fruit on the same rating as that OF
.any other apple state in the Union.
Peaches, which enjoyed their heaV-
lest blossoming period this season
for many years, look fine. The fol-
iage is heavy and seems full OF life
(which is a good indication OF what IS
to follow. The June drop, which is
the time when many of the blossoms
maturing into fruit fall from the tree
is usually a detail to be feared. But
this season, although it has been
very heavy, it is hailed with delight
by the peach orchardists.
One grower informed Mr.. DerlcK-
son the past week, that the June
drop had saved him much money pc
cause it had thinned out his fruit
and saved him the expense OF having
it done. 1t is also more natural Ior
the weaker fruit to fall off, thus al
lowing the healthier fruit to con-
tinue to maturity with more promls-
ing prospects of better development
and superior favored fruit.
The Market News Service, winch
Director Derickson established few
years ago for the benefit of the far
mers has started but will not get
into full swing until the last OF this
month when the apple season gets
under way.
This year, Mr.. Derickson has plan
ned to greatly broaden the scope OF
the information assembled. He ex-
poets to have the reports Of the mar
kets in New York and Philadelphia
in hand and ready for distribution
by 8 O'Clock every morning and the
markets of Cincinnati, Columbus,
Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Bos-
ton and Baltimore will be ready by
1920. Through this service the far-
mer thirty or forty miles from Dover
will be able to determine where he
wants to ship his apples by IL IN the
morning, and the fruit will go to the
point that is paying the highest fig
ure.
The news will be distributed by
telegraph, telephone and mail, but
the great bulk of it will go by tele-
phone. Large growers and banks IN
sections where such arrangements
have been made will be given the
market figures and these agencies
will distribute the information for
the benefit Of any one who wishes it.

ing help yourselves. 1t may be your
own household property that will be
a victim of the flames, OF the home,
or the factory which gives employ
ment. Do all you can to help the fire
men.
Here is what the president of the
fire company told us in a straight
forward way, about what they want
to do. Read it and make up your
mind to do your part. E. Roscoe Cal
loway is the president and says:
At special meeting called last
night by E. Roscoe Galloway, presi-
dent, the Greenwood Volunteer Fire
men decided to hold their third an
nual carnival this year on the high
school grounds, beginning Friday
night, July End, and continuing un-
til Saturday evening, July 10th. Back
of the circle of booths will be ample
parking space for visitors and it will
be easy enough to get in and away
from the carnival.
R. Emory Wiley was appointed to
look after purchasing of all novel;
ties to be used. Mr.. Wiley has been
very successful in handling this for
the past two years, and he promises
that this year a larger variety of use
full and valuable articles will be
found at the various booths.
Refreshments of all kinds will also
be sold; an up to- date merry-gO-
round will furnish part of the music
and amusement for the kiddies.
There will also be awarded each eve
ming at 10:30 p. m. valuable free
prize, furnished by the merchants Of
the town. Some of the other commit
tees appointed to make the carnival
a success are Charles H. Conaway,
T. P. Rust, James H. Deputy and
John Wheeler.
The fire company has recently pur-
chased one of the most desirable
pieces of land in town and expect to
use the money realized from this
carnival, together with what they
already have, toward the erection of
a fire house and community building
combined. A large attendance is eX-
pected to show those in charge how
they appreciate their efforts in try
ing to put up such building, as it
will be just what the people of
Greenwood and the surrounding
community have been hoping for for
several years.

SUSSEX LEVY COURT
OPENED BIDS TUESDAY
CONTINUED from first page)

for the lotion Monarch tractor COM
plete, and for a Russell super reli-
ance grader, all for $9,090.00, with a
proposition to ,take over the eight
mules now owned by Sussex county
at a valuation of $1,59OOO, and i'm
mediately sell them back to the
county for ($1.OO) one dollar, which
would reduce their bid to $7,501.0O
for these pieces of machinery.
For the' scarifiers Loder & Sharpe
did not make any bid; but, made
separate offer to attach a grading
equipment to the grader they bid on,
for the sum of $317.00.
The SeebroOk Company was the
lowest bidder on the straight bids,
and also on the group bid as made,
by $3995O.
The Levy Court did not make the
award at once, but will consider
what is for the best interests of the
county.
The elimination of the scarifier
and making the attachment to the
Giant grader would cut out the
third item advertised for; but, as to
the wisdom of making the change,
the court will consider more fully.

in a sentence, and the pronOuncer

greet and congratulate her pupil as

others.
