Knotty Legal Point
for Court to Solue

In Budapest the courts are being
called upon to settle the question of
whether "Voronoff operation" per-
formed on the client of an insurance
company relieves the company of the
necessity to settle its liabilities toward
the client. An insurance company
granted an unusually advantageous
annuity to an elderly man. The COM
pany has learned that its client has
undergone the operation with ex-
tremely satisfactory results, and il
declares itself unwilling to continue
paying the annuity, as it's client has
artificially prolonged his life. The
man who underwent the operation
pleads that every man has a right to
prolong his life by any legitimate
means, and that had he attempted to
shorten it by any method, the insur-
ance company would have made no
remonstrance.

Airplanes All Right
but Not the Major!

An illustration of their sense of
humor was given in a note dropped
by the Germans on an American air
drome during the World war, after a
glaring error had been made by an
American major in command of an air
unit, relates Gen. William Mitchell,
commander of the American air forces
during the war, In statement taken
from his diary published in Liberty
Magazine.
"a certain major" wrote the gen.
eral, "whO was then in command of
one Of the air squadrons, flew over
into Germany with what ships he had
available for duty. He lost his way
in the fog and landed in Germany
with every ship intact. Not one ship
was burned or destroyed, and the Ger
mans captured the whole outfit. The
Germans sent back humorous mes
sage which was dropped on one of our
airdromes. 1t said: We thank you
for the fine airplanes and equipment
which you have sent us, but what
shall we do with the major?"

Neglect rather than use puts most
farm machinery in the junk pile.
Legumes are generally richer in pro-
tein and minerals than other rough
ages.
In very few locations is it profitable
to risk the chicks without windows of
some kind.
Soy beans and soy-bean hay are
high protein feeds, and are being
raised in many sections, especially by
dairymen.
1t is good practice to seed rape In
the cOrnfield at the time of the last
cultivation, perhaps two or three
pounds per acre seeded broadcast by
hand or with seeder.
Rape Sown at the rate of FIVE
pounds per acre will make a good hog
pasture. Oats and peas make good
hog pasture, but usually not so good
as rape.
Late Matched chickens will bring
very little money from the sale of eggs
next winter and they are always the
first ones to get any disease that may
be in the flock.

a year, each sow raising five or more
pigs per litter. The pigs should be
farrowed in February or March for
spring and August or September for
fall htters. The spring pigs should go
to market the following September or
october and the fall pigs during the
following March or April.
Good feeding and care will be re-
quired to send good pigs to market
weighing 200 pounds or more, as early
as September or April. 1t will pay,
however, since after October and
April the price may be expected to
decline.
For most profitable results, except
what Is desired for breeding stock,
hogs should be fulfilled from farrow-
ing until sent across the scales to
market.

Poultry Is Live Stock

There has been some doubt I'm the
official mind as to whether poultry is
included in the general laws affecting
live stock. The National Poultry con.
gress at Chicago recently, in order to
clear up this question, asked congi ess
to declare by law that live poultry is
live stock. This will remove all doubt
as to whether or not the poultry la.
dustry is entitled to the protection of
the regulations enacted by the United
States Department of Agriculture.

Influence of Milk on
Production of Eggs

To demonstrate how milk solids af-
feet egg production, DR.. Prince T.
Woods, in recent article in the
Waverly Four poultry magazines, sug-
gests this test: "When they are lay
ing freely, stop the milk entirely for
three days. The falling off in egg
yield following the stopping of milk
will be so abrupt that you will not
fail to notice it. Then begin again to
feed milk freely and note how prompt
ly the egg yield returns to the former
high level. With ample milk q
good egg yield, with no milk a greatly
reduced egg yield"

Right Breeding Stock
Is Important Factor

One of the first essentials of profit
able hog production is good hogs. The

MAY ExHUME BODY ]. COLLINS
Man Killed BY Truck Leaves Several
Hundred DOllars-Need Identification

Further information was revealed
yesterday concerning James Collins,
or John Collins, as he was known
among the apple pickers at the S. II.
| Derby farm near Woodside Collins
had worked there for several years
and was struck BY a truck two weeks
ago near the Derby farm as he was
going to the orchard after the noon
hour. He died a week ago last Satur-
DAY and was buried the latter part Of
last week in Holy Cross cemetery,
Dover. Shortly after Collins accident
it was reported that he had a sister
in Philadelphia, but all efforts to To-
cate her failed Captain Ray, Of the
State Police, however, learned that
one. Thomas Payne, of Philadelphia,
aged about 65 years, knew Collins,
and sufficiently we'll that he, Payne,
had Collins bank book with a bank
account Of several hundred dollars in
banking house in Philadelphia, and
also that Collins had left viii,
Payne being the beneficiary. Payne,
on being located, described Collins to
tie letter and has established, appar-
emily beyond doubt, his knowledge
and intimacy with him. To more
fully convince those making the in-
vestigation that he did know Collins,
he has agreed to come TO Dover on
| Thursday Of this week and if the body
can be exhumed for the purpose Of
Identification, will complete the iden-
tification and the further fact that he
and Collins, had ben friends for many

POST AMERICAN LEGION
Preparing to Make Note of Armistice
Day as Well as for Annual Supper

The annual Armistice Supper Of the
David G. Harrison Post, Na.14, Amer
lean Legion, Smyrna, will be given on
Thursday evening, November 8th, at
the Twentieth Century Club. Our
good friends, are earnestly solicited to
lend their support in making this sup
per a great success. In the past,
munity, has shown true and loyal
spirit in the giving Of their support
to all Legion projects, and we trust
this year will be no exception. The
war time spirit Of ten years ago has
completely disappeared from the rank
and file of the American Legion. In
its place however, has been founded a
greater and finer spirit Of service to
the town, state and nation, which will
carry on Indefinitely The American
Legion encourages and supports all
worthy movements for civic better
ment and offers to you the same feel
ing Of security in time Of peace, as
they did in time of war. Ten years
ago thousands of our Buddies willing
ly made the supreme sacrifice, in or
der that our great United States, as
nation, might live and prosper.
There was no thought in their minds
during this gigantic struggle, Of self;
this was never more true than it is
thought in mind; service, being their
now. The American Legion, Nation
al, State and locally, are given their
very best without a single selfish
main objective. Armistice Day is the
one day set aside by our National
Government to honor our departed
comrades, who faithfully served their
God and Country during the great
World War, and it is in celebration Of
this that the annual supper is held.

HOG CHOLERA STILL PREvALES

State Board of Agriculture Gives a
Warning To Owners Of Affected Hogs
Reports coming into the office Of the
Delaware State Board Of Agriculture
would indicate that quite q few hogs
are being lost. from cholera. The
State Board of Agriculture wishes to
impress upon the swine owners the
necessity of burying all dead animals
Immediately. They also believe that it
would be advisable for the owners Of
swine in vicinities where cholera is
prevalent to have their animals ino-
culated by their local veterinarians.
The state Law provides a penalty for
the leaving Of dead animals unburied.
