ANNUAL PONY PENNING
Continued from first paxe)

For days before the annual Pony
penning at Chincoteague the rid
ers" scout over the miles of beach,
north of the Chincoteague inlet, To-
eating the herds for the drive and
before daylight on the day of the
roundup these horsemen with their
trained collies, who are great aid
in corraling the ponies begin round
ing up the herds. They are driven
down the beach and, confronted by
a waving, shouting line of men,
women and children, veer into the
corrall gates.
The owners pick out their
brands and look over the spring
colts. Visitors from all sections of
the East are present and are in
terested bidders in the subsequent
auction sale of the ponies. By noon
there are usually 300 or more ponies
milling around in the beach corral.
In the afternoon the colts are brand
ed and after the public auction are
released to roam for another twelve
months on the beach and in the
marshes.
AS rule spring colts sell from
$40 to $25; one year olds from $50
to $35, and two year olds from $50
to $50. Colts purchased on the
Island are ferried to the mainland

CULLING OF FLOCKS MORE
THAN PAYS BY CUTTING
FEED BILLS

The American farmer is a most
hospitable host, but his good nature
is often his undoing. This particu-
larly true of his live stock and
poultry.
Besides the usual number of un-
productive pet hens, great many
others in his flock are eating more
than their share and returning moth
ing for it," says the poultry depart
ment of the New York State College
of Agriculture. Even the most care
fully bred flock will have in it some
Gull hens which are not paying their
way. With present high feed prices
and low egg prices it is undesirable
to keep these boarders.
For many years men trained in
the poultry-judging school of the
state college have been sent out to
inspect the farmers flocks and to
Gull out those that are worthless.
The better farmers realize the value
of this service, for last year the men
q quarter of million
birds.
Any farmer who wishes to have
his flock culled should apply to the
farm bureau agent of his country.
The cost for the trained cutler is
from l to 2 cents for every bird
handled. This actually amounts to
5 or cents for each bird removed
as Improbable. But many farmers
have sald tnat this is cheaper than
paying from 20 to 80 cents month
to feed a worthless hen.

Delaware school children. They have
learned the value of cleansing the
teeth after each meal and they know
that it means saving them toothache
in later years.
In addition to the examination of
the teeth of children, Miss Seeds has
prepared a big display of posters
showing the work done by the chill
dren and of the hearty cooperation
received from school teachers who
have aided in the health crusade.
Through the courtesy of the L. d.
Caulk Company of Milford, Miss
Seeds will have samples of tooth
paste to distribute and will be on the
ground each day to explain to ia
theirs and mothers why the Health
Crusade is necessary in order to
prevent inroads of tuberculosis.
Reports from many teachers at
the end of the present school year
to Miss Seeds were to the effect that
the observance of the health chores
aided the children with their stud
les. They were not only healthier,
but brighter mentally and had lear
ned through personal experience,
why it was best for children not to
drink coffee but milk and water and
the need for sleeping with the win
dows open, taking bath regularly,
exercising properly, eating careful
ly and attending to the various lit
tie details of personal hygiene that
tend towards better health, appear

OBITUARY
BURRIS

The funeral service of Miss Eliza
beth Burris took place at the home
of her brother, e. Frank Burris,
last Monday at Houston, Del, and
it was probably the largest funeral
ever known in that town. Friends
and relatives from all parts of Della
ware and many from Maryland and
other states were present to pay
their respects to friend and well
known lady in public school educat-
ion work.
Miss Burris had filled her life
with active work and achievement,
under the handicap of having lost
her father when she was at very
tender age, but throughout her life,
the influence of splendid mother
was bulwark to help her over come
the difficulties as her life developed.
Sharing the responsibilities with
the mother as she grew into woman
hood, she never sighted her public
school, or neglected to take advan-
tage of all educational advantages.
Her work was done thoroughly and
the leading educators testify to
this fact.
After graduation from the Public
Schools, she entered Washington
College at Chestertown, Md, where
she graduated with honors, in 1904,
and after that she entered the ranks
of teachers in the Public Schools.
Miss Burris first taught for one
year at Willow Grove, in Kent
County, and then for three years of
excellent work in the Frederick
schools. Then for six years she
was engaged in Child Welfare
work in Pittsburgh, Pa. During the
World War she was in charge of the
Y. w. c. A. Camp at Carney's Point,
New Jersey, a place where thous-
ands of girls were employed in the
manufacture of powder and kindred
work.
After the war she was a teacher
of mathematics in School No., % in.
Wilmington, Del, where she re-
mained and made many real friends,
and was loved and respected by
pupils and employers, although the
work was difficult because of the
many pupils of foreign parentage.
To fit herself to the requirements
for this and other special work, she
took regularly summer courses at
the Pennsylvania Summer Schools.
She was one of a few teachers who
received A-No. 1, rating in the
City of Wilmington schools, and had
been reappointed for the next year.
She considered time as trust, and
used her time well, always charit-
able, never harsh or condemning,
reasonable and INDUCED in few
frivolities.
Miss Burris is survived by the
following sisters and brothers:
Miss Linda Burris, of Houston,
Del, Mrs. Laura Spurry, of Fred
erica, Del, e. Frank Burris, ex-
register in Chancery for Kent
County, Houston, Del, DR.. A. B.
Burris, of Salisbury, Md, Mrs. Rheta
Duffus, Supt, Florence Crittenden
Home, Wilmington, Del, Mrs. Aman-
da Lofland, Houston, Del.

Continued from page u

Confectionery of Mrs. J. Fred
Newhaus.
Tuesday evening there was pa
rade of firemen at CentreVille nine
miles away in connection with a
carnival the volunteers of that town
are holding this week. Word of the
Church Hill blaze was received while
this parade was in progress. There
were fourteen fire companies in the
line of march and of them the vol
unteers from Chestertown, Centre
vile, Still Pond, Hurlock, Millington,
Easton, Hartly, Del, Cordova and
one or two other places left the line
of march and speeded to Church
Hill. They laid lines of hose from
the Church Hill mill stream and had
an ample supply of water.
The volunteers were handicapped
in their work by several explosions
as the flames reached the gasoline
stored in the garage. There was one
terrific blaze Immediately following
which the flames shot high into the
heavens and illuminated the country
for more than mile. This spreading
of the burning fluid helped spread
the fire through the neighborhood.

PRISON TERMS WILL HELP

We are glad that Earl Carroll, the
theatrical man who put over the
"bathtub" scandal in New York,
had to go to prison. We are glad
that the jury convicted him and that
the supreme court and the president
to go his aid. We are glad that the
Encouragement did not let Car
rolls alleged illness interfere with
the course of justice. 1t is a good
example in the way of law and or
der. 1t is an EXAMPLE which thous-
ands of other offenders against de-
cency should ponder before they too
are put behind the bars where they
belong.
1t is fairly true that in this coun-
try we do not have convict big men
men who have powerful friends,
who command wealth and who can
employ the sharpest and most un-
scrupulous lawyers to get them off.
Seldom is it that we follow up
criminal case and see it through.
The lawyers have great way of
postponing cases and postponing
them util the witnesses are all scat
tered or dead and the public has for
cotton the outrage and run aft after
some new nine-days wonder.
So when justice is done in some
rare instance it is a cause for rejoic-
ing among those citizens who believe
in the solid things on which civiliz-
alton is founded. Earl Carroll is no
worse than multitude of others
who think they can defy and break
the laws and get away with it. This
lawlessness is not confined as it
used to be to the lowest classes; it
is the fashion in our "best circles"
Crimes against law and morals are
committed without let or hindrance,
and the offenders glory in it.
Many of our educators, ministers
and others who might join in sup
pressing these fast growing evils
sit back and do nothing. They are
afraid that if bad book or bad
play, for instance, is denounced it
will only stimulate the popular de-
mand for it. They might as well
say that it is all wrong to stop a
child from running in front of on
coming autos, because the interfer-
ence might put the idea into his
head.
Certainly the wind is being sown
in these days-and somebody is
going to reap the whirlwind. 1t is
in the eternal fitness of !
things, to avoid the consequences of |
evil ways. Causes do produce re-
suits, whether it. is in the physical +
or the moral realm.
These young smarties who are
running so wild during the present |
generation will come to the end of !
their tether in due course and will be |
brought up short. The chances are
that when they come to have the re-
sponsibility of raising children of
their own they will be far more
severe than their parents were.
Knowing by tragic experience he
terrible results of vicious ways, they
will make their children follow the
strait and narrow path or thrash
hem till they will at least have a
fear of authority. The
reaction is bound to come, and we
certainly pity the hapless children
Of these advanced" people of today
who think the command thou shalt
not" has no place in the world and
hat everyone should be allowed to
10 exactly as he pleases.
