MEMBERS OF kent LEVY
court INSPECT ROADS

The members of the Kent County
Levy Court, Engineer Scott, and Road
Supervisor Salevan, inspected the
roads in Milford Neck on Wednesday
last, but what their recommendations
were has not been learned. 1t is under
stood that much unfavorable comment
has been made by the people of Frederick
because the Frederick Causeway was
filled with gravel. To the writer, how
ever, it seems that little mud in wet
weather is preferable to large holes
which will almost break a spring, the
entire year round. The Levy Court
should have the road widened, and until
this is done it is almost useless to try to
improve the road. There seems to be
an inclination among some of the persons
in that town to censure the Road En-
gineer. but the Levy Court should be
the body to which the complaints are
made. 1t is hoped that the roadway
will be widened before the present
summer season has passed. By cutting
the bitches on the side of the road lead
ing on to the causeway the supervisor
has greatly aided that road.

TROUT and DRUM FISH.

The fishermen along the Delaware
Bay shore, especially at Cedar and
Slaughter beachs, commenced to catch
unusually large trout in large numbers
on Monday last. These fish sold quickly
at the shore for prices which ranged
from 81 to 50. so per bushel. Some Of
these fish weighed as much as nine
pounds each, but the average size was
about four or five pounds each. These
sold at retail in the Milford market at
from Is to 25 cents each. Tuesday morn
ing catches were even larger, and the
prices dropped. so that the retail price
was only 25 cents for a pair of fish
weighing six or seven pounds. Several
large drum fish were caught on Tuesday
morning, and sold for % cents each. As
soon as the news reached the other
towns, wagons came to the fishing shores
and took loads of these fine sea fish to
those markets. Probably a thousand
dollars worth of fish have been caught
and sold at Cedar and Slaughter beaches
this week. This business gives employ
ment to many people, but it certainly Is
hard work, and exposure to wet and
cold.

HOEE'S MOVING PICTURES.

No one can deny the advantages of for
eign travel in the enlightenment of the
mind, and as Lyman H. Howe's Travel
Festival which comes to ArmOry Hall on
Saturday evening, May End. is the one
attraction before the American public
which, pre- eminently, offers the advant-
ages and pleasures of travel without any
Of its defects, discomforts or incOnven-
fences, its Importance cannot be over
estimated. fit were noteworthy for no
other Of its many merits this fact alone
would Justify its great vogue and pres
uge. In this respect it is playing much
more important role than any dramatic
attraction extant. In the refinement
and enlightenment of the mind it is full
hlllng mission that is as far reaching
IN Its scope as halls of learning and cul-
lure. 1t serves to increase the sum total
OF human wisdom to a degree difficult to
realize. When you leave the theatre
after two and a half hours world tour
with Howe, you have derived more real
satisfaction, wholesome entertainment,
ana beneficial knowledge than can be
gleaned from score of dramatic or
musical offerings.

A PICTURE SHOW TREAT.

These pictures are classics. They
are the very last word in motion view
art. They are to the ordinary posed
and acted drama pictures as a Corot or
Rembrant is to a circus poster. They are
the masterpieces of a genius with the
camera, are the words in which the
dramatic critic of the Denver Re
publican describes the new program TO
be presented by Lyman H. Howe at
Armory Hall on Saturday evening, May
End. Similar praises are sounded by
theatrical reviewers of newspapers
in each city where Mr.. Howe has eX
hibited his new program. The subjects
provide thrills on land and sea, educa-
ton in nature studies and travel, with
comedy enough to leaven and brighten
the most fiinty or jaded amusement
patron. The consensus of opinion is
that Mr.. Howe's new reproductions are
more stupendous in their range and more
amazing and delightful than ever. They
emphatic the fact that in this world Of
innumerable so-called pictures shows
Mr. Howe's unique travel festival IS
indeed thing of itself-entirely and
unrivalled by any other exhibition.

BEES Do GREAT WORK.

According to the current issue of Farm
and Fireside those who think the bee a
trespasser when he comes after honey
should think again. Following is an ex-
tract from an account of what bees do
for farms, especially fruit farms al
bert Reep, the great New Jersey orchard
ist. has said, I'd as soon think of manag-
ing this orchard without a single spray
pump as without bees. Bees are the
chief agent for fertilizing the blossoms
of fruit trees, and if the orchardist
doesn't keep bees it is a fine thing for
him that his neighbors do. E. r. Root
of the Ohio State College speaks in a
recent bulletin-No. g. send and get it
of the experience of Van Rensselaer,
& Southam, who leased an old barren
orchard near Cleveland, and made it bear
l6. 900 bushels in 1913. They attribute
a good deal of this success to the sixty
stands of bees introduced. They do not
think it possible to grow fruit to advant-
age without bees. IF we could have
twice as many humble bees in our clover
fields we should undoubtedly harvest
better crops of seed. Every bee in a
sweet-clover or alfalfa field is money in
the bank for the seed-grOwer. "

HERE
begins MONDAY next

In Armory Hall last Monday evening
there was a gathering of possibly $50
persons who were deeply interested in
the cleaing and keeping clean of the
town of Milford. Addresses were made
by Mr.. Poelschke, an expert chemist.
by Mr.. Lovett on the identifying of the
homes and cleanliness, by George B.
HynsOn who defended the housewives
against accusation for casting refuse
into the streets. because there is no
official dumping ground, or means for
dispOsing of such waste, and by several
others. The ladies were present and
composed more than half of the audience.
During part of the meeting the two
troops of Boy Scouts marched into the
hall in a body under command of DR..
Andrews and Mr.. Anderson, and re.
manned for a time to hear the discussions
of the needs of the town for cleaning.
The president of Town Council was
present, as well as all members of that
body with one exception, and that body
pledged support and effort to make the
cleanup week in Milford all that it is
intended it should be. The meeting
appointed committee composed of two
persons form each of the civic bodies
and institutions of Milford. The ladies'
of the New Century Club named two,
the president of Town Council named
two of its members, as did the Board of
Health. They will have entire charge
of the work.

EVERYBODY CLEAN UP NOW.

The citizens of Milford after having
had several public meetings relative to
the general cleanup of Milford, have
decided to have the cleanup week. and
the date has been fixed to start on Mon
day, May 4th, 1914. The Committee ap-
pointed to look after this movement,
earnestly desire the cooperation of all
citizens of Milford, so that we may
improved our sanitary conditions by the
removal of all rubbish and filth, from our
premises. and deposit it on the public
dumping grounds. One of these grounds
is located just east of the railroad. and
north of the L. D. Caulk Laboratories.
At this dumping ground only such refuse
as brush and materials as will not give
off an odor, or become nuisance. An
other dumping ground is located on the
causeway leading east to the steamboat
landing, where the refuse must be placed
back from the street and in the low lands
next the river. Will you call the atten-
ton of your neighbor to this suggestion
and notice? They may not see it, and
we will feel better if you will assist in
this work. Its labor of love and duty.
Yours for better sanatiry conditions,
