STREET REPAIR
 FUNDS ARE FOUND
Finance Board Would Transfer
 Money From Reserve

Street construction work will be reopened on . broad scale if the common council at its meeting to- morrow night concurs in the vote passed by the board of finance and taxation last night which contem- plates transfer of s2S,275.75 from reserve funds to the street fund.
 Although referred to as reserve funds" the money is actually that which had been set aside to pay a refund for cancelled liquor licenses. should there be legislative or court action requiring municipalities to re- imburse saloon keepers who were legislated out of business before their licenses expired.
 This proposition came before the finance committee on recommenda- ton of Mayor Paonessa who had found street operations curtailed for want of funds when he returned from his vacation. The mayor had instituted the road building program to relieve conditions of unemploy- ment and feels, he told the commit tee, there is need for relief meas ures for several months to come.
 The vote to make this appropria- ton was unanimous.
 Authorization to issue city notes in plation of bond sales, was voted the mayor and city treasurer as follows: School bond obligations to meet deficit in new buildings ac- count, $50,O00; water bonds for pre- liminary work on filtration job and to straighten out complications in account keeping, $150,O00; repair item in school accounts. for which a one-tifth of one mill tax. payable next year has been voted, $22,S17.
 After expressing views in opposi-
 tion to any program which might bt
 intcrpretated as a celebration rather
 than dedication of the World Wal
 mem orial. the commissioners voted
 to recommend that an amount mo to exceed $l0,o00" be made from the emergency fund, Before this amour can be drawn it will be necessary t' l add s5.113.64 which is receivabl' ) from the state bus tax account. Chairman l.. F. Hall reported hay ing found the water department ha' not kept rentals and bond receipt
 separately, but like the school com
 mittee, had been drawing indiscrim inately on both, the result being tha 5 one of the funds now owes the Othe . money.

than New Britain pay their engin- eers and superintendents larger sal- aries. He continued with a state- ment that Faselli has saved his sal- ary for two years by his work in oiling the streets.
 Councilman Sablotsky brought out the information that ex-Mayor George A. Quigley had praised the condition of the streets and the work of the superintendent. Mayor Paonessa said ex-Mayor o. F. Cur tis also expressed similar views.
 sablotsky continued with the state ment concerning the pay of City En- gineer Merriam: If city Of S0,00o people cannot pay an engineer $4.- 500 we ought to do away with the job. If an engineer isn't worth $50 a week he isn't worth five cents. It's political spite all the way through. If the democrats work their spite it's because they did not get some ap- pointment from the present admini- stration and the republicans are do- ing it because they want to block the administration"
 There isn't an engineer in the common council, yet that body tries to determine what the qualifications of the engineer are ard it votes con- trary to the board of public works which has had him under supervi- sion every day in the year for eight years" the councilman concluded.
 Councilman Murphy made the mo- ton for $4.5O0 for the city engineer. $2,5OO for the street superintendent and S3,O00 for the parti-time super- intendent.
 When Nair refused to vote with the other two on the salary Of the street superintendent, the mayor asked:
 "Dave, don't you think Faselli is worth $2,5O0?"
 "Yes, if he does his job right he is worth more," the alderman an swered.
 When it was shown that it wa! the opinion of both republicans ant democrats that the streets are II 
 good condition, the alderman said h'
 did not think it advisable to pa! : the superintendent more than s2.20' the first year. but if he proved hi , worth Nair said he would appear be fore the councils salary committe'
 with a request for a raise in the sal ary.
 Before the discussion came to a! end it was finally decided that tn board of public works would hay :, to make recommendation relative t the salaries of Faselli and Maria and the park board would have t
 do likewise in recommending Filing woods salary. The special commit , tee would back up the recommends . Il ton with an oral report. Hansi Reuter-. 2-year-old son of o Lutheran minister in Budapest, puzzling doctors. His hair. original

COOKIES BLAZE TRAIL FOR
PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT

It's a long way from the pantry
to the chanceries of Europe and the
halls of Congress where Vice Presi-
dent Charles G. Dawes now long
has occupied a place of prominence.
But in the progress of the vice
president the cookies of Caro- Dawes,
otherwise Mrs. G. G. Dawes, have
had a not unimportant part. Early in

Woman's Home Companion, his

which were the product of Mrs.
Dawes culinary work.

CONCERNED OVER
ASPARAGUS CROP
Growers Fear Product From Other
States VIII Cut Profits

Delaware farmers, who go in fol
raising asparagus, are just a bi
concerned about the outlook |fol
this years crop, early shipments o
which began going forward this
week. With the acreage believed tt
be about the same as last year anC
with the greens looking first-class
the question in the Delaware aspar-
agus growers, now, is how much
South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland
and California asparagus is going
to cut into his profits.
Asparagus prices this week range
from $3.50 to 81 a dozen punches
The top price was gotten by the
western product. One of the big
gest plots of asparagus is located
near Middletown, where one hun
dred acres is coming into harvest.
Down State farmers who have
gone in heavily in raising broccoli,
the Italian green, are not receiving
the same high prices this year that
have prevailed some years for this
green. Prices this year have rang
ed from fifty to seventy-five cents a
bushel. The Delaware broccoli
raiser has to compete with the farm
ers of Texas and Virginia.
Several years ago, before the
raising of this green amounted to
much in Sussex, farmers were able
to obtain $500 an acre from this,
but that time it is believed will
never occur again, because so many
have gone into the business.
According to W.\T. Derickson, di-
rector of the Bureau of Markets of
the State Board of Agriculture, the
apples not only look good, but the
orchardists expect to obtain a fancy
price for them because there are no
apples left in storage. Realizing the
benefit to be obtained from govern
ment inspected apples, there have
been more applications for federal
inspection this year. Because of the
Delaware branding law on covered
carriers of apples, Mr.. Derickson
has had more inquiries from bro
kers and commission houses than
previous years. This is due to the
guarantee this law provides for all
covered packages of apples.
Wheat is coming along fine and
at this time appears to be in as good
as ever. In Sussex coun-
ty several large wheat growers are
getting their combined harvesting
in good condition. These
machines not only cut the wheat,
but thrash it as the machine goes
along. This saves any waste from
wheat harvested the old way and
stood up in shelves waiting to be
thrashed.

CUT WORM CONTROL

Within the past ten days the at
tention of Kent County Agent Rus
sell E. Wilson, has been called to
the fact that many of those farm
ers who are setting out the south
ern grown tomato plants are ex-
periencing considerable trouble
with the cut worms, which are very
destructive to the young plants in
the open field early in the season.
The recommended control for
these cut worms is the poison bran
mash, which can be prepared by
using 20 pounds of bran and one
pound of paris green in a dry mix
ture, and then adding 2 quarts of
cheap molasses, 8 lemons or oran-
ges chopped up fine, and gallons
of water. The dry mixture should
then be moistened with the liquid
preparation until the whole mass
sticks together; but care should be
taken to avoid making the mixture
so sloppy that it cannot be han
died conveniently in the field.
This quantity of poison bran mash
is sufficient to treat three acres of
tomato plants, and it should be dis
tributed around each hill the day
before the plants are set out, or
used around each plant the same
day they are set in the field.
In distributing this material, care
must be taken to not place it on the
tomato plants, as it may result in
burning them. The usual method
of applying this mixture is to drop
as much of it as the size of bullet
walnut around each hill or plant.
The cost of preparing this mash
is very nominal, and those tomato
who are having difficulty
with these cut worms should scat
ter some of this material in their
tomato fields before these worms
have the opportunity to destroy
heir plants.
