WILL HAVE NEW ICE PLANT
MiddIetown Farms Now Installing Ma.
chinerY...Their Business Growing

Workmen are now engaged in installing
machinery for an ice plant at the Middle
town Farms Creamery, and when the
work is completed, the creamery will have
plant with a capacity sufficient to supply
its own wants with cooling process and
make ice enough to supply the people of
our town. Messrs Cook & Brady had
this improvement in view when the plans
we're drawn for the new concrete building
and room 25x40 feet was reserved for
this purpose in the south wing. The
actual capacity of the plant will be eight
tons of ice per day, and it will be put in
operation sometime during the month of
May.
The Middletown Farms has the reputa-
ton Of doing all things il undertakes we'll
and it is safe to say the new ice plant will
be no exception to the general rule.
In connection with the large creamery
business conducted at the local plant, they
ice cream for the wholesale
trade and notwithstanding the fact that
this line of business was only added last
year, the output is enormous, and their
trade loud in its praise Of the quality Of
their product, and Messrs. Cook & Brady
are highly elated with the success they
have attained not only in Delaware, but
n other states where they ship large
quantities Of ice cream.
But the ice cream and ice plant are
only secondary to the output of this great
creamery, as butter and cream are its
chief products, and their fancy prints of
Acadia" and I'm. F." butter are fast
yaining q national reputation, and their
hyperion qualities are well known in all
arge cities of the East, and while the out
,ut is enormous the demand is constantly
rowing, and the large quantities Of milk
md cream received daily at the creamery
lere,and from the separators located in
Delaware and on the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland is not sufficient to supply their
rade.

BOTTLE LAW REMAINS
House at Dover Refuses to Repeal Law
Which HAS Caused Discussion

Which Has Caused Discussion
Dover, DEL, Feb. 18-By a vote o
l5 to IA, the House this morning killed
the Bottle Law repeater, commonly
known as the ''growler law which
measure was introduced in the House BY
Mr.. Pharo.
The bill killed was substitute which
did not prohibit the sale Of malt liquors
for the purpose Of being taken off the
premises of the dealer, and before the
vote was taken on the repeater the sub.
stitute was unanimously adopted.
An effort to have the substitute bill
amended so as to allow the sale Of spirit.
GUS liquors by wholesale dealers in quan.
titles down to half pint was made by
Mr.. Spruance before the vote was taken
on the repeater, but the attempt failed,
for twenty-eight members voted against
the amendment, and Mr.. Sprunace
was the only one to support it.
Before the vote was taken on the
amendment, Mr.. Brockson asked that
the sergeant-at-arms be requested to sum.
mon absent members, which was done,
but the sergeant returned with informa-
tion that he could find but three OF them.
Mr.. Spruance than discussed the amend
ment, saying that it was proposed to allow
wholesalers to sell liquor in quantities
down to half pint. At present they
cannot sell less than quart. Relative to
the substitute, he thought the Mechanic
ought to be protected in his right to buy
beer in pitchers and that there ought to
be some place where person could buy
liquor in quantities less than quart. He
asserted that it did not seem fair If it |
we're otherwise ina community that vot-
ed 4100 in favor of license. He said |
amendment was offered in good faith and
that he did not think it right and proper
unless the bill carried such provision.
Mr., Pharo said Mr. Spruance had told
him that the bill, if passed, would result
in transfer OF the bottle trade from the
retailer to the wholesaler, and Mr..
Spruance replied that while the passage
If the bill might bring about such con-
lition, he denied that such was its pur-
pose.
Mr.. Ainscow was opposed to the
and he declared that from
he viewpoint of Mr.. Spruance the saloons
night as well close. Speaking of the
saloons, he said they were
compelled to close at II o'clock at night
Ind that those who wanted drink after
hat hour went to clubs where they could
ret plenty of liquor.
The vote resulted as follows:
Ayes-Armstrong, Brockson, Ellison,
