.REHOBOTH PULLING
DOWN HER SHUTTERS
DeIaware's Ocean Resort Max
ing Preparation for Big
Season This Year.

Rehoboth is said TO be pulling down
her shutters, ready for the coming sea-
son, which possibly will be her largest.
Already a large number of cottagers
are there and many more are expected
before the first Of June. II appears 10
be the custom to go TO the shore
earlier and earlier each year, and in
deed, many find the season more at
tractive in May than at other times,
with the protection to be afforded to the
beach against high tides, that usually
accompany winter storms, provided for
by the Legislature, the resort should
have a more rapid growth than ever in
the past It was not very inspiring
in the past to feel that what one might
build one season might be swept away
the next. and so people held off largely
from making the improvements they
may have had in mind.
There is no denying that Rehoboth
has one of the finest strips OF beach TO
be found along the Atlantic coast, and
the finest sheet of water as well. With
the Delaware bay on one side, Rehototh
bay, or the mouth of Indian River on
another and the ocean in front, there
is nothing to be desired in the way of
water and capes. There is surf or still
bathing, should any one prefer the
latter.
The social life OF Rehoboth an the
summer is indeed attractive. It is less
formal than many Of the more preten-
tious reports and consequently less COM
plex and freer from he conventionalities,
that people who have had a surfeit of
social diversions in winter are anxious
to avoid. and besides the expense OF
maintaining a summer home at Reho-
both is much less than at most other
desirable resorts.
While nothing has been said recently
regarding the contemplated new hotel
to cost million dollars. at the resort
il is reported that the project to erect
large, modern hostelry there has not
been abandoned al ALI but that the plan
is not likely TO materialize until gen.
eral business conditions are improved
Whether this VIII be next season on
the one following is, of course. impos-
sible TO foretell. There is no doubt but
| the matter Of Improvement and in
creasing the accommodations there viii

conditions seem TO warrant such step

BUREAU
AIDS DISTRESSED FAMILY
Finds Places for Them While the
Mother Goes Away for
Recuperation.

One day the Chffdfen's Bureau was
called on the telephone by doctor who
said he had patient who was hysteri-
cal and in a very bad physical condi-
ton. He recommended her going TO
a convalescent home, as rest was
what she needed. but she refused TO go
because she had no place for her chill
dren.
The bureau called to see Mrs. b She
and her three young children were sit
ting in room which was bare except
for three straight chairs and dirty
rug. Immediately the mother began
talking about how in she was and how
the children worried her. She wanted
to go away but had no place for her
children TO stay. Mr. r., who was a
barber, had TO be at work each day so
could not look after the children, nor
did he make more than enough money
TO just keep his family together.
At once the bureau wrote to the
home where the doctor said Mrs. II.
should go. An application blank was
received from them. After it was filled
out and signed by the doctor, 1t was
returned to the home. While the bu-
reau was waiting TO be notified when
Mrs. b. could go, all the relatives We're
visited The mothers sister and father,
who live in Philadelphia. were visited.
They agreed to take one of the children
and keep her till her mother was able
to come back home. The father was
making plans TO stay with his relatives
in town while his wife was away. 80
the oldest child was to go with him.
The baby was placed in the Babies
Hospital. After this was all planned.
word was received from the Home that
Mrs. B. could be admitted. How de-
lighted she was to be going. Eight
weeks later she returned home feeling
much improved. Her children were re-
turned TO her and the home was re-
united.
The Children's Bureau, which does
work for children in need of special
attention, cared for 111s children last
year, with a net budget of S9.215.91,
or about sS.25 for one child. This does
not include So, s,529.3 3S paid 10 the bureau
by other societies and relatives for the
board of children in homes selected and

HARD COAL HIGH AND
NO DECREASE EITHER.

No decrease in the local price of
hard coal can be expected, or at least
there is none in prospect, although
the production of coal is definitely
increasing for the first time in two
months.
With the approach Of the fall sea-
son demand is picking up and this no
doubt accounts for the increase in pro-
ductiOn.
Nut and Stove $40.
Nut and stove sizes are quoted here
at SO a ton, delivered, without carry.
Egg is % cents cheaper.
Production Increases.
According to the report Of the Ma
tional Coal association, the output for
the last week was $4,000 tons more
than the week preceding, and the larg-
est since June IL.
This was accepted by the associa
ton as indicative of general better
ment in industrial conditions, as prac-
tically all industries are dependent
upon fuel
The daily average output for last
last week was 1,2SS,000 tons, COM
pared with the daily average of L.
271 900 tons for the year to date.
At the same time production of an
thracite has greatly increased, 1,772,-
900 tons being loaded last week, COM
pared with 1,564,000 tons the week be-
fore.

GASOLINE AT Sc IF FARM PRICES
REIGNED IN OTHER BUSINESSES.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Aug 28.--Gasoline
would be selling at SC a gallon, coal
at So a ton, suit of clothes at SIS,
if prices were on the same scale as
prices received by farmers for their
produce, Co. Agent T. R. Glasco de-
clared in an address at the annual re-
union of the Barr School Alumni as
ISOLATION in Avon township last week.
cit is no wonder the farmer IS dis
contented," he continued, when it
takes only pounds of wool for suit
of clothes and the farmer receives
only $1.60 for the wool. When he
wants a suit he has to pay the value
of between 200 and 400 pounds" He
cited an instance of Kansas farmer
who turned in 25 bushels of corn, a
cow-hide, and a so cent piece to pay
for SO pair of shoes. He was cred
tied with $3.50 for the corn and only
50 for the hide.
The Barr school is one of the Oldest
in that section of the county, having
history extending back almost Is
years. The present stone building has
been there for so years.
