CALL OFF DELAWARE
EXHIBIT OF APPLES

There will be no state exhibit of ap-
pies at the Eastern Apple Exposition
and Fruit Show in Grand Central Pal
ace, New York City, November $40.
This is a severe disappointment to
Delaware apple growers but it is un-
avoidable this season.
The Legislature was asked last year
to defray part of the expenses of an
exhibit of Delaware fruit in the ex-
position. The Legislature, however, did
not find it wise in their opinion to
make such an appropriation. The cost
of such an exhibit would be about $5,-
900, but if the Legislature had decided
to appropriate part Of the sum it is
expected that the growers would have
Combined and paid the balance. But
they do not feel that the returns JUS
tify so great an outlay and conse-
quently the plan for a state exhibit is
off.
This does not mean that because
there will be no state show of apples
and canned goods that Delaware will
not be represented. 1t is expected that
some of the larger apple growers will
arrange to send an exhibit to the ex-
position. If they do it will be purely
an individual exhibit and not repre-
sentative of the states apple growers.

October 27th

The Navy League of the United
States has asked that the birthday of
our late President Roosevelt, October
9th, be designated as Navy Day for
the purpose of informing the people
of the United States of the needs and
uses of our Navy.
President Coolidge has approved the
suggestion in the following letter to
the Secretary Of the Navy
"It has been pleasing to learn OF the
plans to continue this year the Obser-
vance of October 9th, birthday of the
late President Roosevelt, as Navy
Day. The date is appropriate in view
of the part President Roosevelt play
ed in making our modern Navy, of his
historical writings dealing with it,
and of the demonstrations which as
President, he gave regarding the ef-
fective utilization of Naval power as
a guarantee of peace.
"Our country has undertaken as its
proper contribution to ameliorat1ng
the burdens of armament in the world,
to place certain limits on our Naval
establishment. In view Of these,
which, it need not be said, will al
ways be strictly observed, it becomes
desirable that the highest efficiency,
in men and material, be maintained.
The Navy is the first line of defense.
Our National situation makes it pc
culiarly important to us, for we have
never been committed to the policy of
a large Army, relying to greater ex-
tent than less favored countries might,
on the advantage of our location and
our confidence in an adequate Navy.
The traditional devotion of the Navy
to the highest usefulness and -efficien-
cy makes it especially fitting that
Navy Day be so observed as to show
the country's appreciation of this
splendid service.
''Most sincerely yours,
CALVIN COOLIDGE"
The Navy Department has therefore
promised the Navy League the hearty
cooperation and assistance of the
Navy in making Navy Day success.
officers and enlisted men Of the Naval
Reserve Force have been requested to
take an active part in the various To-
cal observances of Navy Day and to
wear their uniforms.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
AS SEEN ON THE WEST
COAST OF MEXICO
Communicated
l to the Milford Chronicle |


On the tenth of September, nineteen
hundred and twenty-three, was the
date of that great spectacle: "The to-
tai eclipse of the sum-" which only
comes once ever so often.
1t was indeed marvellous sight eV-
en- though the sun was not totally hid
den by the moon at this place, Mazat-
Ian, Sinaloa, Mexico. 1t was about
800 eclipse here and-the effect it had
upon the natural light furnished by
old "SOL" was such that for about
ten minutes it was too dark to work
comfortably in the American Consul
ate where l am employed, without the
aid of artificial light. 1 viewed the
wonderful spectacle of nature in front
of the Consulate facing the great Pa
cific Ocean. 1t was indeed a beau
tiful sight and the effect it had upon
the ocean was even more beautiful
causing the water to appear purple
in color.
In communication from the Amer
ican Consul stationed at Guaymas,
Sonora, Mexico, a distance of 469
miles north of here on the Gulf of Cal
ifornia, the spectacle was described
thusly:
The sun was totally eclipsed by the
moon for a period of about IL min
utes and it became almost completely
dark, so much that the crows were
fooled into thinking that it was roost
time. The Yacqui Indians shot up
rockets to prevent the Spirit from
descending from the skies" A flock
of turkeys near the Pacific Hospital,
all lined up in front of their shed
preparatory to going to roost and the
young ladies (sehoritas) of Guaymas,
were almost convinced that night had
come and were on the point of tele-
phoning for their sweethearts (nOViOs)
to make their nightly calls.
