Miss Rhoda Anderson, who ha
been attending the Women's Colleg
at the University of Delaware, hai
returned to her home here for tn,
summer.
VIM. P. Smith, a former member
of the Democratic State Committee
was in Dover last week.
Mr. and Mrs. John Stevenson
were Sunday evening visitors at the
tome of te latter's aunt, Mrs. Jen
ME Perry.
Those of the graduating class oil
Lewes high school that made the
annual trip to Washington this week
from this place were Misses Grace
Johnson, Iva Prettyman, Ethel Stew
ensOn, Jessie Phillips and Edwin
Johnson.
In last weeks letter there was a
slight typographical error in the
case of Miss Jessie Phillip receiv-
ing the alumni scholarship award.
1t should have read $3.50 instead of
! SIS. This is one of the highest
awards given and the competition is
always very keen in the class that is
going to graduate.
/ Earl Steele, son of w. Dan Steele,
while driving home at a late hour
Saturday evening, became some
what sleepy, and before he could
get the automobile back in the prop
er position it had struck one of the
concrete head walls, near the home
of John D. Warrington, and ripped
both front wheels loose from the
chassis, and what was left of the car
turned turtle a time or two. The
driver escaped with only a few
bruises and scratches. Those new
hair tripper FOrds won't mess with
you.
There seems to be a demand for
certain kinds of mine props and pill
ing, as many are being shipped out
from the railroad station at Harbe-
son. These days they are all haul
ed to the loading station on heavy
trucks instead of the slow and eX-
pensive method of mules and carts.
Charles Davidson and sons have
purchased another large fiVe-ton In
ternational truck that loads one of
the large gOndola cars with four of
it's loads. They have purchased
tract of timber near RehobOth Bay.
Before the coming of large trucks
this timber was practically worth
less as prop or piling, as the cost
of delivery by the old method was
too great.
Coolspring Grange held its regu-
lar meeting last Friday evening. An
interesting program was presented
by all the members. During the
lecturers hour, one of the features
hour, one of the features of the
program was a roll call of all the
and they were asked to re-
late the Funniest experience they
ever had. Wonder if we all have
not had a funny one some time in
our life If we just stop to think
for a moment? 1t was decided that
there would only be one more meet
ing night before the Grange goes on
it's summer vacation, which will be
on the evening of June 26th. The
date set for the annual Grange pic I
mic was Saturday afternoon, August
18th.
The Ladies' Aid Society will meet
this coming Saturday evening, June
goth, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Walls.
Preaching services will be next
June 21st, at II a. m, by
Rev. Joseph Dickerson. Sunday
school at 10 a. m.
The prospects as of June 1st are |
for a wheat crop of $50 million
bushels above domestic require
nents, this surplus added to the 275
million bushels owned by the Fed
sral Farm Board, will present Sc
'ious problem. The farm board
bought this wheat i'll an emergency
With the idea of stabilizing the price.
The price of wheat in the United
States is about 35 cents higher than
he world price. What is the board
soing to do with it's wheat? 1t is
,isible commodity you can't throw
t out the window and it will van
sh in thin air. Instead of the large
wheat producing areas growing less
wheat it really looks like they kept
bout the same acreage or even
more. Soviet Russia, under it's five
ear plan, is planning to throw her
Millions of bushels of wheat that is
reduced under conditions little
hort of slavery on the markets of
he world. This country has not rec
gnized Soviet Russia or is likely to
nder their present regime. That
; one of the reasons they are anX-
ous to demoralize the wheat mar
ct. The general condition of this
ountry has always been reckoned
n the price of wheat and at present
he prospect is far from encourag
lg. What the ultimate outcome
ill be gives plenty of opportunity
II guessing.
