entertainment consisting of four diff
ferent plays, viz: 'Henpecked Hol-
Ter Gossip" Between Trains" "
"Coon Creek Courtship" and Betty

time to make up your mind, which
Office you will accept.
The Epworth League social met
with Rev. and Mrs. John Diehl at
the M. E parsonage on Monday ev-
ening, December 9. We are sure the
Reverend and Mrs. Diehl were glad
to see their friends as they came
with their hands full of many good
things which they presented to the
pastor and his wife, which will help
in a measure to keep his larder re-
plenished for some time to come.
The primary department Of the
Ellendale Church school seems to go
forward at all times. 1t is wonder
what the small children under the
sunervision of Miss Coverdale and
Miss Lynch can do. Look out for the
little tots for you will hear from
them when the entertainment to be
held during the Yuletide season
rolls around.

! rested until the last drop was
drained from the tank.
What is the world coming to when
such things go unpunished? Where
are all the detectives, policemen
and other officers who seem to al
low this band of robbers to apply
their trade without fear or hind
rance?
1t would be grand thing that all
who engage in this despicable husi-
ness could be caught and upon con-
viction, introduce them to the whip
ping post for few lashes on their
backs.
1t would not stop all who engage
in this work, but it would have a
tendency to stop others who may
think of entering into a business
forbidden by the laws of the State
of Delaware.
Dismantling Tank
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany have workmen here dismant-
ling the old water tank, and will re-
move and rebuild it at Berlin, Md 8.
This tank was located here when
the Pennsylvania Railroad first took
charge of the Junction and Break
water Railroad.
The people at that time protested
against locating the plant in the
center of the town, but officials in
charge would not have it at any
other place. So it has remained un-
til the present time.
If the officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will clean up
around the depot and keep piling
and ties from being piled in the
heart of the town they will certain
ly do the people of Glendale IA
vor and will in a great measure
help to beautify the town.
Much Money to Be Spent
Governor Buck has informed Pres
ident Hoover that there will be
spent in Delaware during the year
1880 eight million dollars for school
purposes and roads, and etc.
This is'a large pile of money and
should go far in giving to labor
which may be unemployed, work for
some time to come.
wares Rejection
The refusal of the United States
Senate to seat w. S. Ware of Penn
sylvania, is credit to that body.
The way politics have been con-
Quoted in Pennsylvania of late years
has been a stencil in the nostrils of
decent people.
Those who aspire to seat in the
United States Senate will have to
come with clean hands or they will
be refused admittance.
This should be warning to those
who will endeavor to secure a seat
in the Senate in any other way ex-
cept in a lawful manner and not by
the free use of money.

R. J. Clendaniel, a prominent
wholesale dealer in piling and mine
props, seems to be very busy at the
present time. Mr.. Clcndaniel owns
large tracts of timber situated in
different parts of Sussex county and
his employees are kept busy look

will take up and discuss in a very

Levy Court

Levy Court
The Levy Court of Sussex County
has within its power that which
would be of great benefit to taxpay-
ers in general way. If they would
stop for moment and consider the
present condition of the farming in
terests of Sussex County and the
struggles they are having to keep on
top, they would abolish many things
now existing and not devote their
time in trying to keep their politi-
cal fences in repair.
To do this necessitates doing away
with many things which are of an
unsavory nature and will not bear
the light of day.
The present Levy Court Commits
sioners are men of wide experience
and are competent in every way to
give to the people of Sussex County
an administration which they would
be proud Of.
The recent report of the Grand
Jury in reference to the 1a1l and
almshouse does not speak well for
the present commissioners, who like
their predecessors did nothing to
remedy the existing evil, but let
things 90 on until it has become
stencil in the nostrils Of the people
interested.
Sussex County needs a new pris-
on and it should be erected on the
almshouse farm, which is close
enough to Georgetown to meet all
Just demands, which would be made
on such an institution.
1t is all bosh to consider for
moment the inconvenience of the
sheriff, the transportation Of the
prisoners, and the trouble the law
yers would have in conversing with
the inmates of such a place of con-
finement.
In the first place the sheriff would
perhaps have nothing to DO with the
prisoners. They would perhaps be-
nut under a different management.
Since the insane have been trans
ferred from the almshouse to Farm
hurst and feeble-minded to Stockley,
leaving only few of the old and
feeble for the overseer to look after,
NOW WOulu II uO W man. OhO 49,
seer to look after both institutions,
with one assistant, he could co this
very well and save the county quite
some expense.
AS only short term prisoners are
sunposed to be incarcerated in the
iai1 when erected it should not cost
so much to build it. The sum of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
as has been suggested would seem
to be an amount sufficient to build
two tails like the needs of the coun-
ty would demand. Of course if long
term prisoners are to be confined
then It will cost more, but there
should be a provision enacted by the
legislature that all prisoners who
are able should work on the farm.
This would save expense Of hiring
help and would make the farm
paying investment.
Now in regard to the transporta-
ton of prisoners from the farm TO
Georgetown and the lawyers being
inconvenienced in seeing those VINO
NAV be incarcerated there, we would
cali the attention of those interest
ed to the fact that the Workhouse at
Greenville is more than twice the
distance the institution would be
from Georgetown, if built on the
almshouse farm.
The lawyers of Wilmington who
number perhaps ten to one more
Milford chronicle., 1929-12-13

than the lawyers of Georgetown,
seem to find a way to converse with
the prisoners confined in the Work
house and so can the lawyers of
Georgetown, if they wish to, hold
communication with the prisoners
which would be confined in such an
institution when erected.
1t has taken the several Levy
Courts of Sussex County, including
the present one, fourteen years to
find out that in the year 1915 an act
was passed by the legislature giving
to the Levy Court of Sussex County
a right to erect a penal institution
at the almshOuse farm, but neglect
ed to add provision empowering
the Levy Court to bond the county
or raise funds in some other way
for building purposes. This does not
speak well for those who are sup
posed to have the welfare of the
county at heart. Then the Commits
sioners go on to say that if they
raise the taxes so as to enable them
to build Jail, then the people will
set up a howl, and they would have
right to, for the taxables we'll
know that there is enough money
being wasted in Sussex county to
build a suitable Jail without in
creasing the present taxes one cent.
How much richer would Sussex
County be If the public roads of the
State would be transferred to the
Highway Department, getting clear
of the overseers, as now appointed,
and how much richer would it be if
the several of the departments
which are situated in the court
house at Georgetown be put under
one head, and the mass of employ
ees cut down to actual needs? How
long would it take for the Commits
sioners to save enough money to
build a Jail without increasing tax
alton whatever?
We believe the present Levy
Court Commissioners are a broad
minded set of men, and it should be
their duty to put before the next
legislature bills that will cover the
defects now existing and will re-
store to the citizens of Sussex coun-
ty all that the present system now
takes from them. Let the good work
go on.
Crime Wave
A wave of crime seems to be
spreading over the United States
and Delaware for a small State has
more than its share.
People seem to be engaged in this
nefarious business that a few years
ago we would not think they would
be guilty of such contemplate work.
Only last week Dias Spicer, one Of
our prominent farmers, had stolen
all the potatoes he had. He had bur-
led them near the woods so as to
protect them from the winter wea-
ther. Some miscreant found them
and during the sleet of last week,
took them all, leaving not a single
potato for the use of the farmer
during the winter months.
Another was a Milton poultry
raiser who had to go to Milton on an
errand. While gone, some thief en-
tered his home and took away nine
crates of his best eggs and leaving
the Gull eggs untouched.
A gentleman who was down near
Gumboro a few days ago reports
that an oil and gas truck which had
overturned on the highway leading
from Millsboro to Loves Cross
Roads had the contents Of the tank
stolen while the driver was away
seeking help. It was reported that
men who owned handsome cars
were there on the scene. Some had
buckets and some basins and never

 SECRETARY HYDE

WASHINGTON, Nov, 26, (R- Representatives of national agri- cultural organizations pledged their support to President Hoover's stabilization program and in turn demanded that farmers receive a lower interest rate from the gov ernment credit agencies
 The matter of interest rates took up two hours of plain talk ing among leaders of the National Grange farmers, the Union Amer ican Farm Bureau, the Fedora tion of Farmers and the Equity Union, and with Hoover.
 They voiced satisfaction with the outcome but whether or not they won their point was left open.
 Tn the statement issued from the White House Secretary Hyde said They felt concerted action by the credit agencies of the gov- |ernment was now possible and that such action would reflect back to agriculture the lower in terest rate which followed the stock market prices break.
