the loss Of their children.)
Helena Frances O'Hara
Within Gods acre there is found,
Three small graves in row.
As Winters tender requiem,
Bid softest breezes blow,
The eldest child has rested there,
Long months in sweet repose.
While ever onward down the vale,
The Oak Run water flows.
As autumn's artist decked the plain,
In gold and bright array;
Ere winters snow came sweeping
down,
Dear Jimmie went away
While all kind hearts, or love could do
With watchful vigils kept,
The weeks went by, then one sad day,
His younger brother slept.
Tc waken in that brighter land,
Where sorrow has no part,
And where he begs a solaee for,
Each parents saddened heart
Three voices in the heavenly choir,
Sing anthems sweet and low.
While out within Gods acre lie,
Three small graves in row.

Twelve Organized Groups
Plan For Entire Years
Program.

Home Demonstration work in
Sussex county is conducted by three
specific methods, which are: Organ
lied groups, other community or
district meetings and home visits.
There are twelve of the organized
groups in the following communities
Nassau, Harbeson, Hollymount,
Ocean View, Georgetown, Cokes-
bury, Sycamore. Reliance, Green
wood-owens Station, Epworth-Trin-
ity, Delmar and Columbia. These
groups have an enrolment Of 306
women. A meeting is held once a
month with each group and such
subjects as are outlined in the pro-
gram of work are demonstrated and
discussed at these meetings.
Many times subjects relative to
the home making profession require
more time than can be given in an
afternoons club meeting and inter
est larger and different groups of
women, SO to meet this need, COM
munity or district meetings are
held to which the public is invited.
In many instances women want
suggestions and help on individual
home problems which can be given
only through the medium of visit
to the homes. These are met by the
home demonstration agent as far as
is possible.

PREPARE TO FIGHT
EPIDEMIC OF FLU
State Armories Offered As Emerg-
eney Hospitals To House Stricken

To enable this State to cope with
any emergency resulting from a
serious outbreak of disease, the six
armies of the National Guard, by or
der of Adjutant General w. e. Stow
er. acting under instructions from
Governor C. Douglass Buck, will be
placed at the disposal of any COM
munity that may be stricken, to be
used as emergencq hospitals for
the care of afflicted men, women and
children. These armories are To-
Gated in Wilmington, Newark, New
Castle, Dover, Milford, and Laurel.
1t is estimated an aggregate of about
5000 patients could be cared for in
them.
There is no outbreak of disease of
and kind in Delaware at the present
time, but the action of the authori-
ties looking to the acquisition of the
armories has been based on the APP
proach of an epidemic of influenza
which is serious in those localities
where it has struck. This epidemic
is travelling north along the Atlantic
Seaboard and at present is raging in
South Carolina.

Think Coins Found At Indian River
Base Put There By Early Pirates

A number of Coast Guardsmen OF
the Indian River base, and residents
of that vicinity, who recently uncov-
cred on the beach, large quantity
of old copper Irish and English
coins bearing eighteenth century
dates are making careful study of
them to ascertain their value and
determine If possible, their origin.
Such coins have frequently been
washed ashore by storms. but this
is the largest batch 'Apund so far.
The latest find is believed to have
been buried on the beach by pirate
vessels that once entered the mouth
of the inlet to prey upon merchant
craft. The terrific beach erosion of
the last century and a half is
thought to be the reason for the re-
cent finding of these alleged. buried
treasures. The majority of the coins
are Irish coppers, the size of the
old English penny, bearing the like
ness of King George III, with the
word "Hibernia" across the top on
the side being the figure of a harp.
As the coins are found some dis
lance above the high water mark on
The beach, it is thought they were
placed there by human hands and

At the monthly meeting of the
State Mothers Pension Commission
in the State House at Dover three
new applications from New Castle
were considered and two granted.
One new application in Kent

allowed. In Sussex county new
applications were refused.
Miss Griggs, executive secretary
of the Commission stated that all
funds in the State allowance for
pensions have been allotted, and
they now have 9S applications on
the waiting list who cannot be aid
ed, except as some family is re-
moved from the list.
OF pensioned cases in New Cas-
tie, six were reduced and one dis
continued. Two were reduced in
Kent county and one reduced and
one discontinued in Sussex county.

hold of some sunken vessel.
In the lot found within the last
couple of weeks, is piece of gold
worth about SIS. found by John
Tracy, of Rehoboth. Mr.. Tracy also
has a few silver coins located in this
vicinity.
For the last hundred years or
more, according to older residents.
gold, silver, and copper coins have
been found along the shore between
Cape Henelopen Point and Betahny
Beach, a distance of about twenty
miles, though the greater findings
have been on the Indian River
beach. At one time, the inlet is said
to have been about ten feet deep,
allowing deep draft vessels to come
quite distance inland, but the ero-
sion of the past century, has made
this impossible. The conclusion is
drawn that preying vessels of the
old privateering days followed rich
merchant vessels far inland and then
buried their loot in the high sand
dunes far from the waters edge.
Nearly every resident of that local
ity has in his possession some SOU
venir of such buried treasure, chief
ly the copper coins unearthed by
wind storms.

STATE CHRISTMAS
GREENS INDUSTRY
VALUED S25OOOO
Survey Reveals One And
One Quarter Million

STATE GROWN HOLLY
Industry Is Of Tremen-
dOus Importance To The
State.

The State Forestry Department s
preliminary survey of the Christmas
greens industry in Delaware indi-
Gates considerable reduction in in
come to the people of the State from
this source during the 1882 shipping
season. However, figures compiled
by the Department indicate that the
industry is of tremendous import
ance to the State despite the eco
nOmic conditions confronting the
world today. IL is estimated that
this year the industry furnished pre-
holiday employment to about 10000
people consisting of holly gatherers,
wreath makers, lumber manufactur-
ers, holly shippers, truckers and
many others directly or Indirectly
concerned with the industry.
IL is calculated that approximate
ly 100000 dollars was paid byehOlly
shippers i'm the State to the wreath
makers and shipping case manufac-
turers alone. II is definitely known
that more than $3.50 standard holly
shipping cases were manufactured
in Delaware and sold to Delaware
shippers exclusively. OF this num-
Der of cases, approximately $500
cases containing II dozen wreaths
per case were shipped by rail or
transported by truck to points out
side of the State. In addition, re-
ports show that approximately 1000
cartons of dozen to two dozen each
were shipped out of the State by
large and small dealers. These ship
nents would indicate at least l.
2T5,000 wreaths handled by Delaware
dealers of which roughly IS per
cent were made in Delaware by Del
aware people from Delaware grown !
holly.
Returns from questionnaires sent ;
out by the Department indicate that |
more than 500 cases of loose or bulk
holly were handled by Delaware I
dealers while an additional 300 cases
were used for the shipment of laurel |
