EGG RECORDS SENT
TO POULTRYMEN

ture, in view of the fact that many
poultrymen in the state are expe-
riencing trouble with this disease
in their flocks.
The first symptom that is noticed
in this disease is rattling sound in
the birds throat, and as the trouble
becomes worse the bird assumes a
sitting position with it's neck drawn
in and the head bent forward with
the eyes closed. In most cases bron-
chitis starts in flock because such
factors are exposure to chilling and
dampness, infestation with worms,
or improper feeding lower the resist
ance of the fowl to this disease.
In the case of an outbreak of
bronchitis the poultryman should
first attempt to find the underlying
cause and then correct it, although
in some instances this entails a
longtime process, and this is espe-
cially true if this disease is caused
by worm infestation. Medical treat
men consists of placing "B-K' in the
drinking water at the rate of 2
tablespoonfuls to 8 gallons of water.
Sterilac is another good disinfectant
for drinking water, and this mate
rial should be used in the proportion
of 1 heaping teaspoonful in gallons
of water.
The smoke treatment has also
given excellent results, and any one
of the following materials can be
used: q) creolin, (2) beachwood
creosote, or (3) mixture of one
half cup of pine tar, one-half cup of
turpentine, and 4 tablespoonfuls of
sulphur. These materials can be
vaporized by pouring them upon hot
bricks and use only enough to COM
pletely fill the poultry house with
the smoke and fumes. The doors and
windows should be closed for an
hour or two during the treatment.

WILD DUCK AND GOOSE
SEASON OPENS OCT. 16

another license by Delawareans.
Near Havre de Grace, Nd, is the
famous Susquehanna Flat, which is
the favorite feeding ground of can
vasback and redhead. But every
river on the Eastern Shore also has
its stock of ducks, so that the hunt
ing is good almost everywhere on
the bay.
The canvas-back is the finest eat
ing wild fowl of the family with the
redhead, mallard, and black duck as
close runners-up. All of them are
vegetarians and will not eat fish un-
less they are driven to it. Thus they
are free from that oily taste to be
found in the bluebill or the pintail.
AS an added protection certain
days of the week are set aside when
no shooting is permitted on the Sus-
quehanna Flats.
While wild goose shooting opens
at the same time as duck shooting
few geese will be brought down un-
til late in October and November.
The best goose hunting is to be had
along the sand dunes of the Atlantic
coast in Southern Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia. Chincoteague
Bay is one of the favorite places for
geese. For those who want to travel
longer distances there is some un-
usually fine goose shooting to be
had in the extreme lower end of
Albemarle Sound.

present at the Secretaries Confer
ence at which the automobile laws
were discussed.
1t was however, the opinion of all
that all States ought to have uni
form automobile laws and with that
end in view it is more than probable
at the next meeting of the Secretar-
les of State, that each Motor We
hicle Director of the different States
will be invited to meet with the Sec
retaries to confer on the subject.
Another subject discussed and of
Importance to all of the States, was
that of advocating a Constitutional
Amendment whereby if Represen-
tative in Congress dies, that the Gov
ernors of the States shall have the
power to appoint a successor the
same as they now have in the ap-
pointment of a United States Sena-
tor in case of death or resignation.
There was some opposition to the
proposition from some of the repre-
sentatives of the Western States.
The main discussion in the Cor
poration Law was over the mo par
value" stock which was adopted by
Delaware some few years back and
which is being adopted by other
States. 1t seemed to be the universal
opinion of the representatives that
the no par value stock was the right
thing,

rial in each school. Unfortunately
there is not enough of this historic
lumber available to make it possible
to provide a block for every school
in the country.
The blocks are of pine, all in
sound condition. They will bear
printed labels telling of their source,
and with each block there will be
sent a printed leaflet telling the his
tory of this now famous lumber.
They will thus be available for eff
fective memory aids in both natural

No charge will be made for these
souvenirs and the association in

their request to the National Lum-

of their school and its address care

AMERICAN LEGION

The American Legion, Post, No. 8,
had supper meeting at Salevan's
Tea Shoppe on Tuesday evening, Oc-
tober 8, at which time DR.. James
Beebe, the commander of the Della
ware Department of the American
Legion, presented the local post with
a large silver loving cup. This cup
is given annually to the post show
ing the largest increase in member
ship for the year. 1t speaks well for
the showing Milford made in compe-
tition with other posts of the State.
A committee was formed to promote
an auxiliary for this post, as an aid
to the work here. The post has been
asked to run beauty contest. The
girl will compete in Wilmington and
the winner gets a reward of a trip to
Miami, Florida this winter. Organi-
cations will be asked to help with
this project should the post decide to
enter in the contest.

DELAWARE HAS FINE
STATE POLICE FORCE
Mack Says State Is One OF Few
Having Complete Protection.

! w. w. Mack, chief engineer of the
Delaware State Highway Depart
ment, has high opinion of the Della
ware State Highway Police, the or
ganization headed by c. G. Reynolds,
superintendent. Commenting on the
State Police, Mr.. Mack says that
Delaware is one of the few States
that the State police give full pro-
lection over the entire State.
The Delaware State police are well
distributed through the State and
while other States may have many
more police no State has more police
in proportion to the population nor
gives as thorough attention to sum-
mons as do the Delaware police.
The stations and police are we'll
placed throughout the State. The
organization is of much greater i'm
portance here than it is in many
States, as there are fewer large
towns that have strong police forces
here than in some States, and more
reliance is placed in the perform
ance of the State police.
While the average peaceful citi-
zen is resting in bed, there are al
ways Delaware highway police on
duty. At every hour of the day and
night, there are men on duty at one
of the stations, ready to bring as
sistance in any emergency that
might occur. They know where the
doctors can be located in a hurry,
the quickest way to summon the
ambulance, are skilled in the opera
ton of any kind of machine, and
have at their hands the arms with
which to combat any unlawful per-
sons that might be committing some
unexpected crime.
The State highway police force
was organized by an act of Legisla-
ture in. 1919 and since that time has
been gradually developed until it
now consists of a force of 40 men.
There are Al privates, five corporals,
two sergeants and one captain.
The five stations of the highway
police are as follows with the loca-
tion and the corporal in charge:
Station No. 1, at the top of Penny
Hill, on the Philadelphia Pike, Cor
poral Edward c. Beswick; Station
No. 2, at State Road, on the DUPONT
Boulevard, Corporal Roger P. Elder
kin; Station No. 8, Dover, Corporal
Samuel G. Powell; Station No. 4,
Georgetown, Corporal Norman A.
Purnell; Station No. 5, Bridgeville,
Corporal Charles B. Knox.
Sergeant Earle Cole is in charge
of the stations in the northern part
of the State and Sergeant Raymond
ingram is in charge of those in the
lower part of the State. Captain
Henry c. Ray has charge of the
State highway police under the di-
rection of Superintendent Reynolds.
Station No. is new brick and
concrete station which has just been
completed, with the old station be-
ing used for garage and store
room, and a new Station No. 2 was
just constructed last year. The
other stations, Mr.. Mack said, are in
keeping with the present design of
architecture in the vicinity in which
they are located and they will not be
replaced any time soon. !

Autumn, Activities

holland on Thursday, the 3rd, for the
Board of Education, the teachers and
d lew friends. Usually at a large
party one expects to play cards but
the Mulhollands had planned a real
evening of fun. Their nice home on
Lake View avenue lends itself very
admirably to crowd and with each
one comfortable, the guests were
presented with song sheet, contain
Ing words set to the music of old
and favored tunes. Mrs. Mulholland
showed real ability in being able to
write a line or two, or a whole song
about each one of the teachers and
the board members. The host was
the song leader and the hostess the
accompanist. 1t was afterwards that
moving pictures were shown of To-
cal scenes and people, and those of
things farther removed. After a de-
licious supper the guests departed
wishing for more such happy even
1ngs. Those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Shilling, DR.. and Mrs.

for all members of the family, knit
underwear for men, women and
children, lingerie, house dresses,
mems shirts and work clothes. In
the piece goods section are domes-
tics, draperies, dress goods, house.
wares, including floor coverings,
electrical supplies and paints form
another large section of the store,
while the hardware, auto and radio
accessory departments appeal to
men. In addition there are miscel-
laneous departments such as no.
tions, and leather goods.
Convenience A Feature
The new Grant store is laid out
with the convenience of the shopper
in mind. Goods of one kind, or ap-
pealing to one group of shoppers,
are placed near together. All goods
are displayed openly in bins, each
piece marked with price and size so
that customers can handle and COM
pare.
Sales are completed easily and
quickly, so that customers do not
have to wait for bundles or change.
Everything is planned to make shop
ping easy and convenient.
Local SaleSWOmen
The saleswomen in the new Grant
store are from this locality. They
have been trained and are ready to
offer satisfactory service as soon as
the doors open Saturday. Many of
them have been working in the store
for the past week marking, sorting,
and placing the merchandise.
A Trained Merchant
Mr.. George w. Perry, who has
been named manager of the local
store comes here from Camden,
Maine. Mr.. Perry is a trained mer-
chant, being a product of the Grant
system of training it's own execu-
tives. All the managers, and with
the exception of a few technical
men, all the officials of the Grant
organization have been promoted
from the ranks.
All men, on becoming affiliated
with the Grant Company start work
as f1oormen, and earn promotion by
proven merit. A course of training,
a circulating library at the New
York office, and transfers from store
to store aid them in getting thor
ough grounding in principles of mer-
chandising. After an apprentice
ship as assistant managers they are
promoted to full managership of one
of the smaller stores and earn ad-
vancement to larger stores by prov
ing their ability.
There are now nearly 500 young
men in course of training for the eX-
ecutive positions which the steady
expansion of the company is Great
ing.
A Beautiful Store
In it's opening dress the new Grant
store is thing of beauty. The walls
are done in cream colored paint,
against which the dark walnut tix-
lures form a striking contrast. Light
flooding from the closely hung light
ing fixtures, reflected from a snowy
ceiling, fills every inch of the store,
allowing no shadows anywhere.
Plate glass used as counter edges,
adds to the general effect. The fresh
new merchandise, displayed in novel
wavs adds color to the whole.
An advertisement of the new store
is carried in other columns OF this
paper.

FEDERAL COURT
SAYS LIQUOR BUYER
Is NOT RESPONSIBLE
Continued from Page u

Judge Thomson, who wrote the
opinion, criticised the federal au-
thorities behind the prosecution of
Norris because, he said, they had
been unable to reach a liquor buyer
directly under the prohibition law
and had adopted the indirect means
of trying to get at him" through a
charge of conspiracy.
"Such a situation is scarcely con-
ceivable," Judge Thomson observed,
"and yet that is the position of the
government.
st is conceded that under the
18th amendment and the Volstead
Act, passed to carry it into effect,
the purchase of liquor is not made
an offense. 1t follows that the pur-
chase as such does not subject the
buyer to punishment. While the
seller of liquor, who delivers it to
the purchaser, is liable under the
law both for the sale and transporta-
tion, the purchaser to whom the
goods are delivered is chargeable
with neither the purchase nor the
transportation.
