DAY
IN MILFORD
WEDNESDAY
Thousands Expected To
Attend Great Bargain
Festival.
Many OF The StOremen
Cooperating To Make
Day Successful.

Next Wednesday, August Is, will
be observed as Dollar Day in Mil
ford, sponsored by majority of the
merchants. Plans are nearing COM
pletion for a mammoth bargain day.
Huge stocks of fresh, up-to-the-
minute merchandise will be placed
on sale at attractive prices. The To-
cal police force is cooperating with
the merchants, and are prepared to
see that the many out-of-town shop
pers who make Milford their head
quarters on Wednesday next receive
all considerations due honored
guests.
Last year the merchants of Mil
ford held their first Dollar Day since
1881. They were richly awarded be-
cause they endeavored to give the
public real bargains. These same
merchants, together with few new
members will try to see that the
buying public of Milford and vicin-
ity again receive the best obtainable
in merchandise at a moderate cost.
An idea of the thousands of bar
gains to be had on Dollar Day may
be gained by a careful perusal of
the advertisements appearing In this
issue of the Chronicle.
The stores will open at the usual
hour and will remain open until six
o'clock, but will not be open In the
evening.
The old adage about first come,
first served might well be applied to
Dollar Day, for the first shoppers
to come to Milford on Wednesday
morning will have the chance of
making first selections from the my
riads of offered specials. However.
the Milford merchants, noted for
their foresight. have left nothing 70
chance, ana everyone should find
bargains right up to closing time.
The following merchants are CO..
to make Dollar Day sue
cess: Warren and Gibson, Peter
mans, Barros and Cohen, Grants
Derrickson's, Penney's, Garrett L.
Grier, Coffman-Fisher Company.

s35O,OOO DUE STATE
UNDER HOUSE ACT
Sum Represents Rebate on Money
Paid By Employers

Delaware is scheduled shortly to
receive a rebate of some SS5O,O0O
from the federal government as a
starter for the states compensation
fund.
The estimate was made Wednesday
night by James NJ. Rosbrow, admins
trative assistant of the Delaware
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission, after the House of Repre-
sentatives in Washington had author
lied an appropriation of about $780,
100000 for rebates to states which
were late in complying with the So
cial security act.
Thirteen States Affected
Thirteen states and two non-con-
tiguous territories Alaska and
Hawaii-are affected. Because they
failed to enact unemployment in
surance laws by Dec. 81, 1886, en-
ployers covered by the federal social
security act were compelled to pay
into the United States Treasury 100
per cent of the unemployment in
surance tax.
Those in states which met the
deadline paid 80 per cent of the tax
into their state treasures and only
10 per cent to the federal govern

STATE LIMA BEAN
CROP PROMISING
Canning Plants In Lower Delaware
Start Annual Pack

Canning plants throughout lower
Delaware have started packing the
lima bean crop. which rapidly is ma
turing. Indications are that the
growers are going to make some
money, and that the yield will be
large. provided weather conditions
within the next eight weeks are con-
ducive. The acreage is so planted
that the entire crop does not mature
at once. Usually fields are planted
about ten days to two weeks part.
This enables the canneries to oper-
ate and at the same time give the
growers a chance to stretch out the
crop and realize much more from 1t
than if they had planted the entire
crop at one time. Some growers will
pick from now until the early fall
frosts.
In some localities. growers are
complaining about the destructive
ness of the Japanese beetle; but they
are overcoming the pests and little
trouble is anticipated from now I'M
til the close of the season. They are
watching their fields carefully and
are busting them.
