RED DRAGON AGAIN
 SERVES MEN OF TOWN

The re-opening of the Red Dragon this week after a period of inactivity has been attended by a renewal of interest on the part of the young men of the town. The comfortable little clubhouse has been enjoyed this week by an increasing number, who have availed themselves of it's reading and card-tables, it's warmth and cheer, and the privilege of en- toying an evenings quiet smoke. Through some misunderstanding as to the purpose of the Dragon, it's privileges have not always been taken advantage of to an extent which justified it's being kept open. De- signed as an evening meet-place and reading-room, the Red Dragon is for the use of all men of Cordova, of whatever creed, it's being under the auspices of St. Georges Episcopal Church in no sense limiting it to the patronage of church members. The hall was closed, states MT. Zieg- Ter, for the sole reason that the pat ronage did not justify it's being kept open. But it is available at any time for social gatherings, for rental for special meeting purposes, and for the use of any and all men of the town as a club-room.

FARMERS POOL ORDER FOR FEED

At the meeting Of the executive
committee of the Farm Bureau of New
Castle, Kent and Sussex Counties,
held at Dover on Monday, it was an
nOunced that their pooled order for
feed, consisting of over 5000 tons for
Delaware, had been placed. This will
mean a train of over thirty cars will
enter Delaware over the Pennsylvania
railroad each month this winter, and
will be distributed direct to farmers
through the State, which means not
only a saving in freight, but prompt
delivery.
A statement was made al the meet
ing to the effect that the dealers and
manufacturers had made up a purse
Of over 100000 to defeat this move
ment on the part of the Farm Bureau,
as the dealers have lost orders fro-n
the farmers and the farmers have
been securing their feed at a much
lower rate. With this movement now
on, the farmer may be able to secure
cheaper feed from dealers this winter,
as they will now figure on closer
margin in order to have the farmers
discontinue their practice of pooled
orders. Distributors will announce
their prices the latter part of this
month, and orders for fertilizer will
be placed early in September.

BAR RURAL PUPILS
FROM DOVER SCHOOLS

The action Of the Dover Board of
Education some weeks ago, in adopt
ing a resolution that all children liv-
ing in the rural districts, outside of
Dover Special Schools Districts, up to
and including the sixth grades, should
be excluded from the Dover schools
the coming school year unless the
parents owning property desire to
have their properties transferred into
Dover Special School District, is caus-
ing much comment among the parents
Of children who have been attending
school in Dover for the past several
years.
limitations have been made that in
some instances where children have
relatives in Dover, that the relatives
home will be the temporary home of
such children for the sole reason of
attending the Dover schools.
The Dover Board of Education will
meet shortly and take action on this
new phase Of the question. There is
ample provision in the school laws
whereby owners of farms or other
properties can take advantage of Do
yer schools by having their properties
transferred to the Dover district and
thereby bear part of the burden of
taxation. ~

COURTS CAN'T AGREE
ON MILFORD BRIDGE
Bodies From Kent And Sussex
Counties Will Meet In Milford
Friday, August II.
OTHER WORK AUTHORIZED
Committee Will Meet Next Tuesday
And Look Over Road Which
May Be Strengthened.

Routine business was transacted by
the Kent County Levy Court at their
regular weekly meeting on Tuesday.
A number of bills were presented to
the court and ordered paid.
B. H. Moore, residing in the Second
district, appeared before the court and
asked that some Stag be used in re-
pairing the bay road at several places
between Dover and Kits Hammock.
Mr.. Moore explained the necessity of
having this work done before cold
weather in order to keep the road in a
passable condition. After hearing Mr..
Moores request, the court decided to
postpone action on the matter until
they could receive report from the
county engineer and have the matter
further investigated.
The court instructed County Eng1-
neer T. Marvel Gooden to rebuild
Browns bridge which connects the
Sixth and Ninth districts.
Mr.. Gooden explained to the court
that a bill of $165 for bridge work in
the Sixth district was tor the repair
ing of six BRIDGES in that district. Af-
ter the bill had been itemized accord
ing to the number OF bridges, the
court ordered the bill paid.
The construction of a new bridge in
Milford over the stream that divides
Kent and Sussex counties, has been
temporary halted because the Levy
Courts of the two counties have been
unable to agree on the matter. The
Kent County Court has invited the
Sussex county commissioners to meet
again at Milford on Friday morning
for another conference on the matter.
A committee, headed by George M.
Jones, from the State College for Col
ored Students, appeared before the
court with request that the road
Silver Lake run, above the
be Strengthened and that
new bridge be constructed. The court
after hearing the delegation, decided
to meet on the scene next Tuesday af-
ternoon for the purpose of inspecting
the road and the bridge in question.
