PRISONERS BOARD LESS
Levy Court Reduces the Allowance
From so to 80 Cents Per Day

At the regular weekly meeting
Of the Sussex County Levy Court
the members of that body voted to
reduce the allowance for prisoners
board, beginning last Friday, July
1st. For the past several years
the Sheriff of Sussex County has
been allowed so cents a day for
the board of each prisoner in his
custody. Beginning Friday, the
allowance will be 80 cents per day
for each prisoners maintenance
This action has been contemplated
by the Levy Court for some time,
and action was taken at this time
because of their belief that the
Sheriff can feed the prisoners Just
as good as in the past at much
lower figure. The members of the
Levy Court also named Charles
Higman, of Milford, bridgetender
at Cedar Creek, near Fort Sails
bury. The job pays $50 per month.
Announcement was made by the
Levy Court that work of repairing
the road and wharf at the old light
house at the entrance of the Mis-
pillion River has been completed.

States, including Pennsylvania,
Maryland, New Jersey, New York
and Virginia, have enacted regula-
tions providing that cattle must
have passed a negative blood test
for Bangs abortion disease before
entering those States, in order to
protect the cattle in the State of
Delaware, and to prevent the ship
ment into this State of cattle that
are not acceptable in other nearby
States, the Delaware State Board
of Agriculture has enacted regula-
tions requiring that cattle entering
Delaware must have passed a neg
ative blood test and meet certain
requirements in regard to Bangs
abortion disease. Bangs abortion
disease is becoming as important a
factor in the production of healthy
cattle as tuberculosis was before
the latter disease was eradicated
from so many herds of cattle, and
the Board strongly urges Delaware
farmers who are purchasing cattle
from other States to make sure
that they can obtain a proper
health chart covering both the tu-
berculosis and Bangs disease re-
quirements. Anyone desiring furth-
er information, or copies of the
following regulation, may obtain
them from the State Board of Ag-
riculture, Dover.

 At Cordova fish are plentiful and canneries are busy. At Sel- dcvia, there is no sign of depres- sion. A new clam cannery was started there this Spring that em- ploys 30 diggers.

 Bill Bean, of Rake, Alaska, re- gently located ravens nest with eggs and brought them into town to prove that he had found the birds nesting place. It is true that there are great many ravens even around Petersburg, but where do they propagate? The old Indian belief is that they lay their eggs late in the fall among the high rocks and the young are matched by the cold north Taku wind hit ting them. Only a very few per sons have been able to locate the nesting places of this bird but it seems that they must be doing well, as every year there seems to be a greater number.
