II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are IN need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish IN overcoming kidney.

nary troubles and neutralizes the uric

FELTON, MAN IN TROUBLE

Going to Wilmington on Monday to
take treatment at the Delaware Hos
pital, James A. Jester, well-known
resident of FELTON,, had the misfor-
tune of running afoul of the law and
is now facing charges of carrying
concealed a revolver, operating an
automobile without proper tags and
operating an automobile without an
operators license.
Hearing of the charges was con-
tinued until December 2 by Judge
Hastings, in Municipal Court Tuesday
morning, at the request of Philip L.
Garrett, counsel for Jester.
While driving in Market street, Jes-
ter was arrested by Detective Virden,
on a charge of operating car with
out a license. When searched at the
police station, a revolver was found
in his possession.
According to Jester, he had driven
but a short distance from FELTON,
when he was stopped on the road by
two men. Their mission was peaceful,
however, but it reminded Jester of
the possibility of being stopped by
highwaymen. He therefore transferr-
ed the revolver, which he carried in
the car, to his pocket to safeguard
himself against being waylaid, he
said.

CAN'T RECOVER TAX PAID
ATTORNEY-CENERAL STANDS BY DECI-
SION HOLDING STATE INCOME Law.

"It is an established principle of
law that when a person has paid a
tax to an officer who had color of
right to receive it, it cannot be re-
covered back except pursuant to ex-
press legislative authority"
Such is the opinion handed down by
Attorney-General Sylvester D. Town
send, Jr., in response to an inquiry
made by the late George w. Sparks,
State Tax Commissioner.
State Tax Commissioner Sparks
asked for the opinion in view of the
fact that a Federal employee has re-
quested refund of taxes paid by him
on the ground that Federal salaries
are exempt from taxation.
In his reply, the attOrney-general
states that 'the taxes to which ref
erence is made must necessarily be
for the year 1920 or a previous year;
the law under which such taxes were
assessed made no provision for a
refund, neither is there any fund out
of which such a payment could be
made; the 1921 law, when dealing
with the matters of refunds, has ref
erence to taxes assessed under such
law only; entirely aside from all of
the foregoing, it is an established
principle of law that when a-persOn
has paid a tax to an officer who had
a color of right to receive it, it can
not be recovered back except pursu-
ant to express legislative authority" !"

TWO FIRES NEAR MILFORD

IThe Millwood Community House,
located between the Tub Mill School
House and the Millwood M. E. Church,
in the oak grove, two miles north of
Milford, was entirely destroyed by
fire on Wednesday evening, Novem-
ber 2Srd. The ladies of the district
had been preparing to serve Thanks
giving dinner in the building, and
left but few Goals of fire in the
stove. When the fire was first noticed
it was burning near the chimney on
the roof. Assistance was telephoned
for from Milford, but when the en-
CINE arrived and laid out the hose,
on the truck, it was short about two
hundred feet of reaching the burning
structure. It was about two thousand
feet to the nearest point along the
pond where the firemen could get
their engine to suck the water for the
long string of hose. Fortunately, the
wind set the flames away from both
the church and the school house.
There was a small Insurance on the
building and furniture amounting to
$400, which was placed when the
building was first erected. Since then
it has been enlarged almost half the
first size. The loss is about $1,000
and the insurance cuts that to $500.
The farmers of the district owned the
building, and they propose to start to
rebuild at once.
The second fire was near Lincoln
at the Davis Mills, just east of the
town. A small store room owned by
Mr.. NAPLES, who bought the mill prop
erty a few months ago, was entirely
destroyed by fire about midnight of
Saturday night last. 1t made a great
light and burned fiercely because of
the tanks of oil in the place. The fire
men of Milford went to the scene, but
could do nothing as the building and
contents were beyond saving. Mr..
NAPLES had some insurance on the
stock and building.

SUSSEX FARM BUREAU
TO MEET AT GEORGETOWN

The annual meeting Of the Sussex
County Farm Bureau will be held at
the court house, in Georgetown, Tues
day, December 9th and those present
will be given the opportunity of hear
ing a speaker from the National Farm
Bureau Federation and also Mr.. How
ard w. Selby, manager of the Eastern
States Farmers Exchange. Mr.. Selby
subject will be "Delaware's OppOrtun-
ity in the Eastern COOPERATIVE Move
ment."
Mr.. Selby who was appointed man
ager of the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange at it's inception four years
ago has had a wide experience in the
cooperative movement and he will
review it's successes and accomplish
ments in a general way. Recently he
returned from Europe where he had
spent two months making a study OF
the principle cooperative movements
of England, Scotland, Germany,
France, Denmark and Italy. In his ad-
dress he will point out the main fea-
lures of the methods of cooperation
which have made European co-opera-
tive organizations so successful.
At the last months meeting of the
Executive Committee President Robt.
]. Allen appointed committees that
will be expected to meet in the farm
bureau Office at 10 a. m.
This will probably be one of the
most important farmers meetings ev-
er held in lower Delaware. A free
lunch will be served to all.

MILFORD GRANGE VOTES
INCREASE IN CAP. STOCK

Last Saturday was day full of in
terest for the members of Milford
Grange, as action was taken upon
two important points, on which fa-
vorable action was necessary, before
operations to build a Grange Hall,
which would afford ample room for
the activities of the grange, and, at
the same time create home which is
in keeping with the Importance of the
granger influences in this part of
Delaware. The first point was, to
amend their earlier charter and au-
thorize the issuance of additional
shares of stock. This was done and
those favoring the measure made
special effort to get all grangers to
vote on the question, which was car
ried decisively. The next point was,
to vote to issue the necessary bonds
to procure the money with which to
erect the new building-this was also
earnestly campaigned for and won out
without any trouble. AS a result the
architect, Mr.. Hager, will get out the
specifications to accompany the plans
for the new building and then adver-
tise for bids for doing the work. The
purpose now is, to get the work start
ed on their land on Second street, and
extended down Pear street to the pub
lie service building, just as soon as
possible. 1t is hoped that the build
ing can be completed for use and ded-
ication next spring, or early summer
