Men Who Found America.
John Cabot.

During the Middle Ages the cities Of
Genoa and Venice were famed for their
sailors; and this fame continued until
after the year 1900. For that reason,
seamen from Genoa and Venice were
called into the service of such countries
as Spain. Portugal and England.
One noted seaman from Venice was
john Cabot, or Giovanni Caboto. as he
called himself Many facts about his
life are not clear Probably he was
born in Genoa, but he lived for period
In Venice before he moved to England
with his family. Men of his time called
him 1.-The Venetian"
Cabot reached English soil during or
about the year 1890. We have no proof
that he planned to make a Western
voyage until after news of the diScov-
cries by Columbus reached England.
Then he asked King Henry VII to allow
him and his three sons to discover
unknown lands" The English King
granted the request.
Cabot believed that by sailing straight
West he could cross the Atlantic by
shorter route than Columbus had used
and could find richer lands.
On bright May morning, in the year
1897, the Venetian and his sons set sail
from the harbor at Bristol They had
only one small ship, the Matthew,
which was manned by 1s sailors. Clear
ing the coast of Ireland, the little craft
sailed northward for short space, then
West across the ocean.

but If he did it has been lost or de-
stroyed. Our knowledge is gained
chiefly from letters written by other
persons Of the time, reporting what
Cabot found.
The first land seen by Cabot is be-
lieved to have been either Newfound-
land or the coast of labrador. We are

THANKSGIVING
TURKEY CHEAP
Down in Sussex They Have
Been Retailing From II to
Is Cents a Pound
MARKET GLUT is CAUSE

It has been many years since
Delaware turkeys have been so
cheap. This year they have been
within the reach Of most every
body's pocketbook. Turkeys have
been selling at retail down at Sea-
ford as low as twelve and fifteen
cents per pound, and many going
begging at these prices. In Smyr-
ma and other localities they did
get below zoe to Csc a pound,
cheaper than they had been known
for years. The prevailing low
price of the Thanksgiving bird is
due to the fact that the market is
overloaded, nearly every farmer
having turkeys to sell. Some of
them have hundreds they are of
fering to the public at these at
tractive figures. For the past
several years turkeys have
brought fancy figures, and now it
appears that every farmer is rails
ing them with the result that there
are SO many turkeys on the mar
ket today that the remand does
not come anywhere near the sup
ply. In the meantime thieves in
Sussex county are so active these
days and nights that farmers are
being forced to unload their birds
on the Thanksgiving market rath-
er than hold them for the Christ
mas season which is considered
more profitable. The direct result
is the prices of Thanksgiving
turkeys in this section have been
driven down to almost record lows.
The farmers figure they would
rather let them go at current pric-
es than run the increasing risk Of
having them stolen before Christ
mas. Turkeys in Sussex are 15c
pound with guineas at 60 cents
pair, ducks at 6 to 10 cents a
pound, and chickens IL cents.

MIRED IN A BOG
SAVED BY DOG
Herbert Boyer Threatened
With Death by Rising Tide
When He Was Trapped
RESCUED NICK OF TIME

Mired in a bog up to his waist,
for almost four hours and with
less than an hour before the in
coming tide would have covered
his head, Herbert Boyer, a young
farmer from near Reedy Point
Canal Bridge, over in New Castle
County, was rescued from death
when his police dog returned home
and raised an alarm and caused
his father, John Boyer, ST., and a
brother, John Boyer, Jr., to follow
the dog and go to his aid. Young
Boyer left his home about IL
o'clock Monday morning and when
he reached a point between the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
and Fort DUPONT, he stepped on
what he thought was solid ground
and went down. His frantic strug-
giles to escape only caused him to
sink deeper and his calls for help
were unheard. He called until he
was hardly able to make a sound
and his dog also aided in trying to
attract attention. Steadily sink
ing Boyer was greatly weakened
by his struggles and conscious
that the tide would soon rise add
ed to his fright About 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon he sent his dog
home and when it reached the
farm house its unusual actions
caused Mr.. Boyer and his son to
start out in search of the missing
son. The dog led the way and
young Boyer's plight was discov-
cred. With the aid of boards and
brush and with much difficulty, the
young man was extricated from
the marsh. He had been in the
mud and icy water for almost four
hours and was so weak he was un-
able to stand. His father and
brother carried him home where
he is confined to bed

PRYOR WINS FOR BLACKBIRD
Succeeds in Getting Bill Thru the
House for $4,000 School Building

The Lower House of the Legis-
lature Thursday afternoon by a
vote of 29 to 6 passed Representa-
tive Pryor's bill to appropriate
from the school building program
fund $4,000 for the construction
of a two-room school building at
Blackbird. Mr.. Pryor explained
that about two weeks ago at a
referendum election the voters of
this district voted two to one
against consolidating with the
Smyrna special school district. He
said personally he had been for
consolidation but now that a great
majority of voters had opposed it
a new building should be erected
to meet conditions there. Those
voting against the bill were Repre-
sentatives Bonham, Burris, Hugh
es, Jones, Van Solver and Speaker
Robinson. 1t is not thought it
will get thru the Senate and be ap-
proved by Governor Buck at this
special session as the desire is to
stick only to the business for
which it has been called.

WIDER CANAL
AT ST. GEORGES
Gossip That Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal is To Be
Widened in Near Future
OPTION ON LAND TAKEN

Residents along the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal, particularly
st. Georges residents, have been
unusually interested the past week
over prospects of the canal being
deepened and Widened in the near
fuure. From Washington reports,
early in the week, it seemed as if
a definite announcement would be
made by the Chief of Engineers,
u. S. A., by this date, but SO far
nothing definite has been learned.
It is generally believed that the
government contemplates deepen
ing and widening the waterway in
the near future but the extent of
the project is not known. It is
known that a great amount of de-
tail survey and blue print work
has been done on the proposed pro-
ject in the Chesapeake City office.
Surveyors have taken lines all
aong the route. The office force
has been increased at Chesapeake
City to take care of the details in
connection with the proposed deep
ening, and land owners along the
canal route have been approached
in connection with the moving of
houses and the purchasing of land.
St. Georges will be most affected
if the work goes through. A num-
Der of buildings there are right
along the canal and will have to
be moved or torn down. At Della
ware City the proposed work
would not cause many changes, as
it will only be necessary to pur-
chase additional farm or marsh
land as the route of the new canal
IS over a mile south Of the town
and there are no buildings directly
on the banks.

spread and caught fire to the
grass. The Smyrna firemen were
summoned but the fire was gotten
under control before the firemen
left town. Had it not been for the

the fire may have proven quite
serious, the lot being surrounded
by three buildings.
