GREAT POWER PLANT

completed as a large part of the
freight now handled by the railroad
will be diverted to motor trucks.
1t was brought out in the discus
sion over the location of the new
plant that both Seaford and Vienna
had their advantages and disadvan-
tages, and the exact location of the
plant will depend entirely upon the
report Of the cOmpanys engineers
after they have finished making tests
at both Seaford and Vienna. 1t is a
foregone conclusion that these are
the only two towns on the peninsula
now being considered by the electric
company, and that the plant will be
located at one of these places.
Congressman Robert G. Houston,
at the conclusion of the discussion,
gave brief and interesting talk. Ed
ward J. Winder, president of the
Kiwanis Club, presided, and the
club orchestra furnished the musical
selection. The luncheon was held at
the Seaford Dining Rooms.

building with her husband.
United States Attorney Buckner,
who prosecuted the case, said that
he would not decide about a re-
trial for month at least.
The former government officials
were charged with cOnspiring
against the government under in
ducement of "hypOdermic injec-
tions of graft" applied by the late
John T. King, republican National
Committeeman from Connecticut.
Richard Merton, German copper
magnate who came to this country
to obtain release of the assets, tes-
titled at the trial that he paid King
a fee of $441,O0 to put his claim
through government offices. 1t was
alleged that King did this by pass
ing part of his fee, paid in liberty
bonds, to Daugherty and Miller
reaching" them through Jess w.
Smith, Daugherty's political handy
man. OF these liberty bonds the
government traced $4,000 to Mil
ler's brokerage accounts and S174,-
900 to the Midland National Bank
of Washington Court House, Ohio,
which was operated under the pres
idency of Nal S. Daugherty, the
former Attorney Generals brother.

In addition to the foregoing plan
which, it is believed, will meet with
the approval of all interest, the

lowing plan: That there be an
Eastern Shore Sales Company or
Marketing Agency and that all pro-

the same inspection.
The white potato crop for 1926,

is a thing of the past; the sweet pO-
tato crop is moving out at from 81
to $2.25 per barrel, which is far be-
low what it should bring in, as the
crop is short and the quality un-
usual
Retail prices even in nearby cities

is paying about 81 for produce that

There has been an increase in the
demand for sweet potatoes, due

should also have a large capacity for
heart and lung action and food dl-
gestion, as well as being of strain
that has been bred for egg produc-
tion. Hens that have been heavy
producers during the past year will
have all the yellow color bleached
out of their beaks and legs, and their
heads will be strong and smooth
with bright and wide-open eyes. The
pelvic bones will be thin and fairly
wide apart, the abdomen will be
large and soft, and the skin thin and
loose on the body. They should have
the proper color and type of comb
and body, in additio nto other points
which are characteristic of the
breed which they represent.
1t is the plan of the Agricultural
Extension Department to conduct
this egg laying contest again this
coming year, but it will be known
in the future as the farm egg record
club. Several poultrymen throughout
the state have made requests for the
calendars upon which to keep the
daily production Of their focks, and
those who have not secured their
calendars are requested to get in
touch with their county agent with

will start on November 1. County
Agent Russell E. Wilson has receiV-
ed requests from S5 poultry raisers
in Kent county for these egg record
and it is expected that a
large number Of poultrymen in this
county, as we'll as in the state as
whole, will enter this work for the
coming year.

speedy Miller special, captured the
honors Of the 100 mile national
championship race at Langhorne,
Pa, on Saturday.
Some seconds after Snowberger
went into the lead, Jimmy Gleason,
who is unquestionably one of the
most daring dirt-track speeders Of
the country, narrowly escaped being
killed when his car crashed through
the fence on the S5th lap.
Snowberger's time for the big race
was 80 minutes and 20 seconds,
which is no record.

The Delaware Bay bottoms now pro-
duclng oysters. The planters in
Long Island Sound and in the wa
ters OF Connecticut and Massachu-
setts come to Delaware to get seed
oysters to plant; taking them in
steamer loads through the He'll
Gate route to their oyster planting
beds. 1t is from these plants that
the wonderful reputation for their
oysters was built.
At SeafOrd, Delaware, are large
oyster packing houses, which have
been in operation for fifty years or
more. Crisfield, Md, and a dozen
other points open many thousands
OF bushels of oysters each season,
which are grown in the Chesapeake
Bay, and they have justly earned a
splendid reputation for lusciousness
wherever they have found their
way.
The DelmarVa Peninsula produces
the oyster at its very best, and then
packs 1t with all sanitary condi-
t1ons met; so, now they are the best
on earth, the finest in flavor and the
greatest delight to those who know
now to roast, steam, stew, fry or
form the oyster into any eatable
shape for the table use of mankind.
If you are skeptical as to the
statement, just give our Delaware
folks a chance to prove every word
and make you happy, by coming to
Delaware where you may make
your own inspection, and test with
your own tongue and taste, just

that God has given the Delmarva
Peninsula to take pleasure in and

Here is what a correspondent
says about the oyster at Seaford:
The oyster season is on in full
force with the five packing houses
running every day, but the packers
all report that much cooler weather
is needed to boost their business
to normal. The weather for the
most part since the houses opened
has been entirely too warm. There
has only been few days that were
suitable for the oyster business.
Another drawback to the business !
is the poor quality of the bivalves
so far received, but this condition |
is expected to remedy itself with |
the coming of cold weather, when |
it is thought the oysters will fat

Seaford packers get their raw |
stock from both the Delaware and !

ford firms, have hundreds OF acres
