BRIDGEVHLE

While the price Of berries was down
last week, it has staged a come back
this week and everything points to a
bumper crop and good prices thereby
netting the farmer an excellent profit.
Berries sold from $3.50 to $3.50 on
Monday. The Superior variety is not
a good seller, while the demand for
Kelloggs causes that variety to bring
larger prices.
Harry Butler who has been in Louis
lana and Tennessee, buying straWber-
ries, returned home last week. He
will leave next week for Georgia
where he will buy peaches.
Lester Owens has obtained employ
ment with the Bridgeville Packing
Association.

Mrs. Frank Simpson who was oper-
ated on in a Philadelphia hospital,
some time ago, is in a very critical
condition and very little hope is en-
tertained for her recovery. Mrs. Simp-
son was apparently getting along very
nicely till last Thursday, when pneu-
monia suddenly developed. The last
report stated that she was gradually
growing weaker and unless there was
a change for the better within few
hours, she could not survive the ter
rible suffering she was undergoing.
Oliver Burris, of Baltimore, Md,
who came to the home of Frank Gray, |
to pick berries last Thursday, was

death was probably alcoholism.

he saw the well fed flock lie down in
the midst of plenty, well content. He
saw the Lord as he led the flock by
the still waters where all was peace
and quiet.
He who does not appreciate Gods
handiWork, and properly apply its
benefits is an migrate. When we were
children, our parents made Christmas
pleasant for us by having Santa"
come and leave toys and a well trim
med christmas tree" They would feel
amply repaid when they saw the joy
on our little faces on Christmas morn
ing, and hear our childish prattle of
glee. Haw we shown lack of appreci-
alton, it would have saddened the
hearts of our parents. sometimes
think it saddens the heart of our kind
heavenly Parent when we show lack
of appreciation of natures blessings.
Two men were travelling by the way
side one day; one a botanist, and the
other a minister. The minister pluck
ed a wayside daisy and asked the tot-
anist what he saw in it. The botanist
analysed it scientifically, naming IT'S
respective parts. The minister said:
L
the botanist, edo you see mOre% 81 see
God in it," the minister replied. So we
can see God as well as good in every
thing.
But David was not satisfied to make
only a physical application of ma
lures lessons, he would see the soul
as we'll as the heart of nature. So we
find him in communion with the soul
of God. Here he finds joy in soul re-
storation, and divine leadership in
paths of righteousness for His
Names sake" Oh, the fullness of joy
in soul communion! How often it
lifts us on the wings of faith until we
sit hard by the throne of God.
The Psalmist also gives us a picture
of life in it's entirety, and shows us
how the Lord is our Shepherd in sOr-
row as well as in Joy. After having
us lie down in green pastures, and
leading us beside still waters, He &C
companies us through the "Valley Of
the shadow of DEATH" The sob follows
closely upon the laugh; the cry of APP
parent defeat is close to the shout of
victory. But listen: 81 will fear no
evil" Why? "Thou art with me-" Note
the change of the pronoun from the
third to the first person. Heretofore
David has been talking about the Lord
now he is talking to Him. At
time like this one cannot afford to
think of God in the third person, but
rather as: "God is my refuge and
strength, very PRESENT help in the
time of trouble" Death is only
Shadow" and not a reality when the
Lord is with us. Long before Jesus
came He announced the fact: "I am
the resurrection, and the life" With
what joy we too can declare: "Thy
rod and Thy staff they comfort me-"
Then all of this leading with its
varied experiences brings us home,
safe home. "I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever" What a shout Of
final triumph and victory" And yet
it is a shout all can make in the
sweet by and by if we vest our all in
Him as David did.

COLORED SCHOOLS HAVE FIELD
DAY
Display of Work by Children in Do
nestle Science Work Was Large
and Surprisingly Well Done.

Last Friday the pupils of No. @
Public School of Milford, held a Field
Day, which was largely attended and
the results accomplished, by the chill
dren in their school work, were sur
prising to those who had not known
of the effort to develop a department
Of Domestic Science in the colored
schools of Milford. The work has been
done by the teachers, aided by the
Parent-Teachers Association of the
colored people of the town, mostly
after the day work of the teachers had
been completed in the school periods.
The cost of maintenance and installa-
ton, was borne entirely by the color
ed people themselves, and no part of
the money of the State went towards
it's maintenance or operation.
The display of dresses made by the
children under the direction of the
teachers, both of whom came to Della
ware from Virginia, was a demonstra-
ton of capable and neat needle work.
The undergarments and fancy work
was also cause for surprise that chill
dren of the public schools had become
so efficient under the instruction in
one school year, by their teachers,
Miss E. G. WOodson and Miss E. T.
Hilton.
The cooking demonstrations clearly
demonstrate, that the girls who will
graduate from the Milford School, will
make efficient housekeepers and ex-
cellent cooks, if their instructions are
carried into their mature lives and put
into practice. Hot noon meals have
been served each school day during
the winter, at cost of materials used
by the class.
There was a display of the handi-
work Of the boys in manual training,
which was worthy Of mention. The
husk rugs were examples Of utility
and aids in cleanliness, especially at
rural homes. This department is I'M
der the direction of J. Graham Scott,
the principal.
The days program as carried out
on the grounds about the school was
as follows:
I. Grand march, by pupils, 10 a. m.

EACH PERSON IN AMERICA
ENTITLED TO l76 PHONE
CALLS DURING LAST YEAR
Nation Leads the World in TELEPHONE
Conversation With 14,00O,OOO
Instruments Used.

If every man. woman and child IN
the United States did his share OF
talking over the telephone last year,
each would be entitled to 176 COM
pleted calls, according to the Illinois
committee on public utility informa-
ton. In 1000 there was one telephone
for every 90 persons; in 1905 one Tor
each 81: in 1915 one to each ii, and
in 1921 one to each 8. .o
The committee reports ZO,UOOU00,-
900 telephone conversations in l922
over the l4.300.000 telephones then in
use. To handle the business $685. 600
persons were employed by the So, 100
telephone companies. The 29,70l,OOO
miles of wire used would encircle the
globe 1888 times at the equator.
II used in another way there IS
enough of the wire to run 62 double
wire telephone circuits from the earth
to the moon at its mean distance from
the earth. The 100000 telephone
poles would build a railroad trestle 50
feet high from Chicago to Buenos
Aires, Argentina.
Since DR.. Alexander Graham Bell
invented the telephone in 1870 the in
dustry has grown with such amazing
speed that the United States, with only
one-sixteenth of the worlds popula-
ton, now possesses two-thirds OF all
the telephones in use. Next to Amer
leans the people of Denmark are the
most telephonically talkative on earth.

nicer and nicer
This is motto of the Shellman
girls basket ball team. Last week, for
the first time in the history OF our
team, that motto was questioned, by
none other than our Dawson friends.
We're truly sorry they haven't been
able to learn the latest rules. We
thought they had or we would have
turned back to our last years rules.
Then, too, we did not understand
that we were expected to serve re-
freshments after the game. Give us
one more chance. Come over again,
Dawson, and you'll find cream and
cake awaiting you after the camel!
Wen do anything to make amends,
for we can stand anything but Daw-
son saying we were not even nice to
them.
