MILFORD'S MEMS BIBLE
CLASS LEADS DOVER

The attendance contest between
the Mems Bible Glass of the Presby-
terrain Church of Milford and the
Mems Bible Glass of the Presbyter-
ian Church of Dover was planned to
begin January 9th. But Rev. G. A.
Burslem, pastor of the Dover church
had been sick and was unable to
inaugurate the plans he had for that
date. Therefore the beginning of
the contest was postponed until last
Sunday at which time the Milford
Glass had twenty-five present at
the Glass and twenty-one present
at the morning church service, MAX
ing a total of sixty four points. The
Dover Glass had five present at
the Sunday School service and two
present at the Church service MAX
ing total of nine points.
Some think that Dover is careful
ly maturing plans that will enable
that Glass to make large showing
at the close of the contest that will
overcome the strong lead of Mil
ford. 1t is the theory that the great
showing of Milford at the start will
cause that Glass to become over
confident and it's enthusiasm to
lapse so that at the psychological
period Dover can pile up a superior
number of points and overwhelm it's
rival. However the local class is
determined to be the victor.

POULTRY MEETINGS
In KENT COUNTY
[CsntinSsd from frn t&Sel


man of the University of Delaware,
ject was conducted in cooperation
with the three county agents and
several of the leading commercial
poultry farmers.
During the spring of 1928 the
poultrymen were advised to follow
certain set of points, or practices,
in connection with this campaign
for healthier and better chicks, and
the records from $50 farms on
which all or part of these prac-
tees were followed show some very
encouraging results from state
wide standpoint of disease 'preven-
ton and control.
Among the other items of interest
which will be discussed at each of
these meetings will consist of pre-
sentation of figures showing the
cost of growing pullets to six
months of age, the amount of feed
consumed by each bird per month,
in addition to the feed costs per
bird, the cost per dozen eggs pro-
duced, the net price received per
dozen, and the net returns per bird
above feed costs. This information
was obtained from the records that
were kept by those poultrymen
who were members of the complete
poultry record clubs in the Millville,
Bridgeville and Hartly communities
last year, and the summary of these
records should be of exceptional
value to every poultry farmer in
the state who is cnocerned about
realizing the greatest profits from
his flock.

building up of the complete machin-
cry whenever the bill becomes a law.
Some changes may be made in the
Senate. The bill as it passed the
House proposes to start the census
on May 1, 1880, but there is a move
ment for deferring this to November
1. Opponents of the change argue
that it would throw the undertaking
out of gear, especially in rural dis
tricts where difficulties would be en-
countered by the enumerators in
winter months.
Approximately 100000 persons
will be required, it is estimated, to
ascertain how many millions have
been added to the country's popula-
ton since 1920. There will be 375
supervisors in the field, from 5000 to
10000 clerks, special agents and in
terpreters.
The 1880 census is to be the most
extensive ever attempted. 1t will
seek not only to record the popula-
ton, but will bring together data on
agriculture, irrigation, drainage and
distribution, the latter subject hav-
ing been provided for at the instance
of President-elect Hoover to indi-
cate trade trends.

DELMAR ASKS AID TO
SAVE R. r. TERMINAL
[CsHtiased from first b4gel

Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
contemplating in Delmar.
eff these changes take place, it al
most amounts to the death knell of
Delmar, and means no little damage
to the merchants of Salisbury. Ow-
ing to the friendly feeling that eX-
lists in Delmar for Salisbury, and
which we believe is reciprocated,
we believe that you are also inter-
ested in the welfare of Delmar.
Therefore, we would appreciate it
very much if you would give a com
mittee from Delmar an appointment
at any time suitable with you, and
let us lay this matter before your
body and see if there cannot be
some concerted action taken to pre-
vent the contemplated changes by
the railroad company"
The Pennsylvania proposals is to
eliminate the custom of changing
crews for freight and passenger
trains at Delmar and combine the
Norfolk with the Wilmington Divis-
ion. This would mean that the
trainmen's families residing in Del
mar must either move to Whining
ton, Del, or Cape Charles, Va.
Moves already taken in that direc-
ton is said to have. caused the re-
moval of IA families from that town
to the new terminal points.
Trainmen predict the early aband-
onment of the shops and yards at
Delmar, if the company pursues its
present policies.

STATE ALMSHOUSE
PLAN WORKED OUT
BY CHARITY BOARD
[csntimsrd from frst S4gs]


New Castle county, $1,000; Kent,
$500; Sussex, $500, a total of
/ $25,700.
Under the proposed plan each
county would pay to the State aims
house on the basis of per diem per
patient, and this is figured at not
more than rs cents.
The Kent county almshouse prop
erty is estimated to be worth per-
haps 100000. In addition to what is
now there the following new build
ings would be necessary: One to &C
commodate 1874 white men; one for
So colored men and 80 colored wo-
men; hospital building for those
who need such care, and power
plant. A building is now there that
would accommodate 40 or 80 white
women. The total cost of this work
is estimated at 100000.
The Board of Charities suggests
that the legislature at once appoint
committee from among its mem
bers to look into the proposition and
discuss it thoroughly with the mem
bers of all three Levy Courts, at a
Joint conference, to be attended also
by representatives from the State
Hospital for the Insane and Della
ware Colony at Stockley, and have it
report it's recommendation to the
present Assembly.
