There will he a number of addition

FARM SURVEY OF

Farming conditions in Delaware
will be ascertained in a survey which
has been set in motion by DR.. NJ. NJ.

One of the projects authorized by
the Bureau of Agricultural EcOnOm-

showing the number of farm land
transfers from 1928 to date and the
value OF the property transferred.
To get this information, dozen

A second object of this project is
to collect information on the amount

MILFORD COUNCIL
METFRDAYNIGHT
Location OF Liquor Stores
Discussed; $500 ApprO-
priated For Relief.

At special meeting of the City
Council of Milford held last week
the question of regulating the num-
ber of liquor stores in Milford was
brought before the council by Mayor
Vinyard, who said that his object in
bringing this matter before the
council is the fact, that the stores
might be opened in questionable
places. He stated that he thought it
would be to the best interests of the
city to see that they were opened in
reputable business districts. at legal
hours. Members of the council were
inclined to leave this matter to the
State Liquor Commission, with the
understanding if the commission did
not act in regulating the number of
stores here. that the city council
must take the matter up for adjust
ment.
II was also voted at the meeting
to appropriate $500 for the aid of the
needy of Milford. This money, how
ever, will be placed in the hands of
the local chapter of the Kings

thy cases.
A committee composed of E. v.

and John Mayhem has also been ap-
pointed to interview the Kent and
Sussex Levy Courts, and to see If
they viii furnish funds, to be used
to provide free lunches for certain
school children at the cafeterias in
the Milford public schools. Owing TO
the fact that the State funds that
hitherto were used to purchase these
lunches have been withdrawn. it is
necessary that some action be taken.
II has been ruled however that no
funds would be furnished to chill
dren whose parents were on the list
of the relief commission. and 1t so
happens that most Of the children
whose lunches have been furnished
are those whose parents are on this
list.

1899 ACCIDENTS ON
ROADS IN PAST YEAR
20 Persons Were Killed, 5555 Injured
And s177,24l Damage Done

The majority of accidents on the
State highways last year occurred
because Of reckless driving, most OF
them happened in daylight, most OF
them when the weather was clear,
and the great majority of all acci-
dents happened on straight roads.
W. W. Mack, chief engineer OF the
State Highway Department shows
these figures in his annual report.
There were 1899 male drivers in
accidents last year and only 119 wo-
men drivers.
During the year there were $50 ac-
cidents on State roads. 20 persons
killed. 775 injured and $177,241 prop

The party is in the nature of a SER

fairs of the kind ever enjoyed i'm this
part of the State. The committee in
charge has about completed ar
rangements for the dance. Excellent
music will be provided and a de-

those who attend. The admission
charge will be s1.00 per couple.
The funds received from the ball,
after the expenses have been paid,
will be sent as a birthday present to
President Roosevelt to be placed in
an endowment fund for the Warm

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FOR HOME WORK
Demonstration Program For 1884
VIII Be Far Reaching

The Nome Demonst SatiOu pft tgFHR
for 1884 bids fair for a year of work
that will. more than ever before
meet the problems that are most
vital to the farm homes of Sussex
county.
At this time, even more than at
any other time, during the period of
depression, the people of rural Sus-
sex are aware of the existing fnan-
cial conditions. 1t is being evidenced
almost daily that women are feeling
more than ever before the necessity
of making every possible use of
home production and home made es-
sentials. So it was with these facts
in mind that the members of the ad-
visory council discussed and decided
upon a program that is purely prac-
tfcal and useful. if not by every wO-
man. by the large majority. II was
decided that any suggestions that
can be given that will help people to
use TO the fullest extent what they
have at home, should be very worth
while at this time. The result of
this decision is manifested in the
suggestions that follow for a 1884
Home Demonstration program.
Food is always a necessity and
when there is less money to spend
for food the more necessary it is to
give much thought to the careful
planning and buying of it in order
that families may Continue to be
well fed against the ravages of poor
nutrition. In view of this fact
goodly portion of the years work
will be devoted to the study and
preparation of foods.
In Sussex county a great deal of
damage was done by the storm last
fall and the winter potato crop.
with the result that many people do
not have the usual supply of pOta-
toes to carry them through the win
ter. The month of January. there

substitutes, and the more econOmi-

POSTAL RECEIPTS
In STATE HIGHER
10 Per Cent Increase Shown In State
For Year Ended June 30, 1888

Despite nationwide decreases in
postal receipts, the receipts of the
Delaware post offices show ten per
cent increase, according to the re-
port of the Postmaster General for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1888,
recently submitted to President
Roosevelt.
The report reveals that postal
business in Delaware was on a more
paying basis than the remainder of
the country. Although the receipts
Of the country decreased about 1-10th
of one per cent. the receipts in Del
aware for the year ending on June

SAFETY COUNCIL WARNS
OF MOTOR HAZARDS
insufficient Brakes Cause OF Many
Accidents, They Say

According to the Delaware Safety
Council an automobile is no better
than its brakes. Occasionally danger
may be avoided by increasing the
speed OF a car but as a rule emer-
gency conditions are such that slow
ing down or stopping as quickly as
possible is the only safe course. Sta
tistics show that more accidents are
attributed to insufficient brakes than
to any other single mechanical de-
feet or disarrangement of automo-
biles. Failures. of the steering me-
chanism should also be included
among the more important causes OF
accidents attributable to mechanical
defects or break-dOwns.
Poor tires are especially danger
GUS. II the treads are smooth, the
wheels are more likely TO lock and
slide along the road when the brakes
are applied and the probability OF
skiddiug on wet, icy surfaces is in
creased. Moreover, serious accidents
are to be expected when weak cas-
ings suddenly blow out. Good lights.
a horn and windshield wiper In suit
able operating condition and a prop
erly located rear-view mirror are
other necessary items in the equip
ment of every car.
Major repairs involving heavy ex-
pense can often be postponed for
long period by correcting minor de-
fects promptly and by making ad-
justments as soon as they are need
ed. This tends to reduce the total
amount of repair costs and spread
II out in small sums which are rela-
lively easy to pay.
There are millions OF cars In use
today that are from five TO ten years
old or more. Many Of them have
been well cared for and are still In
good running order. Their owner
should remember, however, the SUI
perior safety features Of modern au-
tomobiIes especially with respect to
stopping ability and should exercise
correspondingly greater caution
when operating In trafic.

A total of 5,224.92 gallons of
