETERAN.
