BURGLARS ROB
DOVER STORES
Stores of w. L. Clayton and
Harry Vane Robbed of
Money and Goods
TWO HOMES RANSACKED

Late Thursday night or early
Friday morning burglars broke
into two Loockerman street stores
and got away with money and
goods to the extent Of probably
$500. At the w. L. Clayton groc-
cry store on the corner of Loock-
erman and State streets in the
Priscilla block an entrance was
gained by jimmying a rear door.
Mr.. Clayton discovered the robbery
when he opened the store. Some
change probably not amounting to
more than 81 was taken from the
cash register but the owner has
not as yet missed any stock. The
burglars made larger haul at the
drug store of Harry Vane, corner
of Loockerman and New streets,
which they entered by forcing a
rear basement door. Here the rob
bers stole $3.50 from the cash reg
ister and large quantity of foun-
tain pens, pencils, safety razors,
cigars and cigarettes. He estimat-
ed his loss at between $500 and
$500. No clue has been obtained.
Mrs. Harry Mayer, of Dover,
who has been away for several
weeks on a visit having closed her
home while away, returned home
last week and found that the, house
had been entered during her alb
sence and a general ransacking of
bureaus, closets and other places
where any valuables might have
been kept had taken place. Dover's
officers were at once notified and
an investigation is under way. 1t
is the belief of the authorities that
the person or persons entering the
Mayer home may be the same who
entered the residence of Mrs. r.
r. Kenny, ON North State street,
some weeks back, the Kenny home
also being closed at the time.
Cigarette butts were found on the
floors of the two houses entered,
indicating that the intruders had
been smoking.

crate, and the crate itself costs 35
cents, leaving only IL cents for the
grower for growing and marketing
the crop. On account of this price,
many of the farmers are not pick
ing their crop. In about two
weeks, the first blackberries will
appear in the market, and present
prospects indicate a good crop. The
Strawberries usually last until the
first blackberries apear, and farm
ers frequently bring some of both
on the same load. Before the
blackberry crop is over, the cucum-
bers appear. Present indications
point to a large cucumber and
cantaloupe crop, as many farmers
have reduced their sweet potato
acreage and increased the acreage
of these two crops.

ware and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland will have an increase in

milk, the equivalent of 46 quarts.
Under the new schedule, grade "A"
milk retails for 13 cents quart
and eight cents a pint; "B" milk
selling at 10 cents a quart and
six cents per pint. The increase,
which was not entirely unexpected
eliminates the confusion which dis
tributors said would have been
caused by the rise in New Jersey
prices, just put into effect under
that States new milk price-fxing
law, officials said. The farmer
was given the whole increase. -Four
per cent milk has been bringing
S1..62. It will now bring about
S191. The next grade is 8. at
S134 and it will be SLIT. Surplus
milk will also be increased. Moth
ing has been done that VIII bring
more cheer to the dairymen than
this increase in the price of their
milk. Officials of the Interstate
Milk Producers Association said
the price rise had the approval of
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
acting on the authority given him
in the farm relief bill.

21 KENT PROPERTIES SOLD
No Bid on Several Properties and
Mortgages Were Too Heavy

Of the A properties advertised
for sale in Dover Friday for back
taxes, there were but 81 actually
sold. On IL of the properties there
were no bids as the mortgage was
too great. Under the recent law
passed by the Legislature the pur-
chaser of a property must assume
the mortgage. The Grant and
Woolworth properties, two of Do
ver's newest and largest chain
stores, located on Loockerman
street, built two years ago and on
which the taxes had accumulated,
received no bid, as the mortgage
of $4,000 was too great a respon-
sibility for any one to assume.
