LAUREL SCHOOL PUBLISHES n
A LIVE SCHOOL PAPER

The first issue of "The Laurel School
Bellman, an eight page school paper,
has been delivered to the pupils of the
Laurel High School from the press of
The Milford Chronicle Publishing
Company. The newspaper is more than
a credit to the staff of the Bellman,
and reflects credit to the thriving
Sussex county town. The first page
of the paper carries a picture of the
handsome new school building, re-
Gently completed at Laurel. Articles
pertaining to the school life of the
town are well written and interesting
to the reader. The merchants of the
town have cO-operated in making the
paper success by placing advertise
ments with the paper. Taken as a
whole the paper is one of the finest
issues of a school paper that The
Chronicle has ever printed for any
school. The Laurel pupils have con-
tracted with The Chronicle for an
issue each month during the entire
school year. Keep up your good work
children, and make the second issue
even better than your first.

THOUSANDS MAKE
MERRY ON HALLOWEEN
MILFORD WAS The GATHERING PLACE
FOR PEOPLE FOR MILES AROUND.
ALL ENJOYED THEMSELVES.
SPEAKING A BIG FEATURE
R.R. KENNEY AND CHIEF ENGINEER BUCK
OFHIGHWAY DEPARTMENT TELLOF
RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED.

AS announced last week, Milford
celebrated Halloween and the COM
pletiOn of the Harrington-MilfOrd road
in a fitting manner on Tuesday even
ing with a parade, followed by speak
ing. Thousands of persons filled the
business section of the town and join
ed in the merry-making. Promptly at
eight o'clock the parade started to
move, but last minute arrangements
called for a different line of march
than that announced last week. AS a
result of this hundreds of persons who
waited along the announced line of
march did not see the parade. This
was the only disappointing feature of
the evenings festivities. The display
sent here by the State Highway De-
partment was instructive and educa-
tional. 1t showed very clearly the ac-
complishments of that department in
giving the Diamond State the best
road system of any State in the Union.
Pictures of roads before work was
started on them, and the same section
of road after work had been complet-
ed showed better than words can de-
scribe Just what has been done to
make travelling a pleasure in all Sec
tions of the State.
The Harrington and Glendale Fire
Companies, with their apparatus add
ed much to the parade. Frederick sent
an excellent addition to the affair, and
the comments heard on the streets on
the appearance of the Frederick
school children's floats were very fat
tering. A float owned by Thad Wind
nf 1nn
Hotel, was possibly the greatest single
hit of the evening. This was in the
form of an old log cabin, on the front
porch of which were Thad and Harry
Jackson, dressed as old cOlOred man
and woman and both playing banjOs
and singing. Both are past masters
at the art of banjo playing. Other
negroes were in the cabin, and attach
ed to the rear Of the float was trail
er carrying a number of fox hounds.
On all sides of the cabin were skins
Of various animals. Many fraternal
who we're expected did !
not make their appearance, but the !
parade was a credit, notwithstanding |
he disappointment of non-appear- |
lnce of many who had promised to |
AXE part therein.
Following the parade public speak
ng was enjoyed by large crowd. Mr..
Joseph E. Holland acted as chairman
# this meeting and introduced Mr.. R.
r. Kenney, of Dover, who talked of
he benefits of good roads and con-
,ratulated the State on it's excellent
'oad building plans. He was follow
ID by Chief Engineer Buck of the
Highway Department, who told of the
and plans of his de-
,artment.
The crowd was one of the most or
lerly ever in Milford, and the police
eport no arrests in the evening, un-
il well after midnight, when young
nan was arrested for attempting to
teal an automobile.

The regular meeting of the Milford
New Century Club was held Monday
October 80, with the president, Mrs. j.

very interesting report on Child Wei
fare.

ley on Saturday, November 4th. 1t is
hoped as many as possible will go,

An every member canvas of the club
was made last week during the cam
paign for the Library Memorial Fund.
Each member made some contribution,
which made it possible for us to turn
over to the chairman the sum of
$63.10. This also places the Milford
New Century Club on the Honor Roll
of the Delaware Memorial Library.
Mrs. Charles Hubert, Miss Margaret
Grier and Miss Mary Grier were I'M
animously elected to club member
ship.
The meeting was then put in the
hands of the chairmen of entertain
ment, Mrs. Elizabeth Riggs and Mrs.
Hester Bunstein. A Halloween playlet
entitled, "Tardy Tom and the Spirits"
was then given in costume by Tardy
Tom, Mrs. Geo. Macklin; his mother,
Mrs. Carl Colell; Queen Nab, Mrs.
Disston w. Jacobs; good fairies, Mrs.
Walter Barrett and Mrs. William War
ren; three witches, Mrs. A. D. Mar
shall, Mrs. Wallace McFaul and Mrs.
S. G. Evans, Jr.; goblins, Mrs. Has
well Pierce, Miss Betty Varney and
Miss Ann Deputy. Pianist, Mrs. Ed
ward Hurley.
Each part was well taken and every
costume was appropriately selected.
The room was darkened and suitably
decorated, in fact, the spooky spirit of
prevailed during the en-
tire show.
Mrs. D. W. Jacobs, accompanied by
Mrs. E. T. Hurley, then favored the
club with very pretty solo.
Refreshments were then served,
Of delicious sandwiches,
coffee and apples.

WHO WILL DO THIS FOR MILFORD

Samuel H. Maynard, of Whining
ton, has subscribed $1,000 for con-
verting the old Methodist ceme-
terry into a public playground.-A
news item from Smyrna.
Milford needs a playground" much
more than Smyrna, or any other town
in lower Delaware-but every sugges-

FINE POULTRY EXHIBIT
AT The GRANGE FAIR
GROWERS FROM ALL PARTS OF SUSSEX
AND KENT COUNTIES COMPETED AT
LOCAL FAIR LAST WEEK.
A FINE DISPLAY OF APPLES
LOCAL FRUIT GROWERS ENTERED THEIR
PRODUCTS AND MUCH FAVORABLE
COMMENT WAS HEARD.

The Annual Grange Fair given last
week by the Milford Grange was de-
cided success, both financially and as
an educational feature. The fair,
which was held on Friday and Satur-
day of last week, dew hundreds of
| persons from all sections of lower
Kent and upper Sussex counties. The
displays were larger this year than
last, and the poultry, fruit and farm
produce on exhibition were even fin
er than in past years. The exhibit Of
poultry was especially noteworthy.
Numerous exhibitors from all parts of
the two lower counties had birds on
display. Mr.. Langshaw, a National
Poultry Association judge, acted as
judge for the poultry of the exhibition
class, while Frank Vadakin, of the
North American Egg Laying Contest,
was judge for the utility classes. The
decisions made by the judges were
very satisfactory to those persons who
had entered poultry.
One of the pleasing features Of the
Grange Fair was the excellent din
ners and suppers served by the ladies
of the grange each day. This feature
proved large drawing card, and add
ed much to the financial success of the
affair. The display of fruit, especially
apples, was far above the ordinary.
The plates of fruit on display COM
pared more than favorably with fruit
shown in much larger fairs, while the
fancy work booth was very attrac-
tive part of the bazaar.
The awards made by the poultry
judges follows:

DEADLY NEW GUINEA FEUDS
Gent Doctrine Calling for
Blood for Blood.

Long years ago, one Of Payeye's an
cestors had committed murder. MUIR
der in New Guinea is not crime On
the contrary, man is not considered
a man until he has shed human blood
He must kill somebody, be It a strong
man or decrepit old woman or lit
tie helpless child before he obtains the
right to wear the feather headdress,
and until he has that mark Of man
hood he may not marry, Merlin Moore
Taylor writes in Asia Magazine. 49,
Well, Payeye's ancestor, who lived
IN a village perched on a mountain
peak, had ambushed citizen Of viii
lage on neighboring peak, and dis
patched him with club. That night
there was great feast at Payeye's
village. And while the body Of the
victim was being skinned and the. LAST
Ing stones we're being made hot strong
lunged men shouted the achievement
Of Payeye's. ancestor from the .tiptop
Of their peak.
The relatives of the dead man, stunE
by the taunts, plotted revenge. The
murder was stain upon their pride
not because it was q murder, but be-
cause, as they knew, the dead mans
bones would be thrown to the m0ngrel
dogs that infested the village. That
stain could be wiped out only by the
shedding Of more blood. The victims
relatives did not know just who had
committed the crime, but there could
be no doubt about the village he hailed
from, SO they directed their "pay-back''
against the village. -. - 4...,>s-
That was all very many years ago.
For generations, the enmity had per
sisted, until by the time Payeye was
fifteen there was only handful left in
his village. Since they were no longer
able to Withstand their enemies, the
villagers scattered to neighboring
friendly villages, leaving their own
matched huts and bamboo barbados
to rot and fall to pieces. The ex-
plorer in. New Guinea comes upon
traces Of countless villages that have
been wiped out, like Payeye's village,
by long and relentless feuds.
OF hisown immediate family, Pay
eye was the sole survivor. He had no
father or older brother to counsel him
and to initiate him into the duties Of
manhood. So far % hs knew, he had
only one bloc -relation In the world
his mothers brother. 1teinter. IL VII
