PRICE OF EGGS INCREASES
RAPIDLY HERE

After making a record for
low prices the egg market in
this section has taken a sud
den jump and hens have again
become profitable to raisers of
poultry. Eggs have been eX-
ceptionally low all summer
and many who have made it
a business to raise poultry for
eggs went out of the trade as
they found it Improbable.
There has been a decided de-
crease in the raising of poul-
try here which has brought
on smaller egg supply. With
the starting of hatcheries in
this section the demand for
eggs has increased and the
lesser supply has created a
near famine in the local MARI
ket.
Eggs in Milford have been
at a premium for the first
time in many months. Mer-
chants in some instances have
been sending to nearby cities
to secure eggs for their local
trade. This is an extraordi-
nary circumstance for an egg
producing section like the
country around this city. The
wholesale price has risen
steadily from 16 cents per
dozen to a premium Offering.
AS quoted in the Philadelphia
market the price in second
hand cases is 261a cents but
80 cents has been offered here
for some time and as that did
not bring the supply the mer-
chants paid last week "a
cents per dozen wholesale.
Those in this section who
have retained their laying
hens are now reaping a profit
as the price of feed is low.

PLANS APPROVED FOR
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Four New Buildings VIII Be Started
In Near Future

Plans for starting work on fOul
new school houses and at least one
addition to school, were started by
the State Board of Education at its
meeting at Dover last Friday. The
addition to the Lewes school was
approved and plans were ordered.
The commission for this work is
composed of Dr. James Beebe, Law
renee Knots, Edwin C. Marshall and
w. J. Warren. Dr. Beebe was elect
cd president of the commission; E.
A. Simon member of the State
Board vice-president DR.. H. V.
Holloway secretary and E. c. Mar
shall acting secretary.
Plans for the new school at Selby-
Vile were approved and bids for con-
structing the building were asked
for November 10. Laurel and Lin
coin asked permission to make some
few changes in furnishings of those
schools.
Approval of building plans for
schools at Hockessin Yorklyn and
Dagsboro were approved and bids
will be asked in a short time.
Rules concerning buses used in
the transportation of children to
schools were adopted. They are
stronger than the old rules and in
tended to make transportation safer
for children.
1t was announced that efforts to
obtain a supply of water for Rose
Hill school had failed. The arrange
ment has now been made with the
city of Wilmington to extend it's
lines to the school house. This will
cost about $4,000 but will furnish
a good supply of water.

THIS MAN FEARED
BANKS, THIEVES TOOK IT
Newspaper Tells What Happened TO
Man Who Carried Money Around

An Elkton, Md. newspaper last
week carried story telling Of the
robbing of a farmer who carried his
money with him rather than keep it
in a bank. The story follows:
Albert Barrett, farmer near Elk
ton, Md, was robbed of about $1,000
a few days ago. He was stripping
fodder when the attack occurred.
His assailants, it is alleged, ap
preached from behind through the
cornfeld and seized him. AS one
held him the other threw the snuff
into his eyes, after which they easily
extracted the money from his pocket
and fled, leaving Barrett blinded and
writhing on the ground.

young Densmore Shute. They
played Hagen's arch rival, George

against Bill Burke and Witty Cox.
The Americans were expected to
win. They had everything in their
favor. While the teams, inherently,
were Of equal potentiauties, the
United States players were using
their own balloon ball, playing un-

they were accustomed, and COM
