Show Plans Of State Building.

Fourteen architects competed in
the competitive drawings of resi-
dent and nonresident architects of
Delaware for new State and ad-
ministratioh building and present
ed them last week to the commits
sion
Many of the fourteen designs were
ornate and several were pronounced
really magnificent.
The commission adjourned until
Tuesday of this week, not only for
deliberation but to determine
whether the probable cost of the
buildings, complete will be thirteen
cents per cubic foot as one architect
declares, OF thirty cents per cubic
foot as the supervising architect ap-
pears to believe.
None of the commissioners is
supposed to know the name of the
architect submitting the respective
plans. Each plan is known by a
number and the corresponding
name to this number is in a sealed
envelope placed there by the secre-
tary of the commission who is not
voting on the acceptance Of either
plan.
One plan proposes a beautiful |
State House, all in one with the
administration building and the
tower in the centre. The specta-
tors who viewed these after the
commission had adjourned express
ed the opinion that the commission
had probably feared that this would
cost more than the $40, 900 at its
disposal. Another plan calls for a
colonial square Of buildings
and a new library, absolutely FIRE
proof, in the rear, 40 by so feet
and extending up two stories and
into a rOtunda. Practically all the
plans call for court yards, rotundas
Milford chronicle., 1909-10-01

and spacious corridors, with recep-
tion and private rooms for the
governor, six new Legislative COM
mittee rooms, from two to four new
Legislative cloak rooms and spac-
ious working rooms for the secre-
tary of State and State Treasurer
with vaults.
Governor Pennewill expressed
the opinion that he would be in
favor Of completing the building
outright, within the appropriation.

Save Seed Corn Now.

Everybody realizes that good
crop Of corn depends primarily up
on good seed. Everybody who is
up to date also appreciates the fact
that to get good seed it must be Sc
lected before freezing weather sets
in. October 10th is plenty late. Go
into the field, select the best ears
from the best stalks. Do it care
fully, for yield next year depends
upon your judgement in getting
corn that will grow ears Of as near
ly the ideal type as possible, and
the care you give these ears after
a selection. If you need only
small amount, tie these eats togeth-
er with binding twine. Tie them
to the rafters in the barn or rgranerY
until they are thoroughly dry. If
you have a large quantity, place 1t
in a drying house or some place
where the moisture will be remov-
ed before cold weather arrives.
The seed corn problem is Of the
importance, and the time
20 solve it is right now. DOM ne
ylect it under any circumstances.

The local society is small body, possessed Of scant means, and as the undertaking will entail considerable expense the idea was conceived that the churches might be glad to assist in degree in giving 50 worthy an association some financial aid. They have therefore asked the churches Of our city for staeeial contribution toward the ex- penses of this convention. Al the mid. week meeting last Thursday even ing IL was unanimously voted to ac- cede to the request Of these young men, and to give them our hearty sympathy In their undertaking. Acting upon this vote a special offering will be taken next sunday morning at the close of the service. It Is hoped that 4 generous response will be given.
 The ladies met according to appoint ment last Friday afternoon and packed the missionary barrel with articles that were brought While the people were generous in their contributions, there k yet space in the barrel to be filled. If any desire to add to this worthy cause the committee would be very glad to receive further contribu- tions. They will be al the church parlor next Friday afternoon at four o'clock,
