THE TUNNEL FAMILY
HAS ANNUAL REUNION
[Continned from first bagsl

1t was decided that all reunions
of the family will be held in the
future at Bethany Beach.
John P. West, Jr., of Hazleton,
Pa, was chairman of the evening
program, also held at Bethany
Beach. Harry Richards, of Phila-
delphia, Edward Thompson and Cap
tain William E. Tunnel, of Lewes,
were the speakers. The remainder
of the program consisted chiefly of
addresses made by Mrs. Sally West,
of Fayetteville, N. c., James M.
Tunnel, ST., of Georgetown; Mrs.
Annie B. Belts and Mrs. Oda Webb
of Fayetteville, N. c., and James M.
Tunnel, Jr., of Georgetown, pro-
claimed last year the best boy ora
tor in the United States.
Vocal duets were rendered by Mr..
and Mrs. William Powell, of East
Lansdowne, Pa, and several vocal
solos were sung by John P. West, of
Hazleton, Pa. Cornet duets were
played by Harold Harker, of Lewes
and Alfred Ellis, of Frankfort. John
Ellis, Ward Daisy and Robert Long
each played violin solos.
The reunion this year was held
under the direction of the Lewes
branch of the family. Next year it
will be arranged by the Georgetown
branch and those who will have
charge will be: Miss Rosalie R.
Martin, vice-principal of the George
town High School, Miss Elizabeth

given the opportunity to do some
practice judging with selected cock
erels and pullets, after which the
final examination will be held US
ing the trap-nested hens.
1t is the hope of those in charge
of the arrangements for this judg-
ing school that the poultrymen of
the county, and especially those in
the Hartly community, will take an
interest in this work to the extent
that this school will be one of the
most successful ones to be held in
the state this year. The course has
been planned to meet the practical
needs of the poultrymen in such
way that the information obtained
may be placed to a profitable advan-
tage and use on every poultry farm.
These schools are similar to the one
which is held at Cornell University
each year, and the bringing Of this
type of information to the various
communities of the state should be
regarded by the poultry raisers as
an excellent opportunity to make a
more thorough study of their poul-
try business for increased profits.

GRANGE CONFERENCE

The Atlantic Grange Lecturers
Conference held August 8, and 1C
at Ithaca, N. Y, was an event long
to me remembered by those who at
tended it. Those present numbered
about three hundred and came from
oranges all over the states of New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware and Maryland. They met
with royal welcome from the COM
mittees in charge and every effort
was made to promote friendliness,
and cheer. Ithaca is one of the
beauty spots of the Empire State,
and campus of Cornell University
with it's wonderful buildings and
beautiful grounds was an ideal spot
for the conference. Meetings were
held in the Baker building, one of
the most famous chemistry build
ings in the world. Among. the well
known speakers. on the program
were National Master Taber, Nation
al Lecturer ]. c. Farmer, and Chas.
M. Gardner, with many others of
state and national reputation. The
general themes were Grange Lead
ership, Farm Relief, Education and
legislation. Sightseeing trips were
taken to nearby lakes and glens,
picnic supper and rural musical fes-
tival were held in Enfield Glen, and
a second picnic at beautiful Cayuga
Lake. The delegation from Della
ware numbered ten, including the
State Lecturer A. B. Thomas and
the three Pomona Lecturers, Mrs.
Ruth of New Castle county, Mrs. ].
c. Conwell of Kent and A. E. Num-
of Sussex. Next year the conference
will be held at State College, Pa,
and it is hoped that many more
grangers will avail themselves of
the enjoyment and inspiration af-
forded by such a gathering. Begin
to plan for it now.

"HOLE-IN-ONE" CLUB

w. Casper Pierce Of Salisbury is
the first Salisburian to become a
member of the universal "Hole-in-
One" club of golfers. Pierce, who is

spurs on the Rehoboth Beach Coun-
try Club course, while playing in a

ager of the above company, S. G..
Pierce of Lewes, and himself.
The feat was the first of it's kind
accomplished on the Rehoboth
course, now in its second year.
Pierce made the fifth hole of 1876
yards, which has water hazard,
Silver Lake intervening between the
tee and the green, in one stroke. He
used a mashie niblick and drove the
ball within two feet of the pin, the
ball rolling into the cup.

spinach. and other things that every
physician urges should be eaten
daily are lacking.
I According to DR.. c. A. Sargent,
health physician for Kent county, it
is purely a matter of education. AS
soon as the parents realize that
their children are not receiving the
proper diet there is hope for a re-
vision of the menus. DR.. Sargent
pointed out that after the faulty
teeth and tonsils, defective sight
and hearing and ailments OF, the res
piratory organs have been discov-
cred it is then up to the parents to
see that the defects are corrected.
This is the only discouraging fea-
ture he said, and then related a con-
versation he had had with a promi-
nent native born Delawarean. He
told this man about the dilatory tao
tics employed by some parents, and
the native of this State said:
"I can realize the situation. If
chickens are afflicted with a dis
ease, the farmer will have the dis
ease eradicated, but with the chill
dren he many times forgets it. In
other words he'll cure his chickens
but his children can go by the way
side. In many families children are
considered liability and not an
asset"
For the past two or three years an
energetic effort has been waged by
the State Board of Health to reduce
the number of infantile deaths.
Plans are being made to conduct
prenatal clinics throughout the
State with the view of reducing in
FAINT mortality.

A DISGRACE TO MILFORD
communicated

communicated
Brigham avenue in the new Sec
ton of Milford, is a disgrace to the
town of Milford; water stands in
this street from two to six inches
deep. The residents of this street
have appealed to the Mayor, Mr..
Kirby, and he promised to have the
street fixed, but he has forgotten it
or his attention has been called to
some other place. What want to
know is what do these people pay
tax for? If the town cannot take
care of the streets what made them
bite off more than they can chew?
The people have asked for a light
to be placed on the pole at the in
tersection of Front street and Brig
ham avenue. That has been ignor-
ed. You cannot tell where this
street is on dark night. Now Cen
tlemen of the Town Council, do
something for this street in the way
of light and grading.

damage. Some of the small craft

mand for them by selling automobiles.
Now comes prominent American
motor manufacturer with a proposal
which seems a real stroke of business
genius.
He has offered to finance the con-
struction of long stretches of improved
highway in hungary and Bulgaria, his
only reward to be the profits on in
creased sales OF his cars let into these
countries aduty-free. He knows that
the Hungarians and Bulgarians will
buv more automobiles once they have
roads on which they can drive them
comfortably and efficiently, And he
knows that once they have started buy
ing automobiles they themselves will
bring enough pressure to bear to build
more roads. He knows also that good
roads are more than an index to ma
tional prosperity. They are dynamic
factors in that prosperity, The more
good roads a nation has the better will
1t be able to afford them,
Here is supersalesmanship. New mar
kets will be created Bread cast on the
waters will be returned manifold.
The cynic may sheer at the motives.
But the acid test will be the result
If a publisher builds billion dollars
worth of schoolhouses to teach people
to read so that they will become pur-
chasers of his books, why look to his
motives, The fact remains that the
world benefits by increased education.
If a clothing manufacturer finances
foreign missions so that ssvages Will
become civilized and eventually buy his
clothes, is not the essential criterion OF
his work the fact that a people have
been lifted from barbarism?
Making the world prosperous IN
order to create market is more than
supersalesmanship.
