PROSPECT OF A BOYS BAND FOR
SMYRNA SCHOOLS ENCOURAGING

Students wishing to confer with
Prof. Jonn w. MacFaddin, the new
Instrumental Music Instructor of
the Smyrna Schools, will have this
opportunity to do so during the
first week of September. The
prospect of the Smyrna Schools
having a Band is encouraging.
Students who expect to begin work
on some musical instrument should
confer with Prof. MacFaddin as to
the instruments that they are best
fitted to play. Not few students
buy an instrument and come to the
teacher asking to be taught how
to play. not realizing that they
might be better fitted for another
kind of instrument. Thin lips,
thick lips, even or uneven teeth,
general physical setup all have
something very definite to do with
their playing. In the playing of a
violin the new student should first
have a good ear, that is, should be
able to sing in pitch and to have
a fair discrimination of pitch val
ues, because in no other instru-
ment is there need for closer un-

derstanding of tone. instruments
may be bought from the school on
a budget plan. Most instruments
of the band are priced around
thirty-five dollars and are payable
five dollars down and the balance
in payments of four dollars a
month. Approximate prices for
these instruments are thirty-five
dollars for comets, trumpets, clar-
inets, alto horns, tenor horns; for
ty or forty-five dollars for silver
baritone and trombones. Drum
sets will come around fifteen dol
lars. Violins from ten dollars up
to fifty dollars. All instruments
are of exceptional value and have
been giving excellent service for a
number of years. Anyone with a
second hand instrument should get
in touch with the school Office and
leave all information as to price
and kind of instrument. 1t would
be better to leave the instrument
with the price and address of own
er so that it might be viewed by
any prospective purchaser in or
out of town.

SURPLUS MILK
PRICE REDUCED
At Same Time The Delivery
Cost Is Placed on Pro-
ducers i'm Delaware
RETAIL PRICE is SAME

A reduction of approximately
one-half cent a quart on surplus
milk reaching Delaware dairymen
dealing through the Interstate
Milk Producers Association, as
well as pacing the delivery cost of
the surplus upon the producer, has
been agreed upon by a committee
of the producers association and
the dealers, it was learned last
week. The reduction is effective
from August 16 to October L, but,
as it affects only surplus milk,
there will be no reduction to the
consumer. Supply and demand is
the cause given for the reduction.
Because of good pasture, produc-
ton has been unusually high while
the consumption has dropped off,
as usual at this time of year, be-
cause of many families being out
of the city on vacations. A great
er surplus thus is left on the hands
of the dealers, who accept all the
milk delivered to them from their
production sources. and the two
uses made of surplus milk are sale
of the separated cream to ice
cream manufacturers and turning
of the surplus into butter, it is ex-
planned. Delaware milk, produced
on farms not meeting the exacting
Pennsylvania and New Jersey reg
ulations as to dairy farm santa
ton, cannot go into ice cream sold
in those states, it is pointed out
and one dealer stated that, in US
ing the surplus for making butter
there is actually loss. The action
taken at the conference between
the Interstate Associations COM
mittee and the dealers was to the
effect that it ''is agreed that the
price of surplus milk from August
16 to October 1 be based on -four
times 90 score butter in New York
delivered in Wilmington instead OF
at the farm" and ''if, in the mean
time, the Pennsylvania Control
Board sets up another method fol
basics another meeting would be
called for further adjustment, Ii
necessary" The basics refer tc
the quantity of milk produced on
the dairy farms. Production has
been varying to a great degree. il
was pointed out, and there is antic-
ipation that a limit on production
will be set so that there will be a
more uniform quantity delivered to
dealers. There are three classes OF
milk, it is explained: milk for bot
tling, cream for bottling, and the
surplus, the latter going into but
ter or to ice cream manufacturers
With the New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania restrictions, a permit must

that before she sank in 1889 she

the 31st annual session, the order
also attacked as un-American
Burr's view that Socialism and
Fascism should also be taught in

pointed to his present post in 1884.
In statement to the press

accusation and declared he was

and the Wilmington School Board
is opposed to teaching Communism
in the schools and would never
countenance it. Stouffer's letter

playing of a poster in the boards

said, by the personnel division
merely for the information of
teachers. Hugh G. Mitchell, ma

Philadelphia, curled up on his coat
and cried himself to sleep Saturday
while members of the Smyrna Fire
Company and scores of volunteer

Still sleeping, he was finally found
in afternoon by Harvey McNatt.
The boy had gone with an older
brother to deliver a telephone mes
sage and had wandered off on the
way. His absence was not discov-
cred for sometime. Being asleep
he could not hear the shouts of the
searchers through the woods. 1t
was thought he was kidnapped or
that he had fallen into the river.
