NOTICE TO
MILK CONSUMERS

We, the undersigned dairymen,
believe clean, wholesome milk to
be the biggest money value the
consumer receives. COMPLYING
with the State Board of Health
regulations requires adequate
equipment. that bottles, utensils
and other equipment are adequate
ly cleaned and sterilized. All such
equipment costs money and requir-
es additional work and expense.
The price of milk in SMYRNA as
compared with:
Dover, 13c quart, 7c pint
Middletown, 15c and 13c quart
Harrington, 12c quart
Milford, 12c quart
Lewis, lac quart
Rehoboth, 14c quart
Laurel, lac quart
Delmar, lac quart, SC pint
Seaford, lac quart
Georgetown, 12c quart
Wilmington, 15c and 13c quart
New Castle. 13c quart. 7c pint
Delaware City. 13c quart
Newark, BE quart, &c pint
This indicates that the prices
are relatively low in Smyrna.
We feel the necessity of main
tanning constant yearly supply,
coupled with the present cost of
feed, justify US in continuing the
present price level of 12c a quart.

cast his, or her, ballot in the favor
of these men with the complete as
surance that they will be further
ing the best interests of Smyrna; !;
that the immediate future will be
safe in their hands. The above
mentioned candidates propose to
provide a sinking fund, from the
present Town revenues, to regu-
larly retire the bonded indebted
ness. Further than this, they are
not on record as approving, or dis
approving, any of the present
methods, now in force, of conduct
ing town affairs. They will no
doubt, use the very best of their
business judgment for the mutual
benefit of the residents and tax
payers of Smyrna. Rumors are
already being circulated, stating
that drastic changes will be
brought about if the progressive
element in Smyrna are successful,
in electing to Office such candidates
as have already been named It
is fair to assume, that these rum
ors are being uttered because of a
personal motive in view, and are
without even the slightest founda-
tion of actual truth Certainly
the voters of Smyrna will not lis
ten to such propaganda, dealing in
personal matters, when the town
stands in urgent need of a business
administration. Progress is not
brought about by living in the
past. What the people of Smyrna
should desire is to forget the past
and live for the future, guaging
their acts so that the Town will
progress more rapidly and, at the
same time, the bonded indebted /
ness will be going through the
process of reduction by the appli-
cation of judicious and level-head- /
I'd business methods Upon this
stand taken, the voters of Smyrna
ire urged to support in the coming
election Geo. r. Stevenson, Geo.W.

HOUSE SCORED
FOR CONFUSION
0utburst Caused When Bill
Once Killed, Comes Up.

The Indiana house was scored
today for the existing confusion
and indecision" by Representative
James M. Knapp (Wayne), RepubI-
can floor leader, and following dis
covery that a house bill which was
postponed indefinitely had been
sent on to third reading.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the house when Repre-
sentative, Eugene Martin Denl.,
Allen asked reconsideration of the
Gwin bill which would provide pay
ment to the secretary Of state for
a 25-cent service charge on all auto
mobile licenses issued. This would
replace the rotarization fee.
Martin declared the house judi
ciary A committee had recon-
mended indefinite postponement Of
the measure on an unanimous re-
port. He said that to his surprise"
he found the printed bill on his
desk and learned that it was ready
for third reading and passage.
Members Of the committee con-
f1rned Martins statement and de-
clared it was a clerical error.
Aroused over the mix-up, Knapp,
on point of personal. privilege,
criticised conduct Of the house this
session.
"Never in my seven sessions in
this assembly have I seen as much
indecision and existing confusion as
at present" Knapp declared.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Overcom-
ing early efforts or renewed profit
taking and professional selling, the
stock market pushed ahead again
today, with gains around noon rang
ing from fraction to several points.
The market was unsettled through
the first two hours by sharp breaks
in recent favorites such as Auburn,
]. /. Case, Westinghouse and Radio
Corporation. Losses ran as high as
4 points.
Toward the end of the second
hour, however, selling dried up and
strength appeared. Auburn, which
had sold down Az points to 2O514,
recovered to above the 30 level.
Similar con1ebacks occurred in other
leaders with early losses being re-
placed by substantial gains.
Heavy Buying Appears
simultaneously, special buying
developed in variety of pool IA
vcrites. Gillette spurted more than
a point, despite suspension Of the
common dividend and heavy buy
ing appeared in other low priced
shares such as Kroger, Anaconda,
Pullman, Columbia Graphophore,
United Corporation and Sinclair.
Action of Steel common and other
hgh-grade issues was reassuring.
Selling ex-dividend, Steel met strong
support around the 149 level in the
early dealings, a loss of only a
fraction. With the better tone in
the market toward. Eoon, the issue
crossed the $50 mark. Westing-
house Electric, American Can, Van
adium and Bethlehem likewise made
up early losses and moved above
their previous closing levels and to
levels not far from their highes of
the year.
CopperS Advance
Coppers particularly were prom"
i1lent o athe late morning rally,
most shares moving ahead spirited
ly on reports of further strengthen
ing of the copper price structure
and possibilities Of an advance from
the current 10A cents pound level.
Smelling, Anaconda, Kennecott and
Nevada all moved into new high
ground on the current movement.
Oils again were featured by heavy
buying of Sinclair, which held only
fractionally under the. high for the
year Of 1873, made in the preceding
session. Utilities were less buoyant,
but were able to make good progress
under the leadership of Consolidated
Gas.

UNEVEN ACTION
is FEATURE OF
GRAIN MARKET
Future Prices Irregular on
Foreign Pressure in
Wheat Trade.
By United Press

BY Cntted PTesS
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Wheat held
nearly steady at the opening on the
Board of Trade today. Treasured
by the action at Liverpool, operators
did not press the selling side. Trade
was light and slow, most traders
preferring to await Developments.
Foreign countries fear dumping by
the sterilization corporation, and as
a result there was more pressure
from Australian and Russian wheat,
but Liverpool took the selling cas-
lily. Demand, however. is limited
pending more definite word as to
how the government will move its
wheat.
BuenOs Aires Lower
Corn was irregular with Sep
TENDER acting strong Oats we're
unevenly lower with the other grains
and on long selling.
At the opening old wheat was Il
cent lower to Is cent higher, new
wheat was unchanged to i cent off;
corn was 4 cent lower to % cent
higher, and oats were unchanged to
Z cent lower. Provisions were firm.
Liverpool did not act frightened
by the announcement and the de-
cline was in accord with the drop
here Thursday. At nid-afternoon
the English market was OF to
rs cents. Buenos Aires started q
cent lower. While the action by the
corporation indicates there will be
no cut-throat competition between
competing countries, the trade feels
that the high quality Of American
wheat will restrict the demand for
Manitobas. An erratic market is
expected with some predictions be-
ing heard of 50-cent prices for the
new crop unless broad export de-
mand develops. Some snow re-
ported in the American northwest
overnight, but otherwise American
weather continues spring like.
Trading Is Slow
Corn has shown good resistance.
1t is effected more by the action of
wheat than any other influence.
Traders are going slow, due to the
fact that private estimates on the
stock on farms will be released next
Monday. The record breaking 400
900, 000-bushel crop in Argentina
failed to have an effect Thursday.
Persistent selling of March oats
on small bulges is the feature OF
the oats trading. Cash houses are
taking these efforts to secure the
cash article and are selling May
contracts.

HUNT DEATH SPOT
Seek to Find Site Where
Woman Was Killed.
By United Press

By United Press
ELIZABETH, N. j., Feb. 81
Efforts centered today on attempts
to discover exactly where Mrs.
Phoebe Stader was killed SO prose-
cution of William B. Frazer on
charges of killing her may be
started. n
Frazer, who was returned today
from Raleigh, N. c., had admitted
accidentally shooting the woman
with whom he had been friendly,
but claimed he is not certain where
the shooting occurred.
Uncertainty as to where the
woman was killed is based on the
fact that Frazer and Mrs. Stader
were en- route through New. Jersey
in a motor car at the time of the
shooting.
