the gloves cleverly and gave an in

The big number carries the legend of
Lady Godiva, a perfectly white pony

picture. Then came the big drill of

in their work, in handsome costumes
and beautiful scenery.
The twenty minutes that Tom Patri-
cola and Harietta Towne occupied the
stage is one continuous laugh. This
man ranks as one Of the best dancers
and comedians on the stage. He is
q tireless worker and furnishes the
comedy hit of the evening. Miss
Towne is splendid foil for his fool
ishness. The lights had to be lower

watching his every move, and the ex-

While 1t may not set the theatrical
world afire or cause Flo Ziegfeld to
start proceedings for being robbed of
some Of his beauty chorus, still it has
entertaining features that should find
favor among burlesque patrons.
To begin with, there is Frank X.
Silk, a comedian whose work is as
smooth as his name. His tramp make
up is good and the comedy he injects
into the circus scene in the first act
is one of the best features of the
show. Dick Hulse. a rotund comedian

OBSERVE 18th ANNIVERSARY

The 18th Anniversary of the Fellow
ship Bible Glass of Avenue M. e.
Church, of Milford, was celebrated on
Tuesday evening, February Goth, by a
Valentine Social. The Chapel was the
scene and it was appropriately deco
rated with red, white and blue crepe
paper. Hearts, big and little were in
evidence everywhere. A centrally
placed table was decorated in the
same color and scheme plan and on
it were the games, valentines, cupid
arrows and baskets of red and white,
which were filled with tough conun-
drums written on hearts-but the
main piece of interest was a large
Fortune cake. The entertainment con-
sisted of recitations of both a comic
and sentimental character, which were
followed with all sorts of games de-
vised for amusement. Drawing of
hearts blindfolded and placing it on
the drawers breast in as near the
proper place as possible for the heart,
rounds of laughter. The large
lace trimmed valentine of a lover also
made hit. An appropri-
ate menu was served and the fun
stopped about midnight. The class
were recognized by wearing
l heart in a white rosette of ribbon.

DELAWAREANS EAT
MORE MEAT NOW
Average Of l49 Pounds Per Person
Last Year As Against 143
Pounds In 1921.

Estimates compiled by the bureau
of animal industry, Department oi
Agriculture, show that the consump-
ton of meat in Delaware during 1925
averaged 149 pounds per person. The
estimates show an increase over 1921
Of approximately six pounds per cap
ita, and six and half pounds above
the consumption in 1920.
The Department states that, coupled
with a decrease in exports and some
what higher prices to producers in
1922, the figures are evidence of a sat
isfactory state in the home market,
undoubtedly due to the prosperous
condition and better purchasing pow
er of the people generally.
According to the estimates, the av-
erage meat bill per person in 1922 was
made up of 61.4 pounds of beef, 7.3
pounds Of veal, 5 pounds of mutton
and lamb, and 76 pounds of pork, to-
tai 1897 pounds. This is the highest
annual consumption since 1911, when
the total was 1884 pounds. The in
crease in 1922, over the preceding year
applied to all classes of meat except
mutton and lamb, which showed de-
CIGdS6S Ill DOJu slaughter duu COu-
sumption. The greatest increase was
in beef, S.6 pounds per head, while the
increase in pork was only slightly
less, 81 pounds per head. Veal in
creased only slightly, but consumption
of mutton and lamb fell from 6.2 to
an even pounds per head.
The vastness of the national meat
industry is realized when these per
capita quantities are applied to pop
ulation of 1O9, 9,24S,392, which is the cen
sus estimate for continental United
States on July 1, 1922. The process of
shows the total con-
sumption of meat in 1922 was more
than 16 1-3 billion pounds, the highest
in history for any country. However,
slightly more meat was produced in
he United States in 1918, the year of
The great war effort but the exceed
ng large exports in that year reduc-
I'd the consumption materially.

The following letter has been sent
out requesting all fruit growers to
meet at Dover next Monday to con-

"An opportunity is now presented to
the fruit growers of Delaware to dis

ket in the world (New York City, for
seven (7) days, from November Srd to
10th.
MANY fruit growers and officials of
the Agricultural Departments and
Horticultural Societies of the various
New England and Middle Eastern
States, have felt for a long time, that
something should be done, in order to
arouse the people of the east, to the
advantages of using eastern grown
fruit, and to get them to demand cas-
tern grown fruit from their dealers.
"The western fruit growers and
packers have many fruit shows each
season and spend hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars for advertising, and as
a result they are getting the cream of
the business, and in order to teach the
buyers the advantages of buying cas-
tern grown fruit, and thus get our
