Garrett L. HynsOn, one of the old
est citizens of Milford, died Thursday
morning, August 18th, 1921, at his res
idence at corner of Second and North

July 18th, 1929, and was 80 years and

ties Anderson, by whom he had sew
eral children. The first was Henry L.

er of the News and Advertiser of Mil
ford for several years and up to his
death. The second son, Charles, died
in California early in his life as a
young man. George B. Hynson, is now
living in Philadelphia, where he is
identified with a prominent printing
company, but is better and more wide
ly known as a writer of verse and
songs particularly of interest to the
people of Delaware. Mrs. Anna Hyn-
son Morris died about two years ago
in Wilmington. Miss Lizzie HynsOn is
a well known educator in Pennsylva-
mia. Garrett P. Hynson died few
years ago in Connecticut, where he
was engaged in business. Mr.. Hyn-
sons first wife died many years ago

ried, this time Mrs. Priscilla Morris,
who survives him. The funeral had
not been arranged for as this paper

SMALLEST SWARM OF BEES

What is thought to be the smallest
swarm of bees ever caught, have been
induced to try their new home in a
brand new hive. The swarm is so
small in size that the complete swarm
including the queen can be easily
placed in tea cup. The exact num-
Der cannot be estimated on account of
tlfeir natural tendency to be on the
move all the time. The swarm will be
kept over winter by careful feeding
and used for experimenting next sum-
mer Another swarm, a larger one,
was captured the same day short
distance away. Both swarms were
caught near the apiary of Mr.. War
zecha, two miles east of Milford.

BOY DROWNED IN MILFORD

James Hudson Young, grandson of
Nehemiah Young, colored, was drown
ed on Monday afternoon, when he fell
into the Misipillion River, near VAL
liant's fertilizer plant. The boy was
about eight or nine years of age. A
gasoline launch was going down
stream and the child ran to the wharf
to see it go by. He was running too
fast to stop and fell overheard. Be-
fore he could be pulled out life was
extinct. DR.. Samuel Marshall with as
sistants worked on the body for some
time, but he could not be revived.

FORT CEMENT WORK DEFECTIVE

The cement work at Fort Salisbury,
situated six miles from Milford, which
was laid in freezing weather has COM
menced to crack, and much of it has
been pronounced defective. This is es-
pecially true in the gun pits where
the cement work must be solid to
withstand the recoil of the large field
pieces. Workmen this week have been
removing the defective material and
replacing it with new cement. The
work of finishing the fort was hur-
ried during the war, and that accounts
for the cement being laid when the
mercury was too low for that kind of
work. This will mean quite an ad-
ditional expense to the Federal gov
ernment,

Pointed Paragraphs

An empty stomach provides food
for thought.
Money talks-and it's usually in
hurry to say goodbye.
Keep you eye on small opportun-
tiles. They seldom grow.
A burglar, unlike a horse owner, is
willing to take another mans dust.
There are lots of other things in
this busy world besides time and
tide that wait for no man.
Don't roll cigarettes for the pur-
pose of killing time. Time will
transact business at the old stand
long after you have quit.
The average man would be sat
isfied if he could get the surface Of
the earth, but the gas and subway
companies want what's under the
surface.

soon make Mary more careful.

Third, repeat the desirable action
as often as possible. We all know
that the habit is most firmly fixed
which we have been practicing the
longest. Seize every occasion to per-
form. the act which you wish to be-
come a habit and its acquisition will
come all the sooner.
Last of all, act, don't talk. AS
Professor James says in his Talks
to Teachers, "Don't preach too much
or abound in good talk in the alb
stract." When Mary throws her coat
on the floor and her rubbers in the
middle of the hall, don't tell her that
nice little girls don't do those things,
or that she is a careless girl and
should know better, and great deal
more to that effect. Simply call her
as soon as you discover what she
has done and tell her quietly and
good naturally to put her things
away Immediately and then see that
she does it. Such treatment ms this
IS far more effective than mere
talking.

Creep for Lambs
Increases Gains

BY building creep so that lambs
can be fed grain in place where
the ewes cannot get to it, Kentucky
farmers will be able to realize more
rapid gains in the young animals,
according to sheep specialists from
the State College of Agriculture. A
good grain mixture for the young
sters is composed of one part by
weight of ground corn, one part of
crushed oats, one part of linseed
oil meal and two parts of wheat
bran. 1t is good practice to build

Mothers are often heard to say
my children have such untidy hab-
its and I don't seem to be able to
break them. I talk all day long, but
it doesn't do any good"
No mother needs to endure her
children's untidy habits or any other
undesirable habits, if she goes about
training in the right way, and is
willing to take little trouble to car
ry il out. Four simple rules based
on psychology, may serve to give
such mothers an insight into the
means of forming right habits If
carried out faithfully, these rules
cannot fail to produce results.
First, decide for yourself what
habit you wish to form. Then start
enthusiastically and determinedly to
break the old and launch the new
one. Say to your children, 'Begin-
ming today we are all going to hang
up our wraps, and put our books and
rubbers in the proper places when We
come home from school. Lets see
who remembers every time, and does
not have to have mother tell her
once about it." Arouse as much en-
thusiasm as you can about the mat
ter. Be careful that you do not
start to break and form anew too
many habits at one time. Select one
or two habits to work on and keep
at them until you are reasonably
sure that they are well fixed. Then
start on another.
Second, permit no exceptions to
occur after you have once started.
No matter how good the intentions
of the children, they will lapse into
the old ways after few days. That
is when you will have to work. You
will find that eternal vigilance on
your part will be the price of your
children's good habits. When Mary
comes home in a hurry to go out to
play, she will throw her books on
the nearest chair. Don't say, "Oh,
well, she is little, and it is hard to
remember all the time. I'll let it go
this time" That is where you will
fail. Even though Mary has already
gone away to play, she should be
called back Immediately and told
in a kind manner, 'You forgot your
books today. Put them away, and
then you may 60 to play" One or
two experiences Of that kind will
