The farmers and growers of Selby-

ganization known as the Selbyville
Brokers and Growers Association, Inc.
The purpose of the mutual incorpor-
alton of the farmers and growers is to
take over the brokerage shed and lot at
the corner of Church street and Rail-
road avenue for the use of buying and
selling of fruit and produce upon the
property and making a loading space
for the loading of trucks to haul the
produce to city markets.
This shed has been used for several
years in the past for the selling OF
Strawberries and other produce which
is brought into this station by the far
mers from the outlying district, same
having been under the management of
Selbyville Fruit Brokers, as the brokers
thought it best to create a mutual Or
ganization with the farmers by taking
over this property which has been paid
for by taking from the sale of straw
berries in the past 1 cent per crate.
The property and building is all paid
for with a small sum in the treasury
which will be turned over to the new
incorporation accordingly.

"BETTER HOMES" CLUB
MET AT HARRISON
Will Hold Last Meeting For This
Season This Afternoon

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather, more than twenty-five wo-
men attended the Better Homes"
meeting at Mrs. Harry Hamilton's
at Harbeson, on last Friday after
noon, and they all felt fully repaid
for having ventured out on such a
stormy day.
The lecture by DR.. Dalema ORA
per, of Milford, who is State chair
man of Better Homes" was truly
inspiring, and those who were not
fortunate enough to hear her at
Mrs. Hamilton's should not fail to
be at the Molloy Vaughn's, near
Cool Spring, this Friday afternoon,
May 4th, from three to five, when
DR.. Draper will again be on the
Better Homes" program.
Mrs. McCabe, State President of
Federated Clubs, gave fine talk
and left several helpful household
hints" with us, and the local club
felt fortunate in having her on the
program.
Mrs. Andrew Marvel, of George
town, met with the club and during
the afternoon gave many helpful
suggestions, especially one on menu
planning. Mrs. Marvel has on many
occasions proved herself a friend
indeed to the club and everyone was
delighted to have her present Fri
day afternoon.
The speakers of the afternoon
were introduced by Mrs. Molloy G.
Vaughn, the local Better Homes"
chairman, who spoke of some of the
clubs activities. She mentioned
the work which has recently been
done towards identifying the
grounds of several of the homes in
the community, and expressed the
wish that the good work would
continue.
Before taking her guests on a
tour of her home, Mrs. Hamilton,
assisted by her daughters, served
tea and delicious homemade waf-
ers. The Hamilton home is one of
the most complete and convenient,
as we'll as one of the lovliest, in the
community, and Mrs. Hamilton
proved herself to be very charm
ing hostess.
On Friday afternoon of this week,
between the hours of three and five,
the last of the Better Homes"
meetings for this year will be held
at the home of the Molloy Vaughns,
near Cool Spring. Mrs. Vaughn has
planned a very instructive, as we'll
as entertaining program, and it is
hoped that a large number will at
tend.

The driver did not play fair.

existence Of youngsters who earned
their living on the streets, many Of
whom had no homes and who literally
lived by their wits. They had no
schooling, yet many of them made
good, their natural abilities developing

successful of American business men
got their start in the strictly individual
enterprises of street trades.
There was always tender feeling
for the youngster who would pop out
from a doorway and call Shine,

that was his established price for serv-
ice. There was no tipping in those

shoes had not come into vogue, and
white shoes in Summer time were al
most unknown. A box, cleat for hold

kit. The patron stood during the opel-
alton, perhaps leaning against a con-
venient wall or tree. Sometimes the
bootblack had little pad on which he
knelt during the polishing process.
