OBERCO, ORGANIC, MINERAL
COMBINATION FOR FEEDERS
AND MIXERS!!!

This new product of G. Ober &
Sons Co., is purely mineral COM
binatiOn and does not contain Pro-
tein. 1t has been shown that GER
tain quantities of organic minerals
are necessary to maintain healthy
cattle and fowls, if heavy milk and
egg production is to be expected of
them. This mineral mixture helps
to replace in their bodies, what the
strain of heavy production depletes.
1t is also very good for hogs and
all young and growing stock. This
product is not expensive and should
be used by all mixers and feeders.
1t is for sale, straight or in mashes,

Stop That Backache! /!
Many Milford FOLKS Have Found
The Way

Is dull, nerve-racking backache
wearing you out? Do you feel older
and slower than you should? Are
you, tired, weak and nervous; find it
impossible to be happy, or enjoy the
good times around you? Then
there's something wrong and likely
it's your kidneys. Why not get at
the cause? Use Doan's Pills-a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Your neighbors recommend Doan's.
Read what this Milford resident
says:
VIM. M. Lank, carpenter, 2O5
Montgomery St., says: "The kidney
secretions passed irregularly and I
had to get up several times at night.
At times the secretions were scan
ty and annoying in passage. My
back ached constantly and this con-
dition took all my strength and I
always felt tired. After using Doan's
Pills which I bought at Bratten's
Drug Store, I was relieved"

'LAZYBONES" FULL OF PATHOS,
FINE DRAMA & QUAINT HUMOR

A drama of everyday life, telling
a story of real people in simple, di-
rect and gripping fashion-a story
filled with whimsical humor, deep
pathos and wholesome romance
such is "Lazybones," the William
Fox production which will be shown
at the Plaza Theatre on Saturday,
February 9th.
Charles (Buck) Jones doffs his
guns to appear in the title role of
"Lazybones," the lOvable village
lounger, who has never been known
to do a days work in his life. Jones
does some fine work in this role,
bringing out the redeeming quail
ties of LazybOnes' character with
out making anything energetic of
the hero.
Madge Bellamy as Kit, the little
waif whom Lazybones adopts, ap-
pears first as a freckled-faced little
girl of fourteen summers and, la
ter, as the lovely young woman with
whom "Lazybones" falls hopelessly
in love.
Edythe Chapman creates one of
her most lovable screen mothers in
the character of Mrs. Tuttle, Lazy
bones mother, while Emily Fitzroy
as Rebecea Tanning, the mother of
Lazybones' boyhood sweetheart,
adds another triumph to her long
list of character successes.
Others in the cast include Zasu
Pitts, Jane Novak, Leslie Fenton,
William Norton Bailey and little
Virginia Marshall.

TWO NEW BOATS FOR NEW
CASTLE-PENNSVILLE FERRY

The New Castle-Pennsville Fer
ries, Inc, is making extensive prep
arations for the handling of their
spring and summer traffic which
gives promise of being very heavy.
The line started operating only last
September but since that time, has
been in continuous operation and
has shown steady growth in traf-
ffc, as a result of which the line has
actually operated at a slight profit.
Recently it was decided to pur-
chase two new boats and in addition
to this, new pier is planned for
New Castle, which will give the line
two heads on piers, with one on
each side of the river. This will
bring the running time down to be-
low the present time of 12 minutes.

Cause of Potato Bug
Prevalence Disclosed

Orono, Me, March 4-(AP)-SOme
or the causes of heavy infestation
of potato crops with the Colorado
potato beetle. commonly known simp-
~ as the potato bug, have been dis
closed by Professor Charles H.
Batchelder of the department of
| biology at the University of Maine.
Professor Batchelder has made a
study of potato fields in northern
Maine and west IN New York which
We're attacked by this pest. His
observations have led him to believe
that the nature of the previous crop,
the height of the hill or cultivation
ridge, the earliness of the appearance
of the shoot above ground and the
effect OF early sprays determine to
marked degree the number of bugs
which will infest the field. Another
element is the number of self-seeded
or volunteer" potato plants in the
vicinity.
I'm fields in which the rows of
potatoes are cultivated in ridges"
says Professor Batchelder, "the high
ridges attract fewer beetles than the
low. A field of Bliss Triumphs Gull
tivated with low ridges was found
to be infested 100 per cent while
nearby field Of the same variety
with high ridges was only 20 percent
infested.
1.-The nature of the previous crop
was found to provide "a variation
as high as IS percent. A field of
Jersey Giants preceded by crop of
potatoes was 81 percent infested
while the same variety preceded by
a sod crop showed only two percent
infestation.
IL field Is planted early or in
favorable situation where it re-
ceives stimulus to early and rapid
growth the percentage of infestation
will be very much greater. The
potatoes which come up earliest are
infested first and natural dispersal
to varieties appearing later is slow
and usually inconsiderable except
where influenced by spraying.
THAT early spraying of potato
sprouts soon after they come up is
effective in reducing infestation is
a common observation among grow
ers. Repealed from further feeding
either by the residue left from the
spray or alimentary disturbances
caused by arsenic, the bugs leave
for a more hospitable environment.
The volunteer potato is a plant
which has rown from tubers re-
naming over winter In the ground
or from waste potatoes and is often
found in fields of oats or wheat pre-
ceded by potato crop. Such plants
constitute dangerous refuge or
reservoir for potato beetles and
should be eradicated wherever prac-
ticable."
