GAME WARDENS FED
BIRD AND RABBITS
Following Last Snow Storm Steps
We're Taken To Protect Game

Immediately following the recent
snow storm, game wardens started
an active campaign to feed quail
and pheasants. Farmers and sports
men were canvassed to ascertain
the possible locations of these birds
and feed was taken out to these To-
cations or given to those who would
properly place 1t. Reports indicate
that there are number of quail
left, and in order to keep these
birds as stock for next season, they
must have feed.
In case of future heavy snow
storms prompt message to the
nearest game warden will start him
on his way to provide a feeding sta
tion or furnish feed to some one
who will properly place it.
Shortly after a heavy snow storm
when birds and rabbits start out
after feed, they become an easy prey
to hawks, cats, and other vermin.
Birds and rabbits in addition to
having their movements hampered
by the snow or ice, lose the natur-
al protection of the colors of their
feathers and fur against the white
therefore, a campaign
% eliminate the destructive hawk
and prowling cats will greatly help
o conserve game.

New Jersey, Maryland, and in othel
sections of the United States, each
year four or five farmers have been
selected in Kent county to grow
this variety in comparison with
other varieties which have been
more or less common to certain
parts of the county. The average
yield of the Marglobe this past year
was So tons per acre, as compared
to 81 tons per acre from the Great
er Baltimore, while in 1881 the Mar
globe yielded only 80 tons per acre,
and the Indiana Baltimore produced
SO tons in comparison with a yield
of 2.6 tons from the Break-O-Day
variety. AS the 1881 season was very
unfavorable for tomatoes, all yields
were far below normal. and no fair
comparison can be made of the av-
eTage yields for these past two
years.
In making a general survey of the
tomato varieties which seem to be
best adapted to certain sections of
Kent county it has been observed by
field demonstrations that the Mar
globe does not produce as well in

CASES INVESTIGATED

Members of the States Temporary
Emergency Relief Commission said
Monday night that about 10000
men, women and children, in famil-
les where the wage-earner is with
cut employment, were cared for
over the Christmas holidays. The
great majority were in Wilmington
and vicinity.
In order to be certain every fam
lily now being aided by the Com
mission received especial care at
Christmas, particularly those with
small children relief workers
worked late Friday and Saturday
nights, many remaining at their
posts beyond midnight.
Other organizations working in
cooperation with the State Relief
Commission, also reached hundreds
of needy families and individuals
with food, clothing, fuel and medi-
cine. The Family Society aided
many hundreds.
AS it is a rule of the State Relief
Commission to make complete in
vestigations of needy cases, the in
vestigators were particularly hard
pressed. Many belated appeals we're
received and the only way these
people could obtain food and cloth
ing orders was for relief wOi kers to
make ar investigation.
This necessitated night work and
additional work, filling out reports

ing. At a spot on the dark back road
between Milford and Lincoln City,

NAPLES drove the injured man to,
the hospital. I
Police said neither the gun nor
any money was found on WaDles,
and that the positions of WapBes
and Williams at the time of the
shooting as described by all thtee,
was such that NAPLES could mot
have done the shooting. Both WA
pies and Pettyjohn admitted hearing
the shot. NAPLES said the sound of
the report came from the nearby
woods. After a preliminary fnvesti-
cation, Oficers Baker and Jackson,
of the Milford police, turned the

made-work next week. Emergency
project No. 217, comprising work
between Bear and Hare's Corner on
the dual State highway in New Cas-

made-work projects. This involves
the handling of $4,000 cubic yards
of earth, estimated to require 175,-
900 man hours of labor, equivalent
to 300 men working 20 weeks at 80
hours per week.
Arrangements have been made to

Only about $4,000 owners have re-

Last year, total of more than 49,
900 cars were registered.
Only two days remain for owners
to obtain tags. Because of the tard-
mess of owners in applying, the Sec
retary of States office is preparing
for last minute rush.
At least 10000 persons are ex-
pected to apply for Licenses during
the next two days in order to be

wish to apply in person.
Those who go to Dover will be
assured of receiving their plates.
Those who wait until Friday or Sat
urday to mail their applications,
however, cannot expect to get their
tags until Tuesday or Wednesday,
which would mean at least two or
more days they would not be allow
ed to drive their machines.
Secretary of State Charles H.
Grandland said last night that, as
soon as those who call are taken
care of late Saturday afternoon,
caring for mail applicants starts.
Due to the fact there will be no mail
deliveries Sunday or Monday, tags
cannot be delivered until after Mon
day
Judging from present indications,
no extension of time will be granted.
1t is pointed out that the State law
provides that all motor vehicles US
ing the highways must have new
tags by January /, and that it would
require legislative act to change
this.

MUST CHANGELAW
TO EXTEND USE OF

NO EXTENSION IN PA.

That nothing can be done towards
obtaining an extension of time on
the use of the 1882 license tags on
automobiles until after the General
Assembly meets. next Tuesday, was
the concensus of those present at
conference Wednesday night of rep
resentatives of five automobile trade
associations at the DUPONT Biltimore
i'm Wilmington.
The State law, it was pointed out,
makes it mandatory upon State au-
thorities to rule motor vehicles off
the roads and highways after next
Saturday at midnight, which do not
display the 1893 licenses.
Although no announcement was
made as to what action is planned
il is understood efforts will be made
to amend the present State law so
as to nuke legal an extension of the
period for the obtaining of new
tags until April 1. Pending this,
however, It seems certain, unless
some other arrangements can be
worked out with the State, drivers
of vehicles unable at this time to put
out the funds necessary for new Ii
cense plates, will have to leave their
cars idle.
May Seek Law Amendment
A move is also said to be on foot
to amend the State law so as to
change the annual license period to
extend from June 90 to July /, of
the following year in keeping with
.he fiscal year of the city and State.

promises to be a big one for Milford
because of the sixth annual State
Poultry Show, the 26th annual show
of the Delaware Crop Improvement
Association. and the second show of
the Delaware Rabbit Breeders AS
sOciation. All of the above associa-
tons are combining and are having
the largest and best exhibits of
poultry and poultry products, farm
crops and rabbits ever held in the
State. It will be worth any ones
time to visit this show on any of the
days from January 10th to the 18th
and see just what is being done in
our State along agricultural lines.
II may surprise you to see exhibits
that will compare with any in the
country.
On January 18th a big theatre
party will be held by the above as
sociations at the Plaza Theatre. You
will be the guests of these associa-
tiOns and if you have not already
received your free ticket, write your
County Agricultural Agent, G. II.

gladly send one to you. Or if you
want a program of any of the above

amateur class has been made into
county classes of 10 ears and single

Resolve to look both ways before
attempting to cross the street. In
crossing, first look left, cross to the
center of the road and then look to
the right. Watch also for cars COM

when it is safe to cross and go ahead
without hesitation.
Resolve that if you get caught in
traffic that you, will stand perfectly
still in the center of the road and
let the cars go until you have a
chance to go across. Do not dodge
back and forth. Drivers will not
know where to steer if you do not
stand still.
