why Fish viii Fall Upward.

The deep-sea fish are subject to a
pressure internally, by gases, and ex-
ternally of over two tons to the square
inch, and under this pressure they are
quite solid. When these fish are
brought to the surface in nets their
bodies become puffy, their bones loose
and their eyes start out of their heads; +;
very often they burst. This is because
the pressure is released.
When these fish of the deep sea
chase their prey or rise for some rea-
son high above the ocean bed, the
gases of their swimming bladders ex-
pand and they become light. The fish
whose muscles are not strong enough
to take it down deeper into the ocean
expands more and more until it rises
upward to the surface and is killed, SO
that it really "falls upward"

REAL TRAGEDY IN BIRD LIFE
Story of Long Vigil Kept by Scarlet
Coated Songster for Missing
Mate Is Full of Pathos.

In the annals of bird lore nothing
can be found surprising In pathOs the
story which comes from Tarlton, o.
For many weeks, close to the home of
the writer, early and late there could
be heard the loud, clear call of bird
to his mate. With his scarlet coat in
strong contrast with his surroundings,
and his no less decided military bear
ing, he would perch on the tOpmost
twig of tall apple tree, and from his
coign of vantage scan the little world
around him with his eagle eye, hoping
to glimpse the familiar form of his
lost companion. His alert ear and eye
catching no sight or sound Of the abb
sent loved one, he would pour out his
soul in unavailing pleadings for her
return. The little singer in his untir-
ing song proclaimed the fact that he
was waiting with hopeful heart.
One morning, while in quest of the
early worm, he CHANGED to light upon
bush that stood by window opposite
the window of another house only
few feet away, and, seeing his image
reflected so vividly and so close to him,
he flew joyOusly at the apparitiOn, be-
lieving it to be his lOng-lOst mate. His
enthusiasm knew no bounds. Quick
and hard were the blows struck with
his horny 3eak and claws in his i'm
potent wrath until nightfull, when he
sank to rest. The next morning at
early dawn he renewed his clarion
call, and came back to renew the bat.
tie of the previous day with his de-
lusive image. This little tragedy in
the heart of the bird has been carried
on for five months. His flaming coat
is just as bright and his kingly bear
ing none the less striking, but great
change has come over the spirit of
the bird. He gave no sign of the bat
tle royal that has ragged in his breast
for weary days and weeks, but his
song has fallen into silence.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

Eaule SYMBOL of Power.

From ancient times the eagle, as
the king of birds, has been looked
upon as the symbol of power. The
American eagle is the native bald
eagle and was first adopted on the seal
of the United States on June 20, 1882,
against the bitter opposition of Frank
lin. This patriot looked up to it as a
Caesarian emblem and wanted to
know what was the matter with the
wild turkey, as being more distinctly
American. Nevertheless the eagle was
accepted, not only on the seal, but on
the first coin issued by the United
States in 1895, and on a majority Of
the coins since.

Growers Did Well With First and Will
Increase Acreage of Others
The strawberry season in Sussex
county practically came to an end last
week. The season has been bumper
one. Although the fruit brought low
prices the first Of the season there
was a sudden rise in the market the
past few days which resulted in the
growers making a fair profit from the
crop. 1t is believed that most of the
growers around Georgetown will OBJ
tain as much from their crop as usual,
notwithstanding the high prices paid
for crates, picking and the unfav or
able weather conditions. Farmers in
the lower part of the state are max
ing preparations to plant large acre
age of late potatoes, and already
many fields are heing prepared for
the planting. The acreage of pota-
toes in Sussex county this year will be
the largest in the history of the
county for several years. The in
ceTased acreage is due largely to the
appeals that have come from Washing
ton and through the cooperation OF
the county agent.

During the active strawberry market
of the past weeks Governor Townsend
has been large buyer, not only for
shipping but for canning purposes as
well. He owns and manages six straw
berry plants located as follows: Selby-
willie, Georgetown and Millsboro, in
Delaware, and Showell, Berlin and
Pirtsville, Md. These plants are en-
gagged in putting up strawberry syrups
and preserves, which are shipped after
packing in iced cars. In this indus
try alone 1900 people are employed; I;
1,450, 900 pounds of sugar are used
ard 40 cars are required to ship to
the various cities. Governor Town

having large factories at Georgetown,

KENT DAIRYMEN TO URGE
RAISE IN PRICE OF MILK
OR THEY WILL FEEL OBLIGED
TO SELL THEIR CATTLE
Contend That an Increase in Price Will
Eventually Benefit Consumers by
Preventing Milk Shortage

Preventing Milk Shortage
Just how serious is the dairy stu
alton in this State is now beginning
TO be generally understood. as a result
of the series of meetings held in this
country under the auspices of County
Agent q. H. Zimmerley, of Dover.
These meetings have been held at the
farms of well known dairymen of the
county, and have been attended by
large percentage of Kent county farm
ers who are interested in dairying.
During the discussions that have taken
place at these meetings it has de-
veloped that a number of dairymen
have sold their cattle, and that many
more contemplate such action as soon
as winter arrives. owing to the alb
normally high price of grain and
other stock food. 1t is on account of
this condition that the movement to
increase the price of milk has been
inaugurated, and in view of the exist
ing conditions the dairymen contend
that no increase in food prices has
been more justified. At the last
meeting held in Kent county, Mr..
Balderson, secretary Of the Interstate
Dairymen's Association, urged the
farmers who were present to cooperate
with that organization and help raise
the price of milk to a point where
the dsirymen can realize some profit.
He declared that his organization will
send an organizer into Kent county in
the near future to start locals to be
affiliated with the main organization.
1t was pointed out that the increase
in the price of milk, which will only
be few cents a quart, will really
benefit the consumer eventually, as it
will prevent many dairymen from
selling off their stock for beef. and
thereby help to prevent milk short
age next winter. Should the cattle
continue to be sold during the ensuing
six months as it has during the past,
there will be such a shortage of milk
next winter that the price will bt
prohibitive.
