EARLY RUN OF
SHAD APPEARS
Fishermen Getting Ready to
Cast Their Nets by April |

Many Delaware river shad fisher
men have gone to the Southern waters
to fish until the opening of the sea-
son in the Delaware river. They had
nothing to do because work is so
scarce, so most of them borrowed
enough money to make the trip.
There will be more nets operated in
the Delaware river this season be-
tween Camden and Pennsville than
for several years. Scores are now
overhauling nets and boats. The sea-
son usually opens about April l, pro-
vided the ice and snow water has dis
appeared. Most of the fishermen will
use power boats. The demand for
shad is increasing each year, while
shad are getting scarcer in the river

Farms in State
On the Decrease
Reports of Dept.of Commerce
Show 469 Women Occu-
pied as Tillers of
Soil

The department of Commerce,
through the Bureau of the Census,
has issued a statement presenting
the results Of a further analysis of
the occupation statistics for Della
ware. The total population of Della
ware in 1920, 223,003, included 49,
119 males and 1S,105 females 10 years
of age and over who were reported
as gainfully occupied-that is, work.
ing for salaries, wages, profits, or
other form of pecuniary compensa-
tion or it's equivalent.
Of the males gainfully occupied,
1851, or 1872 per cent, were farmers
(including gardeners) and 6,259, or
SO per cent. were farm laborers
(either working out or on the home
farms.) The number of farmers rep
resents a decrease of IL per cent. as
compared with 9.743 in 1910, and the
farm laborer shows a decrease of 43.9
per cent. from 11,14S in 1910. The
number of females gainfully oc-
cupied included 266 farmers, as
against IT'S in 1910. The decrease in
the number of farm laborers of both
sexes was due in a large part to the
change in the census date from April
Is in 1910 to January in 1920.
The remaining occupational classes
for each of which at least 1900 per-
sons of both sexes were reported in
1920 stated in the order of their nu-
merical Importance, are as follows:
Servants and walters, 715 males and
3,647 females, clerks, except in stores,

St. Thomas Bazaar
Proves Big Success
Mrs. Dobson and Miss Tweed
Carried Off Popularity
Contest---Receipts
$824.22

The bazaar held in the Armory last
week under the auspices of the Guild
of st. Thomas Episcopal Church was
successful to the extent of S824.22 in
receipts. The affair came to a close
in blaze of glory on Saturday night
when the receipts amounted to about
$500 One of the really big events
of the week was the chicken and
oyster supper served on Thursday
night. On this affair between $3.50
and $17O was cleared.
From present indications the re-
ceipts realized will be sufficient to pay
off the church debt and have goodly
sum over.
The close of the carnival Saturday
night brought keen competition An
the two popularity voting contests
about 1900 votes being polled. Mrs.
Matte Dobson, aged IS years, the
oldest active member in the guild and
church, won the prize for the most
rocker donated by Miller Brothers
Company, of Wilmington. She re-
ceived a total of 665 votes. Mrs.
John Charsha, another active and
popular worker in the church was
second with a total of 444 votes.
Mrs. Dobson has been an active
worker in the church for many years
and her son, George Dobson, is a
member of the vestry. Many persons
outside of the church supported Mrs.
Dobson and Mrs. Charsha also re-
ceived liberal support. The chair was
presented to Mrs. Dobson in front of
the crowd at the close of the contest
by George Carter, chairman of the
general carnival committee. She re-
sponded with a few remarks thanking
her friends for their support.
Miss Jennie Tweed, a member of
st. Thomas Sunday School, won the
prize, a handsome floor lamp, donated
] by Lindsey-Tucker Furniture Co., of
Wilmington, for the most popular un-
married woman or girl She received
a total of 376 votes. Miss Ethel
Baldwin, of Wilmington, was second
i with 14O votes. There were some
scattered votes for other contestants
for both prizes.
Dancing was one Of the main at
- fractions the closing night and the
dance floor was crowded all evening.
Music was furnished by the CONT
mental Band each evening during the
carnival without any charge whatever
j to the carnival committee. The lib
i eral spirit on the part of the musi-
clans was greatly appreciated by
every member of the Guild and in nc
small way helped to make the affair
success. David w. Chalmers, leader
and cornetist of the band was gener.
ally commended for his work. AL
though he has been playing only since
this band was organized three years
ago, Chalmers has made unusual pro
gress as a musician. Howard Nc

Mrs. Newman hurried back into her

fercely in the basement, and about to
spread to the first floor.
The fire was not pxtinguished until
quantities Of water had been poured
into the cellar. Because of great guam
titles of chemicals stored there. the
smoke was acrid and choking. and the
firemen found difficulty in making their
way down TO the source Of the fire.
Dudley Thomas. manager of the

$4,000, principally in valuable drugs and
other stock stored in the basement.
Smoke and water destroyed what was

demning a tract Of land including boil,

demnation of the land on the ground
it would merely be approving a plan for
enlarging the park voted down by Coun-
Gil several years ago.
The State Commission will be asked
today to select the ground on which to
