OPPOSE CHANGE
In SCHOOL LAWS
In Response To Representative Pet
tyjOhn's Request, Milford Grang-
ers Go On Record.

The Milford Grange last Saturday
entertained Fruitland Grange. During
the course of the meeting Representa-
tive Pettyjohn, of the First Represen-
tative District of Sussex county, in
which district South Milford is locat-
ed, requested the grangers to give an
expression as to their desires in pub
lie school matters. The grangers
went on record as being opposed to
any drastic change in the present
school laws of the State. A return
to the old system, they considered,
would be a backward step. Represen-
tative Pettyjohn was also told that
any backward legislation would be
opposed by the grangers. In regard to
the suggestions that the salaries of
the school authorities be slashed, the
of the local grange opposed
the proposed cuts in salaries. During
the course of the discussion it was
stated that high school teachers in
New York in many instances receive
a larger salary than that paid to H.
V. Holloway, State Commissioner of
of Delaware. The action Of
the grangers is that of the large ma
jority of thinking people of the two
lower counties.

MILFORD GRANGE

The Owls Hall was crowded to ca
pacity last Saturday. Although many
extra chairs were brought in to acco-
modate the crowd, even then some
persons had to stand Fruitland
Grange of Camden, came down to visit
us and many of its members entertain
ed by giving fragments of Grange His
tory.
The representative in the legislature
from Cedar Greek hundred was pres
ent, while the grange went on record
as favoring a continuation of voca-
tional training in the public schools.
At the close the ladies refreshed
everyone with hot coffee, ice cream
and about seventeen different kinds of
cake
Next Saturday the grange will de-
eide whether it wants to join Sussex
County Pomona or remain with Kent.
This is very important question, one
that will affect us for all time and it
is absolutely necessary that everyone
be present to help decide this ques-
ton.
There is a probability that next Sat
urday's meeting will be held in the
new hall.

VOCATIONAL COURSES
AND FARM PROBLEMS
Educators Provide Special Training
For Keeping DeIaware's Youth
Away From The Cities.
HELPING SOLVE CONDITIONS
Boys Earn Money For Self And Help
Farmers-GirIs Make Clothes
And Do Home Work.

Delaware school authorities think
they have helped solve the problem of
keeping the boys on the farm from
leaving home and seeking unsatisfac
tory unemployment in the big city,
through the work of vocational train
ing course in the rural high schools
throughout the State.
Until four years ago the aim Of most
Delaware boys possessed of ambition
and whose father happened to be a
farmer, was to seek a white-collar job
in some big city. AS a result family
circles were broken up and the boy
or girl usually returned in few years
dissatisfied and discontented and with
habits that not only shocked the par
ents but were a disgrace to himself.
Now, things have changed. Instead of
leaving the farm after he has COM
pleted his high school course, boys
who have taken the vocational train
ing courses are returning to their IA
Tiers farms where they are either as
suming a major portion in the opera
tion of the farm, cultivating the crop
and harvesting the results, or else are
planning to engage in modern ways
ldIulu5 LUZ tuCul6C4NGSs
Seventeen hundred boys, who in the
last four years have taken vocational
training courses in farming, have in
their spare time at home raised crops
for which they have received $4,000.
According to statistics of the State
Board of Education, 76 per cent of
these boys have selected to remain at
home on the farm.
Norman Locates, Of Laurel, a sopho- |
more in the high school, who has gone
in for poultry raising, directed the ac-
tivities of 800 white leghorn chickens,
and obtained net profit of $500 in
the first year from the work Of his
servants. That is but one il
lustration of many where the young
men of Delaware, raised upon farms
and whose fathers are permitting
them to obtain a high school educa-
tion, are realizing the money that may
be made in working a farm along
scientific methods.
The girls of Delaware, through
nome economics classes, have been
just as successful as the boys in fit
ing themselves to become more valu-
lble as a home maker and much more
If business making adjunct to their
,uture husbands.

BOTH THEATRES CROWDED
MONDAY And TUESDAY EVS.

The movie war in Milford, as a re-
suit of which interest in both Milford
playhouses has been greatly increased,
resulted in the largest crowds ever to
attend theatres in Milford. At the
Plaza Theatre packed house greet
ed the Love of Pharaoh" each even
ing on Monday and Tuesday. At the
Palace Theatre, packed houses like
wise witnessed ''Manslaughter" on
Monday and Tuesday. In fact, it is
said that about $500 persons visited
the two amusement places on Monday
evening, and about 2200 on Tuesday
evening. The contest started when
an agreement was entered into by the
management of both theatres to give
the house playing to the largest ca
pacity on Monday and Tuesday even
ing the exclusive rights for a we'll
known manufacturers pictures. Be
fore the contest had proceeded very
far, however, claims and counter
claims were made by both manage
ments that the agreement was being
violated by their opponent parties. Re
gardless of the merits of either claim,
it is certain that the fight developed
into a warm one, and the result was
large crowds at both theatres both ev-
enings. Interest certainly has been
created by the row.

DR.. HOEY DIES AFTER
A LINGERING ILLNESS
Prominent Frederica Physician And
Democratic State Chairman A
Victim Of Sleeping Sickness. =

Dr. William F. Hoey, of Frederick,
died at the Homeopathic Hospital, in
Wilmington, at $40 o'clock Thursday
morning, January 25th, following an
illness of several weeks. AS the
Chronicle goes to press arrangements
for the funeral have not been made;
but it is probable that services will be
held on Sunday afternoon.
At the time of his death DR.. Hoey
was chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, and up to the time of his
last illness had been taking a promi-
nent part in the affairs of his party.
He had been active in outlining some
of the policies for presentation to the
present legislature. DR.. Hoey was
man who ranked high among the
ablest in the State of Delaware. On
matters of public welfare he always
took the broad view, and was invari-
ably aligned with those forces work.
ing for the betterment of conditions
in matters civic. On educational mat
ters he aligned himself with those
persons advocating the best facilities
and advantages to be had for the chill
dren of the State. He was broad
minded, and thought in large units.
Petty local affairs were overlooked
when considering matter of state
wide or nationwide scope. In the
death of DR.. Hoey, the town of Fred
erica has lost her leading citizen. A
physician in the town, he
had built up large business; and his
following was large. He was af1liat
ed with the Milford Emergency Hospi-
tai as one Of it's staff of physicians,
and worked hard for the success of
the institution. He was a past master
of Temple Lodge, No. 8, A. F. & A. NJ,
of Milford.
A few weeks ago DR.. Hoey suffered
from an attack of influenza from
which he did not recover as rapidly as
he should have. When his condition
was such that he could travel, he was
taken to the Homeopathic Hospital in
and went under the treat
ment of DR.. Frank F. Pierson, of that
city. His condition grew gradually |
worse, until an ailment very much |
sleeping sickness devel-
Oped. This disease is very rare in this
but in the tropics it is a very
disease. 1t is caused there
by the sting of the tsetse fly.
DR.. Hoey is survived by his widow,
.wo sons and one daughter. One of the
boys, William, is in business in Will
The younger son, Orville, is
1t present a student at the University
If Delaware His daughter, Mary, re-
sided with her parents at Frederick.
Dr.. Hoey celebrated his 61st birthday

EXPECT LARGE INCREASE
in THE CANNING OUTPUT

A large increase in the output of
the Gamers of Delaware is expected
during the coming season and plans
to deal with the situation were dis
cussed at a luncheon meeting of the
raw products committee of the Tri-
State Gamers Association in the
Hotel DUPONT at noon Thursday, Jan
uary 18th.
Gamers flom New Jersey and Mary
land were present and plans were
made for close cooperation between
the Gamers of the three states.
The distribution of $1,000 recently
appropriated by the association for
demonstration work this year was al
so discussed. A. D. ROdebaugh, farm
agent for Cecil county, Maryland, by
request of the association, induced 100
Cecil county growers to cooperate
last year in raising plants in a cen
trail bed, which yielded eight tons per
acre.
F. A. Torsh of Maryland, presided
at the meeting and other committee
men present were: Lucius Hires, Ell
mer o. Wagner and John Hall, repre-
senting New Jersey; H. L. Cannon, C.
L. Reckord and George H. Draper,
representing Delaware, and ]. M.
Shriver and Orren Salisbury repre-
senting Maryland. others in attend
ance included William Silver, former
president of the association; C. M.
Dashiell, secretary of the association;
T. B. Symons, director of the agricul-
ture station of the University of Mary
land; Director McCue and Professor
Spence of the agricultural station of
the University of Delaware; A. D.
and w. R. Ballard.

ALL BUSINESSES
MUST KEEP RECORDS

AS result of numerous inVestiga-
tions of individual businesses during
the past year which have disclosed an
absolute lack of permanent business
records, Collector of U. S. Internal
Revenue John w. Herring has explain
ed the requirements of the law in this
respect. in accordance with the advice
of the Commissioner at Washington.
Sections 1900 and 1903 of the Reve-
nue. Act Of 1921 require every taxpayer
carrying on the business of producing,
manufacturing, purchasing or selling
any commodities or merchandise, ex-
cept the business of growing and SELL
ing products of the soil, shall for the
purpose of determining the amount of
income, keep permanent books of ac-
count or records. These records must
include inventories as are necessary
to establish the amount of gross in
come and deductions, credits and
other information required for the in
come tax return.
The number of businesses failing to
keep any accurate records is surpris-
ing, and results in serious charges in
some cases. Taxpayers are now direct
ed to maintain permanent records
which will most clearly reflect income
during the current year, or pay tax
on an amount arrived at by deputy
collectors by most careful estimates.
This decision on the part of Commits
sioner Blair, approved by Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon is far-reaching in
accomplishing the better execution of
the Revenue Act, and it is believed
will eliminate numerous intentional or
eyasions, through the
of permanent records.

TOMATO GAMERS DO
NOT AGREE ON PRICE
One Firm Contends That Twenty
Five Cents A Basket VIII Be
Prevailing Price.
PROSPERITY SEEMS in SIGHT
Another Concern Takes Exception
And Holds For Twelve Dollars
A Ton As The Rate.

A writer from Easton, which is in
Talbot county, one of the most veal
thy counties of the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland, writes that prosperity
seems in sight of the farmers of that
county, and especially those growing
tomatoes. 1t is predicted that the COM
ing season the prices the Gamers will
pay will be twenty-five cents a basket.
At least this is the prospect put for
ward by the John S. Mcdaniel, canned
goods brokers, Easton. This company
sells thousands of cases of canned to-
matoes monthly, and is familiar with
conditions.
In a circular letter issued by this
firm is found this:
1--WE are apprehensive that any eff
fort to hold the price down to $12 per
ton may not prove wise, and it must
be kept in mind that a price schedule
that brings easy times to the farmers
means a state of general prosperity
throughout all our rural sections. 1t
is likewise well to have in mind that
the packer who insists too strenuously
on low price for raw stock cannot
consistently complain of the buyer
who displays genuine bourbon spir-
it,"
William Silver & Co., Aberdeen,
Md, have sent to Talbot packers an
estimate cost sheet of packing No. 2
for 1928, wherein they indi-
rectly disagree with the letter issued
by the Mcdaniel Company. The Silver
Company contend for $12 ton rate.
In spite of the figures advanced by
the Silver Company, there seems to
be belief among some of the Talbot
packers that the price for the raw
product the coming season will be as
The Mcdaniel circular indicates.
