.FEw MILES" A BIG DISTANCE

A band of real gypsies, including
two dark-skinned men and several wO-
men and children, were brought to Do
yer on Monday by a Philadelphia dray-
man, en- route to SeafOrd. According
to the drayman, the leader of the band
made a bargain with him to carry him
to SeafOrd claiming it was but few
miles south of Wilmington. When
wilmington was reached the owner of
the truck asked how much farther was
Seaford, the gypsies' reply being "only
? few miles more"
When Dover was reached the driver,
finding he had driven So miles and
-
that SediUru was stiH - 80 10 iiiiiV'
further down the State, refused to
carry the load any further without
extra pay. The driver was willing to
make the continued trip to SeafOrd
for SO, but the gypsies refused, con-
sequently he drove them nearly a mile
and a half south of Dover, where he
dumpedIfhe whole crew out, and re-
turnedfO Philadelphia.

BAY PILOTS ARE BUSY

The forty-two pilots living in Lewes
forming the community familiarity
known as Pilot Town, on the beach
are working overtime these days in
getting liners and sailing vessels safe
ly to Philadelphia, and from there to
the Breakwater and out to sea. They
work in relays and by turn, taking a
steamer to Philadelphia and returning
by train to await their next assign
ment. Formerly pilots waited for a
few days to bring down steamer to
Lewes but now return at once. Their
work has increased to a large extent,
due to the additional merchantmen
placed in service since the war, and
the fact that New York dock facilities
are congested and steamers are being
diverted to Philadelphia.
There is a Pilots Association at
Lewes which assigns the work and
through which revenues are collected
from steamship companies. By the
laws of Delaware pilots fees are gaug-
ed by the steamers tonnage.
Pilots are seldom appointed from
the outside, the job being a hereditary
one, handed down from father to son.
There are young men in Lewes work
ing on smaller boats to become IA
miliar with Delaware waters later to
graduate after they have successfully
qualified for a pilots license.
A pilots pay is very lucrative, aver
aging from S4OO to $500 per month,
the revenues collected being pooled in
to one general fund, from which they
are paid.

mittee Of the society will meet in a

400. There are not sufficient hotel ac-
commodations and some of the dele
gates win either have to go to private
home or else return home each night.

ground for everything from broken
crockery to dead cats and garbage in
general, until recently the owners
gave notice to the public that the Gus
tom really would have to cease. And
now the unsightly spot is being clear
ed up and leveled so that it materially
widens the roadbed and will present
a moro attractive view to the railroad
traveller as well as be a more sanitary
region than heretofore.
This week Mrs. Margaret Gaffney,
who has resided in or near Milford.
for the past thirty years, removed
with her family to Philadelphia. The
good wishes of a host Of friends for
her prosperity follow her.
Wm. Lank of Lincoln has moved

BINDER TWINE

In the early spring John c. Green
secretary of the Sussex County Far
mers' Exchange, cooperating with
County Agent Vaughn. set out to inter
est all of the twelve producers asso-
Citations in pooling their orders for
binder twine so that enough could be
ordered to make a carload. The far
mers were very slow in placing their
orders. After receiving bids from
four manufacturers of binder twine,
the order was placed with Cooper,
Cordage. Company, Chicago, May Sth
for 25,O00 pounds. This car of twine
arrived in Georgetown last Friday
June 11th. avel by noon Saturday, ev-
erv bale was delivered or reshipped to
the county associations. The farmers
of Sussex county saved by buying
their twine together at least 4 cents
per pound, and twine would have prob
ably been more had it not been for
the organization.
This project shows the possibility
of collective buying and is a beginning
to the activities of the Sussex County
Farmers Exchange.
