RABBIT GROWERS IN
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
Hear Speakers Tell OF Growth OF
Industry And Future Prospects

A large and enthusiastic meeting
of breeders and prospective breed
ers of the Pendelmar Rabbitry, Inc,
of Chester, Pa, was held Tuesday
evening, September 6, in the Com
munity Building at Milford.
An interesting talk on the past,
present and future of the rabbit
business was given by Frederick NJ.
Schwalm, sales manager. He gave
statistics from the international
fair at Leipsic, Germany, showing
that France uses and consumes 100
million rabbits annually; Germany
SO million; Holland 10 million; Eng
land so million, and etc. He also
gave government statistics on the
value of the rabbit as food and
quoted from Kellogg, one OF the
most noted food authorities in the
world, showing that rabbit meat is
more nutritious than any other
meat, more easily digested and con-
tains less uric acid. Mr.. Schwalm
also talked on the money making
possibilities of the rabbit business
and said it was destined to become
one of the greatest industries in the
country.

DELAWARE HURT
BY DRY WEATHER
Crops In Section From
Dover To Bridgeville
Are Damaged
RAIN BADLY NEEDED

which are now about in their prime
Delaware crops owing to the con-
tinued drought coupled with the eX-
treme hot weather, are being greatly
damaged according to experts. The
drought which started in some Sec
tions early in the summer is now
reaching proportions similar to the
disastrous dry spell of 1880. Not
only Della ware but several other cas-
tern states are in the grip of the
drought.
Dean C. A. McCue, of the Agricul-
tural College of the University of
Delaware, says the area in Delaware
most seriously threatened by the
dry period which began early in
June and has continued unabated
since, is the section around Dover,
and south to Bridgeville, where eX-
6ensive apple and peach orchards
are being affected.
The yields in both field corn and
sweet corn crops have been sharply
cut in many sections due to lack of
rain, he said, particularly in the
Lewes and Rehoboth areas of Sus-
sex county. Dry weather, he said,
caused the sugar corn crop to mas
ture too rapidly for maximum yield.
This process, he said, promises to be
repeated in the field corn crops,

LEGION ACTIVITY
State Has Enrolment OF 1,193;
Quota Was 500

A letter from Frank L. Samuel,
assistant national adjutant of the
American Legion, congratulating the
Department of Delaware for ex-
ceeding the national quota of mem
bership Cor 1882, has been received
by Edward H. Naylor, membership
chairman of the department.
The Delaware department, which
has surpassed it's quota with a total
of 1,193 members, is the 25th in the
national body to do so. Last year,
the department had the largest
membership in it's history, 1880, and
this year the third largest. Mr.. Sam
uel considers this an achievement
in view of the economic stress pre-
vailing.
Mr. Samuels letter said, in part:
81 am glad to see that your mem
bership prophecy has been fulfilled,
as indicated by our national head
quarters records. | know that you,i
as department membership chair
man, and your constructive enthus-
iasm, had much to do with this fine
record. Please convey our appreci-
alton to all those who had any part

Truck Operators Mu S t
Take Out Pennsylvania
Licenses Under Statute
PLAN RETALIATION

Complications are anticipated IN
the enforcement of the new Pennsyl-
vania automobile laws, regarding the
operation of trucks from other States
in Pennsylvania. One of the regula-
tions APPROVED by the Pennsylvan-
ia Legislature calls for the taking
out of Pennsylvania licenses by
truck operators from other States,
if their trucks travel over the roads
of Pennsylvania more than 80 times
in a single year.
Reciprocity has regularly been
practiced between Pennsylvania and
Delaware, with the result that most
trucks operating in both Pennsyl-
vania and Delaware, have found it
necessary to use only one set of tags,
but the new law will result in Della
ware truck operators, operating reg
ularly through Pennsylvania, taking
out Pennsylvania licenses in addi-
tion to Delaware licenses.

LOOK FOR RESULTS

Governor Bucks State UnemplOy-

hour session at Dover on Friday with
the Governor in his Offices in the
State House, during which time con-
sideration of many of things which
have been suggested from time to
time as to the relief of the unem-
ployed for the coming fall and win
ter were gone over, that of housing
conditions, food supply and employ
ment.
Letters were received and read be-
fore the Commission from the Cen
tral Labor Union of Wilmington and
the Unemployed Council of Whining
ton, both organizations asking when
they might expect some RELIEF from
the Commission.
Replies were ordered sent to both
organizations, setting forth the fact
that the Commission has no power
whatever to give any relief, their
function being solely as an advisory
committee to the Governor to whom
they Will finally make recommended
tiOns, the matter resting with the
Governor as to the best means of
providing for the unemployment re-
lief situation as it at present exists
and will likely exist for several
months to come.
Pierre S. DUPONT, a member of the
Commission, in commenting on the
work of the Commission so far pro-
gressed,. expressed his belief that
much had been accomplished by the
survey made and the discussions at
the several meetings and believed
they would materiali2e to the full
expectation and satisfaction of all
concerned.
The Commission expects shortly
to make public a full report of their
and findings so that the gen.
eral public and all concerned will
have full knowledge of what is con-
for the relief of the unem-
ployed in Delaware.

ISSUE PAMPHLET
ON DENTAL CARE
Says Half OF 5513 Children Exam
ined Needed Treatment

The accomplishments of the Dent
al Hygiene Department during its
first year of duty are listed in a
pamphlet, "a Year of Dental Hy-
giene," just published by the State
Board of Health.
DR.. A. c. JOst, executive secretary
of the State Board of Health, eX-
plains in a forewOrd that the de-
partment was made possible by an
appropriation of the State Legisla-
ture in 1881. The department con-
sists of seven dental hypienists un-
der the direction of Miss Mary
ted as follows: Two in Sussex coun-
ty schools, one in the Kent county
schools, two in rural New Castle
county and two in the Wilmington
schools.
Miss Wagner reports that 5513 ex-
aminations were made during the
year, and it was found that more
than one-half of the children needed
dental care. The mouths of only 10
per cent of those examined were
rated as clean.
Over one-third of the child popu-
lation, the report states, use the
tooth brush daily, less than one
fourth did not use the tooth brush
at any time, and those who used it
occasionally were less than half.
The pamphlet is illustrated with
photographs of the dental hygienists
at work and of the equipment used
in the country schools.

Through this systematic study of
