LEGION AID TO BOY SCOUTS
Pointed Out That Service Men Could
Prove of Benefit To Scout Movement

Pointed Out That Service Men Could
Prove of Benefit To Scout Movement
Plans whereby American Legion
posts throughout Delaware may prove
of benefit to the Boy Scout movement
and themselves receive some of the
enthusiasm inherent in the coming
generation, got underway at a meet
ing held at Milford. Wherever there
is a post, it is hoped a Boy Scout
troop will be organized and in addi-
tiOn to this, many towns where there
are no posts, it is expected troop of
Boy Scouts will be started before the
year is out. Milford has thriving
post and Boy Scout troop. Other
towns, Dover, Harrington, George
town, Milton, Laurel, Lewes, Ellen
dale, Smyrna and Lincoln were re-
presented at the meeting, and these
towns either have troops or are dis
cussing plans for the organization of
such body. In the work of organi-
zatiOn, any of the towns can have the
aid of Amos R. Shields, of Whining
ton Council, Boy Scouts of America.
Mr.. Shields is a veteran Of the world
war and a man of wide experience in
scouting. 1t is stated that it is not
the intention of Wilmington Council
to attempt to organize troops any
where, but the Council is willing to
help the citizens of any town who
show a desire to organize the boys
into a troop. In this organization
work Mr.. Shields is available and
would be of great help to any COM
munity. At the Milford meeting,
Josiah Marvel stressed the great
value the American Legion posts
could be to their communities and
urged them to get back of all good
movements and show their Ameri-
canism. In this he believed there was
nothing better they could do than to
aid in the organization or support of
Boy Scout troops. Scout Executive
Shields spoke on some of the essen
tial details needed in organizing a
Scout troop and of the demand for
Scout leadership. William P. White
who led community singing at the
meeting made such a hit that instead
of ten minutes, at least half hour was
devoted to community singing.

AMERICAN LEGION AT MILFORD
EX-Service Men Form Post With T.
Carlisle Collins First Commander

EX-Service Men Form Post With 7.
Carlisle Collins First Commander
At a meeting in the Grange Hall
in Milford last Friday evening a new
American Legion Post was organized
in Milford. The meeting was held by
the State Legion officers who felt that
Milford should have an active post
one that could be of good to the COM
munity, and in which the veterans of
the World War might become men,
bers. The officers of the Milford
Post, a name for which has not been
selected as yet, were elected as fol-
lows: 7. Carlisle Collins, Post Com
mander; Anthony Summers, Vice
Commander; Dr. Clyde Nelson, Ad-
jutant; H. c. Grier, Finance Officer;
Bayard Burn, Chaplain; A. d. Lank,
Historian; James Hudson, Sergeant
alarms.
Josiah Marvel, President of the
Delaware Bar Association, was the
principal speaker at the meeting on
Friday. He urged the veterans to
uphold their war service record by be-
coming peoce service citizens. In
speaking of the great service that the
Legion could do in a community, ne
especially recommended that they
sponsor the Boy Scout movement and
aid the youngsters in the work
Col. Theodore Townsend, in open
ing the Milford meeting, assured the
legionaires that Sussex county would
be only too glad to have active Legion
Posts in every community and urged
the veterans to take advantage of the
opportunity to make their influence
felt at this time.
The meeting in Milford was the
first of a series of like meetings which
will be held throughout the lower part
of the state,with the idea of strength
ening the legion. According to Les
ter P. Hudson, state adjutant, the
meeting in Milford has convinced the
legion officials that lower Delaware
welcomes the opportunity to engage
in American Legion activities, espec-
tally in view of the fact that the pres
ent administration is determined to
make the organization a community
asset in every possible way.
At the present time one of the most
active down-state legion posts is the
David C. Harrison post of Smyrna,
which are soliciting funds to purch-
ase an ambulance and turn it over to
the town. Walter L.FoX Post, of Do
yer, and Harrington Post, No. Z, are
also actively engaged in community
work and at the present time are de
voting much time to their educational
and Americanization program.

On Wednesday evening, shortly af-
ter o'clock, an attempt was made to
hold up an automobile owned and
driven by Buford T. Lunt, of New
Castle, on the State Highway, near
Minquadale. Accompanying Mr.. Lunt
were City Clerk George Allen Smith,
wife and daughter, Miss Alpha Smith
The operator of the car was proceed
ing from Wilmington to New Castle
and while opposite a woods, a whistle
was sounded. Mr.. Lunt thinking it
was police whistle slowed up to
make an investigation. A man cloth
ed in overalls and jumper ran to the
middle of the road and waved his
hand to stop. Mr.. Lunt failed to halt
and reported the matter to the State
Highway police who made an inveS-
tigation.

BUTTER AT LOW LEVEL.
Price Depression During Week
Most Pronounced of Season.

CHICAGO. April 12-Butter prices
this week reached the lowest level of
the season. Following the lead of
New York, where sharp declines oc-
CURED, conditions at all points as
sumed the characteristics of weak
and unsettled markets.
The chief factor was the general
sentiment that prices must go lower,
based on weak foreign markets,
heavier current arrivals and a con-
siderable storage stock surplus over
the corresponding week last year
A slow increase in production was
indicated by reports OF the American
Association of Creamery Butter Man
ufacturers, which showed 33 per
cent increase over last year, and re-
ports from smaller creameries showed
a slightly larger make The Mime

Foreign butter caused nervousness,
with New Zealand and Argentine
finding very slow sale at declining
prices. Arrivals included zoo casks
from Holland and 500 boxes of Ar
gentine and 1887 boxes of a New
Zealand shipment in New York har-
Dor were unloaded for domestic
markets A shipment of 5000 casks

REPORT is ADVERSE
TO new RAILWAY line
7. C. c. Examiners Turn Down Pro.
posal for Fifty-Mile Extension
Branch by NJ, Z. & T.

A recommendation that the Okmul-
gee Northern Railway Company be
denied permission to build two exten-
sions totaling fifty miles was made
in a preliminary report today by In
terstate Commerce Commission ex-
aminers. The commission itself will
make the final decision.
The application was backed by the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad
Company, which seeks a branch into
the Henryetta- Okla, coal fields. The
Missouri. Kansas and Texas agreed
to purchase the entire capital stock
of the Okmulgee Northern if the ex-
tensions were built One of the pro-
posed extensions was from a point
south of Okmulgee. Okla, into Okfus-
kee county, Okla, fifteen and one-half
miles, the other was from the same
point in Okmulgee county, to Oktaha,
Muskogee county, Okla, twenty
six miles. where it would connect
with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
Total cost would be more than $1,000
600
The Okmulgee Chamber of Com
merce and the city of Okmulgee sup
ported the proposed extensions
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
the report said. is using oil-burning
engines, but the company claimed it
might be forced back to coal burners
at any time and would need a coal
supply on its own line,
The city of Okmulgee backed pro-
posals for the extentionS to bring the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas road
through the city.
The examiners held that the evil
dence showed there is an adequate
coal supply available for the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas in the Hen
ryetta field, and that to open a new
coal field there would cause an over
production.

STOCKS PAST WEEK
DROP TO new LOWS
Large Volume of Professional Short
Selling Based on Indications
of Slack Business.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 12-S took
prices crumbled to new low ground
this week under the weight of a large
volume of professional short selling,
apparently based on increasing indi-
cations of a slackening in business
activity. All the standard industrials
broke through their previous bottom
prices. but the selling pressure was
most effective in the motors and inde-
pendent steels.
Publication of the Dawes report,
while regarded as one OF the most i'm
portant economic developments since
the war, failed to have any infiu-
ence as an immediate stock market
factor, although it had temporarily
stiffening effect on the foreign ex-
change rates.
Trade news on which the bear at
tacks were founded included a reduc-
tion of slightly more than 10000
tons in the untitled orders of the
United States Steel Corporation,
drop of more than $4,000 cars in the
ioadings for tile week ended March
% as compared with a year ago, re-
ports of further curtailment in the
automobile industry and the relaxing
tendency of commodity prices.
tInlteQ SLttl 1lNh
sold above par last week. dropped to
below 96. Baldwin. Studebaker,
American Can and du Pont were
among the several score other issues
to sell at new low prices for the
year. American Sugar Refining selling
at the lowest price in it's history.
Woolworth broke more than 80 points
from it's recent high following the
announcement of the new recapitali-
zation plan and the proposed declara-
ton of a dividend equivalent to S12
on the present stock.
Oils held relatively steady in re-
fiection of the improved statistical
position OF the industry.
Railroads also offered stubborn re-
