LARGE INCREASE in
OUR STATES WEALTH.
Government Report Indicates That
Property In Delaware Has
Doubled In Value.
LIVE STOCK VALUE SLUMPS
Comparison For Ten Year Period
Shows Over A Million Dollars
Loss In Stock.

The Department of Commerce an
nOunces, for the State of Delaware, it's
preliminary estimate of the value, De-
cember 81, 1922, of the principal forms
of wealth, the total amounting to
$629,4SO,000, as compared with $780,
O12,OO0 in 1912, an increase of 1914
per cent. Per capita values increased
from $1,474, to $2,744, or 86.2 per cent.
All classes of property increased in
value from 1912 to 1922, except live
stock, which decreased from $780,
900 to $7,238,000, or IT. per cent. The
estimated value of taxed real property
and improvements increased from
$157,922,00O to 90,241 900, or 1873 per
cent; exempt real property from $14,-
$4,000 to $41,8O0,OOO, or 1888 per
cent; farm implements and machinery
from $3,417,O00 to $4,91O.O0O, or 43.7
per cent; manufacturing machinery,
tools and implements from $16,694, 900
to $52,0S5,O00, or 212.0 per cent. Pri-
vately owned transportation and
transmission enterprises, other than
railroads, increased in value from
500, 900 to $26,63O,OOO, or 3O5 per
cent; and stocks of goods, vehicles
other than motor, furniture and cloth
ing from SCI, $4,000 to $175,692, 900, or
1850 per cent. No comparison is pos
sible for the value of motor vehicles,
which was estimated in 1922 at 49,
$4,000, because no separate estimate
was made in 1912.
In making these estimates the de-
partment followed in general the
methods employed in making the esti-
mates for 1912, though it is believed
that in some respects the work in 1922
has been more thorough. It should be
borne in mind that the increases in
money value are to large extent due
to the rise in prices which has taken
place in recent years, and so far as
that is the case they do not represent
increases in the guam
lily of wealth.

MILFORD GRANGE WILL
HAVE A CHRISTMAS PARTY

All grangers with their families are
invited to a Christmas party in the
Grange Hall on Saturday night, De-
cember goth. There will be no bust
ness meeting in the afternoon in Or
der to allow everyone ample time to
get themselves fixed up for the night
doings.
This party is in charge of a COM
mittee of five ladies with Mrs. VIM.
Salmons, chairman. The committee is
preparing lovely program including
the following items: A piano trio, rec
itations by several of the children,
readings by Mrs. Num- and Mrs. Bess
Shew. Bess Elliott is working on a
new dance which is bound to startle
you. Mr.. Colell will exercise himself
on the piano and Guy Lemex will dem
onstrate on the fiddle. Our new secre-
tary, Hester Bunstein, is fixing to sing
(really) and perhaps the male quartet
will do likewise. Mrs. Colell will be on
deck to entertain you, and you know
she's always right there with the
goods. Also everyone in the audience
will be given an opportunity to eXer-
else their voice or their lungs or both
on Christmas songs.
Enough refreshments were left over
from the last party so that it will not
be necessary for you to bring peanuts
or other rude victuals along in your
pockets.
The committee cannot expect to
make this party a glaring success
without full house, or a house full,
so make it point to be there.

WOMAN INJURED In
AN AUTO COLLISION
Mrs. H. R. Lemex Of Shawnee
Sustained Broken Nose In Ac-
cident Sunday Evening.

Mrs. H. r. LemeX, who resides at
Shawnee, received a broken nose and
her husband was badly shaken up
when the dearborn wagon in which
they were riding was crashed into by
Ford touring car, driven by Edward
Shears, young man, on Monday ev-
ening last. Several other occupants of
the dearborn were not injured to any
extent. Mr.. and Mrs. Lemex with their
party of neighbors, had been shopping
in Milford and had started for home.
When in front of the laboratories of
the L. D. Caulk Company at the wes-
tern entrance of Milford they were in
collision with the automobile driven
by Shears. The dearborn was COM
pletely wrecked, and the occupants
were thrown to the ground. Mr..
Shears was coming toward Milford,
and says that he did not see the dear
born until it was too late to avert a
crash. He claims that the wagon did
not carry light as required by the
State laws.
Following the accident the occu-
pants of the Lemex dearborn were
taken to the Milford Emergency Hos
pital where an examination disclosed
the injuries above referred to. Mr..
Lemex was discharged on Christmas
Day. Immediately following the col
lision the driver of the automobile
stopped and rendered what aid he
could. The Ford had a fender bent and
a lamp smashed. The occupants of the
car were not injured.
