HOSPITAL BAZAAR NETTED
APPROXIMATELY $1,000
Building Fund Benefited by Response
o. General Public

The long looked for bazaar for the
benefit OF the Milford Emergency
Hospital new building fund was held
last week in the Milford New Com
munity Building. Although the wea-
ther was not so favorable, the ba-
zaar was a gala affair and we'll pat
ronized by our tOwnsfolk and many
friends from the lower part of the
state.
Many compliments have been re-
ceived from those who attended the
suppers and every night the dining
room was taxed to capacity during
the dinner hour. The dinner served
the first night was sufficient to con-
vince our good friends of the fine
menus that had been prepared by the
Ladies' Auxiliary which brought in
creased numbers on Thursday and
Friday nights.
The bazaar for the sale of mer-
chandise was carried over until Sat
urday which resulted in the sale of
practically everything with the eX-
ception Of a few dolls. Miss Min
erva Sipple and Short and Long vol
unteered to take the remaining num-
ber OF dolls and sell them for the
hospital. The windows of each
store have been artistically decor
ated with the dolls this week.
The young folk greatly enjoyed the
dancing each night, and the hospi-
tai management wishes to express
it's appreciation to the Milford or
chestra and Laurel High School or
chestra for their aid in making the
bazaar one that will long be remem-
bered by all those who attended. The
management also takes this oppOr-
tunity to thank every one who aided
in any way to make this bazaar a
success. Although at this date it is
not known just how much money
was actually cleared, it is believed
that the sum will net approximately
$1,OOC0O

COLLECTOR MESSICK
HELD In LIQUOR CHARGE

there was some liquor. When the
car with DR.. Messick and Roach as
passengers approached the high
way police recognized it, from a
previous description, as the machine
they believed had the liquor in it
and the auto was halted.
When Corporal Ingram flashed
his light inside he saw DR.. Messick
and Roach. DR.. Messick is said to
have jumped and started to run,
but was overtaken by Corporal In
gram. 1t was then he is reported
to have declared he was ruined.
Roach appeared unconcerned about
the whole matter and had nothing
to say. He is said to be the owner
of the automobile in which the two
kegs of supposed liquor were
found.
The accused men were taken to
Georgetown and arraigned before
Magistrate Wilson. Bail for each
was furnished by Dr. John H. Ham
mond and DR.. Messick and Roach
returned to Lewes. Roach was for
merly in business in Lewes and has
been active in sports. He is also
known as a vocalist.
When the case came up on Tues
day it was continued until next Mon
day by Commissioner Cam.

In the great area from northern
South Dakota to the Rio Grande and
west to the Rockies, drought seri-
ously reduced crop yields. The same
is true in the area extending from
the Ohio and Potomac rivers south
east to central Georgia and east to
the Atlantic. In certain restricted
portions of these areas, the drought
broke all records and farmers face
the difficulties that follow when
practically all crops fail.
Outside of the Is states chiefly af-
fected by drought, crOp yields in
1925 were good but they were not
quito large enough fully to offset
the reduction in the drought-stricken
areas. Because o. this yields In the
country as q whole were slightly be-
low the average during the last 10

CHRISTMAS RUSH ON; =

ly those devoted 70 Joys, into fairy
lands.
Toys are supreme at Christmas
time and it is but logical that deal
ers have stocked themselves heavily
with these joy-giving articles.
Childish glee, and exclamatiOns Of,
Mother buy me this" and Daddy,
get me that" and Isn't that pretty"
and "Oh, let me have another look" d"
makes the toy department of much
interest to the clerks there, while
proving distressful to the parents.
But then, while toys are almost
synonymous with Christmas, the
grown-ups, too, come in for their
share OF gifts and STORES handling
these items are not lacking in pat
ronage. Mother, dad, big brother and
big sister, must have their enjoy
ment too, and many a package is be-
ing smuggled into the house waiting
for the might Before Christmas"
Jewelry always appropriate, has
not lost any of its popularity if the
number Of people going in and out
the doors of such establishments
mean anything. From pens and pen
ellis to magnificent rings, watches
and silverware, is the range one
may select from in this line.
Useful and practical gifts are pre-
ferred by many, and the furniture
stores have proven to be neccas for
those seeking such. Today, rs in the
past, smoking stands, lamps, fancy
chairs, cedar chests, and other items
of the cabinet making art, are in
vogue.
Heaviest Rush To Come
Haberdashers, carrying the arti-
cles of apparel so dear to the heart
OF the man; stationers with their
dainty lines OF gifts; shops for mi
lady, where the newest creations are
on display; hardware stores, leath
erware shops, automobile accessory
stores, sporting dealers and other
establishments are enjoying brisk
business, which will reach its heav-
lest point in the days to come. For
even now, with all the educating
that has been done by advocates of
early shopping, there are many who
procrastinate, and then make final
headlong dash into the city, to get
whatever they can secure at that
time.
Those who have learned to do so,
will follow carefully the advertise
ments appearing in this paper today,
make out their shopping list, and in
a systematic manner, one which is
easiest, quickest, and best satisfy
ing, will make their purchases. They
return home less fatigued than the
average mortal, who with no store
in particular in view comes into the
district, rushes from one
store to another, and in the end re-
turns home with very little of the
shopping done that should have been
done.
1t is fascinating to stand on the
streets and watch the hurrying
Milford chronicle., 1925-12-11

crowds go by, all eager, all expect
ing, all with that light of doing
Something and bringing joy to
others, in their eyes, going in one
door, out another, into another store
and then to others.
Christmas means happiness, joy,
good cheer, and new attitude to-
ward ones fellowman. The shoppers
are busy, all for this purpose of
making somebody happy. Their cares
are laid aside in this mission, as
they hurry from store to store for
Christmas is but eleven shopping
days away.

SAY THAT YELLOWS IS
SPREAD BY 'LEAFHOPPER'

this plant for its series of intensive
experiments, which have resulted in
discovering what is believed to be
the germ carrier of the disease. DR..
L. o. Kunkel, plant patholOgist of
the Institute, has proved that the
yellows diseases are always trans
mitted by an insect known as a
"leafhopper" Although it is not yet
known just what the leafhOpper
transmits or how he does it, DR..
Kunkel found that when a diseased
plant and a we'll one were impris-
oned in a small glass house the con-
tagion did not spread from one to
the other unless this particular in
sect was present. Other insects of
similar species were tried in the
glass house, but though they might
hop and scurry from the sick plant
to the well one, the latter never
contracted yellOws until the leaf
hopper was introduced.
One of the striking things about
the transmission of yellOws is its
similarity to the transmission Of
yellow fever and malaria in man,
which is effected by means of the
mosquito. The Boyce Thompson eX-
periments in this field are being con-
tinued and it is possible that their
results will throw light upon hui
man as well as plant diseases.

MARYLAND TOWN MAY

CONTINUED from first page,


Haughey, fax engineer, and Simon
Friedberger, president, Sani-Knit
Textile Mills, Philadelphia, and Mr..
Hoy, OF Wilmington.
DR.. Cope who represents the
London syndicate, has made study
of climatic conditions necessary to
the production of fax, and he
states that in all of his travels and
investigations he has found no To-
cality in the United States more
conducive to growing large crops of
haX than the Eastern Shore of Ma
ryland presents.
1t is the object of the capitalists
who were in Chestertown to inspect
different localities and ascertain
the conditions upon which property
may be purchased and later to ar
range a meeting with farmers in
the county to secure their cooper
alton in growing the fax used in
textile manufacture.
It is stated that $40 per acre will
be paid for the fax and that the
farmers will be furnished the seed,
which produces about two and one
hall tons per acre.
A second visit will be made to
Chestertown shortly, when the
farmers will be called in meeting
and an effort made to secure their
cooperation in establishing an in
dustry which promises fine financial
returns to the growers of the raw
material, and which may offer an
excellent substitute for the uncer-
tain tomato crop, which caused
heavy loss to a number of growers
here during the past season.

the total was $1,183, ,467,433 for all
48 states, which compares with the
Federal public debt at present Of

its value in view of the apparently
