The Cardinal coach made no effort

"Jim Carney was a splendid de-
fensive player of the class satisfied
to let the other fellow get the glory
by scoring points while he did most
of the work. Carney seldom ad-
vanced beyond the center of the
floor and rarely Topped the ball for
the basket, but was a strong man
in our play, withal.
THE loss of Skater" O'Donnen
broke up a brilliant aggregation, as
Foley. Harvey, Long and Carney
were forced to play against five OPP
ponets during the last two years.
No other player on our team seemed
to fit in with these four and none
could take O'Donnell's place. OF
course, there was a fifth man on
the floor with, Foley, Harvey, Long
and Carney, but he was like one
cropping in the dark. Four against
five is an uneven contest, but they
managed to win games despite this
handicap"

HEALTHY CHICK CAMPAIGN
Under the Direction of Fl. S. Palmer,
Extension POultryman of University

Each of the four hundred poultry
the Office Of County Agent Russell E.
Wilson, last week, a copy of Instruc-
tion Letter No. 3, which was prepared
by H. S. Palmer, Extension Poultry
man of the University of Delaware,
under whose direction the Grow Heal
thy Chicks campaign is being conduct
el again this year on a statewide
basis. One Of the main points dis
cussed in this letter included the i'm
portance of providing perches for the
young chicks in order to get them up
out of the drafts, manure, and damp
ness of the floors, and to stop them
from crowding together at night and
becoming trampled and overheated.
The lighting of brooder houses at
night to prevent crowding, chilling,
and overheating among the chicks is
also an essential factor to be consider
ed by those poultrymen who are
equipped to use lights. Some poultry
raisers contend that lights have caus-
ed their chicks to eat too much, and
make such rapid growth that they are
more susceptible to diseases, but this
trouble is more likely to occur where
rather bright lights are used. The
activity of the chicks spreads upon
the amount Of light, for under very
bright lights, they will eat, drink, and
scratch and sleep about the same as
they do during the day. With dim

and forth to the feed and water, but
the majority of them will be found
spread out around the hover. In re
gard to the importance of clean
ground, the records obtained from a
large number Of farms last year show
ed that those poultry raisers who fol
lowed this practice had a lower chick
mortality rate than those who did not.
The easiest way to provide clean
ground and green food is to use NOV
able brooder houses, and to move them
yearly to a fresh field of alfalfa or
clover. Another item of interest to
every poultry farmer in the state is
the warning which has been issued BY
w. 7. Derickson, Director Of the Bu
reau Of Markets Of the State Board Of
Agriculture, in regard to the shipping
or extending Of credit, to unknown
buyers or dealers. Many poultryren
have lost money by selling their pro-
duce to unknown dealers, and this
word of caution Is for the protection
Of the poultry raisers against these
INSCRIPTIONS practices.

Christian Science Churches

"Doctrine Of Atonement" was the
subject Of the Lesson-Sermon in all
Churches Of Christ, Scientist on Sun
day, April 81. Golden Text: walk
in love, as Christ also hath loved and
hath given himself for US an offering
and a sacrifice to God for a sweet
smelling SAVIOUR" (Ephesians 5:2).
Among the citations which comprised
the Lesson-Sermon was the following
from the Bible: "And we have known
and believed the love that God hath
to US. God is live; and he that dwell
leth in love dwelleth in God, and God
in him" Il John 4:16l. The Lesson
Sermon also included the following
passages from the Christian Science
textbook, "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: "Atonement is the exemplifica-
ton of mans unity with God, where
by man reflects divine Truth, Life, and
Love. Jesus of Nazareth taught and
demonstrated mans oneness with the
Father, and for this We owe him end
less homage" (p. 1S).
Smyrna times., 1929-04-24

The Highway Commission this
spring is planting 5000 trees along the
highways. These comprise 5000 elm
trees, 1000 oriental plain trees and
about 100 weeping willows. In addi-
ton, wherever there are bridges with
guard rails. rambler roses are being
placed. Some that have been planted
for several years will bloom this year.
The bridge over the lake at the en-
trance to Dover and the guard rail
around the bend at Shady Turn, just
north Of Cheswold, will be rendered
more attractive this year because Of
the roses. Some of the trees planted
along the highway last year did not do
SO well and some died. These are be-
ing replaced with harder trees.
