JUNE DAY" AT OLD ST. ANNES
Many Motor to Historic Church Near
MiddletOwn For Services Sunday

Quite a number from Smyrna and
vicinity motored to Old st. Annes Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, Sunday to
attend the annual "June Day" SER
vices. The occasion marked the PIT
anniversary of the founding of the
Old Church. Morning and afternoon
services were held at the old church.
At the morning services at IL o'clock,
Bishop Philip Cook was the speaker,
while at the afternoon services at 2.30
o'clock, Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, of
Bethlehem, Pa, delivered the address.
Prior to the afternoon service, an
unexpected feature was the dedication
of bronze tablet in the church vesti-
bule, erected in honor of Richard
Lockwood, a vestryman at the church
from 1920 to 1875. While the congre-
cation stood uncovered under the
spreading branches of the churchyard
trees, Bishop Cook reverently dedicat-
ed the tablet to this man who, he said,
did so much to make the church what
it is in the hearts of the people.
A special musical program was ar
ranged. Rev. Percy Lowry Donagby,
rector of the church, was in charge of
the services. Offerings were taken
for the upkeep of the old church. Old
st. Anne's was founded in the year of
1705, and the present building was
erected in 1853. A notable fact in
connection with the old church is that
a portion of the old altar cloth, pre-
sented by Queen Anne, with the royal
initials A. r. worked in the corner,
presumably with her own fair hands,
is still preserved in the parish. The
silver communion service used was
presented in 1759 The first document
referring to the history of st. Anne's
parish bears date of September 1st
17O4, though the earliest records pre-
served by the church are the minute
books of 1903. The Rev. Philip Read
ing, rector from 1746 to 177S, was one
of the delegates to the general conven-
ton of 1889, and thus had share in
framing the constitution of the Am
erican Church and in the ratification
of the Book of Common Prayer. II
will be recalled that Mr.. Reading diff
fered with his flock in the stirring
days of 1776, and resigned his posi-
ton, which was not filed until his
death in 177S. The old church is still
in good condition and is kept in ex
cellent shape. Services are held once
a year, the new church in Middletowr
being built in 1872. Most of the de
tails are Colonial, and it is said tha
the bricks were brought from England
The grave stones and tablets numbe
among them some of Colonial ant
! Revolutionary days.

BIG CLASSES AT DELAWARE
Prospect the Freshmen Class Will
Number Over 1870 Students

Indications point to a record enter
ing classes at both Delaware College
and the Women's College of the Uni
versity of Delaware for next Septem-
ber. At Delaware College last week
67 young men took the entrance ex-
aminations and 80 young women at
the Women's College. This is the
larges number that has ever taken
these examinations at Delaware Col
lege in June. 1t has been the exper-
ience in the past that the number TAX
ing the examinations in June is gem
orally about one-half of the Freshman
class. If this average holds good this
year the Freshman class at Delaware
will number over 130. Entrance ex-
aminations will be held in the fall on
September 10 and 20. Of the 67 who
have already registered at Delaware,
62 are from Delaware and but from
outside of the state. An unusually
large number have registered from
Kent and Sussex counties

phone Exchange and the Town Hall.
A representative demonstrated to our
fremen Friday evening with a one
tenth of a horsepower siren. This
was connected up at the electric light
plant and could be heard distinctly at
the Hose Room. 1t is claimed with
the big 2-h. p. siren, it will wake the
town" and is sold with a guarantee to
be heard distance of one and a half
miles in all weather condition, probably
under favorable conditions it can be
heard as far as five or six miles. The
siren when it arrives will probably re-
place the weather vane and with
commanding position on top of the
bellfry can be heard for miles around.
The bell it is understood will be re
tanned as an auxiliary alarm should
at anytime the electric fail to work.
The siren will expedite alarms mater
tally as phone operator can set the
whistle off Immediately on receiving
notice. Then with another button at
the Town Hall independent of the
Telephone Exchange, there will be
every opportunity to give the alarm.
The siren is expected within three
weeks or month and is subject to a
30-day trial.

MIKE SKLUT BUILDING STORE
Is Tearing Down the Old J. b. FAIRIES
Property and Building Store Anew

Michael Sklut, Srnyrnas well-known
livestock and fur dealer who several
years ago bought and moved into the
Joseph B. FAIRIES store property, is
tearing it down and will erect a mod
ern 21a story frame building with all
conveniences. The property will be a
double store property part to be oc-
cupied by himself and part to be rent
ed. The stores will have a modern
front and will be a great improvement
to that side of the street. The FAIRIES
property is one of the oldest buildings
in Smyrna and it is remarkable to see
so much Of it in a good state of pre-
servation. Mr.. Sklut hopes to have
the property ready for occupancy this
fall. The improvement will add much
to the business section Of Commerce
street and may be followed by others.

PREMATURE APPLE SHIPMENTS
Is Giving Delaware a Black Eye in
New York and Temporary Ban

According to W. T. DerricksOn of
Dover, head of the Division of Mar
kets in Delaware, farmers of this
State stand to lose thousands of dol
lars on their apple crop this year un-
less some way is found at once to pre-
vent the shipment to outside markets
of ungraded, specked and sometimes
rotten fruit that has fallen from the
trees. The apple market has been so
demoralized, he says, by this shipping
of spoiled apples that the New York
health authorities have placed a ban
against receiving just at present any
apple shipments coming from Della
ware. If the farmers of Delaware
will be willing to wait another week
when the good, graded apples will be
ready for shipments, they will be able
to keep up the prices of their large
crop and will stop Delaware apples
from getting a "black eye" in the out
side world, Mr.. Derrickson explained.
If they persist in shipping apples that
have fallen from the trees and are not
fit for use after they reach the market
then it will mean that when the real
crop does come on, there will be no
market willing to receive it.

With one down, F. Kearn was hit by
a pitched ball and scored when Nc
Nitt drove the ball among the bushes
in center field. McNitt was out for
his failure to touch third base. Pat

safe on a muffed fly ball, and went to
second on a dropped ball. Moore
bunted safely and Patterson went to
third. Broadway singled and both
runners scored. Pleasanton doubled

Madison, Wis, June 16- Practically one-third of daily production of 1000 tons of news print paper may be saved and reused by means of a new de-inking process, Sidney D. Wells, engineer for the Forest Products laboratory here, de- clared today.
 MT. Wells said this was made possible through a years exper- !ment that revealed the collod- lal qualities of Bentanine, a volcanic ash found in large quantities in Wyoming. Or d1nary paper mill machinery is used in the process.
 MT. Wells suggested that a large saving not only in paper but also in transportation charg es could be accomplished thru the establishment of de-inkinp plants in large cities.

Poisoned Bait Successful Meaxure Against Cutvvorns

Cutworms can readily be con- trolled by the use of poisoned bait, the United States Depart ment of Agriculture has demon strated. This is the way to prepare and apply the poison:
 To l bushel of dry bran add 1 pound of white arsenic or Paris Green and mix thorough ly into a mash with 4 gallons of water,in which has been stirred one-half gallon of sor- ghum or other cheap molasses. This amount will be sufficient to treat or acres of culti vated crops. After the mash has stood for several hours scatter it in Jumps of about the size of marble over the fields where the injury is beginning to appear. Put it about the bases of the plants which have late in the day, so as to have the poison in place around the plants before night, when the cutworms are active. Apply a second time if necessary.
 CutwormS destroy hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars worth of crops every year throughout the United States. They especially at tack tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce and other vegetables that have been started under glass and transplanted. Cutworms some times appear in great numbers in the spring and early summer. and frequently, do severe in jury before their ravages are noticed.
 Their method of attack is to cut off the young plants near the ground. They are of large size and are voracious feeders, capable of destroying many plants in single night. Of ten they cut down more than they can devour.
