MRS. BREED TO ENTERTAIN
AT NEW CENTURY CLUB

Roselth Knapp Breed is without a
peer in her line Of work. She is a
remarkable impersonator of humor-
GUS characters, with an unusual
understanding of human nature. She
does not exaggerate to get her eff
fects; she makes folks live, and the
audience does not laugh at them, but
with them.
While Mrs. Breed aims to amuse
and "chase dull care away" there is
always at least one number on her
program that grips the heart.
She has appeared on the Chautau-
qua and Lyceum platforms from the
Atlantic to the Pacific with many
noted lecturers; among them are
Chief Justice William Howard Taft,
William Jennings Bryan and Irwin
Cobb and Mark Sullivan.
Mrs. Breed will entertain for the
benegt of the Milford New Century
Club in their club room on Monday

only a matter of personal opinion,
and since it was merely incidental
to the main subject of my remarks,
it has been given in some quarters a
great deal more Importance than it
deserves. BeBcause opinions of this
kind are not susceptible to mathe-
NAUTICAL proof, and are subject to
many possible notifications before
they receive the stamp of finality,
and because in my Smyrna address 1
had neither the time nor occasion
to state the possible notifications of
this opinion, much prefer to with
draw it entirely rather than allow it
to reflect unjustly on anyone, or to
divert attention from the study and
consideration of specific proposals
for the improvement of our State
government.
'My analysis of the States expen-
ditures was based simply on set of
figures that compared only relative
costs of government in Delaware and

BOOM DEPUTYS FOR
CONGRESSMAN JOB
(Continued from Page II

Fights for and against bills were
often led by the Deputys. While the
best of feeling has always existed
between them, it was no barrier for
one taking issue with the other on
bill.
Despite the fact that they are
Democrats, their Republican friends
are not limited. Even in the Legis-
lature, both were well liked by their
colleagues ION the other side of the
house." While they often engaged in
heated arguments with the Republic
cans over seemingly partisan bills
or measures they believed unjust,
there was always good feeling be-
tween both sides of the Senate.
So, if present indications mate
rialize, it is likely that the Democrats
will offer a Deputy to the voters Of
the State as their candidate for Con-
gress. With the Congressional nomi-
nation going to Sussex, the appor-
tionment would be balanced, as the
Senatorial nomination will go to this
end of the State.
Senator Willard Deputy on Thurs
day told a representative of the
Chronicle that he would not accept
the nomination if it was offered to
him.

1t is seldom that a home is large
enough to make a large party a sue
cess without the feeling of being
crowded, but the one given by Mrs.
Samuel G. Evans and Miss Bess
Emerson on Tuesday evening was a
large one and every one had good
time. There were twenty-one tables
and the large rooms of Mrs. Evans
home were just the place to put them.
Guests from out of town were many
which made it very pleasant for all.
LOVELY baskets of chrysanthemums
Milford chronicle., 1929-11-15

On FRIDAY evening the party LnaC
had been talked so much about and
planned for actually happened, and
such a good time as every one had!
The party, of course, was that of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Mulholland, in the
Varney Auditorium of the Commun-
ity Building. From the time of the
arrival of the first guests until the
last goodnight was said, the fun was
on. The auditorium had been trans
formed into an ideal setting for a
masquerade party. Long lines of
fine streamers were evenly drawn
the width of the room. The lights
had been shaded with personalities
such as pirates, witches and all the
other "spooks". Corn and autumn
leaves added to the decorations. A
platform had been fixed for an or
chestra. The guests began to arrive
a little before $3.50. First few at a
time and then in groups until there
were a hundred and seventeen in
costume. Everyone guessed the
identity of every one else and in
many cases were proven poor guess
ers. After dancing short time the
guests were asked to unmask which
they did with will for the evening
was warm and masks add nothing to
the GOODNESS of a persons comfort.
This revealed the host and hostess
attired in especially becoming Span
ish costumes. Their gracious man
ner made everyone very much at
home and ready for all the fun they
had planned. The costumes were all
good; some beautiful, some less so,
some original, some so comical, that
one could still laugh at them after
the evening was over. Prizes were
awarded by the judges, I. D. Short,
James K. Pettyjohn, and William G.
Smith to Mrs. Charles Banning, Mrs.
Willard Pierce, Horace G. Thorpes
and Charles E. Varney, for their cos
tunes. The music deserves special
mention for it was splendid and the
dancing was poppy as a result. AL
Hersch, of Philadelphia, and his i've
piece orchestra added much to the
enjoyment of those who danced and
of those who looked on. Whistles,
horns, balloons and serpentine pa
pers were there in abundance and
everyone played his favorite trick
with them. A balloon dance afforded
much fun and the prize went to Mrs.
Harry Pettyjohn for having a good
one after the dance was over. Buff
fet refreshments were enjoyed all
during the evening. Those from out
of town were Mr.. and Mrs. William
Ayers of Millsboro, DR.. and Mrs.
Joseph NAPLES of Georgetown, Mrs.
Albert Hersch of Philadelphia, and
Mrs. Clifford MacMunn of Atlantic
City. Each one in their own particu-
lar way, in bidding Mr.. and Mrs.
goodnight, expressed
their thanks for the evening of I'M
usual good fun.

Autumn Activities

were arranged around the rooms and
late roses also added to the attrac-
tiveness of them. The glow of the
lights on the many colors of the
gowns worn by the guests was beau
tiful, and everyone being in a happy
mood made the party very enjoy
able one. Those from out of town

It. hardly seems possible that IL
years have passed since that mem
orable day when the message came
to a waiting world that the World
War was ended. Does every one re-
member how Milford, so eager TO
have a peace, celebrated two days
before Armistice was an actual fact?
How every one declared holiday
and whistles and horns dinned the
ears of every one as they passed in
an impromptu parade? Events hap
pen and are forgotten with the years
as they mount up, but as long as
there is one person who has the
faintest recollection of that terrible
waste of souls and materials, Novem-
Der IL must be day OF real cele-
bration.

The Pickens Lions Club will sponsor

Tuesday, May 7, to discuss plans for the
organization of local troop. The boys
of scout age are looking forward to this
date and are anxious to get started in

Another interesting phase of future
plans was adopted by the club when it
was decided to invite all high school
and grammar school graduats with their
parents and teachers to meet with them
at their weekly luncheon hour on June
4.
The Pickens Lions are working on
plans to properly house and care for the

New Feed Mill Offers
Real Farm Relief In
Marketing Feed Crops

One of the greatest things that has
happened towards genuine farm relief
in Holmes county, is the establishment
of feed mill in Lexington by George
S. Beall, Jr., of this city.
1t is his desire to make the establish
ment a feed service as we'll as a feed
exchange for every dairyman and farm
er of this section, no matter whether
large or small operators, and with the
assurance of an 1870 dairy feed made
fresh and delivered Immediately upon
the furnishing of home grown ingred-
tents of corn stalks, lespedeza hay, cot
ton seed meal that has been treated
with black strap molasses, there is no
need for any farmer in this section to
raise the cry, "my feed is out"
Mr.. Beall has advertised that if you
will furnish 1,100 pounds of corn, stalk
and all, with 400 pounds of lespedeza
he will furnish 200 pounds of black
strap molasses and 800 pounds of cot
ton seed meal, and deliver this 1897
Idair. feed at the rate of $12.40 per tor
cost to the farmer, by mixing the two
And to further add to the fine idea, if
you haven't the cash, he will accept the
same value in feedstuff from the farm
er.
Another splendid contribution to this
situation is that a steady year round
market is now furnished all farmers for
their surplus crops of corn, oats, sorgh-
UNI, soybeans, hay, in fact anything that
is used in making feed. You can now
plant crop assured of the fact that
you will be able to sell all feed you
care to raise above your own needs, but
according to past records of Holmes
county, a feed bill of nearly $2OO,0 90
can now be wiped out with home grown
products and this money kept at home
for home folks. This one feature alone
will prove one of the greatest progress
sive steps made for the local farmers
and dairymen in many years. The local
feed mill is visible help, it is great
boon to the farmers of all kinds, it will
fill need that has long been wanted,
and the local farmers can make it one of
the biggest things in Holmes county for
their own good.
You'll find it in the Classified Column.
