BIG FARM FIRE NEAR SEAFORD
Earl Tull Loses Head of Horses and
Mules, Cows and Tons of Feed

Mules, Cows and Tons of Feed
Fire, early Thursday morning, de-
stroyed the large barn on the farm of
Earl Tull, at Chapel Branch, one mile
west of eaford. At the time of the
fire the barn contained all of Mr.TulPs
stock, ten head of which We're burned
to death, including four cows, two
calves and two mules. A third mule
was burned so badly that it will likely
die. The remaining stock, four hogs
and one mule were saved. Hundreds
of tons of winter feed, including a big
lot of hay and practically all of his
farming implements were burned. The
fire was discovered by Mr.. TulPs
mother, Mrs. George w. Morgan, who
was awakened by the cracking of the
flames. An alarm was sounded and a
telephone message sent to Seaford for
help. When the Seaford fire company
arrived the barnNwas mass of flames
They did good work in saving Mr..
Tul's residence, located near the barn
his windmill and other small build
ings. The origin of the fire is mys-
terry. Mr.. Tull is of the opinion it
was of an incendiary origin. He es-
Inmates his loss at over $4,000, with
only $1,050 insurance.

1928 AUTO TAGS ARE READY
They Are Raised White Letters On a
Background of Jett Black

Delaware's automobile license tags
for the year 1928 are being distributed
The license figures are in white, rails
ed against a jet black background,
making them readily discemable at a
considerable distance. Approximate
ly 24,5O0 tags were issued during the
past year from the office of Secretary
of State Benson in Dover, and it is
anticipated that the number during
the coming year will not only pass the
25,OO0 mark, but may tip $4,000 or
more.

A FEELING OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR. Klmers Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every bot
tie of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
troubles
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. T., for
sample bottle. When writing be sus

AS the chicks grow they need more
room. 1t does not pay to let them
crowd.
Two-year-old hens had better be
sent to the market. They seldom pay
for their feed If kept over the third
season.
Beware Of musty, mouldy, sour, or
decayed food. 1t Is sure to cause
trouble.
Tough grass is Of no value as
green food. Better SOW some quick
growing crop.
Feed hoppers greatly reduce the
work. If they are kept filed, the
chicks will never 60 hungry.
Buttermilk is one of the best feeds
for young chicks. 1t can be fed when
the chick is first Matched, while the
more solid feeds cannot safely be fed
until the chick is so to 60 hours old.
In selecting Ancona chicks, some as
sert the brown backs" are the result
of foreign blood, and may lay tinted
eggs. Again, others prefer these
brown backs" as having greater vi.
tally.
The prices being paid for hens
should warrant a very close culling
of overfat hens and those inclined to
be broody. Overfat hens, as a rule
are poor layers and often succun,b to
the summer heat.

EARLY MATCHED FOWLS BEST
PuIIets Mature So That They Begin
to Lay in Fall When Fresh
Egg Supply Is Low.

Every fall hens take a vacation. In
doing so they have very important
business on hand. TypicallJ feminine
by nature, they insist upon having a
new dress each fall During their va
cation they are engaged In shedding
their old plumage and in growing new,
and their energy is SO occupied in this
way that they lay few or no eggs.
The process Of mott or changing their
plumage takes at least three months
on the average. and 1t Is due to this
three months vacation that the supply
of fresh eggs is so scarce during the
fall and winter. Early Matched pull
lets mature so that they begin to lay
In the fall and early winter, and 1t is
upon these early Matched oullets that
the poultry keeper must depend for
his supply Of eggs during the time the
old hens are melting and resting from
their labors as egg producers. So If
you want eggs when the old hens have
quit laying, be sure that you hatch
early and have nice bunch Of early
matched pullets coming along to sup
ply the eggs at that time.

that the organs are receiving more
blood for their very rapid growth; as
they receive more blood the danger of
an operation is greater, for the artery
carving the blood to the testicle Is
larger and in more danger of being
ruptured.
Therefore, if you wish to operate at
the perfect time watch the growth of
the comb and wattles; when they are
just showing red is the best and
proper time then there will be little
danger to the life of the Bird less pain
and no setback to speak of; while
if you wait until the comb is bright
red and the wattles hang considerably
there will be more danger of death
and more slips"

Etymolooists Pretty Well Agreed That
Bogus" Had Its Origin There
In the Year 1927,

After many years debates by gram
marians and etymologists over the
origin Of the word bogus" used as
synonym for counterfeit" investi-
cation has brought to light that the
word was first used by Ebert B.
Howe in the gainesville, Ohio, Tele-
graph, issue Of July 6, 1927.
That the Telegraph first used the
word is ascertained by the New Eng
land dictionary. which also states that
the Telegraph used q capital "B" in
cpelling the word at that time, for
the following reason:
Bogus" is believed to be a corrup-
ton Of the name Of q Borghese who
IL said to have worked of q great
amount of counterfeit bills on the in

Grace looked Ip, blushing excitedly.
You will?" she cried.
"Yes, soon"
But. though this promise meant so
much to Grace, it seemed at once to

attached to the front ioorknob.
Grace read the note sadly.
Dear Grace" the note read, I'm

This, then, was the ending OF her

Depressed and unhappy, Grace
opened the house and went through
the morning tasks.
How, she wondered, could woman
quarrel with a husband who had pro-
vfded her with such a dear home?
How could any woman ever quarrel
with any man who lifted her life out
of nothingneSs into something worth
while?
The morning passed quickly. At
noon Grace sat on the davenport In
the now perfectly furnished living
room and tried to make believe that
the house was her own.
A step on the veranda interrupted
her. A man entered the room-a
young, handsome, prosperous looking
man.
Grace jumped at once to her feet.

the man. Then, to Grace'S surprise,
he laughed. "Why, she's not my wife.

"Your sister," gasped Grace.

She made for the door.
"Don't go-there's q lot I want to

"Oh. I must, must" she ex-
claimed.
Through the door she ran. Her
