with the people. the farmers of eastern
and the northern part of Sussex County,
enroute to the State Fair at Wilmington.
1t is a conservative statement to make,
that fully seventy-fve per cent of all the
automobiles owned by farmers in Kent
and Sussex County went to Wilmington
last week carrying from four to seven
people in each machine. 1t is also true
statement, that probably not over one
person in ten of those who went, would
have gone had they have been left to the
of travelling by the railroad
trains. The family parties made the trip
at very small cost or outlay, and there
by were able to see the fine farming lands
Df Kent and New Castle, and realize Just
now big a town Wilmington has got to be.

DELAWARE HOG SOLD FOR $1,000

The Delaware College Experiment
Farm has again attracted wide atten-
tion by breeding and developing what
is claimed to be the highest priced pig
in the world. This pig is a thorough
bred Berkshire, known as Duke of
Sussex 9Th, 159,0SS, was one of the
first pigs developed at the College
Farm, where the herd of Berkshires
was started several years ago. DR..
E. S. Duebler, an old student of Pro-
fessor Haywards, head of the agricul-
tural department of the college, who
is an expert on Berkshire pigs bor-
rowed this noted pig early last winter.
Shortly afterwards the hoof and
mouth disease broke out here and as
the + og could not be brought back to
Delaware at that time, he was sold to
the Penhurst Farm, in Pennsylvania,
for 500. About this time the Duke
of Sussex began to attract much at
tention among Berkshire breeders
and only recently he was sold to c.
H. Carter, of Whitguern Farm, West
Pa, for $1,000. This makes
the Duke of Sussex the highest-priced
living pig of any breed.

SCHOOL NOTES.

We have secured something unusual
for the schools and their friends. A pre-
sentation of the Passion Play of Oberam-
morgan in lecture and over 200 colored
pictures is new here, and brings to us
glimpses of what people all over the globe
90 at great expense to see.
For centuries in the Middle Ages, at
various points in Europe, religious dramas
called variously Miracle, - Mystery, -
and Passion" plays, were given at times
OF religious festivals, but this old custom
survives only in the little Bavarian village
of Oberammergan, the long name mean
ing the upper (ober) of two villages in
the district gam of the upper Ammer
River. Nearly three hundred years ago,
though even in the 18th century some
such religious drama was performed, at
the time of a devastating plague, the viii
layers made vow, that, if spared further
ravages, they would thereafter, every ten
years, for the instruction of mankind.
present in dramatic form the story of
Christ's life an suffering.
With very few exceptions this vow has
been fulfilled. Delaware people went in
I9UO and 1910 to Oberammergan to see
the Passion Play, and many will plan to
go III l9zO. Its an entirely unique thing
IN human experience to-day.
Mr.. @. A. Weber has seen the Passion
Play many times, has repropuctions of all
the official views of scenes and persons.
besides many of his own and brings this
to us on Monday evening, at s o clock, at
High School, Let me confess regret that
did not dare venture on something |
larger, was eager that as many as could |
be seated in the largest hall in town
might enjoy it.
This can not fail to be thoroughly en-
oyable and valuable lecture. It has been
given thousands of times by Mr.. Weber.
IS well as by others, throughout Christian
Countries, and must prove a fascinating
hing to all interested in New Testament
haracters and history.

GROOM IN JAIL AFTER MARRIAGE.

Dover was stirred on Sunday last
when a couple, the bride of whom

The couple were Miss Delma Masten.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Mas
ten who moved to Dover from Farm
ington about a year ago, and Joseph
Carsley. who until a few months ago
was a resident of Dover.
On Sunday the girl left Dover os-
tentatiOusly to go to church, but so
far as is known did not attend. An
automobile was secured by Carlsey
and the driver was instructed to drive
them to Elkton. Md. State Detective
Murphy and Constable Van SAINT. OF
Dover, started in pursuit of the elop-
ing couple as soon as it was learned
what their purpose was, and they
wired the ElktOn authorities to be on
the lookout for them. When near
Elkton the elopers changed their
course and went to Bethel, Maryland.
where the ceremony was performed.
Carlsey and his bride, believing
they were beyond the reach Of the
law after marriage, returned to Dover
only to fall into the hands of State
Detective Murphy and Constable
Van SAINT, who had returned from Elk !
ton, and he was arrested and taken to |
Jail, where he was held on a charge |
Of abduction of a child under 15 years |
Of age until Tuesday, at which time |
he was released.

DELAWARE College TESTING
COWS VALUE AS BUTTER MAKERS
1t Costs The Farmer Nothing To Make
The Tests.

! The Extension Department of the
Delaware College is making an effort
through Mr.. Hugh Fergus who was re-
Gently put in charge of dairy work, to
aid the dairymen of this section by assist
ing them in keeping records by the fol-
lowing plans, viz:
All dairymen, who are interested, will
be furnished milk sheet on which
the daily production of each COW in the
herd can be recorded as it is weighed.
Once a month Mr.. Fergus will visit the
farm and leave sample bottles, in which
a sample of each cows milk for that day
can be taken. This will be tested for
butterfat, and by multiplying the pounds
of milk each COW produces during the
month, by her test, the pounds of but
terfat can be determined.
In a book left at the farm for this pur-
pose, this is all recorded, also the value
of her product. On this same monthly
visit the amount of grain and roughage
fed each COW will be weighed, and this
multiplied by the number of days in the
month, so that the approximate amount
OF feed she eats, is noted. This is
charged against her; the roughage at
farm prices and the grain at market
prices. Having the value of her product
and the cost of her feed, the profit or
loss on each COW for the month is deter
mined.
This will be done for period of twelve /
months, and at the end of the year these I
figures will be totalled, so the /
dairvman will know the following in re-
gard to each COW for the year: her amount
Of milk, butter-fat, average-test, tile
The value of her product, the amount of
feed she has eaten, and the profit or loss
She has returned her owner.
With this record as a basis the dairy
nan will know exactly at the end of the
1ear, how each COW in his herd stands;
10, that if he is selling any COWS, he will
Inow which his poorest ones are; and
llso, if he is saving heifer calves, he will
'now the best cows to save them from.
In addition to this the dairymen who
re interested will be assisted in figuring
nut economical and balanced rations.
Mr.. ]. H. Skewis. just north of Mil
ord, has already had this work started /
n connection with his herd, and if any \
ther dairymen in this section are inter A
sted in this work, they can reach Mr.. /
'ergus through Mr.. Skewis before his
ext visit to this section in the early b
art of October. +

are thousands who do know them in both
Kent and Sussex counties, a statement of
this character is not only ridiculous, but
it is branded as plain lie, told for a
narrow purpose, to create false senti-
ment against General du Pont. First
Mr.. du Pont is not asking to be permitted
to give the boulevard it is the people,
both Democrats and Republicans, joining
in petition and request personally that he
build the roadway between the points
where the rights of way are brought to
him without any contest or lawsuits. Is
that what is troubling the Index writer?
Second: There are only a very, very
few in Sussex County who do not favor |
the plan of having re-enforced concrete
road built and given to the State, and on
the other hand there is only a few in the
entire State who want the State to issue
a million dollars of bonds to build road,
and then have it to maintain afterwards
and, of that few, the Index writer pro-
fesses to be one-but even that we doubt, /
ior the past record of the Index shows no {
endency toward any real plan or method
o get better roads even in the county |
rhe majority of the men behind the ef-
ort to get the du Pont highway built
through Sussex County are Democratic

ONE glance at the streets of Milford
during the working hours of the day,
will show in striking manner the great
transformation in the handling OF all
kinds of freights which has taken place
in that part which involves hauling over
the public streets or highways in the past
FIVE years-or since the motor truck came
into general use, 1t is a common sight
to see on our streets the big trucks load
ed with tons of bulky freight, and that
truck inturn pulling another heavy loaded
wagon or trailer piled high with freight
Those who have engaged in hauling as a
business, are now using the auto-trucks
exclusively; and as a matter of fact, they
can not afford 10 use horses, for the rea-
son they are slower than the trucks,
costs more to maintain when not in SER
vice, haul much smaller loads, and waste
time by keeping labor idle while covering
the routes between the loading and uu-
loading points. The trucks more than
treble the amount of business for the
owners. Truly the old ways of our fore
fathers are not good enough for the men
who are engaged in the business of the /
present day. 1t is only ignorant people !
who now pretend to believe in that old |
saying and, those who are ewel1informed, |
or of even an inquiring turn of mind,
usually pity the poor Ounce who desires
to continue to live in a FOOLS paradise.
Times change, and the people change |
with them-and for the better.
Milford chronicle., 1915-09-17

AN unbiased view of the chance to get
real boulevard roadway through Sussex
County. or any other county, as expressed
editorially by the Evening Journal of
Wilmington, is as follows:
stripped of all confusing terms and
viewed merely in the light of dollars and
cents, the road proposition should appeal
to every fair minded citi:en as a straight
forward business proposition. Every
farmer knows that improved roads mean
increased land values. If it is a good
business proposition for the State to em-
bark in road building and tax every
property owner in proportion to his road
frontage, surely it is a good business
proposition for the land owner to tax
himself for the same purpose.
Let every land owner along the pro
posed route do little figuring and care
fully take into consideration the state
ment made at the meeting of last Satur-
day, that land values along the already
completed section of the road have ad-
Vanced as much as one hundred per cent.
I'm other words, the loss of land as
compared with the gain in value should
make a difference pleasing enough to
unite the minds or those affected by the
proposed route.
In less than five years after the boule-
ward is completed, even those who an
tagonized its building will praise its
benefits. The same conditions of oppo-
sition existed when William 1. Simpson
built the drainage canal through Slaugh- |
ter and Prime Hook Necks, and nov
none can be found who will not say it /
was a benefit to them.

TRAVEL between the north and south.
ern ends of Delaware has adopted new
methods and means to pass to and fro.
The automobile has cur into the railroad
traffic to an extent that is not realized by
the public, and it has also created a de-
sire to travel over the country, which is
benehtting the people, by widening their
scope of view and bringing a realization
of the advantages of coming into personal
contract with the people and viewing the
of other sections. Com
parison is educating the people, and to
that extent the automobile is a blessing
as a civic improving medium. Last
Thursday at an early hour automobiles
started to pass through Milford in con-
inuous line every few minutes, loaded

THE editorial writer in the Dover, Del
aware, Index has no disposition to be
either honest or fair in its treatment of
matters in which it is antagonistic. In
the proposal to build the du Pont Boule-
ward it has always been a rabid, senseless
and vicious antagonist, never hesitating
to misrepresent the truth, or disseminate
false rumors. In its issue Of last week the
Index writer published the following:
Notwithstanding the fact that the last
Legislature refused to grant the amend
ments asked for, and other strong indi-
cations of opposition to his plan for Civ
ing ID the State boulevard, Mr.. T. c.
du Pont seems loath to give up his
scheme of getting a two-hundred-foot
right of way through the State. Most |
people know when they are not wanted |
and stay away, but there are exceptions. |
Very few people now favor the plan which
du Pont, by his hired attorneys and lobby, |
got through the Legislature under the
of a great gift to Delaware. OF
course, there are Republican politicians
and counsel who try to make it appear
that such boulevard is favored in some
places, hut they know, and du Pont
knows. that the thing is no real gift, and
that the plan is not one for public i'm
provement, but one for some form of
private gain. The State can and should
build its own boulevard" I" s
