RIPE TOMATOES USED
In ANNUAL CLASS FIGHT
Help University Freshmen To ROut
SOphOmOres At Newark.

University of Delaware freshmen
by superior numbers and the free
use of over-ripe tomatoes, routed the
sophomores for a time in the annual
opening night of college clash at
Newark Monday night.
The freshmen evidently had been
collecting tomatoes most of the af-
ternoon and when the clash started
they used them freely in pelting the
'sophs," who were compelled to re-
treat. Crushed tomatoes Uttered Sec
tions of the campus and some streets,
but no serious damage was done.
Because of the fact that they are
usually better organized the sopho-
mores generally get the best of the
first-year boys in the opening clash,
but last night for at least a time,
was an exception. Charles Hartman,
of Wilmington, led the "freshies," :"
and they had apparently been fairly
well organized. A large group of
townpeople and upper-classmen wit
messed the battle which took place
late in the evening.
After the tomato fight there were
several organized contests and the
freshmen had a shade the best OF
these also. In the tug-of-war the
"freshies" had Morris Katz, ESQ
pound Wilmington boy, as anchor
man and won the event. The sopho-
mores won the "suh" contest with
20 men on each side and the fresh
les" won the -four fight.

THIEVES ENTER LOCAL
GARAGES, MAKE HAUL
Quantity OF Clothing And Auto Ac-
cessOrieS Taken From Motor Co.

Thieves, who left behind them
slight clues as to their identity, en-
tered the showroom and garage of
the Atkins Motor Company and the
Milford Motor Company Tuesday
night. From the latter place mer-
chandise to the value of approximate
ly $500 yas taken. 1t is believed
that the providers broke into the At
kins place first, for the parts room
and the garage had been ransacked.
Only small items were missing. At
the garage of the Milford Motor
Company a garage, belonging to
clothing statesmen in which the sam
pies had been left over night, was
entered and the sample cases open
ed. Several overcoats and suits of
clothing were taken to the value of
approximately 5000. A double bar
relied shotgun belinging to Herman
Arno, one of the firm, was also TAX
en-. At tire, tube and automobile
rim was also missing as were other
accessories. The cash register had
been opened but no money had been
left in it. No attempt was made to
tamper with the safe. An overcoat
belonging to Earl Atkins, proprietor
of the Atkins Garage was found in
the Milford Motor Company's place.
State Highway Policemen Ingram
and Purnell took up the trail of the
thieves on Wednesday morning. En-
trance to the Milford Garage was
gained by forcing a rear door.

LIFT BEETLE BAN
ON FARM PRODUCTS
Flowers Not Covered By Order Ef-
fectiVe This Week.

Delaware Japanese beetle officials
were notified on Wednesday concern
ing the lifting of the restrictions on
the moving of farm products. The
order was issued in Camden and was
signed by c. H. Hadley, in charge Of
preventing the spread of Japanese
and Asiatic beetles. The order fol-
lows
"On and after September 25, the
restrictions on the movement of
farm products only, not including
cut flowers, listed in regulation of
notice of quarantine on account of
the Japanese beetle No. 48 18th re-
vision), are lifted until June Is, 1880,
and such farm products are permit
ted unrestricted movement from the
regulated area to points outside
thereof, no certificate being neces-
sary for such shipments.
1.-THE lifting of the quarantine on
farm products only for the present
season does not affect the quarantine
on cut flowers, which will remain in
effect until October Is, 1929. Neither
does the removal of the restriction
on farm products affect the quaran-
tine on the movement of all nursery,
ornamental and greenhouse stock,
sand, soil, earth, peat, compost and
manure, the regulations covering
these articles still being effective
and in force throughout the year,
and certificates being required for all
shipments of these articles"

DELAWARE PUPILS

Against tuberculosis.

Although the schools of Delaware
have been open but three weeks, the
enrolment in the Modern Health
Crusade is much heavier this year
than ever before. Up to this week
nearly two thousand children in fifty
three schools, under sixty three in
structors, have enrolled for health
chores, the object of which is to pro-
mote health and fight tuberculosis.
Much of the enthusiasm it is be-
l1eved, in the crusade is due to the
visits. of Miss Helen H. Thomson,
executive secretary of the Delaware
Anti-Tuberculosis Society, which is
sponsoring this health work, and
her assistant, Mrs. Florence ].

TOM FLEMING BACK
In GEORGETOWN JAIL
Man Who Attacked Magistrate Hem
drixsOn Here Again Behind Bars

Thomas Fleming, of Wilmington,
who on August % tried to escape
from the Sussex County Jail and fell
from the eighteen-foot brick wall to
the pavement, breaking both legs,
was taken back to prison Saturday
morning by Sheriff Bud Coy from the
Beebe Hospital. While his condition
is greatly improved, hospital author
tiles refused to keep him longer be-
cause of his unruly ways. 1t is un-
derstood that, Notwithstanding his
condition, he attempted to get away
from the hospital.
Fleming was arrested on August
20, at Lincoln, complaint having
been made against him before Mag
istrate Edward V. Hendrixson, of
Milford, by Mrs. Marie Shew of Lin
coin, who alleged that he had mo-
Tested her. He was taken before
Magistrate Hendrixson. A fine of $40
and costs was imposed on Fleming,
and being unable to pay the amount
he was committed to the Sussex
County Jail for ten days. Just as
Magistrate Hendrixson was reaching
into one of the desk drawers to OBJ
tain a commitment, Fleming struck
him but his blow fell short. He was
stopped by the officer who had him
in charge, although the glasses of
Magistrate Hendrixson were broken
and he received cut on the nose.
On August 21 charge of assault
and battery was brought against him
before Magistrate William ]. Mus
tard of Georgetown, who held him in
$1,000 bail for the October term of
court. Two days later, August %, he
managed to climb to the top of the
Jail wall and jumped eighteen feet
to the concrete sidewalk. Fleming
claimed at the time that he fell from
the top of the wall. Fleming's trial
will be heard probably during the
week of October z.

BUILDING LARGE
FEED WAREHOUSE
Simpson Brothers Erecting Brick
Structure In South Milford

The poultry and feed demand
seems always to be just few jumps
ahead of the dealers who make a
speciality of the very latest formu-
las and needs of those who are en-
gagged in raising poultry.
Several large dealers have locat-
ed in and about Milford, both their
mills and their warehouses, where
the various feeds are handled in
quantity. Of these the Simpson Bro
theirs, George and Thomas Simpson,
are now erecting a brick warehouse,
fifty feet wide by one hundred feet
long, which is located directly along
the railroad at the south side of Mil
ford, and has switch trackage along
the railroad side for ten cars.
These young men started the bus
mess in a moderate way in an old
store building of South Milford, and
from it, they enlarged by taking title
to the old public school building, on
East Second street, where they rap
idly absorbed the surrounding
grounds for their business.
The hauling and handling of feeds
in large quantities, soon proved that
it would be economy to build large
warehouse along the railroad, to
load direct into the trucks and wag-
ons of their customers, and also to
unload by trucks from the cars
bringing in the many kinds of feed
used in the poultry business.
The warehouse is located at the
extreme end of Washington street,
South Milford, is fireproof and is
convenient for customers to inspect
as well as handle the wares offered
them.
This is the second large ware
house built this year for the exclu-
sive use of dealers in food for poul-
try, and these are in addition to the
mills and local dealers in the centre
of the business part of Milford.

CHURCH OBSERVES
214TH BIRTHDAY
Rev. Lewis Seymour Nudge
breaches In Old Presbyterian
Edifice At Dover.

Dover Presbyterians last Sunday
celebrated the 214th anniversary oi
the founding of the old church al
Dover which is only used for regu-
lar services once year. The church
was filled at the service and a num-
Der of persons of other denomina-
tions attended.
The services were in charge of the
Rev. G. A. Burslam, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Dover, and
the sermon was preached by the Rev.
Lewis Seymour Nudge, of Philadel-
phia, Stated Clerk of the Presby-
terian General Assembly.
DR.. Nudge gave brief history of
the Presbyterian Church in this
country and spoke briefly of the
early history of the church at Dover.
He then preached an interesting SER
mon on the subject: Making the
Church Sanctuary" The speaker
declared that not stones, bricks and
wood make sanctuary, but there
must be living stones of worship and
service. He declared the stones
needed were goodness, beauty and
truth. Better people, he declared,
will make a better world. Beauty
added to goodness adds to the i'm
provement of the world, but the
greatest stone of all is truth.
The Christian, he declared, must
live the truth in his everyday life.
Mrs. Frank H. Danner sang a solo
and choir organized for the occa-
sion gave the remainder of the
program.

BLUE RIDGE RAMBLERS'
70 ENTERTAIN HERE
Troupe Will Give Novelty Program
OF Folk Music At Plaza

A distinct novelty in the way OF
stage attraction is promised patrons
of the Plaza Theatre tonight and Sat
urday night. This is the appearance
of the Blue Ridge Ramblers.
Dramatizing the lives and habits
of the primitive mountain folk of the
Blue Ridge has long been a favorite
subject with American novelists, but
rarely is the public given an oppor-
tunity to see them in person and OBJ
serve their unique customs at close
range.
The Blue Ridge Ramblers consists
of nine young men, who have won
wide recognition by reason of their
programs broadcasted, from import
ed stations from all parts of the
country, especially in the rendition
of old mountaineer melodies which
have never been written in manu-
scripts, but handed down from gem
Grafton to generation. This part of
their program should be of special
interest to those appreciating new
and unusual entertainment.

fiddler of the country, with Harry

1t is a happy combination of old
and new mountain music. In addi-
ton to their radio engagements, the
Blue Ridge Ramblers have played
successful vaudeville engagements at
leading theatres, both east and west.
They come to Milford direct from a
western tour. They are also known
as recording artists, having recorded
successfully a good many records.
It is expected that this popular
group of performers will meet with
a big reception at the Plaza Theatre.

GOVERNOR APPOINTS
COMMITTEE TO STUDY
NEEDS OF CAPITOL
New Commission Will Make Rec
concentrations To Next General
Assembly.
MUST HAVE MORE ROOM
Crowded Condition Of Present
Structure Makes New Building
Or RemOdeliDg Necessary.

In the hope of having some def
mite information upon which the
General Assembly may plan for the
enlargement of the State House.
Governor c. Douglass Buck has nam
ed committee whose duty it will be
to consider and make recommenda-
tions concerning this project.
While the General Assembly failed
to make any arrangements for a
State House Commission, Governor
Buck has obtained the consent of
some citizens to carry on, so that
when the General Assembly meets
two years from now, there will be
very definite and carefully studied
plan and possibly alternate plans for
enlarging the capitol. The commit
tee is composed of the following:
Judge w. w. Harrington, Mrs. Henry
Ridgely, H. Rodney Sharp, Colonel
Harry L. Cannon.
Last winter when the question of
enlarging the State House arose,
committee of three members each
from the Senate and House were
named to meet with the Mayor of
Dover and Secretary of State to con-
slider plans. 1t was suggested that the
alley or road between the StSte
House and the old county building be
closed, the Kent county Jail in the
rear of the old county building ac-
quired and that another wing to the
State House be erected on the site.
The Mayor of Dover was to obtain
the consent of the members of Do
yer City Council to the acquisition of
the alley, with the understanding
that the Secretary of State was to
obtain if possible, the promise of the
highway commission to construct a
permanent road connecting Court
street with North street. This latter
was agreed to, but the
Mayor of Dover reported that he
could not obtain the consent of City
Council to close the alley, resulted in
the matter becoming deadlocked.
The committee ceased consulting
the Secretary of State and finally

MILFORD CHORUS TO
ORGANIZE TONIGHT
Plans For This Year Will Be Dis
cussed This Evening In The
Community Building.

All members of the Milford Com
munity Chorus will meet at the Com
munity Building this Friday evening,
September q at $3.50 o'clock. The OBJ
ject of this meeting is to organize
and make plans for a bigger and bet
ter chorus under the direction of
Mrs. Annabel Groves Howell, who
conducted the chorus so efficiently
last year. Mrs. Howell must know
at very early date whether or not
Milford shall need her services. Her
schedule is rapidly filling, hence
Milford must get busy with their
plans.
The chorus invites all men and
women who sing to join. 1t now has
members from out of town and well
come any others who care to come.
There is no reason why this Choir
us cannot be made musical organ
ization of which Milford can be Just
ly proud. There is sufficient talent
here and in the surrounding towns
to do some really big things and at
the same time it will make possible
for each member, instruction of the
highest type, as well as the enter
tainment we need. Mrs. Howell
needs no further praise for her ex-
cellent work last year has proven
her ability and training to be the
best we could get.
Do come Friday evening and do
your part to make this huge sue
cess. Choirs will rehearse early to
be able to attend the meeting.
