LUTHER CUBBAGE
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY

On Friday, October 21st, 1921, Lu-
ther F. Cubbage celebrated his seven
ty-eighth birthday anniversary at his
residence at MillwOod, two. miles
north from Milford, by the annual
dinner, which has been observed for
the past twenty-eight years. All the
relatives and a score of family friends
were present and congratulated him
on this additional year or a long and
well spent life. Mr.. Cubbage has
been a practical farmer in Milford
Hundred for the entire span of his
business life and at one time repre-
sented the district in the House of
Representatives at Dover, where he
was a popular member. For many
years he practically operated the pub
lie school near which he resided and
to the satisfaction of the people. OF
late years he has retired from any
active efforts, other than sufficient ac-
tivity to maintain his good health.
The personal relatives present were:
Walter Dill and family, Richard Cub
bage and family, Mrs. Jennie Short
and family, Miss Lulu Cubbage, of
Philadelphia, Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Thomas, Mrs. Joseph Thomas, Mr..
and Mrs. George E. Roach, Miss Hill,
the teacher of the Tub Mill Public
School and others. The menu served
was all of the real luxuries produced |
on a Delaware farm and included:
roast turkey, roast duck, roast guinea,
country cured ham, all the vegetables
that could be asked for and delicious
cakes, pies and real coffee, all of
which was followed by Mr.. Cubbage's /
special brand of cigars-the kind that
settles a big dinner for the folks who
get delight from smoking tobacco.

MILFORD GRANGE

Regular meeting next Saturday af-
ternoon at 2:30 in the lodge room of
the Owls. The item last week, stating
that the hall was rented by the
Grange was a mistake, as the Owls
most kindly offered their room, rent
free, to the Grangers, until such time
as larger, or permanent quarters
should be secured. This courtesy is
appreciated by all members of the
Grange.
The reports of various committees
on work of the Fair will occupy part
of the lecture hour, the remainder be-
ing to reports of the recent Pomona
by those who attended.
Among other pleasant incidents
connected with the Fair may be men
toned the presence of many out-of-
town visitors. One of these, Mr.. 3.
NJ Davis, of Wilmington, left with
the cashier a substantial donation to
the Grange fund, which is appreciated
by every local patron of husbandry.

WORK BEING RUSHED
ON new THEATRE and IT IS EXPECTED
TO BE OPEN BY XMAS.

J. A. Bader & Company, of Whining
ton, who have the contract for con-
structing the Plaza, Theatre in Mil
ford, have put a additional force OF
brick layers on the job and they are
making a good showing. The thea
tire, which has a frontage of approxi-
mately fifty feet on the Plaza, and a
depth of 40 feet, is the largest on
the peninsula south of Wilmington.
The seating capacity will hold 1900
persons. The stage is the largest in
the State. The building is being con-
structed of brick, steel, concrete and
tile. 1t will be fireproof in every re-
spect. The site on which the theatre
is being erected cost $4,000, and the
contracted price was about $4,000. In
addition to this it will cost about $780,
900 to equip the building.
Mr.. R. E. Lewis, of Middletown, is
the person responsible for bringing
the new playhouse to Milford. He
hopes to have the theatre open for
the Christmas holiday season. 1t is
the purpose of the management to
give first class motion pictures each
evening. Twice a week clean vaude-
Vile will be offered to the townspeO-
pie, and at frequent intervals good
plays and musical shows will also be
produced.
Milford has long needed just such
place. At the present time the town
has no public building where public
meetings or other gatherings of pub
lie nature can be held, with the ex-
ception of the State Armory. This is
not suitable for many of the gather
ings. The new theatre will be large
enough to handle the persons who de-
sire to attend these meetings. Milford
is fortunate in that the new theatre
will be opened in the near future.

La boratory of the United States de-

If the posts are TO be treated with
creosote or some other preservative,
the round post is preferable 70 the

ease with which the sapwood can be
treated. Experiments at the lab

Ventilated Crates Best
For Shipping Berries

WASHINGTON, May 13-One of
the most effective methods of caus-
ing fruits TO decay in transit is to
pack them in solid crates that afford
little or no ventilation. A few
years ago this was the manner in
which early strawberries were
shipped TO market. The result was
that large quantities of strawberries
arrived at market in bad condition,
and the monetary returns to the
growers were smaller than they
should have been.
But today. largely as a result of
the activities Of marketing special

TO MAKE ALFALFA
TESTS IN COUNTY
Common, Grimm and COssOck
Seeds to be SOwn Side by
Side for Comparisons.
BY L.. G. BIRD,
County Agricultural Agent.

With a tendency TO overproduc-
ton of the small grains and corn,
this appears to be the logical year
TO start alfalfa. Seed costs are.
lower than they have been for a
number of years and the quality is
good. There is no crop which will
net such returns on sandy and
gravel soils and at the same time
build them up and fit them later for
other crops as alfalfa.
There has been considerable I'M
certainty in minds of many farmers
as TO the relative value of common
alfalfa seed with the more hardy
grimm and alfalfa on the heavier
soils, which pull the plant out In
the winter time and kill out the
stands of common alfalfa. there is
no question as 10 the value of
Grimm and Cossock seed. The
soils seem TO maintain stands Of the
common seed without much injury.
However. even on these light soils
the Grimm has shown up 10 better
advantage than the common strains
of seed.
In order to get the comparison
directly before the farmers of St.
Joseph county. several alfalfa dem
onstrations will be made during the
present season, sowing side by side
common, Grimm and Cossock alfal-
IA ON both light and heavier soils.
This will be the most convincing
proof and will serve as a guide for
future seedlings OF this most valuable
legume.
Limestone can be laid down in
st. Joseph county in various forms.
either coarse Of finely ground. and
on 90 percent of our soils is an alb
solute necessity 10 a good stand OF
alfalfa. At least two tons TO the
acre should be used and a large
application is better. When by
drafted lime is substituted for the
ground limestone. care should be
taken 10 use enough Of the lime.
Contrary to the common conception
il requires two tons of hydrated lime
to equal three of ground limestone
finely ground The lime Of course
must oe sown after the blowing and
not turned 10 the bottom OF the fur
row.
Innoculation Of the seed Is a step
too often neglected. BY all means
alfalfa seed should be innoculated
mercial innOculation. Elimination OF
the innoculation may wreck the
whole stand.

girl who cursed her beauty have
brought 17-year-old Katherine 70
berlein TO incarceration in the
TOmbs.
Tears filed the deep brown eyes
and found their way down the pale
cheeks Of the slender, trembling
girl-cheeks soft and cool as winter
roses. The palest pink flecked the
almost pure white OF her young face.
There was no subtle play Of light IN
her dark eyes, nothing in her fair
features to betoken evil, nothing in
her voice that betrayed the siren.
Is II any wonder the guardians Of
