When the seed catalogs arrive, study
them. There's a lot of useful infor-
nation as to when, how and where TO
sow seeds. Also, the catalogs will
get you acquainted with the vege-
tables you are going to grow.
Now's the time for the family gar

want to raise in your backyard or
vacant lot garden. Pick those vege-
tables your family likes best. II they

Manufacturers for "Open Door,
Every American soldier and sailor
will find his old job awaiting him upon
his discharge from service, according
to a statement issued last week by
Stephen c. Mason, President of the
National Association of Manufacture
ers. "The outstanding obligation of
every manufacturer" the statement
said, "now is to be ready to take back
into his plant the men who dropped
their work to place their lives at the
disposal of the nation. 1t is their
plain duty to have an "open door, for
a return to opportunity and prosperity
of every American soldier and sailor
who seeks to return to his former en-
plOyment and occupation regardless of
how the position may have been filled
during his absence in the service of
our nation" The Association sent
messages of congratulation upon the
end of the war to the manufacturers

ENDS GRAND JURYS WORK
CASES BEFORE KENT COUNTY
COURT DISPOSED OF AT DOVER.
Grand Jurys Final Report Makes Re-
ference to Noticeable Increase in
Whiskey-Selling Cases.

Kent county grand jury Thursday,
visited the county Jail in Dover and
the almshouse near Wyoming. Re
turning the jury acted upon two cases,
one arising Wednesday afternoon, in
West Dover The complainant was
the wife of Paul List and the charge
was wife-beating. The woman show
ed indication of a severe beating, her
head being bloody with a serious
wound on one side, which she claims
was inflicted by her husband by
stick and that the stick was broken
over her head during the beating.
The grand jury returned a true bill.
The other case was against Adam
Petras, a foreigner, living in West
Dover, charged by his wife with as
sault and battery. Petras, it is un-
derstoOd, has left for parts unknown.
The case brings to light an application
which was made at the last term of
court by Mrs. Petras for a divorce
from her husband. which was halted
at the outset by Petras denying he
was ever married to the woman, al
though he acknowledged she had three
children by him. A true bill was re-
turned. The grand jury then return
ed to the court and presented its final,
as follows:
Grand Jury Makes Final Report.
We have acted on 62 bills and found
SO true bills and ignored 3.
We have visited the county aims
house and farm and find same in very
good condition. The buildings are
clean and in sanitary condition
There are now SO inmates, among
them being five children, The farm
and buildings show careful supervision
under the management of Frank +
Maloney, ably assisted by his wife.
The buildings are very much in neeC
of a coat Of paint, and we recommend
that this matter be given early at
tention, it having been more than five
years since they were painted.
We have also visited the county Jail
The sanitary conditions are fairly
good, but the building is very cold
owing to the breaking down of thu
heating plant, early last spring. W.
recommend and urge that every effor
be made to have this condition re
medied at the earliest moment, as ;
safeguard to the health of the in
mates.
