DELAWARE MEN MADE GOOD

Back in the eighties four brothers
resided in Dover, named George, Will
liam, James and Nathaniel Benn, and
their ambition was to go West, but
having. little funds they worked their
way as far as Chicago. Here they be-
gan to realize that this is some big
country and how far they were from
home. Study over the prospect>caus-
ed them to get skeptical as to the pros
poets and so they accepted an oppor-
tup1ty to come back east as far as
View York with a shipment of cattle
and sheep. From there they finally
returned to Dover, Delaware. But the
spirit was not dead, and they were not
satisfied with the result of their first
trip, so shortly they made another
venture. This time they reached
North Dakota, where each brother
took up a homestead claim Of public
property, and there they made good.
Since then they have bought home
steads from less fortunate neighbors
which made them large ranch of
valuable property, where they breed
and raise fine stock.
This stock they are now shipping
east and sell every year by the car
load. A shipment was made one year
ago to Dover, their home town, which |
sold readily and which stock has given
satisfaction to those who bought it. !
This year they have returned with an
other carload to Dover; in addition, |
they will bring another carload to
Milford and give the people Of Mil
ford chance to buy some of these
ane animals. The sale will be held
on this Saturday afternoon, August
%, at the stables Of Thad Windsor,
North Milford. See their advertise
nent in this paper for further par
iculars.

DAYLIGHT REPEAL REL PEEAL
NOW LAW OVER VETO
THE SENATE FOLLOWS HOUSE IN RE-
PASSING BILL BY VOTE OF FIFTY
SEVEN TO NINETEEN.
TAKES EFFECT IN OCTOBER
AGITATION FOR LAWS REPEAL FIRST
CAME FROM FARMERS, BUT WAS
BACKED BY OTHER INTERESTS.

Repeal Of the Daylight Saving Act
was accomplished Wednesday. The
Senate voted to sustain the House in
passing the repeal measure over Pres
ident Wilson's veto. The vote was
So to 10.
The House vote was 22S to l01. vot-
ing to overrule the veto in the House
were 116 Republicans and 10S Dem
ocrats. and to sustain the President
54 Republicans and 46 Democrats and
1 Independent.
The repeal OF the law. which takes
its place among the very few which
have been passed over a Presidential
veto, becomes effective after the clocks
are turned back to normal in October.
The act will go down in legislative
history as one OF the few measures
which have been vetoed twice by a
President and have become law after
all by the vote OF more than two-
thirds in both Houses Of Congress.
Agitation for the repeal OF the Day
light Saving law first came from farm
ers, but was backed by labor unions,
mothers clubs. rural school authori-
ties. and many other interests.
Loss in time in farm labor was the
principal objection raised to the law.
Farmers said that with the clock ad-
vanced an hour, work could not begin
as early in the morning as under the
normal time schedule and must close
an hour earlier This was because
the dew on the ground in the early
morning prevents farm labor.
Farm hands, it was contended, would
not work after 6 D. m, clock time, or
at most z o'clock.
Mothers objections to the daylight
law we're based upon confusion of
conditions in the home and, funda-
mentally, loss Of sleep by children.
Protests against the law from labor
unions and workingmen were based
upon the requirements for earlier ris-

sl.YEAR.OLD BRANDY PEAcHEs.

Mrs. Sallie Tomlinson of East Sec
ond street, South Milford, opened at
her home on Sunday evening last what
she supposed was a glass jar Of pre-
serves, but it was a jar Of brandy
peaches which her mother had packed
thirty-one years ago. The peaches
were fine and delicious. Cognac
brandy was used to conserve the
peaches when they were packed thirty
one years ago, and they had kept per-
fectly And oh, my! the fragrance of
that jar Of fruit was something delight
full, and two Of the peaches with a
small portion of the Syrup" would
almost curl your hair. The sad part
of the story is, that Mrs Tomlinson
has no more Of this fine luxury from
the past to even contemplate-it must
forever remain a memory.

ONE OF our REASONS.

While the prospects for CONNER
cial flow of oil In this Valley has long
Ibeen considered bright and few
men have devoted their time and no
small amount of means toward In
yestlgating this possibility and to
prosecuting a search for It, the real
Importance of such possibility has
been overlooked by many.
The fact that oil has really been
found at a shallow depth and that
the finding of gas has been rather
common in many wells in certain
i portions of this Valley seems to have
not impressed the average citizen as
a big commercial proposition asiue
from the direct business of producing
4 oil. That the by-products OF suon a..
enterprise would mean much to the
country seems to have been lost sight
4 of. With cheap fuel available the
development of many enterprises is
within reach and should not be over
looked.
one man who has taken an inter
]. lest In the oil prospecting points out
4 the advantages of this field OF en-
fdeavor most concisely. He owns
several hundred acres of dry land;
Ehe has found a supply of water near
4 sthe surface sufficient to irrigate this
Hand; a six inch pump has not made
|any impression upon this supply and
HE is convinced that this method OF
3reclaiming such land is feasible and
&practical. With cheap fuel this is
[within the reach of every dry home

certain that this land will produce

4 Those in charge of the work at the
Bog Mountain we'll confidently ex-
pect to find oil in that hole Just as
<oon as the experienced driller re-
now since the water has at
ast been shut off. Regardless of
Ee success or failure OF this under
