REMODELLING AND ENLARGING
THE ,COOPERSMITH STORES

The CoOpersmith building at Front
and Walnut streets, in North Milford,
is in process of a very great change
as to the interior. In the corner store
which was used for a ladies' supply
department Of the COopersmith De-
partment Store, an open stairway has
been cut to the second story, which
will be the display room for ladies'
suits and children's garments. Other
changes have been made in the other
two departments which will largely
increase the space devoted to the
stocks carried. The manufacturing de-
partment, where children's clothing is
made, will not be changed, as the de-
mand for the manufactured goods will
not permit the stop at this season, to
make the changes which will probably
go forward next fall. When the en-
largements are finished it is the pur-
pose Of the owner to make the new
department novelty in this part of
The peninsula. Mr.. Coopersmith does
not intend to permit the trade TO have
% go out Of Milford-if it can be pre-
vented by giving large stocks to Sc
ect from, which will be displayed on
ife-like models.

ACTS TOPREVENT HOOP
AND MOUTH DISEASE
State Department OF Agriculture
Takes Steps Against Outbreak
Here Of Dreaded Disease.

Prompt action to prevent any out
break of the dreaded hoof and mouth
disease among the clOyen-hOoled ami
mails OF Delaware, was taken last
week ythe officials of the State De-
partment of Agriculture, upon receipt
of advices from the government of the
disease having gotten a fOothold in
many California counties, and that il
was developing more strongly in Eng
land. About ten years ago Delaware
was attacked by this enemy of cattle,
swine and sheep and it required dras-
tic remedies to stamp it out.
Ralph c. Wilson, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, upon be-
ing informed that shipments of
crOckery from England had reached
Delaware in the original packages,
sought the straw and hay packing at
Dover, Milford and Wilmington. In
two or three instances he was sue
oessful in locating the original pack
ing and Immediately destroyed it. In |
another case, however, the package !
came several weeks ago and no trace
If the original straw could be found.
Experiments have shown that hay and
traw from infected districts carry the
loof and mouth disease germ and as
result all packages coming from
England or any other country where
he disease prevails is being closely
Jatched by this government.
When the disease breaks out there
ppears to be little else to do but de-
troy everything and every animal
rithin a prescribed territory, in order
} effectually check it. When the last {
pidemic of it prevailed in Delaware, I
OF only were the cloven-hoofed ami s
lals destroyed, but hay and grain t
nd other things which would act as I
carrier of the germs were burned.
he remedy, while severe, proved eff S
ctive and the disease was wiped out 1
this State. S

LIQUOR FLOATED ASHORE

Reports are being circulated in the
bay shore districts along the Della
ware Bay to the effect that a large
quantity of Scotch Whiskey has float
ed ashore recently. The heavy north
easterly winds last week brought
these cases to the Delaware side ard
left them on the flats along the bay
shore. Just how the liquor came to
be in the water has not been ascer-
tanned, but it is thought that a liquor
laden boat was compelled to throw it's
cargo over to escape capture by reve-
nue. officials. The coast line along
which the liquor has been found ex-
tends from Bowers Beach southwark
as far as BrOadkiln Beach. At Cedar
Beach and Slaughter Beach it is said
that several cases have been found.
Those persons finding the liquor have
kept it very quiet and have not broad
casted their finds.

MILFORD GIRLS ARE
NOW STATE CHAMPIONS
By Defeating Caesar Rodney Satur.
day Night They Won Highest
Basket Ball HOnOrs.

The Milford High School Girls bas-
ket ball team were returned the State
Champions for 1923-24 when they de-
feated the Caesar Rodney High School
girls team on the State Armory Floor
at Dover last Saturday night. The
Caesar Rodney team had won the
championship for the northern half
of the State, and the Milford team had
won for the southern half of the State.
These teams were awarded their re-
spective honors last week by the
school association governing athletic
relations between all school teams.
The play off on Saturday night was
for State honors.
Caesar Rodney started off with a
rush and during the second quarter
were leading the Milford girls by the
score of to 4. In the second half,
however, the Milford girls found
themselves and scored point after
point. During most of the game the
ball was near the Milford goal, and
The Caesar Rodney girls were on the
defensive. Both teams passed the ball
exceptionally well.
The work of the Misses Ackerman |
md Schmidt featured the game, one
scoring 20 and the other 21 points.

M, D. &V. ROAD PLANS
Old Railroad May Be Operated
From Love Point To Lewes.

Arrangements for taking over and
operating the old Maryland, Delaware
and Virginia Railroad line from Love
Point to Lewes, were advanced mater
tally on Monday at a conference held
by Jesse Rosenfeld and Harry E.
Karr, both of Baltimore, with Penn
sylVania Railroad officials in Phila-
delphia.
Messrs. ROsenfeld and Karr rep
resent the Baltimoreans who hold an
option on that portion of the property
not taken by the Pennsylvania under
its plan to consolidate the B., C. & A.,
with portion of the NJ, D. & V.
While no written agreement with
the Pennsylvania was drafted, Mr..
Rosenfeld said the plan would be to
operate trains all the way from
Lewes to Love Point by making a
traffic agreement with the Pennsyl-
vania for the tracks between West
Denton and Love Point. Under the ar
the Pennsylvania would
operate its newly organized line, the
Baltimore and Eastern, from Love
Point to Ocean City by way of Hills
DOrO and EastOn.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
CATTLE, STOP ANTHRAX
Spring InnOculatiOn Started Last
Week On Herds Feeding Near
Water Or MarshIands.

In order to properly protect cattle
from the inrOads of anthrax, Veteri-
narians in New Castle and Kent coun-
ties and upper Sussex county began
last week the spring innOculation of
cattle with anthrax vaccine. Few peO-
pie of this generation realize that
each year this vaccinating process of
cattle on farms, bordering on the
marshland of the state, undergo this
preventive measure, but it is only
through such protection that anthrax
is kept down in Delaware.
Hides brought to this country for
tanning and manufactured in Camden,
N. j., and Wilmington into leather,
were blamed for the spread of an
thraX through the germs being car
ried by the refuse waters from the
two cities both of which flow into the
Delaware river. AS a consequence
farmers whose lands lie bordering on
the Delaware river or its tributaries
were considered a splendid field for
the development of the disease. Late
ly, it is asserted that danger from an
thrax germs being carried in the riv-
er waters has been eliminated by a
process at the tanneries which de- |
strOys the germs.
While this may be true, yet it is al
so true that any abatement in the |
process usually results in
developing. In one section of
New Castle county, where the cattle
IN marshlands had been innoculated
for several years, it was
lecided last spring not to bother to
yaccinate. It was thought that the
herds had been thoroughly cleared of
my anthrax germs. This, however,
lrOved unwise, because before the
ummer was very far advanced, an
hraX appeared in that section. AS a {
esult, the Board of Agriculture (
Trough the veterinarians are this S
pring proceeding as they have in ]
ther years and are vaccinating the J
attic on marshland farms.
The farms in the interior, not being
thin the prescribed danger zone, are
eldOm known to develop anthrax
nong the cattle. Because human be- q
lgs can catch anthrax from the hides a
cattle, makes the precautions of the W
ate board doubly important. Vaccine I
r the vaccinating is furnished by the
oard of Agriculture and the veteri- r
lrians are recompensed for their L
rVices.
Those who are engaged in this sys-
matte crusade are DR.. H. P. Ewes,
ilmington; DR.. H. B. Mcdowell, Mid
etown; L. Levinson, MiddletOwn; d1
r. H. Mcdaniel, Dover; DIR. Evans a
)berts, Milford. 1t is estimated that T.
ont hefWaan fOuY. ond five fbOueond N,
tile will be vaccinated this year. Sc

EASTON RAISES
FRANCHISE FUND

Easton reached it's quota in the
drive to raise the money to guarantee
franchise in the Eastern Shore
League, at a rally meeting on Monday.
The goal set at $4,000 was well sub
scribed, but the hackers will still con-
tinue to put the shares on the market
in an effort to create a safe working
capital.
Frank Baker headed committee Of
five, which went to Salisbury on
Thursday afternoon to make formal
application for the Easton franchise.
The other members Of the committee
which will represent Easton are the
Rev. Thomas Donaldson, James c.
Goodwin, Charles Shipley and Claude
Wheatley.
The managerial reins will be hand
led by Frank Baker, former home-run
king of the majors. He already has his
eye on several likely looking boys to
round out a classy nine. He does not
expect to have a pennant winner the
first year, but promises real base ball.

EDWARD Roberts, a farmer residing
near Milford, was drowned Tuesday
afternoon as he was returning home
from school. The accident occurred
ABOUT 4:SO o'clock, and it was three
quarters of an hour later when
searchers found the body and brought
II TO the surface. The bay was drown
ed Just north of the Vinyard Ship
yards at one of the deepest points in
the river.
For some time past it has been the
practice of young Roberts to cross the
river from the South Milford side to
the North Milford side in a small
low boat. He has been accompanied by
Ihree other small boys, Lee GiIlespie.
EDWARD Jester and William Chandler.
Ihey were with him on Tuesday when
Ihe boat turned turtle. The boat is a

ter Of the stream two of the bows at
tempted to exchange places in the
Doat' In doing this they overturned
Ihelr tralI craft and all the occupants

INCOME TAXES HEAVY
Government Receives More Than
Million Dollars On Last Day.

When the offices of U. S. Internal
Revenue Collector John w. Herlng
in the Federal Building at Whining
ton, closed at midnight, Saturday, the
last date for the filing of the 1928 in
come tax returns the Wilmington Of
flee had collected more than a million
dollars. 1t was estimated that the to-
tai receipts of the Office for the first
Is days of this month will be at least
quarter of a million dollars more
than the receipts of last year and
that the receipts at the end of the
fiscal year, July 81, will be at least
S1O,0OO,OOO.
While figures were unattainable at
the office of State Tax Commissioner
Jester, it was said at that office that
the returns this year under the State
Income Tax law were larger than
those of previous years.
The large increase in the Federal
income returns this year is said to be
due to the fact that corporations or
ganized under the Delaware laws and
operating in other States have had a
big year. One such corporation, al
though only year old, paid 100000
income tax on Saturday.
The lowest tax paid Saturday was
one cent while two or three men paid
2 cents each.
The total collected for the first ff-
,een days in March last year totaled
1ut $846,O0O and with this amount
more than equalled Saturday the Fed
eral force was delighted with the |
showing made by the Wilmington Of
ice.
At the State tax office in Whining
on it was necessary for Lieutenant
lay, of the State highway police, to
ct as doortender in allowing the tax
bles to enter and leave the rooms.
Mr.. Jester said the last minute rush
D pay the filing fee and State income j
Ak was not as pronounced as last
ear as hundreds paid the tax during
and February.
Unlike the government offices the
tate tax will be collected for some I
me without the imposition. of pen '
lty or interest. Many who called at I
lie offices after they had closed Sat c
rday night were advised to call on I
onday and pay the tax. f
