meeting of the Peninsula Horticul-
tural Society in Chestert0wn. Md,
January 6, Z. and s, are the buffet

town during the meeting of the Amer
lean Farmers Congress. This film will
be shown on Tuesday night at Rus
sells opera house.
Letters from fruit growers and mar
ket gardeners from the Peninsula and
outside indicate that this will be one
Of the best meetings in exhibits, pa
pers and discussion, and in attend
ance, that has ever been held. No
progressive farmer should fail to at
tend. Ample hotel accommodations
have been provided. Meals will be
served at Washington College for sixty
cents and hotels and boarding houses
can easily take care OF the lodging
and breakfast

MILFORD BOY SCOUTS MEET

On Monday, December 22. the Boy
Scouts of Milford met at the Milford
Grange Hall to partake OF a turkey
supper. Besides our Local Commits
siOners we had as our guests Mr.. +. j.
Lewis, Prof. Shilling, Major Lank and
Major Cannon. +. NJ Davis of Will
mingtOn was invited but owing to a
previous engagement could not be
with us, but as is his custom, he sent
us a liberal contribution. The boys
of Milford are not taken care of as
boys of other towns are haven't and
cannot rent lowing TO scarcity of
buildings) a place to hold our weekly
meetings. But if we had a few friends
(of deeds and not of wordsl who
would contribute like Mr. Davis we
could build a cabin on plot of land
given to US by Mr.. Walter Hammond
Would not a few of our leading men
and women help with a liberal con
tribution to this worthy cause? The
boys are ready to serve, as was made
clear in several of the after-dinner
speeches. Addresses were made BY
Rev. r. X. Stephenson, Rev. c. f. Dry
den, Mr. A. B. Peet, Mrs. +. J. Lewis.
Prof Shilling, Major Lank. Major Can
non, Scout Master DR.. Roberts, and
Assistant Scout Master Prof. j. c.

and the ladies'. Mrs. Roberts. Mrs.
Short Mrs Peet, and Mrs Cubbage,
we separated after spending a very
enjoyable evening.

DESIRE CURFEW LAW FOR
THE STATE OF DELAWARE

Stating that the plan for a curfew
law for the children of Wilmington
had met with but trifing opposition.
the Sunshine Societies of the city are
preparing to wage a vigorous cam
paign after the first of the year. Not
only has there been general approba-
ti6n. but several of the smaller towns
of the State have written to the Sun
sinners. asking that a Statewide ap-
plication of the law be made. Accord
ing to this idea, all young people of
the State under sixteen years of age
would be required to be in their home
after nine o'clock in the evening.
Such plan would necessitate bill
before the State Legislature, unless
the agitation should be carried on in
individual towns and districts. While
il is stated by the Sunshiners that
sixty-fve large cities have adopted
curfew laws, it is not believed that
any State has a general law on the
subject
So far, the agitation has been con-
fined to mass meetings and petitions
to Council, because 1t is not desired
to force a law upon the people of Will
mington unless they wish it, such
law or ordinance requiring public
sentiment. 1t is presumed that senti-
ment will be pretty generally develop
ed after the New Year, and that steps
will then be taken to secure approval
of the law by the authorities.

DELAWARE BOARD
INVITES PROBERS
PRESIDENT HENRY B. THOMPSON ISSUES
A STATEMENT REQUESTING AN
INVESTIGATION.
BELIEVE FRICTION is ENDED
The RESIGNING PROFESSORS ARE HARRY
HAYWARD, allan R. CULLIMORE
AND CLARENCE A. SHORT.

Investigators desirOus of acquiring
first hand data of conditions at Della
ware College were invited to consult
the board of trustees before probing
further. The invitation was extended
by Henry b. Thompson, president Of
the board, in a general statement, fol-
lowing formal acceptance by the ex-
ecutiye committee of three resigna-
tions at a melting held in the Hotel
dupont Saturday afternoon The re-
signing professors are Harry Hay
ward, dean of the Agricultural De-
partment; Allan r. Cullimore. dean
of engineering; and Clarence A. Short.
professor of mathematics and engin-
eering.
While these designations, it is said,
sadly cripple the teaching staff of the
college, successors familiar with the
situation were appointed Charles A.
McCue was named dean of the agri-
cultural staff, and Professor Firman
Thompson, acting dean of engineering
The executive committee considered
the advisability of increasing the bud
get of the agricultural department to
allow an increase in salaries of the
STAFF but no definite decision was
reached.
In rapping the investigation held by
the committee of the Alumni Associa-
tion, Mr.. Thompson said "the trustees
always welcome alumni cooperation
and investigation, but believe the best
interests of the college will be served
if such self-appointed committees
make their requests for information
through the board, rather than the
president and faculty"
He stated several complaints touch
ing the agricultural branch had been
received. In an indefinite history of
the situation, he told of a conference
with Dean Hayward. which resulted
in his resignation. The friction has
been overcome. he hinted by this res I
ignatiOn.
In the campaign for funds to in
crease salaries and strengthen the
500 ,261 has been raised.
to date, the president OF the board
pointed out. When the goal, 100000. I
is reached, material strength can be
added to certain departments.

FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED
HARRY BETS OF MILFORD ENDS LIFE
IN WILMINGTON.

Last Sunday Harry Belts. aged
about % years, who was working in
the Pusey & Jones ship yards in viii
mlngton, was found dead from gas
asphyXiation. He was found by a boy.
a son of the boarding house keeper.
at 2O4 King street. and where Belts
had roOmed for three months.
Patroimen McGillion and Eldrickson
arrived at the house shortly after the
discovery had been made and in their
Investigation found nearly a hundred
empty Jamaica ginger and bay rum
bottles in the room. A pint bottle half
Iull OF bay rum was found standing
on table near the bed Belts. with
only his hat coat and shoes Off. was
lying in bed with several blankets
wrapped around him.
The gas was escaping from a stove
which the man used to cook his meals
while gas burner which was con-
nected with the same pipe was burn
ing. That the escaping gas from the
stove was evidently turned on late
Saturday night did not ignite and set
fire to the house is a mystery. 1t is
the opinion of the police that Belts
became intoxicated from drinking the
hair tonic and when he was about to
retire, attempted to turn of the gas
light, but instead turned one the stove
key. as the two keys were but a half
inch from each other
The mans cap was found lying
under the bed while a pair Of spec
tacles were inside the cap A card
with the name of John Taylor signi-
flying membership in the Carpenters
Union, was found in one of his coat
pockets
Coroner Nichols was notified or the
death by the police and took charge
If the body.

MOTHERS PENSIONS

AT a meeting of the State Mothers
Pension Commission on Friday, at
Dover, a review Of the years work
was made.
In New Castle county AZ pensions
were granted; in Kent county. %;
Sussex county. 81. In New Castle
county there is a waiting list OF 63
for pensions, which cannot be granted
because of lack Of funds. In Sussex
county the limit has been reached,
there being no more money available.
Kent county is the only county not
exceeding its limit and there will be
a balance to report there. Just why
there has not been a greater number
of applications in Kent county the
commission cannot explain. Il is
either due to the provisions of the
act not being fully known or because
there are not dependents enough to
seek aid.

iience at all the meetings.

Let S Do 1t
This Christmas
You and |

If you don t mind let IS get in step with those
folks over on the happy side of the street. Let's
forget everything about what has gone wrong
and the hundred and one things that have made
us both kind of hard to live with of late.
Let's just make believe we are kids again
not the kind of dolled-up kids most of them are
these days. But the fun-filled ones of those
years ago when you and wore copper-toed
boots and Nav wound red tippets around
our necks, and we ran whooping and whistling
across the lots to the big hill for a ride on
that wonderful new Christmas sled.
Let's get back some of that good old care
freeness Let's forget life's harping carping,
hurry-worries and just be old fashioned boys
again.
Let's do it, because it's one of the good
things to do. But let's do it mostly because it s
the thing to do when Christmas is doing.
Further than that, let's make 1920 just one
of the whoop- -holleringest ones that ever
brought bunch of happiness on Happy New
Year.
Let be regular folks-you and I.
