BARN and CONTENTS BURNED

Fire. which originated in a large
straw stack in the rear Of the barn
and stables at the farm tenanted by
Clarence Cubbage, and owned by the
"Kent County Poor" destroyed the
straw and one large barn late Tuesday
afternoon. The blaze was discovered
shortly after six o'clock and for over
an hour persons residing in the inn
mediate neighborhood and those who
were passing, fought the flames. At
ter the blaze had apparently been
gotten under control, the Milford Fire
Company was sent for and ir a re-
markably short time they were on the
scene Soon after their arrival the
hay in the barn caught fire and they
were pOwerless to hold it in check
The wheat stored in the barn was
saved before the building caught, but
the barn and the hay burned A stable
beside the barn caught fire
several times, but the fire fighters
were able to save the structure, and
also the grain barn and wagon sheds
on the opposite side Of the stable yard
from the barn. The burned buildings
were insured. Cubbage's loss was
not covered by insurance. Just how
the flames started is not known but
It is supposed generally that a smould
sring spark from a threshing engine
which left the premises about noon
was responsible.

TO PLAY in MILFORD FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP OF STATE

The management of the Salisbury
Maryland, baseball team, which or
ganizatiOn easily won the pennant in
the Peninsula League, have made ar
rangements with the management Of
the Chambersburg Md, team to play
series of FIVE games of ball for state
honors. Chambersburg is the winner
of the pennant in the Blue Ridge lea
que, which will close its season this
week. The series will be of unusual
interest in that the hackers Of both
the Peninsula and Blue Ridge leagues
claim that their particular organiza-
tions are composed Of the fastest
teams.
Dr.. Walter Grier. who managed the
Milford team of the Peninsula league
this year, has been in touch with the
management of the Salisbury team,
and has been assured that one Of the
i've games will be played in Milford.
Salisbury agreed to play in Milford
only because of the fact that the town
proved to be the best baseball town
on the peninsula this year and the
management wanted to give the Mil
ford fans an opportunity to see the
leaders Of both leagues in action The
first and second games of the series
will be played in Salisbury on We'd
nesday and Thursday September 18th
and l4th. The game to be PLAYED in
Milford Will be played on Friday. SEN

AWAKENING THE PEOPLE

Efforts Of the recruiting officers to
bring the 1st Delaware Infantry, now
at Deming, New Mexico, up to full
strength make apparent the apathy
with which the great mass Of people
Of the country views the duty each
owes when the government is endan-
gered In June the President called
for 1895 men from Delaware for ma
tional defence and received as Della
wares contribution, less than 600.
TO be Of real service to the govern
ment it has many times been demon
strated that men must be prepared
before they are called upon for seri-
ious duty. This preparation to make
a soldier of an ordinary man requires
at least six months or more, depend
ing upon the character Of the service
he enters.
Our more patriotic citizens no
doubt, would answer a voluntary
summons, should danger to the gov
ernment be made plain to them, but
we then have to deal with the thought
of necessary time wasted to make
those citizens of value in a military
sense, and by this time the occasion
would probably have passed.
Another phase too, is that in the
efforts to satisfy the individual citi-
zens that the necessity for his ser
vices is warranted. it is impossible to
conceal much important military in
from the enemy.
Under our present system it should
awaken the dormant and poorly nour-
shed patriotism Of our people when
he President calls for men, and not
wait till the necessity of the call is
,ully explained.
A rude and inevitable shock will |
De administered to our country before |
is citizens arouse themselves to the |
and weakening falsity their |
ogic has led them to.

DU PUNT RECLAMATION CONTEST

A land reclamation contest, some
thing new in the agricultural line is
announced by the DUPONT Powder Co .
The plan is for the farmer to pick
out the bad spots on the farm. then
turn one acre of it over to his son or
another interested boy and let him i'm
prove it.
Any method of reclamation is al
lowed, the main points of the contest
being to clear the land, improve the
soil and then raise crop. No special
crop is specified, the only restrictions
in the contest being that the work on
the one acre must be planned and
done or supervised by the boy him
self
The country has been divided into
sections, and to the boys of each sec
tion showing the best results com
mensurate with cost, S100 in cash will
be divided as prizes. $50 for the first
prize, $50 for second and $40 for the
third. Besides the cash prizes the
powder company will present each
contestant receiving honorable mem
tion with a years subscription to any
farm paper published in the United
States.
The contest will start at once, and
all entries must be received not later
than January 1 1917, and all reports
must be in the hands of the DUPONT
division, Wilmington, be-
fore December 1, 1917.

Attorney General Josiah o. Wolcott
was nominated for United States Sen
ator by the Democratic State Conyen-
tion last Tuesday evening after a stir
ring all-day contest, which apparently
has smashed completely the control oi
the party in the State by United States
Senator Willard Salisbury.
The nominees, in addition to Mr.
Wolcott, are:
Presidential Electors-Dr. P. H.
Keaveney, New Castle County; J. Her
man Anderson, Kent County; Oliver
Cordrey, Sussex County.
Governor-James H. Hughes, Dover
Kent County.
Lieutenant Governor, L. E. Eliason,
New Castle, New Castle County.
ngressman-Albert F. Polk, OF
Georgetown, Sussex County.
Attorney General-ArmOn d. ebay
tor, Jr., Wilmington, New Castle
County.
: Insurance Commissioner-Thomas
R. Wilson, Cedar Creek, Sussex Coun-
ty.
State Treasurer-Jam Lord. Cam
den, Kent County.
State AuditOr-W. S. Roe, Smyrna,
Kent County.
Every effort of the opposing forces
was centered upon the Senatorial fight
When that was over and Mr. .Wilcott
had Overwhelmingly defeated Andrew
]. Lynch, of Sussex County, the pro-
Salisbury man, the rest of the ticket
was put across with a rush. Senator
Salisbury was in Dover waiting until
the convention had begun to make
dramatic appearance and a speech
that breathed a plea for harmony and
the promise to support any candidate
selected by the convention.
Mr.. Salisbury then disappeared and
a half hour later sprang his sensation
on the convention, in the throwing Of
all the strength he could muster to
Mr.. Lynch, who had been proposed
by Sussex County as late as the morn
ing caucus, only for the purpose of
giving him a complimentary vote and
holding the delegation together until
the throwdown came.
It took four ballots to assemble the
full force of the anti Salisbury men
which at first seemed hopelessly split
between Mr.. Wolcott and ex-COngress
man L. Irving Handy, of Smyrna, who
was Kent COunty's caucus choice on
he first ballot. Wolcott got only 46
Totes out of the 1856 which were cast. !
Handy had sixty-eight and Lynch de-
7eloped the surprising total of seven
y-One.
That was Lynch's highwater mark, |
however, for the complimentary votes |
If Sussex County commenced to drop |
iway
On the second ballot Wolcott gained |
our votes each from Handy and |
4ynch, the tally being Wolcott Sc,
Handy Ga, and Lynch 81.
On the third ballot Wolcott took the |
cad and the outburst of cheers fore
asst the result on the next ballot.
Then came a series of conferences
With Josiah Marvel Mr. Wolcott's law
artner and manager, who was here.
here and everywhere on the floor Of
he hall. Handy men broke right and
eft to Mr. Wolcott.
Then the fourth ballot was taken
nd Wolcott was steadily ahead all
he way through. The delegates wait
d breathlessly as the count piled up,
ne by one, and as the ninety-third
ote was cast for WOlcott, indicating
is majority, the cheering broke out
nee more The final count showed
iOlcOtt 104; Handy, 81; Lynch. 81.
When the result was known the ;
omination was made unanimous.
