REHOBOTH CANNERY BURNS
Loss of $4,000 Sustained by til,
Rehoboth Packing Company

Loss of $4,000 Sustained by the
Rehoboth Packing Company
Fire early last Wednesday morning
destroyed portion of the plant of the
Rehoboth Packing Company, entailing
a loss estimated at $40, 900, partially
covered by insurance. The fire. of
unknown origin, started in a frame
building containing empty cans.
The flames had made considerable
progress before being discovered and
spread quickly to sheet iron build
ing. and it was destroyed quickly.
The Rehoboth FIRE company sent its
hose wagon to the scene. but one mile
west of the centre of the town and
the Lewes fire company hastened to
the fire. By the efforts of the fire.
men the warehouse was saved. The
fire created considerable excitement
and nearly everybody in town was on
the scene. The light of the fire could
be seen for many miles. The plant
of the Atlantic Canning Company, one
block distnant from the fire, escaped
damage. Many people are thrown
out of work.
The less will fall heavily ON a
large number of farmers in that Sec
tion, not only because the factory was
canning their tomatoes but also be-
cause many are stockholders. Will
liam G. Dodd is president and G. E.
Morris is president of the COM
pany. They are also directors. other
members Of the board being Robert
Dodd, Thomas Hart, E. H. Phillips.
Walter Robinson, l.. ]. Matthews

The company had recently erected
buildings valued at So. 500 and had
added materially to the equipment.
1t has not been decided whether the
plant will be rebuilt. but if it is il
will have capacity of 10000 case:

British Army Boot.

The British army boot is made from
very stout chrome-tanned leather. It
is interesting to note that what is
called the ''front" of the boot Is un-
like the average civilian boot, cut all
in one piece, right from the toe to the
heel, and scanned up at the back. The
toe contains, among other things, a
plate of hard iron. which is nailed on
underneath. On the whole, the British
Tommy has a small foot, the average
sizes being seven and eight. Compare
Mr.. Atkins foot with that of his Rus
sian brother. Here we have an aver
age of nine and ten. The upper pOr-
ton Of the Cossack boot reaches to
within an inch or two of the knee,
and has buckle at the top. Its con-
struction is very similar to the British
boot, the essential difference being the
boot is not stitched round the ''welts"
as Is the British.

FARMERS DOWN STATE Do
WELL IN SEASON PRICES
WHAT WAS LOST EARLY IN SEA-
SON BEING MADE UP NOW

At BridgeviIle Shipping Center High
Market Prevails in Almost all Kinds
of Fruit md Farm Products
In the early spring and summer
the farmers in this community were
much discouraged regarding the pros
poets of q good year. Then came an
entire failure in the strawberry crop.
Prices were low and fruit was COM
mon. There was a shortage in the
apple crop. Prices were unusually
high, but on account of the short crop
nothing was made in this product.
After a short wait farmers began to
make something and now many are
and have been selling their wheat,
yielded well, for So SO and So a
bushel. Corn is doing fine and
large yield is expected. with prices
ranging from 81 to SIP a bushel.
Watermelons are being shipped from
there in carload lots and the shipments
are expected to continue late in Sep
tember. Cantsloupes are also being
shipped. Generally this season is
over by August Is. but this season
many patches are unusually late on
account of the late cool wet weather,
and many farmers have just started
shipping with prices ranging from 81
to ST. 25 for standard size crates and
So. 25 to 81. rs for jumbo.
The tomato season is at it's height,
and larger crop than was first ex-
pected is being harvested. The vines
seem to have recovered from the
heavy rains of July and have bios
sOmed again after the early ones were
washed off. Never before have to-
matoes been known to sell at the local
market for such high prices. Farm
ers have received form rs cents to rs
cent this entire season for a truck
basket. Peaches. have been plentiful
ana of good quality and have beeu
selling between 35 and 78 cents a
basket the entire season.

RAILROAD MILFORD TO FORT

Sussex Commissioners Grant the Re-
quest of the Contractors
The Barber Construction Company,
of Philadelphia which has the contract
to assist in the construction of the
government fort at Cedar Beach, pre-
sented request to the county COM
missioners to lay narrow guage rail-
road from Milford to the bay in order
to transport the building materials.
The commissioners passed a resolu-
tion authorizing them to make use
of the public road leading to the
beach, provided it was left in as good
condition when they finish with the
work as it now is. The tracks are
supposed to be removed by January
1, 1919.
In urging the commissioners to
grant the request, it was pointed cut
how beneficial it would be to the con-
tractors and how greatly it would
help them to complete the work in
good time. Feeling it to be patriotic
duty, the commissioners granted the
request Immediately.
The Cedar Beach Drawbridge, q
short distance away, is to be improv-
ed at a cost not to exceed $3.50.
Engineer Hawkins has been instruct
ed to see that the necessary repairs

noticed" said the dealer, "that the
farmer who is close to town and
spends nearly every evening playing
pool or lingering beside a mahogany
slab in front of white aproned young
man, is the loudest in proclaiming
the hard lot of the farmer. There is
an other brand, who might be classed
in a similar category. and 1 seldom
try to deal with him. He is the man
who allows his plows, harrows, reaper
and other machinery to remain in the
fields after the work is done to get the
benefit of the winter weather. Next
season it is unfit for use and the owner
makes the usual complaint that his
business does not pay. If that same
machinery were cleaned and oiled,
then stored under cover, the farmer
would be one of those happy men who
do their work right and find that
farming is paying proposition. -

DELAWARE WOMEN URGED
TO WATCH WASTE OF FOOD
NOV is THE TIME TO CON-
SERVE EVERY OUNCE OF FOOD

Conservation Committee of the Ma
tionaI Defense Anxious for Every
Delaware Woman to Do Part
Now is the time TO conserve every
ounce of edible food material and not
only save it but serve in an attractive
form. One of the most noticeable
forms of extravaganza in food is the
variety Of dishes that appear on many
tables. How frequently have you been
served a meal of with two or more
meats or protein foods; or three or
four vegetables. A sufficient variety
of foods is necessary to tempt our ap-
petites and supply the body demands
but a repetition of foods is a decided
waste.
Overeating is just as much form
of waste as if the food that the body
does not need was thrown into the
garbage can. Most of US eat many
more calories of food than we need
and this surplus is thrown off in the
body excretions.
Good carefully cooked food is abso-
lutely essential to the best conserva-
tion. Poorly cooked food that does
not tempt the appetite might just as
we'll be eliminated from the menu.
Burned or scorched foods are drugs on
the market. Thus anything that is
rendered unfit for consumption in prep
aration is {. direct waste.
There are so many ways of throw
ing away perfectly good food materials
that it takes very careful housekeeper
to keep all of the outlets stopped up.
How often small quantities of
vegetables or meats are thrown into
the waste pail If you save these
left overs do not let them stay in the
pantry or refrigerator until they
spoil. Watch your drain pipe to see
that it does not swallow bacon fat,
beef dripping or the water in which
your asparagus or other vegetables
have been cooked. Do you throw out
perfectly good foods to your chickens
or pigs? This may not be an absolute
waste but could you not feed them or
cheaper foods that are not fit fol
human consumption.
If you could get out of the rnt Of
serving the same leftovers in the same
way, perhaps your family would like
hash better. Cold meats or fish
chopped and bound together with 1
thick white sauce is delicious made
into croquettes or baked as in a roya
scallop. Vegetables can be scallopet
or made into a souffle. Bacon ia
and beef drippings can often take tht
place of butter or lard in gingerbread
spice cake, meat and vegetable sauce
etc. Vegetable stock contains larg
percentage of the minerals as we'll a
favoring and increases the flavor an,
nourishment of cream soup and sauce
when used as the liquid in whit
sauce.
Meat leftover dishes lack flavor
This must be made up by the additio
of extra seasonings. Wehn you hav
a good tasting dish serve it as a goo,
looking dish and everyone Is please
with the result.

| Saw Them March Away


Adown a city street saw them march
away.
With steady tread, and flashing
eye. and on their lips smile.
While strains of martial music filled |
the air
And overhead the Stars and Stripes
CLEANED proudly all the while.
1 saw them go-the flower of the
land
The young. the fit. the strong
To save their country's honor. help
the weak,
Fight for the Right against the
Wrong.
A face cleaned in the ranks-a face
l loved
AS standing there as in trance,
l watched those moving files of brown
March on to France.
Then still another smiled as he passed
by,
My younger brother. fair and
strong,
Who dared to turn while onward
marching
And wave kiss to me within the
throng.
Twas thus my brothers went away,
Marching on to God knows where,
And left me standing in a crowded
street,
With smiling lips and fearful eyes
and in my heart prayer.
Then down that crowded city street,
The cavalry soldiers came,
And with them one. but for the war,
Whose name would be my name.
And as he passed. his eyes met mine,
Telling his true love oser and Der,
And each of US smiled, though each of
US knew
That he might return no. more.
Twas thus he went-my Soldier
King
To fight perhaps to fall and render
up alone
His life so big, so clean, so brave,
To me more precious than my own.
When no longer l could see those
ranks of brown,
turned to view the men who were
afraid to dare,
My prayer then turned to one o.
thanks,
: That no man l knew was standing
there
There stood the coward, weakling
Stacker.
To whom a nations honor was a

CAVE CLERK ORDERS
TO LIVE UP TO Law

Instructions to see that all
sales of liquor were made In
strict compliance with the
prohibition law were given
by George II. Stone. head OF
the Stone-I'isher Co. and by
w. j. Fisher, member of the
firm, according to the testi-
money of Glen Darling, head
of the drug department.
Thursday.
Darling took the stand at the
opening of the defense case in the
trial of the Stone-Fisher Co. on a
charge of having Intoxicating
liquor in its possession with un-
lawful intent to sell.
Questioned by Attorney Harry
G. Rowland, he admitted selling
a quart of No. 6 Monogram whisky
to A. A. Riggs, special city inyes-
tigator, Oct. l on prescription
calling for only one pint.
In doing SO, however, he said
he took Riggs word for it that the
aoctor had made mistake.
Told to Observe law.
Over the vigorous objections OF
Deputy Prosecutor Thompson,
Darling told of the instructions
given him by Stone about selling
booze.
when I made arrangements
with Mr.. Stone for taking over the
drug department, he asked ms
what my attitude was toward
handling liquors" Darling testi-
fled. II told him I was greatly
opposed to the liquor traffic"
Thompson objected to this line
of testimony and the objection was
sustained by Judge Card.
"As a matter Of fact when Mr..
Stone asked me. l told him the
sale of liquor was necessary at
times, and that whatever was sold
would be sold strictly In accord
ance with the law.
Both Cautioned Him.
"Mr. Stone gave me instructions
to see to 1t that the law was SOM
piled with in all respects Mr..
Fisher also cautioned me to be
sure that everything was in ac-
cordance with the law"
Darling insisted he never pur-
charsed any liquor for sale except
under lawful permit, and. that no
liquor, as far as he could deter
nine, was ever sold for beverage
purp0 IS.
The mystery of how the pint
prescription filled for Riggs on
the evening of Oct. I came to be
changed to read quart was ex-
planned by the witness, who adj
mitted he made the alterations
himself when he sold Riggs the
quart OF whisky.
He explained how the prescrip-
ton was issued.
"A man came in and presented
the prescription to a clerk I'm the
department named Ferris a few
minutes before closing time, Oct.
l." he testified. Ferris got out
an empty pint bottle and was just
getting a cork for 1t when the
man objected, saying the prescrip-
ton called for a quart.
sells If For IS.
Ferris replied that 1t plainly
read one pint. Then the man
said he had asked the doctor fon a
quart and that there must be soma
mistake"
Darling said he thought the
man, who he identified as Riggs,
was telling the truth. '"sI gave
him the benefit OF the doubt, 1t
was nearly closing time and there
was pot time to get In touch with
the doctor so gave him the quart
on the. pint prescription
Darling said the city investiga-
tor didn't look to him as II he
wanted the whisky for beverage,
and that he believed IT was Tor
m ediclnaI use. He said he rieyer
before had changed the amount Of
