POULTRY CLUB MEETS
TO BE HELD In KENT
Growers VIII Have Opportunity To
Attend Two Meetings

Those poultry raisers in Kent
county who are concerned about
keeping a complete account of their
poultry business each year in order
to determine the actual expenses
and receipts of their flocks are in
vited to attend the poultry meetings
which will be held next week in the
central and western sections of the
county under the direction of Coun-
ty Agent Russell E. Wilson and H.
S. Palmer, extension peultryman of
the University of Delaware, for the
purpose of discussing this project
with the interested groups of poul-
try farmers and forming what are
known as complete record clubs in
these two communities.
One of these meetings will be held
in the Caesar Rodney School build
ing, between Camden and Wyoming,
on Wednesday evening, September
26, at 8 o'clock, for the benefit of
those poultry raisers in the central
and southern parts of the county.
The other meeting has been sched-
uled for Thursday evening, Septem-
ber 27, at o'clock, in the public
school building at Hartly, which
will be attended by the poultrymen
in that section where one of these
complete record clubs was organized
a year ago this fall.
The fact that commercial poultry
industry in Delaware, as well as
throughout the United States, has
made such rapid expansion within
the past few years, and since our
adequate methods of transportation
have placed the egg producers in
every section of the country in di-
rect competition with each other,
there is an urgent need for those

FTREMEN'S CARNIVAL
WAS A BIG SUCCESS
In EVERY RESPECT
Total Net Amount Realized Was
$6,4ls.2O, Which Was About
$500 More Than Last Year.
MILFORD MAN WON CAR
William H. Warren, Merchant,
Won Hudson Sedan And Miss
EIlingswOrth Given Furniture.

The carnival held by the Carlisle
Fire Company, and which was post
poned owing to the extreme bad
weather of two weeks ago, ended
last Saturday night, success IN
every respect. Notwithstanding the
fact that postponement was neces-
sarv large crowds attended the car
nival each night that it was open,
and financially the affair was a huge
success. After paying all expenses
incident to the carnival a total OF
S6.4l9.2O was realized by the tiremen
for their efforts to provide delight
ful entertainment for the citizens of
Milford and surrounding territory.
Immediately after the accounts had
been settled, the firemen went to the
two local banks where they paid OF
S6.OOO.O 90 of the indebtedness against
the Community Building. The inter-
est on the money was also paid III
full to date. After making the pay
ment a total Indebtedness of ap-
proximately S3S,000.00 is still out
standing against the building. This
the firemen hope to pay off within
the u6AL lew yCdA D wan ~ Nf~@NN
ton such as they have been receiv-
ing from the public the debt will
soon be retired.
Saturday night the carnival
grounds were crowded until mid
night, and the firemen were able to
dispose of almost all of the mer-
chandise which they had bought for
the affair. The Hudson Sedan was
awarded to William H. Warren, To-
cal merchant. The suite of living
room furniture was given to Miss
Sallie Ellingsworth, of Lincoln. The
$25.OO in gold went to a young man
from Milton.
The carnival was conducted in
such a manner that all who attend
ed were pleased, and the firemen
profited thereby. They are more
than pleased with the support given
them by the public and desire to
have the Chronicle say that at all
times they stand ready to answer
calls for assistance without charge.

Tourists to Canada
Must Now Garry Car
Registration Card

BY a recent decision the United
States treasury department has abol
ished the necessity for tourists going
into Canada obtaining customs per
mits on leaving the United States, ac-
cordEng to information received here
Friday by Col Charles L. Sheridan,
collector of customs.
Under the new ruling the state
registration card will be taken as
proof Of the origin and ownership Of
Automobiles, and it VIII be incumbent
upon American travellers going into
Canada to carry THAR state regintra-
ton card in the car with them.
The change has been made to save
time, labor and expense dispropor-
tionate to the value OF the results
obtained by the maintenance OF this
system" the information states. How
ever, customs officers are urged 70
exercise care in the varification OF en-
gine numbers and other data appear

REFINERY FIRE DOES
LITTLE DAMAGE

Fire which broke out at the
Big West refinery about noon
Monday did very little damage
The fire originated in the boil
er room, and with quick work
on the part of the employees
and the assistance Of Kevin
citizens the flames were soon
extinguished. No time Of OPP
Grating, SO to speak, was lost,
as they were right on the job
the next morning refining
crude. The refinery is very
fortunate to This end.
The management of the Big
West refinery wishes to take
the opportunity thru the col
umns of this paper in voting
thanks to Kelvin citizens who
so faithfully helped to over
come the fire, which might
have proved very disastrous.

BANKS REPORT
JUMP IN RESOURCES

Helena, March - Total resources
in Montana's ctato al d private banxa
have increased mors than $6O9O.OO2
from Dec. S1.1926. Is Fet. 2S.l9gS, al
abstract of conditions compiled hy
the state superintendent Of banks, A.
J. Loohrie, revealed here Saturday.
Further evidence Of improved con-
ditions, MrLochrie said, is the fact
that Dec. 81. 1927, total deposits in
state and private banks were $83.S89,-
374.18 and Feb, %, 1928, they had in
creased to $Ss, ,57s,2 ,2SO.s1, an increase
of almost 100000 more than the nigh
point OF last year.
This increase, superintendent
Lochrie declares, has been attained
despite the general regarded fact that
deposits are expected to show sub
stantial decrease during the first few
months OF now year, because Of the
usual seasonal disbursements by bust
ness men and eastern payments TO
bondholders of maturing obligations
of the stae's counties and nlunicipaii-
ties.
Mr. Loohrie said large portion Of
the more than $6.OOO,OOO increase
over Dec.31, 1926, is invested in c..sh
reserves or in banKable bonds and
securities, and that during this same
period real estate as owned by banks
has been reduced almost $250.OOO, in
dicating, he said, an increased inter
est and demand for Montana lands.
The report showed that in the same
period deposits have increased more
than $7.OOO,OOO. savings accounts be-
ing responsible for $2,OOO,OOO of the
increase.
Although the number Of state banks
decreased last yesr, Mr.. Dochrie ex-
planned that this was brought about
by voluntary liquidations, in which all
depositors were paid in full by con
soldations erected to relieve over
banked conditions that have existed
in some communities.
I'm the last year, Montana has nad
but one failure among state banks,
declared Mr. Lochrie.

LAND COLLECTIONS SHOW
BIG INCREASE

Helena, April B.. Collections from
the Scent gasoline tax for March
reached $70.95914, making total OF
$258, 8,O2O.29 derived from this source
since Jan. this year, Phil D. Green
an, chief clerk of the state board OF
equalization announced. The state
board during the last month approx
ed for payment total OF $1,696.5S in
refunds to consumers OF gasoline used
in machinery for other purposes than
transportation upon public highways.
The collections from the 3-cent tax
are placed in the state highway fund
for construction and maintenance OF
public highways on which federal aid
has been secured.
Coal license tax fees brought 1896.
80 into the state treasury last month,
the corporation license tax, $25,246. SO.
and the oil tax, $612.53
During january, February and
March 4,37o separate collections Of
money were made by the cashier in
the state land department, aggregat
ing $449, ,213.41, while during the same

rate collections we're made which
reached $394,S27. 40, says l. NJ. Brand
jord, commissioner of state lands and
investments
Although these figures show an in
crease of more than $4,000, they do
not explain the real story, Mr. Brand
jord explains, for the reason, that the
1927 collections included about $780,
900 constituting the first payments on
land~sales conducted the previous fall
The 1928 collectlons Hselllded NO such
first payments on land sales as these
we're taken into account before the
end of the previous year When first
payments on land sales are eliminat-
ed from the 1927 figure, the actual in
crease of collections during the first
three months of 1928 exceed those OF
1927 by more than $4,000.

3HOWIN ~ DIVIDEND BETWEEN
APRIL g AND g..


According to a wire received this
II rning hrOm Joe Baker the No.
s. Il is again taking its semi4occa
s.enal squirt Mr.. Jett, who is in
q lrge, yesterday morning wired the
lvcal office Of the company that the
well was starting on dts pressure
sgurt again and had produced 700
barrels in four hours. Last night
AEg Baker wired the Monitor saying
that q iater measurement Of the oil
produced in the tanks showed that ON
a iour-hour test during the afternoon,
the well made 1000 barrels. These
G urts, however. must not be taken
as an average Of what the we'll is do
ing. When they are over, the oil
dlsiats down end the column of oil
fl.l,xs into the casing and it often has
to be pumped to agitate it and when
it is stirred up, the gas pressure gen
orally grows and in few days again
reaches its peak, at which time ex-
ceptional1y heavy production is made
for number of hours Then it re-
cedes and this sort of a process has
been going on ever since the wei
came in. OF late, or since the big
squirt when SO much oil was lost, the
pressure does not reach such a hign
point, but it accumulates oftener

that the amount of the dividend would

No. 8 Very Encouraging
No. 8 well was shut in several days
ago after it began to show very little
water and heavy increase in gas.
According to Mr. Bakers theory the
well is approaching the point where
he expects it to turn to oil. The well
was shut in several days ago and on
Tuesday showed 48O pounds Of gas
pressure. Mr.. Baker left instructions
not to touch the valve until he re-
turned. He left here for the field
Tuesday evening. His idea was to
hold the gas in for time in the hone
that when 1t was turned loose it would
throw the accumulated water out
with a rush and give the oil and gas
a chance to assume control Just how
this will terminate remains to be
seen, but the experiment can have no
M effect.

The Sunburst company requested
that Calender be enjoined from re
moving casing, tubing and other esuip
ment used in connection with the
operation Of the wells on the ground
that the company would be damaged
by this action
