laying contest with the agreement
to keep an accurate record of the

spective focks for the period of one
year, according to an announce
ment made by County Agent Russell

this particular project during the
past few weeks in all sections of

These siXty-two poultrymen repre-
sent some of the most progressive

derable publicity has been given to
this farm egg-laying contest which
started November LIST of this year
under the direction of the Poultry
Extension Department of the Uni
versity of Delaware in cooperation
with the County Agent in each of
the three counties, consequently a
large number of poultrymen through
out the state have become interest
ed in this project and have agreed
to enter the contest.
This project will be conducted I'M
der the personal supervision of H.
S. Palmer, Extension Poultryman of
the University of Delaware, who
has furnished each cooperator with
a calendar for each month of the
year on which to keep an account |

AGED WOMAN CHOKED
and ROBBED BY NEGRO
Homer White, Charged With At
lacking Mrs. Mary Hall OF Frederick

Mrs. Mary Ann Hall, an aged
white woman residing on the out
skirts of Frederick was brutally at
tackled and robbed last Friday night
She was choked into a state of I'M
consciousness and robbed after re-
fusing the demands of a negro for
money. Homer White, negro, was
arrested at his home in Frederick
charged with the .offense.
Following his Identification By
Mrs. Hall, White was whisked away
by the State police in cooperation
with the Frederick authorities, and
taken to the Jail at Dover.
On Sunday feeling against the
negro was at fever heat, so much
so that it was deemed wise to re-
move him to the New Castle County
WorkhOuse. He was taken there
on Sunday night. 1t is believed by
the authorities that this prevented
an attempt by hot-headed citizens
to lynch him.
Following an examination by a
physician it was learned that
felonious assault had been commit
ted in addition to the robbery.
Mutterings of residents of Freder-
lea resulted in State Highway Po-
liceman Joseph Bonaficina being de-
tailed to take White to Wilmington
where he is being held without bail
for a hearing on Saturday.
Mrs. Hall in her statement to the
authorities said that when the negro
came to her home he muttered
something of bringing a package to
her from a relative and gained en-
trance to the house and checked her
into a state of unconsciousness and
then robbed her.
