WOMEN'S KITCHEN PROBLEM
Rural Clubs Being Organized in
Kent to Tighten Their Burdens

The biggest problem before the
farm women today is to make her
kitchen work easier since over so
per cent of her time is spent in
preparing and clearing away
meals. Miss Louise r. Whitcomb,
Home Demonstration Agent for
Kent County, is discussing that
subject this month with her exten-
sion groups and suggesting various
ways of saving steps and time.
The biggest single convenience in
the kitchen, she says, is running
mater and proper waste disposal.
Good ventilation and good light,
both natural and artificial are two
more important items. And work
ing tables and sink of correct
heights and grouped closely to-
gether save many step and back
ache. Glass members have been
interested in drawing diagrams of
their own kitchens to see how bet
ter grouping of equipment might
be done. To encourage these
changes for more convenient work
shops a contest will be started
soon. Any one is eligible to join
whether club member or not. All
interested should get in touch at
once with Miss Whitcomb at the
post office building. The first
scoring of these contest kitchens
will take place during the first
part of August. Mrs. Helen Nc
Kinley, State Leader of Home
Demonstration Work, will make the
first scoring and final judging.
Contest will extend over a period
of three months and awards based
on the amount of improvement
made. Two meetings of interest
Tuesday and Friday of last week
were held at Harrington and Do
yer by Mrs. Helen Mckinley, State
Leader of Home Demonstration
Work, Newark. Leaders were
present from ten communities and
received instructions on the MAX
ing of many small kitchen conven-
fences. Communities represented
were Oak Grove, Milford, Smyrna,
Cheswold, Hartly, Hazlettville,
Pennington, Rising Sun, FELTON,,

who are selling their whole milk
through this organization will be
interested to learn of the market
ing prospects during the coming
year and the general trend of the
dairy industry in the future. New
Developments in Quality Control
Requirements" which will also be
of direct concern to all dairymen
in this territory, will be presented
by c. 1. Cohee, Secretary of the
Philadelphia Interstate Dairy
Council, who has been connected
with this organization for a num-
ber of years, and who has accom-
plished some very outstanding re-
suits in increasing the consump-
ton of whole milk in Philadelphia
and in other cities. In addition to
these two addresses, a humorous
lecture entitled, "Some Biting Re-
marks" will be delivered by Hap
py" Goldsmith, who is well known
to many of the dairymen in this
section of the county as he has ap-
peared at previous meetings in this
state, and his talks are always
greatly enjoyed by both adults and
children. The play which will be
presented in connection with this
program is termed the Second
Trial of Bill Shiftless," which was
written for the Interstate Dairy
Council, and which will be given
by a cast COMPOSED of officials and
representatives of this organiza-
ton. Those dairymen and their
families who were present at a
similar meeting which was held in
Smyrna several years ago will re-
call the First Trial of Bill Shift
less and the program on Friday
evening of this week promises to
surpass anything that has ever
been given at an agricultural
meeting in this vicinity.

KENT-SUSSEX FAIR CLOSES
Declared to Have Been One of Best
Mrs. Harvey FARRELL Wins Auto

Automobile races on the dirt
track brought the twelfth annual
Kent and Sussex Fair to a close
at Harrington Saturday afternoon.
Shortly after midnight Saturday
night the Vests World Wonder
Shows had all of their equipment
off the lot and loaded for Frederick
Md, and the community was able
to return to normalcy. The fair
has become such large event that
this community is transferred into
a small city overnight. The hotel
and boarding houses were taxed to
capacity and hundreds of the peo-
pie connected with the fair sought
quarters in private homes. Fair
officials declare that they have ex-
perienced one of the most success
full years in history. 1t was also
said that the oft repeated state
ment still holds good, that it does
not rain during Fair Week. The
poultry show this year contained
more than 500 birds in 300 entries.
w. D. Scott, superintendent of the
department, assisted by Raymond
NJ. Heald, of West Chester, Pa. and
w. D. Scott, Jr., made the awards.
AS one of the closing events, Mrs.

automobile that was given away.

ADJUTANT GENERAL STATUS
FOR DELAWARE IN COURT
MAJOR STOVER, NOW IN OF
FICE, MUST DEFEND CLAIM
Ellison, Formally Files His Com
plaint-Case Returnable Aug. II.
War Department Recognition

The Superior Court of Kent
County Monday issued a rule OF
quo warranto directing Weller E.
Slower to show by what warrant
and authority he claims to hold the
office of adjutant general of Della
ware. The rule was made return
able on August IL on which date
Slower must file pleadings or de-
murrer in the case. Chief Justice
James Pennewill and Judges Her
bert l.. Rice and Richard H. Rod
ney were on the bench. Attorney
General Reuben Satterthwaite, Jr.,
represented Slower and James R.
Morford represented ]. Austin Ell
lison who has been replaced as ad-
jutant general by Slower at the di-
rection of Governor @. Douglass
Buck. The complaint of Ellison
was filed with seven supporting
affidavits by James R. Morford, his
counsel. AS the court will be on
vacation when the answer is filed,
it is not likely that the case will
be heard until September 10 when
the court resumes its sessions. In
the meantime J. Austin Ellison,
whose rank as Adjutant General of
Delaware, is now being questioned
in court, is not recognized by the
War Department at Washington
as holder of that Office, it was
learned Saturday A notice to
this effect, dated July %, has been
received by the Adjutant Generals S
Office from the War Department,
Militia Bureau, says: The records
of the Militia have been amended
to show that the status of j. A.
Ellison as Lieutenant Colonel, Ad-
jutant General Department, of the
active National Guard of Delaware,
was terminated on the third of
July, 1881, on account of being re-
lieved as adjutant general, execu-
tive order, Delaware, 1881. Will
liam G. Everson, Chief, Militia Bu-
reau." The rank of Adjutant Gen
eral of the Delaware National
Guard is equivalent to that of lieu
tenant-colonel at the War Depart
ment. Weller E. Slower, appointed
to the Adjutant General post by
Governor Buck, is recognized as
major, by the War Department by
virtue of his position as United
States Property and Disbursing
Officer in Delaware. Years ago
he was lieutenant-colonel. The
appointment of Major Slower as
adjutant general will not raise him
to the rank of lieutennt colonel at
Washington unless he formally ap-
plies for the rank. Any such ac-
tion is being held in allegiance. it is
believed, pending the decision of
the State courts as to his author
ity to hold the office of adjutant
general.
