Between games Of the Sunday
double-header, some Of the Holly
wood boys were reading the Times
and showed Manager Oscar Witt an
item which stated that woman in
Russia had been pronounced dead on
five different occasions during the
past few years.
"Gosh!" exclaimed Oscar with
sparkling eyes, what an ideal grand
mother for some boy to have during
the baseball season !''-Los Angeles

shooting distance of the boat, and
Captain Deputy blazed away, the
first shot striking the shark in hack
of the head. This did not seem to
hurt the man-eater in the least, and
he tore away from the boat at q
great rate Of speed. The line was
played out to him, and he finally
turned toward the boat again. Play
ing him carefully with the line, the
young men, all of whom were hold
ing the line, finally got the shark
near the boat, and again Captain
Deputy blazed away. This time the
shot hit a vital spot in the sharks
head, and although he fought like a
demon, the young men succeeded in
bringing him ashore.
The young men went to Seafcrd
Sunday night, got a truck, and load
ing the man-eater in it took it to Sea-
ford, hanging it for inspection at
the fertilizer plant of A. S. Woolley,
where photographs were taken, and
where hundreds have viewed it. A
shark almost as large was caught
by fishing party taken out by the
Deputy boys a few days previous.

POULTRYMEN PLAN
FOR GREAT SHOW
Annual Affair VIII Be Held In Jan
uary, 1881

At the call of G. A. Swanson, pres
ident of the Delaware State Poultry
Association, a meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee and other representa-
| tive pOultrymen of the state was
held in Wolf Hall at the University
of Delaware on Monday evening of
this week to discuss plans for the
annual state poultry tour and poul-
try show which are regarded as the
two outstanding activities of the as
sOciation each year.
The state poultry show this winter
will be held in the armory in Will
mington on January s, and 10 un-
der the auspices of the Delaware
State Poultry Association in Coop
Grafton with the Delaware Fanciers'
and Breeders Association, the State
Board of Agriculture and the Agri-
cultural Extension Service of the
University of Delaware. Special
committees have been appointed to
take care of the various departments
of the exhibits of poultry and com
mercial displays and the cO-opera-
ton of all the poultry raisers and
hatcherymen throughout the state is
being solicited in order that this
show will be a marked success and
a credit to the poultry industry of
Delaware.
1t is expected that large number
of. commercial poultry raisers, in
cluding both the growers of produc-
ton and exhibition stock, will take
an active interest in this show and
exhibit their birds along with their
Displays of baby chicks and eggs. A
special department is also being ar
ranged for the members of the All
clubs and the vocational agricultural
departments in the high schools
throughout the state.
The date for the annual state poul-
try tour has not been definitely de-
cided, but committee has been ap-
pointed to formulate plans for this
event, announcement of which will
be given later concerning the timer
airy and program.

many of the officers of a subordi-

the basic principles of the Grange

The dedication ceremony, which is
used when such new homes of men,

timer Whitehead of New Jersey, who
was not only head of the organiza-
tion in that state for many years,
but lecturer of the National Grange
as well. Mr.. Whitehead had the dis
tinction of being the first man to
plead before a Congressional hear
ing at Washington for the establish
ment of rural delivery of mail, and
it was to a considerable degree due
to his earnest efforts that a start
was made on the system which has
so widely covered the entire farm
population of the United States. Mr..
Whitehead served nearly four years
in the Union army and died quite
recently at a Soldiers Home in Cal
ifornia. He was well known in Del

HILARIOUS COMEDY PICTURE
COMING TO LOCAL HOUSE

Loose Ankles" hilarious screen
comedy about modern girl who
must marry the choice of her old
fashioned aunts or lose a fortune,
has been scheduled for the New
Plaza Theatre and is to open OctO-
ber 81.
The First National and Vitaphone
all-talking hit was adapted from the
stage comedy of the same name by
Sam Jenney. 1t is one of the Bur-
bank studios funniest and peppiest
productions.
A host of noted comedy players
support Loretta Young and Douglas
Fairbanks, Jr., the youthful screen
favOrites, who are cast in the roman
tic leads. Louise Fazenda, Otis
Harlan, Ethel Wales, Daphne Pol
lard, Inez Courtney, Edward Nugent,
Norman Selbby and Raymond Keane
are all in the cast which is really all
star, for each and every one of these
popular favorites has seen his or her
name in electric lights.
Miss Young's comedy role is arous-
ing widespread attention because it
follows right after her notable sue
cess as an emotional actress in
"Fast Life" Critics are diveded as
to which type of part the 17-year-Old
leading woman should portray on the
screen, as she is equally apt at both.

HOW TO FIGHT WORM

and are at first green but later turn
rather dark with yellow stripes
down its back and along the sides.
The adult worm is about IA inches
long. individuals of this worm are
here each year but we do not notice
them until they reach their times
of unusual abundance. At such
times the armies" appear moving
in great numbers destroying as they
go. Quite often an entire field of
some crop may be destroyed during
a single night when they do most
of their harm. The larvae become
full grown in about a month. The
winter is passed as a half grown
larvae in the ground and in the
spring these larvae transform,
moths emerge and in a few weeks
the worms are at work.
The migration of the worms from
field to field may be prevented by
plowing deep burrows with the per-
pendicular sides away from the
worms. 1t seems that the worms are
unable to cross a furrow of this
kind and when trapped they can be
destroyed by burning or crushing.
In smaller plots they can be pois-
oned by the use of the following
scattered over the field: One pound
of Paris Green mixed with so lbs.
of bran. To this add about 2 quarts
of molasses and water as needed to
moisten.

| The work of these editors will be
watched carefully for originality of
presentation and accuracy of facts.
Historical Editor"-an editor who
will be required to prepare a series
of eight ten-inch articles, each on
some incident in the history of the
town of Milford or of neighbOring
towns. This editor will be required
to interview important people of Mil
ford for the facts that will serve as a
basis for the articles.
Business EditOr-an editor who
will be required to prepare a series
of eight ten-inch articles based on
an interview with a local business
man on the usefulness of his bust
ness to the community.
A who's Who" editor-an editor
who will be required to prepare a
series of ten inch articles about the
teachers of the schoOl-who they are,
where they are from, their hobbies,
etc. These articles are intended to
acquaint the community with the cal
ibre of the teaching staff of the
school.
RepOrters-abCut 20 or more will
be appointed, and each given def
mite things about which to write.
Their contributions will serve as
school essays, altho brevity will be
the keynote. These reporters will be
asked to cover" certain assignments
just as a reporter on a big newspa-
per is required to do. These assign
ments will encourage the student to
read newspapers more carefully and
learn from experience how best to
present the facts of story.
The above, however, is only brief
outline of how "The Milford High
School News" will be prepared.
There will be more editors appointed
to do definite things-the chief idea
behind the page is to serve as
source of self-instruction to those
students who want to improve their
methods of writing. There is no
such opportunity as a real newspaper
presents, hence the interest which
attaches itself to this unique expert
ment.
The question arises Can the stu
detns of The Milford High School
edit their own newspaper The pub
fishers of the Chronicle believe they
can after the training they will get.
Miss Alden, the editor, believes they
can. Prof. Shilling, superintendent
of the high school has an open mind.
He wants to be shown. Can they do
it is the Question:" The mothers
and fathers will watch the attempt
with more than passing interest.
