BOY INJURED BY TRUCK

Martin Coopersmith, small son of
one of Milford's merchants, was pain
fully injured about the foot when he
fell under the heavy truck owned and
driven by Harry Greenley on Monday.
Greenley is engaged in hauling sand
from the sand pit, east of Milford, to
the road construction gang, working
on the Harrington-Milfor road. When
driving Ehe heavily-loaded truck from
the sand pit on Monday he noticed a
number of small boys, but didn't think
about them being in the way. He was
surprised a few minutes later to have
persons standing nearby to tell him
that he had run over boy. The Coop
ersmith child had tried to Jump on the
step of the truck, but had failed. For
tunately he didn't fall under the
wheel, but the side of the wheel
struck him on the foot. He was pain
fully cut and bruised, but no bones
were broken. He was taken to the
hospital of Drs. Marshall where an
X-ray disclosed that there were no
fractures, but it was deemed best to
keep him in the hospital for few
days.

DEMOCRATIC STATE,
CONVENTION AUG. 29
MRS. ETA GRAY JONES MADE CHAIR.
MAN OF A SUSSEX Countrywide
WOMEN'S CLUB.
DEPLORES A SLUSH FUND
CHAIRMAN ISAACS DESIRES HIS PARTY
TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM The
ILLEGAL USE OF MONEY.

August 20, at 10 a. M, was fixed as
the time for the Democratic State
Convention at a meeting of the State
Committee with the Sussex County
Committee at Georgetown Saturday.
The chairman, Henry R. Isaacs, was
authorized to select a nominating
committee of FIVE, the duty of which
will be to secure names to place be-
fore the convention for temporary
chairman.
The meeting was attended by about
fifty members of the State Committee.
Chairman Isaacs made an address that
stirred the members to great enthus-
iasm as to the outlook for the success
Of the party.
Following the meeting, Andrew j.
Lynch, Sussex county chairman, in
vited Miss Ellen SamwOrth, of Will
mington, to explain the organization
plans of the Women's Democratic
Clubs to the Sussex women present so
that they might devise the plan for
organization in the lower county.
Miss Samworth did so gladly and
the women members unanimously or
ganized the Sussex Countrywide Wo-
mems Democratic Club with Mrs. Et-
ia Gray Jones, as chairman and full
corps of officers.
After organizing they invited Miss
Samworth to return to Sussex on Au-
gust 8, to begin the work of Organiz-
ing branches of the Countrywide Club
in each town and hundreds of the
county.
In his remarks at the meeting of the
State Committee, Chairman Isaacs re-
called attention to the need for fire.

only during campaigns but at all
times. $50 long as 1 am chairman of
the committee" Mr.. Isaacs said, 81
shall make an effort to hold an Occa-
sional meeting in New Castle and Sus-
sex as well as Kent county"
Contrasting the parties and their
policies Mr.. Isaacs said:
"The rank and file of the Republi-
can party is clean and honest and
fundamentally, they are as good DEM
Ocrats as we, and matter of vital ne
cessity to us is to get up candidates
of such outstanding strength, and to
mark a course so straight that all
thoughtful men and women, whatever
their previous political afiliation may
nave been, Will react to IT. Inc time is
ripe for a persistent and united effort
to put forward the strongest candi-
dates ever presented to the electorate
of the State. If this is done, they will
be invincible.
"It is essential that the party pro-
tect itself, insofar as possible, from
the illegal use of money, from the
poison propaganda that the Republi-
can party invariably resorts to for the
purpose of weakening the spirit of
Democrats and creating disorder with
in their ranks. 1t is equally necessary
that Democrats everywhere shall
stand for strong candidates, for right |
and purposes, and that eve
cry ounce of energy at the party COM
mand shall be brought to bear in be-
half of the cause"

A GIRL-A BOY[A JEALOUS
MAN-THEN A FIGHT

The following letter from respon-
sible colored woman who gives an
other version of the fight that occur
red at Slaughter Beach last week,
when the many church Sunday
schools held annual picnics there all
on the same day. The woman who
sends the statement, is Mrs. Eff1e Ak
en- Prettyman, who was raised near
Milford and she gives the Rev. Hol-
land, of st. Pauls Church, as refer
ence as to its correctness. She with
others regret the trouble that occur
red, and asks that the statement as
printed last week in the Chronicle be
offset by printing the other side of the
question-it follows:
zone of the Milford Boy Scouts
strolled down the bayshore with Mil
ton girl-the boy friend of the girl at.
Milton, saw them and started an ar
gument which soon turned to blows.
The Milton boy was Furnishing the
boy from Milford, when several Boy
Scouts from Milford went to the as
sistance OF their chum. 1t was then
seen by those looking on, that the
Milton man was getting rough treat
ment, with probability of being kill
edit was then that three men from
Milton went to his assistance and res
cue.
None of the men from Milton had a
revolver. The results were about as
stated"
1t has again been demonstrated that
jealousy is a trouble breeder, and with
the setting of a bayshore, a girl and
two lovers in dispute over her - all
kinds of trouble will quickly follow.

ERADICATION WORK
POPULAR in SUSSEX
ESPECIALLY so WITH The MAN WHO
OWNS one COW AND THOSE SUP
PLYING PUBLIC WITH MILK.
ARE NOW RE-TESTTNG HERDS
In SUSSEX COUNTY AND OCCASIONALLY
FIND AN UNTESTED HERD THAT
WAS MISSED AT FIRST TEST.

tuberculosis eradication work was
authorized in Delaware in co-opera-
ton with the Federal Government by
the extra session of the legislature in
1920 when an appropriation of $4,000
per year was made to pay the veteri-
narians and to pay indemnities for
cattle destroyed. The State Board of
Agriculture has two men employed
in the field cleaning up tuberculosis,
and the Federal Government has also
two men, the latter being employed
largely in the upper part of . Kent
county and New Castle.
The work has become very popular
among all classes of cattle owners. 1t
is especially approved by the man
with one COW and those who supply
the public with milk and take pride
in selling only clean, pure milk. So
popular has the work become that
the Kelly-Lester people at Clayton
have recently taken an active inter
est in the matter and have induced
all the patrons of the shipping sta
tion at that point to have their cattle
tested in order that they may sell
milk from tuberculOsis-free cattle.
This is a good sign of public sent1-
ment when they require not only
sterilized milk but milk from COWS
that are perfectly healthy. While
there is no doubt but that the process
of sterilization kills the germs of tu-
berculOsis, at the same time, it is of
some injury to the milk, and when all
the shipping stations as well as pri-
vate dairymen have their herds clean,
it will mean much to the health of
the people.
The State Board of Health requires
that all raw milk must be from tU-
berculin-tested cows and depends up
on the State Board of Agriculture to
see that all COWS from which milk is
sold are properly tested. No man
wants to buy the milk of a tubercular
COW and much less does the wise far
mer want his family to use it.
DR.. Gallagher and DR.. Birmingham
are now retesting the herds in Sus-
sex county and occasionally find an
untested herd that was missed when
the first test was made. In a short
time, they will have covered the en-
tire county. Most of the herds are
now free from reactors and when the
work is done, it is believed that there
will hardly be one left in the county.
This is a permanent condition of ar
fairs, farmers having to have their
COWS tested only once year and be-
ing careful not to introduce any un-
tested animals.
In the State up to the present time,
there are nearly two thousand herds
and over ten thousand animals under
supervision. One hundred and twenty
five herds are fully accredited. From
any of these accredited herds, animals
may be shipped to any part of the
United States or Canada without re-
testing. Breeders can buy of men who
have accredited herds with full assur-
ance that they will not get tubercular
The entire herd must pass
two annual tests in order to be ac-
credited

MANY CAME FOR DENTAL CLINIC

In last weeks issue of The Milford
Chronicle there appeared a small
news item to the effect that The L. D.
Cauk Company, of Milford, would
hold a free clinic on Monday of this
week, at which teeth would be ex-
tracted for any persons desiring them
pulled, free of charge. Early Monday
morning patients arrived at the Caulk
Laboratories and all day Monday two
dentists, assisted by two trained
nurses, extracted teeth. Monday after
noon when work was stopped for the
day, twenty patients were told to re-
turn the following day. A total of 63
persons were treated and 523 teeth
were extracted at the clinic, The pa
tients came from Milford, Millsboro,
Pennington, Glendale, Frankford,
Greenwood, Mt. Pleasant, Lincoln,
Harrington, Bridgeville, Oakley, Fred
erica, Cedar Neck, Wyoming, George
town and Salisbury, Md. No publicity
was given the free clinic other than
the few lines which appeared in The
Chronicle. The officials of the Caulk
Company were surprised at the num-
ber of persons who responded to the
Another demonstra-
tion that The Chronicle conveys the
news throughout the county and state

CURE FOR CLUTTED MARKET
STATE BUREAU CHIEF SAYS THAT ADS
WILL CREATE A DEMAND.

Don't wait until your crops are in
the market with few buyers in sight
and then tell your troubles to the
world. Tell the world in advance that
your fresh fruits and vegetables are
coming, how good they are and just
when to expect them, and we'll hear
less about glutted markets"
Urging more concentrated adver-
tising by farmers, Chief A. L. Clark,
of the state bureau of markets, gives
the above advice to New Jersey grow
ers. Every year, he declared, makes
more apparent the necessity of the
farmer using printers ink in order to
sell his crops profitably. Big dealers
and cOmmi sion men, he urges, should
join hands with the farmers in or
ganized campaigns in every large
city to keep housewives advised of
seasonable crops.
The majority of housewives, Chief
Clarke declares, buy vegetables and
fruits by guess work. They are ignOr-
ant of the exact season when most of
the crops are at their peak. They buy
no more when the crop is at the height
of production than when it is scarce.
This, he says, works a hardship on
the pocket of the city consumer and
the income of the producer.
"The manufacturer of a non-perish-
able product prepares the market for
his output before his goods leave the
warehouse. 1t is far more important
that the producer and the dealer in
perishable farm products should Gre
ate a prompt demand for their goods
and virtually the only agency thru
which this can be done is newspaper
says Chief Clark. Fol
lowing up this departments own ef-
forts to educate consumers to eat it
in season, buy it in quantity the use
of advertising by farmers has been
suggested in several centers. The
same rule applies to the merchandise
ing of farm products as to manufact-
ured goods. The products must be as
In every city where there
has been judicious advertising of their
crops the result has been satisfactory
to farmers"

MONEY PLENTIFUL IN DELAWARE

Total deposits of State Banking In
stitutions in Delaware, of June 80,

of securities owned has been very
marked, and in many cases the market
value exceeds the banks carrying or
book value.
Comparison of the compiled figures
of the June Both, 1922 report with
those of July LIST, 1921, show the banks
of Delaware at this time, on the whole
to be in stronger position; as to de-
posits, value of securities owned,
amount of borrowed money and the
Hquidity of loans.
In the lower counties of the State
the returns from the strawberry and
the early apple crops were, generally
speaking, favorable.

HALL
BOY HURT ON PICNIC

David Baker, aged about ten years,
was injured at Oak Orchard on Thurs
day of last week when he went to that
resort with the Methodist Episcopal
Church Sunday school, of Milford.
There is an old merry-go-round at
Oak Orchard, but it has been discard
ed and is not in use. The horses have
been removed from the machine. A
number of youngsters conceived the
idea of riding around the pole on
ropes. This they started to do, and
were having fine time when young
Baker climbed the centre pole on
which the cogs and gears are located.
In some manner he caught his left
arm in the gears. His cries brought
aid and he was released. When he was
disentangled from the pole he fell to
the ground and cut his face. The boy
was put in the car owned by William
G.. Abbott, of Milford, and rushed to
the hospital of Drs. Samuel and Will
liam Marshall in Milford. Here it was
found that the muscle Of the left arm
was badly crushed, but hopes of saw
ing the arm are entertained. The cash
on the youngsters face was sewed up.
The soldier boys are in camp at the
