HARRINGTON INCREASES IT'S
LEAD

Last week the attendance contest
between the Milford Presbyterian
and the Harrington Methodist Pro-
testant Sunday schools found the
latter ahead by A credits. 1t was a
spur to the PresbyteFians to get
busy. Some did. But more Harring-
tonians worked to augment their ad-
vantage. Last Sunday their school
and church attendance broke prev
ious records. Pastor r. w. Sapp
and his 0fliciary greeted with cord
ial amazement the throngs that came
to both services. The check up
showed distinct results. 1t was 300
for the Methodist Protestant and
252 or the MilfOrditeS. The total.
score to date is 544 for Harrington
and 452 for Milford
Superintendent S. w. Hammond
has arrived at the conclusion that no
will win the banner for
the Presbyterian but that all must
work. TEe declares himself ready
for the job.

ADVANTAGES IN FALL FRESH.
ENIN6

There are several advantages in
breeding dairy cows to freshen in the
fall say dairy specialists of the y.
S. Department of Agriculture. But
terfat usually brings a higher price
during the fall and winter mouths.
Labor is easier to obtain, and there
is more time TO care for the calves,
and large supply of milk. Fall
freshening COWS viii, as a rule, pro-
duce well during the winter months
and fall off in spring, when pasture
stimulates increased production.
Fall-dropped calves are easier to
raise and usually they are less sub
ject to disease. Records kept by the
department show that compared with
COWS freshening at other seasons OF
the year cows which freshened in the
fall ranked highest in average year.

@
A party of a different kind wa.
given on Thursday evening of las
week by Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Toad
vine at their attractive home on
Lake View avenue. The guests were
invited for an "Oyster Party" As
they entered the house it looked for
all the world like the regular bridge
parties so prevalent in Milford. But
that was for entertainment. The re-
| freshments were the unusual part
| OF the program. In the dining room,
where covers were laid for twelve,
were served on the half SHELL some
of the most beautiful, the most lus-
ciOus oysters that the Eastern Shore
is capable of producing, with the re-
quired sauce and the necessary
other fiXin's to make them perfect.
They were served in other ways too
that the capable hostess knew about.
The Toadvines give this kind of a
party ever so often but Mrs. Toad
vine always says it is Steve's party
so the honOrs go to him for an eve
ming of good things, oysters, game
of bridge and a fire downtown
thrown in for good measure. The
guests were DR.. and Mrs. Walter L.
GrieP, Dr. and Mrs. Elmer T. Will
liams, Mr.. and Mrs. George H. Dra-
per, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. c. Donnan
Holzmueller and Mr.. and Mrs. G.

so slowly, but the thinkers are the
ones who win. After that statement
the palm goes to George Russell,
who was declared the winner The
other guests were Mark L. Davis,
Herman Sharp, George Watson,
Burton Masten, Benjamin Vinyard,
and John Ingram. Refreshments
were served at ten-thirty and the
game was continued until a wee
small hour. This week Mr.. Vinyard

This week the event that seems
most worthy of mention is the ban
Quet that The L. d. Caulk Company
gave its employees on Friday eve
ming of last week. True, it is an
annual affair, but each year it is
better and better. 1t seemed espe-
cially fitting to have two men who
we're a part, and an important part,
of the Byrd Expedition, as guest
speakers. They were Ashley c. Nc
Kinley and Bernt Balchen. For, be
it remembered that in the planning
of this wonderful exploratory Voy-
age, these same employees that
were feted the other night. had their
part. And it was probably in rec
ognition of this service to forty-two
men, who went to the South Pole,
or in the adjacent regions, with ev-
erything done for them in a dental
way by L. D. Caulk Company,
through their able agent, DR.. Clyde
Nelson, that these fine representa-
tives found it such a pleasure to be
present. AS one looked in on these
rows of happy people as they sat
that the evening was a perfect one
for all.
