COUNCIL TO EXTEND WALK
HAM|LTON'S LANE TO LAKE
WEST SIDE OF MAIN STREET,
FROM CATT'S LOT TO BE PAVED
Council Issues the Customary Notice
to Owners to Have Work Done
Much Needed improvement

In line with the improvements
ordered to the streets and pavements
recently, Smyrna Town Council at
it's regular meeting Friday evening
decided to take some action with re-
gard to the laying of a gutter, curb
ing and pavement in front of the
"Catts' Lot" on the west side of
Main street between Hamilton's
Lane and Lake Como. This has
long heen the wish and desire of
citizens of Smyrna, especially the
strollers to and from the Lake who
have been required TO cross over on
the other side Of the street after
reaching Chestnut. Council had
hoped to see this work done last
Fall when such decided improve
ment was made to the pavements
and cutters at that end of the town.
The matter was delayed and this
year Council has taken the question
ur again with the purpose of not
only having the front of the Gait
lot improved, but other pavements
as we'll. The usual 3O-day notice:
have been issued. Council is hoping
to get the work completed as soon a!
possible. The survey has beer
made at the standpipe and the Stree
Committee will see to the building
of coping around the tower. TIL,
Civic Committee of the Century Clul
is cooperating with them in thi
improvement. Councilman Lloy'
raised the point that the law regu
lating the muzzling of dogs was yer
, lax and that more strict enforce
ment should be made. Other mem
bers viewed the matter in the sam
way that Mr.. Lloyd did and espeC
| tally condemned the use of leathe
? muzzles which were far from bein
satisfactory. In number of cases
owners of dogs allowed the muzzl
e to dangle from the dogs neck ar
, think they are complying with til
y law. Dogs hereafter, must be 'stric
ly muzzled'' and Alderman Gro
and Officer Cummins were so not
: fed. Council adjourned after a
h lowing bills to the amount
S381.00. Alderman Crows repo
for the month of May showed S32.

lege Taking Up Work, Some of
Whom Have Fine Positions
Their college days over, six Smyrna
boys, members of the graduating
class of 1911 of Delaware College,
are preparing to take up duties in
their various lines of future work.
L. Irving Handy, Jr., son of Former
Congressman and Mrs. L. Irving
Handy, has accepted a position for
the summer at least, in the Engi-
neering Department of the New York
Central Railroad; John VanGasken
Postles, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
E. Postles, has accepted a position
with the United Gas Improvement
Company of Philadelphia, as assis-
tant enigneer; Irving Walls, son of
Senator aud Mrs. Edward G. Walls,
will for the present become associat-
ed with his father in the large
clothing store; Horace Evans Spru-
ance, son of Register of Wills Edgar
Spruance, and Davis Hankins Bell,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. E. c. Bell,
have not secured permanent posi-
tions as yet and will remain home
until an opportunity turns up. Two
Smyrna boys who were graduated in
the agricultural course have both
been offered excellent posts as
teachers in institutions for the teach
ing of scientific agriculture. The
boys are Harry S. Garrison and
William L. Kirby. Mr.. Kirby has
been offered the place of instructor
in an agricultural high school in
Minnesota, new departure in edu-
cational institutions. He is to have
salary of $1,000 to start. Mr..
t Garrison has three different openings,
, two from educational institutions and
: one from an experimental station.
} Everyone connected with the agri-
) cultural department at Delaware
] College is greatly elated over the
= good fortune of these two graduates.
Y 1t is unusual that openings so desir.
: able are found for graduates il
: scientific courses and it is highly
e gratifying to both the men and fac
: ulty that their services should be 81
r quickly sought. The matter indicate
g the esteem in which scientific agri
, culture is coming to be held among
e people generally and it is believed
d that the signal success of Messrs
e Garrison and Kirby will greatly slim
+ ulate the growth of the agriculture
W department at the college.

ofL. D. Casson and Hurt


of L. D. Casson and Hurt
Joseph Cann, driving the heavy
mill wagon of L. d. Casson, the
Cheswold miller, met with painful
accident in Smyrna yesterday. He
had been unloading some flour at
George w. Turner & Sons store and
was starting off. In turning the
corner the front wheels struck the
gutter curb, causing the king bolt
to break. The font wheels flew out
letting the heavily loaded wagon
down suddenly. Mr.. CAMS foot
was caught, and for time it was
thought his leg was broken. He was
taken to DR.. ]. w. Cllfton's but
fortunately no bones were found to
be broken. His wounds were dressed
and he was taken to the home of a
friend. Another wagon from the
mill was sent to Smyrna to take
charge of the wrecked mill wagon
and its load of flour and eed.

FIRE ALARM MONDAY MORNING

Residence OF Mrs. John Henderson,
Mt. Vernon Street Endangered
The first alarm of fire for some
time was given Monday morning
when the Hose Company and citi-
zens were called to the residence of
Mrs. John Henderson's on Mt. Ver-
non Street. 1t was extinguished,
however, before the Hose Company
could get on the job. The fire
seemed to have originated from
defective fue in the kitchen and
flames were eating their way be-
tween the wall and the weather
boarding. 1t was a relief to the
neighborhood when the flames were
extinguished for a fire starting there
under favorable conditions might
have wrought considerable damage.

WHEAT is NEARLY HARVESTED
Most of The Wheat in This Vicinity is
Headed Nicely And Good Yield

Farmers of this section have
practically completed the wheat har-
vest of 1911 and had good weather
all through. In some instances the
wheat is not yet cut and shocked,
but nearly all over central and low
er part of the peninsula, there are
great fields. on every side with wheat
shocks standing. The crop is ahead
of last year in most districts and by
many is believed to be ahead of the
ten-year average. In Smyrna and
vicinity, most of the wheat fields
are headed up nicely and fair aver
age per bushel is expected when the
threshing is made.

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
Prof. L. B. Earhart Arranges One of
The Best and Finest Stage Effects
And Programs In Schools History

FNiN aus w oOiiOOi
The Smyrna Opera House was
crowded Wednesday evening TO wit
ness the commencement exercises
of the graduating class of 1911 of
the Smyrna High School and those
who epected to see the same old
stereotyped style of proceedings
were agreeably surprised, for Prof.
Earhart had introduced an innova-
tion that was one of the best and
most delightful programs ever rend-
cred by the school. 1t was happy
combination of "Class Day" and
Commencement" and coupled with
this the plan of charging extra for
reserved seats, the seats formerly
secured by children, were filled with
parents and adults. The stage set
ting was beautiful. College flags
of various institutions mingled with
the garnet and gold of the Class of
1911 made up the decorations and
against this background in solid tiers
was chorus of girls and boys. The
class in cap and gown occupied thu
front of the stage while on either
side were the Board of Directors,
teachers and speakers. The whole
arrangement was very effective.
The class essays and orations were
fine and the class ceremony "Mes-
sage of the Flowers" in which each
member of the class was particularly
remembered, was an excellent limo
walton and in marked contrast to the
presentation oration" of bygonC
years. The chorus singing, bright
; and catchy, made a decided hit anC

DAIRY NOTES.

1t isn't always the big milkel
which shows best when the tester II
used
Churn often and never allow the
cream to become too sour II you want
sweet butter.
The man who feeds each cow by the
same rule will never get the most
out of his herd.
Good unadulterated milk should con
tain about 81 per cent. Of water and
1S per cent. solids.
Cows MIXED by the calf from year
to year go back in their milk produ
cling capacity instead Of improving It
Skim the milk as soon as all the
cream has come to the top. This will
be about the time it turns sour In
the summer.
The separator is a mighty good
thing Notwithstanding what the sepa.
rator manufacturers say about each
others machines.
Milk is mostly waterfall milk, not
Just the kind the milkman leaves at
the door. Cows cannot make milk
without plenty of water and they like
good water, too.
Hollow concrete blocks make an
ideal silo that will not crack or the
contents easily freeze. Machines for
making silo concrete blocks may be
purchased for about $40.
At the old home farm, the cows
used to wade right through the creek
to come to the well to drink The
old man educated those cows to an
app eciation of good drink.
The reason that cream of different
ages mixed together does not work
well in churning is that the fat glob.
lies are in different physical states,
and the butter from the ripest cream
will gather first. Cream to give the
best results should be churned at a
temperature of so degrees.

There is no danger from fever when
fed up to calving time with such foods
as wheat bran, mixed clover and red

develop the milk veins. The Danish
dairyman considers this of great val.
ue in increasing the capacity of the
udder. The blood being filled with
milk-produclng elements causes a
greater growth of the glands of the
udder. To have gentle cows the

sum of $1155. He had on hand the first
of March, last year, $40 hens, and dur
ing the past summer raised enough
chickens to add 290 pullets to his flock,
and sold 500 worth of young fowls to
the market. He has paid out for feed
$500, and $24 for male birds, and thinks
that by considering the $50 pullets
worth $3.50 his net gain for the eleven
months is about $500, or a profit of 81

realize on chickens and is record few
can equal. He has now on hand $50

spider racing, which he played with

selected a spider. which was placed on
the table, and then the latter was

warmth caused the insects to run, and
the spider which got to the edge first
