Town Council Asks State Highway to
Run Concrete To State Street Paving

Town Council Asks State Highway to
Run Concrete To State Street Paving
The town of Dover will request the
State Highway Department to con-
tinue the concrete highway until it
connects with the bitulithic paving on
State street when the Highway De-
partment constructs the North and
South approaches along the dupont
boulevard. This decision was reach
ed by Town Council at their last reg
ular monthly meeting. The Highway
Department has planned for the con-
struction of the concrete road to the
town limits on both ends of State
sreet. This would leave more than a
block of rough road at either end of
the town between the paved section
of State street and the new concrete
road. 1t is to overcome this situation
that Council passed this resolution,
presented by Councilman LeFevre and
unanimously adopted by that body.
Whether the Highway Department
can comply with the request of the
Council is uncertain as bids for the
construction work were opened by the
department last week.

travel through Delaware by automo-
bile appreciates the opportunity of
buying farm products direct from the
farmer, and will naturally tell his
friends and neighbors of the quality
of the product that he purchased, and
it is hoped that this qaulity will al
ways be spoken of in the highest
terms. The roadside market not only
offers an opportunity for selling the
best grades, but also the cheaper
grades, however, they should be sepa-
rated so that the buyer who is will
ing to pay the price for fancy stock,
may have the privilege of obtaining
fancy stock, and the buyer who is
not quite so particular as to size and
quality, should also be able to fulfill
his wants. Any products that are not
produced on the farm, but are offered
as an accommodation, should not be
sold as fresh Delaware products, but
should be plainly marked as to where
they came from.
The coming summer will, no doubt,
bring important developments in road
side marketing in the way of furnish
ing improved service to the public.
Many proprietors of the successful
roadside markets of last season are
planning to extend their establish
ments and to make their goods more
attractive. 1t is possible that COM
munity roadside markets will be es-
tabHshed in which a group of farmers
can offer a larger variety than an in
dividual grower, and where one clerk
will be in charge of sales instead OF
several. It is believed that this
method may prove more profitable
than marketing individually.
Producers and consumers should
keep themselves posted as to marke'
conditions and prevailing prices. Thi!
can be done by getting in touch will
the Bureau of Markets at Dover, VIII,
will gladly give the information.

nOmical Method of Getting Pro-
duce to the Consumers
The roadside marketing in Delaware
is rapidly becoming a very important
means of marketing Delaware's farm
products, and is to be considered by
the farmers in their general market
ing plan. This is beyond a question
the most economical method of mar
keting produce, inasmuch as it is
placed directly in the hands of the
consumer. The roadside merchant
should not lose sight of the fact that
this is a wonderful opportunity. not
only for him to build up his own bus
mess, but also to acquaint the con-
sumers with the excellent quality of
the farm products of Delaware.
When farm products are handled in
the regular way there is some excuse
for the consumer not receiving Della
ware products in strictly first class
condition, due to delay in transit or
in handling, however, when the Della
ware farmer has the opportunity of
laying his products directly in the
consumers hand for cash and with
out the expense Of transportation and
handling, he should not overlook the
fact that his business methods and
the grade that he sells will be a
basis for future dealing. The sue
cessful roadside merchants are those
who have established a reputation foi
their products with motorists who
have a memory Of satisfactory purch.
ases and who become a regular Gus.

Harmless Little Beliefs That Do No
Harm, and Even Make for Cor

More people are superstitious tEan

but nevertheless these same people
will not walk under a ladder and they
have a queer feeling when black
cat crosses their path-that is, many
of them do.
Then, again. there are many people
who are superstitious and do not know
1t; they are led this way and that
way unconsciously by some little faith
they cannot account for in something
they know nothing about.

The ancient Greeks and Romans be-
ljeved firmly In signs and portents,
and they regarded an eclipse OF the
sun or moon as an evil omen. NicIas.
the Athenian general, was SO terrified
by an eclipse of the moon that he
dared not defend himself from the
Syracusans. In consequence OF which
his whole army was cut to pieces and
he himself was put to death. The
Romans would never hold public as
sembly during an eclipse. A very
general notion obtained among bar
bartans that the sun or moon when
in eclipse has been devoured by some
. monster, and hence the custom Of beat.
ing drums and brass kettles to scare
away the monster. The notion Of the
ancient Mexicans was that eclipses
were caused by sun and moon guar
rels, In which one Of the combatants
was beaten black and blue.
