New Century Club Notes

1t was Bible Day at the Milford
New Century Club on Monday with
Mrs. ]. L. Nichols as chairman and
it was as interesting as Mrs. Nichols
knows how to make these studies of
the Old Book. In opening her pro-
gram she said she would bring moth
ing new to the members, but the
things she and her committee talked
and read about presented facts in
different light bringing information
and inspiration to those who were
in the audience. A poem, "How
Readest Thou, was given by Mrs.
Elizabeth Riggs, which was follow
ed by panoramic view of the Bible
read by Mrs. M. Haswell Pierce. A
paper on Our Christ" was read by
Mrs. Russell Sapp, of Harrington,
in which she spoke of Christ and His
association with the women of the
Bible from Mary, the mother, to
Mary Magdalene, whose grief at the
sepulchre she spoke so feelingly of.
Mrs. Sapp closed her reading with
the poem, Growing, by Frances
Averill. Mrs. Nichols then gave two
papers, one on the physical and
spiritual needs of the human race,
one from material things and the
other from our study and assimila-
ton of the Bible. The other paper
told of the every day life of those
who have the Bible as their guide in
comparison to those of foreign
lands whose worship take some
other form. AS the final thing on
the program Mrs. Nichols read
story from Heroes of The Cross"
A sacred anthem, Jesus, Lover of
My Soul" was beautifully sung by
Mrs. Augustus Dickerson and Mrs.
Fred Breeme, accompanied at the
piano by Mrs. Edward Hurley.
Next week, November %, will be a
Thanksgiving party with Mrs. E. d.
Riggs as chairman. The theme will
be carried out in appropriate read
ings, music and tableaux. A part of
the "Courtship of Miles Standish,"
by Longfellow, will be given in tab
leaux with the following characters:
Priscilla-Mrs. J. Hilton Walters.
John Alden-Miss Elizabeth Mes
sick.
Capt. Miles Standish-Mrs. Has
we'll Pierce.
Elder Brewster = Miss Anne Dep
uty.
After the program refreshments
will be served.

especially necessary for growing
swine and for sows during the ges-
tation and suckling periods. Though
plants contain small quantities of
combinations of sodium, potassium.
calcium, magnesium, phosphorus,
iron. sulphur, and iodine, additional
minerals should be supplied to the
ration fed to animals. Any combina-
tion of minerals which contains lime
and phosphoric acid enough, and is
palatable to the hogs, is satisfac-
tory. The u. S. Department of Ag-
riculture suggests the following
mixture which may be fed on pas
ture or in dry lot: so pounds steam
ed bone meal, Is pounds ground
limestone or air-slaked lime, rs
pounds 16 per cent acid phosphate,
and pounds salt. Wood ashes may
be added to a mineral mixture at the
rate o fOne-third of the mixture by
weight. Hogs appear to relish both
charcoal and soft coal, but neither
of these has much food value. Keep
a mineral mixture in box or self
feeder where it will keep dry and
where the hogs can get it at any
time. =%@IA$

OF RUM
DUMPED IN BAY

[CoHtinued from First Page]

C0HtiHued from FIRST PdgeI
"liquored up" and fighting was gem
eral.
Two men were captured by the
coast guardsmen as they waded
about in the water. One of them, a
Milford merchant, was held on two
of the boats for several hours be-
fore he was taken to the lighthouse
at the mouth of the Mispillion River
and released. He was given a bottle
of liquor by the guardsmen when
they put him ashore. AfCther man
was put in small boat and taken
to the larger boats off shore. Per-
sons who witnessed his arrest say
that he was assaulted by the cap
tain of one of the rum chasers with
out provocation as he sat in the bow
of the small boat. 1t was this oc-
currence, it is said, which caused
much of the feeling against the Of
ficers Tuesday night. One time dur
ing the night the guardsmen shot to
drive back the crowd which was on
shore. On Wednesday additional
guards were brought to the scene
from the Lewes base and no more
trouble was experienced.
1t has been common talk in this
part of the State that rum runners
were landing liquor in the Mispil-
lion River at frequent intervals. The
only captures reported near here on
the part of the Coast Guard are the
two in which the boats grounded.
Last fall a cargo of liquor was
found off Broadkiln Beach after it
had been thrown overheard by the
carrier This weeks is the second
such occurrence.
