100000 DAMAGE
In EARLY MORNING
BLAZE AT FELTON,
Fire Companies From Milford,
Harrington, Dover, Camden
Wyoming Respond To Call.
WATER SUPPLY EXHAUSTED
Pennsylvania R. R. Co. Hauled
Water From Its Supply Tanks
At Harrington, Dover, Clayton.

Fire Quilted n business block on
street at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday
morning and caused damage to real
and personal property amounting to
100000.
Three Dover firemen were hurt
fighting the flames that gutted six
properties.
Fire companies from four nearby
towns battled the flames until near
ly daylight before the blaze was
brought under control.
Water brought from the supply
tanks of the Pennsylvania Railroad
at Harrington, Dover and Clayton,
no doubt saved half a dozen other
buildings from destruction.
Officials of the railroad, when in
formed of the shortage Of water
sent locomotives with tenders to
Harrington, Dover and Clayton for
water, with which to fight the
flames.
Properties destroyed are:
Odd Fellows Hall and meat and
grocery store of Walter H. Moore
on first floor.
Harrington Building, housing the
Produce Exchange and offices of
Harrington and Lynch, and apart
ment of William Luff, barber.
Store and apartment of Jacob
Heyd.
Dwelling of Milton Dill.
Hardware store owned by John
knnnnfnd hU W1IfnT
Hughes.
Garage owned by Walter Hughes.
The barking of a pet dog in Will
liam Luff's apartment, aroused Mrs.
Luff who got up to see what was
causing the dog to bark. She look
ed out a window and saw smoke
pouring from the Odd Fellows build
ing next door. She quickly gave the
alarm and most of the other resi-
dents in the block hastily left their
homes.
The fire, which began on the first
floor of the hall and in the meat and
grocery store of Walter H. Moore,
quickly spread to the upper floor of
the two-story frame building.
Fire companies nearby were not1-
fed and Harrington was the first to
arrive, with Dover, Milford and
Camden-Wyoming companies quick
ly following. Firemen were handi-
capped from the start by lack Of
water, and the cold weather.
From the Odd Fellows building
the flames spread to the Harrington

The Total Value OF All Pre-
duced In The State Was
$l6,4S5,OOO.
CORN LEADS The LIST
Most Products Above Previous
Year Despite Some Decidedly
Decreased Acreages.

AS usual, the principal agricul-
tural commodity produced was corn
with a farm value of $3,717000. Dur
ing the year 1929, the corn acreage
in Delaware was decreased to 1872
900 across from 10000 acres the

"Within the next ten years Del

Cities" predicted Robert Vale, pO-
litical editor of the Philadelphia

Press Association, Saturday at the
dupont Biltmore in Wilmington. His
address featured the annual lunch

Mr.. Vale told the large group of
newspaper publishers, editors and
business heads that in his opinion
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula will be-
come the scene of new develop
ment which may equal that of Sou
thern California and have more per-
manence than that of Florida. He
said the section is the most favored
in the country from a standpoint of
foodstuffs. Being native Of Mil
ford, Delaware, and brother of Ruby
R. Vale, prominent attorney, he is
well versed in the climate and quail
ifications of the Peninsula.
Mr.. Vale emphasized the fact that
because of the advent of the radio,
weekly newspapers that were made
UP largely of community news
would prove just as successful now
as in prior years. He said that ma
tional news, because of radio broad
cast, had little place in the weekly
newspapers, but that the consistent
reporting of the local happenings of
each town would be the strongest
feature to keep the weekly newspa-
per in existence. In speaking of the
opportunities that lie in front of
Delaware and the Peninsula, he
said:
