proving three roads. The court de
cided to improve the Rodman road, in
Brandywine hundred. from the Phila-
delphia pike to the w. & P. Traction
Co. line, a distance of 1900 feet. The
Highway Commissioner was directed
to make a survey and submit esti-
mates of cost for the unfinished Sec
tion of the road between st. Georges
and the improved section leading east
from Kirkwood. The Highway Com
missioner was also directed to make a
survey and submit estimates of the
cost of the road from the bridge on
the outskirts Of Delaware City to the
Canal Bridge of the Chesapeake &
Delaware Canal. The road from
"Pine Tree" to Odessa and the road
from St. Georges to Clsrk's Corner is
receiving top dressing of stone and
| tar.

Attribute to Rev. William FAIRIES
By J. G. Hermann. of Chester Heights, Penna

He closed his eyes, on transient scenes
of time,
And opened them. to gaze on heights
sublime;
Heights. where by faith, he oft-times
aimed to soar
His "raptured vision, now, beholds
forevermore.
The lips are mute in death, bnt ne'er
shall die the truth,
That in such stirring accents from
them flowed.
In warning, loving power, entreating
needless youth.
To rise toward higher things; His
warm heart glowed
With wisdom borrowed from the Sac
red page
And shed bright rays of comfort, to
cheer declining age.
OhI eloquence divineI when in the
days of yore,
In upper room, the spirit did out-pour
The gift of tongues, upon the chosen
there,
This heritage of God, has been thy
servants share;
And richly he dispensed, at duty's q
call
This rarely gracious gift, to one and
all.
Oh! Death! thou art a mighty con-
queror! and yet,
Thou dost but remove the outer shell
The pearl remains; the works OF
righteous men
Do follow them, and lives of purity,
and holy zeal
In other men beget.
Then rest thee, Christian brother, rest,
In perfect peace, upon thy Saviour:
breast.
The work thou hast on earth begun
No more shall cease, than shall tn,
sun
To bless the earth, with fruitful power
Thou too, shall see the ransomed come
And join with thee, in Harvest Home

STAG FOR DOWN STATE ROADS
Sussex County Engineer Recommends
Its Use as Cheap and Durable

Sussex County Engineer Recommends
Its Use as Cheap and Durable
County Engineer W. E. Hawkins,
at a meeting of the Sussex County
Levy Court last week, was authorized
to purchase four cars of Stag for re-
pairing some of the shell roads in the
western section of the county. The
causeway between Seaford and Blades
is to be repaired as soon as possible,
as well as the shell road leading from
that town to Broad Creek and Con-
cord. While the stretch from the
bridge spanning the Nanticoke river
at Seaford to the town of Blades is in
the corporate limits of the latter
place, yet the county has to maintain
it, as an act was passed at the last
session of the Legislature to that eff
feet. Bids are being asked for the
construction of concrete bridge over
the Kent and Sussex ditch near Green
wood, and will be opened at a meet
ing of the Levy Court on August %.
The bridge is 20-foOt span.
Engineer Hawkins has been in
structed to obtain prices on a sprink-
Ter wagon which is to be used in max
ing repairs to some of the roads of
the county, and later on, when the
network of improved roads are built,
from the S1,O0O,O bond issue, it
will be utilized for that work.
Commissioner Frank w. Holloway
has been authorized to purchase the
right Of way for a public road from
Halls School, in Baltimore hundred,
on the road leading from Bayard tc
Muddy Neck, as the school commits.
sioners are contemplating improve.
ments to the grounds and it will
liekly be necessary to change the
course of the road so that it will not
conflict with the proposed improve
ments to the grounds.

REMARKABLE AGED WOMAN
Mrs. L. G. Wiltbank, 80 Years of Age
Says She has Never Tasted Egg

Mrs. /. 6. Wlltbank, 80 Years of Age
Says She has Never Tasted Egg
Despite the fact that she has Just
passed her ninetieth milestone, Mrs.
Lettie G. Wiltbsnk. who resides with
her daughter, Mrs. David E. johnson,
at Georgetown, is hale and hearty.
Fverv Sunday, when weather condi-
favorable, she walks, unat-
tended, to Wesley M. E. Church
several blocks, and her mind is per-
fectly clear. For about seventy-five
years she has been a member of church,
and there are few Sundays she has
missed attending divine services some-
where. Mrs. WiItbank says she has
never tasted an egg in her life. She
has a good appetite but eggs she re-
fuses to eat. She attributes her long
life to plenty of fresh air, wholesome
food, exercise and refraining from ex-
posure and the frills and fashions o1
these days.

division and arrange neatly in the jar
Vegetable mixtures--Some very at
tractive jars of vegetable mixture
may be made by using corn, carrots

EXPERTS GIVE ADVICE ON
THE GROWING OF WHEAT
OCTOBER TO is CONSIDERED
TO BE THE BEST TIME TO PLANT
Many of the Poor Yields in Delaware
Due, it is Claimed, to Late Plant
ing-Seed Also important

The best time to plant wheat in
Delaware will vary from October 1
to October Is, Delaware College ex-
perts say. On account of the Hessian
fly, seeding should not be made ordi-
narily before October 1. The time
of seeding will vary somewhat with
the character of the soil. Fertile
soil, well prepared, may be seeded
later than a poor soil. In any case
wheat should be sown early enough to
allow the plants to become well es-
tablished before winter. Winter kill
ing and "heaving OUT are greatly
lessened by a strong growth of the
plants. Many of the poor yields in
Delaware in 1917 were due directly
to late seeding. Experiments at the
Delaware station on the time of seed
ing show that as good yields were
secured by seeding October % on we'll
fertilized land as by seeding October
on soil not fertilized. The guam
titY of seed per acre for best results
will depend upon number of coudi-
tions, such as the fertility of the soil,
the condition of the seed bed, and the
size and quality of the seed used.
On well prepared, fertile soil with
medium-sized seed of good qnality
six pecks per acre are sufficient On
''thin land" or with late seeding
seven to eight pecks have been found
desirable. Many of the bearded sorts
will make good yield if sown at the
rate of 3 to A pecks per acre, provid.
ing the soil is rich and the seeding
made at the proper time. The grower
should take into account the size Of
the kernels as some varieties produce
kernels so percent larger than others
The rate of seeding should be adjusted
to the size of the kernel.

Methought to choose a goal-star,
From out the midnight sky,
So l chose the bright one nearest.
The others were too high.
So sure was | of my golden prize,
l grasped it not till reached Life s
ebb
When l found instead of a shining
star,
A FREELY caught in a spiders web.
