In the Eight-Cylinder Cadillac
 Holds New Vaccinations

One of the greatest boons which the Eight Cylinder Cadillac confers upon motorists is, that 1t removes the strain and the weariness from long distance motor travel. Men and women all over the world are awakened to this delightful discovery, The roads of the continent are calling to them with a new charm and a new nsistence. The Cadillac Eight has supplied the last necessary link in the chain of causes which con-
 stitute the thing called luxury. It sets the traveller free from taut nerves,
 from tense muscles, and from constant con- centraton on the performance of the car. All the glorious jingle of noseess flight
 through space is there in increased measure.
 But the strain is gone-gone and forgotten, because the flow of power is continuous, so smooth so flexible and so quiet that you are
 scarcely conscious that the engine exists. There are no convusive movements of the motor no noise of straining and labor, no irritating vibration.
 You relax and rest, in the Cadillac, because the unpleasant reminders of effort and labor are removed.
 You forget the engine, you forget the chanical system which is carrying you forward. You luxurate in sense of serene well-beng and comfort.
 Your mind is released from its thraldom to the car, and turns thousand times more often
 to the beauty of the road, of the sky and of the landscape.
 The joy of touring is not only greater joy in the Cadillac, but it calls into being new set
 of physical and mental sensations.
Connecticut western news., 1916-06-08

Heretofore, no matter how gallantly your car mounted hill, you were conscious every moment that it was climbing-that it was labor ing.
 Now you know that the hill was high only because you saw it before the mount began-or looked back after the crest was reached
 You travel almost continuously on high gear-under throttle control.
 The power-application is so fluid that, when you accelerate the speed the effect is very much as though you had turned on" the power, as you turn on" water by opening spigot
 As for sound and vibration, the engine scarcely seems to be energizing at all.
 The simply glides from one rate of travel to another without apparent effort or hesitation.
 The mind is lulied into repose and the body obeys the impulse of the mind
 Cadillac thoroughness is responsible for the accuracy of every function which contributes to the efficiency of the engine.
 The known stability of the Cadillac inspires a confidence which removes all anxiety for your safety.
 The pleasures of today are not marred by apprehensions for tomorrow.
 And, too, the spring suspension, the deep soft upholstery, the smooth easy acting clutch and brakes, the ease of handling and control, all share in resting and soothing mind and body.
 With bad roads largely robbed of their terrors and good roads made almost doubly de- lightful-with hills no longer to be dreaded with a of velvet softness in every motion of the and every movement in its operation, there is renewed and irresistible call to long distance touring which-in the Cadillac-be- comes unalloyed delight !, Winsted, Conn.

licitiously.
"Yes,' nodded Monte, and went out
into the night again.
THERE was nothing he could do-abso-
lutely nothing. She had given her or

turned to the Quai Massena, to the shore
of the sea; but he walked nervously now
in world that, as far as he was concerned,
was starless and colorless. He had thought
at first, naturally enough, that Hamilton
was in some way concerned; but he dis
missed that now as wholly unplausible.
Instead of running away, in that case, she
would have sent for him. 1t was decidedly
more likely that this was some strange
whimsy springing from within herself.
In looking back at the last few days, he
recalled now that upon several occasions

ger. If Hamilton were eliminated, who
then remained by whom she could feel
menaced? Clearly it must be himself.
The conclusion was like a blow in the
face. 1t stunned him for moment, and
then left his cheeks burning. If she had
scuttled away from him like frightened
rabbit, it could be for only one reason:
because he had not been able to conceal
the truth. And he had thought that he
had succeeded in keeping this danger to
himself.
He turned in the direction of the Hotel
d'Angleterre. He did not intend to
try to see her. He wished only to be
little nearer. Surely there was no harm
in that. The boulevard had become de-
serted, and he was terribly lonesome out
here alone. The old black dog that had
pounced upon him in Paris came back
and Rugged him closer.
He squared his shoulders. He must
shake himself free of that. The thing to
keep in mind was that he did not count
in this affair. She alone must be consid-
cred. If he had frightened her, he must
find some way of reassuring her. He
must take a tighter grip than ever upon
himself, face her tomorrow, and laugh
away her fears. He must do that, be-
cause he must justify her faith in him.
That was all he had of her-her faith in
him. If he killed that, then she would 60.
After this last week. to be here or any
where else without her was unthinkable.
He must make her believe that he took
even this new development lightly. He

he might coax her back little way into
his life.
That was not very much to hope.
MONTE was all wrong. From begin

CORN CONTEST WINNERS

The State Board of Agriculture has
announced the names OF winners in
the annual corn contest, in which com
petitors try for the highest yield on a
single acre. No stipulations are
made in this contest regarding the
cost OF the corn, but in all cases this
year the cost has evidently been low
enough to insure a good profit.
First prize, $40, John Ponder, hill
ton-Yieid rs bushels, shelled grain.
Second prize. $40, Charles Revell,
Millsboro Yield "A bushels shelled
grain.
Third prize, $40. d. T. Mustard,
Lewes-Yield 6S bushels shelled grain
OF these the lowest is almost as
much as the best of last year. 1t is
a very hopeful sign that in several
localities in the county, especially
those in which the prize winners re-
side, a lively interest in high corn
yields has been developed as a result
of this contest and it looks as if the
winners this year would have to hus-
tie to maintain a lead in 1917.
Five prizes for white potatoes are
also offered each year by the State
Board of Agriculture. One of these,
amounting to $50, has been awarded
to Howard Bryan, living near Angola,
who grew POI bushels of Rehoboth
potatoes on one acre. Other excel
lent yields of this variety have been
reported, and evidence from former
years in the other counties shows that
a good yield can be expected from it,
even if the eating quality is not all
that could be desired
To date one entry from Sussex has
been made in the dupont Land Re
clamatiOn Contest for boys, this en-
try being that OF Edwin Smith, living
five miles north of Georgetown. The
chief aim of this contest is to increase
in reclaiming worn out, wet,
or otherwise unproductive land. Each
boy works on one acre, and plants
any crop he desires. There is plenty
Of land in the county in need of re-
claiming there being on almost every
farm at least one spot, large or small,
that lowers the average of crops for
that farm. and it remains only for
boys with energy and enterprise to
get to work on these spots.

4 CASE OF PRACTICAL SYMPATHY

Recently Miss Sallie Hitch, a maid
en- lady yerging into old age. who re-
sides upon Truitt Avenue, North Mil
| ford. was stricken with paralysis and
she has since been absolutely help
less. Her little house and lot is OF
no great value. and she has no means
to support herself for the balance OF
her days
A woman nurse has to help the
large woman in and out of her bed,
and almost drag her into a chair; she
is helpless.
The Kings Daughters. a charitable
organization of Milford, has been pro-
viding for her wants for two weeks
and more. but their treasury is now
depleted and unless help is given lib
orally. this is where a fellow citizen
will suffer for care as well as for
food.
Mrs John Truitt and Mrs. Elmer
Williams have been making can
vass to get funds for the immediate
relief Of this case. but there is a fut-
ure-it may be years. or it may be foi
only a short time-that help must be
given.
How much do you sympathize with
the troubles OF Miss Sallie Hitchg Is
it a hundred dollars? Then send your
check to either of the above ladies.
If it is only for 81 or $40 send it at
once. Food as well as attention must
be given for suffering such as this
case
We understand there are relatives
living somewhere of Miss Hitch. Ii
such there be, now is the time for
them to show their Christian feelings
by coming forward and extending real
help for their afflicted relative; but
let that not hold back sweet charity.
Our wealthy women of Milford will
not permit a sister of their home town
to suffer because of physical afflic-
ton. Act now and discuss the mat
ter later.
