RED CROSS WANTS WORKERS

Millions of women have given a
share of their time in chapter and
branch work rooms to the service Of
both soldiers and sailors and also civ
ilians. No part of Red Cross work is
more important than this. Every wo-
man in Milford should devote some
time to this Red Cross work at the
headquarters, either in the surgical
dressings or making the hospital
garments, so much is needed. A call
has come to US to make 40 GONZALES
cent robes and refugee garments, to
be finished in a short time and sent
to headquarters. Won't you women
of Milford do your share? This is
your Red Cross branch as well as
ours. Come and help us!
If you can knit, we have sweaters,
helmets and socks to have ready for
shipment in August, so our boys can
receive them before the awful cold
weather sets in. Come and do your

quarters a few hours a week. Comel

HARRINGTON MARKETS ATTRACT

The business people of Harrington
have enjoyed IOr years mueh business
which came to them from Wilmington,
Chester and Philadelphia, through the
employees of the railroads. Eggs,
poultry. pork, butter, vegetables. and
fruits, as well as game and other food
supplies. furnish the bulk OF this
trade, and it is appreciated by the
merchants OF Harrington, as it is
cash on the spot, and the trouble of
delivery is practically nothing at all.
The trainmen stopping at this june
tion have ample time to buy supplies
for their families, and carry them
home with them, and they certainly
do this They get absolutely fresh
eggs, butter and country produce di-
rect from the farmer and at prices
less the freight und commission
charges. Then the women folk who
have men employed on the railroad
ride on annual passes, and they come
down on morning trains and buy their
weekly supplies and take them home
on the afternoon trains-thus making
a profitable days work in saving on
the cost of table supplies. On eggs
they save from Is to IS cents per dOz-
en-; on fowls nearly half the price Of
city markets; on butter from 10 to Is
cents per pound Other supplies
have equally large savings, and the
merchants of Harrington have learn
ed to cater to the growing trade.
The Shirt Factory Sold.
The old shirt factory located at
Harrington has been sold to a firm
which assures that it will be operat-
ed steadily at good wages to the en-
ployees. The new owners now have
a successful factory at Smyrna, and
have orders far beyond their capacity
to fill. The business is not confined !
to shirt making, in fact that is only |
a small factor of the business. They |
purpose to get the building in shape |
and install the new machinery for |
the fall business.
William B. Turner, who was injur
ed by an automobile striking him last |
week in Milford, is getting over the
shock, and hopes to be able to get
iOwn to business again soon.
There has been no effort made to
get the streets sprinkled during the
Try and dusty spell of weather. Why
his should be permitted. when there
s ample water supply to keep the
own in comfort, can only be account
ID for by a lack of energy on the
)art of those who govern the town.

KENT HAS ITS LIBERTY KITCHEN

That the showers given Saturday
afternoon. at Dover in honor OF the
Kent County Liberty Kitchen was a
big success and cannot be doubted by
any OF US who attended. We are glad
to note that among those present al
most every county in the community
was represented. After thoroughly
exploring the kitchen we spent a
pleasant social hour visiting with our
friends
We think our Liberty Kitchen the
finest in the state. 1t has been care
fully planned so as to be sanitary,
convenient and dainty in appearance
1t is well equipped, having water,
stoves, tables and all the other con-
veniences of a modern kitchen. We
have the State Council of Defense to
thank for furnishing the kitchen.
The chief object of the Liberty
Kitchen is to disseminate knowledge
of and to develop interest in
The need of conservation;
Scientific methods of food conserva-
tiOn by means of demonstrations;
practice in the kitchen; distribution
of literature.
Anyone wishing to help on food
pIODIems Will please pay visit to the
Liberty Kitchen and there consult
with the Home Demonstration Agent.
With careful cooperation we intend
that no food shall go to waste in Kent
County. You are urged to report all
surplus vegetables and fruits to your
community committeeman, who will
in turn arrange for some one to pre-
serve 1t for the Red Cross or other
philanthropic purposes. You are
each responsible for waste in your
respective communities. The Red
Cross is prepared to furnish Jars and
sugar to be used for this work. Viola
boasts of thirty-four quarts of fruit
canned for the Red Cross. This in
cludes blackberries. raspberries, ap-
pie jelly and apple juice, all of which
are on display at the Liberty Kitchen.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF GRANGE

On last Friday a meeting was held
in Grange Hall by a number of pOul-
try and live stock raisers, to discuss
ways and means to obtain feeds and
to standardize prices from the various
producers.
These questions are of the greatest
Importance to all feed users, as the
problem of transportation will be-
come more difficult from now on, and
crops in this vicinity have an unfav-
orable outlook at present, the wheat
crop having been practically a fail
ure.
The meeting was entirely informal.
and matters were gone into quite
thoroughly by all present. It was
finally decided to have the chairman.
Mr.. A C. Howe, appoint a committee
to confer with the local head of the
poultry division of the Sussex County
Farm Bureau, Mr.. Charles Grove;
through him with the Executive
Board of the Farm Bureaus, in refer
ence to a meeting of feed users of
both Kent and Sussex counties. This
committee, Messrs. Lemex and Willis
Hammond. and Mrs. John Short. are
arranging for a conference, and there
probably will be present at the meet
ing representatives from both the
State and National Food Administra-
tion Departments. and from the Ma
tional Department of Agriculture.
Further announcements will be
made as soon as arrangements can
be completed
AS the Farm Bureau is the surest
and quickest means of obtaining a
hearing from those in authority, it
has been decided to take the matter
up with that organization in both
counties. Every person using mill
feeds is vitality interested in the sub
ject, and will be asked to lend all pos
sible help to improve conditions.

INJURED IN AUTO COLLISION

Last Friday william B. Turner,
who resides in Harrington, and is the
boOkkeeper for the l. D. Short Com
pany of Milford, as well as for the
Harrington firm of the same name,
was caught between two automobiles
at the corner of South Walnut Street
and West Front Street, and cOnsid-
erably injured. The cars were driven
by Mrs. Winter Bennett, of near Mil
ford, and Elias Simpson, of near Nor
dington Mills, in Kent County. Mr..
Simpson stopped when he saw there
was likely to be a collision, and call
ed to Mr.. Turner to look out for the
other machine, which was approach
ing him from the rear and around the
corner. Mrs. Bennett was blowing
her alarm and attempting to stop and
struck the other car sufficiently hard
to crush the running board down, and
it was between them that Mr.. Turner
was caught His chin was injured,
and his left shoulder strained, but no
bones were broken. DR.. John Pret-
lyman gave medical attention at his
office, and found Mr.. Turner suffering
from shock and bruises. He was re-
moved to his home at Harrington that
and since has been unable
to use his left arm to any consider
able extent.

MORE ABOUT SUGAR.

Edmund Mitchell, Federal Food Ad-
ministratOr for Delaware, announces
new sugar regulations on account OF
the unexpected scarcity. due to the
demands of war and the inability to
bring raw sugar to this country.
The United States Food Administra-
tiOn at Washington has notified the
State Food Administrators that they
must not issue sugar certificates to
store keepers in excess Of the total
allotment it has made to each state,
consequently it may be necessary to
decrease the allotment to retailers for
August and September.
In addition to this, retailers must
police their trade. and in no case
must they sell large amounts for can
ming and they must see that no sugar
is to be sold for canning unless it is to
be used Immediately.
In issuing certificates in no case
may a retailer issue more than 25
pounds to any one customer without
the approval Of the State Food Ad
ministratOr.
1t is requested that retailers keep a
record of all two and FIVE pound pur-
chases. keeping the name, date and
address of the purchases, and mail a
copy of this record to the Federal
Food Administrator; and also see that
an equitable distribution of sugar is
made to all customers.
Retailers should impress upon the
family canner to use the water pack
method without sugar, in preserving
fruits. and add the sugar at the time
of COuSumDtiOn when sugar will he
more plentiful. This can be easily
and safely done. and a great amount
of sugar will. at this time. be saved
