The manner in which the comment "He neither drinks, nor smokes" is often made, would lead one to believe that anyone who does is to be much avoided. I know plenty who do and they are charming company. ..

Eight Buildings of MarviI
Package Company Destroy
ed With Loss of $4,000
CAUSE UNDETERMINED

Fire of unknown origin early
Thursday destroyed two large
warehouses and six smaller build
ings on the property of the Marvil
Package Company, fronting on
Townsend street, Laurel, with
loss estimated at $4,000. The fire
started in a two-story building in
which crates and carriers were
stored and burned rapidly and then
spread to a similar building and
before the flames could be checked
spread to the six smaller buildings
in which valuable machinery was
housed. A number of families on
Townsend street, aroused by the
clamor following the discovery of
the blaze, We're ready to move out
but were assured by the firemen
that the wind was carrying the
flames away from their section and
they remained in their homes. The
Laurel firemen fought the blaze
until late Thursday afternoon when
the last vestige of fire was extin-
guished. The Delmar firemen, at
tracted by the glare which was
seen for many miles, responded
without an alarm being sent in, but
were not needed but stood by in
case of need. According to offic-
ialS of the company there were 10 II
carloads of bushel baskets, 10 car
loads of bushel hampers, and a
large supply of cantaloupe carriers
in the buildings destroyed The
Marvil concern is one of the larg-
est producers of carriers on the
peninsula but stated that with
rush work at their mill in another
section Of the town they viii be
able to supply the demand Of the

8 IN FAMILY HAVE TYPHOID
Believe Typhoid Germs Came from
Drinking Water Near Middletown

Two brothers and a nine-year-
old son of one of them are in the
Delaware Hospital suffering with
typhoid fever. The father and son
are John Blanchfield, Al, and John,
Jr., of 1918 Jessup street, Whining
ton, and the other is William T.
Blanchield, 43, of Middletown. The
latter was admitted to the hospital
several days ago, and his illness
pronounced as typhoid fever. A
short time afterward the brother,
John was admitted to the hospital
suffering with the same disease,
and the boy who had been staying
at the William 7. Blanchfield farm
shortly after. All three patients
are as well as can be expected. It
is the opinion of the city Board of
Health tht the typhoid germ came
from drinking water from springs
on the MiddletoWn farm, which
was found to be highly polluted.
John had been visiting on the farm.

THRESHER FIRE AT DENTON
James Willoughby Burned About
Face When Thresher Burns

Firemen Thursday blamed an
explosion of straw dust for a blaze
which destroyed the threshing out
fit of James Willoughby, 55, farm
er, of Hobbs, near Denton, and
burned Willoughby's arms and
face. Willoughby was putting the
last sheaves of a crop of wheat
through his machine, when a
changing wind blew chaff onto the
gasoline tractor which provided
power for the big grain separator
The hot motor set fire to the straw,
a puff of smoke and fire sprang
across to the thresher and it burst
in flames. The buildings on the
farm, owned by Misses Mary,
Blanche and Edna Hobbs were
threatened but Denton firemen pre-
vented the blaze from spreading
beyond the straw stack and outfit
Eight bushels of wheat, the last
part of the crop, were also Destroy

SMITHS AIDS
Satisfied With the Two He
Has and Will Not Make
More Deputies
TURNS DOWN REQUESTS

y. S. Marshal Smith, of the dis
trict of Delaware, whose home is
in Clayton, has only two deputy
marshals-no more, no less and as
far as he is concerned, that's all
the district of Delaware will have
in the way of deputies unless some
unforeseen emergency situation
should arise. With the revelation
that the U. S. marshals Office in
Philadelphia had established a
deputy marshaldom," rivalling the
colonelcy of Kentucky, a number
of Delaware people have become
interested in the possibility of be-
ing made an honorary deputy mar
shall. But Marshal Smith is adam
ant in his stand tht he does not in
tend to pass out marshal appoint
ments or marshal badges just like
that. Two deputy marshals are all
he needs and two deputy marshals
will be all he will have. Deputy
Marshal Duncan is the chief dep
uty, in charge of the accounts and
books of the marshal's office Dep
uty Marshal Lynch aids Marshal
Smith in the execution of the po-
lice powers of the Office and other
Federal business. Since the news
came out of the Philadelphia situa-
ton, at least 15 persons have ac-
costed Marshal Smith about dep
uties. Marshal Smith has told them
to forget it but when they get too
persistent, Marshal Smith informs
them of the iron clad rule that all
deputies must be okayed by the
Department of Justice. Just the
same, it is understood that at least
five Wilmingtonians hold honorary
deputy marshal commissions, is
sued by the U. S. marshars office
in Philadelphia. But, the order
went out from Philadelphia that
the band of honorary marshals viii
have to turn in their badges and
commissions.
