THRESHERMEN RAISE PRICES

A meeting of the Middletown
Threshermen's Association was
held in the hall of Peach Blossom
@ e.4Is5S I..oL C..I..i uay acteI IIou4.s
The organization includes all Of
the owners of threshing machines
in the country.
After some discussion it was
unanimously agreed to make a
charge of eight cents a bushel for
all threshing from the field, and
five cents per bushel for all stack
threshing. This is an advance of
one cent per bushel over last
years prices, and the advance is
found necessary on account Of the
increase in the prices of machin
cry, oils and labor.

GAMERS AWAIT
ADJUSTMENT

Delaware Gamers are still await
ing an adjustment of their claims
against the war department and
some of them are displaying de-
cided impatience. A representative
called at the department this week
and made it known that if speedy
action is not taken a question
would be made of it on the floor of
the House.
It lis the old story of the discrimi-
nation by the department against
Delaware packers of tomatoes.
Gamers of the same product in
Maryland received 16 cents a case
more for their supplies than was
paid to the Gamers in Delaware.
Representative Caleb R. Layton
of Delaware is expected to have ar
interview with an accredited re-
preventative of the War Depart
ment soon.

Hot Lunches Served In Schools

School lunches have been establish
ed in 73 rural schools of nine Indiana
counties where home demonstration
agents have been at work. By this
means 3,237 school children in the
past year have been served with at
least one hot dish at noon. The i'm
mediate aim has been to improve the
physical and mental condition of the
children and educate them to the
value of milk, vegetables, and fruit in
their diet. The ultimate aim is to
convince the school autnorities of the
Importance of hot lunch to a child.
One home demonstration agent found
on a second visit to a group of $40
pupils that IT'S reported they were
drinking more milk, 144 ate more
fruit, 13 ate more vegetables and 30
were bringing milk to school as part
of their luncheon.

Outlook For Hog
Business Good

The future of the hog business is
good, say those who are in close touch
with the world situation. The fact
that the United States isin its pres
ent prosperous condition and that the
worlds hog production is centralized
in this country, coupled with heavy
shipments of pork products abroad,
indicates that this year the demand
for hogs will be even greater than it
was last year. The feeling among
the packers is that Europe will con-
sumo extra quantities of pork pro-
ducts for some years, which means of
course, continued good demand with
little prospect of sharp decline in
prices for the coming year.
Proper housing, feeding and care
of hogs in Delaware should receive
greater consideration this year thar
ever before.

FOR INCREASED
APPROPRIATION

Efforts will be made by the Della
ware delegation in Congress to OBJ
tain an increased appropriation for
public buildings in this State. The
bill which failed to get considera-
tion in the Sixty-ffth Congress
provided for an appropriation OF
$4,000 for postoffice buildings at
Georgetown and Newark, respec-
lively. This is regarded by Sem
ators Wolcott and Ball and by
Representative Layton as made
quate.
The bill as reported by the COM
mittee on public lands and build
ings authorized appropriations
which might have been sufficient
to finance the projects on the basis

such sums will be wholly INSULT
cient for present needs.

fighting stopped the use of books in
creased enormously and has continued
to grow in volume The men have
little to do to occupy a great amount
of leisure time. Reading is one of the
most substantial and profitable forms
of diversion for the men in the pres
ent situation in France and the use of
books and magazines is being encour-
aged by officers everywhere as a
means of offering competition to the
wine shops and counteracting the ten
dency to gambling.

More Than A Million Cars

On the 18th day of December at
1.55 p. m. in the year 1915, the
Ford Motor Company cast the one
millionth Ford Model T Motor, the
famous power plant of the famous
Ford car. It marked great
achievement when 100000 motors
had been cast consecutively, with
out hairs breadth of change from
the original design.
On April 9th, at 1,30 p. m. in the
year 1919, the Ford Motor Com
pany cast the three millionth
Model T Motor, and it was dienti-
cally the same in every detail, with
out change of a hairs breadth
in any particular, as the first Ford
Model T Motor that was cast. B.
100000 of one piece of mechanism
cast, one after the other, without
a change, is certainly about as
strong evidence of perfection as it
would be possible to conceive. AL
ready now more than 100000
Ford cars in daily service, and
more than 100000 alone carrying
this famous Model T power plant
! A further pressing fact is that
there has not been a day in the
past three years when the Fore
Motor Company has not been more
than 100000 cars behind orders fol
immediate delivery, and the outpu
at the present time is in excess o.
5000 cars per day.

SOLDIERS MAY GET LAND

A bill introduced in Congress to
give each returned soldier a tract
of land for a farm, if passed, will
open up large acreage of land in
lower Sussex county for tillage
which at present is useless. The
tract is at present swamp, but if
properly drained would make sew
eral hundred thousand acres of
very rich land, all within a couple
of miles of we'll built roads and Of
railroad facilities. Those who have
introduced the bill will use the
swamp area in lower Delaware as
the first experiment.
