RAILROAD BREAKING UP LOAFING.

The D., M. G. V. Railroad Company.
and all other railroads on this Peninsula
under the management of the Pannsyl

against all persons who trespass upon
their property, or who loaf about the

poses. In Milford a crowd of youngsters
have made practice of gathering about
the passenger station to the annoyance
of travelling public. In some instances
passengers boarding the trains or leav-
ing the trains are hindered, which de-
lays the movement of the train as well
as inconvenience the travelling public.

HARRINGTON GRANGE.

At the session of Harrington Grange
held April 18th, it was decided to offer
prizes from the Harrington Grange to
the winners in the Boys Corn Club, and
in the Girls Canning Club this summer.
The prizes will consist of free trips
with all expenses paid to the County
Corn Show at Dover, and these will be
awarded to the boy or girl in the vicin-
ity of Harrington who wins in these
contests. 1t was agreed that these
progressive movements are beneficial
to to the boys and the girls, as well as
to the parents, and that the future
farmers and agriculturists will be able
to profit by their experiences in the
contests now held, and for that reason
the members of Harrington Grange de-
sire to give all the encouragement pos
sible to the boys and girls who are in
terested in this work.
On Saturday evening of April 10th,
the members of the Grange at Harring-
ton had a spirited debate upon the
Woman Sufferage question, and the
affirmative side got the decision.
Last Saturday after the business ses-

WALNUTS As FOOD.

A London medical Journal recently
published some interesting facts con-
cerning walnuts as foods. According
to this authority, thirty large walnut
kernels contain as much value food as
two and three quarters pounds of lean
beef. With beef worth approximately
twenty cents a pound, this means that
each walnut is worth about two cents
as a food product as compared with
beef. That these facts will greatly en-
courage the production and consumption
of walnuts is hardly to be expected.
There is some consolation, however, in
the thought that when meat has become
a luxury to be INDUCED in only by the
rich, the general consumer can keep
his dinner very well-somewhat like
Peter Pumpkin-eater's wife-in wal
nut shell.

FIRE PROTECTION FOR LABORATORY.

The L. D. Caulk Co., have placed upon
their large laboratory building next to
the lumber yards of Louder N. Hearn,
a system of fire protection, which is
unique in this part of the country. A
large four inch connection has been made
with the water main on Cansey Avenue.
and piping run to the centre of the east
ern wall of their four-stOry building, and
thence up to the caves. Just over each
of the windows in the various stories
smaller piping runs the entire length of
the building, and over each window is a
spraying effect. which floods the window
and wall as soon as the water is turned
on at the curb-line in the street. This
prevents the window glass from break
ing when flames cause intense heat, and
accordingly protect the interior of the
building from any damage from fire.

Death OF MR.. CARROLL
AT HIS Home in MILFORD

Rev. James Carroll, a retired member
of the Wilmington Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, died at his
home on North Walnut Street, Milford,
Delaware, on Thursday morning, April
| 18th. 1915, in the 9lst year of his age.
Rev. Mr.. Carroll was admitted to the
/ Philadelphia Conference in 1865, and
when the Wilmington Conference was
| formed by the division of that Confer
ence, his lot fell to this territory where
he has since labored. He retired from
the active work of the ministry in 1899,
since which time he has resided in Mil
ford. During his active ministry he
served the following charges 1865.
Guthrieville; 1867, Laurel; 1859,
Princess Anne 1901, OnancOck; 1872,
Berlin; 1875, Bridgeville 1867, Ap-
poquinimink 1889, Galestown /; 1901,
Nassau; 1928, Beckwith 1SS4-5, Leip-
sic 1867, Greenwood 1888 80, Hous-
ton 1913, Millsboro 1S94-5, Quantico !;
1896, Rock Hall 1897, CrumptOn 1899,
Royal Oak.
His ministry did not cease with his
retirement. as the people of Milford can
testify. While for most of the sixteen
years which he spent in the lingering
and delightful glow of life's evening, he
was not able to occupy a pulpit and
preach as he had been wont to do in
former pears. yet like his Master at the
well. he was preaching to the individual.
He wrote out and circulated striking
passages of scripture. and was con-
stantly appealing to men to give their
hearts to God. He was optimistic in
temperament. strong in faith, joyful in
hope and rooted in love. He lived his
religion daily. His last illness which
began while he was in attendance upon
the session of the Wilmington Confer
ence at Laurel, was marked by the con-
slant evidences of his abounding faith
in God and the glorious hope of immor-
tality. The first few days were full of
intense suffering, but at the last he
quietly slipped the moorings of earth,
and his spirit sailed away to drop anchor
in the Haven of Rest. So passed
from US one of Gods elect.
The funeral services were held from
his late residence on Monday, April 18th, /
in charge of his pastor. Rev. w. X.
Mowbray, who was assisted by Rev. E.
H. J. Andrews of the Episcopal Church.
Rev. L. A. Bennett of the Methodist
Protestant Church. Rev. Thomas c.
Davis of the Baptist Church, Rev. H. l.. |
Bunstein of the Presbyterian Church, |
all of Milford, and the following men,
bers of the Wilmington Conference:
Rev. 7. E. Terry, Rev. H. S. Dulaney, |
Rev. j. H. Gardner, Rev. J. w. Jones
and Rev. l. S. Whitaker.
Appropriate addresses were delivered |
by Bros. Terry, Bunstein and Dulaney. |
His remains were tenderly laid to rest |
in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Milford,
there to await the summons of the res
morn.
There are left to mourn his departure
a widow, and three sons by a former
DR.. James G. Carroll of Los
Angeles, California, John w. Carroll of
Detroit, Michigan, and Rev. William A.
Carroll of the Baltimore Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.

STATE WIDE MOVEMENT
FOR GENERAL CLEANUP

There is a general effort to have all
the people get the habit of having a
general clean up the last week in April.
or as much earlier as the various towns
will agree to do this work. Wilmington
has been working this matter up for
month, and the people are taking fav-
orable view of the effort. Each indi-
vidual can influence some other individ-
ual to fall into line. 1t is now proposed
to make the movement State wide, and
the following program should be carried
out as near as possible everywhere, viz
Sunday-Civic uplift sermons in the
churches.
Monday-Fire prevention day. Clean
Easements and attics of rubbish, rags
and waste paper.
Tuesday Front yard day. Cut lawns.
plant flower beds, clean walks, salt
cracks in sidewalks, exterminate ants.
Wednesday-Dandelion day. Rid lawn
of dandeliOns, trim bushes, pull up weeds.
Thursday Paint day. Paint inside and
out. Paint porches, fences, woodwork
and porch chairs. Business houses clean
windows and replace old awnings.
Friday-Back yard day. Clean alleys,
repair fences and sheds, screen garbage
cans, put on screen doors.
Saturday-Vacant lot day. Boy scouts
and school children clean vacant lots,
removing tin cans. paper and brush.
Plow and plant garden plots.
While we may not get full co-opera-
tion on the part of all citizens, there
may be number who will take cOnsid-
cradle interest in this work, and through
their activity. it will encourage others
to follow its pursuit and in another year
it will be surprising what growth this
movement will take on. v have an
instance of last years work where one
woman was instrumental in having an
entire block cleaned up, while the Boy
Scouts and school children in some sec
tions cleaned up vacant lots, which ad-
ded much to City Beautiful and lessened
the danger of disease oftimes caused
through these accumulations.

TO RESURFACE CAUSEY AVENUE.

At the last meeting of Town Council
the Street Committee was directed to
arrange for having all that part of
and the railroad crossing, two full squares
resurfaced with Tarvia. This will make
a fine improvement, and impress visitors
who arrive via the trains with the streets
of Milford. The surface of Causey Ave
nue. was never finished. but for ten
years it has been permitted to remain
fiat and with only the bottom and middle
grades of stone of macadam roadway.
The finishing of this work will be a
credit to Town Council, and when Lake
View Avenue is graded and improved.
that part of Milford will be in keeping
with the balance of the property for it is
