NO AUTO TAGS UNTIL
TITLE IS RETURNED
Secretary OF State Taylor Issues
New Order In Regard To Autos

Local automobile dealers and
magistrates last week were notified
of ruling by William G. Taylor,
Secretary of State, in which he for
bid the issuing of motor vehicle tags
for automobiles before the return of
the title papers in their proper form
from his office.
This ruling, it is said, will af-
feet owners of cars just purchased
from local dealers in that they will
not be allowed to operate them un-
til the title papers are returned
from Dover, which at times means
a delay of several days. The titling
department, however, feels that the
move is necessary to insure the
proper operation of the office. The
notice from Secretary of State Tay-
lOr reads as follows:
"The practice of issuing motor We
hicle tags as soon as application is
made without waiting for return of
title in proper form has resulted in
confusion. In fact
many owners are operating cars
any legal title.
ITO avoid this confusion you are
directed from and after this date to
make no delivery CT tags until new
certificate of title has been received
by you from this Office.

MILFORD STORES WILL
CLOSE MEMORIAL DAY
Majority OF Business Places Will
Keep Open Friday Night Before
The Holiday.

A canvass of the business section
of Milford this week shows that the
majority of the Milford merchants
will close their stores on Saturday,
May 30th, which is Decoration Day,
a national holiday. The merchants
are almost a unit in agreeing to keep
their places of business open on Fri
day evening preceding the holiday
in order that the public may be Civ
en- an opportunity to do their week
end shopping. While definite an
nOuncement of the plans Of the mer-
chants has not been made, it is pret-
ty generally accepted that Saturday,
May Both, will be celebrated as a
holiday here. The grocers and butch
ers this week decided to remain open
all day Saturday, May 30th, to take
care of their trade.
In deciding to close on Memorial
Day the merchants are falling in line
with the other towns on the penin-
sula where the holiday will be cele-
brated the same as if it had fallen
on any other week day.

NEXT SUNDAY WILL
BE MOTHERS DAY
Annual Event In Honor OF ''Her"
Will Be Celebrated Nationally
May 10th.

Honor to the mothers of the ma
tiOn will be paid by millions thru
out the United States next Sunday,
and Milford, as usual, will pay hom-
age in churches and by wearing the
flower cOnsecrated to her by gen
.efal custom. The occasion will be
the seventeenth annual observance
of Mothers Day.
The white caTanatiOn has by uni
versal consent been selected as the
flower to be worn, although white
roses, or white flowers are used,
sometimes with bow of white rib
bon. White, however, is the symbol
OF the day
The day VIII be observed very gen
orally in the churches Of Milford,
and sermons will be given by the re-
spective pastors dwelling on the
part played by mothers in the vari-
Gus doing of life, and the part play
ed by mothers in shaping the desti-
nies of the nation.
In addition to special mothers
the day is also symbolized
by remerbrances and boxes of candy

made to express, feebly perhaps,
some sense of the deep obligation
hat is felt to the mothers of the
'ace.
Mothers Day was set apart as the
'esult of efforts of Miss Anna Jar
us, of Philadelphia, who conceived |
he idea of devOting one day in the
year to a recognition of what was
)wel to mothers. After long and
persistent agitation of the subject,
he second Sunday in May was Sc
ected as Mothers Day, and it is
low generally observed all over the
country.
The slogan of Mothers Day is
To the Memory of the Best Mother
That Ever Lived" and the idea is to
ring happiness by doing some kind
ct of remembrance, whether it be
card, a box of candy, or some gift
nd by wearing a white flower.

which there were no serious results

cOrding to Chief Courtney, Mr.. Bar
low agreed to pay for the repairs

LEGION PLANS DRIVE
ON ENDOWMENT FUND
Jay NJ. Holmes Named As State
Chairman By Executive Committee

At a meeting of the State Executive
held in Dover last Saturday after
noon tentative plans for the Legion
Endowment Campaign, which will
be inaugurated in this State within
the next few days, were agreed upon
The campaign will be directed by
Jay M. Holmes, who has been select
ed as the State chairman. Mr..
Holmes will have an assistant chair
man in each of the counties.
In discussing the proposed En-
dOwment Campaign, Lester P. Hud
son, State adjutant, stated that there
are at present 10000 orphans of
World War veterans in this country
and each day fifteen more former
service men die leaving children, in
many cases without visible means of
support. Continuing, Mr.. Hudson
explained that it is the purpose of
the American Legion to raise an en-
dowment fund, the interest from
which will be used for the educa-
ton and maintenance of the orphans
of World War veterans, and upon
the shoulders of the American Le-
giOn will be placed the responsible
lity of seeing that these orphans are
given the same opportunities for de-

PER CAPITA DEBT FOR
ENTIRE STATE $l36.8l
The Total, Including State, COun-
ty, City, School, Will Be
$32,112,415.

Every man, woman and child in
Delaware is shouldering a debt of
$136.81 each, or will be when the
bond issues authorized by the last
session of the Delaware State Legis-
lature are put into effect. The
States total bonded Indebtedness
and that for its various county dist
sions and the city of Wilmington,
but not including the incorporated
towns throughout the State together
with the school indebtedness third
out the State and in Wilmington
will amount TO $32,112,415 when the
issues of the last legislative session
are f1oated. Based on an estimate
population for July 1, 1925, made by
the Census Bureau, at Washington,
which population figure is 234,720,
per capita debt amounts to the fig
ures quoted above.
While broadly the per capita bas-
is may be stated as above, actually
it does not apply to the individual
taxpayer to that extent, for a Will
mington taxpayer, for instance, has
to assume his pro rata of city, coun-
ty, State and school indebtedness,
but has no responsibility for the
bonded debt of Kent and Sussex

JOHN C. TOWNSEND, JR.,
BUYS APPLE COMPANY
Valuable Property Near BridgeVille
Sold For S56,5OO On Monday

Former Governor John G. Town
send, Jr., bought the Delaware Apple
Company farm near Bridgeville at
receivers sale Monday morning for
S56,500. This was the only bid re-
ceived
The property was first put up for
sale last February when the highest
bid was $4,000 after which Henry
Ridgely, receiver filed a petition for
a resale and the time was fixed
for the resale for Monday. In ask
ing for the resale the receiver
made known that he had an offer of
$56,5OO for the property from Mr..
Townsend.
Former Governor Townsend
agreed to fertilize and spray the
orchards during the spring at an eX-
pense not exceeding 100000, for
which he was to receive receivers
certificates.
Mr.. Ridgely was appointed re-
ceiver last fall on the petition of
Edward L. McCusker, of Philadel-
phia, a stockholder and creditor.
The orchard at Bridgeville is
about ten years old and contains
$1,000 trees. These trees came into
bearing about two years ago, when
the apple crop was up against one
of it's worst seasons.
The orchard has cost the COM
pany approximately $4,000 in set
ting, cultivating and fertiliZing. This
amount also includes the first cost
of land on which the orchard is sit
mated.
