After Marriage Outlook

The newspaper joker has a
crack about the wife who com
planned that her husband did not
give her presents the way he did
before they were married. To
which the husband replied that
she never heard of fisherman
giving bait to a fish after he had
caught it.
That is a hard boiled view of
matrimony. but it is not SO far
from the attitude of many hus-
bands. They do not keep giving
the wife the same attentions. she
got during the rosy days of their
engagement. They have settled
down to an unromantic life, and
the wife feels heart pangs.
In many cases this cooling of af-
fection leads to hard words and
the divorce court. Anyway, it is
apt to take the joy out Of the mar
ried life. Husbands here in Mil
ford should realize that their
counting days should never end,
Keep making the presents and
saying the nice things, and life
will be sweeter.

The InAation Peril

Henry Morgenthau, secretary of
the treasury, warned the country
in q recent address that the danger
of imitation faces the nation. The
public has heard this warning
many times, and most people can't
seem to understand what imitation
would mean to them. The common
public attitude is that 1--WE
shonld worry"
Inflation's first effect on the pub
lie is to create great advances in
prices and the cost of living. The
worlds worst imitation occurred in
Germany following the World War,
when the government issued vast
quantities of paper money. The
result was that in October, 1928,
1t took over 4OO. 100000 German
marks to be worth an American
dollar. Previous to the war a
German mark had been worth
about "a cents in American money.
While nothing so extreme can
be anticipated in the United
States, it is a suggestion that
when the government and the peo-
pie pay their debts in unsecured
paper money, their money may be-
come OF relatively little value.
Scarcities of commodities and
merchandise create imitation. If
people find it difficult to obtain the
things they want, they bid up
prices and the cost Of living goes
up. Advances in production costs
create imitation. When production
costs rise, prices go up, and then
labor demands more pay. Usually
prices go up faster than wages. A
serious infiationary situation de-
moralizes business, many concerns
fail, debts are defaulted, and busi-
mes chaos throws vast numbers Of
people out of work.
There is one good way for the
American people to avoid the suf-
fering of imitation. That is to in
vest a good pant of their earnings
in defense bonds, so they will not
be tempted to bid up prices of
goods to a dangerous level.

rHERE,s A MORAL no THIS

To. Borrowers of Newspapers
Once upon a time there was q
man who was SO stingy he would
not subscribe to his local news
paper, depending upon borrowing
from his neighbors. One morning
when he was rushing over to his
neighbors to borrow the local pa
per, he ran into a hive of bees, and
in ten minutes looked like a warty
summer squash. While running
from the bees he failed to notice a
barbed wire fence into which. he
collided, knocking down the fence,
tearing his flesh and running $500
pair of pants.
His wife who was home churn-
ing cream heard his cries and ran
to his assistance. In her hurry she
broke a $4,000 pair OF glasses and
lost her false teeth. The baby, left
in the room alone, upset the five
gallon churn of cream into a bas-
ket of 13 kittens, drowning the
whole flock, messed up its clothes
and ruined $500 rug, The old
COW took advantage Of the hole in
the fence and killed herself eating
green corn in the corn field, the
hired man ran away with the old
est daughter and the dogs broke up
a dozen setting hens and finally
the calves got out and chewed the
tails off of IL fine shirts hanging on
the wash line.
MORAL: Send in your $1.5O to
the Chronicle and take no chances
on borrowing your neighbor's news
paper.

UncIe's Big Pay Check

Uncle Sam is apparently having
a bigger income this year than
ever before. The income paid out
in July was on the basis of an an
nual income of $4,000, ,eOO, 900, the
highest on record.
Now Uncle Sam should look out
how he spends this money. If he
just blows it in and has nothing
to show for it afterward, he will
regret it. He has way of think
ing when good times come, that
they are going to last forever.
They never do. There are lean
days as well as fat ones, and rainy
days as well as sunshine. When
the clouds gather again, he will
wish he had saved more of that
money.

Canning Plant OF Former
U. s. Senator Townsend
Threatened By Fire

Fire of undetermined origin
broke out Tuesday afternoon in
the canning plant of j. G. Town
sen, Jr., and Company, North Race
street, this city, while the laborers
were eating their noon-day lunch
con, and did damage estimated to
be about 5000 in the engine spom
of the plant The fire is said to
have been discovered in the roof
of the engine room by some of the
employees, and it had made rapid
headway before firemen received
the call. They made a record run
TO the scene and pressed two fire
engines into service for more than
half hour before the flames could
be fully gotten under control. The
blaze was beneath a galvanized
roof and was hard to fight. The
canning plant, owned by former U.
S. Senator John @. Townsend, Jr,,
OF Selbyville, and his son, Julian
E. Townsend, North Bedford street,
this city, was engaged in packing
lima beans, employing a large
force of women and men. The
flames were subdued in time for
them to resume work about half
an hour late. Some of the plants
machinery, it is said, was damaged. |

Biggest Employment Ever

Biggest Employment Ever
Figures Of employment for June
indicate that the number of people
at work was over 5S,O00.O 900, which
is the highest on record. With the
expansion of the defense indus
tries, the number is probably con-
siderably more than that now.
With such a vast number of
jobs, it would seem that there
should be work for nearly every
one who has some form of skill.
1t would seem that most Of the
unskiiled workers should find en-
pioyment on farm, road, and con-
struction jobs.
If after all the demands for these
types of labor, there are still un-
employed people, what most of
them need is training for some
kind of skilled work. If the un-
skilled workers were all trained,
IL would seem that heavy appro-
priations for relief would not be
needed, except for those who are
,incapaeitated by age or physical
inability.
