MONEY FOR DOVER HOSPITAL.
Frank E. Griffenberg Leaves a Be-
quest For Establishment of Place
Fund to Reach Over S1O.OOO

By the will of Frank f. Griffen-
berg, of Philadelphia, formerly of
Dover, who died in Philadelphia in
1918, Dover will receive a substantial
sum for the establishment of a hos
pital. The provisions of the will
state that the residue of the estate
after certain bequests, shall be given
to hospital for Dover. While the
exact amount of money is not vet
known, the estate not having been
fully settled, it has been variouslv
estimated at between $4,000 and
$4,000. Mr.. Griffenberg was a
brother of Mrs. H. P. Fennimore, of
Dover. While several attempts have
been made for years, through acts of
the General Assembly for a State ap-
preparation for a hospital at Dover,
on condition that a certain sum of
money should first be raised by the
citizens, nothing has ever been done
and the town has been deprived of an
institution of that kind. With the
prospective legacy in view the hos
pital will, no doubt, in time become a
fact.

ANOTHER STORY FROM SUSSEX.
Greenwood Woman Loses a Diamond
Ring-FOund In Rats Nest.

Several years ago a diamond ring
owned by Mrs. Purdy Ingram. of
near Greenwood disappeared after
she had laid it down to wash her
hands. Wednesday workingmen who
were tearing out the old kitchen of
the Ingram home to build a new
one found the ring, where rats had
probably dragged it between the
walls. Following the loss of the ring
Mrs. Ingram suspected a negro girl
who was working for her and i'm
mediately discarghed her although
she could not get a confession from
her. Wednesday when the carpen-
ters tore out the old wall they found
a rats nest and in it the ring. Mrs.
Ingram was delighted and is now
anxious to get the address of the
cOlored girl so that she can send her
a present and allow for her unjust
suspicious.

Growers of Delaware, New Jersey

With the National Gamers Asso-
citation meeting in Cleveland, o., this
week, organized tomato growers in
Delaware, Maryland and New Jer-
sey expect a showdown soon on con-
tract prices for next seasons crop.
All five counties in South Jersey, in
cluding Cumberland, Salem, Glouces-
ter, Camden and Burlington, have
completed the reorganization of their
county tomato growers associations.
Leaders of the federation, compris-
ing the officers of the various county
associations, say that the Gamers
have usually followed the practice of
announcing contract prices soon after
the annual convention. The attitude
of the National Gamers Association
is expected to have considerable ef-
feet upon the situation although the
tomato growers here have to deal di-
rectly with the Tm-State Gamers As
sOciation, which takes in the big cam

Novel Experience on the Ice Covered

The snow and sleet of the past week
which transformed the eleven-mile
stretch of concrete State highway be-

The new road is level for the most
part and with many long straight
away stretches. The icy surface was

STONE ROAD FROM HERE TO

MARYLAND TO EXTEND ROAD
FROM GOLDSBORO THIS YEAR
NOW Folks of Smyrna-C Clayton Ken
ton Districts Want to See Della
ware Connect With This Highway

Many Smyrna Clayton folks. es-
peclally owners of touring cars. have
been anxious to see the main high
ways OF bOulevards of Delaware
joined up to the good roads of Mary
land. A step has been taken in this
direction by the State Highway Com
mission of Maryland, and if their pro-
gram is carried out the stone road at
GoldsbOrOugh will be built toward
Marydel. If Delaware will build a
stone road from the dupont Boule-
ward to Kenton, Hartly and Marydel,
it will be possible to motor over stone
or cement roads to most of the i'm
portant towns on the Eastern shore.
The Maryland Commission last week
recommended link of five-eights of
mile through Denton, Md, complet-
ing the State road through the town.
Two miles of the road between Den
ton and Hillsboro, Md. Three-fourths
of mile in Greensboro, Md. to the
railway station from Ridgely, Md,
toward Baltimore Corner, one and a
half miles, from GoldsborO, Md, to-
ward Marydel, Md, one and a half
miles, two miles completing the road
through FOwling creek toward Pres
ton, Md, and one and a half miles
out of fredericksburg, Md. In Della
ware work is progressing. Down in
Sussex there is a clash on over the
route of TIE Boulevard, and to ex-
press their views as to the feasibility
of two routes proposed by the State
Highway Department, more than
three hundred enthusiastic farmers
and good roads advocates assembled
in the William H. Fox Theatre, at
Milton, Tuesday afternoon, despite
inclement weather conditions, and lis
tened to discussions by men from
Milford, Prime Hook Neck section
and Milton relative to two routes
that have been surveyed from Mil
ford to Lewes and Rehoboth. Dele
cations representing Milford and
Prime Hook Neck advocated the line
that has been. surveyed from Milford
across NAPLES Mill, Brick Granary,
Draw Bridge, Red Mill, into Lewes
and Rehoboth, while the citizens of
Milton advocated the new road pass
ing just out of the town by way of
Harbeson to connect the Georgetown
Lewes Highway, which is to be con-
structed this year. The delegations
from the northern section of the
county endeavored to show that if
the route was adopted which passes
through their section it would bene-
fit more people. Residents of Milton
argued that if that line was adopted
the town would be thrown more than
three miles away from the road, and
that it would not serve as many peo-
pie, since Milton alone has a popula-
tion of more than 1000. Four men,
bers of the State Highway Commits
siOn-Governor John G. Townsend,
General Z. Coleman DUPONT, Walter
o. HOgecker and Joseph E. Holland
were present and listened to the dis
cussion.
