man says, pure spearmint. She's
a chiseling cheater who for want
of something better to do carries
on with her doctor. Not much ap-
peal in the role.
Jean Harlow tossed her talents
in against Marie DreSsler, John
Barrymore, Wallace Beery, Lionel
Barrymore, Lee Tracy, Edmund
Lowe and Billie Burke. Quite a
cast. And all of them had stage
experience as against the Harlow
studio career.
You can imagine Jean Harlow
had to watch her step with this
bunch of show stealerS. I read
the answers in the verdict of New
York critics whose opinions I
value. They say that the medal
goes to Jean Harlow. Marie
Dressler is, as you expect, good.
But Marie has had better parts
than the over-dresSed, broken
down actress Of the story. The
others are also rated excellent,
but the consensus choice gives the
verdict to the youngest member
Of the troupe.
Harlow is smart, don't forget
that. Those who pigeon-hole her
as a beautiful but dumb blonde
make a serious mistake. There is
a genuine talent to accompany
her voluptuouS beauty.

MILFORD BAPTISTS
HAVE REGULAR PASTOR

The ordination service was held
in the First Baptist Church, Milford,
with Rev. S. b. Hiley moderator,
presiding, Friday Oct. 9Th, 1888.
The service began with music
played by Mabelle Draper, and the
devotions were closed with a special
selection by the choir. Have Thine
Own Way Lord"
Rev. Hiley introduced DR.. A. E.
Harris, registrar in the Eastern
Baptist Theological Seminary who
delivered the evening address.
At the close of this address L. T.
Gibson went to the platform and
kneeled while DR.. Harris led in
prayer. DR.. Harris, Rev. s. B. Hiley
and Rev. Catlett laid their hands on
his head acknowledging that God
had already set him apart for the
Christian ministry; and that this was
only the public recognition by the
church of what God had already
done.
Rev. N. A. Catlett, pastor of the
Delmar Baptist Church, Delmar,
Del, gave the right hand of fellow
ship into the Christian ministry.
Following the right hand of fellow
ship, the hymn, Jesus Leads" was
sung by four members of the choir,
Mrs. Edith Draper, Miss Virginia
Lynch, Mrs. l.. T. Gibson and Mrs.
Clarence Grayenor. s-
Rev. S. B. Hiley pastor of the
First Baptist Church, Dover, gave
the charge to the candidate and to
the church. He charged the candi-
date to have a secret of prayers;
to shepherd the flock and to preach
the word. He charged the church
to uphold the pastor in prayer and
to let their lives shine as the stars
in the heavens.
After singing "Blest Be the Tie
That Binds" Rev. L. T. Gibson, pas
tor of the church pronounced the
benediction.
The platform and the front of the
church were beautifully decorated
with flowers. The green background
frightened with many cut flowers
gave a beautiful setting for the |
spiritual messages which were |
given. Rev. and Mrs. Gibson take |
this opportunity of expressing their
and many thanks to all |
who in any way made this floral
setting possible.
The service had been announced
for three consecutive weeks in the
paper with a general invitation to
the public. A committee appointed |

HOME OWNERS LOAN
CORPORATION
Delaware Agency

Meyer Ableman, District Manager
of the Home Owners Loan Corpor-
alton, Georgetown, announced today
that he has been advised by the Di-
vision of Research and Statistics of
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board
and the Home Owners Loan Corpor-
alton, that throughout the country
there was a decrease in foreclosures
of 6.19o in August of this year as
compared with August 1882, accord
ing to an analysis of reports from
1114 communities that include 500
of the population of the United
States.
The analysis also reported "a no.
ticeable Strengthening in the real
estate market as indicated by re-
ports on both rental and sales of
properties in many sections of the
country.
For the go day period of July and
August. a decrease of 1857 was re-
ported over the Immediately preced-
ing sixty-day period in May and
June, although a comparison with
the corresponding periods of 1882
indicated a decrease of only 0.6%.
In August, 1893, the number of
foreclosures was 1905, while for
August, 1882, it was 1916. In 1888
the combined July and August fig
ure was 35,773, while the combined
May and June figure was 40,455. In
1892 the corresponding figures were
1920 and 37,440 respectively.
noaraacao xuaro T7afad In, Of
this year in % states as compared
with July, and of the IL Federal
Home Loan Bank Districts showed
decreases in August as compared
with July Of this year. These were
reported in the districts served by
the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston, Newark, Pittsburgh, Topeka,
Portland and Los Angeles.
The figures reported cover fore
closures on all types of properties
including farms and commercial
properties as well as homes.
Since the survey covers $500 of
the population of the United States"
the report states, ut is reasonable
to assume. therefore, that in May
and June of this year, foreclosures
on homes were taking place at the
rate of 10000 per month. That there
has been marked decrease in the
number of foreclosures on homes
doubtless reflects a growing meas
ure of influence ON the part of the
remedial acts that have been devils
ed b ythe Federal Government. Evil
IDENTIFY, there is a growing inclina-
tion on the part of mortgages not |
to force foreclosures and to work |
out their problems with mortgagors |
in such manner that the mortgage
either continues to carry the mort
gage or else is willing to exchange
it for bonds issued by the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, and in
either event foreclosure and loss of
the property by the mortgagor is
avoided"
This is further reflected by the
Strengthening in the real
estate market as indicated by re-
ports on both rentals and sales of
properties in many sections Of the
country"

PROFITABLE SIDE LINE

Farmers near Waycross, Ca, are
finding it economical and profitable
to do their own turpentining, accord
ing to w. r. Mattoon, extension for
ester, of the United States Forest
Service. The farmers collect the
crude gum from the cupped trees
and take it to a custom still. When
10 barrels are filled, the farmers
charge is stilled. He then hauls his
turpentine and rosin to market.
In this way, farmers have become
their own operators and do not have
to depend upon chance results of
leasing their pine timber to others.
Mr.. Mattoon believes that this prac-
tice encourages the farmers to take
better care of their woods, as their
timber crop becomes a very definite
and regular annual source of sub
stantial portion of the farm income.
