TO OUR MANY CUSTOMERS.

In the case of contagious diseases there
/ IS always danger Of returning milk con-
| tainers from the point Of contagion.
Even though one sterilizes the bottles
and takes all the necessary precautions
known to the Sanitary Milllman the fact
remains that the danger is still great
by reason Of the fact that the bottle
leaving the contagious house has come in
contact with the other bottles and even
In contact with the delivery wagon in
terror thereby leaving a stream Of germs
in its wake.
The above facts may sound far fetched.
but they have been proven beyond a
shadow Of doubt by our foremost milk
specialists.
In order that we may give this danger
GUS condition a scrap" we have lately
secured some of the "Janish Sanitary
Fibre MIX Bottles"
Owing to war conditions these bottles
are very expensive and very scarce
However, we shall use them in the case
Of sickness existing on our route.
should you at any time have a dis
ease of a contagious nature break out in
he family, kindly notify us Immediately
and we shall serve your milk in these
hbre bottles without any extra charge
to you.
After using the milk you would i'm
mediately burn the bottle in your stove
thus minimizing the danger Of contagfon
from that source
You may readily see that by using
these Fibre Bottles" you are protecting
one another without any extra expense to
yourselves and at a time when all pre-
cautions should be taken for the physical

DEMONSTRATION SCHOOLS
FOR SUSSEX COUNTY

For several years past a plan has
been under consideration to organize
and conduct in Delaware what are
known in other states as movable
or extension schools of agriculture.
Since the primary purpose of these
schools is to demonstrate facts of in
terest and value to farming people,
the schools are to be held in Sussex
County this winter and will be called
demonstration schools.
At each Of these schools. which will
continue for different periods in diff
ferent localities, depending upon the
attitude of the people in each locality
actual work will be done with crops,
animals, fertilizers, lime, etc. So far
as it can be done. every subject dis
cussed will be illustrated by exam
pies, models. specimens and subjects
that cannot be so illustrated will not
be largely handled. For example, in
stead of merely discussing the value
of COW testing. a number of cows in
locality will be actually tested for
butterfat, their feed estimated cost
of keeping and value of product de-
termined and thus some idea of the
profit or loss from each COW found out
Instead of talking about stock judg
ing, stock will be on hand to judge,
and the work of judging will be Illus
trated and practice given. While
many people think they need to have
certain fields drained, at these schools
they can be shown something about
laying out bitches and tile drains and |
how to estimate the cost of the work, |
how to use home made instruments in |
getting levels. The poultry depart |
ment promises such demonstrations |
as the following:
Gambling, grading and packing of
market eggs.
Preparation of birds for maket, in
Guiding killing. dry picking. packing.
Diagnosis of important diseases of
poultry.
Two of these schools, the locations
or which have been practically fixed
lpon. will last for the better part of
week each. A list of subjects for
schools will be on
and at an early date so that localities
hat are not served by institutes may
rganize such a school. It is one of
he aims of these schools to reach
he smaller communities of the cOun-
y which are not reached by the reg
lar winter institutes. Wherever
here is a small hall or large room
nat can be made comfortable. and 4
nat will seat twenty or twenty-five :
eople. a school can be arranged. $
Partent Teacher Associa- n
ons. or other organizations can start n
le enterprise, or any group of inter
;ted DpoDle cau get together for this u
lrpose. The County Agent. who
i'll have the work in charge for Sus- "
X County, can furnish further in il
rmation. Early notice regarding Ia
,sire for such schools will be ap- C.
because it can then be ar c'
nged to give each Community just al
hat it most wants. n

THE Christmas holidays are prom
ising greater business activity this
years tnan the season has brought in
several years past. The CHRONICLE
has secured sufficient news paper to
insure its printing until the spring
time comes again, and possibly until
next summer-but that will require
close outstanding of the supply. To
do this an outlay of money has been
necessary which would usually sup
ply newspaper for an entire years
printing of the CHRONICLE. 1t is
necessary that the friends of the pa
per shall look over their label print
ed each week with the address of the
paper to them, and see that the date
to which the subscription is paid, is
promptly advanced to Jan. 1918.

THE closeness of Christmas has
made such urgent demands upon the
columns of the CHRONICLE for ad-
Vertising purposes, that even the
twelve pages which we are issuing
this week, fails to meet the demands
at the last moment for space. This
is especially gratifying to the pub
fishers and tells the story of the val
ue of the columns of the CHRONICLE
as an advertising medium. We had
thought to use more or less space
this week in discussing the interests
of the people at large in legislation
for the State and counties, as well as
for municipal forms of government;
but the urgent needs of the merchants
who largely support the CHRONICLE
for the holiday advertising, cOmpels
the curtailment of space devoted to
reading matter for this especial is
sue. We appreciate the necessity OF
aCoo.. h1datins cur advertisers, but
VIC -lso recognize the necessity of
supplying the five thousand subscrib- |
er5 VINO take and pay for the paper |
each week. with the real local news |
of the two counties of Sussex and /
Kent especially. and must gather each |
week tine local news from thirty OF
more correspondents and present il
to the various communities. These
are difficult times to conduct business
in. Between the difficulty in getting
news paper on which to print tho
and the demands of ou-
patrons for greater space each week
and the increase number of subscrib-
ers, we are finding the problem 4
man's-size job to solve.

TO PULL S. A. TRADE
War Has Diverted European Business
With Republics to q. s.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Whether the
foreign trade of South America re-
verts to European markets after the
war will depend largely upon the in
terest shown now by American in
vestors. said George E. Roberts. of the
National City bank of New York n 4
paper today, before a subdivision Of
the Pan-American scientific congress.
He said that for the last six months
South American countries had i'm
ported more heavily from the United
States.
The exports of South America have
not fallen off as much as the imports
he added "and are coming more
largely to the United States than here
tofore."
Mr. Roberts explained that the
financial crisis in a number of South
American countries at the time the
European war began was largely re-
sponsible for difficulties of business
men in those countries. The war pre-
vented them from receiving the finan-
cial assistance they perhaps would
have received especially in Argentine
and Brazil.
South American trade with Ger
many practically has ceased said
Mr. Roberts, and importations from
all countries except the United States
have been largely reduced.
1T is probable that a fair share of

MORE ZINC IN u. S,
America Leads World in Pro.
ductiOn of Spelter.
Kansas and Missouri Furnish
Most of Domestic Supply.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 3@The
worlds output of spelter or metallic
zinc in 1913 Appropriated 1.O94,000
short tons. of which the United States
produced 31.7 per cent. The domestic
production, which was higher than
that of any other country, was prac-
ticaIly all consumed within the United
States. Incidentally, it might be add
ed that the most important center of
production of this ore is in what is
known as the KanSas-Missouri region,
or Joplin district.
The ability to produce spelter is only
limited by the capacity of smelling
plants, and the high price of zinc has
caused all the old coal-fired smelters
in Kansas and Missouri to resume OPP
erations and has increased the number
of retOrtS in use from 1891 at the
close of 1914 to 1906 on June 80,
1915. Additional retorts are cOntem
plated and under construction to the
number of $4,000, so that within a few
months the zinc smelling capacity will
be nearly so per cent greater than at
the end of 1914.
Ore Is Left in Mines.
Ores of zinc are so widely distrib-
uted that to supply this increased
smelling capacity will cause no short
age of ore. Nineteen states shipped
!
of the spelter produced that year came
from ore mines in Kansas and Mis-
souri,.
With zinc concentrates selling at $50
to $50 per ton, many mines in the
Kansas Missouri district can mine ore
that yields to PA per cent of con-
centrates.
In this district about 4 per cent of
the ore was left in the mines as pill
lars. In the west, owing to the cost
of treatment and freight charges much
low-grade ore is left In the mine, but
is not necessarily completely lost I'M
less the mine is wrecked.
Much Metal Is Wasted.
Zinc mining is frequently done on a
royalty basis, an arrangement that
means great waste, because the lessee
naturally takes out the ore paying the
greatest profit and leaves the poorest
ore behind. No only are there enor-
nous losses of zinc in mining, milling
and smelling, but the losses continue in
the utilization of zinc. especially in
the manufacture of brass. 1t has been
estimated that $4,000 pounds of zinc
escape daily up the stacks of the roll
ing mills in one city in Connecticut.
Some 40,000,00O pounds of zinc
oxide is used annually for filling in
automobile tires, and the remainder
/ of the $4,000 tons now produced an
nually in the United States is used
chiefly in paint. In neither instance
! is the zinc ever recovered.
