FATHER OF "a CHILDREN
GETS MANY MESSAGES

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 9-Since wide
publicity was given to the fact that
Reuben Bland of Robersonville, Beau
fort County, was the proud father of
thirty-four children he and Mrs. Bland
have been deluged with letters from
persons all over the United States and
Candada.
The letters are from both women
and men. A man in Ohio wrote:
81 read the story about your large
family aloud to my wife. There's a
man who ought to be given a medal
told her. There's a man who ought
to be hanged she retorted.'
A writer in Oregon sent this:
Reuben, Reuben, 1 am thinking
You are quite nifty man.
To your health I am drinking;
You have done what few men can"
From Navarro, Ohio, Mr.. Bland re-
ceived this:
"I'm the father of eight children
and have an awful time keeping
them in food and clothing. I'm wor-
ried a lot, but since reading about
your big family, realize that I'm
lucky guy"

MOBILES
FOR FIRE ENGINES

Starting a movement to standard
ize all nozzle connections for fire hose,
representatives from all the fire COM
panies in Sussex county met in
Georgetown last week and determin-
ed to form a county firemen's asso-
citation. Another meeting is to be held
in Milford, where arrangements will
be made for each company from all
towns in lower Delaware to use the
same kind of hose and the same kind
of connections. The recent fires in
Lewes, Millsboro and Georgetown, at
which firemen from other towns were
called upon to help, revealed that the
hope of some of the companies would
not fit the fire-plugs of other towns.
With concrete roads over which the
fire trucks from other towns can make
fast time and with universal couplings
firemen of the county could concen-
trate on fighting any fire that might
break out in the county in less than
a half hours time.

first. 1t has been for many years a
custom of the Grange to hold an an
nual all-day-reunion and family din
ner, and this year these features had
an added interest in the ceremonies
incident to installing the new officers
for 1921, and in the burning of the
mortgage upon the Grange property.
Milford Grange was organized in
April, 1874, with 80 charter members,
of whom but two, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Barker, now remain upon the roll.
The rest have passed beyond, or re-
moved to new locations.
In these AT years the Grange has
had but three homes. The first in the
room now occupied by the Davis Meat
Market; the second in the rooms above
Mr.. Draper Davis office, and the pres
ent home, purchased in 1912.
The heavy debt incurred has been
discharged at cost of great effort
and much self-denial. A good share
of the success of these efforts has
been due to the unfailing support of
the people of Milford, who have pat
ronized and encouraged all public en-
tertainments, suppers and fairs.
Today, the Grange has member
ship of 245, owns it's own home, is
entirely free from debt and is in ex-
cellent financial condition.
The program for the meeting on
New Years day was most enjoyable.
In the morning the officers were in
stalled by Bro. Edward A. Evans of
assisted by Sister Hester
Bunstein. At noon a bountiful dinner
was served, followed in the afternoon
by fine program. A splendid address
was given by DR.. Richard Watson
Cooper of Newark, with Delaware"
as a subject. Miss Edna Barker read
4 most entertaining history of Mil
'ord Grange and vocal and instrument
al music was rendered by various
as this Grange is well sup
Piled with good talent.
The ceremony of burning the mort
gage was conducted by DR.. R. K.
Mr.. Charles Barker as
he oldest surviving charter member,
the match, afterward giving
| short talk on fraternal affairs.
Milford Grange is now preparing to
20 forward toward better things and
higher ideals.
