HANDCUFFED MAN IN SMYRNA
f. j. Smith of Austin, Texas,On a Two
Years Bicycle Tour of Country

Erwin j. Smith, young man of
twenty-fOur years, arrived in Smyrna
on a bicycle Friday under very un-
usual circumstances. The young man
was chained to his bicycle at Austin,
Texas, on December 26th, 1921, and
since that time has never had the
chains released. One chain is fasten-
ed about his neck and another chain
is handcuffed to each wrist. He left
the Texas city with the promise that
if he visited the capitol of every State
in the Union within two years he is to
receive a four year course in college.
When he arrived in Smyrna he was
sixty days ahead of schedule. The
young man is of pleasing personality
and a good talker. He had been in
Milford and from there came up 70
Dover to pay his respects to Governor
Denney and the State officials and
thence to Smyrna and on up the State.
While in Smyrna he amused a crowd
at the "Four Corners" by telling them
of his adventures. He had a supply
of his photographs which he sold.

Lowers Rate From S5 to IS Cents
At a adjourned meeting of Smyrna
Town Council, Thursday evening the
appeals to the assessment of Assessor
Harry Collins were heard and the few
granted only affected the list about

it was found that the tax rate could
be lowered from 85 cents on the hun
dred dollars to rs cents on the hun
dred, fact that will be pleasing to
many. Council will allow a discount
of 90 on all taxes paid on or before

Rev. Thomas Getz Hill with several
automobile loads, representing St.
Peters Sunday, attended on Sunday
afternoon the annual presentation
service of the Sunday schools of the
Episcopal Church of the Diocese of
Delaware held at St. Andrews Church
Wilmington. The banner was given
by Bishop Cook to the Sunday school
making the best showing, it was
awarded to the School of Emmanuel

delegates, a representative from every
class of every school, were crowded
into the church, eager to learn of the
result of their combined Lenten offer
ing. The bishop and ten of the clergy
of the diocese were in the chancel for
the service. The principal address
was made by Rev. DR.. Llewellyn n.
Galley, of Philadelphia, who has been
leader in the work among young
people and children in the church for
a number OF years. Inc SchooI OF
Immanual Church led the others with
a gift of 500, almost three times the
amount given last year and amount
/ ing to $4 for every member of the
school. The school of St. Thomas
( Church, Newark, was second and the
school of Christ Church, Delaware
City, third. St. Peters, Smyrna, stood
well but not enough to capture any
honor place. Frederick BringhursU,
treasurer of this fund, announced re-
suits and said that the total offering
was $4,027.42, an increase of more
than 81 1852 over the gifts of last year.
This money goes to the mission work

BUILDING MODERN COAL YARD
Warner w. Price Building Four Con-
crete SilOs With COnveyOrs

crete SilOs With COnveyOrs
Warner w. Price, Smyrna's well
known coal dealer, is at work on plans
that will make his coal yard the most
complete and up-tO-date yard south of
Wilmington. Four concrete silos of d
total capacity of $50 tons will be built
and completed by midsummer. The
tracks of the Smyrna Branch Railway
siding will be run into his yard. From
the coal cars coal will be delivered to
the silos by bucket conveyors of the
endless chain type. The cOnveyors
will be run by electric motors. With
this it will be possible to unload a car
in one and a half hours. From the
silos the coal is automatically meas
ured, screened and dropped into the
wagon in any quantity desired, thus
eliminating the long and tedious delay
of shoveling by hand. These silOs
will be locked when not in service, an
improvement that will not only, save
waste but will prevent stealing. In
years past the railroad bins have been
"relieved" of coal to the amount of
several thousand dollars, so much so
that recently Mr.. Price was obliged to
employ a watchman. Aside from pro-
tecting the coal, the silo installation
will be labor saver and enable the
work to be done by fewer men and
more expeditely. Mr.. Price will have
by next winter new shute wagons with
dump bodies in service. The ware
house in his yard has been raised or
a concrete foundation for railroad sid
ing service and the whole yard will
be enclosed by high fence.

FRUIT CROP DAMAGE SLIGHT
County Agent Bausman Before New
Castle County Farm Bureau, States
He Does Not Think Damage is $50

Earlier reports of the extent of the
damage to fruit crops in this section
by the recent frosts and cold weather
were much exaggerated, according TO
County Agent R. o. Bausman, of New
ark, in report to the New Castle
County Farm Bureau at its meeting
Saturday afternoon in the directors
room in the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Company's building in Will
mingtOn. A personal inspection Of
several farms Mr.. Bausman said,
showed that only Is per cent of the
fruit had been injured in New Castle
County. In Kent the situation is
even better. Saturdays meeting was
the regular session for May and the
last the committee will hold until next
September. Vice-President c. P.
Dickey of Stanton, presided. P. f..
Pleasanton, of Macdonough, was elect
ed chairman of the grange elevator
committee, to succeed j. d. Reynolds,
of Middletown, who resigned owing to
the great demands on his time as
chairman of the State Fertilizer Com
the farmers who had received their
supply of fertilizers through the state
pool this spring were entirely salts
fed with the quality of material and
prices paid, and resolution was pass
ed providing that the executive COM
mittee of the State Grange meet with
the executive committee of the State
Federation of Farm Bureaus to work
out a plan for cooperative purchas-
ing of fertilizers. Mr.. Bausman re-
ported that experiments had proved
vaccination to be a practical remedy
and cure for roup in chickens. Serum
he said, can be secured free from Lht
State Board of Agriculture at New
ark. The Boys and Girls Pure-BreC
Dairy Cattle Club, it was announced
through an arrangement with the 10
cal banks, will soon be able to own hi
or her own heifer from a carload o
pure-bred stock personally selected
by Mr.. Bausman. A junior dair!
cattle judging contest will be held a

BOAT LINE AND CREAMERY FOR

BY G. d. YOUNG, SON OF OWNER
YOUNG'S MILLION DOLLAR PIER
Leipsic Wharf Leased and Work Was
Started Monday on A New Cream
ery-MOvement For Good Roads

The development of a daily boat line
to Philadelphia and the erection of
new cremery at Liepsic is causing
great deal of elation on the part of
the tOwns-peOple and inhabitants of
the surrounding country. The farm
ers, especially, are delighted over the
prospects of having all their produce,
except grain, purchased. The new
development is backed by George D.
Young, son of the owner of the
YOung's Million Dollar Pier, Atlantic
City. The plan as outlined by Mr..
Young is to establish a boat line be-
tween Leipsic and Philadelphia He
has secured a lease or the wharf at
Leipsic for five years and work of
putting it in shape started Monday.
Work also started Monday on new
creamery which will be completed
within thirty days. Mr.. Young is in
terested in a chain of nearly 10C
stores, and Delaware fruits and vege-
tables can be disposed of by him to
these stores. He was at Leipsic sew
eral days last week making a survey
of the situation and inclines to the
belief that the Leipsic route to the
Delaware Bay and River affords Z
better opportunity than some othel
places suggested. With the openins
of good roads in Delaware and it i!
hoped some day a good stone rOa,
from Smyrna to Leipsic to Dover, th'
boat proposition at Leipsic will TAX
on an impetus worth while.
