In the garden Of the parsonage at
EIlendale, which is occupied BY Rev.
A. Travers who has planted and at
tended to the household crops him
self during the season just ending, the
products of plant and vine have been
bounteous il quantity and size. In
one corner was planted last June seed
Of pumpkin, which grew and thrived
under the careful work of the owner
and by the rich loan of the garden.
This week one of the pumpkins grown
on the vine, was brought to The Mil

MILFORD PALACE THEATRE

The NixOn-Nirdenger interests have
taken over the Palace Theatre in Mil
ford, which has been for several
months under the management of Geo.
Schwartz, of Dover. The new owners
nave placed Major P. H. Moorehead

new schedule of shows each evening.
instead of only two days each week
as in the past. "Smilin' Through"

DELAWARE ASSEMBLY
is DRIER THAN EVER
PROHIBITIONISTS COUNT 10 TO Is In
SENATE AND Fl TO u in HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Delaware's next legislature, which
assemblies in January will be drier
than ever, it has been announced by
Rev. E. c. Prettyman, secretary of the
State Anti-Saloon League.
Mr.. Prettyman also declared that
while the election of Thomas F. Bay
ard as Senator was a gain of one vote
in Washington by the vets, it did not
reveal the true sentiment of Delaware
on the liquor question because of the
overwhelming majority obtained by
former Judge William H. Boyce, an
ardent dry, for Congress.
After commenting upon the election
from the viewpoint of the prohibition
interests, Mrs. Prettyman said:
I'm Delaware, while the election of
Mr.. Bayard is triumph for the asso-
citation against the Prohibition Amend
ment, it cannot be pointed to as re-
vealing the wet and dry sentiment in
The State because of the overwhelming
of Judge William H. Boyce,
who is known to be dry.
'The next Delaware legislature will
De as dry or drier than any we have
lad. In the House we will have from
Il to q against any weakening of the
present prohibition laws and from 10
o 12 against such legislation in the
Senate. The Senate is drier than

MILFORD SHOULD HAVE
LARGER BOUNDARIES

The incorporated limits of the Town
of Milford have not been enlarged
since 1897, when the town was sur
veyed by man named johnson, and
his meets and bounds then made were
accepted as the boundary of Milford.
Now there is probably ten per cent of
the population of what should be Mil
ford, classified as rural districts of
the two counties. The time is right
to have the town enlarged and prop
er dignity of Milford be made known
to the world at large. The election
of the next Town Council of Milford.

ture welfare of Milford and it's busf-

ford, by and through a new system of
management of town affairs. First,

forcement of the laws of the town. as
well as the laws of the State. Better

INSTALL X-RAY AT HOSPITAL
APPARATUS AT EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
DONATED BY |. D. CAULK co.

The Milford Emergency Hospital
has just had one of the most up to the
minute X-ray machines installed in
what was formerly the board room at
the hospital.
Mr.. J. V. Feather and Mr.. George
Eckelman, of the Victor X-ray Cor
pOration, were in town three days last
week putting in the apparatus and
making test work with it.
The concensus of opinion among
the medical men of the hospital staff
was that the work done with the new
machine was among the best they had
ever seen.
The new equipment was made avail
able to the Milford Emergency Hos
pital through the generosity of the
l.. D. Caulk Company, and the COM
munity owes the Caulk Company a
debt of gratitude.
Doctor w. r. Pierce will be the
Roentgenologist in charge of the X
ray Department, and it is expected
that his experience with the military
forces of the United States during the
late war will prove of great value to
him. AS soon as the dark room is fin
ished, and the plates can be scientii-
cally developed, it is the intention of
DR.. Pierce to invite the medical fra
ternity from all the towns adjacent
to Milford to meet with him on an
evening to be announced later when he
will have Mr.. Feather, and some other
Of the Victor Company's expert dem
visit Milford for the pur-
pose of giving the medicos a talk and
on the value of the x
ray to community such as this.
A very interesting piece Of appa-
ratus which is included in the new
is the Potter-Bucky dia-
phragm. This is a little machine which
enables the doctor to show up the
gall bladder, pelvis bones,
and the spine in truly wonderful fash
on. These parts have always been
difficult to display and yet
nave been the ones the doctor most
frequently wished to study. With the
3ucky diaphragm, these difficult tasks

MiddletOwn's new theatre, "The Ev-

3 YEARS ON STOLEN
MOTOR CAR CHARGE
CLARENCE RATLEDCE OF WILMINGTON
SENTENCED WHEN HE PLEAD GUILTY
TO One INDICTMENT.
COURT REFUSES LENIENCY
JUDGE RICE SAYS UNLAWFUL BUSINESS
WHICH DEFENDANT WAS ENGAGED
In MUST STOP.

Clarence H. Ratledge, of Whining
ton, indicted by the grand jury on four
charges, two for having received stol-
en- automobiles and two for having in
his possession two cars whose num-
bers had been unlawfully removed, on
Tuesday in the New Castle County
Court of General Sessions, pleaded
guilty to one of the charges and was
sentenced to three years imprison-
ment and was ordered by the court to
pay restitution of $500 to Nathan
Worth, of Riverside, N. J., whose car
he admitted having received after it
had been stolen. He was also assess
ed the costs of prosecution.
At the request of Deputy Attorney
General Switzerland the other three
charges against Ratledge were retired
from the docket.
Ratledge pleaded guilty to the
charge of receiving the car stolen
from Nathan Worth, but pleaded not
guilty to the other three charges. His
attorney, Robert G. Herman, stated
that it was the first time Ratledge had
been before the court and pleaded for
mercy. The sentence imposed is the
maximum for the offense to which the
defendant pleaded guilty.
Deputy Attorney General Souther-
land told the court that Ratledge was
president of company operating un-
der the name of the Ratledge Motor
Company, and that the State had Sc
cured evidence in thirteen cases of
cars stolen from residents Of Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and New Jersey
that had been sold by Ratledge to
residents of New Castle county. He
asked that the maximum sentence be
imposed because of the extensiveness
Of the illegal transactions.
Mr.. Harman said the Worth car had
been returned and in the other three
cases Ratiedge had disclaimed know
ledge of the cars having been stolen.
Judge Rice, in imposing sentence,
refused to extend lem
ency, declaring that he could not see
Why the court should extend Ieniency
n view of the fact there were other /
charges against the defendant, and in |
riew Of the courts desire to cooper
Lte with other agencies in stopping
he unlawful business in which Rat
edge was engaged.
Ratledge, while under $500 bail on
he four charges preferred against
i'm, was later re-arrested on a
harge of receiving stolen automobiles
nd released on another bail bond of
1000 furnished by Edwin A. duRoss,
Tho later surrendered Ratledge to

SEEK BERTHS In SHO' LEAGUE
MILFORD AND DOVER FRANCHISES WILL
BEACTED UPON AT MEETING TODAY.

Baseball fans of the Eastern Shore
and Delaware will follow with interest
the meeting of the officials of the six
clubs of the Eastern Shore League in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms in
Salisbury, Md, today when the status
of the circuit for the season of 1928
will be decided. Due to the number
of other matters to be presented at
the session it is expected that election
of the League officials will be post
pOned until next month.
Supporters of the national pastime
at Milford and Dover, have been ac-
tive since the close of the league sea-
son on Labor Day in an effort to voice
the sentiment of the fans in regard
to entering the Shore Circuit. Fran
chises for the inception of organized
baseball in the two Delaware towns
have already been applied for, and it
is thought more than likely that the
league will open next year with eight
clubs.
For years rivalry between Milford
and Dover has been intense, crowding
the parks with fans and thus increas-
ing the revenue in the club treasures.
The entrance of these clubs, it is
thought, will tend to increase the fl
nancial assets of the league as
whole.
The salary limit of -1750 which was
a bugabOo for the clubs last year will
be topic for discussion. The officials
Of some of the clubs have already in
.imated that they would advocate it's
either to $4,000 or $21OO, and
hat the move would be practical if |
| good brand of ball is to exist on the |
peninsula. 1t is believed that the most |
Will at least go so far as to advocate
he present limit exclusive of the sal |
Try of the manager.
Another handicap that each club
last year was the short
'laying season, and this, with the
mall salary, did not produce the cal
bre player that would satisfy the ma
ority of the Shore fans. 1t is believ-
d that the officials of the various
lubs will be unanimous in the agree
nent to lengthen the season to 100
chedule games.
This would coincide with the play
ng season of the Blue Ridge League,
is pointed out, and would greatly
acilitate the consummation of ar
angements for the post season series
etween the champions of the two
eagues.
