TAKE MEN WITH LIQUOR

The first important arrests made this
year by the local police force were
made on Tuesday night Of this week
when two men, George Faithful and
Benz. Harris, both of Chester, were
taken into custody, charged with hav-
ing more whiskey in their possession
than the law allows. An automobile,
No. 164,154, Pennsylvania tag, drove
into Milford Tuesday night late, and in
it were four men. William Parker, a
former well known character of Mil
ford was one of them, Officer Hollis
was notified of the suspicious looking
bunch and an investigation disclosed
the fact that there were forty-tWo
quarts of whiskey in the car with
them. Two of the men we're arrested
but Parker and the fourth man made
their escape. They were given a hear
ing and sent to Georgetown Jail to
await trial. In addition to the liquor
charge, they were charged with hav-
ing concealed deadly weapons in their
possession.
These men were in Milford on Satur-
day night and Sunday in the same
automobile, and it was a noticeable
fact that the crowd of 'drunks" in
creased rapidly during their stay. The
liquor element were wearing long
faces on Wednesday morning, but the
arrests on Tuesday night were only
the beginning of a campaign which will
be made to again break up that busi-
ness in Milford. If the Milford police
force is not capable of ferreting out
the liquor sellers, then some other
means will be employed to see that the
trouble making business is broken up
at once. All liquor taken in cases
similar to this must be turned into
the court, and this whiskey was taken
to the Georgetown Jail with the two
prisoners.
This same car ran into car driven
by Mrs. Fred Harrington, near Five
Points above Magnolia and ran away
as quickly as possible, but she recog-
nized one of the men in it as Rosco
Daniels, of Milford; but he was not
with the crowd when they were arrest
ed. Mrs. Harrington called Colonel
Townsend on the phone and notified
the police Of Milford of the load of
drunken men which had collided with
her machine.
The automobile in which the crowd
sau, Delaware. The body was carried
owned by Henry Harris, saloon keep
er Of Chester, Pa, and it is in charge
Of the authorities and will be confiscat-
ed, as It is a machine which has been
running more or less regularly for
the past three months in illicit whis-
key selling in Delaware.
The two men from whom the revolt
vers were taken, Faithful and Harris,
will probably receive two years each
in the workhOuse for carrying conceal
ed deadly weapons.

MILFORD GRANGE

Last Saturday was Poultry Day and
the poultry keepers were out in force.
Prof. R. " Mitchell, of Delaware
College, was the speaker. He gave
very interesting demonstration Of
the proper selection of eggs for incu-
batting, and also conducted a Round
Table, which was largely taken advan-
tage of. Among other questions dis
cussed was that of obtaining coal for
the coming hatch Prof. Mitchell is in
position to help secure this, and
asked a list of poultry growers in this
vicinity and the approximate amount
he would need to request. Every one
who is interested, whether a member
of the Grange or not, is requested to
give the amount they expect to need
TO Mr.. Lemex, Mr.. Phillips, or any
other Grange member, so that it may
be reported on Saturday. Promptness
is imperative In order to receive the
coal by March 18th, when many will
heed it. This plan has been success
fully carried out in several places
where individuals were unable to Sc
cure coal.
The program for March End will be
miscellaneous one. Considerable
business that had to be omitted on last
Saturday will be brought up for de-
cision.

WHEAT PRICE FIXED AT 81 20 BUSHEL

The pirce of wheat for 1918 has been
fixed by President Wilson at 1920 per
bushel, the same as last years crop.
The President says:
This guaranteed price assures the
farmer of a reasonable profit even if
the war should end within the year
and the large stores of grain in those
sections Of the world that are now
cut of from transportation should
again come into competition with ihs
products. To increase the price Of
wheat above the present figure, or to
agitate any increase Of price would
have the effect Of very seriously ham
pering the large operations of the ma
tion and Of the allies by causing the
wheat Of last years crop to be with
held from the market. It would, more
over, dislocate all the present wage
levels that have been established af-
ter much anxious dis sussion and
would, Therefore, create an industrial
unrest which would be harmful to
every industry IN the country.
