the Herd Sire of the University at
Madison at the State Guernsey sale

be one of the best purchases made at
the sale, as this sire has long line

mean a great boost to the Guernsey

SUN CROSSES EQUATOR
AND FALL BEGINS TODAY

Today the period of day and night
will be of equal length and the beau
tifuI weather of the Fall season,
which is always the most delightful of
the entire year, will begin and con-
tinue until after Thanksgiving, which
is only two months distant. While the
weather will be cooler and the swell
.tering days of summer will be only
memories, it is not likely that killing
frosts will come until well on in Oc-
tober.
It is supposed that the equinoctial
period is a storm period-but, the
weather bureaus and students of wea-
ther conditions in late years, say that
the euuinoctial period has nothing to
do with the storms which come at the
changing of the seasons.
However, it is the period of the year
when the frost is on the pumpkin"
and the corn is in the shock" and
there is a general preparation for
closing up the work season generally.
With cooler weather wheat sowing |
will be general, and when the corn is
husked, and the fodder and provender |
stored for the winter feeding of stock,
the farmer takes account of the re-
suits.

STOLEN AUTOS RECOVERED

The two automobiles which were
stolen from the streets of Milford re-
Gently have been recovered and re-
turned to their owners. The car own
ed by Harvey Coverdale, which was
stolen from in front of the Chronicle
Office on Saturday evening, September
1st, was recovered when "Tiz" Dono-
van was arrested, charged with hav-
ing stolen it. The young man was
taken to Georgetown.
The car, owned by William Robin
son, manager of the Plaza Theatre in
Milford, which was stolen on Satur-
day evening, September 9Th, was re-
covered and returned to Mr.. Robinson
last week. This car was taken by
Theodore Murdick, formerly of Mil
ford Neck, and was driven by him to
Gardentown, a small village, a few
miles from Doylestown, Pa. Here he
was arrested and taken to DOylestown
jail. Mr.. Robinson was notified of the
arrest, and he, in company with State |
Detective Wharton, of Dover, went to |
last Friday and secured |
he automobile. Murdick was held by
he Pennsylvania authorities to await
he arrival of requisitiOn papers from
Delaware. He will be brought back
md given a trial before the Delaware
courts,

COMPLAIN OF PACKAGES BEING
STOLEN FROM AUTOMOBILES

For several weeks past complaint
has been made by persons driving to
Milford on Saturday night to shop
that bundles and other packages left
by them in their automobiles have
been stolen. This condition of affairs
is bad and the local authorities are
taking strenuous efforts to break up
the nuisance. The authorities are of
the OpOnion that this work is being
done by young men who come to Mil
ford Saturday evenings from the ru-
raj districts, and efforts will be made
to catch the guilty parties. Their be-
lief that the culprits are not residents
of the town is strengthened by the fact
that no reports of cars being bother
ed during the week nights, other than
Saturday nights, are received. If the
nuisance is perpetrated by persons
from out of town, the police should
make short work of them, and if boys
from town are doing the work they
Will be easily caught.

STATES BIG APPLE CROP
BUMPER OUTPUT TOTALS 10000 BAR
RELS, STATISTICS SHOW.

In a report issued Tuesday, the
United State Department of Agricul-
ture estimates that the apple crop in
the State of Delaware up to Septem-
Der 1, totalled 1000 barrels. One
barrel is the equivalent of three boxes.
The department estimates that the
total apple crop of the United States
up to that date was approximately
207 100000 bushels, as compared with
9S,10OO,000 bushels for the correspond
ing period in 1921
The commercial crop of the United
States is expected to amount to 32,-
100000 barrels against the 1921 crop
of 21,200,000 barrels, and 33,905,OOO
barrels in 1920.
The condition of apples in Maryland
on September 1 was reported as 60.
At the same time last year the con-
dition was reported as Is. This would
indicate that the total crop this year
is four times as large as that of last
year. AS the ten-year average of con-
ditiOn on September 1 is given as 63,
the crop of 1922 would appear to be
about per cent smaller than the av-
erage Maryland crop of the past ten
years. In Delaware condition was re-
ported as 88. Ten-year average of
on September 1 is 81, so
the crop this year appears to be about
IL per cent larger than the average !
Delaware apple crop of the past ten |
years.

REPUBLICANS HOLD MEETING

The Republicans of the First Elec-
ton District, of the First Representa-
tive District, of Sussex county, held a
meeting in the Armory Hall, in Mil

ford, who has filed his name for the
nomination of Levy Court Commits
siOner was unanimously endorsed by
the meeting as the choice of Cedar
Greek, for this Office. For State Sen
atOr from the First Senatorial Dis
trict, Harry Vivian, of Bridgeville,

names were suggested as asking for
the endorsement of the meeting, for
Representative from the First District.
They were William V. Sipple, ST., and
Edward Knotts, both of Milford. Mr.
Sipple won the endorsement by a vote
of 33 to 21. ClessOn Brigham was
endorsed by the meeting
as the candidate for Inspector. An eff
fort was made by some of the ladies
present to have the meeting endorse
Mrs. Lena Anderson, of Glendale, for
the office of Recorder of Deeds. The
fact that Cedar Greek was asking for
the support of Mr.. Davis for Levy
Court Commissioner, however, caused |
he meeting to vote against endorsing |
my other candidates until after all
lad filed, who intended to file.

Division of Markets

Delaware has large crop of fancy
Grimes Golden apples and now is the
time for consumers to buy in sufficient
quantities to meet their requirements,
under ordinary conditions these apples
will keep until November, and from a
commercial standpoint the crop will
be over in about 10 days.
Delaware Grimes Golden apples are
among the very best apples produced,
both for eating and cooking, and in
some localities throughout the State
the farmers are unable to sell their
crop and this luscious golden fruit is
going to waste.
Dealers are urged to handle these
apples on the very lowest possible
margin of profit, in order to stimulate
the demand and to get them to the
at the very lowest price
possible. Housewives are urged to
buy by the bushel, school time is here
let the children take some to school
to eat at recess, there is no better
food for them, for grown-ups, eat ap-
pies in the evening before going to
bed, and avoid morning headaches.

CURIOUS OLD BOTTLE

In clearing out the garret of an old
home in North Milford, John Curry
came across an old quart fiat flask
glass bottle, which is something of
a curiosity. On one side of the glass
is profile of General Washington,
surrounded by the words, Father of
His Country" On the opposite is a
profile of General Taylor, encircled
with the words-"General Taylor New
er Surrenders." The glass is of a semi
clear grade and the workmanship is
excellent. 1t was made at the Dyott-
vile Glass Works, Philadelphia, which
is disclosed by the letters blown in the
glass. John Curry has been offered S5
by curiosity dealer for the bottle
but thinks that possibly it may be of
greater value to some collector.
