GIRLS FORM A CANNING CLUB

The girls at Reynolds Hill School
District, near Georgetown, have or
ganized a Girls Canning and Sewing
Club, and Miss Mable Rutt is the in
structor. On Tuesday, June 29th,
Miss Jefferson, from Delaware Col
lege, gave a demonstration to the
members and explained the methods
which are the most sanitary, as well
as economical to get the best results
from home canning. Intense interest
was manifested in the demonstration,
and the girls are enthusiastic in their
work and attendance to the meetings
of the club. These efforts to instruct
in new and improved methods the
younger people, should be encourag-
ed and appreciated by the older folks,
for it means better conditions as well
as economical living for the future.

Company b Takes New Oath.
When the members of Company B
were called upon to take the new oath
of allegiance in accordance with the
new militia law, every member of the
company responded, it being the first
company in which every man took the
new oath. Since then. Company H.
of New Castle, has also taken the
oath to man In all about twenty
eight men refused to take the oath

THIEVES SCARED AWAY

The use Of old horses and covered
wagons by thieves in Sussex County
and also in Kent, is not unusual. Last
Sunday night two young men with a
team were noticed in the vicinity of
MarveI's School House, near Laws
Chapel in Kent County, and the farm
ers kept them on the move. In the
early morning of Monday, several
chicken houses showed that the prowl
ers had been around them and that
the men went towards the town of
Milford. A well loaded shot gun is
kept by most farmers in this vicinity
as an especial welcome for this class
of visitors.

With the arrival of an automobile
truck loaded with shoes for the men
the two batallions of Delaware mill
tia stationed at the State Rife Range
were made ready for service along the
Mexican border this week. While all
kinds of rumors have been in circu-

will get their orders to move. up un-
til noon of Thursday they had receiv-
ed no orders to move to the border.
The men have been inOculated for
typhoid fever and have also been vac

examinations under the direction of

been concluded. and it is thought that

orders to move and that they will be

A MILFORD SOLDIER'S LETTER

Harry B. Thaw, son of Mrs. Eliza
beth Thaw, who elisted in the ranks
of Company B and went to the mObil-
izatiOn camp with the soldiers, sends
the following letter to the Chronicle,
which is of especial interest to the
friends of the boys who are patriot
ically serving the country at the call
of the President. Mr.. Thaw wrote:
Company B of Milford National
Guard reached the mobilization camp
late on Saturday morning, and in a
short time had the tents erected, and
everything ready for occupancy. For
tunately for the comfort of the men,
rain did not commence to fall until
the tents had been well ditched and
prepared for wet weather. So far,
June 2Sth) not much drill has been
INDUCED in, owing to the late arrival
on Saturday, and the incubation of
the men for typhoid.
Sunday was an open day at camp,
and mnay visitors from all parts of
Delaware were in evidence. Several
came from Milford. including VIM. G.
Abbott and an auto party; Mrs. Mary
l.. Marshall and Mrs. Drennen and
Mrs. A. d. Marshall and son DON
Ian, and G. Chester Marshall made up
another auto party from Milford.
Religious services were held at the
flag staff by the Chaplain of the First
Delaware. Rev. R. K. Stevenson, at
which the entire regiment attended
in formation without arms. The men
sang the hymns with much fervOr
and in loud volume. The remainder
of Sunday was passed in rest and en-
tertaining friends.
The men of Company B in general
are delighted with the camp, and are
looking forward to a pleasant stay
at the Rife Range, although they will
be glad to be sent to the border.
Hoping to be able to send you news
of the Delaware troops each week, l
am very truly

is from a patriotic belief that they
owe their country a service. Those

he will not deserve to be honored as

Company B, MilfOrd's own company

WILL ADMIT NEGROES.
Federation Of Labor Decides 'Thsy Are
Worthy Of Membership.

Negroes are no longer to be Shut out.
either directly or indirectly, from the
American trade union movement In
stead, they are to be welcomed in.
This is the stand taken by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in CONVENTION
upon the issue raised by the Wholesale
migration Of southern negroes to the
Industrial centers of Pennsylvania and
the middle west. td-
This resolution. presented by TIE del
egates from the Ohio State Federation
Of Labor and the Cleveland Federation
Of Labor, has been approved:
Whereas, The emigration OF south
ern Negroes to northern labor renters,
which has lately attracted the atten-
ton of the United States department
Of labor and has occasioned anxiety on
the part of the organized labor move
ment because OF the danger such emf
grafton will cause the workers IN the
northern states; and,
Whereas The Investigation OF such
emigration and importation OF Negroes
into the state OF Ohio has demonstrat-
ed to the satisfaction Of the labor lead
crs in that state that they are being
brought north for the purpose OF filing
the places of union men demanding
better conditions. us In the case of the
freight handlers: and.
"WhereGs. The shortage OF European
labor has made the southern Negro an
asset in the labor markets of the north
and the conditions that prevail in Ohio
may apply in all northern states; there
fore, be 1t
Resolved. That this thirtysixth an
nual convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor instruct the president
and executive council to inaugurate a
movement looking toward the organi-
Zation Of these men in the southern
states, to the end that they may be IN
structed and educated along the lines
of the trade union movement and
thereby eliminate this menace TO the
workers Of the northern states"

HAMp1on's GREAT VICTORY.

0sasidsrs Take Howard's Eleven Int
Camp to Tune Of IL to 3.
For two consecutive years the ia
nous Howard university football squad
has gone down to defeat at the hands
Of Hampton's speedy machine. How
ard has not sent man over the Hamp-
ton goal with the pigskin since 1914.
The defeat that was administered to
Howard on Turkey day" gives Hamp-
ton the claim to the championship title
Of 1916.
Hampton's machine arrived at How
ard on Wednesday evening in light
fall of rain that continued throughout
the night. Every man on the squad
was in good spirits and confident that
Howard would go down to defeat.
The only reply to the jeers and songs
with which the Howardites greeted the
Hampton machine was. .'We didn't
come to Howard to lose any more"
The sun came up on Thursday morn
ing and partly dried up the water
soaked gridiron. The wet field was n
great disadvantage to the light Hamp
ton backfield men, who depend mainly
upon lodging their opponents.
The referee blew the whistle for tn.
first kickoff at 2:3O p. m. The gam.
was hotly contested, and when the
final whistle blew there ended the
greatest battle in the history of How
ard and Hampton.
Hampton was the victor to the tune
of 10 to 3. Much credit is due the "Sea
siders," for they were playing on
strange grounds before thousands of
Howard sympathizers. Yet they proved
that it is not the crowd that wins the
game. Hampton broke the record by
using only thirteen men to defeat How
ard, while the Howardites used twenty.
