NATIVE HAWAIIAN TROUPE
COMING TO MILFORD

Noelani Lopes and her eight ma
tive Hawaiian musicians, singers
and dancers are coming to play for
commencing Monday, February 4th.
This is a special extra added attrac
ton, and Manager Evans, after hav-
ing looked up the reputation of
these native Hawaiians, is proud of
the fact that they are heralded as
the finest troupe of its kind on the
road. They will come to Milford i'll
their big twenty-passenger Mack
bus in which they tour the country.
The king of the steel guitar, Joe
Lopes himself, will be seen and
heard at each of the performances,
and it goes without saying that this
man who has broadcasted in many
of the prominent radio studios, will
meet with instant approval here in
this section, as he has always done
before. The three native Hawaiian
girl nautch dancers, in their routine
of romantic dances of the Islands,
will be much enjoyed by everyone.
Noelani Lopes herself, the song bird
of the Hawaiian Islands, will be
seen and heard to advantage. The
balance of the troupe are more than
adequate in their offerings. There
is picture shown in conjunction
with the act which takes you to
Hawaii and shows scenes in all the
eight islands of the group. The at
traction is heralded for Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week.

OUR FUTURE DAIRY FARMER

The future dairy farmer of Sus-
sex County will own a modern farm
home. He will be supported by a
herd of WE'LL bred dairy cattle
which will be fed largely from home
grown crops, raised on we'll titled
fertile soil. In short the Sussex
County dairyman will know how to
live better and will live up to the
best that he knows.
Our dairy farmer of today is pro-
gressive but in many cases he is
passively progressive. He knows
what to do but he does not always
do it, Our farmer of the future will
not allow one COW to eat up the pro-
fits other cows are making. He will
also only keep high producing and
profitable cows on his fertile farm.
At the present time the average
Sussex county COW produces only
$500 lbs. of milk per year. The
time will come when that will be
more than doubled. This, however,
will not result in overproduction,
because they will keep fewer ana
better cows. By doubling the aver
age pIOuuCllOu per COW IL is pOSSl-
BILE to triple the average income over
cost of feed. Thus the dairy farm
er will make more money.
The time is coming when Our
dairy farmers are going to have not
only good living and the advan-
tages of the open country, but also
many of the opportunities and con-
veniences that are now enjoyed by
the people of the cities.

The state health physicians in
New Castle and Sussex counties are
also examining the school children

been examined and some defect
found, the fact is communicated to
the parents of the children with the
suggestion that the family doctor be
called in to correct the defect. In
no instance does the State Board of
Health treat any one.
This work of examining school
children is considered important, be-
cause it has been found many times
that children who are supposed to
be slow and dull-witted are just as
intelligent as others, but are suffer-

hearing, faulty teeth, adenoids or
bad tonsils. When the correction has
