was made in the county and state
newspapers that plans were being
formulated by H. S. Palmer, Exten-
sion Poultryman of The University of
Delaware, in cooperation with the
county agricultural agents and groups
of interested poultrymen, whereby a
number of poultry judging schools
would be held in different sections of
the state during the months of Aug
ust and September for the purpose of
giving the poultry raisers an oppor-
tunity to learn some additional Infor-
nation concerning the selection of
high producing birds, and those which
should be kept for breeding stock.
The. poultry farmers throughout Kent
County will be interested to learn that
arrangements have been made by
County Agent Russell E. Wilson for
holding one of these judging schools
at Hartly next Monday and Tuesday,
August Is and 16, and a cordial invi-
tation is being extended to all poul-
trymen in this part of the state to at
tend this two-day meeting. These
schools will be in charge of the Poul-
try Specialist and the County Agent

men who have attended the judging
school which is held at Cornell Uni
versity for one entire week each sum-
mer. No charge will be made to
those who desire to enroll in these To-
cal judging schools, and the only re-
quirement is that those people in the

MILEAGE BILL in LEVY COURT

County Engineer Bice Presents Bill of
S566-Says County Should Buy Auto
Kent County's Levy Court at its
session in Dover last week discussed
at length County Engineer Bice's bill
for mileage presented two weeks ago,
amounting to $566. 1t is pointed out
that the county would be better off to
purchase car for the use Of the en-
gineer than to pay a mileage bill Of
over five hundred dollars for three
months travel. Years ago the court
did purchase an automobile for the
use Of the engineer but it was after
wards sold and since that time the
engineers have been using their own
cars and allowed mileage. A former
Levy Court allowed mileage at the
rate Of $25 month.

Ford Forced Sale of

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 1S.-Minority
in the Ford Motor COM
pany were forced to sell their stock
to Henry Ford in 1919 because he
threatened to withdraw from the COM
pany and build another car in compe-
titton, it was revealed at the 100000
900 governments tax recovery suit
here. 1t was reported at the trial that
some of the holders were terrified
at the thought of what would happen
to the value of their stock should Ford
carry out his threat; so they sold out.
CIashed With Dodges.
Ford's threat came after policy
clashes with the Dodge brothers. Ford
wanted free hand while the Dodges
wanted some control themselves. In
1918 the Dodges filed suit against
Ford 10 force him to declare dividends
on a $52,O0O,OOO surplus, instead of re,
investing the money. The Dodges won
the suit. ru
Ford may be asked to testify at the
hearing, it is said, to give his views
on the proper valuation of Ford stock
as of March, 1913, which is the bone
of contention at the trial.
