YOU ARE OUR REPORTER

This newspaper belongs to you Mr.
and Mrs. Subscriber just as well as to
the publisher. You want it to be a
newsy one, of course. You can help
make it so.
Every reader should be a reporter at
least to the extent of reporting the
news concerning his own family and
friends. You have wondered perhaps,
how we gather so much news for every
issue. If every reader would give us
the items he knows, we could make 1t
twice as newsy as it now is.
Merely paying for the paper and TAX
ing what we give you is not enough.
Other readers would be interested in
learning the news you know. You'll
enjoy seeing it in print, yourself If
you do not acquaint us with the items
you know of, you cannot find fault with
the paper for not containing them.
If you think one minute, right now,
several items will come TO your mind.
What if they are but personals. We
want personals. We want anything
that is news.
Take livlier interest in your paper.
You'll appreciate it more, as will all
OF your friends.

GUN DID THE WORK

The editor of a newspaper in nearby
town borrowed gun from friend the
other day to go hunting. When he APP
peared with it on the street he noticed
peculiar agitation among the citizens.
People rushed from store to store and
littl Z crowds gathered to watch him
pass along. The editor was thinking Of
the vacation ahead of him, but his face,
from habit, was set and stern. Sud
denly a man, braver than the rest,
rushed up with dollar bill in his hand.
"B1ll" he said, 'I've been intending to
hand you this dollar for six months. It's
for the subscription l owe you" The
editor gasped, almost tainted, and ac-
cepted the dollar with a look that said,
"Go on !! Damthetorpedoes p The
man rushed away, and several others
braved the EDITORS gun and paid up
BAG k bills. When the editor reached
his office he had quite a nice roll. But
a surprise awaited him at the office.
He found six bushels of potatoes, ten
dozen eggs, a load of hay, 2 hogs, a
tirkin of butter, two bushels of corn and
gallon of hard cider. In the center of
of mis- desk was large placard, and
somebody had written on it: "Dear
Bill: All the boys have paid in full.

SPENDING MONEY AT HOME

The Transcript scribe observes num-
bers of Mideletown's most fashionable
ladies who not only like to keep abreast
of the latest things in feminine apparel
from fine shoes to jaunty head gear,
but have abundant means to indulge
their tastes in Philadelphia stores pa
tronizing Fogel & Burstan.
This proves that Mrs. Fogel's Milli-
merry department, aided by Miss Culp,
can give ladies who like fine hats and
suits, all they wish and so MAKE it un-
necessary "to go to the city"
This is as it should be, for there is
no doubt that every town and village in
this state is damaged by this constant
spending often needless spendlng-of
money in the big cities which should and
might be profitably spent at home.
What does Philadelphia or any of the
large cities near US CONT ibute to Mid
dletown's prosperity? Nothing. Who
pays our town Philadelphia
business men? Hardly, but our own
citizens who live here, our merchants
among the rest. Should not home stores
and home industries then be patronized
rather than those of these distant
cities?

WHY WE GET TIRED

1t is the general impression among
athletes that exhaustion and '1oss of
wind" is due to the inability to con-
sumo sufficient oxygen and exhale
rapidly enough carbon dioxide, says
Popular Science Monthly. When the
muscle is moving rapidly and forcibly it
is true that it demands more oxygen,
and gives off to the blood more carbon
dioXide than when at rest. When man
is running as fast as he can make his
limbs move he is able to keep up the
pace but short distance, unless, like
the hunted hare. he runs to his death.
On account of the forced, vigorous and
rapid muscular action in his case, the
poisonous materials are thrown into
the blood, to be carried to all parts of
the body muscles, nerves, brain. The
heart is affected by this poison through
the nerve cells controlling that organ
the muscles of respiration are similarly
disturbed. The painting, distressing
efforts of breathing, sidelong tumbling,
anhelations and final Inconsistencies
of the h nted stag or hare are good ex-
amples of acute auto-intoxication, end
ing in death. This latter deplorable
condition is not unknown among the
annals of human strife for athletic
honors, even with our present advanced
knowledge of physiology.

WONDERFUL RECORD OF COW

A Guernsey cow in the Delaware Col
lege College Farm herd has earned 1868
in one year. After the deductions of
$149 for feed, and SAP for labor her ac-
tivities show a net profit of $3.50 for the
year. This COW, Imp. Yenadizze's Flora
25340, produced in 365 consecutive days
1851 pounds of milk and 668. %
pounds of butter-fat. Her product was
sold in the form of % per cent cream
for 20 cents per quart. and the skim
milk fed to young stock 1865 quarts
of cream at 20 cents and 10, 731 pounds
of skim milk 25 cents per cwt are worth
about $40; the manure was worth
about S25, and her calf was sold for
$500.
She received for roughage alfalfa
hay and corn silage, and her grain was
taken from mixture of the following
prop 1rtions; 200 pounds of bran, 200
pounds of hominy, 125 pounds of dried
brewers grains, 100 pounds of dried
beet pulp, rs pounds of cotton seed
meal and so pounds of oil meal. In ad-
dition to the above mentioned feeds she
received daily pounds of dried beet
pulp and l2 pounds of molasses. Her
bedding was shredded corn stover and
all of it went iuto the manure. She
carried calf during the last six months
of the years test and was milking quite
heavily at the end.
The fact that the average COW of
Delaware produces yearly only 5000
pounds of milk and about 100 pounds of
butter fat, makes the records of this
cow especially notable. 1t shows that
it pays to keep high grade of stock,
and also that profit like that of this
cow will easily justify greater outlay
of capital on breeding stock than is u.s.
ually made.

THREE CHAUFFEURS KILLED

Sunday night about ten o'clock a
fatal accident occurred at the Leslie
crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, in which three young Balti-
more chauffeurs lost their lives. They
were Morris Fooks of 1907 Orleans St.,
John Hand of 1917 Asquith street, and
Elmer Gassoway, of 2408 Orleans street.
AS the Washington express No. 9,
was passing Leslie that night the engi-
neer felt slight shock and the air was
automatically applied, bringing the
train to a quick stop. Examination
showed that the locomotive had been
struck near the rear driving wheel and
the air pipe broken. Lying on the plat
form at the station were the bodies of
Hand and Fooks, who had been instant
ly killed when the Ford jitney in which
they were riding ran into the express
and a few feet away Gassoway was ly-
ing, unconscious and fatally injured
DIR. H. A. Cantwell was summoned
from North East and the injured man
taken on the Express to Baltimore, but
he died just as the city was reached.

Old Trees Burned

The large tree was quickly removed
by Mr.. Weldon from the Fogel & Bur-
stan Corner. 1t was rotten at the core
and the tap root entirely gone, and in
asmuch as it leaned towards the street
and might some day have blown down
with disastrous results, its removal was
warranted for reasons of public safety.
1t will also add one third to the side
walk width as well as give a better
view of the new window and entrance
being arranged by Messrs. Fogel &
Burstan.
There are several more rotten old
trees on Main street that should be re-
moved and we presume that in the new
concrete paving contracted to be done
from the Shallcross garage to and in
elusive of Truitt's drug store, these
old hulxs will also go.

BETTER SEED CORN

The experiments being tried by for
mer AssembIyman Jack Wright of
Blackbird Hundred to propagate better
corn from careful selection of seed, is
promising sign among our farmers.
Not only is this attention to better seed
selections demonstrated by our Della
ware farmers but the Eastern Shore of
Maryland as well. In commenting on
this movement, the Chestertown Kent
News says: "We have learned the
value of selection for quality in the
breeding of live stock. We know that
animals of pure breeding in single
strains will produce offspring showing
strain characteristics. Every farmer
who pretends to practice methods W, ich
he knows to be good is careful in the
selection of his stock. But we have
just begun to study the possibilities OF
improvement of our field crops by simi-
lar selection. Corn, oats, wheat and
potatoes have taken from the common
bin regardless of their productive ability
and freedom from disease and with
little regard for freedom from impuri-
ties have been sown and planted with
blind faith in the returns. We fertilize,
plow, harrow and cultivate with the
greatest of care and neglect the most
important factor-the purity, vitality
and reproductive powers of the seed
that must produce the new crop. Here
is an opportunity for increasing yields
and quality at small expense. There is
no better time for a start than right
now, in the selection of seed potatoes
and corn for next years planting"

POTATOES AS HOG FEED

Because of the surplus Of white or
Irish potatoes now on the market and
the consequent low prices, many far
mers have been seeking information as
to the possibility of feeding them to
hogs.
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted in Germany and other foreign
countries as well as few in the United
States to determine the value of pota-
toes as feed for swine. In Ireland and
Germany farmers feed large quantities
of potatoes annually. From expert
mental data it has been concluded that
to IL bushels of potatoes when
cooked are equal to about l bushel of
corn for putting gains on hogs. There
fore, if corn is worth 80 cents bushel,
potatoes when fed to hogs would be
worth only l8 to 20 cents bushel.
There may, however, be instances
where it would be more advantageous
for the farmer to feed TO hogs right on
his own place at least part of his crop
rather than to haul these potatoes to an
already overloaded market
According to the concensus of opinion
potatoes are fed to the best advantage
when cooked or steamed and mixed with
other feeds. Experiments in which raw
potatoes were fed alone have been re-
ported. In certain instances the raw
potatoes are said to have caused scours.
However, raw potatoes in small quanti-
ties and in diet lacking succulence
may be conductive to health in pigs.
In cooking potatoes only enough
water should be used to make a mealy
mash and prevent burning. The re-
sultant meal should then be mixed with
corn meal or grain supplement. Tank
age, skim milk, or meat meal would
probably add to the profit of the mix
ture. Potatoes when prepared in the
manner described and under the con-
ditions mentioned can often be fed to
pigs with advantage,
