Don't forget to turn out for tht
ferry meeting TO be held in the
Island Club House this Saturday
evening, September II. President
Miller of the Commercial Club re
quests that everyone interested be
present whether a member of the

Last week we published letter
from the Kitsap Countp Transpor-

ferry question and offering us a
seven trip schedule to Fauntleroy
alone with no guarantee of stage
service or change in the Fauntle-
roy dock
They also gave a temporary

the nineteenth OF this month that is
certainly a great improvement
over any previous winter service
that we have enjoyed. This in
cludes three trips to Marion
Stree and five trips to Fauntleroy,
three of the Fauntleroy trips to be
made at night. Both of these
schedules will be found on another

LOCAL STORE MAKES
CHAIN AFFILIATION

Mr.. Broughman of the Broman 5-10-
25c store, announces that his store has
become a member of a national league
of 5-10-25c stores. Through this affili-
alton Mr. Broughman says his store
gains the advantages of tremendous
buying power and direct and infiuen-
tial contact with the most important
markets in the country.
In this day of organization and affili-
alton, of cooperative associations, of
consultations and massed activities, it
becomes almost necessary for a man to
select the strongest possible organiza-
tion in which he can gain membership
and then become an active responsible
member, says Mr.. Broughman.
The Broman store will evidence to
the public the worth of its connection
with its national organization-called
the countrywide Ben Franklin League
of Retail Stores-by bargain offerings
which would be impossible to be offer
ed by any average individual store, eX-
cept as an occasional unwarranted
"show off,"
When a member store of this league
puts on a sale or offers specials at ri
diculously low prices, it's doing 1t, not
as an occasional gamble to give an ap-
pearance of buying strength-it is ac-
tually a reasonable and natural result
of the combined assets and efforts of a
large group of good merchants.
Mr.. Broughman says he will be GER
we'd with a special Broadway Merchan-
dising Service by men who are in the
market centers So weeks in the year.
He further states that his store will be
served and ministeTed to, in the same
way that a corporate chain serves and
ministers to its individual stores.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION HOLDS
FIRST PUBLIC MEETING

The Milford Civic Association for the
first time invited the public to a meet
ing on last Tuesday evening, when Rev.
Homer W. Tope, ID. D., the secretary of
the Anti Saloon League of Philadelphia,
delivered an interesting address in the
Community Building to an assembly of
about 65 people. Contrary to the eXpec-
tation of the audience, Rev. Tope con-
centrated his talk upon will Prohi-
bition Continue?" instead of the an
nounced subject, Law Enforcement"
of wider scope. 1t was a power temper
ance talk in favor of prohibition. Rev.
Tope, with convincing eloquence, ex-
planned how impossible it will be to re-
peal this law any more than all the
other laws which are violated equally as
often. He gave many forceful reasons
why prohibition shall continue and cit
ed interesting facts showing the bene-
ficial effect of the law in it's application
chord in his audience by saying that
mo one wishing to repeal this amend
ment could convince him he was a 100
per cent Americana" The High School
Glee Club entertained the audience with
beautiful musical numbers, assisted by
Miss Elier Rev Samuel c. Welsh made
the opening prayer. Milo c. Farber pre-
sided at the meeting, and Rev. ].
Franklin Bryan introduced the speaker.
Rev. Frank Herson closed the meeting
with prayer All the churches in town
were represented.
The object of this association is to
improve the civic conditions of Milford
and community, and all those who care
to fill out membership cards should see
the president, Milo c. Farber.

observation cages have been inspect
ed every two or three days by either
the Entomoligst or the County Agent
in order that an accurate check may
be kept on the pupation process and
the time of emergence of the adult
moths, for when these moths are OBJ
served flying about in these wire en-
closures, it is evident that they are also
flying around through the orchards. 1t
usually requires approximately ten days
from the time the adult moths hatch
until the eggs are laid and the second
generation of worms appear, conse-
quently, it is very important that tkAe
fruit growers be informed as to the date
for covering their apple trees with the
arsenate of lead spray to kill this de-
Structive pest
According 20 the records obtained
from these various cages when they
were inspected on Saturday of last
week, approximately two thirds of the
coon stage, and with the coming of
warmer weather, there is every indica-
tion that these life history changes will
be materially fastened with the result
that the emergence of the adult moths
may occur within the next few days.
AS soon as this emergence is noted.

the office of the Kent County Agent to
all the fruit growers in this area who
have been receiving this type of spray

ing them of the emergence dates and
calling their attention again to the ne
cessity of applying the arsenical sprays

also includes the sending out of the
various editions of the orchard spray

DRIVERS IN DELAWARE

found operating car without the
regulation license from the Secre-
tary of State.
Another regulation which the au-
tomobile department of the Secre-
tary of States Office has announced
is that no one except a bonafide
dealer in cars shall be allowed to
operate a machine with a dealers
tags. This regulation came about, it
is stated, through the operation of
cars by persons who had no licenses
or tags or titles. 1t is said that some
dealers have given buyers of cars a
dealers tag and told them to go
ahead and operate until their own
tags arrive. In the future, it is said,
all persons who are not dealers who
are using dealers tags to run their
car, will be considered in the same
position as man who has no Ii
cense tags or title to car.
Through the assistance of the
State highway police a check up on
automobile dealers tags is being
made throughout the State.
1t is said the same effort is being
made by some to obtain the reduced
rates accorded a dealer for motor
cars by many who are not bonafide
dealers. This condition prevailed a
couple of years ago and resulted in
at least one-fourth of the alleged
dealers being compelled to pay the
same rate as a private citizen.
