WILL You TAKE TEACHERS?

The teachers in the Sussex County
Public Schools will assemble in Mil
ford on November 21st, 22nd and 23d.
to attend the annual Teachers Insti-
tute, which will be held in Armory
Hall those dates, day and evening.
The hotels cannot possibly care for
all the teachers, and therefore it will
be well for private families to let the
people who are interested in the hold
ing of the institute in Milford, know
how many teachers they would like to
entertain for those days. If your
name and address is left with C. d.
Abbott e Co.. with the number of
teachers you will accommodate they
will make a record of the list, and
when the teachers make inquiry will
refer them to you directly, so that
your business will be clearly under
stood by yourself and the teachers.
The teachers pay their own bills for
entertainment. and do not expect to
be entertained free, like the preach
ers when conference is held in the
town, so those who can take teachers
into their homes will be repaid for
the trouble and expense of caring for
them.

TEACH CHILDREN TOWN GOVERNMENT

The charter and ordinances of any
town should be made a part of the
public curriculum for the public
schools of the town in which the
school is located. This will have two
very important effects upon the chill
dren and bring about a general know
ledge Of and respect for the charters
and general laws under which the
people live. Have the charters and
ordinances printed in pamphlet form,
and let at least two periods each week
be devoted to teaching the children
civic laws under which they and their
parents are actually living. This will
be more liable to remain with the
boys and girls, than any theoretical
or general teaching can possibly ef-
feet. This suggestion was made by
lady in Milford last week to the Board
of Education. or rather to member of
that board, and it will bear consider
ing favOrably.

at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard

ICPOSTS REGULATE
TRAVEL NOW In MILFORD

The new system of directing traffic
in the business part of Milford went
into effect last Saturday, and it sur
prising how quickly the people are
catching onto the requirements and
the regulations. A policeman was
stationed at each of the posts on Sat
urday. and will be stationed there
during the greater part of each day
during the week. to direct traffic until
the rules are generally understood.
The only trouble they had on the first
day was with persons driving car
riages or horse drawn vehicles; very
few, if any. automobiles required in
struction, except on South Walnut
and Front street. where the intersec-
tons are not directly opposite each
other. Only two or three individuals
manifested any inclination to criti-
else unfavOrably, and they were curtly
informed to "obey the instructions, or
come to the Alderman's office to set
tie the fine" and that Strengthened |
their objections into conformity with |
the regulations at once. In two |
weeks time, observing the traffic rules /
will have become a custom, and the /
people will be surprised how much /
better for all concerned it is to have
a system for traffic to pass over the
streets. Any person running into or
breaking any of the traffic sign posts
in any manner, can be prosecuted un-
Ter malicious mischief laws, until the
new ordinances are enacted by the
Town Council. All persons will have
o remember that teams or vehicles
II any kind cannot be left standing
within fifty feet of any corner on the
treets intersecting with Walnut
treet.

Dogs NOW CLASSED AS
PROPERTY IN DELAWARE

In days previous to the meeting oil
the last legislature dogs were not con
sidered in the sight of Delaware law
as property, only under certain condi-
tions, and for that reason a few men
and women in Delaware apparently
believed it not unlawful, and a priv
ilege vested in them to steal any dog
he or she might fancy for his own, or
for sale out of the state.
This has all been changed by the
laws passed at the last session of the
Delaware legislature, and we repub-
lish the law in full as it appears in the
Revised Code of this state, for general
information, with the hope that it
may keep some from getting into
trouble through unlawfully taking or
keeping, a dog.
There are many valuable dogs of
all breeds and classes, not only in the
vicinity of Milford, but in all parts of
Kent and Sussex Counties in the State
of Delaware. These dogs are consid-
cred by the class of criminals referr-
ed to above, as a proper prey for their
greed. Not many of that class are
aware that such pilfering has been
made to spell LARCENY in Delaware
law, and it is only fair to serve notice
on them that such is the case.
We especially advise this class that
the Eastern Beagle Club of Delaware,
is determined to take the initiative if
necessary, and prosecute any and all
persons in stealing or harboring a
dog which does not belong to them.
The law as copied from the Revised
fDdn ,f nAT. &c s,.
4735, page 2O72, reads as follows;
Section Is, Dogs; Larceny of; Pen
atty; Advertisement by person other
than owner; Failure to Advertise; |
Penalty.
Whoever shall steal, entice away
or unlawfully have in his possession, |
any dog, shall be deemed guilty of |
larceny, and shall be subject to the
same punishment as is provided by
law for the punishment of persons
convicted of larceny.
Whoever shall have in his possess
sion dog not belonging to him, shall
advertise a brief description of said
dog in a newspaper of the city, town
or county, in which such person re-
sides, and, if the said dog is claimed
by it's rightful owner, sh-ll deliver
the said dog on demand to such owner,
after said owner shall have reimburs-
ed him for inserting said advertise
ment. Any person who shall have in (
his possession any dog not belonging
to him. without advertising as afore-
said, shall be taken and deemed to be
guilty of larceny"
The hunting season in Delaware is
close at hand. and the dog thieves are
beginning operations. We are print d
ng this news so as to serve notice
lpOn the thieves, that the law and the I
penalty is sufficient to protect the t
,wners of dogs. Then if one or more S
II them receive lashes for such crimes c
hey cannot plead ignorance of the t
aw; although ignorance is no excuse c
n the eyes of the law.
