PATENTED PROCESS
BRINGS OUT finer
FLAVOR IN COFFEE
Controlled Roasting Gives
Hills Bros. Coffee Flavor
No Other Coffee Has

AS everybody knows, the flavor
of coffee varies according to the
way it is brewed. Especially dis
appointing is the result when
coffee stays on the fire too long
or is taken off too soon.
Similar unsatisfactory results
can occur in the roasting of coffee.
If the blend is roasted too long or
not enough there is a noticeable
difference in flavor between the two
lots. Even with watchful care such
variation is exceedingly difficult to
prevent when coffee is roasted in
large quantities.
Realizing this, Hills Bros. origi-
mated and patented q continuous
process which roasts coffee a few
pounds at. a time, instead of in bulk.
The quantity of coffee passing into
the roaster does not vary. The
speed of operation and the tempera-
ture remain the same with the
result that Hills Bros. Coffee is
absolutely uniform and has a
flavor no other coffee has.
Hills Bros. Coffee never "goes
stale" because it is packed in
vacuum. By this process air, which
destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken
from the can and kept out. Or
dinary cans, even if air-tight, do
not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills
Bros. Coffee by name and look for
the Arab-the trade-mark--on
the can. Sold by grocers every
where.

manner.

beauties of the northern California

Brice Canyon country and numer-
Gus other delightful scenic points.
He asserted the most beneficial
vacation is that taken into country
enc has not seen before and stated
that the west contains sufficient
variety of natural wonders to sat-
isfy all tastes.

scribed by Harris instead of being
harnessed to business.

married at Belair, Md, and that
they have no children and no COM
munity property Mrs. Grier was
granted the divorce on Monday of
this week Mr.. and Mrs Grier
were parties last year to the larg
est and one of the most sensational
suits for alienation of affections
ever heard in Delaware courts, in
which George H. Draper, Jr., Mrs.
Grier's first husband, won verdict
of $4,000 from Harold G. Grier,
her second husband. The amount
originally asked was $4,000, which
was quickly awarded by the jury,
but after an appeal was taken the
amount was reduced to S35, 900.
When the verdict in the Draper
suit was announced the court room
was crowded, due partly to the So
cial prominence of all the parties
concerned. Mrs. Grier was Miss

Smyrna. She is a sister of Mrs.

MAN PASSES BOGUS SIS NOTES
Girl at st. Georges Detected Dis
crepancy and Police Summoned

Charged with passing counter
felt money, man giving his name
as Medford Mann, 40 years old, of
Baltimore, Md, was arrested at
Duck Creek, and taken to Middle
town, by State Highway Police
man Sullivan last Wednesday
night. When search it was found
the man carried thirteen counter
felt So notes and had 289 genuine
one dollar notes in his possession.
He was arrested following inform
alton received from secret service
operatives in Philadelphia who said
man was operating between Phil
adelphia and Baltimore and oper-
ated mostly at filling stations
where he made thirty cent pur-
chase and then rendered S5 note
in payment The police learned
that Mann ran past the Lester
Garage, near st. Georges, and
stopped his car about hundred
yards below the garage. He walk
ed back and remarked to Gertrude
Lester, who was in the store in the
absence of her father, Samuel Les
/ ter, that he had not noticed that
they sold cigars. He. bought sew
eral cigars and a pack of cigar
cites receiving change for a five
dollar BILL After he left, Miss
Lester noticed that the bill was not
as thick as a genuine bill and that
the eyes of Lincoln were bleared.
Becoming suspicious she called
Janvier Kumpel who runs gar
age further down the road. He
said that Mann had made exactly
the same remarks and purchases
at his garage. Jerry Sullivan, of
the State Highway police, was in
the Kumpel Garage at the time
and he told Kumpel to notify the
highway police station while he
went after the man. A short time
after Sullivan left Lieutenant Cole
and six other members of the State
Highway police went after him.
They caught up with Mann at the
/ Goldsborough garage, one mile
north of Smyrna, and made the
arrest. Among places said to have
been swindled in this State by the
man were the Lester Garage at st.
Georges; Crumpton Garage, at
Delaware Beach road; Nelson Gar
age, st. Georges; Pierce Filling
Station, Blackbird, and a garage
near the Owl Inn. Mann was al
legged to have also stopped at Har-
ry Gray's store, Fred Sutton's
store and Webers Inn, in St.
Georges. He is said to have fol-
lowed the same procedure in each
store. The police say the man left
a trail of bad five-dollar notes all
the way from Baltimore to the
place where he was captured.

STATE BEETLE QUARANTINE
TO Be STRICTLY ENFORCED
OFFICE AT DOVER OPEN
EVERY DAY FROM 8 TO 5
Enforcement to Center in New
Jersey Regulations Into Eff
feet June the Fifteenth

With the approach of spring, the
Department of Agriculture is pre-
pairing to enforce strictly its Jap
anese beetle quarantine which af-
fects the shipment of plant goods
from New Jersey. A revision of
the quarantine area was announc-
ed last fall to include the state of
Rhode Island, additional parts of
Delaware, Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The Japanese beetle was first dis
covered in New Jersey a dozen
years ago, and efforts looking to-
ward it's determination or check
have centered in that State. New
Jersey is located in the center of
the heavily infested area and all
plant life moving in and out of the
State during the summer season
must pass governmental inspec-
ton. At the close of the 1880 sea-
son, the Department of Agricul-
ture announced the work of regu-
lation had progressed to such
point in New Jersey that the beetle
was less prevalent than in some of
the more recently infested area.
Little hope was held out, however,
/ for determination of the pest. AL
though stringent regulations do
not go into effect until June Is,
year around precautionary meas
ures are used to protect non-in-
months fruit and some plants may
be moved without inspection. Dur
ing the summer, all plants and soil
must undergo treatment before
passing quarantine boundaries. The
Secretary of Agriculture is given
entire authority to determine
which areas shall be placed under
restriction. New Jersey, Connec-
ticut and Rhode Island are the
only entire states to be included in
the quarantine areas. Notice has
been given by the japanese Beetle
Quarantine Bureau that the quar-
antine on nursery stock, plants,
earth, peat compost and manure is
in effect throughout the entire year
and any one desiring to take plants
into that part of Sussex county not
under quarantine or into Maryland,
must first obtain a certificate from
the Japanese Beetle office in Dover
or from the parties from whom
they are buying their plants, as the
authorities do not desire to con
fscate any plants from people and
are only working to prevent the
spread Of the Japanese Beetle in
the outside territory The office at
Dover is open every day between 8
a. m. and p. m, except Sunday.

With More to Be Added in Budget
The House bill to provide $780,
600 to erect a new building at the
Delaware State Hospital at Farm
hurst was passed by the Senate
Monday afternoon without opposi-
tion. DR.. M. A. Tarumianz, SUI
perintendent of the hospital said
the building was a part of the gen
eral plan and would aid unemploy-
ment at this time. The Senate
also passed the House bill appro-
priating S11, 900 to buy additional
land for the use of the hospital.
The trustees are asking an addi-
tional 1881 900 for buildings but
the budget committee has not yet
approved the additional appropria-
tion. There is considerable oppo-
sition to the measure. The Senate
passed the House bill apropriating
$4,000 for a new building at the
Women's College of the Univers-
ity of Delaware.
