MEETING OF FISHERMEN.

The laws of Delaware governing the
taking of fish are so complex and unsat-
isfactory that the Board of Game and
Fish Commissioners have recommended
the enactment of an entirely rev and
uniform fish law. That this law may
best serve the interests of all the fisher
men of Delaware, the board desires to
consult and advise with fishermen from
all parts of the State before submitting
the proposed bill to the Legislature.
ALI those interested in the preservation
and development of the fish industry in
both the inland and coasted waters of
Delaware are invited to meet with the
board at the State Armory in Dover on
Wednesday, January 10th, at 10 a. M,
to discuss and prepare the proposed laws.
A representative or committee from each
community interested in fishing should
be present.
JOHN P. LEFEvRE, Chief Warden.

to Philadelphia.
Miss Anna Harrington, who has been
i'll at her home for several days, has
now recovered and resumed her position
at the laboratory.
P. C. Miller is seriously i'll with typhoid
fever at his home on North Street.
Daily reports received from his physician
indicate that there is not much change
in Mr.. Miller's condition.
Following the basketball game on Sat
urday evening, the Dover girls will be
guests at spread" in the new Caulk
Club rooms. The Caulk girls will also
entertained their visitors over night.
Misses Elizabeth and Blanche Foulk

8 to O'clock, in honor of the young
ladies home from college for Christmas.
The Caulk girls basketball team will
play the strong Dover High School girls
team in Armory Hall on Saturday,
January 10th. Much interest is being
taken in this game, aa the Caulk Club
and Dover are old rivals. Although this
is the first game to be played with an
out-of-t town team, the Caulk girls are
confident of success. Come out and root
for Milford.
On the evening of January End The
Caulk Club rendered a farewell party
to two of their members, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lester Lovett, who were leaving for
their former home in Little Silver,
New Jersey. The affair was held in the
new club room in the Masonic Temple,
which has been tastefully fitted up for
the convenience of the members. Vic

cards were enjoyed and at late hour the
commitnee brought forth
eats. The party dispered at
midnight amids the strains of Goodbye

popular members of the club.

BACK TO MILFORD.

Eleven years ago there went about the
streets of Milford a small, lusty-voiced
boy selling sweet corn to the housewives.
Whether the practice of crying out his
wares" had any influence on the subse
quent career of this boy is matter of
conjecture in any event, he has become
a singer, and is to return to the scene of
his first vocal attempts on February 8th
in the Presbyterian Church. Since his
family moved from Milford, Ralph
Walker has been almost continually en-
gagged in some form of musical endeavor.
He has had eight years of choir work
made an extensive study of the violin
directed a prominent choral society in
Camden, N. j., for a season, also, spent
one year as a chorister in a Camden
church. Finally he is filling the position
as principal soloist in church in North
ern New York has the distinction of be-
ing the highest paid singer in that part of
the State, and has accepted numerous
engagements in concert, recital and or
atorio work. A large number of Milford
folks will remember Mrs. Walker, who
sang in the Presbyterian Church for a
of years.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
BEFALLS MRS. TOPPING

Mrs. B. Brown Topping, was horribly
burned while attending her usual house.
hold duties at her home on South Wal
nut Street, Milford, on Friday afternoon
last. She had been assisting to care for
her husband, who has been i'll for several
days. and in passing a gasoline stove
where wax was being melted with which
to wax the hardwood floors, she stopped
to look at it, when the mass ignited and
in an instant Mrs. Topping was enveloped
in flames. She was horribly burned
about the limbs and the body the skin
peeled off in small sheets, and her cries
of agony aroused not only her own fam
lily, but the neighborhood. The medical
attention necessary was given by DR.. j.
Lynn Pratt, but her burns are of very
dangerous character. She is the wife
of one of the most prominent jewellers
and a recent member of the Milford
Town Council. Mrs. Topping was for
merly Miss Hill of Chincoteague, Va,
and has been a very popular resident of
Milford for the past sixteen years. Two
sisters reside at Atlantic City, N. j.,
and Miss Imogene Hill, the stenographer
with the l. D. Short Lumber Company,
is the youngest of the sisters.

WOULD STOP STATE AID.

The State Board of Education at the
regular monthly meeting in Dover last
Friday adopted resolutions asking the
Legislature to discontinue the appropria-
tions to aid students from Delaware at
the Pennsylvania state normal schools
preparing for teaching. The resolutions
ask that the appropriations be continued
until June of the present year, but not
after The resolutions cite that the
State has made provision at Delaware
College for the free tuition of students
from the State, and that the college has
made satisfactory preparation in courses
and classes for the preparation of teach
ers. The board transacted much routine
business. Miss Mary E. Rich, professor
of education, Women's College of Della
ware, reported on visits to the rural
schools of New Castle County. Kansas
State Normal Training School was added
to the list of approved normal schools.

HORSES STOLEN NEAR HARRINGTON.

Two valuable horses, a black mare and
a black horse, were stolen from the
stables of their owners on Thursday
night last, and despite all efforts to get
track of the horses or the thieves, no
trace has been found after their tracks
were lost in the mud as they Travelled
the public road leading northward near
Harrington. One of the horses was
owned by James 0utteR, who resides
one mile from Vernon, and the other is
owned by Mr.. Elson, who only few
DAYS ago moved to a farm near Burrs-
vile. Both are fine animals, and the de-
scriptions of them have been telephoned
to all parts of this peninsula. 1t was
reported that the horses had been seen
at Chesapeake City, Md, on Friday
morning, but that was not fact so far
as it could be verified. The thief or
thieves took nothing but the animals and
the halters. and made a quick getaway.
Several believe that the horses have been
secreted in the woods, and no attempt
made to get them away while the excite
ment of their loss is fresh in the memory
of the public; in that case they may be
hidden away in any of the many woods
a few miles distant from where they
were stolen from.

INSPECT YOUR FRUIT TREES

The January number of the Delaware
Farmer, which is published monthly by
the Agricultural Club of Delaware Col
lege, contains an article by the college
entomologist that should be read by every
fruit grower, whatever the number of
his trees. Many growers have heard so
much about spraying and have practiced
it so long that they have come to con
slider it the only treatment necessary for
insect enemies. The three insects de-
scribed in this article, the apple tree tent
caterpillar, the white masked tussock
moth, and the bag worm, are so common
that every one has seen them and the
work. All three of them can be con-
trolled effectively by the removal of the
egg masses in winter. When winter
pruning is practiced many of these egg
masses will be found and can be easily
removed. Even when no pruning is done
it will often pay to inspect the trees in
winter, especially if they are young ones,
as these insects work their injury in
spring and summer when it is less con-
venient for the busy man to attend to
them. Moreover, it is much easier to
destroy a hundred caterpillars before
they are Matched than afterward, be-
cause the eggs may occupy but a half
inch of space on a limb, while the worms
travel far.

SHAWNEE SCHOOL HOUSE
BURNED TO The GROUND

Fire completely destroyed the Shaw
nee School House, two miles southwest
from Milford, about one O'Clock Satur-
day morning last. How the fire origi-
mated is unknown. The books, furniture
and supplies were all lost, and the flames
were beyond control when the fire was
first seen. This school building was one
of the best rural school structures in use,
and the people of the district are of the
most advanced in thought, in business
methods and in fruit growing especially.
A Parent Teacher Association is main
tanned in a very active condition, and the
Milford Grange has many members re-
siding in the district. Such men as B.
F. B. Woodall, one of the leading truck
ers and a member of the Peninsula
Horticultural Society, reside in and
about Shawnee, and the burned building
was the meeting centre for the people
generally. 1t is possible that a larger,
modern building with a modern heating
plant will be erected at once on the site
of the old structure, which will be a
credit to the progressive folks who com
pose the Shawnee District. The loss
from the fire will approximate 81, 10000.

FISH COMPANY DECLARE DIVIDEND.

Those who hold stock in the Milford
Fish Oil and Fertilizer Company received
this week checks for ten per cent divi-
dend from the earnings of the company
during the past summer season. The
directors voted to build another steamer
for use this coming season, and for that
purpose increased their capitol stock,
which is to be offered to the present
stockholders before any outsider can get
a chance att. This company has large
crab grinding plant at the mouth of the
Mispillion River, and immense pens along
the shore where the king" crab or
Horseshoe crabs are impounded by the
hundreds of thousands during the month
of June and July when these crabs seek
the shore of the Delaware Bay to spawn.
At that season the sands are covered
with blue eggs, the size of shad row eggs,
and it is these eggs which attract the
millions of weakfish to the bayshore
each season.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE GOES TO DOVER.

At the meeting of the Superintendents
and the Commissioner of Education held
in Dover last week, the place for hold
ing the next Annual Teachers Institute
was decided upon, and Dover won the
decision. The date was fixed for No
vember, and the talent to lecture was
partly arranged for at the same time.
Dover, Milford and Laurel asked for the
institute, but it was decided that the
time for rotation of places for holding
the annual meeting of the teachers had
not arrived, and so Dover won from a
central standpoint of view.

HEAVY Wind And rain
STORM in this SECTION

The heaviest wind and rainstorm of
the winter struck this section Tuesday
night and blew a gale until daybreak.
The wind blew from the northeast and
was accompanied by binding rain.
While no great damage is reported from
any districts, the wind did much damage
in small way. Trees without number
were broken off, small houses were
partly unroofed, windows were blown
out, and other damage done. Owing to
the frozen condition of the ground, the
water laid on top of the soil and caused
much inconvenience in getting about. The
northeast winds sent extra high tides
in the creeks and the marshes were
overfowed At Wilmington several
buildings were badly damaged by the
storm.
