manhood after a healthy bOyhOod,
which developed a sturdy body and
laid foundations for a clean straight
forward business character under
good environments. AS a young man
he was associated with Captain Hall
in the coal and wood business in
Milford; which prepared him for
what became his life work. with the
American Bridge Company of Phila-
delphia. In 1888 he went to Phila-
delphia to take employment by that
nationwide corporation in building
bridges. and other structural enter
prises. His ability and industrial
habits were recognized and appre-
ciated. and so he remained with the
same company until about two years
ago; when he was retired from SER
vice on account of the age limit.
Next to good business habits.
Dairy" (as he was called by
friends). maintained a fine moral
character. active with a higher type
of citizenship than the average
young men of those days, which
brought him respect of those in bus
mess and civil life circles. so that
life has been worthwhile. in happy
family and business relations. With
u moderate accumulation which is
making life happy in the latter and
less strenuous end. his days are
passed with his son and family in
Philadelphia, and a renewal of child
hood memories on the old Sussex
county farm. the place of his birth.

Milford and Georgetown. known as
the Deputy Farm" near the three

happy. He is a loyal Sussex cOun- 7
lian and proud of Delaware. For :

INTERSTATE ACTION
SAVES MILK MARKET
[Continued from Eir,t Paa1l

lCOHfiHHed from FIu PdgrI
the dealers at the call of Inter-
State officials. 1t provides that all
dealers take all milk offered by the
producers. paying for 1t according
to the use made of it. The treaty is
effective until May l, during which
time the State Milk Control Board is
expected to modify and clarity its
order so as to insure every produc-
er, of market for all of his milk.
The farmers attending this meet
ing expressed their faith In the Con-
tIOl Board but felt that its order es-
tablishing prices and terms needed
such changes as would insure ready
sale for all milk. They recognized
that any price or condition that is
economically unsound cannot con-
tinue without eventually working an
injustice upon every milk producer.
The group passed a resolution un-
animously asking that the Selling
Plan for milk which has been ef-
fective in the Philadelphia Market
for more than a decade previous to
April l, be restored.

The Milford Emergency Hospital
this year will celebrate its Dona-
tion Day on Friday, May IL. Please
bear in mind this change in dates as
Saturday is too busy a day for all
concerned, and automobile parking
on that day Is out of the question.
This year again will be baby day and
as was done last year. all babies
born in the hospital in the past five
years will receive an invitation to
visit the hospital on that day for a
reunion and talk over old times. We
are hoping that this will become an
annual affair and naturally interest
will grow. Plan to spend that after
noon at the hospital-for even If you
have no little one to bring. it's worth
coming to see three or four hundred
babies in our group. And don't for
get it's Donation Day.

Fruit juice extractiOns possess a
characteristic property known as
viscOsity. This property depends
upon the amount or quality of pee
tin present. The more pectin pres
ent. the more viscous will be the
juice. With a small glass container
called a pipette. Miss Macdonald
found the relative viscosity of the
fruit juice to be tested and by the
use of this figure determined exact
ly the amount of sugar to add to q
certain quantity of juice. With this
process a uniform product may be
obtained throughout the ripening

SUPT. c. c. REYNOLDS SAYS

Hand signals by motorists help
to reduce automobile accidents.
Many serious accidents can be
avoided if the motorist will give a
little thought and consideration for
others. The sight of hand or arm
extended is all that the driver in
the rear needs to warn him that a
change in the course or. speed is to
be made. The simple gesture Is a
courtesy which will avert an acct
dent and possible damage to the
cars or death or injury to yourself
and passengers.
