Quitmeyer Man Breaks Leg

Last Saturday night Frel Henke
of Dagmar had the misfortune to
break his right leg at the hip. 1t
seems that Mr.. Henke was carry
ing a SHUTTLE of coal up from the
basement when he tripped over the
bucket and fell in such a manner
as to cause the break. He was at
once brought to the Memorial hos
pital where he is receiving the
best of care.

.LECCE WILLQUIT
FEDERAL BOARD

Chicago, Feb. IT, Alexander
Legge will retire from the chair
manship of the federal farm board
shortly after March A to re-enter
the International Harvester COM
pany it has been unofficially an
nounced.
Mr.. Legge became chairman of
the board July 1, 1929. At that
time it was stated that he proba-
bly, would not retain the post more
than a year, as the International
Harvester company, which loaned
him to the government, desired
his return to its service. Mr.. Leg
ge then felt a year was all he
could devote to the craftsmanship.
Frequent attacks on his handling
of the wheat situation have been
made by representatives of farm
er groups and others. To all crit
les he has replied vigorously. But
many of his associates believe the
attacks influenced his decision tc
retire from public service, which
in his opinion does not always re
ceive merited popular support.
At the White House today it was
said the president has received M
notice of Mr.. Legge's intention tt
retire March and the chairman
was represented at the board a.
mot having the slightest idea o.
when he will quit"
Legge always has "run his owl
show" He has issued only two o
three statements at the sugges
ton of the president and never
say farm board attaches, has bee
asked to submit his plans befOr
acting upon them. His friends sa
he had the presidents support a
every turn.

SEATTLE PAPER SAYS MUSSOLINI
CAR RAN DOWN AND KILLED CHILD

big noise from an automobile, and
a cry in the street made US come
out in the plaza. The daughter of
Santini from Stallone, child of
six years was run over by an au-
tomobile running at high speed,
which in turning q crossing on a
certain curb, by a miracle it did
not go to pieces against the wall
tina twas in front of the crossing,
and in the turning and going a
cross the plaza it hit the child,
who was crossing the plaza-the
plaza in San Quirito.
You know on Sundays there are
always people, and several of them
recognized Mussolini holding the
steering wheel of the automobile,
which contained two other per-
sons and did not stop. A little
while later another automobile
with the public agent came alons
and seeing this gathering of GROVE
around this child, who was gravely
wounded, it stopped to see wha'
had happened.
Everybody was decrying 'Duce'
but at the appearance of the Pc
lice they were very cautious: Onl!
Pullucca and Lazzerini stupidity re
peated that they had recognizes
the 'Duce.'
"The agent took the child ant
carried it to Grosseto. The chill
died the following day but OF tn
two men there is nothing NOR
known about them.

] spirited away. / pray you not {
tell this story TO anyone, becaus

REJECTS HOLLAND HOME
Milford Citizens Turns Down Prop
erty For Municipal Park

Milford, by a referendum vote of
282 to 81, decided at an election
Friday not to purchase the old Hol-
land mansion and grounds which is
to be sold at public sale to close
the Hollnd estate, which IS to be
offered at public sale on August
25. Sometime ago it was propos-
ed to the town council that the
property be purchased by the city
of Milford and retained for public
purposes. The members of coun-
Gil did not care to take the re-
sponsibility and called for refer
endum which was held Friday. 1t
is claimed that several things op-
Grated against the proposal to pur-
chase the property. AS the prop
erty is to be sold at public sale
there was no way to fix a price
which was to be paid. In addition
to this opposition there were many
who felt that the considerable
amount of money which it would
have cost to purchase the property
could be better expended in i'm

MANY DELAWARE PEACHES
Housewives Are Buying Them for
Canning-Quality Peach Crop On

Delaware growers this year
have even exceeded their enviable
position in producing high quality
peaches. Any one who is travel
ing along the highways in the
peach producing sections of this
State cannot help noticing the
beautiful, high colored fruit that is
hanging on the trees. The peaches
this year are clean, free from de-
fects, and most attractive in ap-
pearance. The producers have
sprayed their trees, fertilized, cul-
tivated, and pruned them in order
to be able to furnish to the con-
sumner the quality Of fruit that will
be acceptable to them, and they
have certainly succeeded. At the
present time, Georgia Belle, which
is a white peach, is being marketed
heavily and during this week the
Elberta, which is a yellow peach,
will be on the market. Under pres
ent conditions and in view of the
immediate outlook not a single one
of these peaches should be allowed
to go to waste. Many housewives
have gotten away from the habit
of canning their own fruits and
vegetables; however, it does seem,
in view of the bountious crop this
year, that the housewife would do
well to put up an abundant quan-
tity of this fruit not only to help
save the crop and to provide
market for the producer, but also
in order that they might have a
good supply of canned peaches
during the coming winter. Some
may not have money to give to the
unemployed or to hungry families
during the coming winter, but do
not forget that it might be possible
to present them with one or more
cans Of peaches which will prove
very acceptable, and a few cans of
home canned peaches would be
very acceptable to our hospitals on
Donation Day. According to W.T..
Derickson, Director, Bureau of
Markets, State Board of Agricul-
ture, Delaware growers have pro-
duced for market about 600 or 700
carloads of this delicious fruit. The
price is not high and at the pres
ent time peaches can be purchased
from Csc to S1.25 per bushel, ac-
cording to variety, size, and grade.
Certainly consumers should take
advantage Of these prices and
should make an effort to visit the
peach orchards at the present time
and secure supply for not only
their own winter requirements, but
enough to supply some, at least, to
persons who may be in need.
