ST. ANNE'6 CHURCH NOTES
EPISCOPAL

Ef1OCOfAL
Sunday, September 11th, 1921. The
10th Sunday after Trinity.
1890. Morning Prayer and Sermon.
11.45. Sunday School.
7.3O. Evening prayer and address.
Spend Sunday right by going to
church. Hear helpful Gospel sermon.
Meet friendly people. Worship in a
comfortable church. Make yourself
right with God.
''My Church and I. What relation
do bear to it? My church is the place
where the word of God is preached,
the power of God is felt, the spirit of
God is manifested, the love of God is
revealed. 1t is the home of my soul,
the altar of my devotion, the centre of
my affections, and the fortaste of
Heaven. l have united with it in
solemn convenant, pledging myself to
attend its services, to pray for its men,
bers, to give to its support. It claims
the first place in my heart, the highest
place IN my actlvltleS, and It's unity,
peace and progress, concern my lite in
this world and in that which IS to come.
I owe it my zeal, my support and pray
ers. When l neglect it's services l
injure its good name, lessen its power;
l discourage its members and chill my
own soul. l have solemnly promised,
in the sight of God and man, to advance
its interests by my faithful attendance,
by reading the Bible, by never neglect
ing the Holy Communion, by contri-
buting to its support, by meeting with
my fellow members, by watching over
its welfare, and by joining with them
in prayer and praise and service: and
| that promise l this day renew. Can
you say this.
There is still quite an amount needed
to pay for the supply Of coal for the
| church, and we would be glad to hear
from any one who desires to contribute
to the Coal Fund.

THE NEW BUS LINE

The Scribe has tried the "Delaware
Rapid Transit" new Bus line to Will
mlngton and other points enroute, and
pronounces it great success in every
respect, in comfort. safety and speed.
At 7.3O A. VI. we left Middletown with
six passengers, added five more at
Odessa, others still at St. Georges and
others at various points, till we had
about dozen and a half on arriving at
Wilmington.
1t was delightful early morning ride
through the fresh country over the
smo ,th road, mostly concrete, no dust
or smoke or other discomforts, and
closer, more agreeable contact with Ma
ture than the stuffy railroad cars allow
those imprisoned in their iron cages,
and occupied only little over one hour
-abAut as swift as the steam cars-and
the fare only slips to Wilmington and
back
The Scribe had the pleasure of meet
ing the two fine young men to whose
business enterprise this excellent public
accommodation is due, Messrs. c. S.
White and R. w. Ector. They are
studying the comfort and safety OF their
passengers in every possible way.
Their two chauffeurs, Messrs. j. Rem
shaw and Henry Temple, are both capa-
BILE and gentle,nanly auto drivers, and
one can quickly see that they employ
great care in their driving, slowing
down at corners, taking no chances
when passing or meeting other vehicles
on the road, etc.
These young men, Messrs. White and
Ector, are doing their best to please
their patrons in every possible respect,
and to merit a continuance and increase
of the fine success their Bus line has
had from its start. Their Buses al
ways 20 we'll loaded; sometimes more
travellers offer than they can accommo-
date. They are already figuring on in
creasing the size of their Buses and
will also some day add to their number.
The Scribe heartily urges all travel
ers to Wilmington to patronize this new
public convenience the delaware
Rapid Transit" bus line to Wilmington.

DELAWARE DIARIES.
Census Shows 1l,356,3l3 Gallons Of
Milk From Farms in 1919
FALLING OFF IN OUR BUTTER

The bureau of the Census, of the De-
partment of Commerce, announces, SUBJ
ject to correction, preliminary figures
from the 1920 census of agriculture for
the United States, with comparative
figures for the preceding census.
During 1919 in Delaware, II, 1856, 313
gallons of milk were produced, an in
crease of 1873 per cent. over the year
1909. Of this 6,S76,251 gallons were
sold; 1874, 1888 pounds of butter were
made, compared with l, 1868. ISL pounds
made in 1909; "a, ,252 gallons of cream
were sold. and 1922 pounds of butter
fat were sold. The figures for milk
production in Delaware in 1919 include
estimates for farms which reported
dairy cows on hand but failed to report
any milk production.
The total production of milk on farms
in the United States during the calen-
dar year 1919, according to the Four
teenth Census was 1906, 238. .O69 gallons.
This quantity includes estimates for
farms which reported dairy cows on
hand, but failed to report any milk pro-
duction. The quantity of milk actually
reported for 1919 was 6,893, 748, 235
gallons, as compared with 5,8l3, ,699, 474
gallons in 1909, representing an increase
of 1,OSO, O,O48, 761 gallons, or 1876 per
cent. The estimated total production
for 1909, as given in the Thirteenth
Census Reports, was 1856, 406, 384 gal
Ions. The estimates of that year, how
ever, were necessarily based on the
number of cows kept for milk" in
cludlng many that were MIXED only a
short time in the year, rather than on
the number of strictly dairy cows; and
it seems probably that the estimates
were somewhat too large in many cases.
Percentage comparisons are therefore
preferably based on the milk production
as reported.

In Memoriam

In loving remembrance of our mother,
Rosa K. Weber, who departed this life
September 9th, 1920.
One year has passed, our hearts still
sore,
As time goes on we miss you more;
Your loving ways, your welcome face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
Our sighs and tears were all in vain,
Happy angels came and bore you from
this world of pain.
We can ne'er forget your footsteps,
and your dear, sweet loving smile;
But it was God who thought it best, to
take you to that land of rest
To the heavenly realms divine.
You have never been forgotten, nor
will you ever be,
AS long as life and memory last, we
will remember thee.
Son AND DAUGHTERS.

Townsend Men Injured

Returning from Wilmington early
Saturday evening with truck loaded
with bananas. John M. Rittenhouse and
Howard Chadwick, of Townsend, were
both seriously injured in an accident
while passing through Red Lion. As

steering gear broke and before the ma
chine could be stopped it overturned,
pinning Rittenhouse and Chadwick un-

Two men, who were passing stopped
and placed five punches of the bananas
in their car. They then drove away,
without offering any assistance to the
men under the machine. A short time
later some tourists stopped and released
them.

wound which required six stitches to
sew it up, and is believed to be inter-
nally injured. Chadwick was injured

The E. & D. CANAL
Excavating is Now Progressing
Very Rapidly
A NEW BRIDGE WILL BE BUILT

Excavation for the enlargement OF
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
which was started last June on the
north bank of the waterway west OF
the station ON the Delaware Railroad
known as Canal, has progressed to such
q point as to attract much attention
from train passengers.
Approximately 600, 900 cubic yards OF
earth are to be removed. The firm OF
W. H. Gahagan. Inc, Brooklyn, has
the contract at 81 cents cubic yard,
or something over $2Oo,0OO.
Although only one steam shovel is at
work, more may be used as the project
advances. Tracks have been laid from
the scene of the excavation to the old
Lum mill pond nearby, and five trains
of ten cars and an engine each are con-
veying the dirt to the pond and dump
ing it.
The extent of the entire job may be
understood when it is estimated that
only about ten per cent. of the entire
amount of dirt which is to be removed
has been dug away.
Point where the cut is being made Is
one Of the highest along the canal.
Colonel E. N. Johnston, predecessor of
Colonel Earl l. Brown, as United States
Engineer for the Wilmington District.
under whose administration the con-
tract for the excavation was awarded,
described the section as the backbone
of the canal"
1t has been estimated that total of
$4,000, 900 cubic yards of earth will
have to be removed along the entire
canal to give it depth of from 20 to
Is feet and width of 125 feet. Such
width and depth will make it ship
canal in the full sense of the word.
Ultimately it is planned by the War
Department to dredge the canal suffi
cient to enable a fleet of warships to
pass between the Chesapeake and Della
ware bays without difficulty.
Change in the width of the canal will
require the rebuilding Of six bridges
at an estimated cost of $1,0O0,000.
1t is expected that bridges will be
built to replace the present draw-bridge
over the canal at Delaware City, and
over the new mouth of the canal on the
Port Penn road; st. Georges, to the
west of the present drawbridge at tina,
place; at Summit Bridge, at the Pivot
Bridge on the line between Delaware
and Maryland, and at Chesapeake City,
Md, over the Back Creek. One big
bridge is planned tor Chesapeake City,
Nd, to replace two bridges at that
place now and the new bridge will alst
eliminate number of bad curves in the
road.
A new bridge will also be built to re
place the present railroad bridge of th'
Delaware Railroad at the Canal. Tn,
cost of building this structure will fal
upon the railroad company.
Foundations for these new bridges
will he constructed to coincide with th'
plans for complete development of tn
waterway. Thus they will have meal
elevation of 40 feet below sea level, t
allow for deepening the canal to Is fee
for ordinary sea. going ships and 80 fee
for battle fleets.
