M. E. CONFERENCE TO
MEET IN CAMBRIDGE

The Bishops of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church at the recent semi-an-
nual meeting in Syracuse, N. Y, set
March 20, 1922, as the date for the
next assembling of the Wilmington
Annual Conference and assigned Bish-
op William F. Mcdowell residential
bishop of the Washington area, as the
presiding officer. This will be Bishop
McDowell's fifth presidency of the
conference. He is a master of assem-
blies and is exceedingly popular with
the members of the conference and
with it's entire constituency.
The conference at the 1921 session
in Crisfield, Md, enthusiastically ac-
cepted the invitation to be the guest
of Zion Church, Cambridge, Md, Rev.
Walter Edwin Gunby, pastor.
This will be the fifty-fourth ses-
sion of this conference, the first hav-
ing been held in Asbury Church, Will
mington, Del, in March, 1869. Bishop
Matthew Simpson, presiding. 1t was
formerly a part of the Old Philadel-
phia Conference which was one of the
first formed following the Organiza-
ton of the Methodist Episcopal Church
in Baltimore, during the Christmas
season of 1884. It's territory takes in
The whole of the Delmarvia peninsula.

TURKEY PRICES TUMBLE

What is turkey worth? When the
public naturally refused to accept the
farmers and dealers quotations on
the grand old national bird on Sat
urday night, resulted in a surplus OF
stock which exceeds by far the pro?
it's of sales earlier in the day. Not
only that, but the quotations of 80
and 80 cents a pound suddenly tool
a slump to 80 and 40 cents a pound.
Even at that low figure the buyers,
or prospective buyers did not rush to
make purchases, and at 8 o'clock Sat
urday night the bottom dropped out
entirely.
The law of gravitation was forced
home with emphasis to many farmers.
Never in the history of the Whining
ton markets has there been so large
a supply of fowls on sale in one day.
There was also a drop in the price
of chickens and ducks, but this was
not so noticeable as the slump in the
turkey market.
The Christmas tree market was
similar to the turkey market. Dur
ing the early part of Saturday the
price of trees ranged from so cents to
$40, but Saturday night a tree could
be had by fixing your own price. After
the days business the dealers in trees
and other Christmas greens cleaned
the part Of the street they occupied
Every Evening.

MILFORD MERCHANTS HAD
EXCELLENT XMAS TRADE

Notwithstanding the calamity hoWls
throughout all sections of the country,
the merchants of Milford have been
wearing broad smiles since Christ
mas. The reason for this is soon ex-
planned when one of them is ap-
preached on the subject. The mer-
chants, and especially those who car
ried advertising in the Milford Chron-
icle, report that the number of sales
this December was greater than those
for last year or for 1919. While goods
have been very materially reduced in
price, the gross amount of sales was
even greater than during the two pre-
vious Christmas holidays business
seasons.
Unlike in past years Milford was
not overrun with shoppers at the last
minute this year. The people had
shopped early, having started about
the first of the month. They bought
steadily during the entire month, and
were not compelled to take the Ieav-
ings at the last minute Taken all
in all the merchants of Milford are
well pleased with the business which
they did this year. The Chronicle car
ried more holiday advertising this
season than ever before in it's history,
and prides itself upon the fact that it
undoubtedly assisted its advertisers
in making their holiday trade what it
was.

JUDGE HETSEL DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
POPULAR JURIST SUCCUMBS TO VAL
VULAR AFFECTION OF The HEART
AFTER SIX WEEKS ILLNESS.
SERVED 6 YEARS ON BENCH
WAS PROMINENT In The DEMOCRATIC
PARTY-FUNERAL HELD THURSDAY
AT DELAWARE CITY. II

Thomas Bayard Heisel, associate
judge of Delaware courts, died at his
home in Delaware City, last Monday
afternoon, December 26, 1921, of val
vular affection of the heart, follow
ing an illness of six weeks. The we'll
known jurist was lifelong Democrat
and one of the most prominent men,
bers of the Delaware Bar. He was So
years old.
Judge Heisel was born in st.
Georges, Delaware, October 1, 1868,

tered Delaware College in 1883, grad
uating in 1887. He received a degree

Following his graduation, Judge
Heisel went to Chicago, where he en-
gagged in the real estate business for
several years. He returned to Della
ware and read law with the late Chief
Justice Charles B. Lore. He was ad-
mitted to the Bar in 1890, and began
the practice of law in New Castle
county.
In September, 1912, Judge HeiseI
was named member of the Code
Commission of Delaware to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Chief
Justice Lore. Governor Charles B. Mil
Ter appointed Judge Heisel an asso-
ciate justice on October IA, 1914, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Justice Victor B. Wooley, who
was appointed to the United States
District Court. His term would have
expired October 13, 1925.
Judge Heisel has been a prominent
figure in Democratic party affairs, and
prior to his appointment to the judici-
ary was leading figure at numerous
party conventions. In 1912 he attend
ed the Democratic National Conven-
tion at Baltimore, as a delegate, sup
porting the candidacy of Woodrow

MILFORD CHRISTMAS DANCE
GIVEN BY TUESDAY NIGHT CLUB WAS A
MOST ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.

The Christmas Dance given by the
Tuesday Night Dancing Club of Mil
ford, on Monday evening in the Ar
mory Hall, was one of the finest
dances ever held in Milford. About
one hundred couples were present to
enjoy the dancing, and from all
sources came expression of approval
for the manner in which the dance
was carried out. The Armory was
beautifully decorated for the occasion.
James K. Pettyjohn was chairman of
decoration and did the planning and
actual work of making the building
attractive, himself. He came in for
much favorable comment for his part
of the work. Under the gallery in the
hall two "dens" had been provided.
These were arranged with porch fur
niture and shaded lamps. Needless to
say they were the most popular places
in the hall between dances.
Beginning about $3.50 o'clock, the
dance ended at 2:3O, following which
several breakfasts were given by the
younger set. Before the last dancer
had retired, the business folk of the
town were starting with Tuesdays
business. Music for the dance was
furnished by the Original Six" or
chestra of Wilmington. The music
came highly recommended. 1t was on
a par with music provided for dances
in Milford in the past
The dance, unlike these affairs in
the past, was given by the Tuesday
Night Club. Invitations, and admis-
sion tickets, had to be secured
club member who paid for
the guest himself. An impression has
gotten abroad in many of the neigh
boring towns to the effect that all out |
of town persons were compelled to
pay to attend the dance. This was
not the case. If any of the visitors
paid to attend it was only because
the club member who handed in their
name allowed them to pay. It was a
club affair pure and simple, and not
a subscription dance.
