ATTENTION, FARMERS!

The County Agent has received the
following communication;
Woodbine, N. j., Jan. 10, 1916.
Dear Strive would greatly appre-
ciate your courtesy if you could give us
the names and addresses of about one
half dozen farmers in your county who
would be interested in securing reliable
farm help. We have a number of boys
who will be ready togo out for positions
early in the spring. Some of them
have been at the school for one year
taking the course in General Agricul-
ture; others have had in addition to the
one year of General Farming lnstruc-
ton, another year in Special, Dairy,
Poultry or Horticultural work.
We want to place them with farmers
where they would have an opportunity
to obtain experience.
They are of higher type than the
average farm hand, are strictly tenn
perate and absolutely reliable in every
way.
Your assistance in this matter would
be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
j. A. RoSEN, Supt.
Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School.

Who says there there is no interest

MILK COMMIS-
SIONS ORGANIZE
Representatives From Four
States

Professor H. Hayward, dean of
the agricultural department, Del
aware College, on Tuesday attend
ed the joint milk commission of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mary
land, and Delaware, held in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms, City
Hall, Philadelphia. The Commits
sion was named by the governors
of the various states to consider
the claims of milk producers in
raising the price of milk sold in
the Philadelphia territory, and to
determine whether the price asked
is justified by the economic condi-
tions prevailing at the present
time.
Mr.. C. Crothers, the department
secretary of agriculture of PENN
sylvania, was made temporary
chairman of the meeting and Mr..
Frederick Brady of Middletown
temporary secretary. After the
purposes of the commission were
stated the question of permanent
organization was taken up. DR.
King of the Wharton School OF
| Finance of Pennsylvania, a mem
ber of the commission was made
permanent chairman, and Mr.
Henderson Supple, another Penn
sylvania m m b r, and one Oh
the largest milk distributors, sec
retary. Governor Fielder of New
Jersey, not thoroughly understand
ing the function of the Commits
sion has not as yet named any
members, but it is believed he vii
do so at an early date.
After permanent organization
had been effected, an opportunit!
was given each member to st2t
his conception of the work of tn
Commission. The members agree
that the work to be undertaken /
that of bringing distributors an
) consumers to better understand
ing of the problems that confron
each class having to do with tn

milk in cities. The work was dc

no doubt as to how Delaware's
electoral vote is going this year,
for Charles Evans Hughes, be-
cause there are more than enough
votes in Delaware to make that a
reality.
"a vote for Justice Hughes
should therefore go hand in hand
with a vote for a man who will
represent Republican principles in
the legislative branch of the gov
ernment, for without either one or
both of the legislative branches
Justice Hughes hands will be tied.
"If a man is a sufficient believer
in Republican principles, and the
Republican party to vote for that
party's choice for the highest ma
tional Office, he should, if sincere,
vote for the Republican candidate
for United States Senator, ma
tional Office that goes hand in
hand with the Presidency.
"The control of the Senate is es,
sential, for if the people elect Jus.
tice Hughes throughout the coun
try at large yet fail to give hin
control of the Senate, their will
will be thwarted.
81 reiterate again, there are
enough voters in Delaware today
who will see to it that the Presi
Dental candidate of the Republi
can party receives the electora
vote of this State, and for th'
same reason a Republican Senato
should be sent from here in th
next Senate.
"The Republican nominee fo
Senator, the Honorable Henry A
DUPONT, should be reelected il
November, and l personally knoy
that Republicans throughout tn
whole country have their eyes o
Delaware as never before and eS
, pect this State to do a whole job O
it and not a piecemeal one, whic
: will be the case if we do not cleo

Two Men Badly burned
The flare seen bn the streets of

about six-fifteen was caused by the
explosion of two carloads of pow
der at the Carney's Point plant of
the du Pont Powder Company. The
powder had been hauled to the
doors, f a sorting house and TIVE
men were erfgg3a gged in unloading,
when a tiny spark of fire ignited
the powder. A great ball of fire
shot high in the heavens illuminat-
ing the syk for many miles. The
cars stood OH the railroad track
some distance from the, sorting
house which accounts for the pre-
vention Ola more serious blaze. .
Four men received burns, two
of them, Thomas W.. Miller, aged
27, of New York; and F. J. Boyer,
aged 81; of Philadelphia, being
burned seriously. -
