MAJOR W. E. LANK HOME
Injured at Oeming, Commander of
Second Battalion is Recovering

OeCOnO OdtIdlOn is recovering
Major w. E. Lank, Of Milford,
commanding the second battalion, Del
aware militia, has just returned from
California where he has spent several
months recuperating following a seri-
GUS accident he sustained last year
shortly after his arrival at Deming,
N. M, with the Delaware troops.
Hewas thrown from a horse and had
his hip broken, and when the militia
returnd last winter he was unable to
come back with them.
He has entirely recovered from the
effects of the accident, however. and
is now able to walk without the aid
of crutches or cane. Major Lank
says he is feeling exceptionally well
and his appearance corroborates this
statement. He had conference with
some of the militia officers and he is
ready to respond with his battalion
should it be called into the service.

aiding wheat to withstand disease,

Wheat is expected to remain at high
figure the coming season, and the ad-
dition of little fertilizer, costing
no more than what bushel or two of
wheat is worth, undoubtedly will add
several bushels in yield. Wheat grow

In many sections autumn-sown
wheat is reported making slow pro-
gress and as not being in best shape
for returning the most profitable yield.
This condition can be greatly improved
by the early application this spring
Of a top-dressing of suitable fertilizer.
Fertilizers containing nitrogen from
suitable sources, with proper com.
plement of soluble and available phos-
phoric acid, insure earlier maturity and
plumper grain. There is a merit in

In Full Bloom Now in Sussex and In
dicate Bumper Crop
One of the prettiest sights in Sussex
County now is the fruit farm known
as "The Orchards, two and one-half
miles east Of Delmar. The trees are
in full bloom and present q beautiful
appearance. This far the buds have
not been injured by the cold and if no
damage results later fruit will be pro-
duced in great abundance The farm
of 211 acres, under the management
of Irving Culver, is in a high state
of cultivation and shows what can be
accomplished in the improvement of
the soil by intelligent and progressive
methods of farming. There will he
seven acres in cantaloupes, twenty in
sweet potatoes, twenty in tomatoes
and thirteen acres now in good stand
on clover on what was once considered
very poor land. In the orchard there
are Of peach trees 4, 700 Elbertas, 1. =
700 Belle of Georgia, 1000 Ray, 500
Carman, 300 Greensborough; of ap-
pies, 5000 and pears 1000. If the
peach trees produce according to pre-
sent prospects, Mr.. Culver states that
it will require 100 men to pick and
get them to Delmar for shipment.

If spread upon the ground the paper in

In Magpie Coloring

Black-and-white is one of the most
popular combinations. 1t is apt to be
conspicuous if not very we'll done and
conspicuousness is ever in bad taste.
The design illustrated here is of black
satin, embroidered in white wool. The
tunic effect is lined with white satin,
and the narrow turnover collar and the
deep cuffs are also of the white satin.
The buttons, too, are white.

Dignity in the Little Dress"

for they make little material and
trimming go long way. Some are
one-piece, others simulate the one
piece, others belong to the tunic fam
lily, ever growing in popularity. A
simple collar-and-cuff set, a touch of
embroidery in the same or a contrast
ing shade, buttons or a bit of fur, any
of these may act as trimming. It is
impossible to say where the line is to
be drawn, saying "this is for morning,
and this for afternoon"
The Panel Dress
One hears a great deal about the
panel dress; it is particularly good for
combinations of materials and colors.
though made of one material, it is very
smart indeed. The dress has panel
front and back, with straight pleated
side sections, and the natural waist
line may be defined by belt, two belts
or a girdle. The one illustrated here
is of brown wool-mixture, with novel
collar of chamois and a yellow Kid
belt. An odd conceit of well-known
designer is to leave the pleats Impress
ed, thus giving a softer appearance
than would otherwise be possible.
There is an unusual fact about ma
terials that very few women realize or
take into account when planning new
costume, and this is that the style
changes in regard to dress goods. 1t
is absolutely impossible to make
stiff perky hustle out of soft crepe de
Chine or Georgette crepe (unless some
stiffening be used) and the straight
silhouette dresses must be made of
soft material; and full skirts that
stand out, puffed sleeves, bustles, and
so forth, require taffeta, tulle or some
other material with "body" to it. The
styles do change materials. The first
value of material is it's wearing quail
ity; for, after all, the material that
wears we'll is always handsomer and
makes up better than any other. Serge
is ever a standby, gabardine, broad
cloth and wool mixtures rarely 60 "out
of STYLE" The silk goods styles
change more quickly and one year
everything must be made of taffeta,
and the next of charmeuse or soft
satin. Study the silhouette of the
mode with intelligence and you cannot
go far wrong as to the material to be
used.
