BISHOP KINSMAN TO RETIRE
AS HEAD OF DELAWARE DIOCESE. so
ANNOUNCED ON WEDNESDAY.

Bishop Frederick ]. Kinsman will
resign in October as bishop OF the
Protestant Episcopal diocese Of Del
aware. He officially informed the 1880
Convention of the diocese on Wednes-
Law of his intention to resign. His
formal resignation will be presented
to the General Convention OF the
church in October.
Bishop Kinsman gives as reasons for
deciding to resign the fact that he has
never been able easily to adapt him
self to the varied conditions of bish-
ops work, and family responsibilities
which make it difficult for him to live
in Delaware. But there are deeper
reasons" he says. These having moth
Eng to do with the diocese or special
conditions of any work, but have ref
erenee to my attitude toward prlncl-
ples and politics of the church at
large. l am conscious OF an increas-
ing lack of sympathy with various
dominant tendencies in our work ana
can no longer give that vigorous and
whole hearted service to which the
I diocese and church are entitled. Ihat
being the case, l can only serve you
by making way for someone else who
can, and this 1 willingly and gladly
do"
The bishop already has moved all
! If his personal belongings from Bish-
opstead in Wilmington, excepting some
articles he desires to leave for his
I successor. He expects to spend mos
Of his time between now and October
at Bryant Pond, Maine. He gives nc
animation of his plans beyond tha
me except to state that he will no
be hurried into premature determin
ations of questions of vital import
ance" to himself.
Bishop Kinsman was elected bishoI
of the diocese of Delaware clever
years ago He succeeded Bishol

REVIVAL AT CEDAR NECK

Last fall it was impossible to hold
the annual revival services at Cedar
Neck church for the young preacher,
Rev. Charles Atkins, was stricken with
influenza and pneumonia, but with the
coming of spring and in the face of
difficulties, for this is a busy time with
the farmers, he secured the services
of Miss Roberta Matthews, gifted
and powerful evangelist, and began
the greatest series of meetings the
church has ever known. For five
weeks the people have attended in
numbers too large for the church to
hold, and wonders have been the out
come. For many years Cedar Neck
Church has been dead, many times
the preacher having only empty pews
to greet him, for the children and the
grandchildren of the old officials seem
to have their minds fixed on other
things than the church and Sunday
school; Notwithstanding the fact that
the old church used to echo and re-
sound to the songs of Zion from the
lips of those now at rest in the GEM
etery.
However, the germ of the old time
religion was dormant, needing only
the personal touch and appealing ser
mons of Miss Matthews to light the
flame that has run from heart to heart
and from home to home, until it SEEM
ed a very Pentecost was upon the
church and people. Nearly three score
have been converted, the membership
warmed and hearty love and good will
preVades the atmosphere.

FARMERS PRODUCE
ASSOCIATION OFFICERS
WINTER BENNETT THE NEW PRESIDENT
and A. B. PEET SECRETARY. NEW
BOARD OF DIRECTORS NAMED.
TO EMPLOY SALES MANAGER
WHO WILL SELL ALL TOMATOES GROWN
R BY THE MEMBERS. EACH ONE HAS
GIVEN HIS NOTE TO DO THIS.

Tho directors of the Farmers Pro-
- Association met in Milford on
SatSrdav last and effected a perman-
- organization by electing the fol-
Ian,ing officers: President, Winter
Bennett. Vice President, John T. Hall;
Socretarv. A. B. Peet; Treasurer,
1rboodore Shockley. Each school dis
trict or unit is represented on the
BOARD of directors OF the assoclatlon'
Tbe Board of directors as named tol-
lows. John T. Hall, Edward Malony'
II. Skewis, Leonard Davis, A. b.
Peet. Milo Farber, H. Ross Lemex'
I.0nis RYDER. Theodore Shockley, Win
ter Bennett and U. Savage.
Tho association has been incorpOra-
ted under the laws of Delaware. 1t
has no capital stock and is not organ
we'd for profit. It's object is to en-
courage better and more economical
methods of production; to secure bet
ter results in grading, packing, mar
keting and advertising their products;
IN buv supplies in a cooperative way;
IN cultivate the cooperative spirit IN
tbe community and perform any other
work which may tend to the better
ment of the community. The member
shin of the local association at the
present exceeds 300 farmers, and at
the present time several districts are
now organizing. When the organ1za-
tions now being effected are completed
the membership should be increased
To AT least 400. 1t is estimated by
those in a position to know that t1e
association will control at least 30
per cent of the tomato crop IN TINS
locality during the present season.
The tomato growers OF the Eastern
shore of Maryland and Delaware are
now pretty thoroughly organized and
will cooperate in the marketing of
their product.
Every member of the organizations
organized in Delaware and Maryland
have given their notes as pledge to
abide by the rules of their Organiza-
tion and market all of their crop OF
tomatoes through their association.
Each association will employ Sales
Manager who will have full charge OF
the marketing of the entire crop Of his
association. He will be in close touch
with the market each day, and Will
have authority to holdup picking by
the farmers when their is an indica-
ton of a "glut" in the market. One OF
the principal objects of the farmers in
effecting an organization this season
was to reduce the acreage of tomatoes.
AS a result of this organizing, it is
certain that the acreage will not be
more than half of what it was last
year.
Plans are now being worked out to
bring all the local organizations on
the peninsula under one central head
from which each local will be operat-
ed. It is expected that this plan will
greatly facilitate the marketing Of the
crop and at the same time reduce the
expense. This, however, will not be
carried into effect in time to handle
the present crop. Most of the different
associations have fixed a minimum
price for which they will contract with
the Gamers, which price in most cases
has been $25 per ton. No price has
been agreed uPon by the Milford As
sOciatiOn.

MAKE YOUR INTEREST BUY
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

"Holders of Second Liberty Loan
Bonds can make no better use of the
interest payment they will receive
Nav Is. than to turn it into Thrift and
War Savings Stamps" G. 7. Reed,
cashier of the Milford Trust Company
of this city said today. By so doing,
they can make their interest keep on
making more interest for them and
they will be investing the proceeds OF
their patriotism in patriotism.
There were thousands of persons
or corporations in the Third Federal
Reserve District, who invested in the
Second Liberty Loan. Each one of
these will reap an interest crop May
18th. By sowing it back into War
Savings Stamps, that interest is kept
growing. If occasion arises and you
need what you have invested, War
Savings Stamps are always cashable
at the postoffice on ten days written
notice.
." The Treasury Department is urging
that all persons who possibly can, re-
invest their interest coupons in Thrift
and War Savings Stamps. Second
Liberty Loan Bond coupons may be
exchanged for Thrift or War Savings
Stamps at fhis bank or at the post
office. KeeD your dollars working"

new STATE ROADS
BEST In COUNTRY
AFTER INSPECTING DELAWARE HIGH
WAYS U. S. ENGINEERS LAUD THE
WORK BEING DONE HERE.
GEN. DU POINT ENTERTAINS
GOVERNOR TOWNSEND, MEMBERS OF
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT AND men
EMPLOYED In DEPARTMENT.

After careful inspection OF Dela-
,,ara's new highway system and espec-
iallv those sections which are now
ahout completed and others under
construction, engineers from the Uni
fed States Engineering department.
have stated that the new roads in this
state are the best in the United States.
This fact was made known at pri-
vate dinner and get together" meet
ing of Delaware's Highway Depart
ment at the Hotel DUPONT last Friday
evening. General Coleman dupont
gave the dinner and his guests COM
Drised Governor Townsend, Josiah
Marvil. of Wilmington, Joseph E. Hol-
land. of Milford, all members Of the
State Highway Commission and mem
bers of the engineering and inspection
service of the department.
Many of the phases of the work to
be done this spring and summer were
discussed and technical details thresn-
ed out. The highway department hopes
to be able to put through a number OF
road building projects this year SO
that by the time winter weather pro-
hibits any additional construction work
there will be many miles of new road
in condition for comfortable traVel.
1t was impressed upon the engineers
and inspectors that the commission de-
sired above all things that there should
not be the least taint of graft in the
conduct of the department, and that
every mile of road laid should be di-
rected in the contract.
United States engineers, it was
stated who have inspected Delaware's
new roads in which Uncle Sam has an
interest because he helps a little tc
pay the bill have said that they are
superior to any in the Union. This
excellent record, it is the hope of the
department and commission to main
tain.
The dinner was a unique affair and
the morale of the department which is
excellent materially aided by this
getting together" and talking things
over, after the manner of a family.

PERHAPS ANTHRAX CASE

Captain Nathaniel Lank, a shipcar-
penter in years gone by, and assistant
postmaster at Frederica, died on Mon
day afternoon under circumstances
somewhat peculiar. AS d result the the
State Board of Health ordered an i'm
mediate interment of the body Tues
day morning. A diagnosis of the case,
without an autopsy, seemed to reveal
anthrax.
Just how or why such a disease
should have affected Captain Lank can
not be explained definitely. Last week
he went to see a sister living in Mil
ton, who had also died after a brief
illness from an affection which start
ed in her face. While Captain did not
come in direct contact with his sister,
the fact that he was in the room where
she was prior to her death has led to
the belief that he contracted a germ
of whatever disease she had develop
ed with such rapidity as to cause her
illness and ultimate death.
Captain Lank was approaching the
age of so years. His sister was SO
years of age.

MILFORD NEEDS MANY
NEW SMALL HOUSES

The demand for dwelling houses in
Milford is far beyond the supply,
and for that reason small houses now
rent for from forty to fifty per cent
more than they did two years ago.
Twenty-Five small homes with cleo
trio lights, bath and toilet, would be
eagerly rented at fair prices in Mil
ford. Even the older dwellings which
have no eonveniences are grabbed up
quickly at twelve and fifteen dollars
per month. The land recently bought
by Edward NJ. Davis, in east South
Milford, is to have a number of houses
erected upon it this summer, and Mr..
Davis is overwhelmed with applicants
for them as soon as completed.
Everybody wants home with modern
conveniences now, and Mr.. Davis will
help supply the demand.
