MEMORIES OF MILFORD

JimtOWn and Dollar Hill
"They never worked and thew never
will"
Was said of the people on Dollar
Hill;
"A yard full of wash and a f1ea.bit
hound"
And you had a picture of Jimtown
Just how they managed to get red
meat,
Or from whence the shoes that COW
cred their feet;
Or how in the sun they found time to
bask?
Were some of the questions good
friends might ask.
But these were not mysteries to
those who knew
The whims and the ways of this dark
skinned crew;
For when darkness settled and the
town grew still,
Jimtown shook itself and so did Dol
lar Hill.
And when again on Milford the sun
shone bright,
Stories were told of what happened
in the night:
A ham had vanished; gone a couple
of hens;
But what did this matter 'jes among
frens?"
For "grown-ups must eat and pick
aninnies be fed,"
And were not "they all human?" the
white folks said,
So in the good old days, known as
''the long ago."
Society passed on blithly moving to
and fro.

DELAWARE TREASURY
BULGES WITH LARGE
SURPLUS OF FINDS
[csntinu1d from frn bnall

$5,OOO,OO0 but as some changes were
made in the laws from where the
school funds come they will not like
ly be that much the next two years.
But even should the school revenues
be but $4,000,O00 a year for the next
two years with the balance of nore
than $4,000,000 left in this fund on
July 1 as shown by the Baker re-
port there would be sufficient to pay
the $9,000,000 appropriated during
the next two years and still have a
surplus of $S,OOO,00O in that fund on
June 80, 1881.
Even should the receipts the next
two years in all the funds be con-
siderable less than those of the past
year because of changes in the
school tax laws the report would in
dicate that there will still be to-
tai surplus of more than S10,000,000
in all the funds on June 30, 1881,
after spending the $15,000,000 appro-
priated by the legislature.

GOD SITS ON HIS THRONE
BE NOT PERPLEXED

o wonders of the present age!
Inspiring poet, confounding sage
How fast unfolding to our view
So oft we find the "ever-new."
But yesteryear it could not be-
Today we own 1--WE did not see."
Our eyes are open, our fingers touch
The things we would not own "were
SUCH"
Fast fly the ships of air in space
Where once but birds their paths did
trace,
And in our ears sweet music huns
AS radio waves assail their drums.
Voices speaks to us from out the
night
And thrill us with mysterious might;
The magic of the surgeons knife
Gives sure relief and prolongs life.
But more wonders by far, we think,
Now stands balanced upon the
brink
Of mans short-sighted power to
see
Well hail them soon "as things that
be-"
Be not perplexed by the things I'M
known,
The God of love sits on His throne;
And, as we are able to comprehend,
All mysteries will disappear-will
end.

POULTRYMEN PLAN
TOUR And SHOW
lCOntinued from Er5f p60e1

which also will be announced in the
near future, the results of the grow
healthy CHICKS campaign will be the
outstanding object OF the trip in
view OF the fact that considerable
enort has been placed upon this
phase of the poultry industry by the
Extension Specialist and County
Agents with the assistance of the
State Board of Agriculture and the
interested poultry farmers through
out the State. The attention of the
visitors also will be directed TO the
methods of constructing the long
type brooder houses, as several OF
the poultry raisers have made in
quiry concerning this type of house
for young chicks.
In addition to formulating plans
for this annual tour, the executive
committee of the association is also
making extensive arrangements for
the second annual State poultry
show. Due to the interest which was
demonstrated in the show which was
held in Milford last January the
members of the committee are con-
f1dent that the event this year will
result in even greater success, and
that the exhibits will encourage the
poultryme nof the State to raise
better and more profitable birds.
The premium catalog is nearing
completion under the direction of
Secretary H. S. Palmer, who is be-
ing assisted by the different commit
tees who have charge of the various
departments in connection with the
show, and plans are under way for
staging in Milford this coming De-
cember one of the largest poultry,
baby chick and egg shows ever held
on the Peninsula.
Aside from the regular exhibits a
special feature of the show this year
will be a series of conferences for
the benefit of the producers and
buyers, during which time it will be
possible for both groups of men to
become better acquainted with each
other and to discuss the problems
of marketing poultry and eggs in the
eastern markets. This part of the
poultry show is being planned under
the direction of W. T. Derickson,
Director of the Bureau of Markets
of the State Board of Agriculture,
who will be glad to receive thel
names of those producers and buy
ers who would like to take advan-
tage of this opportunity to improve
the marketing situation in this Sec
tion of the country.

CLOUDLAND

1 love to sit in the twilight,
Just after the suns gone down;
And watch for the curious creatures
That people my CIoudland town.
My Cloudland's streets are paved
with gold,
Its castles of stone are made;
And so many kinds of creatures
Move together, unafraid.
There are dogs, cats, pigs, COWS,
And lions and tigers too;
Birds both real and fantastic,
Cloudland must have zoo!
And then there are wonderful peo-
pie,
Witches, ladies, and kings;
Why 1 have even seen angels,
Hovering on gauzy wings!
Oh, it must surely be fairyland!
Where else could anyone find,
So many gorgeous creations,
Of every conceivable kind?
Thus in my fancy I see it,
In the dusky evening sky;
A Cloudland of fabulous castles,
Rearing their towers on high.

and swimming and with dances in
the evening, are some of the items
that we hope will make life an at
tractive and alluring one. The ex-
ercises and sports will have their
helpful effect"
Colonel LeFevre referred to the
fact that because there are always
new men in the regiment each year,
that the instruction has to start
from the ground up. In the fifteen
days of training, the aim is to edu-
cate and train the men so that by
the end of the camp they will have
become proficient with whatever
unit they are assigned to.
"In our defense work." said Colo
mel LeFevre, ""things must co-ordi-
nate. Each unit has its place and it
must work in harmony with the
others, because one depends upon
the other" He then went on to de-
scribe some of the military maneuv-
ers and technique by means of which
an anti-aircraft battery operates.
Fortunately the Delaware regi-
ment has as officers, many young
men whose heart is in this military
training. Their spirit and enthusi-
asm has communicated itself in
other years to the privates, and this
has helped lot. They take pride
in what they get out of their men,
and the privates in turn get a Kick
out of making a successful rating.
Last year the marksmen of the
regiment made a wonderful showing
with the big three-inch guns, when
twice they brought down the huge
target trailing back of an aeroplane.
It's not unusual for the target to be
struck, but to have the fuses timed
so accurately that they explode on
or around the target so that it it de-
molished is decidedly exceptional.
That was part of the achievements
last year and Colonel John P. Le-
Fevre is. hoping for a similar accom-
plishment this year.
The target is like a sleeve. It is
made of canvas, and is towed behind
an airplane, the diseance between
plane and target being about $500
yards. In hitting the target, the three
units used in firing the big guns
must be clever, because the target is
moving probably more than a mile
/ minute.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Tomatoes, fresh, raw, or canned,
are a good source of vitamins A, B
and c. Include them very frequent
ly in your menus. Young children
and even babies may be given toma-
to juice.
Variations of the V-shaped neck
line are usually becoming to the
round, plump face, rather than a
round neck-line which repeats the
lines of the face. A square neck is
also becoming to this type of face.
Be careful not to cook corn on the
cob too long or it will be tough and
tasteless. Have a large kettle of
water boiling rapidly and drop the
corn into the water for from 8 to 10
minutes, if Sl-OTe are not many ears.
To clean burners on a gas stove,
take them out of their sockets and
brush off all loose dirt. Boil in a
solution of washing soda made by
adding II pound of soda to each gall
Ion of water, for " hour. Rinse and
wipe dry, then put back and light the
gas to finish drying off.
Shirred eggs are a pleasant change
for breakfast or lunch. Drop the
eggs into shallow buttered baking
dish, sprinkle buttered bread crumbs
on top, and bake in moderate oven
until the eggs are set. Individual
baking dishes may be used, and the
eggs sent in them to the table.
