have Individual Drinking Cups.

Perhaps one OF the greatest move.
ments toward the prevention Of disease
among the children Of the public schools
is the institution OF the individual
drinking cup. This prevention is being
installed in about all the public schools
Of the State and is most highly COM
nended by expert medical authorities.
The schools Of Milford which opened
on Wednesday, has adopted this rule
and every scholar in attendance is asked
to furnish an individual cup. These
cups are kept in their desks and no one
but the owner is allowed to drink there
from. This is a step in the direction Of
insuring healthy students and the
Board Of Education and the teachers
should be helped to carry the decree
into effect.

Tomato Crop AZ Its Heighth.

Wagons loaded with tomatoes have
thronged the approaches to the four
csnneries in Milford, and also to the
boats and cars where they are loaded
for shipment 1t is a common sight in
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and
the eastern part Of Virginia. but in no
other part or parts Of the United States
are the same sights to be witnessed.
During the ripeniHg season of tomatoes
it is no infTequent sight to see one hun.
dFed wagons waiting in line loaded with
as many tons Of this splendid fruit, or
vegetable on the contrary it is usual.
The crop brings several hundreds o.
thousands Of dollars to the growers
alone, not to mention the many more
thousands paid for labor, for boxes. for
cans, for labels and for freighs. The
success or failure Of the tomato crop 10
the Delaware Maryland Peninsula out
weighs the peach crop many times over.

high Class Entertainments for Milford.

Through the desire to accommodate
those who may desire to have a high
grade Of local entertainments given
through the fall and winter season ap
preaching, T. J. Quinn, a former pro-
fessiOnal actor, who has bought the
Humphreys farm just east from Mil.
ford, will with his wife, who also is a
professional actress, have offered to as
sist and coach the local talent OF Mil.
ford, in a series OF theatricals on a scale
never before attempted here. Mrs.
Quinn g stage name was "Miss Florence
Lytell," " and it is with only a desire to
aid in rendering high grade plays that
they volunteer their services. It is in
tended that the first Of these entertain
m ents be arranged for the later part Of
October, or the first Of November. We
have considerable talent in Milford
which, with the coaching Of an exper.
fenced actor. are capable OF presenting
even Shakespearian plays. We sug-
gest that it would be a very proper
thing to do, to arrange to give the first
entertainment Of the series for the
benefit Of the Town Clock Fund. Now
get busy.
