Wheat Crop Nearly Threshed

1t is estimated that more than three.
fourths of the wheat crop in this section
is now threshed and more than one-
half of that is now in the market.
There was never a better season for
handling wheat, the weather for six
weeks being dry and clear. rhreshlng
machine owners all unite in saying
that they have had the best run of
threshing they can remember.
The farmers were all anxious to sell
the crop and as fast as cars could be
obtained the wheat was loaded. The
quality was above the average. for
many years Wheat from this section
has never before been known to grade
above mo. g. red'' and the early sales
this Sc ason We're based on that grade.
Thus the dealers were verv much
surprised to get returns from the first
shipments informing them that wheat

CONSTRUCTING NEW RAILROAD

The Scribe on Wednesday, August
7th, as the guest of Messrs Fogel &
Burstan, viewed the extensive prepara.
tions being made by the Government to
build huge war plant, near Port Penn.
A railroad has been surveyed from
the Delaware railroad main line at Mt.
Pleasant to the Delaware river near
Port Penn, and houses to accommodate
the workmen have already been erected
at Mt. Pleasant.
Near Port Penn the Government has
bought 800 acres Of land, and it is de-
signed to employ 5000 men at the works
when completed, on or about January
lst, 1919.
Already many structures are up and
others being built on both sides of the
road, and in few weeks the whole To-
cality will be busy beehive of working
hundreds. later to become working
thousands.
Here is big future trade for some.

Bees, Booze, And Biz

How doth the busy. boczy bee
Improve each shining flower,
And sip the poppy's juice till he
Reels sprawling by the hour!
I've seen him in poppy cup.
Prone, soused, in ecstasy.
While Myriad ccmrades whooped it up,
All drunk as lords can be.
With two legs and jag, man
Is in an awful fix;
Think of the boozy bee-how can
He ever manage six?
But, unlike man the busy bee
Is wise, you bet he IS!
Once stung, he cuts the esctasy
And settles down to biz.

Why Called <Blue Hens Chicks"

Just why Delaware soldiers have been
called :Blue Hens Chickens - is ex-
planned in the following .it of history.
There is Legend that cock fighting
was at one. time conspicuous masps
of diversion int this State Captain
CAiawel!, who commanded the first
Delaware regiment during the l;evo-
lutionary War, and who was famous
fighter of chickens. had already assert
ed that no cock. could be truly game
whose mother was not blue hen.
From this, it is said, Delaware came
to be called the "Blue Hen State"
and the Delaware regiment the "Blue
Hens Chickens
