Varieties of Bread

Generally speaking, the difference
between whole-wheat bread and gra-
ham bread is that there is less coarse
bran in the so-called whole-wheat
bread than in graham bread. True
graham bread is made from graham
flour. DR.. Alexander Graham was the
first to advocate milling the entire
wheat, adding nothing and subtracting
nothing. In some mills the whole
wheat flour is product of the whole

RAvAGES OF HOG CHOLERA
Farmers Must Bury Every Hog Chol-
era Victim For Safety

So severe has the ravages of hog
cholera in Sussex and Kent counties
been this fall that all the appropria-
tion set aside by the General AS
sembly two years ago for the pur-
chase of serum has been expended.
AS a result owners Of porkers that
are attacked have been compelled to
purchase hog cholera serum through
their veterinarian at prices double the
normal figure. According to govern
ment reports, hog cholera has flour
ished all over the country this fall.
1t is the most serious outbreak in
many years. AS matter Of fact it
is almost impossible now to obtain
hog cholera serum anywhere. In
speaking of the outbreak in Delaware,
Ralph Wilson, secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, said that Mary
land health officials had applied to
him for hog cholera serum, agreeing
to pay him for it now or return a
like amount as soon as they could OBJ
tain it. Mr.. Wilson said he was COM
PEELED to refuse the request because
there was none left. Fortunately
some of the veterinarians had a pri-
vate supply on hand and this is being
speedily used up. 81 WISH" said Mr..
Wilson. "that the farmers having
hogs to die from cholera could realize
the necessity of burying the porkers.
According to reports coming to us
some of the msimply hauled the pigs
to woods where they are left for the

else to destroy or eliminate. They
should, however, bury the hogs deep
enough so that they could not be

]. S. HURLOCK HUNTING VICTIM
Accidentally Shot While Cunning and
Is Now In Serious Condition

A victim of the first cunning acci-
dent of the season, j. S. Hurlock,
aged Sc years, of 2205 Washington
street, is in critical condition at the
Physicians and Surgeons Hospital,
Wilmington. In party with several
other hunters on the farm of his cous-
in, William Hurlock, near Betterton,
Nd, Friday, Mr.. Hurlock was struck
in the abdomen, chest and side by sew
eral pellets of shot when the gun of
one of the members of the party was
accidentally discharged. He was tax
en- to Chestertown, Md, where a ply
sician ordered him to hospital and
he was taken to the Physicians and
Surgeons Hospital in Wilmington,
where he was operated upon i'm
mediately. His condition was report
ed as fairly good Saturday. Accord
ing to reports of the accident, Mr..
HurlOck was standing from 80 feet to
% yards from the point where the
gun was discharged. He did not re-
ceive the full force of the load but at
least two of the shot penetrated his
abdomen and it was found at the hos
pital that his smaller intestine was
perforated in IA different places. This
could have been caused by one of the
shot, it was said. In addition to the
wounds in the abdomen there were
several others in the chest and side.
It is estimated that between IL and
Is shot were removed from Mr.. Hur-
locks body. Although his condition
is critical, hope for his recovery is
held. How the accident occurred or
whose gun was fired could not be
learned. 1t was reported that a mem
Der Of the party was loading his gun
when it went off and that Mr.. Hur-
lock, who was obscured from view
some distance away was in the direct
path of the charge. Others in the
party with Mr.. Hurlock were Edward

We want Johnny to learn to be

the school which the modern educator
calls good" the children learn
through their own activities. The

were Indians. All the grade had been
divided into two -Navaios Or

Marital Affairs in Marion Co unny Thrown in Reverse b,

Marital affairs in Marion County
are in reverse, with divorces gaining
and marriages declining, according
to figures given out today by the
United States Census Bureau.
In fact, all over Indiana the courts
have Dan Cupid on the run, with
one couple seeking divorce for every
five married in 1925.
Weddings showed a slight increase
in the state in 1925, but divorces also
increased, more proportionately than
did marriages.
Divorce Gain Here
Marion County showed a gain in
divorces, 1867 against 1929 in 1924
while marriages were 1873 In
1925. against 1864 during the pre-
ceding year.
For the whole States an increase
of IA per cent in marriages was re-
corded. There We're 36,S2S couples
who faced preachers or justices Of
the peace in 1925, while 36,30S did
the same thing in 1924.
But the divorce gain was S.5 per
cent, with 1853 couples separated in
1925 and 7.212 the year before.
Along with Marion County, two

Common Phrase Once
Had Distinct Meaning

"a name to conjure with Is a
phrase more used than understood,
as cOnjuring was not always the term
for stage or parlor tricks Of the pres
ent day. Originally conjuring stood
for the art Of the magician-the con-
jurer Of the Dark ages being really
the same parsonage as the wizard.
His cOnjuring really meant a very
solemn compact or agreement, the
word itself being taken from the Latin
for an oath. Part Of his ritual con-
sisted in the then popular belief that
he could summon up Satan or some
other spirit by the saying of some
word of power, such a word being
generally Notwithstanding, like
"abracadabra." Occasionally the name
of some departed great one, such as
Solomon, was used. This name would
then be known as sufficiently mighty
to "conjure with,' spirits hearing it
being bound to obey. Today, we no
longer believe in magic, and the ma
gician Of mystery and dread has
turned into the harmless gentleman
who produces rabbits from his hat
at children's parties: but the old
phrase still remains, and we refer to
this and that great man as having
