Men IN DEMAND At WASHINGTON.

The United States Civil Service Com
mission announces that while it has no
difficulty in securing sufficient female
stenographers and typewriters to meet
the needs of the departments at Wash
ington, the supply of male eligibles has
not been equal to the demand. Young
men who are at least Is years of age
and who are willing to accept the usual
entrance salaries, which are $840 and
$500 a year, have excellent opportunities
for appointment. While the entrance
salaries are low, advancement is reason
ABLY rapid to those meriting it. The
examinations, which any competent
stenographer should be able to pass, are
held each month in the year, except De
cember. at the principal cities of the

TWO CROPS A YEAR IN DELAWARE.

C. c. Wilson, formerly Of Xesberry,
Michigan. came to Delaware a little
over one year ago, and after investigat-
ing the conditions he purchased farm
from Charles NJ. Hammond. Of Milford,
and on this farm he has been doing
things since that time. Mr.. Wilson
seems to be more than pleased with Il e
climate of Delaware, and the results Of
his crops have been profitable. Last
spring he sowed one field with oats,
from which he has harvested a very
good crop, and this field was immedi-
ately planted with Red Kidney Beans,
from which he has harvested profits-
bic crop of these. as the yields of each
was above the average. and the quality
the best. On another part of his farm
he planted and harvested peas for the
cannery, which were harvested and the
same land planted with corn. From
both of these he had fine results, and
the cash returns were satisfactory.
Mr.. Wilson states that he was never
able to grow more than one crop on the
same land in Michigan, and as a result
he is well pleased with his Delaware
experience.

COLLEGE PROPOSED.

With view of advocating the build
ing of an Agricultural College in Sussex
County, Prof. E. G. Hardesty, Superln1-
tendent of the Sussex County School S
and several business men of the county,
made a trip by automobile to Ridgely'
Md. last week to look over the Agricul-
fural College at this place. During the
Teachers Institute, which was held at
Lewes last month, DR.. Charles A.
Wagner, Delaware's State Commits,
sioner of Education, stated in one. OF
his addresses that agriculture should be
taken up as a study in all schools along
with the regular school work and that
such a study would be invaluable to tEe
county. Such a school located central
in Sussex County would be of vast i'm
portance to the students of this county
and it is hoped that the county can see
its way clear to erect one.

FELLOWSHIP BIBLE CLASS SOCIAL.

The Fellowship Bible Glass, under the
leadership of Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Reid,
held a very delightful social last week
in the Chapel. Notwithstanding the
rainy evening about fifty were in at
tendance. The evening was spent IN
music, singing and interesting .recita-
tions, being opened as usual with the
class devotions. Mrs. William e., Ab
bott. chairman of amusement, had the
program in charge, and those who TOOK
part were Mr., Coulten, Mrs. DAVIS,
Mrs. E. Hudson, Mrs. Archer, Mrs.
Davidson and Mrs. Mills. An interest
ing and amusing feature of the evening
was the distributing of Christmas giIJIs II
from a huge bag carried by Mrs. "; y.
Abbott. who was dressed as Mrs.
Santa" The lights were turned low
when Mrs. Abbott appeared in the chan
Gel. which was decorated with cedars
and holly, making a most pleasing scene.
AS each member received their gift,
which were pretty cards of love ana
cheer. with an "all night sucker" to
sweeten their dreams, they were escorted

BOWERS BEACH IS
VISITED BY Big FIRE

Fire. of unknown origin, destroyed
oiohteen cottages, a number Of stables,
~ two boats at Bowers Beach, the
iorgast bavshOre resort in Delaware
Friday night last. The fire was confir =
cd to the row of cottages fronting on
Murderkil River, and no property
along the bay front or in South Bowers
Nos damaged. 1t is estimated that
nossiblv $4,000 worth Of damage was
done by the blaze.
The fire was discovered at about 5
o'clock in the afternoon, and for five
bours burned stubbornly. Calls We're
sent to Dover and the nearby towns.
The Robbins Hose Company from Dover
responded, but in crossing the beach to
tbe burning buildings it became stuck
in the sand and was useless. Without
this. the Dover firemen were powerless.
The inhabitants of the beach fought
tbe blaze hard so long as it was burning
toward the large canning factory own
ed bv w. S. Davidson, but when the
wind changed and the fire was carried
down the row of cottages they let up.
Volunteers from Milford arrived on the
Gene late in the evening and went into
action. These men, aiding the fighters,
were aLIG 10 llOlQ AtC AlAG " AAAC hAAANt
inc in which it was burning when they
arrived.
The buildings were built close to-
gether, many of them being only about
a yard apart. 1t is more than likely
that they will berebuilt, but that large
opening will be left between each
building. The citizens of the thriving
little summer resort have already
awakened to the danger which has con
fronted them for years, and are talking
strongly of purchasing a hand pump
fire engine for their village. This move
will probably bear fruit next summer
when the city cOttagers arrive and give
their contributions.
The fire started in the store owned
bv Miss Caroline Gambler, from which
it leaped to the cottages owned by
Miss Elizabeth Butler, two being burn
ed for her. Walker S. Henderson S
cottage was the next to go. At this
point the wind changed and the Kent
Cottage and canning factory were saved.
Starting back over the burned area,
the fire then burned the following build
ings in order named Mrs. }. 5. Blggs,
Corsey's Mills Mrs. c. F. Noble,
PHILADELPHIA Mrs. j. W. Downham,
Viola Mrs. Virginia Wood, Camden
N. ]. Jacob C. Voshel, Camden, Della

lia Mrs. Caroline Lohan, Frederlca
Angelow Miller, Philadelphia Mrs.
Luther Rust, Frederica w. H. Jack
son, Viola J. T. Postles, Frederlca.
The Postles cottage was the last to
burn, but the boat house owned by Mrs;
Maggie Flack was pulled down to ana
in stopping the flames.
The large two engine launch, owned
by Jacob Segrest was destroyed. This
boat had been pulled out for the winter,
and owing to her size it was impossible
to move her. She was valued at about
S25OO. Another small launched was de-
stroyed.

COLORED MAN HAD FOOT MASHED

While aiding in unloading a car of
coal at the Milford freight yards on
Wednesday afternoon, William Burton,
colored, had his left foot so badly mashed
that part of the member had to be am
putated. Burton, who is employed by
William Dickerson. was standing on the
car load of coal when a shifting freight
train bumped into the car. Burton lost
his balance from the impact of the bump,
and fell to the ground. In falling, his
left foot fell across the track and the
car wheels ran over it. He was taken
to the office of DIR. ]. Lynn Pratt, where
half of the foot was amputated. Dur
ing the past summer Burton was en-
ployed by the Milford Ice Company, and
won many friends by the efficient man
ner in which he attended to the custom
ers on his route.
