WHITE OAK CHIPS
Picked Up During the Week by
Our Wideawake Scribe.

White Oak, October 20: Mr. Early
Dewitt was forced to go to Charles
ton again Monday to DR. E F Parker,
the eye specialist, for treatment for
his eyes. He informs US that he
will spend several days there next
week, in order that the doctor may
perform an operation on his eyes.
We are sorry that he is having so
much pain and trouble with his eyes,
and especially sorry, because we are
sure that if he ever would like to
have the joy of perfect vision" it
is just now.
Mr. John H Baker, the saw-mill
man, has his machinery in working
order and is now saving lumber.
But just a little joke on Mr. Baker:
He would have been ready sooner,
but in packing his tools, etc, to re-
move here, he had his belts put in
the fre-box of the furnace, and af-
ter getting his boiler, engine and
carriage placed, he told the fireman
to fire up" so that he could see if
everything worked smoothly, and,
10, and behold, when he was informed
that everything was in readiness for
the belts to be put on and steam
turned on, he had. no belts. They
had helped in getting up steam.
Then what do you think he did? He
said: well, we won't be totally out
done; will blow the whistle to let
the folk know that part of it is all
right, and then l will hustle around
for more belts He went off Fri
day to spend the weekend at his
home at Central, and Monday morn
ing was on the job" with new belt
ing, and now his machinery is in
first-class working order.
Mr. and Mrs G F Gopfert and chill
dren have returned to their home at
Snellings. after spending some time
pleasantly with old-time friends and
acquaintance in this vicinity. They
were accompanied by Messrs A P
Buffkin. A R Eaddy and Early
Dewitt.
We note with regret the recent
illness of Mr. A R Eaddy, but all are
glad that he is somwhat improving.
Mr. D c Cantey, a worthy citizen
of Workman, spent the weekend

The death of Mrs K A Miles
Wednesday, October IA, cast a
gloom over our town and commun-
ity. She had been in feeble health
for some time, but was able to visit
among her children; and at the time
of her last illness she was at the
home of one of her daughters, Mrs
Rosetta Bales, at New Brooklyn,
near Columbia. She was bedfast
for three weeks, and, from the first,
little hope was held out for her re-
covery. Heart failure was the direct
cause of death. She was 73 years
of age. The remains were brought
here and interment was made in the
Methodist cemetery Friday, at II
a. m, in the presence of host of
grief-stricken relatives and sorrow
ing friends. Rev ] B Prosser, of
the Methodist church, conducted
the obsequies. Mrs Miles was a
lifelong member of the Baptist
church, was loved and highly res
pected by large circle of friends
and held in admiration that was al
most worship by her children and
grand children. Besides other rel
atives, she leaves five daughters and
one son, Mr. w Lewis Jones of Scran-
ton. She was three times married.

The Red Cross got 1000 hand
kerchiefs, and the money to buy
200 more, to send abroad to the
warriors of Europe. Let's see,
figures a statistical sharp: that's
1000 handkerchiefs among some
100000 soldiers, minus the 7.000,-
900 Germans already killed in the
war dispatches. That would be 500

The Mosquito Pest

Results obtained in other States
where war is waged on the mos
quito are interesting the Whining
ton Of Commerce, and it is rumor-
ed a campaign, looking toward the
determination of the little insects
will be taken up in this State the
coming summer.
Owing to the large acreage of
marsh and swamp land throughout
Delaware, few sections escape the
mosquito, and the Chamber of
Commerce has named George A
Elliott chairman of a committee to
conduct experiments in and near
Wilmington which may lead to a
Statewide campaign. Elliott be-
lieves most of the mosquitoes are
hatched i'll the marshes, and he
hopes to gain the cooperation of
the owners of these lands and have
these drained. Where this is i'm
possible the surface will be covered
with oil. Governor Miller is inter-
ested and, if the experiments are
successful, it is likely he will have
recommendations to make to the
next Legislature looking to the
complete determination Of the mos
quito from Delaware.

When sheep have been once highly
fitted and shown they cannot be kept
in that condition, but must be re-
duced in flesh. This must be done
most carefully, or the sheep may be
seriously injured, or even killed How
ever, If the owner is a careful feeder,
animals by show fitting as many be-
heve, because he understands reduc-
ing their flesh as we'll as putting it
on. reducing show sheep IN flesh is
accomplished chiefly by cutting down
their feed very gradually and being
sure that they obtain an abundance
of outdoor exercise.
The standard of excellence, which
governs awards made in the show
ring, demands the highest degree Ct
perfection it is possible to obtain. The
exhibitor must breed and care for all
animals in manner to bring out all
the merit and the possibilities they
possess, the same as the horsenan
breeds and trains his horse to develop
all the speed possible in order to go
mile in the shortest time. To the
| extent that man fails to select and
fit his animals properly in just SO far
is he apt to fail in having his animals
awarded highest honors in the show
| ring. The live stock judge must rec

pend upon the careful selection and
skillful feeding Of the animals.
