The war has leftN 3 100000 children
in central Europe helpless. Many will
perish if food is not given to last un-
til the next harvest. It is estimated
that it will require at least $23 ,OOO,-

alone. Others almost as old can not
yet stand on their feet. Their arms,
and legs, and spines, and chests are
twisted and warped. The flesh and
skin are shriveled on their bones. It
is surprising that life can still exist
there. If they can have food they will
gradually regain their health and
strength, but with most of them it
is a question Of now or never. Star
vation and tuberculosis WILL not wait.
I'm Poland alone a million five hun

countries of central and southeastern
Europe, two millions more are in dire $.

DEFER ACTION
UPON SPECIAL
FUND MEASURE
House Appropriations Commit.
tee Waits foI Introduction
Of Budget Report

The appropriations committee of the
house last night voted to defer action
on the bill appropriating $4,000 to
the attorney general as additional
money to July 1, 1921, until the report
of the budget committee was received
This nation was made by Kelly of
Logan, Independent, and seconded by
Maddox of Benson, Lacquer.
The discussion on the bill was spir.
ited.~ Independents led by Johnson Of
Pembina, and Kelly, explained how,
the action of the special session in
withdrawing an appropriation already
made for the-expenses of a state de-
partment during biennial period was
unwarranted and had never been done
before and that therefore they did
not believe that it showed good grace
for the present attorney general to
ask for more money.
Maddox of Benson, admitted that
the attorney general now had at his
disposal over $20,000

MILFORD SCHOOL ELECTIONS
WILL BE HELD JUNE IS

The Annual School Elections in Del
aware will be held on Saturday, June
18th to elect members of the various
boards to conduct the schools for the
next school year, commencing with
July 1st, 1921. The new school laws
require that a candidate for a school
board in Delaware, shall file his name
with the Clerk-of-the-Peace in the
county where the school is located,
signed by at least five bona fide tax
ables of the district in which he is a
candidate-and this must be done fif-
teen days before the school election is
held. AS the serving on school
board is without pay or reward of any
kind, there is not generally any rush
for these positions.
The question of conducting the
schools upon the, money appropriated
by the legislature, is seriously affect
ing the future of the schools in Della
ware, which will have to be looked
after by the people of the special dis
tricts themselves-as there will be a
for high standard of schools,
which can only be maintained by ad-
money-which will have to be
voted by the people themselves before
it will be available.

COOLsPRNG GRANGE MEETING

The members of COolspring Grange
held the weekly session last Friday
evening with very large attendance.
The lecturer, Mrs. Charles I. JOsephs,
presented q program of interest as
well as instructive, which opened
with song by the members.
Miss Delema Dodd gave a recitation
which was well received as a well
come.
"Why Betty Didn't Laugh" was also
the topic of a recitation delivered by
Charlotte Joseph that was also well
received.
"The Lost DolP by Dorothy Dodd
was also very pleasingly rendered.
The topic for discussion for the ev-
ening was, What would you say to
a man of thirty-two years, who was
on the verge of bankruptcy and saw
no prospect of getting any money for
his crOps-Who was also discouraged
and ready to give up the effort" The
leaders on each side of the subject
were Edward T. Vaughn and Harry
JOsephs. Each made telling argu-
ments and did themselves credit in
the worth of their arguments of ad-
vice to the discouraged young farmer.
Their solutions of the situation were
optimistic and, after all, that is the
proper way to look upon the problems
Of business as well as of all matters
touching the welfare of the human
race.

PEA CANNERIES ARE
NOW IN OPERATION

This week the canneries of this part
of Delaware have been working on the
pea crop, which has always been a
large factor in the receipts from farm
and truck producing. The late freeze
in April ruined many fields and they
are almost a total loss-while other
fields which We're planted several
weeks later, are producing average
and even good crops. The average
yield per acre of the entire crop this
season, will be less than half of the
average of the past five years.
John Naylor, who last season got
more than one thousand dollars from
his pea crop, on the same acreage this
year, will not get enough to pay for
the seed sown.
Frank Salavan, who has always
found the pea crop profitable, has not
received sufficient to pay the cost of
the seed peas by half, and the phos-
phate an dlabor is total loss.
A few growers have got yields
which are encouraging for this sea-
son.
The canneries will probably wind
the entire season on peas up this COM
ing week.

WANT HIGHWAYS
THROUGH TOWNS
NO FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR SUCH ROAD

WAY COMMISSION SAYS.
PROVIDE FOR CITIZEN POLICE
DELEGATIONS FROM GEORGETOWN AND
LAUREL APPEARED BEFORE The
COMMISSION IN DOVER.

At a meeting of the State Highway
Commission at Dover. on Tuesday
with all the members present with
the exception of General T. c. dupont,
several delegations appeared before
the Commission in the interest of
roads to be constructed through GER
tain towns in Sussex county. From
Georgetown there was a delegation
composed of DR.. John H. Hammond,
Andrew Marvel, Robert G.. Houston
and Mr.. Hilyard asking that the roau
be built through that town. No ac-
ton was taken as it is stated there
is no money available for such road
construction.
From Laurel there was a delegation
including Representative Otwell and
former Representative Hastings, Har-
ry FOoks and Irving Culver, asking
that road be constructed through
that town, the route to be selected by
the Highway Department. No action
was taken on this request.
The Piel Construction Company ap-
peared before the board relative to
excess freight they were compelled to
pay for road material. The commits
sion after hearing their appeal decid-
ed there was nothing they could do
in the matter. An effort was made
at the closing day of the recent leg
islature to pass a bill allowing the
highway department to refund excess
freight, but the bill was not passed.
1t was practically decided to pro-
vide for citizen police, such police to
serve without pay and having juris-
dictiOn only on the State Highway.

MILFORD GRANGE

AAbout two hundred Changers and
their. families met at the hall last
Saturday evening and greatly enjoyed
the Memorial exercises. Eighteen
veterans of the Civil war were the
hOnored guests of the Grange. The
program was of a patriotic and rem
iniscent nature and contained several
special features. One of these was
music on the fife, given by Mr.. jack
son during the campfire scene. EV-
eTyOne enjoyed the stirring notes.
Others were the fine Civil War pic
lures and the illustrated song. Music,
both by the orchestra and the audi
ence, was spirited and appropriate.
During the summer a business and
social meeting will be held in the hall
on the first Saturday evening of each
month, and field meeting at the
home of some one of the members
on the third Saturday afternoon.
There will be picnic at MillwoOd
on July Fourth.
The June business meeting next
Saturday evening at 7.3O. There will
be roll call to which each. member
will respond with a memory gem or
a story. Little Miss Cupid will ap-
pear with a message for Grangers.
Roland Peet will give reading
and Miss Grace Meeker a musical Sc
lection. The scholarship question
may come up for discussion, so be
and ready to give your ideas
about it.

TWO CHILDREN SET FIRE
TO BED, BURN TO DEATH

Left alone while the mother had
gone to see sister three miles away
and the father was in a field at work
late Monday afternoon, Rodney and
Joseph, aged 4 and respectively,
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Calhoun, two
miles from Harbeson, procured a can
of oil, saturated bed and set fire to
it.
Both children were suffocated be-
fore help could arrive. The father,
seeing smoke issuing from the build
ing, rushed to the house and found
the children lying a short distance
from the burned bed. Life was not
extinct, but death followed within
short time.
AS the windows and doors were
closed it is believed the children were
overcome by the excessive heat and
suffOcated by the smoke. Their hands
were burned, evidently in efforts to
extinguish the fire, but otherwise
their bodies showed no signs of COM
ing in contact with the blaze.

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES
REV. JACOBS in AVENUE M. E. CHURCH
STIRS LARGE AUDIENCE.

Avenue M. E. Church was deeply
stirred on Sunday morning when Mr..
Jacobs made an eloquent appeal to
the patriotism of our American cit
iezns, as he carried his hearers back
to the period of colonial bondage to
those terrible days of the sixties; to
Spanish American conflict; to the
carnage and tragedy of the great
World Wary
A tribute of reverence was paid to
the three lads of Milford who made
the supreme sacrifice.
A picture of the Romange Gene
terry, where $4,000 American soldiers
sleep, made lasting impression up
one and all.
The evening service was a beauti-
full demonstration by Junior League
and directed by Mrs. Oliver Balsley.
Then came views of Gettysburg, the
best and the finest pictures of the
Blue and the Gray.
Awake, America the fair,
Be serious every heart
Our young manhood gave it's all,
Citizens do thy part.
Awake, America the fair,
Obey the commandments this day
Trust in the God of nations,
Hold up clean hands and pray.
Awake, America the fair,
Jerusalem rises or falls
By your faith and conservation
Are ye building her walls.
