CLIFTON'S CORNER
(NeaF LeWes)

We are surprised to hear of the
sudden death of Mrs. Burton, of
near Lewes, who has been making
her home with her son, Thomas
Burton. She had been visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Edward Baker, and
granddaughter, Mrs. Earl Hazard,
Of Chester, Pa. Mrs. Burton came
back to her sons home Saturday,
didn't seem to be sick at all. On
Monday morning she got up. She
didn't feel very good, so after
breakfast she went and laid down
ON the couch, and about noon she
got up and went to her bed to lay
downe, and she died in few min
utes.
Earl Hazard and family, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Baker, of Chester,
spent the weekend with relatives
and friends around here.
John Hazard and George Robin
son, of Angola, spent Sunday with
their sister, Mrs. Clara Vessels.

Many New Strawberries
But Older Ones Remain

People who avoid Strawberries be
cause of their high acidity need not
deny themselves the pleasure of eat
ing this luscious fruit if they will
try some of the miIder favored va
rteticS such as the New York. the
Marshall, and the Chesapeake. Sew
eral hundred varieties of strawber-
r1es are grown in the United States
one for every locality and purpose
according to specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture who have classified them for
the benefit of growers and consum-
ers. OF this large number of varie-
ties, however, only about 40 are
grown commercially, and 10 of these
constitute So per cent of the acre
age. The three leaders-Klondike
Aroma, and Howard 17-account for
6S per cent of the acreage in the
country.
Climate and soil conditions are
factors that determine to a large ex-
tent the best varieties to grow in
the different sections of the country
The Missionary is the leading sort
In Florida and along the Atlantic
coast to Maryland Most other parts
of the South prefer the KIondike.
The BlakemOre, new berry devel-
oped by the department, is becoming
popular in the CarOlinas and as far
north as New Jersey.
The Aroma is favorite in most
of the milder region of the Central
States, including the northern rart
of Arkansas and Tennessee, and the
southern parts of Missouri. Illi-
nois, and Indiana. The Dunlap is
popular in the remainder of the Mid
die West. In the Northwest. Mar
shall. Oregon, Ettersburg 121, and
Clark are most widely grown. while
the Howard II is king north of the
Ohio and Potamac and east of the
Mississippi.
In recent years varieties adapted
to special purposes have taken their
places by the side of the older ones.
The Ettersburg 121, grown in Wash
lngtOn and Oregon, is preferred by
Gamers, while the new Blakemore
appears to be especially good for
preserving. The ice cream trade pre-
fers the Marshall and Klondike.
New varieties of strawberries are
being introduced constantly, the de-
partment says. Many of them DOS
sess. no special value as compared |
with the well-established varieties. |
and most of them soon disappear
from nurserymen's lists. Occasional
ly new variety such as the Blake
more has merit enough to make a
place for itself.

THE GIRL AND HER WAGES

Sometimes girl clerks are paid
only five dollars a week. Nelson
Antrim Crawford, editor-in-chief of
The Household Magazine, tells in
the May issue of the magazine about
a merchant who pays none of his
clerks less than fifteen dollars a
week One gets what one pays for
in workers as well as in other mat
ters, because the merchant states
that the higher wage schedule has
proved successful in spite of hard
times and competition.
The merchant also adds this
moral, directed to women shoppers:
'The dear ladies-God bless 'em!-
are often the sources of their sis
ters" sorrows. When they pursue
the bargains do they stop to ask
who pays the pennies saved'-the
seller or the sellers slavery?"
(which is a pertinent question"
adds Mr. Crawford, who asks this
one. do these bargain pursuers
realize that they may not be saving
at all? Goods of standard quality
advertised brandS-tend to be sold
in stores that pay reasonable wages.
and ordinarily such goods are the
most economical to buy. Further,
courtesy, service, and saving of
time to the customer are, and should
be. important things to the shopper
today. These are obtained from
clerks who receive
wages, not from ill-trained en-
ployees who draw starvation pay"
The baby carriage business shows
a sharp decline Does that mean
the tariff is negligent in its support
of infant industries?

SUSSEX COUNTY
LAYMENPS LEAGUE
Met In The New Century
Club At Georgetown For
Spring Meeting

Last Tuesday evening, the Sussex
County Laymen's League met i'll the
New Century Club. of Georgetown
for the spring meeting. DR.. Francis
b. Short, of Milford, was the prin-
Cipal speaker of the occasion. His
topic was business Methods in
Church Activities" He very force
fully emphasized the necessity for a
definite working program in the
church's work as in any other kind
of work. In an unmistakable man
ner of condemnation, the speaker
flayed the usual lack of any kind of
a program in the average parish. He
concluded the talk by revealing the
awful waste in competition of de-
nominations bent on the same mis-
sion of evangelizing the world; and
finally gave an earnest plea for
church unity and more especially
for democracy of effort.
The Rt. Rev. Philip Cook. Bishop
of the Diocese of Delaware vas the
other speaker and he very interest
ingly spoke along the same lines,
telling of some of his own expert
ences in his early ministry when
the Episcopal Church after the war
was trying to regain her morale and
system and launch a definite pro-
gram.
Bishop Cook also gave an impor-
tant announcement in regard to an
other activity of the Episcopal
Church in Delaware. This summer
a new Boys Camp will be estab-
lished in MiddletOwn, near the site
of st. Andrews School. Plans have
alreadys been formulated, and the
directors and assistants hace been
engaged. This will be filling a need
in Delaware, and the Bishop was
most enthusiastic about it's promo
tion. The dinner for this meeting
was furnished by the Guild of St.
Pauls Episcopal Church and was
served well by the corps of efficient
workers under the leadership of
Mrs. Rowland Paynter, the president
of the guild.
Mrs. Florence Jones accompanied
the rector, the Rev. Martin Bran,
who played the violin selections.
Nc LdyA League Is an Or
sanitation of men of the Episcopal
Church in Sussex county, who meet
twice a year; once in the fall, and |
once in the spring. Samuel Elliott
of Delmar presided at the business
meeting which preceded the dinner. |
At this meeting. Reese White of |

SPRING FROLICS

The Kings Daughters card party
on Wednesday evening was not quite
the success that was expected. A
number of tables were not filled. 1t
was perhaps the old reasOn-toO
many things happening on the same
night. There are now eighty-twO
members of this charitable Organi-
zatiOn and with number like that
giving their whole hearted support
any project could be a success.
When the money for this affair is all
in, those in charge might have an
agreeable surprise. We hope so, for
every penny counts when there are
so many to help.
