MILFORD NEW CENTURY CLUB

The Milford New Century Club
met in regular session Monday,
March 81, with the president, Mrs.
c.. d. Abbott, in the chair. AS an
nounced last week, Mr.. Samuel c.
Evans presented the newest inven-
ton of the Victor Talking Machine
Co.-the automatic orthOphOnic Vic
trola. Through courtesy of the
company one of these remarkable
instruments was sent here in ad-
vance of it's introduction to the
public, and the demonstration was
conducted by the Victor represen-
tatiVe, Mr.. Robert SOper. This Ia
test development in the field of
musical reproduction automatically
changes its own records and Oper-
ates continuously for an hour with
a single filling of the record maga-
zine. At q turn of the switch con-
trolling the electric current the
turntable revolves, the mechanical
hand" picks up the first record
from the magazine and places it
gently on the revolving turntable.
The tone arm swings into position
and the needle is lowered to the
record all performed silently,
surely, and with exactness the hui
man hand could hardly duplicate.
Immediately the music began. The
record finished, the sound box was
lifted by the remarkable mechan-
ism and moved to one side. Again
the mechanical "hand" lifted the
record from the turntable asd de-
posted it in a felt lined case, then
continued up to the magazine and
picked off the second record, de-
posted it on the still revolving
turntable, the tone arm returned to
playing position and the music re-
sumed. When the last record had
been played and deposited in the
felt Lined drawer, the turntable
stopped automatically. The ladies
were delighted with the carefully
chosen program of music furnished
and greatly indebted to the Victor
Company and Mr.. Evans for the
most interesting and remarkable
demonstration.

Eighty-five per cent of the corn
raised in the United States is usu-
ally fed to some kind of livestock.
A crop of sOybeans is too valuable
as feed to plOw under for green
manure except under certain condi-.
tiOns. The soybean may follow
wheat or oats and make sufficient
growth to add considerable organic
matter to the soil.
A bird-hOuse placed on a pole or
in tree may be made inaccessible
to cats by use of a sheet-metal
guard. This may be either a cylin-
der about 1S inches long tackled
closely to the trunk, or a cone, high
enough to prevent cats from spring.
ing from the ground and obtaining
a hold above it.
Many hogs get their water supply
by the herdsman's pouring guam
tity of water into a foul, dirty
trough twice day. This system Of
watering is highly unsatisfactory.
Every lot or field in which hogs are
kept should be supplied all the year
with running water. or some system
installed whereby the supply is au-
tomato and the hogs have clean
water whenever they want it.
Don't wean pigs before they are
10 weeks old unless there is some
special reason for earlier weaving.
Some breeders wean at an earlier
age to get two litters a year. Or
dinarily a better practice is to
raise three litters in two years. A
pig that is stunted by early wean-
ing or from any other cause will
never make so profitable hog as
it would if this setback had not
occurred. When the pigs are to be
weaned, reduce the richness and
quantity of the sow's food four or
five days before weaving. This will
have a tendency to reduce the flow
o. milk.
A lot of folks think corn and
pasture are all their sows need to
farrOw strong, husky pigs. For the
best results feed something rich in
protein and minerals, in addition to
the corn and pasture. Animal tank
age makes a good addition to the
corn. Ten parts tankage to 80 parts
corn is a fine combination to feed
when the pigs are on pasture.
Sows should not be put in pens
earlier than days before farrow-
ing time. Then, when narrowing is
completed, they should have dry,
warm bedding. During the Today
period just after narrowing, the

Mother Chooses Job
So Children Nav PLAY

South Hadley, Mass.-Although the
Fairgrounds of most children are de-
termined by the residence and occu-
pations of their parents, Mrs. Sydney
Greenbie, author of travel books and
assistant professor of English at
Mount Holyoke college, confesses that
the reverse is true for her and that
she chose her job because her children
liked to play on the campus.
"When a woman follows a literary
career alone, she is free to drift about
this world unconcernedly," says Mrs.
Greenbie, who as Marjorie Latta Bar
stow travelled extensively, and subse-
quently wrote In the Eyes of the
East"
But as the mother of a family her
children must be considered before
her books. my work gives me freedom
to be with my youngsters, and they
have virtually become the college mas

In search of traditions Of old sea

up exceptionally good and the grow

Of mind. A feature of the shipping
of the Delaware apple crop this sea-
son is that under the law passed by
last Legislature the growers are get
ting the top prices in the market. The
Delaware apples are graded and the
carriers stamped while from Mary
land and New Jersey the apples are
not marked and as a consequence the
Delaware apples command a better
price. In the cities of the East, Del
aware apples command from half to
a dollar bushel more than the ap-
pies from the sister States. There is
better distribution this year and
manager Derickson of the Bureau of
Markets says the amount shipped to
terminal markets will be less than
last year, but the distribution to
smaller cities is more and better un-
der the system.
Delaware's peach season opens this
week and the growers will have a
fair crop but less than the big yield
of last year. The North Carolina

Screen and Stage
New Dover Opera House, Dover

~'NA OE~~@ @~OSND 0O'~A
Wednesday and Thursday-The in
scIutable Oriental-enigma of the
ages-this is the latest role of Lon
CLANCY, "man of a thousand faces
who had literally to learn a new
psychology to play his latest part on
the screen. This is the mysterious
mandarin, WI, in the new drama Of
Oriental intrigue and revenge "Mr.
WI" Although not his first venture
into Oriental roles, it is the first pic
ture in which CLANCY played an Ori-
entail clear through the picture, and
the first in which he was allowed full
sway in plumbing the depths of such
possibilities. The character is that of
a powerful mandarin, third man of
power in the Empire, whose uncanny
lore of centuries is augmented by the
knowledge of Oxford; whose strange
power almost suggests sorcery, and
whose character is both lovable and
sinister. "For years." says CLANCY,
Il have longed to play the real Orient
al-the actual product of China's
countless ages of introspection. In
this story | was given the opportun-
ity. Written by an author who knows
every intricacy of the Orient and its
psychology, it is the most nearly per-
feet pen-picture of mysterious China
ever done-although the story is laid
in ultra-modern times" The play
deals with the uncanny revenge plot
of the mandarin when a member Of an
English family in the Orient dishon-
ors his daughter. It illustrates per-
fectly the strange code of morals Of
the Orient, wherein life of a human
being is held absolutely valueless
against the traditions built up through
centuries Of custom.

GRADED APPLES PROFITABLE

Stamped Carriers Sell Better Than
Maryland And New Jersey Fruit
Delaware farmers according to the
Bureau of Markets are finding out
that the shipping of apples under a
grading and Standardization system
pays far better than the hokus pokus
style heretofore in practice. Already
there have been upwards of 600 car
loads of Delaware apples shipped. By
the end of the season there will be up
wards of 200 additional carloads mar
