GEORGE H. BAYNUM
DIED ON TUESDAY
Well Known Citizen OF Milford
Had Been 10 Poor Health For
Several Years.

George Henry Baynum, aged six
ty-one years and six months, died
Tuesday morning, February 18th, at
the Orthopaedic Hospital, in Phila-
delphia, where he had gone for a
special treatment. The funeral will
be held at his late home on South
Walnut street, Milford, at two P.
M. today, and interment in the
Odd Fellows Cemetery. He had
been in bad health for several
years, but during all his experience,
was patient sufferer, without COM
plant over affliction.
He was son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry o. Baynum, of FELTON,, who
once resided in Milford, where the
deceased was born. The family af-
terwards moved to FELTON, where the
father was in the employ of the
Delaware Railroad, and where Geo.
H. Baynum early in life learned
telegraphy, under the late Alvan
Connor, who was station agent at
FELTON, for many years.
He came to Milford in the employ
of the Pennsylvania Railroad and
served for about 80 years as the tel
egraph agent and passenger agent,
up to his illness, which caused him
to be placed on the retired honor
roll of that company.
He married Miss Mary Radcliffe,
youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John w. Radcliffe, of Milford, by
whom three sons were born, viz:
Grier Radcliffe Baynum, of Toronto,
Canada; Robert Baynum, of Phila-
delphia, and George H. Baynum, Jr.,
of Milford.
His parents died several years
ago, but three sisters and a brother
survive him, who are Roland Bay
mum, of Wilmington; Mrs. Laura
Willis and Mrs. George Mullen,
both of Wilmington, and Mrs. Thorn
as Murry, of Viola.
He was member of Temple
Lodge, A. F. and A. M; st. Johns
Commandry, knights Templar; Ev-
ergreen Forrest, Tall Cedars; Crys-
tai Fount Lodge, 1. o. o. F., and
regular attendant and member of
the Avenue M. E. Church of Mil
ford.
Mr.. Baynum was an earnest be-
lever in the Republican party and
stood for all the better things in To-
cal government. His affliction gave
him time to read daily papers, and
he kept well informed as to public
affairs. Especially was he en-
thused over the sport of baseball,
and attended such games whenever
possible.
He was a good citizen.

HOUSE PASSES BILL
TO PAY ROAD BONDS
Senator W. F. Deputy's Measure
Will Save Counties 100000 10
Next Two Years.

Senator w. f. Deputy's bill to have
the State pay the interest and ma
turity amounts on county road bonds
for the next two years passed the
House unanimously Friday after
noon.
1t is estimated that the bill will
save New Castle county $150,000 a
year for the next two years and Kent
and Sussex counties 100000 a year
each, making total of 100000 for
the three counties. A similar bill
was passed two years ago.
When the bill was called up on
motion of Representative Virden the
privilege of the floor was extended
to Senator Deputy to explain the
bill. Senator Deputy stated that he
had heard some criticism of the bill
because the money would come from
the general fund instead of the high
way fund. He said this matter was
threshed out two years ago when a
bill introduced by him was also
passed whereby the interest on all
county highway and State aid bonds
has to be paid from the State high
way fund every year. He said at this
time the highway fund is paying out
about $430,000 annually TO take care
of these interest charges and it was
thought the bill to take care of the
county bonds for two years should
provide that money, come from the
general fund which, he argued, was
able to take care of it. He told of
the lower counties being able TO re-
duce taxes under these bills during
the past two years and said that New
Castle county was able to spend sew
eral thousand dollars for bridge
work as a result of the benefit, with
out bond issue.

WILDWOOD DAIRY CLUB
ELECTS NEW OFFICERS
Organization Is Most Active Boys
Club In The State

An interesting meeting of the Mill
wood Dairy Club was held at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Willis,
near Thompsonville, northeast OF
Milford, on Monday evening of last
week, at which time the members
elected officers for the coming year,
and discussed plans of interest to
the development of club work dur
ing the spring and summer months
AS the result of the efforts upon
the part of Francis Dill, who is
the local leader, this dairy club,
consisting of thirteen boys between
the ages of ten and eighteen, has
the distinction of being one of the
most active club groups in the
county. Each member, with the
exception of two boys, has a calf
which he is feeding, and also keep
ing a complete record of the cost
of feed and other items connected
with this project.
Seven of the members of this club
including John Keller, Phillip Kel-
Ter, Joshua Bennett, George Rob-
bins, Walter Harrington, Ponder
Morgan and Francis Dill, exhibited
their calves at the Kent and Sussex
Fair at Harrington last year, and
every boy won a prize on his ami
NAL, resulting in an increased inter-
est in the club for the future. John
Keller and Francis Dill each won
first prize on their Jersey heifers,
Ponder Morgan won second prize,
and Joshua Bennett was awarded
third pixie In the Guernsey heifer
class, the first prize was awarded
to Walter Harrington, the second to
George Robbins, and the third to
Philip Keller.
The officers who were elected for
the coming year, consisting of JOSH
ia Bennett, president; Phillip Kel-
Ter, president; John Keller, sec.
retary; Ponder Morgan, assistant
secretary, and Carlton Jester, treas
urer, will be installed at the next
regular meeting of the club which

meeting to which the parents of the
club members also will be invited,
and a program appropriate to the
occasion is being arranged by Pom
der Morgan and Carlton Jester, who
are on the program committee. The
refreshment committee is composed
of Francis Dill, Phillip Keller and
Joshua Bennett.
The club meeting at the Willis
home last week was also attended
by County Club Agent Helen L.
Comstock and County Agent Russell
E. Wilson, in addition to Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarence E. Jester and Oscar
Robbins.

'PAY-AS-YOU-GO ROAD
PLAN IS ADVOCATED
Limit New Bonds. Need $2,14O,625
Per Year Next Two Years

During the Legislative budget
committees hearing on the finan-
cial needs of the State highway de-
partment, Governor G.. Douglass
Buck, who is former State High
way engineer, expressed hopes that
the department will be enabled to
operate on "pay-as-you-go" basis,
by January 1, 1880. Mr.. Buck ex-
planned that the commission went
on record, by resolution, not to is
sue more than a quarter of a million
dollars of new bonds. He also ex-
,plained recent actions, which will
result in the calling in of certain
bonds.
Governor Buck said the policy
this year will be the beginning of
program of maintenance and upkeep
of dirt roads. He explained that
through this action, the department
will improve roads to which the
counties could not attend due to
restricted funds.

ure to give you official notification

this achievement We feel that this
achievement of the Caulk Company
merits as large publicity as it is
possible to give, not only because
of the interest the Safety Council
takes in your safety record and en-
deavors but in order that due rec
Ognition shall be given in all safety
circles to your excellent perform
ance. The bronze PLAGUE which

Sincerely yours,
LOUIS A. DREXLER,

'DEATH FLOWER" FOR
JAPANESE BEETLES

If Japanese beetles start
hanging around the home gar
den, some attractive beds of
geraniums probably will re-
duce their numbers.
Charles H. Ballou of the U.
S. Bureau of Entomology,
Washington, finds that these
beetles feed on cultivated ger
aniums and that the diet par
alyzes them, causing about 35
per cent of the geranium ban
queters to die.

OLD RUSSIAN TRAIL MUST CONTINUE ID
 SUFFICE AT KODIAK

KODIAK, May 21n Especial to the Gateway With daily fusilade of blasts along the mountainside just south of Kodiak the town is continually appraised of the fact that the road crew is busily en- gagged completing the four mile stretch of the Shelikoff Highway to as far as Buskin river in the vicinity of Abberts ranch. Only Sufficient funds are available to complete this stretch, and the disappointing word comes that the much h-hoped-for piece of road to Mill Bay running four miles north of Kodiak and reaching the ranches of a number of settlers in that direction cannot be start ed this year.
 The Shelikoff Highway was originally laid out skirting the bays and inlets some twenty miles south to KalSin Bay where the government experiment farm is now located and opening up splendid stock raising country along the way. Thus far only funds enough have been secured to build four miles of this and that not yet complete The same con- dition exists to the north of Ko- diak where the settlers have been obliged to use the old trail that was travelled by the early Rus sians over a hundred years ago when they packed their grain to the little water-power mill near Mill Bay. Friends of the live stock industry on Kodiak contend that more attention should be paid to this island by the road commission, feeling that the crea- tion of livestock industry here is as important as opening up mining country in other parts in Alaska.
 Senator Anthony Dimond, who has the interests of Kodiak much at heart has just written that he took the matter of the Mill Bay road up with Major Malcolm Elliott, chief of the road com mission, but was informed that the budget could not be stretched for that purpose this year. Major Elliott said the matter would be kept in mind

THE PAS, Manitoba. March IT, Emil St. Goddard is recovering from a battle through a blizzard to win The Pas Dog Derby.
 St. Goddard stumbled across the finish line at 11:09 o'clock last night completing the 200-mile non- stop mush to Fin Flon and re- turn, in 36 hours and 59 minutes.
 Earl Brydges was second, three minutes behind Goddard and Ga- briel Campbell, ;. was third, his brother Hector, being. fourth.
 St. Goddard has won The Pass Dog Derby each year since 1915 but this is his first victory over the 20O-mile course as previous derbies were by laps. He used six huskies and when he finished car ried one on his sled.
 Rivals of the young French-Can- adian did not believe St. Goddard could win the race as his dogs had been trained for the lap races and hinted that the 2OO-mile grind would be too much.
 St. Goddard won $2,000 in cash prizes and the Walter Goyne- Grant Rice trophy

E'FRIGID" ALASKA IS NOT AS COLD
 AS WISCONSIN

That Alaska, and especially Ju- neau, is receiving at least some favorable comment in the Eastern papers and that everyone does not hold the opinion that the country is icebound most of the year is shown by an article that appeared in the Milwaukee Sentinel of Feb ruary "A. United States Commis- sioner F. A. Boyle cut the clipping and passes it along:
 "'Spend your winters in the balmy breezes of Juneau, Alaska
 "If this sort of appeal isn't sent out by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, civic association or real estate dealers, they're passing up a good bet, according to the Govern ment Weather Bureau.
 Daily weather reports received here in Milwaukee indicate that Wisconsin can't approach the land of ice and snow CD in moderate temperatures for 1929.
 Not Quite Freezing
 Since the first of the year the average temperature at Juneau has been just above freezing, while Milwaukee and Wisconsin had one sub-zero period after another. The average temperature in the Alaskan city was approximately 10 degrees below that of San Francisco, Cal, and 15 below the average at Jack sonville, Fla.
 And that's not unusual for Ju- neau, according to w. P. Stewart, Government Forecaster here. Severe winter weather is seldom experi- enced at Juneau, he said, because of the warming effect from the Pacific Ocean.
 Mild at Other Cities
 He called attention, however, to the unusually mild temperatures at Eagle and Panama this winter. It is from these two cities in the Yukon Valley that most of the cold weather generally comes. This year the cold waves have been dropping down from the Hudson Bay district instead of following the eastern slope of the Canadian Rockies down to Montana.
 Another unusual condition as a result is the fact that Northeastern Montana has lost it's record of the coldest part of the country to North Dakota and Northern Min nesota.
 Anyway, when you plan your winter vacation next year don't forget Juneau"

land and proceed to the nearest country store for directions as to his destination.
 Principal Worries
 The principal worries of a con- manding officer of flying field on shore are getting his airplanes ready for flight, seeing them safe ly into the air and safely landed at the return of their journey He knows that while the planes are gone there is nothing he can do to add to their safety.
 The commanding officer of a floating field at sea has only be- gun his worries when he has got his airplanes into flight. Upon his handling of the ship and upon constant communication between him and his planes while absent, utterly depends the safety of his flying equipment and the lives of the flying personnel, in peace and in war.
 Coordination of the various &C., tivities which must be carried on from an aircraft carried at sea, where there are so many planes, and so many types of planes, all operating together in such close quarters, entails necessity for enor- mously efficient, and at the same time simple, organization to avoid possibility of confusion and disas- ter.
 Efficient Employment
 There is far more to efficient employment of an air force from ships at sea against ships at sea than one might guess in making a cross country trip over land from one fixed air station to another, also far more than the mere con- struction of a few flying machines.
 Although the development of the aircraft itself as an efficient flying machine has been matter of no small difficulty, the development of coordinating methods, the training of pilots to meet such difficult conditions and the close coordina- tion of aircraft operations with the movement of ships at sea into a well organized offensive team, is an even more difficult problem.
 The daily flights from carrier decks and the efficient way in which fleet problems are carried out gives ample assurance that tte solution of these problems is wei under way.
