There were many fine turkey din
ners served in this part of Sussex,
and no bad reports have come as re-
suits of over-eating; good digestion
waited upon appetite and so every
body was happy. The dinner at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles C..
Donovan was one of those largely
attended. The men enjoyed part of
the day in a hunt for game, while
the ladies attended the Indian Pow
Wow" at Riverdale Park at Oak Or
chard, in the afternoon. That did
not end the feast, for duck sup
uer" was served. which was topped
off with ice cream and cake. 1t took
good digestion to carry on for those
who participated; but, all reported,
"it was just fine"

Milford, Friday, December Z, 1894

THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY Of
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, which occurred this week
finds twenty-nine States, with a
large majority of the country's pop
ulation, approving the sale and pur-
chase of intoxicating liquor. The
pattern of regulatory legislation
varies widely. Eleven States have
chosen to try Government owner
ship and distribution. Others have
set up licensing systems of one sort
or another. Restrictions placed on
the purchase of distilled spirits, reg
ulations as to where they may be
sold and methods of taxing them
show great diversity.
In Delaware the State Liquor
Commission has formulated plan
whereby liquor and beer are sold by
private individuals or firms. The
plan seems to be working out salts
factory as the first year ends.
AS to the results achieved by one
year of such experiment, opinion
naturally varies. Certain gains seem
clear. Legalized hypocrisy has been
ended. Revenues which formerly
poured entirely into the Golfers of
an illicit industry have been par
TALLY diverted to Federal, State and
local governments at a time when
they have greater need of funds.
Bootlegging, while still a serious
problem in many communities. now
meets increasingly severe cOmpeti-
: ton based on economic grounds.
Congestion of cases in the Federal
courts has been reduced. Less GER
tain is the effect of repeal on the
use of hard liquor and the cause of
temperance. Here partisans on both
sides cite, with the same gusto that
marked their interminable debate
during the prohibition era, conflict
ing estimates of consumption, sta
tistics of automobile accidents and .
police records of arrests for intoXi-
cation.
Apparently the popular verdict, at
the end of a year of repeal, strong
ly favors continuation of the ex-
pertinent now in progress rather
than a return to the regime of 1920
SO. This is indicated by the fact that
six States, with Kansas alone dis
senting, voted late in 1884 in favor
of repeal, after watching the course
of the experiment elsewhere. On the
first anniversary of the end of ma
tional prohibition only a handful of
States in the South and West re-
mains in the dry column.

Shelves Filled For The Winter
By Thrifty Kent County
HOmemakers Represent A
Real Money Saving

Nice gardens, a good supply OF
fruits and vegetables for the sum-
mer season and a sufficient amount
of these canned to last through the
winter months were the goals of
many Kent homemakers judging
from the records of this seasons
canning just sent in to the extern
sion Office, 25,790 quarts of fruit, 2O,-
673 quarts of vegetables, 5,314
quarts of meat and 1850 glasses of
jelly. These figures are very inter-
esting compared with those of four
years ago when, with approximate
ly the same number of homemakers
reporting, only one-third as many
vegetables were put up and very
little meat except pork. Although
these figures are commendable,
there is still much work to be done
to increase the average of each
farm family. The above amount of
fruits and vegetables reported by
1926 persons averages only 112 quarts
per family. This is scarcely enough
for a family of two, whereas the av-
eTage family is larger. About 6S
quarts of canned products should be
provided per person. This budget
has not yet been attained in many
of these homes although more are
working toward it.
The financial value of these can
ned foods is not to be slightingly
mentioned either for they represent
a large amount of money that does
not have to be expended for food
during the winter months. The feel
ing of security when unexpected
guests come in and the building for
the best food habits and health of
the family ere also two other impor-
tant items to consider.
More and more the homemakers
report using the pressure cooker.
This is highly recommended by the
government for all home canning
out especially for meats. Three pres
sure cookers owned by the extension
have been loaned out
Turing the year to, 20 people. Can |
hing information has been given out |
O over 800 women and canning |
meetings, held in four sections of /

Local HudsOn-TerrGpLGne
De, Ter Returns From
Sales Meeting

J. Postles Hammond, local dealer
in Terraplane and Hudson cars has
Just returned from Philadelphia.
where he attended a sales conven-
tion held by the Hudson Motor Car
Company for distributors and deal
ers in this vicinity. At the meeting
the new 1885 Terraplanes and Hud-
sons were disclosed to the organiza-
tion and the plans for the coming
year were given in detail.
we are all set for the finest year
we have had for a long time" said
Mr. Hammond on his arrival. Not
only has Hudson the finest line of
cars they have ever built for 1885
but they are backing up these cars
TO the limit with an advertising pro-
gram wide in its scope. AS is usual
with Hudson the bulk of the apprO-
priation will be spent in the news
papers.
THE new cars cannot be disclos-
ed in detail as yet and it will be
some time between the middle of
December and the first of the year
before they are on exhibition here.
I can let you in on the secret to the
extent of telling you that they are
longer, lower and more powerful
than ever. The performance which
has made Hudsons and Terraplanes
famous will be exceeded in 1885.
There are some real new fea-
lures in these cars. The roof for in
stance, is now steel like the rest of
the body. This is not only a great
safety feature but contributes tre-
mendOusly to the rigidity of the
structure. The passengers are in
closed in a comfortable steel-walled
room which has been rendered si-
lent and comfortable. Complete ven
tilation is provided.
"In addition there is another fea
ture which must remain a secret
just now. The only hint | can give
is that with it the driver is offered
an option of an entirely new method
of car control. This feature is going
to be the most talked-of improve
ment in automobiles of 1885"
