MARYLAND MAN
GETS Is YEARS
MSTATEPRISON
[COHfinued from First Page1


COsten, wife of the assistant cashier,
was convicted, alleged she informed
the state bank examiner, month
before the bank was closed by the
board of directors, that the over
drafts were 1922, when actually the
figures were more than $4,000"
and for failure to state the names of
the two largest depOsitors of the
bank in the list of ten furnished the
bank examiner. On indictments
charging the woman with larceny of
the banks funds and conspiracy, the
state later declined to offer testimony
and the court entered a verdict of
not guilty in each instance.
Tried Monday afternoon on two in
dictments, COsten was freed in each
case. One alleged lie violated the
state banking laws in accepting a
deposit with the knowledge that the
bank was insolvent.
The court held the state did not
produce sufficient proof that COsten
knew the alleged insOlvent condition
of the institution when he took the
deposit on the same day the bank
was closed.
The state continued indictments
alleging three instances of larceny
and four violations of the state bank
ing laws.
White faces one indictment for
larceny and one for banking law yio-
latiOns.

EXPLAIN STATE LAW
ON SALE OF SEED
[COnfinued from First Pagel

for placing it upon the market.
Farmers selling seeds produced
on their own farms to other farmers
are exempt from these requirements
provided they do not ship such seeds
by mail or by any common carrier"
This exemption is intended to make
il possible for one farmer to pur-
chase from another without unnec-
essary expense to either, the seed of
a crop which he may have observed
during the growing season, and
own use. Such seed may often be
judged fairly correct by the ap-
pearance of the crop and the appear
ance of the mature seed. In such
cases, however, the purchaser him
self assumes the risk of obtaining a
good termination.
To purchase seeds of any kind
without definite information as to
their source, condition or age, is an
unwise investment. Home grown
clOVers containing large percentages
of buckhorn, soy beans containing
wild morning glory seed, and any
seeds containing considerable pOr-
tiOns of split, immature and shrivel-
ed seeds, are expensive, regardless
of price. The services of the Seed
Laboratory of the State Board of
Agriculture are available to any
farmer who wishes to obtain purity
or termination tests upon any seed
which he desires to use.

Mr.. Shields gave some of the out
standing accomplishments of the
school for the year. He divided
these into three parts, namely, aca-
demic, activities, and morale and
craftsmanship of the school. This
year we gained recognition as an
accredited high school. This was
based primarily on our course of
study and worth while activities. 1t
is considered quite an honor to gain
such recognition and is one of
which we may be justly proud.
Our activities consisted chiefly of
athletics, music and dramatics. Our
athletics was composed of soccer,
basket ball and volley ball. Our
music was quite successful as we
were awarded the grand trophy at
the State Music Contest.
The moral and spOrtsmanshin, of
our school is very commendable as
shown by the attitude and compli-
ments of other schools. Good feeling
and fellowship in rivalry has been
very noticeable.
Mrs. Lavinia Lynch gave a sum
mary of the work done i'm our or
ganizatiOn during the year. She
mentioned some worth while results
of our meetings.
Mr.. Vaughn. the retiring president.
Installed the new officers.

N. J. REMOVES
TIME LIMIT ON
DELAWARE CARS

l.. Hopes, executive secretary of the
Delaware Automobile Association,
"is indicative of the cordial relations
existing between the motor vehicle
administrations of the two States.
Heretofore there has been constant
friction. with New Jersey authorities
.arresting Delaware vehicle owners
who operated beyond the specified
time limit, and Delaware authorities
taking the same course with respect
to New Jersey owners.
I'VE believe the good will prOmOt-
ed by the reciprocity action is worth
a great deal more than the amount
of the fees involved. New Jersey
and Delaware have too much in com
mon to allow relations to become
strained through differences in mo-
tor vehicle law" he concluded.

NEEDY FAMILIES ARE
GIVEN FURNITURE
[COnfinurd from Firn PG9eI

Sale, now under way, will be given
away absolutely free to deserving
families in this State. That the al
lotment might be made without the
possibility of unfairness, Miller
Brothers placed the problem in the
hands of a committee, to be aided
by leading philanthropic workers
and clergymen in each community
in Delaware.
The score of the committees work
last year is understandable when it
is known that $4,000 worth of fur
niture, of 1852 pieces, was distri-
buted to 294 needy families IN Della
ware, who were aided by the commit
tee without a penny of cost.

message to the people of Milford.
First, it will call to them to wear a
poppy as a personal tribute to the
memory of those gallant young men

appeal to them to help tighten the

price of Americas victory in suffer-
ing and hardship, the disabled vet
Grams, their families and the fami-
lies of the dead.
Every penny which the people con-
tribute for their pOppies will go to
the relief of the living victims of the
war, the bulk of the money remain
ing right at home to finance the Aux
iliarys relief activities among the
needy veterans and their families
