GAME MULCTED

Milford Sportsman Wants
Game Protected From De-

PRESERVE TREE ABODES

Declaring that game birds and
animals, weakened by lack of
food, exhaustion and struggle for
existence against stronger foes
were falling easy prey, not only of
hawks, crows, foxes, eagles and
other flesh eaters but of pot hunt
ers, Thaddeus Windsor, Milford
hotel proprietor and sportsman,
called upon conservationists and
sportsmen to feed and protect
game during this trying season.
Mr. Windsor who has made a per
sonal investigation Of conditions in
many parts of the Peninsula has
made an open appeal to all to help
save what little game is left"
citing that it is almost impossible
for many species of game birds
and animals now to get food. MI.
Windsor said that pot hunters
are tracking half-starved raccoons
to hollow trees and are chopplng
down landmark" that have been
the abode of these animals for gen
erations, in order to capture the
animals, thus destroying the pros
poets for another litter and strik-
ing blow at a popular sport. Mr..
Windsor urges sportsmen to get
together and see that this probing
of "hollers," cutting den trees and
killing all kinds of game out OF
season is stopped.

UPSETS
SUDLERSVILLE
Five Passengers and Five

FELL IN SNOW DRIFT

Sudlersville, Nd, Feb. rs Ten
persons, including five passengers,
were cut and bruised when a Penn

Afternoon. No ore was seriously
injured, said DR.. C.. H. Metcalfe,

ers and crew were grouped beside

toned the fall. Hooked to the front
engine OF the train was snow

senger cars and a milk car follow
cd the locomotives. Though the
cause of the wreck had not been de-
termined it started with the de-
railr2ent of the second engine. The
plow and first engine held the sec
ond erect but its tender toppled
over. Then, one after the other,
the baggage car and passenger
cars Topped into the drifts. The
coupling of the milk car broke
loose and it remained erect Bag
gage Master William f. Covey, of
Centreville, Nd, and John Poore,
of Clayton, Del, were the most
painfully bruised. Passengers on
the train were Mrs. George Cooper,

gineer of the derailsd engine; CD.

fireman, and C. T. Harrington,
Centreville, Md, conductor. All
three were bruised. All passeng-
ers and crew members were car
ried northward by a relief train
which arrived from Massey juno
ton several hours after the wreck.
The line, however, was blocked by
the cars through the night.

BIG GROWTH IN

Reports an Increase of More
Than Billion Dollars
MAY BALANCE BUDGET

Washington.-The United States
government. the biggest banking in
stitution in the country. is doing a
rushing business in all departments.
In the savings department the de-
posits have more than trebled In two
years.
Figures revealed in Postmaster
General Farley's annual report illu-
inmate the distrust Of private bank
ing institutions that caused hordes
of people to entrust their savings
to Uncle Sam.
On July l. 1892, there were depos-
its aggregating barely more than
S300.0OO.O00 in the postal savings de-
positories. year later there were
1,545. 100 depositors with deposits
totaling 1874. S20.623
By July 1. 1888. there were 2.342.-
1873 postal savings depositors with
deposits aggregating S1.1S7. 1S6,20S.
In addition there was on hand $751;
500, 1868 due depositors, s63.SS7 due
holders of outstanding postal saw
ings stamps. and s2.S35 In unclaimed
deposits.
There were 1883 repositories. 4

fiscal year.
Mr.. Farley reported a postal serv-
ice deficit for 1893 of S112.374. S92

cial aviation subventions. s15.335.-

ding mail for congress. the Execu-
tive departments. and the courts, and
few other items. the postmaster
general found the true deficit for
the postal service to the public to
be s5O.6S3, sos, one-third what it was
the preceding year.
Despite the falling off In revenue
due to the reduction of local post
age from 8 to 2 cents, Mr.. Farley
said that economies would bring the

minor element is lacking, the de-
feet is apparent sooner or later in
growth, yield or quality.
Recent research leads investiga-
tors to believe that many so-called
plant diseases are in reality the
consequence of nutritional def
ciencies, particularly since many of
these troubles occur on land that
has been long under cultivation.
Experimental work in recent
years has revealed that the so-called
rare elements such as iron, mag.
nesium, copper, manganese, zinc,
iodine, boron, sodium, and others
may be important in growing nor
NAL yields of farm crops. Inciden-
tally, literally dozens OF these ele-
ments are found in the natural fer
tilizer materials, of which Chilean
Nitrate is a notable example.

FOR
STREAMS
Sussex County Offers Many
Streams as Acceptable
Haunts for Maine Beavers
PELTS ARE VALUABLE

Much interest centers in the an
nouncement recently made that
Governor c. Douglass Buck and
former Governor Robert P. Robin
son, president of the Delaware
Game and Fish Commission, have
received assurances from the chief
ranger of the National Park, on
Mt. Desert Island in Maine, that a
limited number of beavers will be
given to Delaware for colonization
along some of the streams. AS
Sussex county abounds in more
small lakes, ponds, rivers and
creeks than any other section of
the State, it is likely that some of
the beavers will be placed in this
section. Lower Delaware has five
important rivers within its bound
airy and five well-known creeks.
The rivers are the famous Nanti-
coke, Indian River, Broadkiln Riv-
er, and Misspillion. The we'll
known creeks are Herring, Love
and Guinea, in the Indian River
and Rehoboth Bay sections; Vines
and Peppers in the Dagsboro Sec
ton. Aged residents throughout
the central section of lower Sussex
county well remember when beav-
ers inhabited that section and for
time flourished until their pelts
became valuable for commercial
purposes. Little, if any, attention
was given to them half a century
ago. In fact, they were little
sought after. However, when rae
coon, muskrat and opossum hides
were in demand then trappers soon
extinguished the beavers.
