MAN ATTACKED And BEATEN
GROVER C. MOORE HELD UP ON NORTH
WALNUT STREET.

While he was driving his team on
North Walnut street late last Satur-
day evening Grover c. Moore, who
resides near Postle's School, was at
tackled and badly beaten. According
to persons who witnessed the holdup.
two men were apparently waiting for
Moore to leave town. When he came
TO the intersection of Fourth and
Walnut streets one of the men jump
ed on the back of his carriage and
commenced to beat him. The screams
of the beaten man brought out num-
Der of persons who reside in that
neighborhood. When near the Kent
Garage the man jumped from the car
riage and disappeared. Moore came to
Milford on Monday and swore out a
warrant for Harry Ellingsworth,
stating that he recognized him as the
man who beat him. Ellingsworth is
employed in Wilmington. A warrant
was sent to Chief of Police Black of
that city with the request that Ell
be arrested and held for
the Milford authorities. If he is cap
tured he will be charged with assault
and battery with intent to rob.
Ellingsworth was arrested in Will
mington on Wednesday and brought
to Milford. He was given a hearing
that evening and held under $500 bail
for court. Failing to secure bail he
was taken to Dover Jail to await trial.

Despite the fact that Delawareans
like to boast of their natural thrift

sury Department, Washington, shows
that of 81 States and Insular pos
sessions, Delaware stands 80 in the
number of bank deposit accounts.
The statement shows that by states,
on May "a, 1920, Wyoming stood first
in the number of accounts in proper
ton to population in all national
banks, with 994 depositors per 1000
OF population. Montana was next with
349. The twelve states whose nation

STATE FAIR TO BE
BIGGER AND BETTER

Bigger and better than ever be-
fore. is the usual way that a circus
press agent will describe the attrac-
tions of the concern by which he is
employed, irregardless of the truth
because a circus comes to town but
for one day each year. But when de-
tails of the Delaware State Fair are
described as bigger and better for
this coming September's exhibit
there is no misrepresentation, accord
ing to reports made by State Fair Of
ficials. The Fair is not one day af-
fair but continues from September 6
to 10 inclusive.
S. Hope Wilson, Jr, secretary of
the Fair Association reports twice as
many applications for space this year
than last year.
All of the spaces for the automo-
bile section have been taken except
one which is weeks ahead of last
years record.
All but four of the spaces in the
mercantile section have been rented
and this is unusual for six weeks be-
fore the Fair opens.
Many more concessions have taken
space. in fact all that there is room
for and which are suited for the Fair.
The space to be devoted to the dem
onstration of farm tractors and farm
machinery will be tripled this year
and this will prove one of the newest
and most interesting exhibits for the
farmers.
The Delaware College exhibit has
Outgrown its quarters and in addi-
tion to the mental exhibit, there will
be a supplemental exhibit in a can
vass tent adjacent to the building.
The quarters for the cattle exhibit
have been outgrown and some tenn
pOrary measures will have to be TAX
en- this year to accommodate all the
choice COWS and bulls that owners
desire to exhibit.
1t is doubtful if the 400 stalls foC
the horses will be sufficient to ac-
commodate all the speedy trOtters
and PAGERS that will be brought to
the Fair for the races which take
place every afternoon and evening
of the Fair
These are but a few of the many
details of the State Fair that indi-
cate its steady growth. year by year.
The directors of the Fair realize that
to stand still means to go backward
and every new idea concerning fairs
that is advanced during the year. is
seriously considered and if found
suitable put in service.

WANT MILK COWS TESTED
MILK PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION AND
HEALTH OFFICIALS AGREE ON THIS.

A committee of the Milk Producers
Association of Delaware. represent
ing about 400 members. appeared be-
fore officers of the State Board of
Health. at Dover, Thursday of last
week, to discuss the regulation re-
quiring tuberculin testing of dairy
herds from which raw milk supplies
are obtained. After thoroughly going
over all details of this order, togeth-
er with the details of the law passed
at the special session of the Legisla-
ture granting compensation 10 owners
of reacting cows, it was unanimously
decided by the committee and health
officials that all dairy cattle in the
State should be tested in order that
tuberculosis may be eliminated from
the State. 1t was also decided to re-
suest the State Livestock Sanitary
Board to pass a resolution making
such tests compulsory of all herds
throughout the State, as far as funds
are available for making prompt
payment for reacting animals.
Emphasis was laid upon the fact
that all milk shipped into this state
must comply with the requirements
of the laws above referred to.
Those present were: James H.
Reynolds, president of the State Pro-
ducers Association; W. Truxton

FINE CROP OF SWEET CORN

Last summer Wilbur Hammond
went to Connecticut to visit a rela-
tive of his wifes family, who makes
a speciality of growing seed for a
large seed house in New York City.
He especially was attracted to fine
ouaIitv of sweet corn which they
were using at that time, which he
was told was an improved variety OF
the Evergreen family of sweet corn.
The favor was delicious, while the
size of the ears ranged from twelve
to fourteen inches on cobs medium
thick and deep grains which were eX-
Se2dine sweet. The corn was a rank
grower, and in appearance, very sim
liar to the Stowells Evergreen variety.
MIR. Hammond was permitted to have
a half-bushel of the corn when it ma
tured for seed, and this he planted
this past spring on his farm near
Milford in Sussex county, and from 1t
he is now marketing some OF the
finest eating sweet corn Milford has
enjoyed for a long time. The ears
range from ten to fourteen inches in
length of well filled plats of corn on
a medium sized cob, and the flavor IS
certainly fine. We speak whereof we
know, forthis corn has supplied the
writer's table ever since it has been
coming to market this season.
Mr.. Hammond brought some of the
first home ripened canteloupes to the
Milford markets last week. He has
a farm which is well adapted to the
growing of all kinds of nut bearing
trees, fruits and vegetables, and
takes pride in having fine quality in
stead of large quantity.

TINUE TEN DAYS LONGER

Tyndall's Camp. located on the
road leading from Georgetown to Sea

had been such an interest in beauti-
flying the grounds this year it was
decided without a single objection to
continue the camp ten days longer.
The attendance has been greater this
year than in a number of years. Ac-
cOrding to gate receipts the attend
ance on Sunday exceeded two thOus-
and persons. There has been very
interesting program during the past
week and promises 10 be no less in
teresting during the coming week.

RECITAL FOR MUSIC LOVERS

A recital of much interest is to be
given by Pauline Abbott Browning,
soprano, and Mortimer Browning, pi-
anists, at the home of S. G. Abbott
Tuesday evening, August oath, under
the auspices of the choir of Christ
Church.
Neither artist needs an introduc-
tion to Milford, both having appeared
here before with great success. Mrs.
Browning has a lovely voice and de-
lightful personality and is chiefly a
singer of songs that have appeared in
oratores and received much praise.
She has appeared in recital in the
south and has sung in many concerts
before the Enterprise Club of North
Carolina, the largest music club in
the state. The recent achievement Of
Mr.. Browning is the winning of the
scholarship at the Chicago Musical
College, given by Percy Granger, one
of the worlds most renowned plan
lists. Mr.BrOwning was selected first
among many pianists from all over
the country and Canada. Mr.. Granger
says of him. Mortimer Browning,
who won the last scholarship given
by me is a fine musician and fully
typed pianist. He is fitted as a SOLO
ist to solve any music task with
great success"
The program will be announced la
ter, but many new songs will be the
feature of Mrs. Browning's portion,
while the modern English and Amer
lean work will be presented by Mr..

BAKER SEES GREAT
NEED FOR DEEP CANAL
SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER URGES I'M
PR0VEMENTS OF CHESAPEAKE AND
DELAWARE WATERWAY
FOR NATIONAL REASONS
He WILL PRESENT THE MATTER TO CON-
GRESS SHOWING THE NECESSITY OF
A GREATER DEPTH.

Returning to Washington this week
after an inspection of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal, Secretary Of
War Baker advised commercial bodies
and citizens of the cities and states
directly concerned to prepare data
for submission to Congress showing
this inland waterway.
The Importance of a deeper canal,
Secretary Baker said. was great,
both from the standpoint of COM
merce and national defense. Mr.. Bak-
er said his inspection was primarily
to enable him to give Congress an in
telligent recommendation on the pro-
posed canal improvement.
Leaving Washington several days
ago, Secretary Baker said he proceed
ed down the Chesapeake bay and up
the Delaware bay and river to Phil
adelphia, returning by way of the
canal to Baltimore.
Il went mainly to inspect the Ches-
apeake and Delaware canal said Mr.
Baker, 'in which l am interested as
project both of inland defense and
for commerce. The present draught
of the canal is about nine feet, and
there is a movement on to give it a
draught of u feet. BY all means it
should be a ship canal. because it is
unusual TO find an inland waterway
connecting two such great cities as
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Il should think the Chambers Of
Commerce of Baltimore and Philadel-
phia might present strong argu-
ments to the next Congress in favor
of greater depth, hope they will
do So
THE object of my trip through the
canal was that l might be enabled to
present the canal project intelligently
to Congress. I am much impressed
with the necessity of a deeper canal,
because not only will this promote
the commerce of Philadelphia and
Baltimore and adjacent territory. but
inland waterways such as this are i'm
portant from the view point of ma
tional defense. / hope from time to
time to inspect other inland water
ways"
Secretary Baker said the deepening
of the Chesapeake and Delaware can
al would not be difficult, because for
most of the distance the earth fox-
nation is such that it will be easy
to dredge. The program, he explain-
ed. is TO convert the present canal
into a sea-level canal. which would
give a depth of u feet and permit
its use by larger vessels.

SCHOOL DISTRICT CHANGES

Prominent citizens and taxpayers
of the Clayton. Alley, Big Oak and
Brenford School districts, Kent coun-
ty, included in the consolidated spec
ial school district, of Smyrna, appear
ed before Kent County School Board.
on Monday, and asked that they be
separated from the Smyrna Special
district. The Clayton representatives,
had been before the State Board of
Education, asking for a separation of
their school, which was granted, pro-
vided the county board would ac-
quiese in the request. This the County
Board did, Monday.
By the separation from Smyrna
special district. the Clayton schools
will now be under the County Boards
jurisdiction and will assume the
county rate of 95 cents rather than
the 6S cents rate of Smyrna. It will
also have an eighth grade and as
much higher as possible.
While the Big Oak and Brenford did
not have their request granted for a
separation from Smyrna, the taxpay-
ers in those two districts intend to
petition further for separation
