BUSINESS AND BETTY"

Rehearsals for the new Alumni AS
sociation production of the Milford
high school are progressing extreme
ly well.
Mrs. William M. Pierce, who is di
recting the musical comedy, is highly
pleased with the talent she has fOunC
for the cast and chorus, and predicts
as fine and finished a performance Of
the play as she has ever presented in
this successful play.
The children's choruses will be a
joy to the spectators, they work SO
spontaneously and so naturally, and
sing so well. The high school chorus
of "Rubes", Mrs. Pierce says will be
one of the best things in the produc-
tion, and the cast fit their various
roles as tho they had been written for
them. The following is the cast. The
production is scheduled for the End
and 3rd of March:
Betty Carey, charming young wild
ow whose intuition is her fortune
Mrs. J. B. Warner.
Jane Rowland, who attempts to CEN
sor Betty's conduct and finances, Mrs.
Herman Johnson.
Matte Dallas, whose cleVerneSS is
of the unobjectionable variety-Miss
Helen Barrett.
Beatrice Holmes, who "brightens the
corner Florence Gillis.
Kitty Delafield, complacent, but
sweet-Miss Irma Pierce.
Flo Betterton, another friend of
Betty's and Jane's-Miss Mildred
Griffith.
Dick Kingston, susceptible to Bet
ty and advertising Carlisle Collins.
Jim Telford, who believes that ad-
vertising pays-William Nutter.
Roger Arnold, a preoccupied busi-
ness man-Theodore Hudson.
Johnny Forbes, who has a faculty
for appearing at right and wrong
moments-James Pettyjohn.
Mr.. Coppins, shrewd old farmer
Harry Pierce.
Johnson, colored and obliging-
ward Evans.
The Bellboy, who fixes things
Johnny Jacobs.

LOST OUT ON BIDDING
FOR SCHOOL BUILDING

The local builders of Milford, JOS
eph Rogers and William s. Shock
ley, each bidded for the erection of
three public schools to be built by the
State Auxiliary for Public Schools,
which are to built this spring for the
colored people in Kent county. One
of these schools was that to be built
at John Wesley District, near Fred
erica. The two bidders from Milford
were within just a few dollars of each
other in their totals on each school
building operation; but, Mr.. Newton,
a builder from Dover, was the lowest
bidder on the entire three, collectively
and individually-so the work of
building three colored school build
ings of brick, each single rooms struc-
lures, went to him. The total amount
was little under thirty thousand
dollars for the three buildings-alI of
which must be completed by next
June. Mr.. Newton, probably, took as
a basis lower rate of wages for his
mechanics as well as for the mater
ials, as he was about one thousand
dollars lower on each structure then
the next lower bidders.

S5c ADVERTISEMENT IN
CHRONICLE MAKES $500 SALE

George B. Hynson, formerly a res
ident of Milford, but now resident
of Philadelphia, where he is engaged
in the printing and general advertis-
ing business, recently inserted an ad-
vertisement offering a farm for sale
in the Classified Columns of the Mil
ford Chronicle. Last Saturday, while
in Milford, Mr.. Hynson came to the
Chronicle Office to tell us personally
his high opinion of the advertising
value of this paper. He stated that
the advertisement in question cost
him thirty-five cents, and that the
day following the publication of the
Chronicle he was approached by man
in Broad Street Station, Philadelphia,
who had read the advertisement and
who bought the farm. He received
$3500.00 for the farm. Mr.. Hynson
states that he did not know the man
previous to having come into con-
tact with him through the ad in the
Chronicle.
What the Chronicle has done for
Mr.. Hynson, we are doing. each issue
for other advertisers. Let us put you
in touch with prospective customer
if you have anything to sell.

TAXATION PIVOT
OF SCHOOL LAW
TALK OF CREATING::SPECIAL DEPART
MENT TO COLLECT MONEY LEVIED
UNDER PROPOSED new LAW.
SUGGEST TAX COMMISSIONER
STATE TREASURER DOES NOT WANT TO
GATHER THE MONEY If SOME
OTHER WAY CAN BE PROVIDED.

The taxation scheme is the pivot on
which the school legislation will prob
ably move for sometime. 1t has be-
come known that the State Treasurer
is loath to collect the tax that will be
levied if some other means of getting
this money can be devised. This has
led to talk at the creation of spec
ial department or commission that
would be charged with the duty of col
lecting all taxes that might be prOvid-
ed in the proposed school act.
Representative Clark and other
members of the House educational
committee conferred for sometime
with Luther H. Gulick, the tax expert.
Later members of the Citizens Com
mittee appeared before the House in
connection with the taxation question.
Colonel Houston, stated that a
skeleton bill has been prepared pro-
viding for a corporation income tax
and a personal income tax. He said
the matter that worried the committee
most at this time was not the tax, but
the best method of collecting it. Mr..
Gulick had reported that in most
states where tax laws were best car
El6u OuL RION40AOA was uctuO AOI ShC
collection by tax commission or
some other body other than state Of
f1cers.
Mr.. Houston said that the State
Treasurer had been consulted and
that he did not want to collect the
tax if any other provision could be
made and that the position Of the
committee was that it did not want to
set up any other Office for the collec-'
ton of the tax unless the legislature
was consulted. He said that in his
opinion the tax law as talked of may
provide more money than the state is
now getting.
DR.. R. W. Cooper, another member
of the Citizens also explained that
the question had come up as to what
sort of an organization to form for
the collection of the taxes to be levied
under the bill.
After these explanations the House
did not request any further informa-
tion and the committee retired to con-
tinue it's work on the tax feature of
the school bill, in cooperation with
the expert.
Milford chronicle., 1921-02-11
NEW CENTURY CLUB

The regular meeting of the Milford
New Century Club was held Monday,
February z. Mrs. Julius E. Scott,
presiding.
The business Of the meeting was
omitted owing to the fact that the
Dover Club had promised to give the
program for the day, and the club
most willingly allowed them the whole
afternoon.
The program was minstrel show
given by the following members of
the Dover club: Mrs. Jas. w. Colona,
Mrs. Howard Hopkins, Mrs. Harry
Mayer, Mrs. Herbert Smith, Mrs. Jno.
Hutton, Mrs. J. A. DOwnes, Miss Mel
lie Downes, Mrs. Walter Morris, Mrs.
Frank H. Davis, Mrs. w. D. Burton,
Mrs. Walter Powell, Mrs. Frank DAN
ner, Mrs. Lewis Armstrong, Miss Win
fired Morris and Mrs. Harry McDan-
iel. The minstrel included spooks,
witches, the usual end men and was
unique in having Mephisto for middle
man, who made good use of his pitch
fork in the different songs and Jokes.
1t is impossible to select the "best'
from the program, for all of the mem
bers were so excellent that the Mil
ford members votel all were best.
The local hits were greatly enjoyed
by the audience and particularly by
the relatives of the ones on whom the
jokes were made. The costumes were
elaborate and varied and made pret-
ty picture by the candle light on the
stage. Besides the many solos, clev-
er recitations, choruses and jokes,
which all made the day one of con-
tinuous merriment and laughter, a
most humorous little playlet was Civ
en- which was most admirably pre-
sented The entire program was full
of wit and fun, and everybody pres
ent enjoyed a good hearty laugh. In
fact, it was unanimously conceded
that if ever the Milford club suffers
from an attacks of the blues, the best
possible remedy will be "send for our
Dover sisters and have them repeat
he program"

Two CONFESS ARSON
SUSSEX COUNTY MYSTERY OF MONTHS
STANDING BELIEVED SOLVED.

An arson mystery of over thirteeI
months standing was apparently
cleared up by the arrest and placing
in Georgetown Jail of William Maddox
white, aged so, and Fred Austin, col
ored, aged 25. The men were arrested
by Detective Albert F. Dillahay, OF
Laurel, and Constable Frank P. Daw-
son, Seaford. The culprits are charg-
ed with setting fire to the home of
John Lauer, a farmer, living seven
miles from Seaford on the night of
December 26, 1919.
Lauer and his family were awaken
ed by the cracking of the flames at
IL o'clock. The fire was burning so
furiously when he awOke that he and
his wife and six children, the youngest
only three weeks old then, barely es-
capped with their lives.
When arranged before Magistrate
James K. Phillips Maddox and Austin
at first denied any knowledge Of the
fire but later confessed, according to
the officers. In their confession they
implicated Samuel Scott, a prosper
GUS farmer, living near Bridgeville, in
the vicinity of Lauer's farm. Scott was
also arrested. He waived a hearing
and gave bail for $4,000 for his appear
ance at court. Maddox claims Scott
was to give him $40 to fire the home.
Maddox, it is alleged, hired Austin to
help him. Austin in his confession, it
is said told of firing the home while
Maddox stood guard with a shot gun.
Austin said he received 81 for his part.
