LECTURES ON GREAT AMERICAN CITIES.

On Monday, October 26th, Prof. E: L.
Smith of Delaware College, gave a lee
ture on Great German Cities, before
the New Century Club of Milford. Pro-
fessor Smith said in part. ''The great
ness of a city is not a question Of how
many persons dwell within its walls, but
with what do they occupy. What roll
have they played and are they playing
in the economic advancement of the en-
pire What part have they taken in
building up a better and more efficient
form of government? What have its citi-
zens contributed to the advancement OF
the world in art, literature. and science?' ~
Continuing, the speaker explained why
Berlin. Dresden, Weimar, Nuremberg,
Munich. Brennan and Hamburg should
be considered as great artistic, literary
and commercial centers. In conclusion
he said. 1T is the steadfastness of
German character. the indomitable and
progressive spirit, as exemplified by the
many achievements to which have in
vited your attention. that have placed
Germany in the forefront of the world s
powers. This lecture is one of those
offered by the Delaware College Exten-
aiOn Committee

FLOUR MILL DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Fire of unknown origin destroyed the
large Flour Mills of Hendricks & Wilson,
located about four miles west of Milford,
Thursday morning and caused a loss Of
about $1,000, The blaze was discovered
about six o o'clock in the morning by per
sons living near the mill, and when dis
covered the interior was mass of flames.
Nothing was saved frcm the interior of
the building after the flames were dis
covered An effort was made to save
the books of the concern. but these too
were destroyed.
The mill property was owned by Sharp
Wilson, and was valued at about $4,000.
An additien to the building, made re-
Gently, cost about $500. 1t is understood
that Insurance to the amount Of $500
was carried on the structure. The wheat
to be used in making flour, between
eight hundred and a thousand bushels,
was destroyed together with the mill.
This wheat cost 81. 10 per bushel when
it was purchased. Seven tons Of bran
were also consumed by the flames. All
Of the milling machinery was also total
wreck. Mr. Hendricks, the miller, re-
turned home from Milford at midnight
and at that time there were no signs Of
any fire. The mill had not been in op-
GRAFTON all day Wednesday and no fire
had been there for two days. For that
reason the fire came as an even greater
surprise. The contents and stock, it is
understood, were partially insured. Mr..
Wilson stated the loss is only about one
third covered by insurance.
Fortunately for the owners, one thous
and bushels of buckwheat which they
had purchased recently did not arrive
on Wednesday as they had expected,
and for that reason this was not de-
stroyed. 1t arrived to-day. A guam
tity of corn was also destroyed.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES.

W. C. Pelton. County Agricultural
Agent of Sussex County, conferred with
the Kent County Agent on Saturday,
at which time plans were discussed rela-
tive to the work that would be carried
on in the two counties.
The County Agent spent Monday at
Hartly, assisting Mrs. f. Snyder in her
Bows Corn Club work there. Corn was
measured for Master Staufer and Mas
ter Edgar Farrow. The rest of the corn
plots near Hartly will be measured and
husked shortly. The boys have made
Yields double those of the farmers in
their community. A complete report
will be made of these corn contests later
Boys and Girls clubs will be planned
soon for another year.
The Kent County Agricultural Agent
was visited by a number of farmers IN
his office in the County Building on Sat
urday. Farmers are very much inter-
ested in this movement for their benefit
and in their interests. and will soon take
hold of the work, as soon as they find
out the mission of the County Agent. A
Babcock milk tester has been ordered
by the County Agent, and he is now
ready to test any samples of milk. Come
in and discuss your problems with the
County Agent as he will be in his office
in the Levy Court room every Saturday.
Plans are now under way for holding a
Kent County Corn Show in Dover some
time in the early winter. Every farmer
should save out a sample of his corn to
enter it at this show, as there will be
premiums for all classes and cOlors of
corn. 1t is hoped that funds will be pro-
vided soon, so that full announcement
can be made in an early issue. The
County Agent also has some plans under
way, which will be given out soon in the
meetings to be held in all parts Of the
county. The object Of this show will be
to interest the farmer in the production
of more and better crops for Kent County
of King Corn. Special premiums will
be provided for boys and girls and they
will be encouraged to select corn for
this show. and possibly other products.
Save your good corn now as you are
husking it and be ready for this show
when it is announced.

HAS CONTRACTED TO
Build TWO STEAMERS

The ship building yards of w. G..
Abbott & Son have closed contracts and
started to build two steamboats,, which
will assure the workmen employment
for the ensuing winter. One of these
is for local people who desire to have
another freight steamboat running re-
gularly in and out of the Mispillion River,
as the business is more than one steamer
can take care of. This is especially true
during the season when the phosphate
works are at the busiest. The firm of
Draper. Davis & Co. have to look to the
steamboat route for carrying a great
part of their materials to compound the
phosphate brands made by them, and
to freight their corn and wheat to the
city markets, hence the building Of the
second ne " steamboat.
The keel was laid down the first of this
week, and the steamboat will be ready
for the spring trade. The principal
stockholders are Harry Davis, of Draper.
Davis & Company. Robert Griffith a
merchant, Captain George FarrOw, w.
G. Abbott and others. The new steam
boat will carry about $50 tons and will

parties of New York. When completed
the boat will have a carrying capacity
of about 400 tons and will be modern in
every respect. The announcementth that
the two contracts have been made IS
proving much satisfaction to the boat
carpenters here.
Thrty-five and more years ago, a
score of schooners traded out Of the
Mispillion River, but the last sailing
vessel has disappeared and steamboats,
have replaced them. A few years ago
four small steamers took up the busi-
ness, but recently the larger steamer
George F. Pierce" has had monopoly
of the freight business in and out of the
Mispillon especially since Captain
Vinyard sold his steamer to the Milford
Fisheries Company. The new steamer
will be very largely employed in carry
ing grain phosphate and phosphate
materials 1t is expected that the new
boat will be ready for the spring bust
ness Of 1915.

A MASQUERADE DANCE
Held in ARMORY HALL

In all the years past there has never
been a masquerade dance, held in Milford
which approached the beauty and genu-
inc pleasure enjoyed, as that held in
ArmOry Hall last Tuesday evening by
the members of the Caulk Club of Mil
ford In the first place the ArmOry Hall
was decorated in beautiful and artistic
effect with a forest of autumn leaves
on the bOughs, and with shocks of corn
and pumpkins to resemble a forest scene
at the edge of a field. The stage, gal
lery and the walls all were covered with
this beautiful blending of the highly
colored leaves, and the electric lights
glimmering through it all made a charm
ing effect. The music was furnished by
the Presbyterian Orchestra, and it was
good. William G. Smith acted as floor
manager, and the stunts he arranged
for the masqueraders was amusing and
greatly enjoyed by the participants and
the great audience in the gallery. The
old time Virginia Reel, the circle march
ing and the games with them afforded
lots of hilarity for the strenuous mem
bers. The opening march was led by
grotesque farmer who proved to be
Lester Lovett, and Spanish Senoreta.
who at unmasking proved to be Katie
Truitt. During this march the judges,
Louder N. Hearn. Postmaster William
H. Robinson and Colonel Theo. Townsend
selected the recipients of the three prizes,
which were awarded as follows The
best makeup costume, was awarded to a
handsome young lady with Gainsboro
hat and beautiful golden hair, and when
unmasked the lady proved to be Charles
johnson. The second prize went to the
best comical makeup, and that proved
to be Lester Lovett who led the march.
The third prize was awarded to the most
accurate costume of its period, and that
went to Miss Nan Deputy, who was
dressed as a lady of the period of 1868,
with the hoops and furbelows then fash
ionable. 1t was certainly a handsome
affair in its setting, and the costumes
were so good that the judges had diff
