MAY MAKE DOUBLE OUTLET

Colonel J. p. Jervey was In Milford
and Lewes last Friday sounding SEN
timent on the proposed inland water
ways project. Colonel Jervey visited
Milford Friday afternoon, where he adj
dressed a meeting of about so citiznes.
Although opinion was divided, most
of the Milford residents seemed to
favor the plan of continuing the pro-
posed canal TO the mouth of the Mis-
pilliOn. with the outlet through the
mile-long jetties at that point They
claimed that the water would run
north inside the bay shore and that
the mouth OF the Mispillion was. there
fore. the logical outlet.
Friday night Colonel Jervey consult
ed with the business men of Lewes.
and they believed that the outlet OF
the canal should be further south
giving into a point near the harb0r of
refuge They maintained that if the
mouth of the canal were made 3 miles
from Lewes. az the mouth Of the Mis-
pillion, that it would be Of little bene-
fit to Lewes. Opinion in Lewes was.
however, divided
The U. s. Engineer office is now
preparing a report on conditions as
found Friday. which will be published
In about a week. There is some pos
sibilty of making two outlets to the
canal, if that is found practicable. The
principle obstacles to TWO outlets are
the currents which might possibly be
created by tributary streams. and the
expenses.

way Department. were the guests of
Charles Upham. chief engineer and
others of the Delaware State High
way Department, Monday and Tues
day. Comparison of the highways of
the two states and the inspection Of
parts OF Delaware highways were fea-
lures of the visit
Mr. Upham stated Tuesday that no
more contracts for new roads will be
started until complete right of way
can be secured, as this holds up the
construction division of the work Re
Gently the right of way for the Dover
Magnolia road was secured and con-
struction of the road from Dover to

tract between Smyrna and Selbyvill
is finished, the DUPONT road will have
been completed.

TO COMPUTE HONOR LIST OF
cow TESTING ASSOCIATION

In the Diamond State Cow Testing
Association at Newark, Dell there has
been little change in the price of milk
or feed during the past month. Mixed
feeds of certain brands have advanced
but other feeds such as bran have
dropped due to a temporary surplus.
Cotton seed meal of high analysis can
be purchased in car load lots of twen-
ty tons or more for around $S1 per
ton, delivered. Lower grades are
available at cOrrespondingly lower
prices. Good grades of alfalfa hay
can be bought for approximately $40
a ton.
1t was thought policy to compute
the honor list for September on the
butterfat basis. ]. l. Dayett of Cooch
is the owner of the record COW for the
past month. She Is the first COW to
make so pounds of butterfat in the
association, and with a test of "A per
cent she gives evidence of producing
a splendid yearly record. ]. T. Ed
mundsOn's COW holds the record for
milk production, but because of her
lower butterfat test she was unable to.
head the list. She is, however. the
only COW which made over so pounds
of butterfat for two consecutive
months.
When these records are considered
from every angle it is evident that the
herd which contains the highest pro-
ducer is not necessarily the one which
returns the greatest profit for the
owner. 1t takes several good cows TO
make up for few poor ones.

BURGLARS ROB MILFORD STORE

Burglars entered the clothing store
of Mark L. Davis before midnight last
Wednesday evening and stole about
two hundred dollars worth of mer-
chandise, so far as can be missed. The
thieves took a large suit case, three
expensive suits of clothes. a lot Of
shirts, and cleaned one case of neck
wear Some jewelry was also taken
and the trays spilled over the floor
The safe was unlocked and they
oyerhoauled it thoroughly by turning
out the contents of the various draw
ers on the floor. and the money com
partment was rummaged. but they did
not get any money for the reason that
it had been placed in little box in
lower compartment and that was the
only box in the safe which was not
disturbed.
They gained an entrance by pushing
down the top sash of a back window,
which was not locked. and climbing
over it,
Mr.. Hillman, the attendant, general
ly goes out to a nearby restaurant
every evening after closing the store
they remain open Wednesday even
ings until nine o'clock-and passes the
time in conversation with friends un-
til about midnight, when he returns to
the store and turns off the lights. This
habit was evidently known to the
thieves, who entered the store and did
their work before he returned before
midnight
Local thieves are suspected of this
burglary and there are several OF their
associates who are under suspicion. I

WOOD FOR WINTER FUEL

Many farms have available large
quantities Of timber, allen and other
wise, which the farmer can profitably
convert into fuel for the coming Win
ter if he will provide himself with
the necessary power-Operated equip
ment A large amount Of labor re-
quired in preparing iirewood has kept
many farmers from using wood for
fuel. but with the high prices for coal
1t behooves the thrifty farmer to con-
slider the advantage of investing in a
wood saving machine which will
make IL possible to utilize much tim
Der on his land at a relatively small
expenditure OF labor A great many
farmers already have gasoline engines
suitable for driving such a machine
The latter is comparatively ineXpen-
sive. One outfit can do the work for
several farmers each year and the
purchase of a complete outfit, includ-
ing an engine. TO furnish power may
be profitable for a group of farmers
or for one who is in a position to do
a certain amount of work for his
neighbors. The United States De
partment of Agriculture offers free

DELAWARE LEADS IN
ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Delaware, with between $4,000 .OOC
and S5.0O0,O0O worth of new road un-
der construction is easily leader
among the rest Of the States in road
construction, when her small area is
considered. Pennsylvania is probably
the leading eastern State in mileage
of road construction, and it is pointed
out that for that State to equal Della
ware she should have under construe-
tion 2400 miles Of road. whereas she
has but 600 or ZOO miles. The west is
not up to the east in this respect.
Delaware roads, as at present con-
structed, are of the very highest type
In fact, no roads are being built ex-
cept those of brick or concrete con-
struction. Macadam has been aban-
doned and the cost of maintenance
is to a great extent put into the initial
cost, all of which is very gratifying
to the users of our State highways.
