that the problem of surplus milk

petition with the regular fluid milk

wheat and>corn yields in Delaware

ceived during the past two years
have been better and have encour-
aged the grain growers to some
extent" Mr.. Wilson said. The Sec
retary painted a less optimistic
picture for the fruit growers, how
ever, saying that while the apple
crop in 1885 was good, the prices
received were so low that many of
the growers made no profits. Will

FLIER LOST ON
LEAVING DOVER
Lieut.. Matthias M. Marble LO-
Gated In His Plane In the
Chesapeake Bay
8 MILES OFF ANNAPOLIS

The body of Lieut.. Matthias M.
Marple, 26-year-old Navy f1ier, who
was hurled to his death in the
Chesapeake Bay during heavy
fog, was found Monday in the
wreckage of his plane beneath "a
feet of water three miles off An
napolis. The discovery ended a
search carried on by the Naval
Academy ever since the aviator
met death on October 80 en- route
from Dover, Delaware, airport, to
the Navy Proving Ground at Dahl
gren, Va, where he was stationed.
The crew of a motor launch in
charge of Chief Boatswain J. d.
Cross, U. S. N, spotted the wreck
age form bubbles rising in the
water. 1t was hauled up by a
floating derrick hurried out from
the Academy. Lieutenant MARBLE
was seated in the cockpit wearing
his flying suit, helmet, and gloves.
He apparently had been killed in
stantly when his navy land plane,
a single-seated Boeing fighter, ca
reened into the water. He was be-
lieved to have been thrown violent
ly against a heavy telescope bomb
sight in front of his seat. His face
and head showed signs of having
been crushed by this instrument.
The body was taken to the Navy
Hospital for an autopsy to estab-
lish formal identification and de-
termine the definite cause of death.
A board of inquest was named
from the academy. The wreckage
of the plane was unloaded at
Santee Wharf at the Academy. 1t
was held for inspection by a board
Of inquiry from Dahlgren, subject
to orders of the Naval Academy.

told the National Association of
Commissioners, Secretaries and de-
partments of Agriculture at the

that: 1--WE feel that one of the
greatest immediate problems fac
ing agriculture in Delaware, at
least is the milk situation. There
is a strong indication among the

We sincerely hope that in the nea,

ious and attractive auditorium was
filled to almost its capacity Sun
day night to attend the union
church service in commemoration
of Armistice Day held under the
auspices of David c. Harrison Post,

decorated with American and Leg

DR.. Francis Burgette Short, a re-
tired minister of Wilmington NJ. E.

in Milford. DR.. Short devotes a
great deal of his time on the lee
ture platform and is much in de-
mand. His scholarly address on
"Armistice" and its meaning as ap-
piled to present day significance
was received with acclaim. He
drove many strong points home to
his hearers, in his plea for peace,
which were interspersed as is his
style, by humorous thrusts that
kept his audience interested from
beginning to end. The program
was further enlivened with vocal
and instrumental music. The new
ly organized Smyrna School Band
with but few weeks practice, made
a hit with the audience. One thing
not on the program was vocal sing
ing by one of the CCC boys of
Leipsic who was in good voice and
pleased his hearers. The program
in full was as follows: Smyrna
