Little Sarah Scott. who has been

surprise for her. She was made very
happy with birthday cake with 10
candles. Mrs. Truitt furnished ice
cream as a birthday treat to all the
patients. Many cards and gifts be-
sides baskets of fruit and flowers
were sent in. Most of the gifts and

hold assembled outside Sarah's door
and she was asked to close her eyes.
While she kept her eyes covered all
the gifts and cards and the wonderful

Dear SIR
It's been a discouraging season
hasn't it? Everybody has worked
hard to keep things going, but crops
have been poor and prices low, but
some way or other the farmer keeps
on going. He knows that one year
cannot break down the greatest in
dustry in the world, and that it takes
five or ten year average to proper
ly figure on the returns of his busi-
ness. The farmer is the greatest op-
t1mist in the wOrld-he has to be.
Everybody needs a holiday, and you
are no exception to the rule I've fix
ed one up for you that ought to be a
dandy. Plans are ALI made-Weather
dinner, automobiles and everything.
Now it's up to you to take advantage
of it. Come on! Let's Go!
On Tuesday, August 18th, have ar
ranged for an alfalfa and soy bean
tour of Kent county. Machines will
leave Dover Green about 8:45 a. m.
and will visit farms between Dover
and WOOdside in the morning. In the
afternoon we will go north as far as
Clayton. We will inspect fields of
growing alfalfa, soy beans and jap
anese clover, and anything else of in
terest that we run into. I will ar
range to demonstrate a sure method
of cleaning up an old alfalfa field of
weeds, and make it over like new.
See Japanese clover for fall pasture,
and soy beans for seed, hay and sill /
age.
1 have arranged for all persons TAX
ing the trip to secure a good box
lunch for 60c, or you can bring your |
OWN dinner. If you want lunch pro-
gided be sure and notify me at once.
Also if you have extra room in your
machine let me know as we want to
AXE everybody that wants to go. We
will eat dinner at the farm of S. H.
Derby, near WOodside, and have a
short program there. Visitors will be
lere from all over the State. How
bout you? If Tuesday is stormy we
will go Wednesday, the 18th. Call up
he Office for details.
Lets make this the biggest day of
he year for Kent county farmers.
Sincerely yours,
A. D. COBB,

HAROLD HARRINGTON ELIGIBLE
FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING

One of the first Milford veterans of
the World War to be declared eligible
for vocational training is James Har-
old Harrington, AL Pear St., who re-
ceived a G. S. w. wound while serv-
ing with Co. B, 3O3d Engineers.
According to L. P. Hudson, an Off
cial of the Federal Board, Mr.. Har-
rington, if he so desires, will receive
training along most any line of work
that he might be interested, either in
stitutiOnal or Industrial. During the
time he is in training he will receive
from the government, one hundred
dollars monthly, with. certain addi-
tiOnal allowance for dependents.
Mr.. Hudson stated that the Federal
Board was making every effort to Sc
cure training for all former service
men who are eligible, and at the pres
ent time have about two hundred and
fifty men in training in Delaware,
many of whom are being trained at
the University of Delaware. Others
who are not interested in institutional
training are placed with industrial
concerns where they can be trained
along the lines they desire. The Gov
ernment pays the men during the
time they are in training, and the
concern with whom the men are in
training only assumes responsibility
to train them intelligently and con-
In speaking of the consolidation of
the various soldier relief organizations
into what will probably be known as
the Veterans Bureau, Mr.. Hudson ex-
pressed himself as being well pleased
and stated that it was a progressive
move and would undoubtedly simpli-
" all soldier relief work.

BUILD A NEW HOME

\H'he Milford Grange has purchased
the lot located at the corner of East
Second street and Pear street, South
Milford, directly back of the Milford
Post Office building, from Charles P.
Jones. The price paid for the lot was
.S1750. Work of erecting a new build
ing will start Immediately. 1t will be
of either brick or cement blocks, and
will be large enough to accommodate
social functions which it may be de-
sired to hold at the place. The lot is
8OX55 feet. The building will replace
the structure recently destroyed by
fire, and will be just what the grang-
ers in this vicinity have needed for
some time.
The old building on West Front
street, the upper story of which was
destroyed in the recent fire, has been
sold to William V. Sipple & Son, mar
Bile yard owners, for $4,000. The new
owners commenced to rebuild this
building on Tuesday. 1t adjoins the
Sipple yards, and the land will be a
valuable asset to the firm. When the
building is remodeled Harry Indie

mellow toast went on just the same.
Refreshments were also served after
these jolly times, after which the
many presents given to their guest of
honor were presented by the children
of the beach homes. The party ended

MILFORD BOYS MAKE LONG
TRIP ON THEIR BICYCLES

AlphOnsO Humes and Eldred Ing
ram, Milford boys, about fifteen years
of age, are having an enjoyable out
ing on their bicycles. They are TAX
ing camping equipment with them, and
reports from the boys indicate that
they are enjoying the trip to the full
est extent. They left Milford We'd
nesday of last week, and went to
Frederick, where they took the boat
for Philadelphia. On Thursday NOR
ming they left Philadelphia for Penn
sylvania towns north of the Quaker
City. They camped at Doylestown,
Pa, the first night out. Before noon
of the day following the boys reached
Easton, Pa, where they had lunch,
and then left for the Delaware Water
Gap where they pitched their tents for
the night. At this place they choose
an island for camp site. Here the
authorities have provided ample
camping space, and stoves for the
campers are provided. A large number
of other tenters were spending the
night at this spot. They spent Satur-
day and Sunday on this island, and
from it they made a number of inter
6SJluS Slu6 Trips l1IO LuS uuOuuJdluSs
Canoeing formed more of their sport.
The hiking trip which they boys took
on Sunday proved more tiresome to
them than pushing their wheels. On
Monday morning the boys again broke
camp and started to peddle for New
York State. The route took them
through Milford, Pa, and thence to
Kingston, N. Y, which they reached
night. Their parents heard
from them from this point, and they
stated that they expected to take a
boat here and come down the Hudson
River to New York City. They are
expected home tomorrow night. This
is, indeed, quite a trip for the boys,
and their young friends may expect to
hear delightful accounts of their trav- e..

OWNER OF THRESHER WINS
IN SUIT FOR DAMAGES

A lawsuit of more than passing in
terest to land owners and farmers in
general, was heard by Justice of the
Peace E. V. Hendrixson, at his office
in South Milford last Friday. The
case was one wherein Elmer T. Ben
nett, farmer and owner of a thresh-
ing outfit brought suit against Davis
Watson, Cedar Neck farmer, for
$74.08; this being the amount Ben
nett claimed would have been paid
him had Watson allowed him to
thresh his wheat crop. According to
the evidence as presented before the
Justice of the Peace, Bennett had
agreed to thresh the entire crop on
all the farms on the run" on which
Watson resided. Bennett had witnesses
who corrobOrated his claim that the
agreement was made. The outfit own
ed by Bennett started the run" and
completed it as in the past years I'M
til Watson's farm was reached. II was
not allowed to go on the property.
Bennett brought suit to recover the
$74.08 which he would have received
for threshing the Watson crop at &c
per bushel. After hearing the evidence
Justice of the Peace Hendrixson al
lowed Bennett the amount for which
he had brought suit. Bennett was rep
resented by James Tunnel and Wat
son by Thomas Frame. Frame gave
notice that he would appeal the case
and take it into court.

STATE DEMOCRATS TO MEET
WILL HOLD CONFERENCE AT REHOBOTH
BEACH SATURDAY. AUGUST 20.

Plans for a meeting of the Demo-
Gratis from all sections of the State
at RehObOth, on Saturday, August 20,
have been practically decided upon.
Aside from regular political conYen-
tions, it will be one of the biggest
meetings the Democrats of Delaware
have ever attempted. Many upstate
Democrats have arranged to go to
RehOboth on Friday afternoon to re-
main until Monday morning.
The meeting of the State Committee
will begin at 2 o'clock. At this meet
ing a national committeeman will be
selected, according to present plans.
The campaign committee will make
a report, setting forth what it has
accomplished in the way of raising
funds for the establishment OF a State
headquarters in Wilmington. 1t is very
likely that secretary for the State
headquarters will be named and also
a woman organizer.
1t is possible, if there is time, that
a committee on revision of the rules
of the party may be called upon to
report, but if there is not the Oppor-
tunity, that item will go over until
yu6 u6AL ulG6IluS OH Lu6 COIululLJ66.
At o'clock there will be a COM
bined meeting of representatives of
the Wilmington City Committee, coun-
-y committees and State committee. AT
his meeting, everything pertaining to
the success of the party will be dis
cussed.
Among the things that will be
out, will be that of women's
activities. There are some women who
'eel that they should be allowed to
carry out plans in a different way
with regard to some of the routine
that have been in vogue. 1t |
S likely that they will be permitted |
o proceed along lines which may be /
but may accomplish better /
'esults than. the cut-and-dried meth
IDS.
At o'clock there will be a dinner,
o which all Democrats and their
wives are invited. There will be short
peeches by. representative men of the
,arty for all sections of the State, and
t is hoped that this will result in
etter understanding of the future
olicies of the party in Delaware.

VALUABLE FARM SOLD
PIERCE FARM In CEDAR NECK BOUGHT
BY JENNINGS MILLS FOR $2O,I )

The Trustees sold the 219 acre farm
owned by the estate of the late Geo.
F. Pierce, Of Milford, on Saturday last
at public sale. 1t is located in Cedar
Neck, about four miles east from
Milford on the road leading to Cedar
Beach, with excellent buildings and in
high state of cultivation. It was
bought by Miles Jennings Mills for
S20,15O and it is considered a fair
price when the present depression in
financial affairs is considered. The
other land was not sold, as the bids
offered were not an approximate val
ue of the prOperty-fOr that reason
the trustees withdrew it ad and will
sell at private sale.
Other Land Sales About Milford
1t is the purpose of those who will
build homes to locate along the new
concrete highway at the edge of the
towns, rather than in the incorpOrat-
ed limits of towns. This is particular
ly noticeable about Milford, where the
first building operations of any spec
ial mention have started. In the land
sales of small tracts, which have been
reported for home building purposes
recently, the following are located at
the southwestern edge of Milford
along either the du Pont Boulevard,
or the new State-aid road, leading
from Shawnee into Milford. Each sale
noted means another new home to be
started at Once-in fact the .founGa-
tions for two are now underway.
Joseph J. Smith, of the firm of
Smith & Abbott, which was recently
dissolved, has bought three acres of
land, located on the boulevard from
Short & Hall, and has started to build
a residence for himself thereon.
Thomas Abbott has bought four
acres of land from Phillip Lewis, also
located on the boulevard, near Mil
ford, and is also building a residence |
for himself thereon.
Mrs. Rose Workman has bought four
acres adjoining the lot of Mr.. Abbott /
from Mr.. Lewis, and will have a res
idence built thereon at once.
Charles Deputy has bought from |
Mrs. John Kern, four acres of land
facing the boulevard at the intersec-
lion of the Shawnee Road, which is at
he edge of Milford, and will have
residence built and rushed to compile
ion for his own use. &,
