urday to see the first gasoline train
of the Maryland and Delaware Coast
Railway between West Denton and

the coming exhibition of Delaware

Eastern States Exposition in Spring.
field, Mass, the week of September
Is. This week, Mr.. Derickson hopes
to complete certain preliminary
plans for the exhibit so that when
September arrives, everything need
ed will be ready for shipment to New
England.
There are about 200 sweet potato
growers in this state whose produc-
tiOn of sweet potatoes will be ex-
plotted to New Englanders this fall.
Up to this time the sentiment among
many New England sections is that
sweet potatoes are a luxury. One of
the chief aims which Chief Derrick
son hopes to exploit is to show that
sweet potatoes are used by the far
mers of Delaware and in many var
led ways.
AS suggested by Dean McCue of
the University of Delaware, who is
responsible for this movement to
further advance Delaware products
and to whose energies and enthusi-
asm credit is due for the project
getting started, the exhibit of sweet
potatoes will not only show the tub

LIGHT NEAR COLLAPSE
Days Of Historic Beacon Below
Lewes Numbered, Keeper Says.

"Just one more good no'easterner
and the historic Henlopen Light
house will crash into the sea-"
Captain John c. Gray, keeper Of
this ancient beacon that has guided
ships up Delaware Bay since 1854,
says his days and nights are spent in
a gloomy vigil awaiting the end of
this old landmark, across from the
sand dunes of Lewes.
The Cape HenlOpen lighthouse is
the second oldest in America, the
oldest being at Cape Henry. 1t was
built by the British to direct ships to
the colonies along the Delaware and
was burned by British troops land
ing there in 1777.
Early records show it was built
1 400 feet from the shore line, with
a high embankment of sand between.
There is only eleven feet left
now," said Captain Gray, "and I have
seen the time when good no'east-
erner took away as much as thirty
feet of the embankment. We all
were pretty worried during recent
storms. One night recently we had to
come down out Of the tower when it
swayed so much in the wind.

GENERAL DU POINT TELLS OF ROAD BUILDING PROBLEM
In Giving Highway To Delaware He Speaks Of His Early Expert

with a map of Delaware thereon,
showing the route of the road the
judge being introduced by Chief JUS

spoke as follows:
"Mr. Chief Justice, Ladies and
Gentlemen: 1 esteem it a privilege
and a pleasure to be permitted to
voice in some measure the apprecia-
ton and gratitude of the citizens of
Delaware for the noble gift which
you, Mr.. du Pont, this day have for

this commonwealth gift so cost
ly and so beneficient that it's endur-

state and its people a great service,

would have promoted the public well
fare to so great an extent, as the
building of this magnificent highway
The building of roads has long been
recognized as one of the most i'm

token of advancing civilization. This
great highway is something more
than a mere convenience for travel
and commercial intercourse. 1t will
so illustrate the broad vision which
conceived and the practical capacity
which achieved a work of such mag

TESTING MILK In
SUSSEX COUNTY
Expert BacteriOIOgist To Assist
Committee To Arrange For
Participation In Event.

R. c. Herdman, State bacteriolo-
gist, and Charles Chrisman are test
ing milk from all the retail dairies
in Delaware. The American Child
Health Association, cooperating
with the State Department of Health
is making a state wide survey of the
milk supplies. The former organiza-
tion, of which Herbert Hoover is
president, has supplied the state
with a travelling laboratory for the
months of June and July. The above
representatives. have set up their
outfit at the Laurel health center
and have been testing milk samples.
Milk samples have been collected
from the neighboring towns of
Bridgeville, Greenwood, Seaford, and
Delmar and tested at Laurel.
The purpose of these tests is to
find out the number of bacteria con-
tanned in the milk and to determine
if evidences of disease-producing
bacteria are present. This is the first
time that any tests of this kind have
been carried on in this part of the
state. The advantage of a travelling
laboratory is that the milk can be
tested in from two to three hours
from the time it leaves the farm.
After leaving Laurel the testers
are scheduled to go to Georgetown,
Milford, Dover, Delaware City, and
RI--yark.

TO PLAY SATURDAYS ONLY
Personal Of All Clubs Is Almost
Entirely Local BOys---Interest
Is Intense In Circuit.

The Sussex County Base Ball
League, which was only recently or
ganized, will open its season today
with every indication of a large at
tendance at all of the towns in the
circuit. Today's games will not be
counted in the seasons averages,
however, for the schedule commit
tee has decided that tomorrow, July
5th, shall be the official opening day
Of the league. Manager Roy E. Pet

mitted the list Of players signed by
him to President Howard J. Cooke,
of the league. The following are the
names of those who have been sign
ed by the Milford club: Harold P.

Georgetown and Milford will clash
today in a double header. The first
game will be played in the morning
at Georgetown, and the afternoon
game will be played on the Milford

FIGHT JAP BEETLE
Officials This Week Began Battle
To Keep Pest From State.

A rigid quarantine against the
Japanese beetle was started in Della
ware on Tuesday.
The aim of the government is to
keep the pest out of Delaware. Thus
far the beetle has not appeared in
this State. Not taking any chances,
however, the Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, has ordered
quarantine against all farm products
coming into the State from the in
fected area.
Outgoing farm products, except
those from Brandywine hundred,
which hundred is included in the
quarantined district, will be free to
pass into other states. All farm pro-
ducts from the following counties in
New Jersey and Pennsylvania will
be subjected to closed inspection.
New Jersey-BurlingtO Camden,
Atlantic, Gloucester, Ocean, part of
Mercer.
Pennsylvania - Philadelphia and
Bucks.
Announcement of the quarantine
was made on Saturday by F. P. Nc
Cardell and D. R. Geer, who have es-
tablished offices in the U. S. Engi-
neer Building, Sixth and King
streets, Wilmington.
According to Mr.. Cardell the gov
ernment will attempt to stamp out
the pest, which has caused a loss OF
millions Of dollars, by segregation,
1t is possible the quarantine may
later be extended to all parts of Del
aware, and should the beetle invade
this State an embargo on shipment
of any vegetables or produce to other
States may be put into effect.

When Contractors Started Work Of
Altering Structures They Found
Floors in Poor Condition.
OFFICE NOW DOWNSTAIRS
When The Changes Are Completed
Superintendent Office Will
Be Located At Entrance.

The Board of Education of Mil
ford has started contractors to work
on the buildings, making changes
which for long time have been bad
ly needed. When the builders started
to tear out they found that in many
places the floors were unsafe, the
rain spouts were badly rusted and
needed attention Immediately. InVes-
tigatiOn disclosed a need of repairs
in many parts of the building. The
original buildings of the group of
structures used in Milford for pub
lie school purposes was built years
ago by the Masonic Fraternity, sand
was decided to the schools so long as
it is used for school purposes. Since
then, in 1904, the high school and
grammar school building was built.
Both of these buildings we're found
too small a few years ago, and the
School Auxiliary loaned two build
ings to the school board for their
use in housing the pupils.
This year the Board of Education
has purchased two dwelling houses
adjoining the school property. These
will be used next fall for the domes-
tic science and the manual training
buildings. Even with the addition
of the new buildings the schools
will be over-crowded and the ques-
ton of a place in which to place the
children is indeed serious one.

APPLES
BRING MORE MONEY
Delaware Early Apple Crop Will
Be Graded Before Shipping
To City Markets.

Early apples from Delaware will
bring higher prices this year, be-
cause of government inspection than
ever before. This week will witness
the beginning of the preparations for
marketing the crop, which, it is es-
timated, will total about 100000
bushels. The apples will be trans
ported largely in carload lots and
owing to the efforts of the Bureau
of Markets of Dover, the apple grow
ers of the state will have an easier
time of it, obtaining higher prices for
their fruit than ever in the states
history.
Last week w. T. DericksOn, chief
of the Bureau of Markets, wrote
letter to the largest apple buyers
and dealers scattered throughout the
United States and from these letters
is beginning to receive many replies,
asking for the names of growers and
farmers who raise apples in large
quantities. Mr.. Derickson wrote in
his letter that the Bureau of Markets
did not sell anything, but aided the
farmers and fruit growers OF the
state to market their products. The
letters received at the bureau ask
for the names of the largest grow
ers and the commission house will
communicate direct with the orchar-
dist.
The early varieties of apples grown
extensively in Delaware comprise
Yellow Transparent, Williams Early
Red, Fourth of July, Early Ripe and
Red Astrachan.
Present indications are that the
crop will be just as heavy for the
