MILFORD TEACHERS WILL
LEAVE FOR OTHER FIELDS
Approximately Fifty Per Cent Next
Years Teachers VIII Be New

After holding together with
scarcely a break for two years, the
teaching staff of the Milford public
schools will be practically a new
organization next September. APP
prOximately fifty per cent of the
necessary number of teachers for
the coming year will be new to this
district.
The Board of Education will en-
deavOr to solve the problem of re-
organization by re-arranging sever
al of the high school departments,
and will also endeavOr to enrich the
courses in the upper grades of the
elementary school. Their plans will
be announced in more details later
after they are informed just what
resources will be at their command
for the coming year.
Several of the teachers find that
the salary schedule in Delaware
does not reward their experience
after the first few years sufficiently
to justify them in remaining in this
State when they may secure more
attractive salaries elsewhere.
The Board of Education, together
with the community at large, feels
keenly the approaching loss Of
Frank M. Barsby, who for the past
six years has handled efficiently
the Manual Training Department,
and who has been of great assist
ance and inspiration to the boys
and girls who have participated in
the School Athletic Association ac-
tivities. Mr.. Barsby will join the
teaching staff of the ArdmOre, Pa,
public schools in September. His
many friends in Milford confidently
expect him to make a great record

Hens HAD GOOD EGG
YIELD in FEBRUARY
Report From 1856 Farms In Della
ware Show Average Yield Of
IL Eggs Per Bird.

The daily egg records from Co.
344 hens and pullets representing
1856 different poultry farms in the
state are included in the February
report of the Delaware Farm Egg
Record Club which has been pre-
pared by H. S. Palmer, extension
pOultryman of the University of
Delaware, and recently distributed
through the offices of the county
agricultural agents to those poultry
men who are cooperating in this
project
This report has been mailed from
the office of Kent County Agent
Russell E. Wilson to the eighty
poultry raisers in Kent county who
are members of this egg record
club.
OF the total number of birds in
cluded in this report, 32,826 are pull
let's whose average production for
February was 14.1 eggs; 1886 are
hens with an average of 11.9 eggs,
and 1882 are hens and pullets in
mixed fiocks which gave an average
OF 12.5 eggs per bird during the
month. These figures may well be
compared with the Vineland, New
Jersey, standard of IL eggs per
bird for February, 10 for January,
10 for December, and 8 for Novem-
ber, or an average of 10 eggs per
bird during these four winter
months.
Those pullets in the state of Del
aware, whose egg records have been
tabulated during this same period,
laid on the average 11.2 eggs, and
the hens produced IL eggs per bird,
while the mixed flocks gave an aV-
erage production of 7.9 eggs, as
compared to 81 eggs per bird for
the farm average these four months.
One of the important questions
before the poultry raisers in almost
every state in the Union is whether
or not it pays to feed green food in
order to grow strong and healthy
chicks and to keep the layers and
breeders in the best of condition.
AS a direct means of determining
the opinion of the poultrymen in
different sections of the country re-
garding this problem Mr.. Palmer
sent questiOnnaires to several of the
leading poultry raisers and agricul-'
tural experiment stations in the
United States. The replies which
he received indicated that those ex-
pertinent stations which have work.
ed most extensively on this problem
and which seemed to be the most
confident of the results were those
located in the states of Wisconsin,
Indiana, Ohio and California, where
it was found that chickens require
such food elements as protein, car
bohydrates and fats, minerals, water
and vitamines, A, B, D and E.
These elements must be supplied
in a form that is digestable, whole
some and appetizing, but they do
not have to come from any one par
ticular kind of food, so in preparing
rations poultrymen should try to
make use of those feeds that are
the least expensive and the most

CAPE CHARLES GETS
DOVER'S PLACE IN LEAGUE
Delaware Towns Resignation Ac-
cepted And Virginia Given Place

Cape Charles was admitted to the
Eastern Shore Baseball League at
the meeting of league officials at
Salisbury Friday afternoon. The
Virginians will replace the Dover
club of Delaware, who resigned re-
Gently.
An additional expense of approx
mately $50 will be placed upon the
EastOn and Cambridge clubs in MAX
ing trips to Cape Charles, Mr.. Chip
ley and Emmett r. Ewell. represen-
tatiyes from those clubs declared.
OF this amount Cape Charles pledg-
ed itself to pay $25 for each trip and
league officials approved a motion
that the league treasurer pay the
remaining additional cost, not to ex-
ceed S27 per trip.
The distance from Cambridge to
Cape Charles is 13O miles and from
EastOn to the Virginia town, 1913
miles. Those two clubs, it was
stated, will probably use motor bus
transportation to Salisbury and
train from this city to Cape Charles.

the Norfolk Division, Pennsylvania
Railroad, stated that he had been
assured by other officials that the
railroad company will cooperate in
affOrding railroad transportation
even to the extent of providing
special trains at greatly reduced
fares when the occasion demands.
The new club representing Cape
Charles will be known as the
Northampton club" after the name
of the county of which Cape Charles
is the largest town. The park is
the athletic field of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the stands are built so
that units may be added when lar

FIRE DESTROYS STORAGE
Il HOUSE AT LINCOLN
Quantity OF Road Building Machin-
cry Burned Late Tuesday Night

Fire, of unknown origin, destroy
ed large storage building together
with most of the contents, occupied
by William Truitt at Lincoln about
midnight Tuesday night. The Car
Isle Fire Company Of Milford re-
sponded to a call for assistance, but
lack of water made it impossible for
them to combat the flames. The
building was two story and of frame
construction. A large quantity of
road building machinery and equip
ment was stored in the structure.
Very little of it was saved. The re-
Election of the burning building was
clearly seen in Milford. The owner
had about $4,000 insurance on the
contents of the building.

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL BOY
WINS BASKETBALL HONOR
Dallas Kitchens Selected As Best
Center In State Schools

Milford basketball fans will be
glad to hear that Dallas Kitchens,
the local high school star, has been
selected as the best center in the
entire state.
The announcement appears in the
April edition of "The Diamond" the
official publication of the Delaware
InterschOlastic Athletic Association.
This mythical all-D. I. A. A. team is
selected each year by disinterested
parties who have had the oppor-
tunity to see most of the teams in
action
Kitchens was high scorer for Mil
ford, and it was due in q great
measure to his playing that Milford
made such a good showing. 1t is
safe to say that If Ike Warren had
not left the locals that Milford
would have won the championship,
for they hold victory over Seaford,
and even with Warren and Kitchens
out, held Frankford, the present
champs, to a small score.
Kitchens is not only good ath-
lete, but also a good student, and
is a credit to NJ. H. S. In his Sc
lection for all state center he was
given preference over Lockwood, of
Frankford; Pusey, of SeafOrd, and
Rennie, of New Castle.

necessary and leisure. But the prnting-works and
buildings do not belong to the workers but to the
bourgeoisie The journalists come from the bour-
geos class or, in case they rise from the working
class, re-educated in the sense of bourgeois
interests. In America freedom of the press for the
worker amounts to the right to buy for two cents
a newspaper produced by bourgeois journalists in
the interests of capitalists In present-day America
there is other freedom of the press. Such free
dom does not exist in our country We have taken
away from the bourgeoise the printing-worls, sup
plies of paper and the paper factories We have
placed these material instruments of freedom of
speech" in the service of workers and peoples
education. We have, therefore, made tremendous
advance from the regime of bourgeois democracy,
which gives people the right to fly but deprives
them of aeroplanes.
You ask: Can it not happen under the Soviet
regime that the people become dissatisfied and then
have no channels through which to express their
dissatisfaction
Naturally the possibility of dissatisfaction or
the existence of dissatisfaction cannot be denied
AS long as there is misery and privation as long
as class differences exist-these still prevail in
our dissatisfaction is inevitable This dis
satisfaction is force which urges US forward. Can
it find expression among us? We assert that, in
spite of all the shortcomings of the Soviet system
this system, it is affords the working masses
through the medium of Party, incomparaby
complete and immediate possibilities for the
expression of feelings and interests than the ut
terly artificial and deceitfu system OF bourgeois
democracy. In this connection we have very rec
ent example, which must give food for thought to
all Democrats, not the professionals, but to Demo-
Gratis from conviction.
Austria, is well known, represents demo-
cracy and, moreover, is democracy constructed
quite recently in accordance with the best interna,
tional traditions and with the immediate particpa-
ton of American observers and instructors And
what is the result? short while ago the Austrian
workers, in spite of freedom" of the press, the
right to hold meetings. could find no other means
of expression than an insurrection in Vienna. You
must admit that workers do not resort to such
methods of expressing their opinions. The reason

Rltehls Advocates self-Governnent

A plea for settlement Of the prohibition
question by a return to the traditional
American doctrine Of local self-eovern-
ment and State determination was voiced
in New York last Saturday night by Gov.
Albert Richie, of Maryland.
Governor Richie offered his plan at the
annual banquet Of the Real Estate Board
OF New York in a speech characterized by
a denunciation of what he termed the
tendency TO make law "a system OF social
control. a scheme to regulate personal
conduct and practice"
Advocates Of this new era are intolersnt
Of the orderly processes Of government and
Of the opinions of others. the Governor
charged. He added that if they cannot
get what they want from the States they
would take all power away from the States
and give il to the Federal Government ="
He termed the new trend "a spirit Of exces-
siVe federalism" and expressed the belief
that II is fast destroying the American
system OF sovereign States united in
sovereign Natl0n.
In support Of this contention the gov
ernor pointed to efforts to pass a Federal
Child Labor law and establish a Federal
Department Of Education, two subjects
which he declared belong fundamentally
to the States.
Il believe in the right of each State to
settle In its own way questions which in
timately concern its people. its peace. its
order, its morals and its customs. said the
governor. Prohibition is such q question,
and there is grave danger in ignoring the
fact that the urban element is against
Volsteadism." he added.
why intensity the conflict between the
rural and the urban ?" the governor asked.
The South and West are rich in achieve
ment and richer still in promise. If they
want prohibition they are entitled to have
il, but why submerge the infinty OF prob
lens that confront them 10 q futile strug-
gle TO enforce prohibition in States which
do not want it,
1T is for principles plead. for policies,
for fundamentals. And a return to local
self-eovernment will. more than any other
one thing. tend to put an end to sectional
controversy. group interests and class con-
fiicts'
lmpelling forces in any real party pro-
gram come from the bottom, not from the
top. according to the governor, who as
serted that last falls elections give US
encouragement to believe that political
hypocrisy. political cowardice and political
buncombe are coming to be no longer
political assets" He added that the strong
common sense and instinct for reality
which are striking American characteristics
are again making themselves felt in Amer
lean politics.
Differences which can only breed discord
when handled nationally will disappear
when handled locally. in the opinion OF
Gov. Richie.
Nor is ii too much to hope that re-
awakened spirit of federation will leave
each man free to worship cd as his con-
science dictates. and that religion will no
longer enter the domain Of politics or be a
factor in a mans right to hold Office" he
declared
