MILFORD WOMAN FINED
FOR CUTTING RIVAL
Gertrude Russell Admitted She Had
"CarVed" Elizabeth Tilghman

In the Court of General Sessions
at Dover last Wednesday afternoon,
the case of Gertrude Russell and
George w. Sorden, mother and son.
colored, indicted at the present
term for assault and battery, was
tried by the court rather than by a
jury as is the general custom.
The prosecuting witness was
Elizabeth Tilghman, a Negress,
who charged that on the night of
February IA, 1928, at Milford, as
she was leaving her home on Pearl
street, to attend a dance, she was
seized by George w. Sorden and
held until his mother, Gertrude
Russell, came up and that the Rus
sell woman, cut her over the eye
with a knife.
The Russell woman admitted that
she did cut the Tilghman woman,
but not until the Tilghman woman
had struck her in the face when
she demonstrated with her for ap-
preaching the automobile in which
the Russell wOman's husband was.
and asked him to take her for a
ride.
Sorden, the other defendant, de-
MED being in the locality where
the Tilghman woman was on the
night in question and witnesses
seemed to prove his assertion.
The court decided the case very
quickly, by announcing that there
mad not been sufficient evidence IN
hold Sorden and verdict of mot
guilty" was given. His mother was
found guilty and was fined s25.

CELEBRATE EGG WEEK
THROUGHOUT NATION
Delaware Poultry Is Best Cash
Money Crop For Farmer

The Delaware State Poultry As
ISOLATION is again joining hands with
the National Poultry Council to cell
citrate the 1928 National Egg Week
May 1 to May z. The objects of
these Egg-Week Celebrations are to
annually call attention of the con-
Stunning public to the rapid growth
of the Poultry Industry and the i'm
portance of poultry and eggs as food
products. Another object of course,
is to stimulate the consumption of
eggs during the spring period of
flush production.
The annual products of the Poul-
try Industry in the United States
are now valued at more than one
and quarter billions of dollars. In
the entire United States the Poultry
Industry stands sixth from the top
in the list of agricultural products,
the five leading products being Dairy
products, Corn, Cotton, Hay and
Swine. In Delaware poultry and eggs
stand second, being exceeding in
value by only one agricultural pro-
duct-cOrn. AS cash crop poultry
products rank first in Delaware.
This means that any decrease in the
poultry output of the state would
greatly curtail the buying power Of
Delaware farmers. ShreWd business
men whose prosperity depends upon
the buying power of farmers will
realize the significance Of this stu
alton and do all they can to pro-
mote and stabilize the poultry indus
try of the State.

REDUCE MATERNITY
DEATH RATE In STATE
Average In Delaware Was 5.3 Per
1000 Last Year; Big Decrease

Through the educational work OF
the State Board of Health, and the
cooperation given that body by the
physicians of Delaware and the peo-
pie generally, in the last three years
the greatest progress ever made in
Delaware in reducing maternity
mortality has come about.
Records for the past year show
that the death rate in childbirth
among mothers, was So per 1000
births. The death rate for the year
previous was 9.S, almost 100 per
cent more. In other words, the
last years death rate in maternity
was the lowest Delaware has ever
experienced.
In discussing this achievement,
Dr. Arthur T. Davis, Executive Sec
rotary of the State Board of Health,
said:
"The success in Delaware has
been due largely to education. At
all health clinics held throughout
the State in the past two years and
a half, mothers, and prospective
mothers have been urged to obtain
the best care possible at this time.
This has resulted, we believe, in a
better understanding concerning it.
It is also due to the better control
now exercised over mid-wives.

CHURCHES OPPOSE
The QUESTIONABLE
Say Questions So WOrded A Fair
Expression Of Opinion Cannot
Be Had.

On Tuesday evening the Protes-
tant Churches, the Protestant Sun
day Schools and the WOmen's Chris
tiona Temperance Union in Milford
held meetings at which the ques-
tionnaire sent out by the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment and Mr.. Pierre S. Du Pont was
discussed. 1t was the unanimous
opinion that the questions were so
wOrded that they failed to give a
fair opportunity for expressing SEN
timent without the possibility of
having the answers misunderstood.
For that reason the local organiza-
tons recommended to their MEM
bers that this QUESTIONABLE be ig-
nored and no answers returned.
This action on the part of lower
Delaware drys was forecast by rep
of the Milford Chronicle
who attended meeting in Whining
.on last week at which time the
were submitted to

WORLD RECORD SET
BY HENS AT MILFORD
Pen Of Egg Producers Makes 1000
Yield For Is Consecutive Days

Lavinus Austin, manager of the
North American and Public Ledger
Egg-Laying Contest, which has
been conducted at Milford, in asso-
citation with the State Board OF
Agriculture, has the pleasure to
have "Pen of Hens" in the pres
ent contest which has made world
record, by making a 1000 produc-
ton of eggs for fifteen consecutive
days.
In reporting this record, the sec
rotary, v. L. Turner, says:
For the first time in the known
history of any egg-laying cOmpeti-
ton throughout the world, pen of
five Barred Plymouth Rocks have
put up an reproduction score
which is far beyond anything ever
expected from any breed or variety
of poultry.
"Pen 4, Pratt Experiment Farm,
Morton, Pa, on the last day of the
twenty-first week made a perfect
score. The seven days of the TWEEN
ty-second week likewise witnessed
perfect production. And this fact
was noted as a rarity, similar scor-
ing having been made in one or two
of the earlier years of these COM
petitions. When the score sheet for
the twenty-third week reached this
office it disclosed the unexpected,
of course, and caused no little sur
prise, for this pen had duplicated
it's performance Of the previous
week
Undoubtedly this score of fifteen
daily perfect yields will
stand for all time.
pen 5, Barred Rocks, Marvel
Poultry Farm, won first monthly
honor for March with 100 eggs. An
other Barred Rock pen, 4, followed
with 120 eggs, and a pen of Leg
horns, II, owned by Fred G. Smith, |
Of Milford, Del, with a score of 119
eggs for the month of March, gave
him third place for that month"
Mr. Austin has been with this |
contest for the last six
years, and John G. Jester is his
able assistant.

WESTERN CHICKS ARE
SHIPPED TO DELAWARE
POultrymen Say Biddies Produced
Here Not Up To Standard

The Delaware pOultrymen are
alarmed at the invasion of middle
western chicks into the east. This
state has reason to be concerned
because during the past week it is
reported that 1000 baby chicks
from the middle west were imported
into Sussex county.
These middle-western chicks are
sold at and cents apiece as COM
pared to Is to 20 and even % cents
a chick that Delaware hatcherymen
receive. 1t is reported that there is
national campaign underway in
which several million dollars is to
be spent in exploiting the sale of
middle-west chicks.
The question of a uniform stand
ard of regulations covering chick
ems was one of the questions dis
cussed at the recent meeting of the
Eastern States Marketing Officials
at Washington, and which was at
tended by DR.. Frank Hare, poultry
pathologist, of the State Board of
Agriculture. The discussion was an
animated one and no definite con-
illusions were reached.
