Instead of the usual procedure of
baking the pies, cakes, rolls, ETC.,
and placing them on display for sale,
the girls solicited orders from the
patrons and delivered direct to them.
There was such a demand for the
various things, especially rolls, that
they did not get to visit all the
homes. They, however, want to give
their most sincere thanks to those
whose homes they visited and whose
orders they took, and hope every
thing delivered was satisfactory.
Also, if any ones order was slight
ed, they can only apologize and say
that some of the girls living in the
country were unable to get in. To
those whose orders were delivered
on Friday they again say that the
girls in the country had to bring
them on Friday; as they had no
suitable place to keep them in the
laboratory. They though it best to
deliver things to you on Friday
while they were fresh. Once more
they wish to thank all who helped
to make this "bake" a success.
The net proceeds which amounted
to $500 will be used to purchase
dishes for their department.

early setting of plants in the open
field, and the yielding qualities of
the Marglobe and Greater Baltimore
varieties for commercial canning
purposes.

county made is possible for the local
canning factory to start packing at
least two weeks earlier this year
than would have been the case if
all of the tomatoes in that particu-
lar area had been of the late varie-
ties. The Marglobe is not only a
valuable variety from the standpoint
of earliness, but it is a most desir-
able one for canning as the fruit is
of the highest quality and processes
well in the cans. When properly fer
tilted this variety also produces a
good yield, which in most instances
is greater per acre than any of the
other commercial varieties that are
being grown in this part of the coun-
try. These are important factors in
the economic production of toma-
toes and should be considered if the
crop is to be placed on more profit

the grower.

then he moved on. He placed the match
against Bruce Norton's fag. Finally he held
the flame against his own cigarette, blew 1t
out, stared at 1t thoughtfully.

The detective shrugged; mot altogether con-

The bad luck, Tsen Lee, is for the last one

Then you win graciously allow me to thwart

is thus in China that We turn bad luck aside
when 1t comes too near"
He fumbled with the clutter Of documents on
his desk and drew forth incense Norton,s hand
pressed slightly against the long bulge of a
gun strapped from his shoulder.
But Tsen Lee merely pulled out three of the
pungent-smelling sticks, pressed them against
the tip Of his cigarette, and blew them into

placed them upright In the brass container that

Bruce Norton could only look ct BENJAMIN

his lips could not utter.
The detective nodded shortly
That's best for everybody" He dared not

Tsen touched the gong beside him ON the
table. And, although the sound seemed to fall
back from the walls, 1t was evidently heard
without, for the door opened silently and a
servant appeared.
Usher spoke to him In Chinese:

LEVY COURT HEARS
REQUESTS FOR ROADS
DagsbOrO Delegation Wants Stag
Road In Piney Neck District

The Levy Court heard applications
for roads at its weekly meeting at
Georgetown on Tuesday.
A delegation from Dagsboro ap-
peared before the Court relative to
the building of three miles of Stag
road in Piney Neck, Dagsboro hun
dred. The Levy Court gave an es-
innate of the approximate cost of
unloading and hauling of the Stag,
which was $1350.00. This money is
being raised by the delegation and
the county will do the work when
they succeed in getting this amount.
According to reports, they have done
very well and have already reached
the figures submitted by the Levy
Court.
The prothonotary was given au-
thority by the Court to have printed
ten thousand judgment blanks for
the Prothonotary's office.
The Levy Court also received an
application for a Stag road from
frankfort to Roxana, in the seventh
district. The Levy Court was asked
to do something to road in Indian
River hundred, leading from Har-
mony Church to IRA Stevenson's.
This road is called the John Lingo
Road. 1t will be attended to.
Following adjournment the Court
inspected roads in the second dis
trict in the afternoon, after which 1t

SAYS HIGHWAYS Are
MARRIED BY REFUSE
Chief Engineer Mack Asks Public
To Be More Careful Ia Dis
posing OF Rubbish.

Chief Engineer of State Highways
w. w. Mack has addressed letter
to the newspapers of the State in
which he calls attention to the prac-
tice of dumping refuse on the high
way right of way in many parts of
the State. Mr.. Mack points out that
at considerable expense the main
tenance men collect large quantities
of litter each month which has been
carelessly thrown or allowed to blow
upon the highways. Much of the
dirt he believes is unnecessary.
A greater offense, however, is the
practice, which seems to have
grown up in some communities, of
loading all kinds of refuse and rub
bish, trucking it short distance
from town; and, when no one is
looking, dumping it on the right of
way or the adjoining property. Usu-
ally this dumping is done near
woodland, or some other place of
natural beauty, and an otherwise
attractive spot is made repulsive and
unsightly. In at least one instance,
town is known to have thus dis
posed of the refuse of it's street
cleaning operations.
Mr.. Mack urges those having re-
fuse carted away to insist that it be
dumped at public dump or out of
sight of the public highway.

SUSSEX POULTRYMEN
WILL RAISE TURKEYS
Land In Lower Delaware Is Well
Adapted For Industry

Believing that turkeys can be
grown throughout lower Delaware
on a sufficient scale to bring thous-
ands of dollars annually to the far
mers, some of the poultrymen this
year are turning their attention to
this phase of the industry.
The land in Sussex county is well
adapted to growing them. In fact,
it is better suited than several OF
the localities on the peninsula
where they are being produced on a
large scale each year.
With it's extensive hatcher1es 10
Gated in all sections of the county,
there is going to be little trouble in
Matching them by the thousands
The only drawback at this time, it
is stated, is the limited supply OF
eggs for Matching. Already one man
in the southern part of the county is
planning to raise several hundred
this year with the idea in view OF
having an extensive turkey farm
within the next five years. The
Wyndmere Farms, owned by Joseph
B. Baker, of Olney, Pa, and tenant
ed by John Geyer, on the George
town-Lewes highway, will this year
start in the business, and probably
will produce 500 as breeders.
Upon being interviewed, one OF the
largest hatcherymen on the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula stated that his
plant could handle thousands OF
eggs each year and hatch them for
those desiring to go into the busl-
ness. but the drawback at this time
is an available supply of eggs. In
years past, this hatcheryman has
grown large numbers. He states that
with proper care there is no reason
why they cannot be as successfully
grown as chickens. He is contem-
plating entering into the business
extensively within the next few
months, as soon as he gets proper
housing equipment.
