Burton School Notes

The manual training class has
transformed the gym into a work
shop. They are making library
tables, desks. rowboats, and vari-
Gus other things. 1t looks as if
we are going to have a fine exhi-
bition at the end of school.
The class is also planning off the
desk tops which are rough and cut
with knives. All knives seen by
any of the teachers will be con
fiscated until the end of the term.
The girls baseball team will play
the Vashon girls April 21st. We
hope to have as exciting a game
as the boys and that the score will
be as good as theirs.
The botany class have finished

to review it. We also have to
classify Is wild flowers before the

JAMAICA GINGER SALE
IS NOW UNLAWFUL
Ban On Preparation Went Into Effect
Throughout Country This Week

Possession and sale of tincture of
ginger, double strength, more COM
monty known as Jamaica ginger, is
now unlawful.
The ban on the sale and posses
sion of the medicinal preparation
went into effect throughout the
country Tuesday.
Upwards of six months ago the
prohibition bureau Of the U. S.
Treasury Department, ruled the
preparation was an intoxicating bev-
erage and ordered its sale discon-
tinued January 1.
Immediately after the order was
issued manufacturers and jObbers in
the ginger lodged complaints with
the Treasury Department and asked
for an extension of time so that
they might dispose of the large
quantities of the preparation which
they had on hand.
The Treasury Department changed
it's order so that it would be cffec-
tive April 1. The three months eX-
tension was not sufficient for the
manufacturers and jobbers. Another
extension of three months was
granted.
Tuesday the order went into eff
feet. and prohibition agents in Del
aware and other States started out
to see that it was obeyed.

P. A. X. BUSY WITH
STATE BERRY SHIPMENTS
Truck Line Gives Excellent Service
For Berry Growers

The opening of the strawberry
season last week gave the P. A. X,
an opportunity to display the
promptness with which it can trans
port this perishable fruit from the
flourishing patches in Sussex coun-
ty to large city markets from 100 to
$50 miles distant. Beginning the
middle of last week the trucks Of
the company which are capable of
hauling IT'S crates of berries at a
load, transported the fruit to Eas-
ton, Philadelphia and New York.
The movement was from Bridgeville
and as soon as a truck was loaded
it started for it's destination. The
New York shipments reached the
city between and 3 in the mOrn-
ing and in time for consumption
that day, which means "a hours SER
vice from the time the berries are
picked in the patches to their deli
very on the tables of New Workers.
1t is the plan of the P. A. x. to
continue this service throughout the

that from now in until October this

service will be available to lower
