Shape-Spring FrOsts Feared
William Lynch of near Georgetown,
in charge of one of the biggest peach
orchards in the State, owned by the
Chandler interests of Scranton, Pa,
and located between Georgetown and
Milton, after examining the buds and
the trees in the orchard, declares that
the cold weather is holding back the
trees properly, and there is every in
dication of a big crop of peaches.
Other orchard managers at Bridge
vile, between Georgetown and Mills
boro, and at Nassau give the same re
port. Lower Delaware is fortunate
in its mild climate and pleasant Win
ters. While Wilmington and Phila-
delphia folks were slipping and slid
ing through slush and snow, Sussex
county towns had neither snow nor ice
and overcoats were not needed. One
owner of several orchards in different
parts of the State a year ago noticed
a climatic disease starting on his
peach orchard near Dover. SuppOsing
that his other orchards were being at
tackled, he turned his attention to all
of them, only to find that his orchard
| in Sussex county had been touched by
the disease a week previous. An or
chard thirty miles north of Dover hac
not been touched This proved to hin
that, although but thirty-five miles
further south, central Sussex county
lands were at least a week earlier
than in the vicinity of Dover, while
the section thirty miles north was a
least a week later than Dover.

Millsboro, at the intersection of the
DUPONT Boulevard and the Millsboro
Mission road, on December ~, last,

Court at Georgetown last week to

name following the accident; also to
the charge Of failing to report the ac-
cident to the police. Barker was IN
iured seriously. The court sentenced
! Rodney to thirty days in the Sussex
county Jail, which carries with it the
costs of prosecution. 1t was the first
case tried under the act passed by the
last General Assembly, which made II
an offense, in the event OF a collision
on the highway, not to stop and IN
ouire what damage was done; failing
to report the incident to the author

TODAY'S oVERWORKED WORDS

Unfortunately many Of those engaged

Maryland Road Would Aid Delaware

Maryland Road Would Aid Delaware
A bill now before the Maryland
Legislature is of vital interest to the
residents of lower Delaware, in that
if will provide a direct route to Bal
timore and other Western Maryland
points if it is enacted. The bill pro
vides for the construction of mod
ern highway from Denton to point
on the Eastern Shore opposite An
napoIs. The proposed highway would
be known as the Eastern Shore
Boulevard" and would pass through
Wve Mills and other Eastern Shore
towns. Should the highway be con-
structed the distance between Denton
and Baltimore would be shortened ma
terially and the long steamboat trip
now necessary would be curtailed. In
| fact the proposed route would only re-
quire about five miles of ferrying.
Delaware is now constructing two new
highwavs-one from Harrington to
connect with Denton and the other
from Bridgeville to connect with Fed
eralsburg. This latter road, with the
new highways would give an excellent
route from Baltimore and Westerr
MARYLAND to the good roads of Della
ware; also a short route to the Del
aware ocean resorts and Lewes, wher'
the proposed Delaware-New Jerse!
. ferry would transport motorists t
Cape May.

captured the heart of. Millicent

iect because I'm an Austrian and
divorced, but my reception by him
was beyond criticism. He turned over
his apartment to US. told us to stay
month or two and then went away
to Tuxedo"
The count remarked that all was
well with the colonel, whereupon the
countess. laughingly, toying with a
cigarette, interrupted him, saying:
Well. l wouldn't go SO far as to
say that"
The young couple plan to sail away
to Austria in couple Of months and
the count plans to enter the tennis

situation. We (probably meaning
