Quick Aid Prevents Fire

1t is well to keep small fre-ex-
tinguisher convenient TO the kitchen
as first aid to possible fire. These
eXtinguishers are of great value when
the fire has first started. but are use
less after 1t has made Roadway. Just
as with first-aid kit, their value lies
in their being at your service at a mo-
ments notice.

Stanley short Gets siIHer TrOphy

Stanley Short Gets Silver Trophy
"In behalf of the Delaware Corn
Growers Association of 1920, I have
the honor and pleasure of presenting
this Challenge Trophy Cup to Stan
ley Short, of Cheswold, in recognition
of his winning the Annual State Junior
Corn Judging Contest, which was
held at the State Corn Show in New
ark during the Christmas holidays" "
With these simple words, w. V. Co.'S
den, president of the State Farm Bu-
reau Federation, but acting as form
er president of the Delaware Corn
Growers Association, presented the
Associations fine silver cup in the
presence of the executive committee
of the Kent County Farm Bureau at
Dover on Monday last.
While still holding his splendid
award, Stanley expressed his appre-
citation for the recognition that had
come to him and pledged his continu-
ed support of the State Corn Growers
program.
The cup stands about 12 inches high
and has the following words engraved
on one side:
Delaware Corn Growers Association
Challenge Trophy Cup
On the other side of the cup are
these words:
For Boys Juding Contest
192O-Stanley Short, CheswOld, Del.
According to the plan of the .Asso-
citation, the cup will remain the prop
erty of the State judging champion
only so long as he continues to main
tain first place in the annual judging
contest. No doubt a number of boys
under 81 years of age will contest for
the privilege of holding this Challenge
Trophy Cup for next year.
Every boy who contested for this
cup feels that after all Stanley Short
is the Junior Corn King of Delaware.
He has won the Corn Club Shows and
large number of the first premiums
in the open classes of the State Corn
Show for the last two years. He has
won two scholarships to the Junior
Farmers Short Course at Delaware
College, and has represented the State
twice on club teams at the Eastern
Exposition, where his team won first |
place in judging corn in 1919.
In the meantime, for the last two |
years he has made a systematic study |
Of agriculture in the Dover high
school and has developed a fine herd
of pure bred hogs, to which he has
learned to feed his corn in balanced
ration.
Stanley is on his fourth year as a
of the Boys and Girls Clubs
of Kent county and is now the State
Chairman of the Achievement Cham
pions of Delaware.
He is graduating this June from the
Dover high school with countrywide
reputation as a breeder of good seed
corn and fine pure bred Poland-China
hogs. He plans to continue his stud
les in the University Of Delaware,
College Of Agriculture. The greatest
achievement of Stanley Short is the
that his success has been
to other country boys and girls.
