suited in the loss of his automobile
besides. In making the turn at the

vert to the State. The liquor will be

VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS
TO ORGANIZE In MILFORD

The society of Veterans of Foreign
+ Wars of the United States is to have
a post organized in Milford, which
will take in all soldiers of the late
World War who saw service in fore
ign lands, as well as the veterans of
the Spanish-American War.
In and about Milford there are nu-
merOus eX-sOldiers who served with
the American Expeditionary Forces
in France and the Army of Occupa-
tiOn in Germany. A number of these
veterans met last Saturday evening in
Red Mems Hall in Milford, where they
discussed the advisability of organiz-
ing Post of Veterans of Foreign
Wars for Milford and vicinity.
1t was the concensus of opinion of
those present, that a post should be
organized and to further this aim, it
was decided to call another meeting,
requesting every man or woman of
Uncle Sans fighting men, be they
"dOughbOy," "gOb" or "leathernecks,"
who saw service in the army, navy, or
hospital or other service, in foreign
lands, to attend a meeting to be held
this Saturday evening, October Sth,
1921, at 8 p. M, in Red Mems Hall, for
the purpose of effecting an organiza-
tiOn. This is no way interferes with
other organizations of soldiers but
forms distinct organization for those
who have served their country upon
foreign soil. 1t is free from political,
sectarian OF other interests simply a
of veterans who were
fortunate in seeing service abroad,

The Salem county, N. j., Board OF
Chosen Freeholders, accompanied by

DON'T BUILD FIRE ON
THE TARVA ROADS

The practice of burning leaves and
rubbish on streets and roadways, is
one of the greatest of injuries that
can be done to tarvia roads, or any
surface where a tar covering is used
for surfacing. The next serious de-
strOyer of tarvia road work, is water.
Discussing the use of water for
sprinkling tarvia streets in Smyrna,
an expert builder and contractor who
put down the excellent tarvia streets
in Smyrna, advised against sprinkling
the tarVia, for the reason, that it de-
feated the very end to be obtained in
making dustless streets. The con-
slant Wetting of the streets, he declar-
ed, had tendency to keep the road
surface chilled and prevented the tar
via from rising to the surface-and,
in time would cause the road to ravel
and go to pieces. He said, that if this
was stopped and the streets swept and
kept clean, better road surface condi-
tions would be maintained and the
streets be dustless. This is valuable
advice from one who knows what he
is talking about - let Milford Town
Council profit by the facts made
known.

REAL FALL SPORT is FOOTBALL

The High School team of Milford is
equipped to play football with teams
from other high schools, under the
regulations of the Delaware Inter-
scholastic Athletic Association, of
which the school is a member
A schedule of six games has already
been arranged for by the managers:
Prof. w. Emmett Andrews, faculty
manager and Harold P. Nutter, stu
dent manager. The first game will be
played away from home with the
Bridgeville high school team, on Fri
day afternoon, October z. The team
and managers would appreciate the
presence of home folks at this game
and all other games of the season at
home and abroad.
A field on which to play has been
secured for the time between now and
Thanksgiving. Daily practice may be
seen on this field just beyond the new
laboratory of the Caulk Dental Co.
There will be Two basket ball teams
at the high school this year, a boys
team and a girls team, but up to the
present time no suitable place near
the school has been found on which
to play basket ball. The school au-
thOrities hope to overcome this diff
Guilty in some way, and would well
come any suggestions and assistance
from the public. After all these are
your children and if you can assist
them in securing a place to play
games it is your duty to do so.

LIQUOR SELLERS WARNING
JUDGE HETSEL ISSUES WARNING WHEN
SENTENCING MlDDLETOWN MAN.

The imposing of only fines having
proved Intellectual, a sterner course
will hereafter be pursued by the
court in it's efforts to put a stop to
violations Of the liquor laws, Judge
Heisel announced in Court of General
Sessions at Wilmington Monday NOR
ming. The court, he said, proposes to
do all in its power to enforce the
laws.
Judge Heisel gave this warning
when he imposed a fine of 5000 and
costs and a prison sentence of three
months in the case of Lawrence Card
ner, negro, of near MiddletoWn, who
pleaded guilty to a charge of having
in his possession more than one quart
of spirituous liquor.
Philip L. Garrett, counsel for Gard
ner, stated that his client admitted
having nine or ten gallons of wine,
made of peaches and raisins, at his
home, but that he merely had it for
home use and for his friends. He nev-
er sold any of the brew, the attorney
said. The wine was per cent. alco-
hol, he stated.
Four gallons of mash were said to
have been found at Gardner's house
and parts of a still were found in
some bushes in the rear of barn.
Judge Heisel remarked that the
court did not believe that a man
would have so much wine for his own
use only and then announced that the
court is determined to stop violations
Of the law if it can possibly do so.

BARRATT'S CHAPEL
l4l YEARS OF AGE
HISTORIC OLD CHURCH TO CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUNDING
ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9.
BISHOP MCDOWELL SPEAKER
SERVICES WILL Be HELD AT 2 O'CLOCK
in The AFTERNOON AND SHOULD
DRAW A LARGE CROWD.

The one hundred and forty-frst an
niyersaIy of the building of historic
Barratt's Chapel, near Frederick, will
be celebrated with appropriate ser
vices on Sunday afternoon at two o.
clock. Bishop w. F. Mcdowell, bish-
op of the Wilmington Conference, will
be the principal speaker. Music fo1
the occasion will be furnished by the
choir of the Magnolia M. E. Church,
Barratt's Chapel being on the MagnO-
liza circuit. The pastor of both
churches is Rev. George R. Ellis. 1t
is likely that the Dover Glee Club
quartet will also be present and IA
vor the audience with musical selec-
tions.
Should the weather conditions be
good it is certain that thousands of
persons will be present at the eXer-
cises. Persons going from the south
will be compelled to take long de-
tour north of Frederick, however, for
work is now under way on the con-
structiOn of a short section of con-
crete road just south of the Chapel.
The inspiration that led to the
building of Barratt's Chapel came
from the preaching of Freeborn Gar
retson, in 1888, at the home of Mr..
Lewis. Phillip BaTatt and Jonathan
Sipple were so affected by it that they
formed a Methodist Society which
met at different homes. This was fol-
lowed by the building of Barratt's
Chapel, which was begun in 1880. It
is a twO-story brick building, AZ by
48 feet, and is the oldest Methodist
Church in the State of Delaware. In
1884 the first quarterly meeting was
there by Rev. Samuel Me-
ga, Rev. Francis Asbury, Caleb Ped
icord, Joseph Hartley, James Crom-
we'll and Rev. Thomas Coke, L. L. D. |
On this occasion, while Coke was
Francis Asbury "ascended
he high, old fashioned pulpit, and
warmly embracing Coke, gave him
he apostolic salutation, kiss"
