EQUITABLE LIFE PASSES
$3,OOO,OOO,0OO MARK IN
OUTSTANDING INSURANCE

The 63d annual statement of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States which is published
on another page of this issue of the
Chronicle gives evidence of the COM
Dany's continued progress. The new
insurance written in 1922 totaled
S495,O00,000, excluding over S48,000,-
600 of group insurance. The Outstand-
ing insurance on December 31st ex-
ceeded $3,000,O00,00O. Upwards of
Sill, 100000 was disbursed to policy
holders and beneficiaries during the
year in death claims, matured endow-
ments, dividends, annuities and other
payments, making a total return of
$1,569 9,676,000 to policyholders since
organization. Nearly $35,00O,000 has
been set aside for dividends to policy
holders in 1928. A large increase was
made in the issue of policies payable
on the monthly income plan, as well
as those taken to protect business in
terests and to provide for inheritance
taxes. Over SO per cent of the do
nestle death claims were paid within
"a hours after receipt of due proofs of
death. The statement calls attention
to the broad scope of Equitable SER
vice, and to the many insurance needs
covered by the company's wide range
Of policies.

WELL KNOWN MILFORD CITI-
ZEN CELEBRATES HIS S7th
BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY

William Harrison Davis, retired
merchant and one of Milfords best
known residents, received congratu-
latiOns from hosts of friends on his
87th birthday and he is attending to
his daily affairs as quickly and ably
as he did half century ago.
Although Mr.. Davis passed the
three-scOre-ten mark nearly a score of
years ago, he is as spry as ever and
shows no signs of feebleness. He still
attends personally to the collection of
his rents and does his own banking;
also make trips to New York, Phila-
delphia, Atlantic City and other dis
tant points unattended. He is held in
high esteem and is pointed out as an
example of how energetic, active and
useful a man can be at an advanced
age. On Saturday night Mr.. Davis and
his estimable wife entertained with a
family reunion. They have three
daughters and two sons, Walter H.
Davis, Ed. M. Davis, Mrs. Alfred Pow
ell and Mrs. o. D. Ackerman and six
grandchildren. Tie guests were in
vited into the dining room which was
decorated with evergreens and white
flowers. Refreshments were then SER
we'd with the following menu: Fruit
punch, chicken salad, cucumber rings,
Delaware biscuits, coffee, ice cream,
cakes, nuts and candies.
Mr.. Davis was born in Redden, Sus-
sex county, on February "a, 1885, and
farmed with his father on the old
until he was twenty-one
years of age, when he moved to Mil
lord and started in business for him
self. He engaged in the meat busi-
ness and also bought and sold furs
md pelts. In addition to these activ-
ties in business he had large ice
houses where natural ice was stored
rom which Milford and the adjacent
owns were supplied with ice. Mr..
Davis also dealt in real estate and
'ailroad stocks, being successful in
10Th. He owns Is dwellings in Milford
nd two farms.

DELAWARE FARMERS
in new ENGLAND
CONTINUED from first page)

The membership of the Exchange in
New England is largely made up of
the best men in business as well as
practical theory. They embrace bank
ers, manufacturers, merchants and
real estate holders, all working bar-
mon1ously for the uplift of agricuI-
ture and fruit and truck interests.
The annual meeting was called to
order at p. m, with the president,
Mr.. Hunter, in the chair. The treas
urer's report was especially interest
ing. 1t showed that the Exchange dur
ing the past year had transacted over
two millions of dollars worth of busi-
ness, at a cost of 1A per cent. 1t had
saved from two to five dollars per
ton for fertilizer used by the farmers.
1t had saved from SIS to $40 per ton for
dairy feed bought for dairymen.
The Exchange deals only with or
ganizations-such as the Farm Bu-
reau, the Grange or the Farmers Alli-
ance. 1t is my personal opinion that
the Farm Bureau has done the right
thing, by associating itself with the
Farmers Exchange of New England.
1 also firmly believe, that the Grange
would get better results through a
working alliance with the Exchange,
because grangers would have the ad-
vantage of a much better organized
service.
Our committee was authorized to
buy clover seed to the best advantage
possible for the State of Delaware far
mers who are members of the Farm
Bureau. We asked for bids for the
quantity desired, which were prompt
ly made. On opening these we found, !
after completing the business details, !
that we were justified in awarding the |
order to the lowest and most respon-
sible bidder, at a sum that saves to |
the farmers of Delaware, belonging to |
the Farm Bureau, several hundreds of |
dollars in this one transaction alone.
Mr.. Joseph D. Thompson, of Lewes,
is the President of the Sussex Farm
Bureau, and is a close observer of
business conditions. He is naturally
very anxious that all farmers should
Join the organization, for the purpose
Of helping themselves and the business
Of agriculture in Delaware. For this
reason he asks that the statement of
MS experience with the Exchange at
Springfield, Mass, be given wide pub
icity in Delaware.

Mary PickfOrd's New Version of "Tess
of the Storm Country" Booked Here.

Devotees to the cinema art are 60
ing to have the opportunity of seeing
"Tess of the Storm Country" again
and therein lies a tale of more than
passing interest.
In the first place this was the pic
ture in which Mary Pickford scored
one of those earlier big screen tri-
umphs, which insured her immortal
fame and inspired the populace of the
whole country to proclaim her cam
erica's Sweetheart" That was Just
eight years ago, for this epochal pho
tOplay had it's inning in 1914.
Now, in this 1922, in her new "Tess
OF the Storm Country" a United Ar
lists release, coming to The Nixon
Theatre next Monday and Tuesday,
Mary Pickford will be seen for a sec
ond time as Tess in an elaborated YER
sion of Grace Miller Whites ceIebrat-
ed story. The Queen of the Screen"
re-created this lovable character be-
fore the camera at the Pickford-Fair-
banks studio at Hollywood and this
notable revival is now being presented
internationally.
Although this particular story serV-
ed to carry Miss Pickford to the fore
most ranks of favorites among photo
players, she had earned her rights to
real stardom before it's presentation.
In fact, she attracted wide attention
when she made her debut on the
speaking stage at the age of five years.
Her first role was that of boy, Little
Ted, and she did this so well that at
the age of eight she went on the road
in "The Little Red School House" and
a year later was starred in "The Fatal
Wedding" in which she played the
part of Jessie, the little mother. Not |
long afterward she won the honor of |
the part Of Betty Warren
in "The Warrens Of Virginia" David |
BelascO production, which was this |
stars first play on New York's Broad
way.
After completing her contract with
Mr.. Belasco the lure of the movies
gained an upper hand, and, under the
direction of David Wark Griffith, she
made her first appearance on the
screen, becoming prime favOrite
rom the inception. Her initial salary
was $40 week, but she was receiV-
ng $4,000 week very soon afterward
IND, ever since she has been climbing
steadily until today she is paid $1C,-
100 week.
During the last year Miss Pickford
las received thousands of requests
rom admirers to re-enact the beloved E
of Tess and she has acceded
o the wishes Of her followers, being +
urther actuated by a desire to i'm i
rove upon her artistic achievement to
uch an extent as to make the charac- l
erization live.
The version of 1914 was in five {
cells and it was played until all the 4
prints" were worn out. Now, with @
be improvements made in the film O
laking industry, it will be possible to h
reserve the new conception so that n
may entertain generations Of the t
istant future. u
