A FINE NEW BAKERY

Middletown is in luck ! Has gotte
what it has long needed-a first-clas
baker, in the person of Mr.. F. D. Zaf
fere who after making big success q
Millington. Md, had the misfortune t,
be completely burned out there, ant
forced to leave.
Mr.. Zaffere is already we'll and favor
ably known to this community, having
had cherge of Mr.. We6er's bakery
years ago; and from all the Iaudatory
comments one hears even now about
his bread etc., he has lost none of his
old time skill.
He has bought the property on North
Broad street formerly used by Mr..
Fred Bloome as bakery and has en-
larged and remodeled it, besides build
ing a new brick oven after the most
scientific and modern plans of skilled
Baltimore expert. He says the best
bread cannot be baked in the iron ovens
the old slow heat is best.
He has made store out of the front
room and will keep all kinds of breads,
biscuits, buns, rolls. mullins. fancy
cakes, pies, cocoanut kisses, chocolates,
macaroons etc.,-these last, just as
soon as he can get things arranged. He
says his new oven will not do its very
best work until it has been few weeks
in use; but if one may judge by the
''land office business" he is already
doing, his cakes and breads must be
toothsome Stuff es it is
Mr.. Zaffere has come to stay, to cast
his lot permanently in our town, and
we'll deserves the generous welcome he
has received-doubly so since he is CIV
ing US the luxury of high grade articles
produced fresh every day.
Moreover, being at no cost for freight
or commissions he can sell his products
considerably below the imported article.
Mr.. Zaffere has started delivering his
bread etc., by wagon over the town.

BOYS TO WORK ON HARMS

The office of the U. S. Boys Working
Reserve in the Old Federal Building at
9Th and King streets, Wilmington, Del,
is receiving number of requests from
farmers of the State of Delaware for
boys to work on farms. Most of these
boys are wanted at once by the farm
ers, and the Reserve has only been able
to supply few as the majority of boys
enrolled for this work have been school
boys whose summer vacations have not
startsd. The State Director, Mr..
Charles Warner, makes an appeal to all
boys over 16 years of age, who have no
employment, to enroll for this work.
There are number of boys who do
not attend school and have NO regular
emplsylaeHt who should volunteer for
farm work as patriotic duty to their
country in this hour of distress. There
are also number of boys employed in
non-essential work to the Government
at this time, who would be Of far more
value Ia their country if they were to
volunteer for farm work. These should
also apply for enrolment in the Re-
serve. There is an enrolling officer in
practically every fair sized town in the
State of Delaware. They are generally
situated in the High Schools. The en-
rolling Office in Wilmington (for boys
who do not attend school, is in the Old
Federal Building at 9Th and King
streets.
The Reserve will keep in touch with
each boy placed on the farm, by hsv;ps;
q representative call upon hin, and. his
employer 1t freauent Intervals. It will
be the duty Of this representative. to
tSl$ 5Ner The work with the boy. and his
emPlpyer. the farmer, and give thea
advice: It will also be the duty Of the
representative TO nsFeot the housing
conditions, see thar they are satisfactory
and that the boy is we'll cared for.
