MILFORD SCHOOL SITE sOUABBLE.
Matter Taken up for Consideration by
Chancellor Nicholson on Thursday

The souabble among the tOwnspeOple
of Milford, over the site for the erec-
tion of their handsome new high school
building, ca ne up before Chancellor
Nicholson Thursday. The matter
came before the head of the Judiciary
on a restraining order recently secured
bv Charles Humphreys and other
citizens of Milford, enjoining the
Board of Education from proceed
ing with its building operations
upon the site which it has selec-
ted and purposed This is known
as the Pratt tract, and contains five
acres in the northern section of the
town which is likely to become a sec
ton of new residence. Herbert II.
Ward of Wilmington, represented
Humphreys, DIR. G. Layton Grier and
DR.. Frank Grier and others in their
contention that to locate building so
remote would be a detriment to the
cause of education and rebuff and un-
Just treatment of the people in theirs,
the southern section of town.
Henry Ridgely, Jr., for the Board of
Education and other citizens, claimed
that it was the most available site in the
town for school purposes and all indica-
tiOns pointed to its being a popular
building centre. and that it was only
objected to because the new building
would be especially desirable to those
owning property in the southern sec
ton of the town and a hardship on the
board and the other residents would
result from the chancelor's continuing
the restraint upon the board.

PROLIFIC OUNCE ORCHARD IN KENT.
Said to be the Only One Of Ounce In th'
State and Bears Abundantly.

J. Burton Wharton, who lives on the
bay road farm, formerly occupied by
his father, John B. Wharton, has
probably the only large ounce orchard
in the state, certainly the only ounce
orchard in Kent county. The most
interesting qualification of the orchard
to Mr.. Wharton, aside from its oddity,
is that it is fairly loaded with blossoms,
and from the 200 trees he expects to
pick about 300 or 400 baskets of fine
fruit. Ounce farming is not INDUCED
in to any extent in the East, and this,
and for the reason that the fruit is
always preserved, it always commands
good price, never becoming drug
on the market, and always selling
rapidly. The consumer who gets q
fair sample of home preserved quincet
for dessert after a good dinner, usually
acknowledges that this kind of frui
occupies position in class by itself
incompatible to other preserves ol
conserved fruit.

THE PRETTIEST SPOT IN DOVER.
Campus of Wilmington Conference Academy
Attracts Much Attention.

The State street campus of the Will
mington Conference Academy this
month is said to be the prettiest spot
IN Delaware. Beautifully shaded and
covered with magnificent green sward
it is certainly picture for poet when
about three score of the jauntily-dres-
sed young women from the big Meth
odist school get out for evening exer-
else upon the tennis and croquet courts.
They are usually joined by some of the
boys, with their uniforms of red
sweaters and white trousers, giving
the place a Morris Park air that causes
the passer-by to stop and look and
give still another look before getting
beyond that particular square. That
section of State street, however, will
look even more charming in a fortnight
when the beautiful home park of Mrs
Harry A. Richardson adjoining the
home of the Dover capitalist and al
most opposite the Academy, is finished

Last Saturday afternoon, from 3 to ,, Mrs. R. R. Hubbard entertained mum. Der of her lady friends at Vegetable Party. Each lady invited was requested to bring large, irregular potato, and consequently an assortment of the very largest, we'll scrubbed potatoes appear ed.
 Each lady was handed slip of paper containing a list of twenty common vegetables, that is, the letters to com pose the word were all there, but the arrangement was peculiar. Below we give the list as it appeared, and also as it was correctly interpreted:
 1-Ihcakroet 1-Artichoke
 2-Atubarga 2-Rutabaga
 3-Ppnsari 3-Parsnip
 4-Ryelec 4-Celery

 Twenty minutes were allowed for the solution of the problem and at the end of that time it was found that Mrs. l.. Raymond and Mrs. Chas. A. Hopp had each answered IS correctly. The mat ter was left to chance and, Mrs. Hopp being the lucky one, was awarded the prize, beautiful manicure set.
 After this momentous question had been amicably decided the hostess serv- ed lunch, consisting of sandwiches, cake, sherbet and coffee.
 After this five of the hand-scrubbed potatoes previously alluded to were laid on the floor in one end of the room, each lady was given small spoon and told to pick up the potatoes one at a time with the spoon and carry them across the room and deposit them in a bowl placed on table. This stupend- ous feat was accomplished amid much merriment by six of the ladies, and again the element of chance was called in to decide as to the respective agility of the contestants. Mrs. Chas. A. Hopp was again the lucky one and the prize, consisting of all the potatoes, the winner was expected to carry home The editors family is now supplied with spuds enough to last until after St. Patrick's Day.
 A stuffed potato was then produced, which was carved after some difficulty, and found to contain fourteen ounces of absorbent cotton and F small doll babies which were distributed among the guests.
 Among those present were:
 Mrs. Walter Gould, Mrs. Edw. Sverd- sten, Mrs. Leonard Raymond, Mrs. Jno. Feusi, Mrs. James W. Daniels, Mrs. J. N. Stoody, Mrs. Ida Atwood, Mrs. Ad- nm Hopp, Mrs, CLas. A. Hopp.
