BUCK COMMENDS
KENT LEVY COURT

Governor c. Douglass Buck has
taken official notice of the cut in the
tax rate of Kent county which was
recently announced by the Levy
Court. In a letter commencing them
for their work, he says:
June II, 1880
The Levy Court,
Kent County,
Dover, Delaware.
Gentlemen:-I notice by the press
that you have lowered the tax rate
in Kent County fifteen cents, which
is equivalent, l believe, to almost
twenty-five per cent reduction in
County taxes. This is a notable
achievement and the residents of
Kent county have reason to be
pleased. Your action tends to show
that you have the proper conception
of your duties as public officials and
happily recognize that receipts
from taxes in excess of actual needs
only engender extravagances. Allow
me to commend you upon the useful
public service you are rendering.
Yours very truly,
c. D. BUCK
Governor

Business As Usual

When a Mr.. Jones left his Office
he put on the door this notice: "Will
be back at l p. M" He had been
gone some time when Schmidt, one
of his acquaintance, came to see
him on business. Schmidt read the
notice, pulled out his watch, shifted
cOntemptuously, took out his pencil,
wrote something on the card and
went away. Several men came, read
the sign and wrote on it and walked
off. When Jones came back he read
these endorsements on his notice:
You're a liar by the watch
Schmidt, 1:15 p. m"
"You lie again.-Perry, 1:25 p. m.

FREDERICK OUT OF
DELAWARE TRADE

Departure from Philadelphia of
the steamboat Frederick a few days
ago for Lake Erie marked the pass
ing from the Delaware River of the
last of the river freight carriers to
succumb to the competition of the
railroads and motor trucks.
The vessel has been renamed Erie
Isle, and purchased by George F.
Long, of Middle Bass Island, Ohio.
At one time the lower Delaware Riv-
er ports were served by freight and
passenger boats calling at Salem,
Bridgeton, Sea Breeze, Millville,
Cape May, Lewes, Milford, Dover,
Woodland Beach, Smyrna, Odessa,
Port Penn and Delaware City. The
Frederick was built by Neafie and
Levy in 1894, and since then has
been operated between Philadelphia
and Frederick.
The boat was purchased last year
by John w. Burris, of Milford, who
operated it during the wheat season.
1t was sold to its new owners this
spring.

PUPILS MAY MAKE
UP ENGLISH WORK

There are several pupils in Mil
ford High School, during the past
year, who have not met the require
ments of the State Board, in their
English courses, with regard to book
reports. There is now a rule, in ef-
feet, passed by the State Board, that
those students who do not report
upon books with a total value of 30
points, each year they are in high
school, will not be promoted to a
higher grade, as this is considered
now, a deficiency in English.
1t will be of interest to those hav-
ing such deficiencies to know that
provision has been made by the au-
thorities, making it possible, for pu-
pills to read their books during the
summer and report upon them. The
superintendent of the Milford
schools has appointed Smith Chism
to meet the pupils and hear their re-
ports. He will be at the Milford
High School on Tuesdays, Wednes-

Most Danger At Home

Visiting Nurse Associations have
declared that more injuries are sus-
tained by people at home than any
where else.
There yo uare; What is the use
lodging? Lots of men have re-
Trained from riding in airplanes,
driving automobiles or even riding
in taxis in order to avoid danger.
And all the time they were in more
danger of getting hurt at home than
on the street. The over-nervous per-
son suffers many accidents in an
ticipation if never in actuality.
About the best thing to do is to go
ahead, be careful wherever we are,
and realize that if something should
suddenly snuff us out the world
would get along just the same.-The

CENSUS SHOWS 2741
ARE WITHOUT WORK

Figures announced by William d.
Denney, of Dover, supervisor of the
population census for Delaware, in
dicate that some persons have great
ly exaggerated Delaware's unem-
ployment situation.
Mr.. Denney announced that his
enumerators found there were but
2,741 unemployed men and women
in the entire State. Not many weeks
ago some persons estimated that
there were nearly 4SO unemployed in
Wilmington alone.
There were 1881 unemployed in
Wilmington at the time the census
was taken there.
In rural New Castle county there
were 481 unemployed and in Kent
county 223. In Sussex county there
were 156 unemployed.

The ali absorbing subject of the
town folks, for the past few days,
is the sale of valuable antiques on
Monday at the Holland House" "
There is the anticipation of a big
crowd and we expect some will go
home at the end of the day much
disappointed that they did not get
the particular chair or table, or
whatever the piece might be that
they had set their hearts on buying.
There are lovely things to be sold,
and many of them, but the question
uppermOst in everyOnes mind is
whether the price will be within the
amount of money we think we are
willing to invest in the aforesaid
particular chair or table. Things
come to those who want them hard
enough, so perhaps it all rests with
the individual.

NO CURES KNOWN

Ten poultry diseases against which
no known drug or mixture of drugs
is effective are: typhoid, cholera,
coccidiosis, fowl pest, rOup, dlph-
liberia, chicken pox, diarrhea, and
gapes, and blackhead of turkeys,
says the veterinarian of the Food
and Drug Administration. The use OF
nostrums claimed to cure these dis
eases merely gives the user false
sense of security while the disease
may spread through the flock. Pro-
per precautionary methods will pre-
vent some Of these diseases from
getting into a flock. Once one of
them appears, isolation of sick birds,
sanitation, and careful feeding are
the best know methods of control.

DOES 1T EVER RAIN
ANGLEWORMS

Naturalists do not believe that
angleworms are ever actually rain
ed down from the clouds. The ap-
pearance of angleworms in Unusual
places after a rain can generally be
explained by other means. 1t is ad-
mitted however, that in some cases
the presence of worms in certain
places after a rain is difficult to ex-
plain. Whether or not whirlwinds
and tornadoes sometimes scoop up
the contents of a pond or other body
of water and scatter them over the
earth at great distance is dis
puted duestion.-The Pathfinder.
