May Compel Visiting Motor
Trucks To Take Out License

Persons interested in the mainte-
nance of the modern highways in
Delaware are now studying the stu
alton in this State. Numerous plans
for changing the motor vehicle laws
are under consideration and will he
given careful consideration before
they are adopted. When the General
Assembly meets in biennial session
in January these matters will be
ready for presentation.
One of the suggested changes af-
fects the reciprocity cOurtesies now
exchanged between Delaware and
Maryland and Pennsylvania. At the
present time the number of trucks
engaged in transportation business
in this state and those in Pennsyl-
vania is about one to ten. In other
words, nine of the ten trucks carry
ing freight over Delaware highways
are Pennsylvania trucks. On the
other hand, very few Delaware
trucks enter Pennsylvania with
freight, yet the highways have to be
maintained just the same in this
state. It is proposed to drop the ex-
change of courtesy which permits
PENNSYLVANIA trucks to operate in
Delaware free of license, and charge
the foreign trucks, permitting the
adjoining states to charge Delaware

DELAWARE STUDENTS
SHOW GOOD ABILITY
Those Taking Agriculture And
Home Economics Have Success
fully Demonstrated Skill.

The Smith Hughes activities in ag-
riculture and home economics pro
NOTED through the high schools of
the state will be represented in the
parade and pageant which will be
held at the Kent & Sussex Fair at
Harrington, Friday, August 1st. The
pageant, which is designed to depict
ten years Of agricultural progress in
Delaware, would not be complete un-
less the many valuable contributions
made by the high schools, are in
cluded. Amazing results have been
obtained by the boys and girls who
have taken the organized courses of
instruction along agricultural and
home economics lines offered in the
high schools. These systematic
courses were incorporated into the
high school curricula of the state in
1917 when the Smith Hughes Law
was enacted. Since that time 1858
boys and 2400 girls of high school
age have taken the courses. Agricul-

CELEBRATION PICTURE
WILL BE SHOWN HERE

John F. Harlan, who acted as mar
shal of the Coleman du Pont Road

has had moving pictures of the pa
rade, and interesting events of the
day made and will show them in Mil
ford at the Plaza Theatre on Monday
and Tuesday evenings of next week.
The pictures are complete in every
detail They were first shown in Do
yer this week before crowded houses
and those who saw them were well
pleased. The pictures show all the
interesting features of the parade.
The Milford float and Evergreen
Forest, No. 40, of Milford, as thew

trucks. In this case, it is claimed,
Delaware would benefit by the ratio
of one to ten.
Another proposed change relates
to the charges on trucks now oper-
ating over the highways. 1t is stated
that most farmers use nothing more
than two-tOn-trucks, whereas, the
transportation companies use trucks
carrying loads up to eleven tons, the
limit for trucking loads. It is pro-
posed to amend the license fees
making the minimum two tons and
then charge in accordance to the ca
pacity of the trucks.
The most important item of the
highway legislation will have to deal
with the new roads, if any more are
to be constructed by the state. Usu-
ally, it is stated, commonwealth is
satisfied if one-tenth Of the roads
in the state are state roads. In this
particular, Delaware is already
ahead of this ratio, having more than
one-tenth of the highways built by
state money. There is still a great
demand for lateral roads, and the
legislature will have to decide how
many, if any, more state roads are
to be built, or if the lateral roads
shall be left to the various commu-
mites to construct.

new TRIAL REFUSED
in POINTER CASE
In Decision Handed Down By
Judges, Townsend Company
Is Refused New Trial.

Judges Rice and Rodney handed
down a decision last week refusing
the application for a new trial in the
case of Mrs. Georgia Poynter VS..
The John G. Townsend, Jr., and Son
Lumber Company in which a verdict
awarding $3.50 damages to Mrs.
Poynter was returned.
The case was tried at the Feb
ruary term of Court and a verdict
returned as described above. A mo-
ton for new trial was filed i'm
mediately following the return of
the verdict and argument on the
motion was heard at the April term
of Court. At the conclusion of the ar
gument the Court reserved their de-
cision. Mrs. Poynter was represented
by James H. Hughes and the Town
send Company was represented by
Daniel J. Layton of Georgetown and
A. B. Magee.
Mrs. Poynter brought the suit to
recover damages for the death of
her husband, Carl Poynter, who died
of injuries received when an auto
mobile in which he was riding, col
lided with a large truck of the
Townsend Company at the Redden
cross roads, along the du Pont boul-
evard, in Sussex county.
It was the claim of the plaintiff
that the truck was standing along
the highway after sunset without a
red light showing from the rear.
The trial consumed two days and at
tracted wide spread attention.
Whether or not the defendants will
appeal their case to the Supreme
Court could not be learned.

STATE TROOPS WILL
VISIT SUSSEX COUNTY
As Part Of Annual Training They
Will Travel To RehObOth Beach.
In Milford Over Night.

John P. LeFevre of Dover with
\other officers of the 198th Artillery
lAnti-Aircraft were in conference al
Dover last week relative to the
| transportation and stopping off en-
route of the Delaware troops, on
their way to Rehoboth from the
Estate Rifle Range during the month
Of August to the regular summer
camp of instruction.
The troops will assemble at the
State Rifle Range near New Castle
the first five days in August and
then will proceed to RehobOth by
motor vehicles, stopping off at Mil
ford over night on the way down and
at Dover on the return trip.
The lot on the. west side of North
Walnut street, opposite the Kent
garage, is the site chosen for the
soldiers camp while here. 1t is more
than likely that demonstration of
the use of the anti-aircraft guns will
be made in the evening. Future an
nouncements will be made as to the
date on which the troops will be in
Milford.
The transportation of the troops
and equipment will be made in sew
enty-five motor trucks. There will
also be with the troops or at the en-
campment detachment of the SD
regiment of the Regular U. S. Army
who will come as instructors.
At Rehoboth a delightful and de-
sirable spot has been selected in the
new addition to Rehoboth known as
Rehoboth Heights. Airplanes from
the Aberdeen proving grounds will
be at Rehoboth to demonstrate tar
get shooting from the air, as well as
the shooting at balloons. The air
planes will carry large searchlights
at night so that the target will be
visible.
The program as mapped out for
the Delaware regiment is consider
ed one of the most elaborate in the
country, and in fact it is said that
in no other State in the Union Will
there be the advantages given as will
be afforded the Delaware troops IN
the coming encampment to learn OF
military training both on land and IN
the air.
Several heavy guns will also be at
the encampment for use in shooting
targets.

young son Of R. Arthur Derrickson.
clothing merchant in Milford, is the
proud possessor of a base ball which
he received this week, and which
had been autographed by George Sis
Ter, manager Of the st. Louis
Browns. The boys father was at the
AthleticsSt. Louis game on Monday
afternoon and sat just back Of the
st. Louis dugout. Immediately after
the game he yelled to Sisler and
called him to the grandstand. He ex-
planned to him that his son was a
real "Sisler fam" and asked him if
he had an old base ball which he
might bring to him from the st.
Louis manager. Sisler took Mr.. Der
rickson to the club house where he
got a new base ball, wrote his name
on it and sent it to young "Tom"
with his compliments. The boy has
given the ball place of honor in
the bookcase at the Derrickson
home. All of the boys on South Wal
nut street have been real Sisler
rooters for years, and when the ball
arrived here they made trips to see

Farmers Short Course At
University of DEL Aug. So

: is working out a program for these
boys at the University Farm during
the Farmers Day."
Orchard men will be interested in
some of the fruit spraying tests,
the peach nitrogen fertilizer blocks,
and the variety orchards. Grape
growers should be interested in the
variety vineyard, while the fertility
rotation plots will be of interest to
general farmers. Fifteen years re-
suits on these plots have just been
published, and the results will be ex-
planned by the Agronomy Depart
ment.

interested in the swine. and cattle
herds. The swine plant has been
replanned since last year, and the
system of management should ap-
peal to hog raisers.
The poultry plant will be open to
inspection and the superintendent,
Mr.. Mumford, will be on hand to
answer questions.
The speaking program will begin
at 1870 p. m. and the general in

KENT And SUSSEX
FAIR OPENS NEXT
TUESDAY, JULY 29
Exhibitions Are Much Larger And
More Varied Than In Past
Seasons.
HORSE RACING EACH DAY
This Feature Of The Fair Is One
Of The Finest Ever Staged.
A Good Time For All.

Everything is in tiptop shape fol
the opening of the Kent & SUSSEX
Fair, which starts next Tuesday and
continues for five big days. The Off.
GERS of the Fair Association, headed
by State Senator Charles D. MUIR
ply, have left no stone unturned to
make this seasons show the best in
the history of the organization, and
to judge from the program which
has been issued they have succeed
ed in their purpose.
The Kent G Sussex County Fair
has become a real institution in the
lower counties of the State. Not
only is it place for thousands of
DelaWareans to gather, exchange the
pleasantries of the day and enjoy
the many attractions, but it has be-
come an affair of great educational
value, especially to those interested
in agricultural pursuits, because of
the numerous exhibits of farm pro-
duce, stock, fruit and other things of
interest to Mr.. and Mrs. Farmer.
That the exhibits will be larger
then ever before is proven conclus-
lively by the fact that additional
space was secured from the associa-
tion this season, by exhibitors who
are planning worth while exhibits.
This is particularly so in the live
stock department where some of the
finest blooded, pedigreed stock in the
State has been entered.
The center of attraction for the
farmer will of course center around
the agriculture exhibits, but these
by no means comprise all the at
fractions of the fair. The big midway
will fairly blaze with electric lights,
where one will be able to buy any
thing from pink lemonade and pea
nuts to a full course dinner served
at the restaurant of W. E. Palmer, a !
well known caterer Of this section.
West Bright Light shows are again
the entertainment This is
one of the largest carnival compan-
les in the country, carrying in their |
own private train twenty-five rail-
road cars. They have fourteen shows
and five riding devices, all clean and
wholesome, supplying amusement
enough for the most exacting. There
is something to interest every mem
Der of the family.
Domestic Art Exhibits
Probably next to the agriculture
which will attract most ev-
the next center Of attraction |
will without a doubt be the exhibits |
of domestic arts and fine needlework.

SAUNDERS M. TRUTTT HURT
in AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

Saunders NJ Truitt, of Milford,
was severely injured last Wednes-
day evening when an automobile in
which he was riding, ran into tele-
phone pole. Mr.. Truitt had hired a
jitney driver to take him from Lewes
to Rehoboth. When they were traV-
cling over a piece of concrete road,
the shoulders of which had not been
completed, the car met another au-
tomObile proceeding north. The driv-
er of the jitney was blinded by the
glare from the lights on the ap-
preaching automobile and ran his
car off of the concrete, and into a
telephone pole along the road Mr..
Truitt was thrown through the wind
shield of the jitney, and his face
was badly cut in several places. He
also struck his left hip against the
door of the car. The pelvic bone was
fractured by the blow. Harold Grier,
of Milford, came along in his car
shortly after the accident and took
the injured man to the Beebe Hospi-
tal at Lewes, where an X-ray pic
ture disclosed the fractured bone.
He will probably be confined to the
bospital for five or six weeks.

REPORTS SAY THAT
DELAWARE'S FRUIT
CROP WILL BE LARGE
Apples, Peaches And Pears Will
Show The Largest Yield in
Several Years.
NATIONS CROP IS LARGE
Indications Are That Fruit Har-
vest Throughout The Country
Will Be Heavy.

Much more than the usual quanti,
ty of apples, peaches and pears will
be produced this season in the Eas.
tern and Southern States, according
to the July forecasts of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
The apple crop will be slightly de-
creased in Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania, and there will be decreases
of about 20 to 25 per cent in Cen
tral and Western States, but total
production for the United States is
expected to be 196,O00,OOO bushels
or almost exactly the same as last
season.
The apple crop is distinctly better
than last years in most of the North
Atlantic, South Atlantic and South
Central States, but everywhere else
it is materially smaller than that of
last year. In the last 10 years the
crop has been larger five times and
smaller five times than the forecast
for this season.
New York expects about one-third
more apples than were harvested a
year ago; New Jersey, one-fOurth
more; Delaware, one-tenth more and
Virginia perhaps up to 20 per cent
more.
The South Central States from
Kentucky and Alabama, west to Ok
lahoma and Texas, expect nearly
more than they had
last year and the best apple crop
since 1915.
Prospects for peaches are slightly
better than they were a month ago.
improvement in the cot
ton States is Offset partly by the de-
crease in California.
The forecast for Georgia has been
from 7,159,00O bushels to

above the high record for the State.
Increases, averaging z per. cent,
