Vets See New Trade in Rule on
Shipments

Frankfort, Ky, June i5.-The last
bar to shipments of intoxicants to the
thirsty in dry territory was removed
Monday, when the United States Su-
preme Court ruled that the Webb
Kenyon law, prohibiting shipments
of intoxicants in interstate traffic
into dry territory does not apply
to liquor intended for individual
use.
Some weeks ago the same court
held that a saloonist from outside
a State might go into dry terri
tory, solicit orders, deliver the IL
duors and collect the money.

From the different parts Of Sussex
and Kent counties complaints are be-

who own land along the highways are
plowing up the roads, and in order to
break up the practice the Levy Court
has decided to take drastic action.
The Sussex County body was advised
by Attorney Layton to secure all of
the information possible, whenever
any person was found TO be plowing
up the roads, and report the same to
the Attorney Generals Office, and in
order to break up the practice, pros
ecute them. This they have decided
to do in the future, and little surprise
would be occasioned if several indict-

The women in the Parent Teachers
Associations are aiding in improving
the equipment of the schools. Both
the inside as well as the outside sur
roundings of the buildings need to be
made more attractive. Nothing could
be more unlovely than the average
country school house. Perched right
along the edge of the dusty road in
a plot generally devoid of even a
blade of grass, it presents nothing to
attract any one to learning within
its walls. Fortunately the movement
for school gardens will have a salu-
tary effect upon the appearance of
the school grounds at the same time
that it is teaching valuable lessons.
Aside from the necessary equipment
Of maps, charts, etc, that are toe Of
ten wholly lacking, there are needed
pictures and flowers for the interior
of the school house, which will help
amazingly to add a refining touch to
the atmosphere in which the children
are required by law to spend five
hours every day. 1t is inevitable that
the dust laden calendar of the year be
fore last will have to go, and that its
place will be taken by real picture,
perhaps one that parents and pupils
have co-operated together to secure.

The State Board of Education has
at last reached the real cause why
there is a quiet purpose prevailing the
rural school districts TO provide no
better school facilities than now ex-
ist beyond the seventh grade The
law which permits children from the
rural school districts to go from such
district to the incorporated graded
schools of the towns and for attend
ance by them the State pays 20 cents
each day of attendance 10 the graded
school, operates to stop the rural
schools from providing any better
schooling for their children, any fur
ther than the seventh grade, and af-
ter that their children attend the
town graded schools free of charge
to the rural residents of Delaware.
This is the real hardship to the town
taxpayers for it is well known that
twenty cents per day does not reim-
burse the school for the actual cash
paid out to educate a child in the
graded schools. The State Board of
Education at its recent meeting took
action along this line, but failed to
get at the real trouble in its remedy.
They purpose to control the passing
of a pupil from the rural districts
into the graded schools, by compell-
ing them to be examined and certified
to as to their fitness for the attend
ance at such schools. They also pro-
pose to confne the number of chill |
dren in each county to the actual mum
ber permitted by the school laws; and
thus prevent further raids upon the
State Treasury each session Of the
to reimburse the different
graded schools over the State, to the
amount Of from five to ten thousand
dollars, for children who attended the
graded schools in excess of the legal
number. In another part of this pa

Editor Milford Chronicle: We,
people of his section OF Delaware,
have pride in our active and beautiful
little city of Milford, and we have
noted with the keenest pleasure and
! interest the united efforts of the
/ Town Council, the Town Board Of
/ Health. and the various civic and so

prove, TO develop and establish such
| beneficial conditions that will place
our town as one of the most progress
/ siye in Delaware or upon the East
ern Shore The efforts of the afore-
mentioned organizations are to be
congratulated, and supported in what
they have accomplished, and for what
they still have under contemplation
to make Milford an up-to-date town
or city. 1t is much to be regretted
that the representative business men
of Milford take the unfayorable view
and attitude they do as to the non
hitching ordinance recently passed by
Town Council. We want to think
that they acted on the impulse of the
moment, before they really consider
ed the illogicality of their course;
their excuse has been, that they are
working for the interest of the farm |
ers. Now, the conclusions to be /
drawn from the clear-thinking and |
progressive farmers is that they acted |
without the popular sentiment of the
majority of the farmers whom they
hoped TO help. Proof of this is the
fact, that the Grange passed resolu-
tions favoring the ordinance. The
of the Grange is made up
Of the most intelligent, progressive
and broad-minded farmers, and it is
10 be inferred that they recognize the
ultimate benefit of this ordinance. Il
The ethecal aspect of the case now is,
hat the financial and business men
must realize that Milford is no small
