The Open Meeting of Peach Blossom
Grange, Friday night, was big success.
The seating capacity of the Grange
Hall was taxed to its limit, and several
chairs had to be brought in to accommo-
date the crowd.
Miss Caudell was the first speaker,
and her theme Women as Spenders"
proved interesting and instructive. Her
address made a most favorable i'm
preston.
Prof. Harry Hayward spoke of the
''Problems of the Open Country" His
address was we'll received as he dwelt
upon rural life and the solutions of
many of its problems.

JUNIOR AUXILIARY
The Annual Meeting Was Held In
St. Anne's Church
MANY DELEGATES PRESENT

The annual meeting of the Junior
Auxiliary to the Board of Missions of
the Episcopal Church met in St. Anne's
parish, Middletown, on Saturday last.
The following parishes sent delegates:
St. Johns Trinity, Old Swedes and
Calvary, Wilmington; st. Thomas,
Newark; Emmanuel, New Castle; st.
Peters, Smyrna; Christ Church, Dover;
st. Anne's, Middletown. Some sixty
out-of-town members of the auxiliary
were present.
The service was held in the church at
10 80 o'clock. Addresses were made by
Rev. T. G. Hill, of ST. Peters, Smyrna;
Rev. R. W. Trapnell, of St. Andrews;
Rev. A. Edwin Clattenburg, assistant
rector of St. Johns, Wilmington; and
the rector of st. Anne's.
Several letters from missionaries
were read. The rector of st. Anne's
read two letters from minister friends
in Porto Rico. It was decided to send
the offering taken at the service to Rev.
L. M. A. Haughwout, rector of Holy
Trinity, Ponce, Porto Rico, for aid in
his work in that attractive field.
Mrs. Julian Cochran, Mrs. Brew and
Mrs. Salisbury were appointed COM
mittee to select candidates for nomina-
ton for officers for the ensuing year.
On their recommendation the officers of
last year were reelected: Mrs. G. C.
Hall, Wilmington, president; Mrs.
Julian Cochran, Mrs. F. M. Kirkus and
Mrs. Prettyman, vice-presidents; Miss
Lucy Jackson, Wilmington, secretary
and treasurer.
The rector of the parish was instruct
ed to send telegram to Rt. Rev. F. j.
Kinsman, D. D., bishop of the diocese,
who was unable to be present, as he is
at his summer home at Bryant's Pond,
Maine, for a short visit.
The church was well-filled with an
interested congregation who listened to
the addresses with much attention. The
address of Rev. Mr.. Clattenburg was
especially interesting. He told of the
work carried on in the Seaman's Mis-
sion, at Charlestown, Boston, which
created much enthusiasm, and the
Juniors decided to send a donation of
"ditty bags" wherein is put all manner
of things which sailors need, and which
he described as very much like lady's
workbag, but with the addition of a
much enjoyed necessity to a sailor
tobacco.
A delightful luncheon was served in
the parish house to out-of-town dele
gates and the officers of the local
branch. The menu consisted of salad,
sandwiches, cake, coffee and ice cream.
The parish house was tastefulIy deco
rated, and, as one delegate remarked,
cit looked more like wedding recep-
ton, than anything else.''

BASE BALL NOTES

Again, the fourth game played this
season, the locals on Saturday afternoon
at Academy Park, beat the heavy hit
ting Wildel A. c., of Wilmington, by a
hotly contested game, only three hits
being made off the local pitcher, Culver
with the result of one lone run, and that
by glaring error in the seventh inning.
Culver, who has famed sc men in the
last two games, was expected to do
something out of the ordinary, and,
therefore, tanning thirteen Wildel men
created no surprise. In the second and
eighth innings, every man who faced
him struck out. Of the three hits made
off him, all singles, not one went be-
yond the infeld Score:

TO INOCULATE SEED

Coating the seed of legumes with in
ocuIated soil before planting is simple
method of insuring soil incubation at
slight cost, County agents in Illinois
have found ordinary furniture glue eff
fective in holding particles of inocuIated
soil to the seeds. This method gives
each individual seed some of the par
ticles of inoculated soil which it carries
with it when it is planted. The scheme
requires but a small amount of inocu-
lated soil and costs but few cents an
acre. The method is described in
Farmers Bulletin 7O4 of the depart
ment
Dissolve two handfuls of furniture for
every gallon of boiling water and allow
the solution to cool. Put the seed in a
washtub and then sprinkle enough Of
the solution on the seed to~moisten but
not to wet it Il quart per bushel is
sufficiently and stir the mixture thor
oughly until all the seed are moistened.
Secure the inoculated soil from a
place where the same kind of plants as
the seed are growing, making sure that
the roots have a vigorous development
of nodules. Dry the soil in the shade,
preferably in the barn or basement, and
pulverize it thoroughly into a dust.
Scatter this dust over the moistened
seed, using from One-half to gallon Of
dirt for each bushel of seed, mixing
thoroughly until the seed no longer
, stick together. The seed are then ready
to SOW.

Angry Bull Kills Farmer

John Clague, aged about so years,
who lived on the farm of J. Ramsey
Speer, near Easton, met with horrible
death late Monday night. AS he entered
his barn door he was met by an infur-
lated Holstein bull, which knocked him
down in the stall and kept butting him
until the animal had broken all the
bones on the left side of his body. As
the bull was being beaten away by an
other man, who heard Clague's cries
for help, it mashed the right side of
Clague's face in by stepping on it.
Drs. Seymour and Travers were hast
lily summoned, placed Clague in DR..
Travers' automobile and started for the
Emergency Hospital at Easton. which
they reached just as the injured mar
died. He leaves a widow and four chill.
