All the talk about 'good roads"
will go for naught unless some one
person takes the position of initiative
and drafts plan for the people to
adopt and put into effect. Several
things are needed to bring about real
work and accomplish things alongl
building good roads in Delaware.
We believe firmly that the State
should create a highway between it's
northern boundry at Pennsylvania and
the southern boundry of Maryland.
1t would be better t. have the road
divide into prongs, at or near Dover,
and pass through lower Kent and
Sussex. Were this accomplished,
the counties would Don see the ad-
vantage of good roads, and build
lateral roads to connect with this

The pastor preached on Sunday
morning to a large congregation.
His subject was "Anchors, Heb.

sermon. The thoughts derived from
the subject were unique and beauti-
full. All knew what anchors were
but few knew that they were used
in storm, in calm and in darkness.
The anchor mentioned in the text is
the hook anchor and it is cast within
the vail. We all need a haven of
rest. Christ is the anchor of the
soul. In the evening at 7.30 the
pastor took for his subject, 'What
there is in a Face" The text was

STUFFED SPANISH ONIONS.

Stuffed onions are always good. The large Spanish onions are the best for stuffing. Peel the onions and scoop out, from the top, portion of the center. Parboil them for five minutes and turn them upside down to drain. Make the stuffing of equal parts of minced chicken Cor meat), soft bread crumbs and the chopped onion taken from the center. Season with salt and pepper and moisten with melted but ter. Fiji the onions heaping full and sprinkle the tops with crumbs Place them in pan with an inch of water: cover and allow them to cook in an oven for an hour or until tender, but not so long that they will lose shape. Take off the cover during the last five minutes. so they will brown very slightly.
