TRIAL


We are not promised easy roads to fare,
II was not said life should be struggle free.
Burdens there are for every man to bear,
Pain is the symbol Of mortality.
Who suffer, livesl Who neither hopes nor fears
And is not conscious that his joys may cease
Has joined the dead Of all the ancient years,
For in the grave is only perfect peace.
We grow by strife, by faith in doubtful days,
BY courage in the presence Of despair,
Those splendid virtues men are quick to praise
Are fashioned by the burdens which they bear.
The living suffer, and the wise men know
That out Of struggle conquest is attained,
Faith holds them fast through all the storms which bio
And there's no loss but something else is gained.

EXTEND DUCKING
SEASON 80 DAYS
Federal Mandate Is Looked
Upon With Favor By
Local Sportsmen
NOV. THE 1ST TO DEC. 81

Local sportsment of Smyrna and
throughout Delaware especially
those of this vicinity who gun on
the Woodland Beach marsh are
greatly pleased to learn that the
Federal authorities have extended
the ducking season an extra thirty
days for this coming season. This
will give the duck shooting devot-
ees thirty more days than last
year when the season ran from No
vember 15 to December Is only.
The opening date next fall will be
November ! and the season will not
close until December 81. AS De-
cember is ordinarily the best gun
ming month for wild fowl, sports
men hope to be more successful
this year than they were last sea-
son when but few ducks were kill
ed. Following the unsuccessful
season last year in all parts of the
country when only few ducks
were killed, many complaints and
protests over the shortened season
reached the Federal authorities at
Washington and these, together
with the personal protests of many
prominent men, caused a length
ening of the season by thirty days.
Scarcely anyone killed enough
ducks to eat around this section
last fall during the 30-day period.
The weather from November Is to
December Is was very mild and
warm which resulted in the ducks
not congregating in local marshes
until later in the year after the
season had closed. Around and /
about Smyrna there was a scarcity. |

COUNTY CONTROL

The county roads in Delaware
should remain in the control of the
county officials and not pass into
State control; the county off
Gals should distinguish themselves
SO signally by good roads work that
transfer of the roads to the State

KENT-SUSSEX FAIR
OPENS WITH 5000
Big Day Yesterday as Thr0ng
Crowded Grounds and Take
in Various Attractions
SMYRNIANS ATTENDING

A number from Smyrna motored
to Harrington yesterday to take in
the first day of the Kent Sussex
Fair which will continue with bet
ter attractions than ever thru the
week. The grandstand was decor
ated with flags, and the bright sun
shine made the visit of the fair
patrons real pleasure The crowd
was estimated at about 5000, and
is equal to the crowd on any pre-
vious opening. One thing in par
ticular, noticeable about the
grounds was the large assemblage
Of automobiles from nearby states,
whose owners are paying this sec
tion visit for the express purpose
Of attending the fair The judging
and awarding of prizes was start
ed with the opening of the fair,
but with the great number of en-
tries, especially in the larger de-
partments, it will be several days
before this work viii be completed.
In visiting the All Club Exhibition
Building the patrons Of the fair
are urged to observe the results OBJ
tanned from canning calf This
work is under the direction of Mrs.
Kate Henley Dougherty, home
demonstration agent Of New Cas-
tie county. Mr.. and Mrs. H. S.
Palmer of Bear, Del, were the
owners Of the calf which weighed
276 pounds when slaughtered, and
dressed 176 pounds. Every part of
the animal was canned in quart
and pint tin cans, and sealed with
a hand can sealer. The amount of
can products obtained included 21
quarts steak and chops; II quarts
roast; IA quarts stew; 9 quarts
soup stock; ] quart heart and
tongue; quart fried liver; l quart
ground meat; z pints veal loaf;
pints mince meat; z pints of
ground meat; ! pint Kidneys;
pint of calf brains According to
reports Of this experiment, Mr..
Palmer was only offered S12 live
weight for this calf, but after can
ming it, the value was estimated to
be S43.20. The net profit after de-
Quoting the cost of canning
amount to S24.16 over what Mr..
Palmer was offered for the calf on
foot. It is estimated that there
was sufficient canned food to serve
81 meals. The experiment has
proven so successful that the sug-
gestion is made that farmers
might try canning some of their
surplus meats. The work is being
promoted by the Extension Service
Of the University of Delaware.

lief Bill Must Be Expend-
ed Within One Year

lief bill resulted Saturday in allo-
cation of the S120,O00,00O for en-
ergency construction of the Fed
eral aid highway system in the

HoNoRING PosToFFTCE DAY

Smyrna POstOffice Has Picture Of
Washington Decorated With Flags
Smyrna's celebration of the 18th
anniversary of the Inauguration of
the American postofice system
started yesterday morning. The
postofice lobby was decorated with
American flags, bunting, and pic
lures of George Washington Bunt-
ing was also draped over the door
way of the post office. One hun
dred and ffty-seven years ago this
week, the Continental Congress in
augurated the postal service of the
United Colonies and this later be-
came he Post Office Department of
the United States. Benjamin
Franklin became the first director.
Mail, at that time, was carried by
post riders and stage coach. No
one in the early days of the service
had more appreciative under
standing of the advantages Of a
postal service than George Wash
ington. No one did more to give
it a firm foundation. IN this Bi-
centennial year of George Wash
ington's birth it therefore seems
that a demonstration
be made of the advance of trans
portation facilities since those
early days.

inf that they could not save the
mill, the firemen stretched hose for
a distance of 1850 feet, and kept
stream of water pouring upon the
Smith home. The building was di-
rectly in the path of the flames,
and was continually showered by
sparks carried by a stiff breeze
from the direction of the mill. The
dwelling was saved. The Houston
Fire Company also responded to
the alarm, but did not go into ser
vice. Mr.. Best could not be locat-
ed last night to tell the exact
