Let Us Make Greetings Ring With
Good Cheer


Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
These are greetings which every
body uses. and which we hear from
the lips of all alike-"rich man, poor
man, beggar man, thief, doctor, law
yer, merchant, chief" But to how
many of us do the words live? Are
they not for the most part q nj re
meaningless formula without even
the inspiration behind them that US
ually prompts our spontaneous
"hello?"
Let 1t be different this year.
Let us back these joyous greetings
with hearty enthusiasm. AS a man
may be judged by his handshake, so
may he be judged by his salutations.
Let these time-worn phrases take on
new life and become time -honored
phrases.
Let us mean
Good morning!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!

STATE GOVERNMENT
TO WAR ON BEETLE
Officials Conferred Last Friday
At DOver-Campaign To Start
June 18th.

L. B. Smith, entomologist in the
employ of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, who last sum-
mer was active in Delaware in the
fight against the dreaded Japanese
beetle, conferred with Ralph S. Will
son, in Dover on Friday, relative to
plans for the coming crusade against
the insect pest which the govern
ment and State Of Delaware will
Jointly wage this year.
According to the tentative plans
which are being mapped out, the
government agents and forces will
take charge of the scouting and nur-
sery work, leaving to the Delaware
workers the job of maintaining
quarantine wherever it is consider
ed necessary. Last year the govern
ment had to wage the battle practi-
cally alone, because there were no
'',nds available in Delaware.
This past winter the legislature
refused a fixed appropriation to the
State Board of Agriculture TO fight
the beetle but did enact an emer-
gency bill which places on Governor
Robinson the responsibility for it's
expenditure. If the governor feels
that certain things are necessary,
then he will direct the State Board
of Agriculture to proceed and if he
cannot see the wisdom of any course,
none will be taken. 1t is because the
governor is a farmer-banker and
knows what is needed to protect
Delaware crops and fruits, as well
as any one in the state, that the Cen
eral Assembly placed the spending
Of the emergency appropriation in
his jurisdiction.
The headquarters against the bee /
lie will be in Wilmington. Whining
ION, Brandywine and Christiana
are in the zone where the |
beetle is expected to appear. AS a |
fruit and vegetables |
rom lower Delaware can be shipped
% Philadelphia which is in the same /
position as Wilmington, but goods !
rom Philadelphia and Wilmington /
will not be allowed to pass the quar-
lntine lines below Wilmington for /
ear of communicating the growing
,rops of Delaware.
AS the plans are now being made
he beetle war will start about June
Is. The state officials expect 70 place

ruit and vegetables coming from

ing complimented for the delightful

Last year at the close of the

spite of the fact, that the large au-

The officers of the Carlisle Fire
Company felt that the people of the
community would support the conf

advertising and selling tickets for
the 1925 Chautauqua. They signed
the contract, whereby, for the sum

nearby farmers in their effort to
bring to Milford, good clean enter

WOULD FREE STATE OF
TUBERCULAR CATTLE
Board of Agriculture and Federal
Agents Cooperate In Fight

Under the direction of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, at Washington,
d. c., the Delaware State Board of
Agriculture is cooperating in a
campaign in lower Delaware to erad-
icate tuberculosis among dairy cat
tie. 1t is the idea of County Agent
Molloy c. Vaughn of Sussex, to have
every farm visited where the cattle
have not been tested in order to
completely eliminate the disease.
Those in charge of the work are gov
ernment experts and with the CO.
operation of the farmers they are
planning to visit every locality. Fol-
lowing is the list of men at work on
the project and the places where
they are located at present: DR.. w.
C. Middleton of Trenton. N. J., SUI
pervisor of the work; DR.. ]. R. Por-
teus, located at Laurel; DR.. ]. F.
Creedon, located at Seaford; DR.. E.
A. Birmingham, located at George
town; DR.. R. NJ. Sarde, located at
Milford.
According to the best available
figures at this time, there are about
1900 COWS in Sussex county, 70 per
cent of them being free Of tubercu-
losis. The drive now on to entirely
eradicate the disease is for the pur-
pose of placing lower Delaware on
the modified accredited area list Of
counties in the United States. which
will mean much to the cattle grow
ers and dairy interests Of this Sec
ton.

RAT In BAKERY GIVES
MEN A REAL FIGHT
Local Correspondent Gives Thrilling
Account OF Combat

A local correspondent for one of
the Wilmington evening papers sent
in a story concerning a cOrnered rat
which is replete with thrills. The
story is reprinted as it appeared in
Monday evenings Journal. 1t fol-
lows:
Great excitement was caused in
Milford, Friday night by a rat,
whose round up" caused more con-
sternation and played more havoc
than would the capture of some wild
beast or desperate criminal.
As a result Of the encounter one
man was taken to the hospital, and
plate glass case smashed. After
the rodent had put to rout some of
Milford's bravest the police force,
was called and finally killed the rat.
The injured man is Harry War
die, formerly Of Wilmington, who
suffered a deep cash in the leg. He
was sent to the hospital where four
stitches were taken in the wound.
The encounter occurred in the
Of the Milford Bakery
with Horace Pettyjohn, proprietor
of the establishment, a former cir
Gus man who, on many occasions has
entered cages of lions. Harry War

Wilmington police force and Will

THREE STATIONS FOR
SENDING OUT FARM PRODUCTS
MiddletOWn, Dover and Milford To
Be Distributing Points

While the POstoffice Department is
not quite ready to announce the
routes on which the truck-and-dairy
farm produce delivery-to-customer
experiment will be tried out in Del
aware, the understanding is that
there will be three experimental
routes in the state, instead Of two,
as first contemplated, and that they
will be on routes radiating from
MiddletOwn, Dover and Milford, re-
spectively.
These communities are said to be
in the midst of good farm and truck
ing regions and the routes on good
highways, so that the experiments
will have the advantage Of favoring
conditions.
Wilmington is left out for the rea-
son that the rural carrier would
find it a laborious task to make de-
liveries in so large place. 1t is not
to be inferred, however, that Will
mington would be left out if the ex-
pertinent should result in the adop-
tion of the plan as permanent part
of rural delivery service.
The effort which the experiment
comprises is to put the farm and
dairy producer into direct and mex
pensive and regular and periodic
contact with the consumer. The plan
does things to the middlemen, who
naturally are not regarded as en-
thusiastic about it.
So far as the carriers are concern
ed, the postofTice department admits
that not all of them appear 10 take
to it, the statement rejecting the
attitude of carriers in various parts
of the country, rather than any one
state. It is the hope and belief of
the department, however, that the
experiment will dissipate some of
the pessimism of hesitant carriers
and cause a reversal of their atti-
tude.
Carrier compensation is One-half
the receipts from the sale Of stamps
to cover cost Of postage on the pro-
duce.
