DRY LAW IS HERE TO STAY
DECLARES BISHOP BERRY
Prelate Asserts Prohibition Amend
ment Will Never Be Repealed.

There will never be a repeal of
the prohibition amendment" was
the statement of Bishop Joseph F..
Berry, head of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in this district, today.
"The American people have taken
their stand and will never recede
from it, just as they have never re-
ceded from their stand concerning
human slavery"
This sentiment was expressed by
Bishop Berry in connection with an
attack he made against the liquor
propagandists "who are bringing
some doubt on the feasibility of the
liquor law into the minds of some
of our Christian people"
Bishop Berry, in decrying the eff
forts of these prOpagandists, refer
red to the recent storm concerning
the city's large hotels which result
ed in an exchange of letters be-
tween Mayor Kendrick and former
Director Butler. "It makes no diff
ference whether a few hundred dol
lars or few million dollars are in
vested in a property where the law
is violated" he said. Contempt
for the law in one place is con-
tempt for the law in another"

FARMERS WIFE MAKES
CLAIM FOR KILLED TURKEYS
Mrs. R. T. Collision Says Twenty
We're Killed By Roaming Dogs

The first claim to be made at
Milford for turkeys killed by roam
ing dogs, was filed before Justice
of the Peace William A. Truitt on
Tuesday morning by Mrs. R. T. Col
lison, who resides on the Isaac S..
Truitt farm, between Milford and
Harrington. The claim is made un-
der the new dog taxing laws which
provides that the county must pay
owners of poultry for damage sus-
tanned from dogs. On Tuesday
morning Mrs. Collision, accompan-
led by Game Warden Boggs, appear
ed before the Justice of the Peace,
and the lady made affidavit to the
claim for the loss sustained. Her
claim was for four old turkeys and
16 young turkeys. She produced
witnesses who said that they had
seen the turkeys in August before
they were killed by dogs, the owner
of which was unknown, and that
they had seen the poultry after it
had been killed. The claim made
out was for $500 for each Of the
old fowl, and $500 each for the
young turkeys. Under the new
laws where proof of loss by roam
ing dogs is sustained the owner
of the poultry is paid by the Levy
Court Of the County in which the
loss was incurred; the money being
taken from the fund created from
the receipts received from the tax
on dogs.

U. S. TAX RETURN BLANKS
WILL POSSIBLY BE DELAYED
Must Be COnfOrmable To New
Revenue Law, Ii Passed.

The distribution of federal income
tax returns will be delayed for a
short time, U. S. Collector of In
ternal Revenue John w. Herring
said Wednesday.
The delay is probably due to the
desire that proper blanks may be
used conformable to the new rev.
enue law, if passed in time to apply
to 1925 incomes.
The returns as printed for 1925
are in almost all respects identical
to the 1924 blanks. A supplemental
form will, it is believed, be used if
a new law is passed. Although re-
turns will not be distributed until
authorized by the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, in cases where
taxpayers insist upon filing their
return, it will be accepted. The in
convenience and hardship, which
may result from filing an incorrect
return, if new law is passed, caus-
es Collector Herring to recommend
that taxpayers await the official
authorization.
Newspaper announcements will
be made as soon as definite infOr-
nation is obtained and taxpayers
are advised to watch carefully for
such announcement, inasmuch as
this is the only medium through
which the taxpaying public may be
informed of developments bearing
upon the distribution of the blanks.
The blanks in this district have,
however, been placed in envelopes
awaiting the instructions concern
ing supplemental sheets and can be
quickly distributed thereafter.

SUSSEX TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
MEETS FRIDAY, JANUARY 10Th
Gathering At Georgetown Promises
To Be Largely Attended.

The outstanding educational ev-
ents of Sussex County in each year
are the meeting of the County
Teachers Association, and the
Field Day.
The meeting of the Association
has this year been set by the Ex-
ecutive Committee for Friday, Jan
uary 29th, at Georgetown. A 100
per cent enrolment of Sussex coun-
ty is reported. With this splendid
cooperation on the part of the
teachers, and the array of able
speakers that is being planned for
the programs, meetings that will
be wonderfully helpful to the
teachers of the county are assured.
The State Department expresses
the hope that every teacher of the
county will take advantage of this
opportunity for social, as well as
professional reasons. Fortunately,
the splendid system Of good roads
that honeycomb Sussex makes this
easily possible, and likewise pre-
sents real challenge to the school
people of this section to make the
schools measure up to the roads in
their service to the various COM
munities.

DELAWAREANS PROTEST
AGRICULTURAL BILL CUT
State Board Joins Congressman
Houston In Objection To Reduction

Oliver A. Newton, president of the
State Board of Agriculture, Bridge
vile, and Newton Grubb, New Cas-
tie county, representing state Off
cials and dairying interests, headed
by Congressman Robert G. Houston
of Georgetown, were in Washington
on Monday and made vigorous pro-
test by agricultural organizations
from various parts of the country
against the 100000 reduction
made by the Budget Bureau in the
Federal appropriation for the next
fiscal year for bovine tuberculosis
eradication work in the agricultur-
al appropriation bill.
1t was pointed out that the pro-
posed reduction of the current fis-
cal years appropriation from 49,
100000 to $1,900,000 would greatly
retard the work of eradication of
bovine tuberculosis.
Congressman Houston pointed
out to the committee that there are
approximately $4,000 cattle in the
State, 1900 had been tested and
over 5000 certified as free from
the disease, but that IA per cent
of the cattle tested had been af-
fected. He told the committee that
while Delaware was a small State,
a great. deal of its milk went to
Philadelphia where untested milk
was barred. He said that while the
farmer was the victim in the situa-
tion, the city consumer demanded
a certified milk and was entitled to
it, and if the farmer was to furnish
such milk, his herd must be tested
and any cattle infected, removed
from his herd. That was the only
way he could find relief by Federal
reimbursement was through appro-
priation by Congress. He said that
to produce the quality Of milk de-
manded by the city consumer, that
would meet the requirements of
city officials, high priced cattle
costing from 5000 to $500 was nee
essary, which makes the loss to the
farmer greater when any of his
herd was condemned.

CABBAGE ADVANCED
In PRICE $50 PER TON
Sudden Jump Last Friday Caused
Consumers To Gasp.

If at any time last Friday one
had been beset with a sudden de-
sire to purchase a ton of cabbage,
one would have received a terrible
shock-for cabbage that day jump
ed $50 a ton.
1t closed on Wednesday at $35
and $40 a ton, and all seemed well
with the corned beef and cabbage
and sauer kraut world. Then, when
the produce market opened Thurs
day the blow fell. A housewife who
was expecting a few friends in to
dinner would have found herself
parting with $40 to get just single
ton of the stuff.
Of course, the sudden rise, just
like everything else, can be eX-
planned, and the Pennsylvania Bu-
reau of Markets undertook to ex-
plain it. The explanation was that
the market is slight and the de-
mand great. Last year on the same
day the announcement came with
sigh, one could have purchased a
ton of cabbage for only $17.
The jump in cabbage prices,
however, has not affected sauer
kraut prices, but may.

WILL DISCUSS new
MARKETING PLAN
FOR TOMATOES
The Grading Of Vegetables May
Prove Profitable For Both Far
mers And Gamers.
PLAN HAS BEEN TRIED OUT
Scheme Worked Well Last Sea-
son When The Experiment
Was First Made.

To Delaware and Eastern Shore
of Maryland tomato packers may
come the distinction of being the
first in the United States to can to-
matoes under government regula-
tions. During the past summer, A.
c. Lewis, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, spent
many weeks among canneries in
Maryland and Delaware conducting
quiet experiments in grading toma-
toes.
Growers of peaches, apples, sweet
potatoes and grapes have come to
realize their product if graded en-
ables them not only to obtain i'm
mediate sales and higher prices,
but there is never any dispute
about the quality months after the
fruit or vegetables have been con-
sumed, as has been the case here
tOfore. So the tomato growers have
for years been trying to obtain
some standard and method so that
when the wagons laden with toma-
toes reach the railroad shipping
station or cannery, the product may
be graded without delaying the un-
loading.
Mr.. Lewis tried out many plans
and finally hit upon the idea of in
specting five or six baskets of to-
matoes taken at random from a wa
gOnlOad, and fixing the result for
the load upon what he found in
these five or six baskets. In this
way the farmer realizing that any
basket might be picked to be test
ed, would not be able to exercise
any but fair means to have his load,
If it was first-class stock, so judged.
The idea in the experiments work
ed out excellently.
At a meeting of the cooperative
canneries of the two states to be
held either this week or not later
-han next, the standards which the
government man has recommended
will be discussed and it is hoped
agreed upon.
In discussing this new plan, W.
T. Derickson, Director of the Bur-
eau of Markets for the State Board

.oes shall be firm, ripe, well-form-

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
GIVES ADVICE ABOUT CORN
Don't Guess About Seed They Say;
Have Same Tested.

Seed corn for 1926 planting offers
an interesting contrast to that for
last year, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. From
the standpoint of maturing corn,
the summer of 1924 was one of the
poorest in many years. AS a con-
sequence there was every indication
that there would not be enough
seed corn to go around in the spring
of 1925. An active campaign by the
agricultural experiment stations
and the Federal Department of Ag-
r1culture, aided by realization of the
very evident danger, resulted in
more seed corn being field selected
and dried than ever before. Final
ly, unusually favorable weather
during September and October per-
mitted much corn to dry in the
field without being damaged for
seed purposes. Therefore an abund-
ance of good seed corn was avail
able for planting in 1925.
In contrast, the summer of 1925
was unusually favorable for the
rapid development of corn. The
crop went into September in excel
lent condition and the prospects for
seed corn were the best. Field Sc
lection of seed corn was put off in
many cases because of these facts
and early freezes occurred before
many farmers had selected their
seed. These conditions have con-
tributed to a prospective seed corn
situation next spring which, while
not serious, may be unfavorable.
In Iowa, for example, the temper
ature during the last week in Oc-
tober was low, zero weather occur
ring over more than half of the
State. Corn containing more than
20 per cent of moisture is ruined
for seed purposes when subjected to
such temperatures. Conditions sim
liar to those in Iowa occurred over
much of the Corn Belt.
Farmers who did not have their
seed corn out of the field before
the first freeze should test it for
termination as. soon as possible.
Directions for conducting such
tests may be had from their State
agricultural experiment station or
the United States Department of
Agriculture. A preliminary test of
two kernels from each of 100 ears
of the kind to be planted will show
whether the seed can be used OF
whether other arrangements must
be made.

CHILDREN SENT TO STATE
INSTITUTIONS THIS WEEK
Two Girls And One Boy Taken
From Father After Evidence

In Cedar Neck, three miles east
of Milford and along the road lead
ing to Fort Salisbury, resides Will
liam Galloway and his family of six
children; the mother is dead. The
two Oldest children, a young wo-
man about % years old and a young
man slightly older, seem to be the
hub about which the family gath
ers. Two daughters, one sixteen
and the other thirteen, and boy of
ten, compose the children; there is
a small child about four years old
in the family.
William Galloway has refused
heretofore to send the boy to school
at any time during the year; up to
last November, when Miss Jones,
the Visiting Teacher for Sussex
County, who also keeps tab on the
children who fail to attend school,
started action to compel the boy to
attend the public school in Cedar
Neck, which resulted in his enter
ing that school. At that time the
boy started trouble for the teacher,
who was soon forced to suspend
him for the benefit of the school.
His vulgar language and assaults
became intolerable.
Here the State of Delaware step
ped in and took hold of the case,
with the result that the boy (who
had in the meantime, cut one of
the children attending school, SER
iously with a knife) was brought
before Esquire Hendrickson in
South Milford, who after hearing
the evidence, notified Colonel Tan
ner of the Ferris Industrial School
for Boys near Wilmington, who
came to Milford last Tuesday and
took the boy back with him. In
that school he will have the ad-
vantage of an opportunity to get
an education as well as learning
proper regard for others and the
public welfare-in other words, get
the advantage of a home until he
is twenty-one years old.
The two girls were sent to the
Industrial School for Girls, which
is also maintained by the State, so
as to have proper training and op-
portunity to grow into worthy wo-
manhood. Constable John B. Ing
ram conveyed them to that institu-
tion.
The Home Missionary Society has
a field for service right here in Sus-
sex County, to do work for making
better people, who need Christian
training.
