PLAN PERMANENT PROGRAMS

FIGURES TO DATE SHOW $1,000
SUBSCRIBED; WILL REACH $500

Budget Requirements not Covered

late Aggressive Program, Even Tho
Budget Requirements not Covered
The final figures on the Del-Mar-Va
"score board' will show between $8,-
500 and $4,000, when the last of the
Kent county returns are in at the
close of the present week. The teams
are concluding the period Of intensive
team solicitation this wek. And then
the building of the permanent pro-
gram of the Kent County Del-Mar-Va
unit will begin. Up to Tuesday morn
ing the individual and corporation
members signed up in the county to-
tailed PA in addition to six bank mem
bers. Instead of confessing chagrin
over the inability of the campaign or
ganization, with its shortage of man
power, to sign up the entire II
months budget of $4,000 in 80 days,
the temporary committee in charge of
the financing proposes to call the
newly enlisted membership together
in a county meeting, and ask the
membership, once it is in session, to
elect a permanent organization and
ficers to Immediately "bunch their
hits" between now and winter, by
spending as much of the nearly S8,-
600 net as is necessary to assure a
vigorous 1926 program, reserving only
sufficient to pay bare overhead for the
first six months of next year Such
program, proposed by the progressive
leadership of the temporary commit
tee, is of course based on the axiom
that nothing succeeds like success;
and the agreement by at least part
of the campaign leadership that the
best way to persuade Kent countains
who have not yet subscribed that the
new County Chamber of Commerce is
worthy and necessary thing, is to
show, by means Of really aggressive
program, what can be accomplished
by the organization; then ask for the
further necessary support to complete
the first years work. Estimates will
be secured Immediately, therefore. on
necessary publicity and printed mat
ter (including a folder for quantity
distribution) in order to have the fig
ures to submit to the coming county
meeting of the membership. Rapid
fire work was done in an effort to
close solicitation during the first two
days of the week. On Monday, the
Especial team" composed of C. w.
Hardesty, Morris Simon and ]. Henry
Hazel, in an all-day roundup, brought
in $805, representing % subscriptions
in Dover for $575, and IL in Harring-
ton for $3.50, the team motoring to
Harrington in the afternoon. This
brought total cash and pledges in
hand 10 S7.805.

APPLES MOVED TO MARKET
Bureau of Markets Has Had Requests
For Inspection of Six Hundred Cars
of the Early Varieties of Apples

of the Early Varieties of Apples
While some early apples went for
ward ten days ago the first real ac-
tive movement Of apples of the early
varieties from Delaware didn't get
started until Tuesday of last week.
Each succeeding day witnessed an in
creasing amount and this week early
apples by the score of carloads will be
starting for distant points. All the
growers expect this years crop of
earlies to be one of the best if not the
best in long time. So far the Bu-
reau of Markets has received requests
for the inspection of 600 cars. Six
United States fruit inspectors are ex-
amining the apples and placing their
guarantee on them. Prices start this
year at the same as last year, which
ranged from $1.75 to $3.50 a bushel
hamper. All early apples are shipped
by the bushel, because they are usual
ly consumed Immediately. Not only
is a much larger yield of apples ex-
pected this summer but the fruit is
in much finer condition. There is not
so much diseased and there is less
scab than last year. With the Trans
parents, which is one Of the early var
iety, the fruit looks clean and bright
and is very attractive. The next to
follow and which are expected this
week are Williams Early Ripe, Fourth
of July and Red Astrickan. The sea
son will continue until August. The
outlook for prices continuing as good
or perhaps getting a bit better viii
depend upon competition in early ap-
pies from other states. For two weeks
apples have been going forward from
Tennessee. The crop apparently is
about normal. According to govern
ment reports, however, the crop in
Illinois, which is also due about this
time, is not expected to be as heavy
as normal This may help the sale
and price of Delaware apples PIacti-
cally all Of the apples will be shipped
by refrigerator cars and to many dis
tant points. During the past week
Delaware apples went TO New York,
Pittsburgh, Boston, and Buffalo. Be
ginning this week Delaware fruit viii
move to Cleveland, Columbus, Ohio;
Chicago, Detroit and Cincinnati. In
order to make the fruit as attractive
as possible, fruit packers from Georgia
are stufing the hampers in the larg-
er fruit packing establishments Of
Kent and Sussex counties.

LIGHTNING HITS AT HOUSTON
Thomas WOOtters Home is Completely
Destroyed by Fire During Storm

During a severe electrical storm
Sunday evening lightning struck the
residence of Thomas Wootters, at
Houston and started fire that burn
ed the building to the ground. Mr..
Wootters and family were watching
the storm but were uninjured by the
bolt. The lightning struck the roof
of the building which is shingle and
ignited the roof and material that had
been stored in the attic. 1t occurred
about II O'Clock during a down pour
Of rain but the rain had no effect on
the blaze. Most of the furniture from
the lower floors was removed but was
damaged by the heavy rain. The Mil
ford and Houston fire companies re-
sponded to the alarm, but the building
burned rapidly and they could do lit
tie against the fire which completely
consumed the dwelling. The electri-
cal storm was the most severe that
has visited this section this year. Sew
eral trees were struck by the lightn-
ing which was binding and continued
in intensity for one half hour.

The first days registration thruout
Kent county on Saturday showed, in
some instances, an increase for the

Smyrna, 123 names were put on by
Miss Emily Spruance, registrar for
the first election district, and 162
names were put on by Mrs. Mary
Johnson Westfall, registrar for the
second election district, on the first
day, the total registration showing an
increase over the first day two years

tricts. This year, as above stated, a
total of 2S5 names were qualified. In

HEAVY RAIN DOWN THE STATE
Has Been Big Aid to Apple Crop
Which is Now Being Harvested

w. I. Derrickson, director Of mark
cts, stated last week that from in
quiries received from various parts of
Delaware the fruit crop has not been
seriously injured by the heavy rains
and wind. On the other hand, Mr..
Derrickson states that the rainy
weather, interfering with the picking
of apples, will in great measure aid
the market, as it will allow the city
markets which were pretty well filled
with early Delaware apples, to clear
themselves and be ready for ship
ments. Prices in the Philadelphia
markets Friday according to Mr.. Der
rickson, were Is cents better than the
day before, and so cents better in the
New York markets. AS evidence of
the water fall in Kent county from
Wednesday afternoon until early
Friday morning and what it means to
the earth, has been calculated by
former Mayor John G. Hopkins, of
Dover, who is also a surveyor. Mr..
Hopkins, secured the fall of water
from the Government measurement
there, kept by Mr.. Livingstone Of the
State Highway Department from
Wednesday afternoon until Friday
morning, that of 1-2 inches of water
which by mathematical calculation
equal 450 tons of water to the acre or
45gallon of water to every hill of
corn, being considerably more than a
barrel of water. Calculating the
amount of land in Dover Green, Mr..
Hopkins states that 1000 tons of wat
er fell on Dover Green during the
period from Wednesday afternoon un-
til Friday morning.

Structure That Will Cost 100000


Structure That Will Cost 100000
A contract has been entered into
for the purchase Of the Hotel Hen
lopen at Rehoboth by representatives
of the Las Flores Hotel Company, of
Wilmington. Arrangements have
been made with the present owners,
Mrs. Walter Burton, for the title to
be taken over at once, although it will
continue in operation the remainder
of this season, under the present man
agement, with the assistance of the
new management. A Wilmington
capitalist will finance the erection Of
the hotel. Immediately upon the close
of the present season, about Septem-
Der Is, there will be started the con-
struction alongside of the present
structure freproof hotel of 100
rooms and baths, and thoroughly mod
ern in every respect. The present
structure will also be rebuilt, modern

build on its site. The name of the
hotel will not be changed.
