have ripened this week, is APPARENT
ly without any moisture on the sur

the four rows across his demonstra-

was filled with seventeen of these
wonderful berries. Several measured
three inches across, while others

very tender, therefore, their shipping

MILFORD GRANGE

A large and appreciative audience
attended the memorial exercises at
Grange Hall last Saturday evening.
Good music and deliciouc refresh
ments were enjoyed by all, as well as
the pleasant social hour. An interest
ing feature of the program was the
camp fire scene, in which Comrades
Jackson, Hammond and Riffenburg
took part. The stage was banked with
evergreens, against which the light of
the fire, the stacked arms and the
soldiers tents, together with the stead
lily pacing guard, made an effective
picture. The music of Comrade Jack
sons fife brought generous applause.
Nine of the old soldiers, representing
the fast thinning ranks of the Army of
the Republic, were present. May they
be the guests of the Grange on many
a Memorial Day to come!

FLAG RAISING AT MILFORD

The Public Schools of Milford re-
ceived National Flag as a gift from
Prof. Robert Shilling this week. It
was accepted and raised for the first
time on Wednesday morning. When
the people of Milford secure sufficient
roo mon which to erect a flag pole
without robbing pupils of a few badly
needed inches on which to exercise
and play, it will be possible to throw
to the breeze Old Glory in impressive
size to attract attention Of not only
the pupils, but the general public.
The new flag is as large as the
place for it permits, because it hangs
directly over the main entrance to the
high school.

OVERPAID INCOME
TAX TO Be REFUNDED
State Treasurer Thomas S. FOuracre
Announced His Office Plans
To Do So In July.

State Treasurer Thomas S. Four
acre is preparing to refund oVerpaid
State income tax for the year 1919,
which was paid in 1920. Me has made
"a statement to this effect and said he
expected to be in a position to start
to pay the money between July 1 and
10.
Payment will be made only to per-
sons who make application for it and
they will be required to furnish salts
factory proof that they have paid the
money and are entitled to the refund.
The original receipt-not a copy or
the Cancelled check, will be accepted as
adequate proof, Mr.. Fouracre stated.
In case of necessity the Office records,
showing receipt of the money, can be
referred to in proof. The applications
can be sent to the treasurer now. In
fact, he said he hopes to have all
claims in hand by the time the Office
is ready to start making the repay
ments in July. In the meantime the
preliminaries will be gotten in shape.
The file of the returns for that year,
which were in the State tax Office,
have been moved to the treasurer's Of
flee for the purpose of checking up the
claims. An increase in clerical force
will also be necessary.
Mr.. Fouracre said that his Office es-
Inmates that there will be about $780,
000to refund. This money represents
the tax on the difference between ST.
000and $4,000 exemption allowed mar
ried men. The legislature of 1919 in
creased the exemption for married
men from $1,000, as formerly fixed, to
$4,000. When the tax for 1919 was
collected it was collected on that bas-
is, David J. Reinhardt, attorney gen.
eral, holding that the amendment was
to the tax Of that year.
S. D. Townsend, Jr., who
succeeded Mr.. Reinhardt as attorney
general, gave an opinion to the State !
treasurer that was just the reverse,
the treasurer began col
Letting an additional $40 from those
who had made their returns for 1919, !
based on a $4,000 exemption. The last
legislature has decided that those
rom whom this additional sum was
collected are entitled to have it paid
back, and it is under this law that
Treasurer FOuracre is arranging to
)egin refunding the money in July.
If you got an exemption of $1,000
,ou get no refund; but if it was only
!, OOO-then you get $40 from the
State.

FIRE DESTROYS BARN
AT ST. JOSEPH'S SCHOOL

A large barn at st. Joseph's Indus
trial School at Clayton was complete
ly destroyed by fire last Sunday NOR
ming. Five horses and two COWS were
burned during the fire the origin Of
which is unknown. The loss is covered
by insurance.
The fire was not discovered until
1t had gained much Roadway and the
Clayton firemen Immediately summon
ed help from Smyrna, Middletown, Do
yer and Milford, in order to prevent
the flames from destroying the other
buildings at the institution. The Mil
ford firemen received notice while en-
route, that their service would not be
required and they returned.
While the barn itself was complete
ly destroyed, the firemen succeeded
in keeping the fire from igniting the
other buildings at the school. The
building that was destroyed was one
Of the largest barns in that section Of
the State and measured about 1OOx20O
feet. A large number OF farming Inn
plements. some straw and hay were

TUNNEL CANDIDATE
FORtU. S. SENATOR
Democratic Politicians Are BeCOm-
ing Interested In Forthcoming
Campaign At This Time. . ..s.s3s,

Democratic politicians in Sussex
county are becoming interested and
much activity is being shown at this
time over the Senatorial nominee for
next year, to succeed United States
Senator Lewis Heisler Ball. That the
toga should be placed on a favorite
son of Sussex county is generally adj
mitted by all of the leaders, and the
consensus of opinion at this time is
that all will work to that end.
It is believed that the majority Of
the politicians in New Castle and
Kent counties concede the nomination
to Sussex, but before the eve Of the
next State Convention there may be
rift in the lutte, which will upset the
sanguine expectations of all the pol
iticians.
Before the time for the election of
the Democratic county executive COM
mittee this fall, the political pot will
be boiling to such an extent, it is be-.
lieved, that the average voter will
hardly know the difference but that
he or she are in regular election
campaign. Working on the theory that
Sussex is entitled to the nomination
and that other parts of the State
take the same viewpoint, Sussex coun-
ty is going to have, from present indi-
cations, several candidates.
James M. Tunnel, prominent
Georgetown lawyer, and for many
years recognized as one of the most
active workers in the party in south
ern Delaware, looms up at this time
as the one who will carry off the nom
nation. District politicians in all parts
of Sussex are busy at present lining
up back of him, and a strong move
ment is under way to make him the
chairman of the county committee in
the event he will laccept the Office and
it will not conflict with his campaign
for the nomination for United States
Senator.
A fight will no doubt be waged |
against him, but thus far the opposi-
ton is so small that it becomes almost |
neglible.
Mr.. Tunnel for many years has TAX

tics, not only in Sussex county but
he State. He was candidate for At
