MOON GOES ON

.lEnII'1 IlNvicel

In February the moon will not be
full and the next time the same thing
happens it will be 2,50O.OOG years hence,
so astronomers declare.
The fact that the moon is not to be
full in February may be cause for re-
joicing by the "drys," if there is any
thing in the signs of the heavens
The last time the moon was not full
in February was in 1856, the year af-
ter a big war, and still again if the
signs of the heavens mean anything
it may mean something to the warriors
on the blood soaked fields of Europe
During the present month the moon
viii be full for the second time. 1t was
full on the first and it viii get around
to the same condition on the goth. The
same applies in March so, therefore,
there is no chance for February to have
a full moon.

MARKET REPORTS ON PEACHES.

County Agent NJ. o. Pence has COM
pleted arrangements with the office
of Markets and Rural Organization,
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, whereby the daily telegraphich
reports of the shipments, destination
and prevailing prices of peaches, in
the big markets, will be available to
the peach growers and shippers of
Kent County, beginning August 9Th,
This date is supposed to catch the
main shipments of the first CONNER
cial variety, the Champion.
1t is planned to distribute this in
formation as directly and rapidly as
possible. To this end bulletin boards
will be operated in all towns from
which peaches are shipped, and re-
ports posted daily as received. The
banks in Camden and Wyoming will
each have bulletin board and others
are being arranged for in the other
towns of the County. The bulletins
will be posted daily in Dover at the
Office of the Produce Exchange and
possibly at one other place. Mr..
Pence will receive these reports daily
from 1890 until 900 D. m, and they
will be copied and posted, wherever
possible, that afternoon. These re-
ports will be mailed or telegraphed to
the more important towns. Those who
live close by and do not get access
% the bulletins may get the market
ilrect by phOning Mr.. Pence. These
'eports will cover the market changes /

suits, because the helpfulness is al
ready noised about. The most con-
crete evidence of the success of the
Kent Schools is the Rising Sun Com
munity Club for which the class was
taken as a nucleus. They do not want
the impression to get out that only
those who attended the school can be-
long to the club, for such is not the
case. The club is for every woman
in the community, for a mutual bene-
fit to themselves and their homes, and
they want to arrange the dues so that
there will be nothing prohibitive
about it. They already have started
a magazine exchange and other fea-
lures will be adopted later. The pres
ident is Mrs. J. C. Voshell and she is
looked upon as a leader who will
bring the club into ways of usefulness
for the neighbOrhoOd.

making schools will, it is hoped, con-
Linue in kind, as a worker under the

typhoid fever increases, but here in Del
aware we should be almost exempt from
any serious epidemic from this disease,
by reason of the porus condition of the
soil and the opportunity for drainage
After all the statements of the cause for
typhoid and the means of spreading the
germs of the disease, there is a careless
ness which borders on criminality on the
part of the people themselves. Cess pools
are left uncovered for the flies to enter
and go forth laden with dirt and disease
breeding germs. In all parts of all towns
The people must be compelled to keep

THE editorial which we reprinted from
the Every Evening as to the needs of
Delaware in the shape of a Department
of Highways, and the letter from a gen.
tleman who had travelled over the splen-
did road built by the State of Maryland,
are important for every man or woman
in Delaware to read, and to think over.
1t is clearly shown that the great success
attained came through the fact that the
Department was thoroughly organized,
was removed from the blighting hand of
county government, and that the State
is the real unit for any system of exten-
sive road building and for its maintain
ence. The Chronicle has advocated this
system for several years, and the testi-
mony of the articles referred to, but add
to the belief that Delaware can only come
into a system of good roads through and
by State Highway Department. Every
man who ever shoveled a wheelbarrow
load of dirt, thinks he is a capable road
builder, and without completed plan to
work out before starting, the movement
to get permanent roads in Delaware will |
be more or less a failure. One road from
north to south, and roads leading across
each of the counties to the county seats, /
should be the minimum object for any
Department of Highways in Delaware.

FARMERS DAY At DELAWARE COLLEGE.

The hundreds of farmers from all
parts of Delaware, the Eastern Shore
of Maryland, New Jersey and adjoin-
| ing counties of Pennsylvania. attend
ed the Farmers Day celebration at
Delaware College with their families
and found much more to interest them
on the college farm than in previous
years. This is owing to the fact that
in previous years Farmers Day was
held during Commencement week.
The orchards are now in excellent con
dition for inspection, especially the
peach orchard, which has already at
tracted such wide attention because
of the successful crops that it has
produced during the past four years.
There are hundreds of experimental
plots to inspect which furnish the
progressive farmer with much valu-
able knowledge relating to crops that
he may raise on his farm. The live
stock and the poultry department was |
one of the features that kept many |
visitors interested for a time. The |
entire forenoon was devoted to a gem
eral inspection of the farm and mem
bers of the experimental staff were on |
hand to show visitors around.
After lunch the open air meeting
was held. DR.. Samuel C. Mitchell,
president Of Delaware College was the
principal speaker This was the first
that DR.. Mitchell has had
10 attend a Farmers Day since being
elected president In addition to DR..
short addresses were made
ly Dean Harry Hayward, Professor
Charles A. McCue and Professor A. E.
Srantham, who gave brief outline
If the most practical results that have
,een obtained on the college farm in
.nimal husbandry, horticulture and
grOnomy. Eugene Shallcross, Samu-
j H. Derby and Charles Barker, re-
the three counties made a
ew remarks telling what the work
f the college has meant to their re-
pective counties.
A large number of people from
Iilford and vicinity went to the farm.

hours, and will be received here a
few hours after being collected.
1t is to be hoped that these reports
will make for better distribution, and
a better price of what promises to be
a large crop. They should put the
buyer and grower in closer touch with
the market than ever before. These
reports have been secured at no cost
to the growers, as the kilograms are
sent prepaid and the bulletins are be-
ing posted by interested parties in the
different towns. If this experiment is
appreciated and proves profitable, no
doubt similar and more complete re-
ports will follow the next season. Mr..
Pence has to satisfy the Washington
officials that he could get this infor-
nation properly distributed, and it is
now up to the growers to make use
of it.

THE gathering of slops and garbage
that can be fed to pigs commenced last
week in Milford, and the collections will
be made as stated, on Mondays and Fri
days, and this should be relief for the
women of the families where they have
been compelled to find means of distosa
for the garbage. Every family should
have a closed garbage can with tight
fitting cover kept on it al all times. A
well conducted collection of garbage will
be helpful for the public health as we'll.
as a convenience to the family.

IT is we'll for the people to remember
some of the inside facts connected with
the building of the gravel road from Mil
ford to Ellendale, which are not gener-
ally known. Several years ago the prac-
tice of getting better results from work
on the public roads in the First Repre-
sentative District of Sussex County, in
which South Milford is located, originated
with the Levy Courtman and the Super
visor of the making of the gravel roads,
to go ahead with the work at the proper
season, regardless of whether the money
was in the treasury to meet the road
orders, OF not. 1t was ascertained about
what the shortage would be, and the
Levy Courtman and the Supervisor placed
their individual note in the bank and Sc
cured the cash to pay for labor and ma
terials as the work was done. and then
took up the road orders with this money
borrowed. This enabled them to perform
the work of building the road at the
proper time, and gave to the men doing
the work prompt pay for their services !
and materials. This enabled the Levy /
Courtman and Supervisor to demand bet |
ter service from their employees, as they /
were in a measure paying for the work
as it progressed, to all intents and pur-
poses from their own pockets. This plan
has been followed by the present Levy
Courtman, George Reed and Mr.. Cook,
the Supervisor of Roads in the First Sus-
sex Representative District One is a
Democrat, the other a Republican but /
they deserve credit from both Democrats
and Republicans alike, for infusing bus
mess methods into accomplishing public ]
highway work, by making their districts
credit worth the effort of those who do '
the work, realizing that they will get S
their pay promptly for all service rem c
dered. The work is done at the proper T
time, and the quality of work given is of {
a higher grade. When the short stretch {
through the Ellendale Swamp is COM L
pleted, and Mr.. Cove Lynch completes a
the work of graveling that part connect P
ing this main road with the part leading r
into the county seat Georgetown, the s
northern part of Sussex county, will have v
sixteen miles of excellent highway which il
is a pleasure to ride over. The Levy v
courtman, Mr.. Lynch, from the neigh al
boring district, will have a splendid ex- a:
lmple of how to build fine piece of road Sc
rom that already constructed from Mil al
ord to his border, and he will also have Ii
N object lesson as to what to avoid in is
,uilding a gravel road, by remembering OF
nd escaping the mistakes of his prede- di
essor, when he started to gravel from ia
northward a few years ago, lit

lake no mistake along that line, and we on

ONE of the most successful business
men now before the American public is
John n. WHY'S, and recently be stated
some facts as to advertising which every
business man should remember, for it
applies to the large dealer and the small
dealer alike, and we print his statement
not as an advertisement, but as means
of educating business men of Milford and
vicinity to look after business with a
broader understanding. He says:
The man who buys by the ton can al
ways get better price than he who buys
by the pound. This is one of the foun-
da;iqn stones of modern business and at
the same time the greatest argument for
advertising.
The price of an article to the consumer
can be made low in proportion as the adj
vertising produces quantity sales. This
principle is not always generally under
stood. Some buyers believe that the pur-
pose of extensive advertising is to obtain
higher price. Inasmuch as the results
obtainable from the advertising depend
so largely upon the prices. it necessarily |
follows that the price will be the lowest |
that a reasonable profit will permit. The |
entire plan is predicated upon profit from
volume rather than profit per unit.
There is a benefit other than price
which the consumer gets from the ad
vertising-a guarantee of quality. Good
advertising may sell poor article for a
time, but we doubt if it can do il contin-
uously on a profitable basis. Extensive
afrrarffe5frar I1i
backed by good article.
Mr.. WHY'S states that the advertising
done by his company in the newspapers
has brought big results. Il have all the
faith in the world in newspapers, " he
says. The daily newspaper is the uni
versity of the masses. People who read
no other publications read newspapers
They get their news of the world and
iorm their opinions of people and things
from what they read in the dailies.
And the influence of the newspaper
S by no means local. It extends for a ,
-adius of many miles around the centre
If publication. The great body of news
paper readers is composed of millions of {
,ity residents and hundreds of thousands G
If people who live in neighboring cities =
md towns in the country. The vast army q,
# travellers which every city draws reads u
he newspapers. c
Consequently we bring the Overland +
Message to the attention of the public s
trough the medium OF these papeas. We 6
ind that our efforts in this direction
ave met with much success. Our news s.
aper advertising, together with adver-
ising in other fields is, in a way, "a meas
re of our success.

THE complaints have poured in since
that part of the public highway between
Milford and Frederica which is known as
'Stevenson's Lane, - was publicly criti-
cised through the columns of the Chroni-
Gle by Dr. Carlisle, and its continued
maintenance in its rough and impractical
shape for public traffic Every word
spoken by DR.. Carlisle is absolutely true ;
it is the meanest piece of state highway
to ride over of similar distance lone mile }
| in lower Delaware. Dr. Hoey of Fred
erica, and a few other people who are
compelled to use this road have from
time to time at their own expense, caused
the washed out places and the mud holes
to be filled with dirt from the roadside,
for their own convenience, and in addi-
ton they have asked that the Road En-
gineer or the Road Supervisor, either or
both, to have the road graded and made
in passable condition. This has been ig-
nored, and it also proves that there is a
flaw in the system of So called good roads
building in Kent County, which displays
a lack of actual business ability. Organize
road gangs to go from place to place with !
wagons and tractors, and be independent
of the local labor conditions. The farm |
ers have no labor to spare for the roads |
anyway; they can't get the labor they
need or when it is needed for their farm
work, not to mention calling upon them
for labor to build roadsI Get little
practical business sense injected in the
road system we already have, and that
will help some.
The road leading from Milford to Har-
-ington was stoned in way many years
ago, and it has worn out but if attention
we're given to the road now, it could be
saved with a small amount of repair, in
with what it would cost to /
ebuild it. Yes, there is about one hun
lred miles of public highway in Kent
county that should be improved, but it !
lever will be under the present system, !
nd even if some part is improved, that
art will be lost for lack of intelligent .
epair The demonstration of repairing =
hell roads with gravel, and stone roads h
nth both gravel and shells, can be seen C
] both Kent and Sussex counties, and Z
ct the Dover Index claims that we have :,
5 good a system of managing our roads

If satisfaction enjoyed by that paper n
I'D its friends, arises from the fact that :, e
lie faction to which it claims allegiance n
in control of the present administration d
affairs in Kent County. If the editorial tc
rector of the Index, and others enter n .,
lining similar ideas, will get above po- id
ical conditions, and onto a business it
sis, they will haveeto admit that the ~
ate as a unit is the only practical means al
getting good roads for Delaware with di
t wasteful experiments and neglect of
