FORMER MILFORD PASTOR
WRITES IN VERSE
DIR. l.. p. Bowen, Now Nearing Cen
fury Mark, Tells OF "BlackWater
Memories"

Active, in spite of ninety-nint
years of age, DR.. L. P. Bowen, Of
Berlin, Md, recently wrote of his
early experiences in the ministry
DR.. Bowen at one time was pastor ol
the Presbyterian Church in Milford
: The poetry entitled "BlackwatsI
Memories" was read at Blackwatel
| Church October II, at the annual
services of that historic editice. The
verses are interesting to the hun
dreds of friends of the aged minis
ter, especially to those living in
: Milford, Frankford, Ocean View,
Dagsboro, and other southern Della
, ware towns. It follows:
'BIackWater Memories"
Twas Seventy-one far years ago,
So fast the seasons reach,
When in the old Blackwater Church,
Stood forth two boys to preach
Two awkward Seminary Mates,
Wolfe and Bowen Licentiates.
The Cody Pastor Mustard,
Had helped to license them,
And now the Boys first Preaching.
Was to be done for him;
Facing the audience with their
fears,
There stood the youthful Pulpiteers.
There in the pews before them,
Sat the servants of the Lord,
Solid old Presbyterians,
Well-posted in the Word;
While the solemn congregation
hears,
The two Apprentice Ministers.
And Bowen had eight sermons,
And three that Wolfe had made,
Eight Sermons altogether,
Such was their stock in trade;
If these ran out before it's through,
What under Heaven were they to
do?.
But Mustard did lots of praying,
The splendid audience, too,-
And in spite of Youngsters weak
ness,
The deepening interest grew;
If Revival, then no doubt,
That stock of sermons must run
out.
Young fellows scared to death,
Prepared almost to run,
Afraid of Revival.
And the Meeting to run on;
A State Election near by arises,
And saves the Youngsters from the
crisis,
And souls were there convicted,
AS it was found ere long,
God using still the weak things,
To overcome the strong;
God using that good Meeting
through,
70 strengthen those young Preach
ers, too.
When we have passed the Portals,
And safe in Paradise,
What crowds of old Blackwater
Saints,
Will meet above the skies
he Halls promoted in their prime,
md Tunnels of the olden time.
'lackwater, dear Blackwater,
Surviving from the past,
antilles saved and sanctified,
In happy numbers vast;
'hOu hast fought the fight and kept
the Faith,
md stood triumphant over death.
he Bible wants her Heroes,
Equipped and in the van;
rue to the Faith inherited,
Be strong and play the man;
esus is coming bye and bye,
1e must not let His Churches die. ,

~%A%%A~~

On Monday, October 26, Mrs. DonnelI Marshall
will begin her canvass of the town, calling on the
housewives in solicitation of trade for the new
laundry
The plant will be called "The Milford Laundry"
and very fortunate in securing the services of Mrs.
Marshall, she knows the town people, and is her
self so favoraby known
Likewise the choice of manager, is an asset to
the enterprise, for Henry Bennett will act in that
capacity
Mr.. Bennett is also we'll known to the public for
in his years with the late Joseph E. Holland he earned
and won the confidence and esteem of those with
whom he came in contact.
He is capable and efficiently able to act as busi-
manager of the new plant, and has his entire
corps of workers selected thus hoping others will
not apply for jobs
The owner and proprietor, G. P. Carey, extends
greetings and invites one and all to be patron for
he is happy that with his spendidIy installed
modern machinery, expert operators and sanitary
work room, the results will be par excellence

DOC CALLS. HELP
FOR MISTRESS

A small tousled-haired dog
yesterday repaid his mistress love
by saving her life when she was
nearly overcome by leaking gas.
Mrs. Edna Powers, 20, of 1888
Thirteenth st. N. W., owns a
little dog which until yesterday
was a model of canine deport-
ment.
Yesterday, however, the dog
departed from his usual good
behavior and started barking in
the lobby Of the apartment.
. Attaches of the apartment went
to Mrs. Powers apartment to
notify her Of her dogs actions.
Joseph Randall, colored janitor
of the apartment, knocked on her
door for several minutes and then
broke in and discovered Mrs.
Powers slumped unconscious on
the floor of the apartment.
Gas was escaping from three
Jets of q stove in the kitchen.

Eat Everything
without Fear
of Indigestion

Are there lots of foods you can't eat
for fear of gas, bloating, pains in
the stomach and bowelsl
Do you have to, pass up favorite
dishes-while the rest enjoy themr
That's sign you need Tanlac! For
more than ten years Tanlac has re-
stored to vigorous health thousands
who denied themselves their favorite
foods just as you have to.
Mrs. .Arvena Bowers, of 1890 Jackson
ST., Topeka, Kans., says: Five years
l was troubled with gas, bloating and
dizzy spells. But Tanlac toned up my
whole system and increased my weight
10 lbs."
If you suffer from indigestion, gas,
dizziness, headaches, constipation or
torpid liver-give Tanlac chance to
help you! The first bottle often brings
the needed relief.
Tanlac is a good, pure medicine,
made of roots, barks, and herbs that
are recognized by the United States
Pharmacopoeia. Get it from your
druggist today. Your money back It
it doesn't help you.

Party disruption and disaster
will follow in the wake Of any
attempt of the Democratic party
to make prohibition the para,
mount issue" in 1882, according
to Representative w. A. Ayres
CD of Kansas.
Representative Ayres sends this
warning to the Raskob-Shouse fac
ton Of the Democracy with his
compliments. AS the one con-
sistent Democratic winner OF bal,
lots in the Sunflower State-for
more than a decade he was re-
garded as the sum total Of the
party of his State-his words
have a significantly acid touch
to party leaders.
Calls 1t False Issue ,
Representative Ayres says:
GAS a national issue, to be
passed upon by national con
ventiOn of the party, "Or to be
inserted in the platform upon
which our candidate for Pres
ident shall run, prohibition is
false and a sham.
"Tf prohibition is to be
political issue at all, it should
be such only in the respective
States and congressional dis
tricts, for 1T is the Senators and
Representatives in Congress
who vote upon the proposed
submission of constitutional
amendments. Those who Op-
pose repeal or modification
should pursue the same course.
"They should not seek to
pursue a course that would
threaten to disrupt any political
party which takes a definite
and arbitrary stand either for
or against the Eighteenth
Amendment. There is no doubt
that an effort to write a repeal
plank into the Democratic plat
form would lead to disaster for
our campaign in 1882"

Thus Representative Ayres
who knows the corn belt as few
men in public life know it
throws down the gauntlet to thu
Eastern vets Of the Democratic
party, with whose cause Jouet
Shouse, a fellow-Kansan, is nov
allied.
His views are in line with thost
who are massing their supper
for Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt

nomination-the leaders wit

The League of Nations has re-

Explaining Article 68 of the pro-

declared:
"Article 68 does not destroy
the sovereignty of the Court.
1t leaves the Court discretion in
applying to the advisory pro-
cedure of the Court the same
procedure as relates to cOnten-

"The Court remains the final
judge of the advisory procedure.
The article does not constitute
