APPLE GROWERS WANT
new Freight RATES

Apple growers of Pennsylvania have
begun proceedings before the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the end of
compelling the readjustment of freight
rates on the fruit in the South and the
Middle West. Joined with the Pennsyl-
vania growers in the proceedings are
the apple growers of Maryland, Virginia.
Delaware and West Virginia.
More than 200 railroads, including the
Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, and
every other line connecting New York
and New England with points as far
south as Texas, are named as defendants
in the petition which wss filed by the
Eastern Fruit Growers Association.
Other organizations of apple growers
named as compliments in the suit are
the Pennsylvania State Horticultural
Society, the Maryland State Horticul-
tural Socity, the West Virginia State
Horticultural Society. the Virginia Hor-
ticultural Society and the Fruit Growers
Association of Adams County, Penn
sylvania.
These organizations claim that apple
growers of New York and certain New
England States are favored by the rates
aimed at. 1t is alleged in the complaint
that the rates on shipments of apples
are higher from points in Pennsylvania.
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia to points in Virginia and the
Carolinas. Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas,
Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio than'are the rates on apples to those
and western points from the
apple shipping regions of New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and
Vermont, despite the fact that the haul
is longer. As a result, it is alleged. the
growers of the New York and New
England region have been enabled to
cut into the trade of the Middle Atlantic
growers.

MUMMERS WILL PARADE
ABOUT MILFORD TONIGHT

The members of the "Old" Milford
Band have taken the initiative in having
a Hallowe' en- parade in Milford this year,
and will lead the parade when it passes
through this town this evening. The
parade will form at the Pennsylvania
Railroad station promptly at z. 80 o. clock
this evening. and the mummers will
march through the principal streets of
the town. As in past years, the farmers
and others driving to Milford, will be
asked to refrain from hitching their
teams on Walnut Street, between North
Front and South Front Streets, in order
that the mummers may have full sway.
While large number of floats have not
been promised for the parade. and some
of the secret organizations which in
former years have taken active steps in
promoting parade have not announced
that they will be in line. the promoters
of the parade are prophecying a large
turnout. To the farmers and people
from neighboring towns who want an
evenings entertainment, the town of
Milford will probably offer the best at
traction to be found in the lower part
of the state this evening.

of which many of the oldest Delaware
families are represented. Governor Mil

the Penn Club, has suggest ted that it
would be agreeable to have these officers
come in full uniform. The three counties
of Delaware, New Castle, Kent and Sus-
sex, were originally part of the Provi-
ence of Pennsylvania, and tits expected
that the reception to Governor Miller
will serve to bring together many kins-
men whose ancestry dates back to the
Ctlonies and beyond. A notable com
pany always attends the receptions of
the Penn Club which has entertained
many of the most distinguished men in
all walks of American life.

IMPROVING OLD CEMETERY.

Beneath yon rugged elm. that yew trees shade.
Where heaves the turf in many a moderng heap,
Each in his narrow cell forever laid,
The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
At last the steps have been taken by
the trustees of the M. E. Church to put
the old burial ground in North Milford
in a condition of decent repair, and thus
atone for the neglect of our citizens at
large in the place.
There can be no more significant COM
ment on the people of any community
than their regard for their dead, which
in a measure is shown in their care of
the local Gods acre.
Every citizen of this town would do
well to visit this old burial ground Oc-
casionally, read the names on the stones
and reflect on the part each occupant of
a narrow cell has had in laying the fOun-
dati0ns of our present heritage in this
town and community.
The plans involved in the restoration
embrace everything that is necessary
for the present and also for a fund. the
income of which will keep the grounds
always in presentable condition.
Already a substantial wall of cement
blocks, with iron gates, has been erected.
The sidewalk has been cut down, the
old bricks removed and a wide cement
pavement is being laid. On the back
and north side it is proposed to erect a
substantial wire fence with concrete
posts, thus making an enclosure that
will prevent the entrance of chickens
and dogs.
A few years ago a committee of ladies
laid out number of walks, but in time
these became Overgrown until their To-
cation was almost lost. These walks
are being cleared again and will be-
covered with gravel The weeds and
grass have been cut and the underground
in the rear will be removed.
Orders have been given to have all
the stones that have fallen or begun to
lean, restored to proper condition, and
the burial ground generally brought to
a state which will show proper apprecla-
tiOn of its hallowed nature by the people
of this section.
A part Of the funds has been sub
scribed, but more is required. If there
are not many generous contributions,
the burden will fall upon few shoulders
viii h have assumed the load.
IL is thought that to contribute some
thing will be regarded by many as a
privilege rather than a duty; and that
the object is such that begging would
be out of place.
Already a small endowment fund is in
hand and invested. This when it be-
comes sufficiently large will provide rev.
enue to keep the place in shape perpet-
ually.
The trustees are asking the public to
visit the spot and see what's being done.
and leave it to all the people in this
community and to those whose relatives
lie in this consecrated ground to volun
teer contributions which shall be in
keeping with their sense of obligation.
Checks or money NAV be sent or
handed to either G. Layton Grier, treas
urer, or William V. Sipple.

RAIN MARRIED ATTENDANCE.

The annual fair held by the Milford
Grange in its hall last Friday and Sat
urday, was well planned and all prepara-
tion was made for a large attendance,
which would undoubtedly have been
present but for the extremely hard rain
storm which started on Friday and con-
tinued until Saturday afternoon. The
display of poultry and fruit was very
attractive, but the vegetable show was
not up to the standard of last year in
either quantity or quality. which was
largely cause by the weather conditions.
1t is a matter Tor regret that the storm
prevented The fair from becoming a
greater success than that of last year,
but hope now turns to the fall of 1914,
which will und ubtedly produce larger
and more attractive display by the farm
ers of Milford and vicinity.

MODERN OYSTER SHIPPING.

Probably the greatest change in the
oyster industry, second only to the mod,
means in beds" far removed from all
danger of sewage contamination, is in
the method of packing and shipping.
Formerly, oysters were shipped with ice
directly upon them, the ice melting and
diluting the Liquor" Today, after the
oysters have been shucked and carefully
graded, they are putinto cans, sealed and
ice packed around. No salt or other pre-
servative is used. The result is, the oys
ters reach their destination, no matter
how arinland, in perfect condition.
