YOUR jewellery and accessories
L must tell a story this year,
and there are things aplenty to
make the story interesting. If 1t
is not one of color it must be one
of form, and one of the more in
triguing stories is that OF birds,
which may be worn anywhere, on
lapels, at the neckline of tail
ored blouse, on dress, on a hat.
smart women insist on birds that
are different, birds that perhaps
express a mood or trend Of
thought, and so it's nice to find
a grand collection of bird pins in
one of the downtown stores. They
are of gold or silver metal, and
sell for $1.95. SO and 81. They
are very realistic, and fit right
into the vogue for birds that is
now SO prevalent. We've sketched
one of the larger birds, parrot
on his perch, his wings Tapping
ia excitement or anger. He is
on q sturdy pin with safety
catch. There are any number Of
different types, the collection vel
worth investigating.

stitutions That Get State Funds

Members of the Legislature be-
gan a two-day inspection of insti-
tutions in New Castle County,
supported in whole or in part by

of the members of both houses and
some attaches are making the trip.
The first place visited was the
Blind Shop at 305 West Eighth
Street, Wilmington, where the leg
islators had the opportunity to see
what is being done for the sight
less in the state under the direc-
ton of the State Commission for
the Blind. The commission has re-
quested a state appropriation of
S19,O70 for the fiscal year begin
ming July 1, 1887, and $1S,070 for
next year. Former-Gov. c. Doug

to the Legislature, made no recon-
mendation as the Blind Shop is
only supported in part by state
funds. From the Blind Shop the
lawmakers went to the Edgewood
Sanatorium. This institution is

spected was the new unit recently

state. After leaving the Brandy
wine Sanatorium, the delegation

TEMPORARY BRIDGE, DOVER
Chief Engineer Mack Urges eau
tion to All Motorists

w. w. Mack, Chief Engineer of
the State Highway Department,
today made a direct appeal to all
motorists to cooperate with the
Department in using extreme eau
tion and to make every effort to
drive slowly and carefully over the
temporary bridge which has been
erected where traffic is being
shunted over Silver Lake at Dover
while a new and modern bridge is
being erected at this point; to CO.
operate with the Department in its
effort to take every precaution for
safety while providing for the un-
interrupted passage of traffic at
this spot. At this particular point
the traffic from Route Is and the
bypass through Dover of Route
113 has converged for many years
on narrow bridge which was but
20 feet wide. The Highway De-
partment is using the utmost eau
tion and has erected a two-lane
bypass wooden bridge twenty-five
feet wide, two feet wider than the
original bridge. A large sign il
Illuminated with electric lights has
been erected on the south side
slowing traffic down to fifteen
miles an hour while five smaller
"slow" signs have been erected on
State Street and Governors Av-
enue in Dover before approaching
the -detour. On the north side
where there are no street lights,
lights and torches are distributed
along the line of approach, with
twenty-four caution signs supple
mented by twelve similar ones on
the south, providing a maximum of
warning when approaching the
temporary bridge. The bridge it
self has been strengthened on the
outer edge by timber ballustrades
with two heavy cables guarding
the entrances. With these extra
precautions and with the help ask
ed of all motorists, the Department
has every hope that the building
of the new bridge will be success
fully accomplished without serious
accident

CROP AND FEED
LOANS READY
County Agent Russell E. Will
son Explains the 1897 En-
ergency Loans
FARM CREDIT BUREAU

Those farmers who may be in
need of financial assistance in
planting their crops this spring, or
in purchasing feed for their live
stock, and who are unable to OBJ
tain the necessary credit elsewhere
for such purposes, will have the
opportunity to apply for loans
which are available again this year
through the Emergency Crop and
Feed Loan Section of the Farm
Credit Administration, according
to an announcement received re-
Gently by Kent County Agent Rus
sell E. Wilson. In order to facil-
itate the handling of these loans,
an office for the receiving of appli-
cations was established about a
year ago in the civil service room
in the basement Of the Dover Post
Office building. This office is in
charge of j. K. Andrews, field su-
pervisor for this state, who sue
ceeds William G. Boxley, who re-
signed recently to accept another
position. Farmers in Kent county
may make applications for these
loans at this Office, while those in
the other two counties may apply
at the county extension Office
where applications blanks are
available. These crop and feed
loans will be made on practically
the same basis as has been follow
ed during the past several years by
the Farm Credit Administration
in that they will be confined to the
immediate and actual cash needs
of farmers for the seeding of the
1887 crops and the purchasing of
feed for livestock. The maximum
amount which may be loaned to
any one individual farmer this
year, however, is S40O, as compar-
ed to 5000 last year, and the in
terest rate is 4 percent instead of
5 1-2 percent which borrowers
paid on their 1886 loans. These
notes mature October 81, 1887,
which allows time for farmers to
sell most of their crops to meet
their obligations. AS in the past,
the security for these loans will
consist of first lien by the FEEDER
al government on the crops to be
financed, and if the money is for
the purchasing of feed for live
stock a first lien on the stock to be
fed will. be required. These loans
will be issued for crop production
and feed purchasing only. and can
not be used for the payment of
debts or for the purchasing of
livestock. Landlords or others
having an interest in these crops
on which loans have been placed
will be required to waive their
claims in favor of a first lien to the
Governor of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration until the loan is sat
isfed. Farmers will be considered
ineligible for these emergency
loans if they have applications
pending with, or who are regarded
as standard rehabilitation clients
of the Rural Resettlement Admin
istration.
