ther which we are having.
John Beebe has added 100 acres to
his farm and is having cord wood cut.
Perhaps he will have about thirty
cords.
James Abbott and his sister, Mrs.
Clara Wilson, residents of Marcus
Hook, arrived here on Monday.
Two or three baskets of potatoes
have recently disappeared from Clar-
ence AbbOtt's potato pit.
Eggs are at a low price now, but we
hope they will soon be up again.
Farming time will soon be here and
so will lot of other things. Clarence
Abbott has been making a garden and
we hope he will have good luck in
having early vegetables.

Bowers Beach

VThe mild spring weather of last
week brought along the bay shore last
Friday a fine run of perch and other
kinds of fish.
Some of the fishermen concluded to
make a haul with a seine and they
were more than surprised when they
landed, at the quantity and more so
at the quality of the fish as quite a
large per cent of the fish were white
perch and of unusual size. v

moved down from Dover where they
have spent the winter, to their home

The Boys
Those who attended the basliet ball |
games at the Armory last Friday
night witnessed one of the most sue
no /
has ever enjoyed, come to a close.
A total of eighteen games have
been played by the boys, twelve of
which were victories for the locals
and an even better record has been
made by the girls, as they have par
ticipated in thirteen contests and all
but one resulted in victories.
Practically a veteran team was on
hand at the beginning of the season
as "Eggy" Denney was the only mem
ber not to return to school. Had this
team gone through the entire season
intact there is no doubt that Milford
would probably have won the cham
pionship of Sussex county, but Grit
fifth, Balsley, Locates, Brown and Far
ber were lost for part or all of the
season due to various reasons.
Captain Bill Smith has been the
of the team all season and is
conceded to be one of the best CEN +
-ers in the entire State. He has been ,
ably assisted by Brown, Farber, Hit {
,hens, Denney, Pratt, Holzmueller and
Sapp. Brown has played both forward r
md guard, and is one of the best floor I
nen on the team; Kitchens has also r
)een right in there fighting all the
ime and is one of the high scorers. 7
He nearly always gets five baskets a y
,ame. The loss of Smith, Kitchens and .
Iolzmueller by graduation will be 6
,eenly felt and will leave a big gap f
o be filled next year. \
Bill Ackerman has been coaching n
he team all season and has been as +
listed by Frank Barsby of the high v
choOl faculty.
Laurel was defeated twice by de- o.
isive scores each time. This was a
weet revenge for the local boys for p,
be two defeats suffered during the
Dot ball season. ",

SULPHUR GREATEST
 OUTPUT OF SICILY
And United States Is Greatest
 User of Mineral

Washington, D. C., April S.-The United States is the worlds greatest consumer of sulphur. Scientists main- tam that, in the twentieth century, a nations consumption of sulphur is a true measure of progress in civiliza- ton. Sulphur figures in practically every important manufacturing pro- cess.
 Not only does the United States consums more sulphur than any other nation: 1t has become since the war The outstanding producer of sulphur" says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. Back of this rise to preeminence," continues the bulletin, lis a world drama between machinery and muscle. in which the United States and Sicily played the leading roles.
 The United States, armed with steam pipes, won. Sicily, actually starving, was about to give mp when the American sulphur producers made an arrangement to lot Sicily serve the entire Italian market and ship a cer- tain amount 10 other countries. It was an echo Of the industrial reyolu- ton of the 18th century when ma chimes began to do mems work.
 Sicilian Mining Primitive.
 Sicily in certain localities still mines sulphur as il. was mined hun ireds of years ago: even as the Aztccs mined gold and silver by laboriously carrying ore up in baskets. In some places the old smelting process is in use. This consists of erecting a pile of sulphur. ignting it and letting the sulphur's own heat melt tho ore. Only 60 per cent of the mineral is reeoy- cred by this crude process and the product is impure. Better mines have cones in which the sulphur is melted md in some cases it takes in a yola- :iie form, cooled to liquid. and then 70 a solid block called 'zolfogreggio.'
 Driven by competition Sicilians ised children in the mines. Child-la- DOT presented itself in it's most hor- 'ibe aspects as children of seven and tight years tngged at baskets of ore n ill-madc mines. Many were pcrma- gently deformed by the burdens. lases engcndcrod by sulphur com pounds make the mines unusually dangerous.
 Sulphur is found in paying quanti- ties in many parts of the United states, but tho richest deposits were discovered in Louisiana and Texas, near the coast, Here thousands of dol- lars and many lives wehe lost in wrestling sulphur from Nature. Quick

phur melts at .40 degrees Fahren- heit so it dissolved in the water. Hot air under compression Was forced down a second pipe and soon hot water with liauetied sulphur came spouting mp he third pipe. Tho stream from n sulphur we'll is direct cd into bins where the water is taken off leaving the mineral generally more than go per cent pure. steam shovels load it direct to freight cars. Economies of this process excluded the competition of cheapest sieilian labor. Tho United States now pro-
New Britain herald., 1924-04-08

duces 1,s00.00O tons annually. almost nine times as much as Sicily mines.
 If the world had known that T na- ton could be judged by it's sulphur. England might have realized at once the American colonies importance. Tho first orc shipment. ever made from the United States was sulphur. When Captain John Smith established the Jamestown settlement in 1907. the colonists spent more time hunting gold than planting crops. Ships start ing back for England filled their holds with what we now call fools gold The precious yellow mineral the col onists unearthed was sulphur: they sent pyrites back to England"

NEW YORK IS NOW TABOO
Hobocs Stcar Clear of the Big City Arc Becoming Almost Extinct Along "Sidcwaiks of New York

New York. April S.-The hobo is becoming extinct along the sidewalks of New York. \ eheek-up by well fare societies of the flop houses" on the Bowery and other fayoritc haunts of the genus bears out the statement.
 Tho Hobo college, famed as an East Side hostelry for those of the rowing nature, is still open to the public. but its registry cannot boast the records it used to.

SNOW IN WHITE MOUNTAINS
DEEPER THAN IN FOUR YEARS

The storms, accompanied by preci-
pitation of Importance prevailed in
the White Mountain region during
the week. The superintendent of the
tt. Apache Indian agency reports
that the storm was general all
through the White Mountains and
that the fall of snow was heavier
at higher elevations. 1t is his esti-
mate that there is more snow in the
mountains at present than at any
time in the last four years. Should
the warm weather follow, the run
off into the Roosevelt reservoir is
to be very heavy; even a
normal flow fed by springs will be
heavier this year than for three or
four years past.
