The great success of the annual
Halloween Masqued parade held at

February 14th.
The merchants of Dover are al
ready making arrangements to offer
several fine prizes to the many con-
testants who will dance and sing in

ward to spending a very enjoyable
evening.

string to enter will please commun-

LATE APPLES FIND
MARKET VERY DULL

Growers of apples of the late va
riety are becoming concerned re-
garding the apathy of the market
and the little demand for this fruit.
With one of the largest crops in
many years and with much of it in
storage and with prices off, the
question of how to dispose of the
apples before they spoil is giving
them considerable anxiety.
The average price for ordinary ap-
pies ranges from 35 cents to $1.5O
a bushel. For more choice variety
the prices range from $1.50 to $1.75
bushel.
Some idea of how apples are sell
ling by the barrel in eastern mark
cts may be gained by the following
figures:
In Chicago the prices ranged
from $3.10 to $3.50 a barrel. New
York ranges from $3.50 to $3.50 for
Greens and S2.75 to O350 for Bald
wins, with Mcintosh apples, which
is a red-skinned, luscious apple.
holding the top price from $3.50 to
$3.50 a barrel.
In Philadelphia the price OF Bald
wins range from $2.25 to $500
barrel.
Growers of soy beans in Sussex
and Kent counties are doing just
about fair with their crop this year.
This character of bean is bringing
from $21O to $2.25 a bushel. While
this is not a fancy price, conditions
are better than they were a year
ago when the growers found it al
most impossible to dispose of their
soy beans but through efforts of the
Bureau of Markets, many of them
were abe to dispose of the beans
and meet expenses.

be a branch of rhe State Board of
Health in each county. The head of
each county unit would be a physi-
clan who would have all the powers
of a deputy health official with a
nurse.
The visiting nurses would report
suspicious cases and through the
holding of clinics the control of
contagious diseases would be more
quickly disclosed. 1t would afford
opportunity for medical supervision
of the entire county and the inspec-
ton of school children which is the
project the State Board of Educa-

 Now Black Pussy was very much put out. As long as she could re- member she had regarded as her very own that retreat under the back porch. Once or twice she had had visitors who had forced her to get out. Jimmy Skunk was one. But these visitors never had remained Now here was this young upsta..t of a Chuck digging hole under there No wonder Black Pussy was upset. But being upset didn't help her ny.

Your Health How to Keep It.

Editor, Journal Of the Americal Medical Association, and of Hy- geta, the Health Magazine The type of vacation that ! per son chooses ought to be such a will cause him to forget his usua occupation and habits. The desl worker and clerk will probably en joy most of all some time spent out of-doors in moderate muscular ex ercise. Walking in the woods ol along the bank of stream is milo enough for anyone. and may -e in. dulged in according to the indiviGu. al's strength. Golf is good if you enjoy it and if the arrangements 1o1 playing are not themselves so diff cult as to be disturbing. Tennis is usually too vigorous for the rerson unaccustomed to exercise and the same is true of baseball.
 By the very nature of things 8 manual laborer might find a vaca- tion spent in hammock with a good book an ideal form of recuper- ation. Usually. however. he seems 10 prefer sitting on the bleachers in the ball park and spending the eve ming in a moving picture emporium. For him, fishing ought to be ideal, since he is concerned primarily with a change of scene and with a rest. Unquestionably, the mental variation is as important as the physical. It is, therefore, probably desirable for head of a household to spend his vacation away from his family.
 The broker who attempts to re- cuperate in a hotel in which he keeps iii touch constantly with his ticker will probably return from his vacation more tired than when he went away.
 The old Mosaic law ordained one day of rest in every seven. The conscientious observer thus relaXes fifty-two days out of three hundred and sixty-five.

Miss Susan Panda Tells How Cuticura Healed Pimples
Put one on-the pain t gonel

1 My trouble began with itching land burning and later formed pim- pies that were hard, large and red. My face, neck and back were mostly affected. The irritation caused me to scratch and after scratching them the pimples scaled over and formed sore eruptions. The irritation usually caused loss of sleep at night. The trouble lasted nearly three months. 1 "A friend advised me to try Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment 50 pur- chased some.

 She stopped for an instant, and l saw her fingers twist together.
 But later, when all those terrible things happened, and knew Harry was responsible for them, realized that primarily I was the one to blame. was extremely remorseful, yet not so much 50 that gave any response to the tentative efforts at reconciliation he made after he had been rehabilitated by the Govern ment on account of his service over seas. Oh, do not mean he asked me to take him back-Harry is too proud for that" she explained quickly. but I knew that he was anxious to come home. Yet I made no sign because I so feared that Marion's welfare might be affected by his return.
 Then" the rich voice, It's throaty contralto husky now, trembled per- ceptibly, Robert Sayarin came back into my life. But you know all about that revived romance, the most beautiful thing in my life save my daughter"
 There was something in her voice which made me dare to lean for ward and take her twisting hands in mine. With convulsive little tremor she put her face down against those clasped hands. and re- mained thus, silent. rigid, gripped by her memories. while I wondered, as had done many times before, whether she considered that "most beautiful romance" definitely at an end.

Revival of Lilljan's Romance Seems
 Possible

Revival of Lilljan's Romance Seems
 Possible
 My heart echoed Lillian's cry that her daughter, Marion, was he in every trait, and held in her no re- semblauce to her dead father, Tom Morton. The man had been, as Lil- lian said, blackguard, wrecking her life, and for years keeping her little daughter from her. But l ut tered no word of my acquiescence aloud. She was being swept along by her memories into unusual self revelation. and l knew that l must not startle her by comment.
 When we were divorced, and be- cause of Toms treacherous villainy, Marion was taken from me. I was like wild trapped thing for awhile. Gradually I fought myself to sanity with the determination to live and watch over my child without her father knowing it. Then, many months late,. Fate sent Harry across my path. He had been equal ly battered by Life; he really was in worse straits than l, but there was some kink Of mentality, of humor, of love of adventure in each Of us which answered 10 the other, and after awhile I've agreed 10 pick LID the tangled broken threads which were all that Life had left us, and try to weave them into some sort of pattern again.
 I did not appear 10 notice her quick substitution of the pronoun I've" for "I," but I knew what lay behind the suppression of something which a lesser woman would have proclaimed loudly. It had been Harry Underwood, in desperate need of her stanch dependability and her merry affectionate comradeship. who had urged that they join their lives, and Lillian, who never in her life had been able to ignore even a stray mongrel lifting up a broken paw for sympathy, had consented to the union. : Cautiously enough" Lillian went on, ''the experiment for several years was success. We never pre- tended to any wild romantic ardor for each other, but there wa-s be- tween us genuine comradely affec- ton which made life tolerable. We were so easy-going couple that neither objected to or questioned any outside activity of the other.
