HARRINGTON
Flremen Are Active

! FIremen Are Active
The Fire Company last Monday
evening showed a substantial bal.
ance on hand. The fire recorders
report disclosed seven alarms dur.
ing the past month, all local with
but one rural call. Except in only
one case no damage resulted from
the fires, they being calls for chin
ney fires.
Five applications for membership
were given a favorable report and
unanimously elected: Archie Feag-
an, George Graham, Robert Nelson,
Fred c. Lord and Leslie Kemp.
The secretary was instructed to
write the Ladies' Auxiliary and in
vite them to attend the Ladies Night
entertainment at the high school
auditorium, Wednesday evening,
March 81. 1t is planned to reserve
the front rows for the organization.
A selection of ushers was made for
this entertainment: BrintOn HOllO-
way, Tharp Harrington Dewitt Tat
man and Fred Lord. The secretary
was also instructed to extend
thanks to Mrs. J. f. Newman for
her cash donation, after responding
TO a chimney fire at her home; also
to the Intersection Quartet for its
music at the Kent county meeting.
With several applicants for the ac-
tive roll on file, very likely some Of
the present active roll will be trans
ferred TO the associate roll.
Inspect Fire Plugs
The inspection by the firemen of
all fire plugs in Harrington last
week disclosed important facts,
which all citizens should be inter-
ested II was found that many plugs
were frozen.
II was found that the hydrants
that were frozen were of the old
type: the kind installed when the
plant was built All of the new type
hydrants with the steamer cOnnec-
tiOns seem to drain themselves
properly. In order to give better fire
protection to the business section.
new type hydrants replaced the old
style, some few years back; the old
one were then placed on the outlying
streets where the risk is not so
great.

Gerrish Gassaway, manager of the
Chamber, declared the State is in a

said, and during the past few years
has retired many millions in bonded

Five Millions for Relief
The report continues i'm part:
1T is believed more practical
method of affOTding relief to the I'M
employed lays in the construction of
desirable and necessary public works
which will represent permanent
asset to our State.
According to the report of the
State Temporary Emergency Relief
Commission, over three million dol
lars have been expended for unem-
plOyment relief. This with CWA
funds, private funds and funds of
the Wilmington Mayors Relief Com
mittee brings the total cost of Re-
lief Expenditures in Delaware to the
staggering sum of over five million
dollars.

way OF permanent Improvement ,

ditures of only $333.S45 for wages

BAKER STILL
FOR LEAGUE

CLEVELAND, April 26. W.P)-
Newton D. Baker, Woodrow Will
son IS secretary of war, today stands
reconciled to the ultimate revision
OF "The League of Nations'' and
pins his hope for world peace on
"a League of Nations.'
Baker, for years America IS most
ardent supporter of the league as
a peace agency, feels, in view of
the fact that four of the greatest
world powers have withdrawn, that
world opinion is too strongly in
favor of changing the covenants
of the body.
~ am entirely indifferent about
what it is called,' the former war
secretary said in a forum address,
land am more or less indifferent
about its powers.
He expressed the conviction that
the world will keep having a league
and that it's usefulness will grow
as confidence is built up Present
difficulties of the league he traced
to what he said was its ill-timed
origin when it was necessary for it
TO become an "enforcer of war
treaties loss of confidence
because of its failure to accomplish
the impossible.
They can change the league.
It will be all right for them to re-
arrange, or amend its covenants,
so long as they leave just one pro-
viding that when danger threatens,

THE MILK PROBLEM
BY George cobaugh

In the issue of the Milford Chron-
icle Of November 18Th, 1884, was an
article on pastures" in Delaware,
and their relation TO the production
OF milk, which called my attention
to an experience of my own at Cool
Breeze Farm. near Glendale, Del.
/ Before coming to Delaware thirty
years ago. resided in Somerset
County, Pennsylvania. which was
one of the best grass pasture sec
tions of that state. The first ten
years here found farming hard

remain green and suculent all the
summer season.

years ago, and through 1t finally
solved the problem on Cool Breeze
Farm. II has been our standby
under all weather conditions since
that time, and proved its value 100
per cent. On this pasture our cows
produce as much milk as did COWS
back in my Pennsylvania home
county. lIave Travelled through the
states of Pennsylvania. Maryland
and Delaware. where pastures were
parched brown by sun and dry
weather. while at home our Japan
clover was green
I have watched the experimental
farms at the University of Delaware,
and the farm of Mr. Walls along the
Lewes and RehObOth road. where
this kind Of pasture is, and often
the pasture at Cool Breeze Farm was
more green than either. | did not
use fertilizer of any kind, did top
dress the pasture during the sum-
mer with stable manure and occa-
siOnally use dressing of lime.
| am sure my pasture has heen a
big help and lowered the cost of
production of milk on Cool Breeze
Farm.
Orchard grass comes first in the
spring time, then the other grasses

Weather This Winter

Whether the winter just ahead will
be abnormally cold. unusually warm,
or somewhere between these ex-
tremes cannot definitely be told at
this time. according to W. X. GnIgg,
Chief of the Weather Bureau. The
only thing that can be said with a
fair degree OF certainty Is that it
will be colder than normal in some
parts OF the country and warmer
than normal in others. II is we'll
established rule of winter weather
that temperatures are never uni
fOrmly above or below normal for
the entire United States. Last win
ter, for example, was the warmest
ever known in most of the country.
Yet a few Northeastern States had
extremely cold weather. This wea-
ther characteristic. Mr.. Gregg points
out, is just one of many things that
makes long-range forecasting so

that quarter of century were gen.

winters was definitely cold.
Obviously. Mr.. Gregg points out.
as long as we are in the midst of
period of abnormal warmth, the
laws of probability place the ma
iority of winters above the normal
temperature line. This, holds true
only in a general way. not for spe-

the limitless benefit such forecasts
would bring, the Weather Bureau is
seeking dependable avenues of ap-
