FILLING RANKS OF COMPANY B

The recruiting of the National
Guard in Delaware has been slow but
it is being accomplished. At George
town there have been twenty-six
who have enlisted and assigned to
Company B and who will be trained
by Captain Cannon and Sergeant
Wells Of the United States army.
They have secured a hall for the Sc
curity of property and will drill each
week on Monday night. Another con
tingent has been recruited at Har-
rington by the efforts of Sergeant
John Kern, who is working at that
place, and who will look after the
drill of the men who reside there.
The recruits from Milford are very
few in numbers; what is the matter
with the young men of Milford. The
annual field training will be held in
July and those who have joined at
the present time and previously will
be the only ones taken for that work.

ENFORCING HEALTH LAWS

The Town Council of Milford.
through its Health Board, is enforc-
ing the laws for the protection of
health as well as of property and
peace of mind. The merchants have
been haled into court and made to
pay fines for maintaining nuisances
in the rears Of their store property.
and are now compelled to keep those
places decent. or be again fined. This
is all right.
The Case of Dead Dog.
Last Saturday an automobile killed
a dog in front of Central Garage, and
Policeman Deputy hired a colored
man, Trusty Smith, to take the dead
dog and bury it according to the laws.
but instead of doing this, Smith tied
bricks around the body of the dog
and threw it into the Mispillion river
in the, town limits. This came to the
of the authorities and they
caused a warrant to be issued for
Smith, and at his trial he was fined
$11, to refund in addition the fifty
cents he had received from the police
for burying the dog, and compelled
to take the dead animal and bury it
under the supervision of the police.
The throwing Of dead animals into the
river will be broken up and the Of
tenders fined The experience was
costly one for Smith, but it is a warn
ing to others.

The Delaware Bay shore fisheries
are delivering thousands of dollars
to the men engaged in the business
of fishing with seines between Cape
Henlopen and Bombay Hook, and the
greatest hauls of food fish are made
at Slaughter Beach and Cedar Beach
in Sussex County, and at Bowers
Beach, Big Stone and Benefits Pier,
in Kent County.
The above picture represents
scene last Monday evening when one
of the big seines was drawn in and
before the whole seine was landed or
the wagons got down to the waters
edge at Slaughter Beach ten miles
east from Milford. There were four
seines fishing that night and the big
seine hauled by Charles Reed and his
crew of eight men landed what was
estimated at the time to be about $50
bushels of sea trout, blue fish and
other varieties in scattering num-
bers.

FISH RATCHERY

The Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries of the House OF Repre-
sentatives has incorporated Repre-
sentative Thomas W. AIiller's bill
providing for a fish hatchery and fish
cultural station at the headwaters Of
Delaware Bay in a general omnibus
bill which has been introduced and
will soon be reported by that com
mittee.
This bill carries a total appropria-
ton of 100000, for fish cultural sta
tions in number of states along the
Atlantic seaboard. One of the pro-
visos of the general bill is that the
states wherein the stations are auth
Orized shall by legislative action ac-
cord the United States Commissioner
OF Fisheries the right to conduct fish
Matching and fish culture and all op-
erations in connection Herewith in
any manner and at any time that they
may consider necessary the various
laws Of the states to the contrary not
withstanding. The bill will soon be
placed upon the calendar but after it
passes the House it may not reach
the Senate for consideration until the
next session, which will give the next
session of the Delaware Legislature
ample opportunity to provide recipro-
cal legislation.
