THIRTEEN YEAR OLD
BOY CHAMPION In
STATE SPELLING
rCnntinred from frst paael

Each of the contestants received
fine Funk and Wagnalls College
Standard Dictionary as a gift of
Every Evening, when the bee had
been concluded.
Prior to the bee the contestants
were served a dinner in the Hotel
du Point Biltmore.
William F. Metten, publisher of
Every Evening, explained the origi-
nation of the idea of the spelling
bee. He thanked DR.. Holloway and
David A. Ward, superintendent of
public schools, for their splendid
cooperation in helping to make the
bee a success. The old fashioned
spelling bee was described by Mr..
Metten as the source of much enter
tainment, yet very educational. In
conclusion he expressed the hope
that in promoting the spelling bee,
the newspaper is useful to the pu-
pills, as we'll as the schools.
DR.. Holloway stressed the rela-
tionship between education and in
dustry and business. "As long as
the cost is on the Every Evening
and fun is being had by all, we can
find no fault" he declared.

MILFORD GRANGE

A pleasant feature of the meeting
last Saturday evening was visit
from seven members of Fruitland
Grange and several juveniles. These
visitors assisted in the program. The
young folks presented a humorous
little play, and gave several recita-
tons. Visitors are always welcome,
and we hope to see these friends
and others often. After the exercises,
Carlton Jester, master of Milford Ju-
venile Grange, invited everyone to
the dining room, where delicious ice
cream and cake were served. This
was a surprise furnished and served
by the Juveniles. Next Saturday eve
ming the lecture hour will be in

Shew, and they are preparing a fine

gram. Come and enjoy it with us.

cision has not yet been handed
down. 1t is admitted that the law in
the matter is not plain.
1t is understood that the judges of
the court who heard the argument in
the case are willing that the case
should be heard in the court en-
banc and feel that on account of the
Importance of the matter that it
should be done. This being the case
it is expected that the request made
by the Attorney General and coun-
sci for DR.. Gregory will be granted.
A time will then be fixed for rear
guing the case. 1t is explained that
this method will take longer in OBJ
tanning decision but when the de-
cision is given, it will be final so far
as the courts in this State ire con-
cerned.
Boxing fans in all parts of the
State are interested in the Gregory

case. During the past few years
boxing arenas have been operating

The increase brings the total area
under ban during the beetle season
to nearly 10000 square miles, ac-
cording to official in charge of the
laboratories and beetle station here.
The largest territory brought I'M
der regulation this year includes a
stretch across Northern Pennsylva-
MIA and seven towns in Cumberland
county, the only area put under the
ban west of the Susquehanna River.
The increase of regulated territory
in Pennsylvania of 1857 square
miles, or from 1922 square miles, or
from 1922 square miles to 1929, is
the largest in the five affected States.
All of New Jersey and 1876 square
miles in Delaware to point below
New Castle remain under regulation.
In New York, where the quarantine
area has been increased from S89 to
1892 square miles, the remainder of
Long Island, (all of Suffolk coun-
ty on the eastern end) has been add
ed, together with all of Rockland
county, just north of the New Jersey
line.
The area in Connecticut has been
from SO to 357 square miles
to include more than half of Fair
field county. Last year Greenwich

When, a year ago, Dover requested
that travel be switched through the
town to Governors avenue, the State
Highway Commission informed the
town authorities that they must OBJ
tain the sight of way on Governors
avenue.
Last week a delegation conferred
with c. D. Buck, chief engineer of
the State Highway Department, con-
corning the matter. Another SUCCESS
ton recently made would eliminate
through traffic through Dover by use
of a cutoff starting north of the
town. No further action has been
taken on this matter, but it is be-
ing urged by many interests in order
to avoid the congestion that abounds
most of the time because of the
parking of cars on both side of the

sued a check in favor of Burris for

her to mail it to Box No. rs, at Sell

This was done and the name Of
Burris was, it is said, forged to the
check. A second check is said to
have been issued to Burris for S51

sent to the postoffice box. For
some reason it was returned to the

gave them a clue that something

Ferall, commerce assistant to the
freight traffic manager of the Penn
sylvania Railroad of Pittsburgh.
The carriers had proposed to can
Gel the present commodity rates on
less carload shipments of iron and
steel articles, thereby reverting to
class rates. In behalf of the ship
pers and receivers, the Transporta-
ton Bureau of the Association con-
tended that the existing class rates
are on an improper basis and claim
ed that instead of the rate being i'll
creased, it should be reduced. The
class rates for Pittsburgh district
to the Peninsula are made arbitrar-
les over Wilmington, which would
produce rate of 461a cents instead
Of 471s cents, and the carrier had
to advance this to 48 cents.
In presenting his case, Mr.. Card
ner emphasized that the class rates
