ALPHA PHI ENTERTAINMENT.

The members Of the Alpha Phi Liter
sry Society OF the Milford High School
gave q very interesting entertainment
last Monday evening. All the partici-
pants deserve creditable mention. 1t
is certainly strange that the people OF
Milford will spend their good money
for every minstrel show or common
play that comes to town, but let there
be an entertainment such as the one
Monday evening. which was for a good
cause, and a very slim audience put in
its appearance. Milf, ri has a good high
school, aud one OF which the towns
people shpuld be proud, but very little
encouragement is given the pupils by
the older people when they try to arouse
public interest in the school, Your
presence would greatly encourage your
children, parents, so why not help
them out in their school affairs.

OIL WAGON EXPLODED.

/ Last Saturday morning the people
Of Milford were alarmed by the force Of
the explosion Of one Of the oil wagons
owned by the Standard Oil Company.
The plugs in the wagon were frozen
hard and the oil people were trying to
thaw them out with torches. The heat
from the torches caused the contents OF
the tank wagon to explode, splinter the
drivers seat, tear away the top, and
blow out the front end Of the tank.
Edward Carpenter, the driver, was on
the wagon at the time, but strange as
it would seem, was only slightly hurt.
A pair OF horses, and a pair ofimules
which were hitched to the wagon were
uninjured.

OF The STATE GRANGE

Prosperous farmers from all parts of
Delaware assembled at Dover last Mon
day morning, when the annual session
Of the State Grange was opened, to
continue three days. S. Harrington
Messick, OF Bridgeville, Worthy Mas
ter, presided.

dress, a most interesting message deal
ing with topics live to the farmer, fruit
grower and shipper. Mr.. Meksick re-
corded q most successful yesI for the
Changers. He lauded the pursuit Of
agriculture. and showed that in Della
ware the increase OF farms aud farmers
is eleven per cent. the past decade,
while other states show that the cities
have increased at the cost Of the cOun
try. Probably no other section OF our
country enjoys a more promising out
look than our own state" says Mr..
Messick.
The Worthy Master emphasized the
benefits to be derived from cooperative
buying and selling. Under the subject
Of trans pOrtatiOn Mr.. Messick points
ont tha, the railroads are willing to
hear the Oranges committee on trans
portation at any time, aud he thought
there is no better agency Of bringing
grievances or allegations to the atten-
tion Of the railroads than through the
Grange committee.
Mr.. Messick advocates good roads
throughout the State and points out
how the good roads automobile trucks
NAV be used in delivering farm pro-
duce. He urges the Grange to exert
it's influence for good roads.
Mr.. Messick expresses a belief that
evils Of intempersnce are reduced Ia
the counties that went dry" and says
any backward steps by law or other
wise should be opposed.
Mr.. Messick observes that Delaware
College is progressing In normal man.
ner. and he praised the agricultural de-
partment. He urges all Grangers to
support the agricultural part Of the col
lege and to send their sons there. He
suggests that the State Grange OtfeI
three yearly scholarships, one from each
county to be awarded for excellence in
agricultural subjects in the two or foul
wear courses at the college.

JUDGE HASTINGS RESIGNS
HIS PLACE ON The Bench

A letter written to Governor Pennewill
last Saturday in which he rendered his
resignation as Judge was made public last
Tuesday. Il is as follows:
wilmington, Del, Dec. 10, 1910.
"HOn. Simeon S. Pennewill, Governor OF
Delaware, Dover, Del.
"Mv Dear Governor Pennewlll 1
hereby tender you my resignation as AS
sociate Judge of the state of Delaware,
resident in New Castle county, to take ei-
feet upon the adjournment of the Supreme
Court for the day, on Tuesday, January
Is, 1911, or as soon thereafter as my sue
cessor can be appointed and confirmed
"While | assume that it is hardly nee
essary for me to explain here my reasons
for resigning, / will repeat that which l
have said to you many times personally
with respect to my remaining on the
bench. The fear l expressed to you at the
time | accepted the office has been fully
realized, namely, that the salary would
not be sufficient for me to maintain
house in Wilmington and support my
family as the same should be maintained
and supported. The only man who can
afford to accept this office is he who has
no family to support or who has been able
to accumulate something in the past the
income of which will make substantial
addition to the salary.
'sThe responsibility and the honor
which 20 with the position / now occupy
are sufficient to satisfy my ambitions as a
lawyer, and my personal relations with
nv associates on the Bench are so pleasant
that a severance from them in an official
wav brings to me a sorrow which will be
everlasting. My resignation therefore, if
not matter Of choice it is one of neces.
sity.
hI must again express to you my very
sincere appreciation of the confidence you
have placed in me, and to assure you that
have done what l could to make myself
worthy Of it,
"With kindest regards and best wishes,
remain, "Yours sincerely,
"Daniel o. Hastings"
When asked about the matter Judge
Hastings said that his whole reason for
resigning was given in his letter to the
Governor.

FEED THE BIRDS.

The heavy SHOWS have made 1t hard
for wild birds to find feed, and this is
especially true Of quail. OF course the
laws protect them from hunters during
the time when snow covers the ground,
but it would be we'll for all farmers to
feed these birds for other than sporting
reasons first, they are great consumers
Of insects and grubs that destroy grain
crops in the spring and summer sea-
sons, and that alone should be sufficient
for any progressive farmer to give the
time and feed necessary to provide for
the needs Of few quail.
