OUR CHILDREN By Angelo pa,ri

I do not want TO have made-up strip
served to the children unless some
trusted person in the community guar
antees it.
Failing the sweet drinks. why not
cool. clear spring water? There is
nothing in the world quite like it. Are
there enough drinking fountains in the
Fairgrounds so that thirsty children
may have all the clean drinking water
they need this Summer? There ought
to be- Has the school an adequate
supply OF drinking water with the bubble
fountains9 The school children need
a lot of drinking water in warm
weather.
The human BODY is composed largely
of water. and the warm days ask for
greater supply. The evaporation of
water from the body Is fast and steady
throughout the dav The children must
have enough spring water to replace
this loss. TO wash out the kidneys and
maintain good supply in the tissues
OF the body
Little babies are often crying for a
spoonful Of cool water when their
mothers are at their wits end to know
what ails them Remember to give the
baby his supply of drinking water a
little at a time and frequently during
hot weather.
Don't forget when you are renewing
the fountains for the children TO have
a tray low down to the ground where
the dogs and cats and birds can have
their drink. Water is the universal
drink--the best in the world.

New Modes Favor Petite Figure
BY MARY MARSHALL.

, most of it, Closely fitting sleeves that
cling very precisely about the wrists are
we'll chosen.
Just because she is made in small
mold. she should not feel that her
clothes may be loose and carelesSly fit-
ted. On the contrary, she should accen-
tuate her own fine proportions by wear
ing clothes that are very we'll fitted IN
deed Solid-colored materials are often
better for the little woman than figured
prints because the trim outlines OF her
arms. shoulders. waist and hips may be
better seen III this way. Loose. baggy
effects and sloppy outlines are as UNI
becoming to her as TO her overgrown,
overweight sister.
Many of the new fashions are decid-
edly favorable to the woman of petite
proportions. Any of the silhouettes that
suggest the 1880 period seem specially
designed for her Crisp bows and smart,
outstanding bows as general thing be-
come her better than the softly waving
sort of 'drapery that is better suited to
the girl of taller build.

APPLE GROWERS OF KENT LOOK
FOR BIG CROP AND PRICES
FEDERAL AND STATE INSPEC-
TION WILL INCREASE DEMAND
No Apples Left in Storage Also an
Aid - Already Brokers and Com
sion Men Seeking Information
sion

w. T. Derickson, Director of the
Bureau of Markets of the State Board
of Agriculture, reports that the pros
pect for early apples not only look
good, but the orchardists expect to
obtain fancy price for them because
there are no apples left in storage.
Realizing the benefit to be obtained
from Government inspected apples,
there have been more applications for
Federal inspection this year. Be
cause of the Delaware branding law
on covered carriers of apples, Mr.Der-
ickson has had more inquiries from
brokers and commission houses than
previous years. This is due to the
guarantee this law provides for all
covered packages of apples. Della
ware farmers, who go in for raising
asparagus, are just q bit concerned
about the outlook for this years crop,
early shipments of which began going
forward this week. With the acreage
believed to be about the same as last
year and with the greens looking
irst-class, the question in the Della
ware asparagus growers, now, is how
much South Carolina, Virginia, Mary
land and California asparagus is go
ing to cut into his profits. Asparagus
prices last week ranged from $3.50 to
ST a dozen punches. The top price
was gotten by the western product.
One of the biggest plots of asparagus
is located near MiddletoWn, where one
| hundred acres is coming into harvest.
Wheat is coming along fine and at
this time appears to be in as good con-
! dition as ever. Down in Sussex coun-
ty several large wheat growers are
