HIGH PRODUCING
COWS in MIDDLETOWN
ASSOCIATION
Report Of Tester Shows Wide
Spread Interest Among
Members

The average production for May of
the 369 cows in the Middletown Cow
Testing Association was 670 lbs. of
milk and 23.5 lbs. butter fat, accord
ing to the monthly report of the COW
tester, C. E. Cromis.
Thirty-seven cows made over 1900
lbs. of milk or 40 lbs. of fat. The
highest average herd is owned by Mr..
Olin Davis. His herd of seven cows
averaged 1919 lbs. of milk and 46.5
lbs. of fat for the month. This re-
cord was made on crimson clover pas
ture and two pounds of dairy feed per
day.
Following is the list of the ten
cows producing more than 140O lbs.
of milk or 4S lbs. fat for the month.
Country Life Korndyke, owned by
c. F. Myers, 1906 pounds of milk,
64.S pounds of butter fat; Una Maid
Ruble DeKol, Olin Davis, 1920 of
milk, 5S.2 butter fat; Maple Grove De-
Kol Beauty Korndyke, Mrs. M. jan
vier, 1896 of milk, 542 butter fat;
Julia Hengerveld Palmyra Fayne,
James Moore, 1912 of milk, 4S.4 but
ter fat; Big Spot, Jehu Alfree, 1880
OF milk, Alb butter fat; Retta Maple
crest Korndyke, James Moore, 1919
of milk, 4S.6 butter fat; Bessie Can
ary Korndyke, 1882 of milk, 40 of but
ter fat; Ace, H. f. Robinson, 1861 of
milk, 49 butter fat; Retta Henger-
weld Perfection, James Moore, 1880
of milk, 1872 Of butter fat; Mac, Olin
Davis, 1172 of milk, SOL butter fat.
The record of the highest cow for
the month, owned by Mr.. C. f. Mey-
ers, was made on rye pasture with
the addition of balanced grain mix
ture. This is an excellent example of
the advantage of sowing some good
last growing forage crop for early
spring and midsummer pasturage.
The fact that several members have
cows on the quality list shows that
the interest in the Association is
widespread and that the highest pro- !
ducing cows are not limited to one or
two members.
Several members of the Association
are having their herds tuberculin
tested under government supervision.

LEVY COURT HEARS
NEW TAX SYSTEM
EXPLAINED
Three Special Districts in
County to Collect Their
Own LAKES

County Superintendent Jump ap-
peared before the Levy Court yester-
day to explain the new school code
provisions relating to county taxes.
Newark, New Castle and Dupont
school districts will collect their own
taxes, but those for the other districts
will be collected by the county tax
collector. The capitation tax under
the new school law will not be less
than So nor more than Sc for each
male resident. The rate on property
will probably be about SOC on each
500 of assessment.
The teachers will be paid better
salaries, but they must be teachers of
higher grade. Local selections be-
cause Sallie is the daughter of Mr..
So-andSo will be tabooed under the
new law. The teaching term will be
$50 yads, regardless of vacation per-
iods. The rural schools in future will
take up the teaching of agriculture.
County Superintendent Jump was
IN Wilmington Saturday and express
ed the hope that all school clerks will
have their books audited by a commit
tee at the school meetings on neht
Saturday. While no commissioners
willsbe elected, it is deemed very ad-
visable to have the books audited.
Rural tax collectors expect a con-
siderable increase in salary on ac-
count of the law obliging them to COL
lect the school tax. This new work
will make their duties at least double.
The county tax rate is expected to be

NEW TRAIN SERVICE
 STARTS IN EUROPE
Through Trains Now Run. ming From Paris to
 Belgrade

Paris, April 15.-what is character ized as one of the most vital steps to- wards the speedy reconstruction of war-torn Europe is being taken this week in the inauguration of the through. transcontinental train ser vice between Paris, Belgrade and Bu- 'charest via Pontarlier, Milan. Triest. Agram and Vinkovce. This line wouli under any ordinary circumstances be a great boon to the traveller and to the business man, but now, on the eve of of the signing of peace, it assumes ar incalcuable importance to the welfare of many countries.
 The allied capitals will now be linked up once more by rapid service which will permit of easy communica- tions The slow sea route can be aban doned for the numerous governmental missions which will. play a great part in the reconstruction. In numerous other ways the new line will facilitate the process of rebuilding the fortunes of the allies.
 That this railway avoids Germany and undoubtedly will take away much of the trade of the German railways finds no adverse criticism in Paris. The French are quite content to see the railways of their late enemies lie dor mant for time. Whether the new al- lied line will ultimately become the great trade artery for the continent, replacing the German lines between the North sea ports and the east is matter of much discussion. There are arguments on both sides of the ques- tion. Certainly it's immediate effect Is

ing the lines near Benoit, I had occasion to see one of the worst cases of German waEton destruction There was beauti- ful chateau situated at Benoit and it was said that the furnishings were alone worth N,G00O0. In the basement was telephone exchange that was esti- mated at another $500, ,O00 The chateau had been the headquarters of a German general until we chased him out When the boche had gotten the range on it with light artillery they brought up some tremendously big guns and opened fire upon it. The building covered a city block and it only took eight direct hits to demolish it.
 The destruction of this chateau recalls a little incident that occurred in our company at the same time. Our kitchen was located about 800 yards from this building. When the Germans opened up on it with their big guns our cooks had Just completed the second batch of bis cults that we ever had in France. They had cooked biscuits enough so that every man in the company could have about three. When the boche started shelhng the cooks deserted their biscuits and a few braver souls stole them. There were only enough left for each man to have one-half biscuit.

 The new service will provids through trains de luxe between Paris and Belgrade three times each week, according to present plans. One train week will go through to Bucharest. Thus with good train service be- tween Paris and the English channel ports, England will again be brought into close touch with her eastern allies.
 As soon as possible the line will be extended to Constantinople and on to Athens. but the running of trains to these places now is impossible owing to destruction of railways during the war. It will take several months 10 repair the damage. In addition, roli- ing stock is very scarce. Even now it is necessary to make wide detour to get to Bucharest from Belgrade.
 While the transcontinentaI train service will be important for relief work and for traders who wish to visit the east to re-establish commercial re- lations, it Is believed that the steam ship traffic will mot be materially af- fected by the innovation. Goods will still continue to pass through the Med iterranean as of old.

DOCTORS PATIENT
 GAINS Y POUNDS Prominent Physician Con- tinues to Use Tanlac in Practice With Surpris-

Ono of the strongest and most con- vinclng evidences of the remarkable re- suits being accomplished by Tanlac throughout the country is the large num- Der of letters that are now being re celved daily from scores of well-known men and women who have been benefited by it's use
 Among the large number that have been received recently none are more inter esting than the following letter from pr. J. T. Edwards of Fayetteville, Ga. pr. Edwards, it will be remembered, re- gently gave Tanlac his unqualified in- dorsement in a public statement, and the testimonial published below was recently given him by one of his patients His letter follows just as it was written:

 Dear Sir:-I am enclosing you here with statement I have just received from Mir. T. M. McGough. He has sold out here, and is moving to Turin, Ga. He was here this morning, and came in to tell me what Tanlac had done for him. He says too much cannot be said about Tanlac. It certainly has cured him.
 "Respectfully,
 "J. T.NEDwARDS, M. D." MT. McGough's statement follows:
 II suffered from indigestion and could not eat anything but what would hurt me. Constipation gave me great deal of trouble also. My, symptoms were in- digestion, heartburn and gas on the stomach after eating My appetite was irregular. and my food failed to nourish me. This trouble caused me to get very poor-in fact I got so thin and weak I was hardly. able to go about

 There is a way of carrying out this advice, however. without expense; a discarded baby's high chair may be used for this purpose if it's back and arms are removed. Efficiency experts advise the covering of artists stools with denim to save the housek eeper's skirc from becoming shiny, and if the high chair-stool is covered in this way its origin will never be suspected.
