grounds, equipment and all ready fol
use, the sum of 100000.
The gathering of people came from
not only Houston, but from the sur
rounding country and many of the
towns of lower Kent and nOrthwes-
tern Sussex counties. It was an edu-
cation for them, as to what is need
ed in Delaware for the children of her
public schools. The gift of this mod
ern school building by Mr.. Pierre du
POnt, through the School Auxiliary, is
an Occular demonstration for all peo-
pie, to learn just how money should
be expended to supply proper schools
for their children.
We build good barns-why not build
good school buildings?
Speakers prominent in educational
circles in the state addressed a crowd
of 500 people who gathered at the
dedication of the new public school
building at Houston, Delaware, two

pal of the school, made short speech
of appreciation for the gift of the

Mr.. Birmingham introduced DR.. H.

Public Schools.
DR.. Holloway in his speech said that
the educational authorities have
learned much in the last twenty-five
wears about the building of schools in
the state but have learned more about
the building of character of the boys
and girls. He said that, whereas 25
wears ago, the two teachers at the
same school were receiving $40 and
S35 a month that now the four teach |
ers of the school are receiving from
81 500 to $1,000 year. He pointed out |
that the teachers in these days are |
being paid more because they are DO
ing more for the education of the |
children.
He said that the people of Delaware
spend TX per cent of their incomes
for education and II per cent OF their
incomes for Iuxuries.

Highway Robbers In Milford.

After months illness William H.
HI. Davis, owner of a dozen or more
small tenements in the eastern part
of South Milford, went out last Satur-
day to collect the rents for the month
of March. He had made his round and
collections when two negroes, who
had followed him for a square, over
took him near his home on Second
street. One dropped his arm over the
shoulder of Mr.. Davis, who is "a years
old and has poor eyesight, and in
conversational tone spoke of how ac-
tive he was. While so occupied, the
second man stole his watch and chain,

GRANGE TO CELEBRATE
GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Milford Grange Has Been In Exis
tance Fifty Years Next Sunday
And Is Going Strong.
TO CELEBRATE ON MONDAY
All Grangers Who Attend Will
Bring Their Own Lunches And
Enjoy Basket Dinner.

Milford Grange, Patrons of Husban-
dry, will celebrate the fiftieth ami
versary of its organization here on
Monday next. Fifty years ago on Sun
day the grange was founded, but as
the anniversary date falls on the Sab
bath, fitting ceremonies have been
postponed until Monday evening at
1880 o'clock. The grangers are MAX
ing very elaborate preparations for a
proper program fitting for such an
occasion, and all those agriculturists
who attend will be more than repaid
for their efforts to attend The COM
mittee appointed to map out a plan
for the celebration met at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob ROOsa on Tues
day evening at which time many of
the details for the celebration were
formulated.
The feed" question was met in a
novel manner. After several plans had
been suggested and discarded, the
committee decided that possibly the
best manner in which to handle the
question would be to have every per-
son bring his or her own supper in a
big basket. This plan will give each
person who attends the opportunity to
prepare just what they desire for
their evening meal and at the same
time relieve the committee of much
work. It is one that should be pleas
ing to the grangers.
The committee expects such a large
of grangers at the meeting
that they have announced that persons
other than grangers will not be al
lowed at the celebration. The State
Master and all Pomona Masters with
their wives have been invited to be
present and make speeches. Jacob
Roosa will act as POSTMASTER for the
occasion and has prepared a list from
whom he expects to hear delightful
talks during the course of the meal.
The dinner will be served in the din
ng room of the new Grange Hall.
This Saturday evening Mr.. Wilson,
Kent County Apent, will talk on the

FORMAL OPENING OF
NASSAU MILK STATION
Several Hundred Sussex Farmers
And Dairymen Enjoy Most
Interesting Program.

Prominent dairymen and agricul-
turalists from all sections of lower
Delaware made an inspection of the
receiving and milk cooling station at
Nassau on Thursday of last week and
enjoyed the program given under the
auspices of the entertainment COM
mittee. Thomas R. Ingram, cashier of
the Lewes branch of the Sussex Trust
Company, acted as chairman of the
affair, while Brinser's Orchestra of
LeWes, furnished music during the
afternoon and evening.
The plant was put in operation on
Tuesday, April 1, and the price to be
paid the dairymen of the Nassau COM
munity will be $2.S5 per hundred
pounds at the plant.
c. I. Cohee, secretary of the Inter
state Milk Producers Association of
Philadelphia, was the first speaker
during the afternoon, following the
plant inspection. He congratulated
County Agent MOlloy c. Vaughn and
the committee for the work that had
been done in arousing the farmers to
the point where it was found possible
for the establishment of a cooling
station in the eastern section of Sus-
sex county. He touched on the meth
ods of work of the Interstate Milk
Producers Association, and told the
dairymen that while the price for milk
until January of next year had been
fixed that after that time they would
get regular market prices. In order
to have the plant opened at this time,
it was necessary for the Nassau Com
munity to produce a high grade milk
and sell at a lower price until the
are greatly increased.
Dean C. A. McCue of the University
of Delaware, told of the work that has
been done by the Extension Depart
ment through County Agent Vaughn

Tones Company, of Philadelphia;

ormer Congressman Hiram r. Bur-
on, of Lewes, were the speakers of
he evening.
One of the enjoyable social features

STATE INCOME TAX
MUST Be PAID MAY IS
If 1t Is Not, Collector Howard M.
Jester Says 1t Will Be Doubled
And Interest Added.

All taxables in the State who fail to
pay their 1928 State Income Tax and
filing fee on or before May 18th will
find that when the taxes are paid they
will be very materially increased. Af-
ter May 18th all unpaid taxes assessed
against any taxable will be doubled,
and in addition to this a penalty of
one per centum interest each month
will be charged until the tax is paid.
The State tax laws provide for this
method of increasing the unpaid taxes,
and Collector Howard M. Jester has
no option other than to see that the
law is strictly enforced.
This statement was made on Mon
day by Howard M. Jester, State In
come Tax Collector. An advertisement
printed in this weeks issue of The
Milford Chronicle is the final notice to
be given taxable, Mr.. Jester added.
Hereinbefore the State Tax Office has
sent individual notices to taxables-
warning them of penalties for failure
to pay their tax. This year no such
notices will be sent out.
"Any one under the impression that
they need not pay their tax until they
receive an individual notice is mis-
taken," Mr.. Jester said. "Some believe
that no penalties will be added to
their taxes until they receive such
notice. TOday's advertised notice is
the last that will be given.
'Taxables must pay on or before
May 18th if they would save money.
If they do not do so the taxes will be
doubled and one per cent interest
charged monthly or for each fraction
of a month from the time such taxes
were due and until the date of pay
ment "

PLACES BY BACK FIRE

Miss Laura D. Salevan had her
right wrist broken late Monday morn
ing last when the Ford car which she
was cranking kicked her. Miss Sale
van was attempting to crank the car
with the spark slightly advanced

bones in the wrist were broken very
close to the wrist joint. She was taken
to the Marshall Hospital where the
broken bones were reset and A-ray-

that the fractures were about as bad
as they had ever seen in a break OF
that character. Miss Salevan has been
at the Marshall Hospital since the ac-
cident. She is employed in the busi-
ness Office Of the Milford Chronicle
Publishing Company where she has
charge of the subscription depart
