ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED
Miss Katherine Davis of Milford to
Wed Grier Baynum Son G. H. Baynum

Miss Katherine Davis of Milford to
Wed Grier Baynum Son G. H. Baynum
On Saturday afternoon, May %, at
a very delightful bridge party, Mr..
and Mrs. Robert P. Davis announced
the engagement of their charming
daughter, Katherine, to Mr. Grier
Baynum, son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
H. Baynum. From twO-thirty until
five o'clock the guests played cards
at nine tables. Refreshments were
served at this time and the secret was
found between two candy hearts.
Flowers, tallys, candies, ice cream and
cakes were in keeping with the color
scheme-green and yellow. The we'd
ding will probably take place in the
fall, after which the young couple will
live in Toronto, Canada, where Mr..
Baynum is employed in the labOra-
tories of the L. D. Caulk Co. Those
who enjoyed Mrs. Davis hospitality
were: Misses Katherine Pennewill,
Pauline Steele, Gwendelin Steele,
Clara Frame, Mrs. William Richard
son and Mrs. Alden Richardson, of
Dover; Miss Frances Jones, of
Georgetown; Misses Roma Smith,

charge. These charges were brought
against the men by Chris Christensen
who resides on the farm known as the
old "Fisher Farm" between Milford
and Houston. Both men are white. The
story connected with their trouble is
interesting.
For several weeks past Mr.. Christ
ensen has been missing his chickens,
until total of approximately six
hundred fowls have disappeared.
When things reached this stage, he
fitted up a room in one of the poultry
houses as a bed room and commenc-
ed to sleep there to guard his prop
erty. On Tuesday night, shortly after
he had gone to the poultry house, he
was attracted by a flashlight being
used in the house. Two men were
standing within a few feet of the spot
where he was hidden. He says that
he could easily have killed both of
them, had he so desired. When they
saw him they ran, but not before he
had shot at them as they disappear
ed around the poultry houses.
In their effort to escape one of the
men lost his cap, and they abandoned
an automobile that they had left in
the public road several yards from the
Christensen property. The men had
brought a chicken coop covered with
a blanket to the poultry houses with
them, and beside the abandoned au-
tOmobile two more coOps were left
The automobile license tag number
showed that Wisserman was the own
er of the car. A watch was kept for
any persons who might come after the
car, and on Wednesday afternoon
Wisserman came for the car. He was
captured and taken before Justice Of
the Peace Hendrixson who held him
under 100000 bail for court. He did
not secure bail and was taken to the
Dover Jail to await trial. The writ for
the arrest of Messick was issued when
the cap found indicated that he was
! the owner of it.

10000 PERSONS SEE VETERANS
HOME DEDICATED, REHOBOTH
PENNSYLVANIA R. r. OFFICIALS
TAKE PART IN THE EXERCISES
Fred A. Ross, of Clayton, Acts AS
Chairman and Railroad Men Were
There From Nearby Divisions

Ten thousand people witnessed the
dedication of the First Veterans
Home ever erected in the east by en-
plOyes of any railroad company at
Rehoboth on Decoration Day. The
new home was erected at Rehoboth
Beach with accommodations for many
of the old employees Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company who are
privileged to come and spend as much
of the summer as they please at the
ocean. The home is a substantially
built brick and frame structure, two
stories in height. The second floor
consists of an auditorium 40 feet by
go feet, and a porch 10 feet long
with concrete floors and having an
unObstructed view of ocean and beach.
The first floor contains five rooms
which can be used by the veterans
and their families for brief vacations
at the beach. In addition, lockers,
showers, ETC., for ocean bathing are
also provided. Facilities for light
housekeeping are also provided for
those who desire to utilize them. The
cost of the building was approximate
ly $4,000, and has been borne en-
tirely by the veterans and their
friends.
Fellowship Purpose of Home
The purpose of building the sea-
shore home was to make the Vet
erans' Association stand for some
thing more than a meeting and din
ner once a year. Instead of getting
together once in 365 days, the home
now provides the veterans with a
place for meeting each other every
one Of the 365 days in the year. The
Veterans Association of the Delaware
Division was organized in 1909 The
principal qualifications for member

Pennsylvania Railroad. The present
membership is approximately 400

speech of welcome, while his daugh

VVEAF CHARGES.
. FOR RIGHT To
BROADCAST
American Telephone Company
Said to Charge $40
a Minute.

The American Telephone ana
Telegraph Company operates sta
tion WEAF. New York city at i
profit, by charging for the privilege
of broadcasting. on the basis that
broadcasting constitutes advertising
for the artists. persons or concerns
that put the programs on the air.
The American Telephone and Tsle-
graph Company owns the Chesar
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany which operates station WCAP,
where charges are also made for
broadcasting. Whether or not the
local station is on q paying basis
yet IL doubtful VII
No other station in the United
States IL able to collect, fees from
those broadcasting. The telephone
company owns certain patent rights
on vacuum tubes Of the kind used
for broadcasting, and only sells
these tubes to other broadcastere
upon the agreement that they will
not charge for their use. In this
way the phone company prevents
any other company from collecting
revenue az a result of the advertis.
ing 1t receives from broadcasting.
This situation was explained to-
day by the officials Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
when its attention was directed to
the protests of radio listeners
against the charges made by
WEAF, which charges in turn came
to light In letters attacking the
proposed plan to collect funds from
listeners-in to pay artists to broad
cast over WEAF. The protest was
expressed most vigorously by

VALUABLE TO STATIONS

Postal cards are cheap, but they
serve to convey to broadcast sta

many times the cost of the card.
Radio stations and performers get
no other applause. Suggestions as
to time periods, type of entertain.

In form or type Of announcements.
criticisms Of program contents or
arrangement, and many other
things are Of value to those who
