MILFORD COLORED SCHOOL
NEWS

The Delaware N. F. A. judging
team won first place at the National
N. F. A. Conference which was held
in Savannah, Georgia, August 21-24.
The boys making up the winning
team were from schools at Middle
town, Laurel and Milford. The alter
nate, Absalon Davis, is from the
Slaughter Neck Chapter which is a
part of the Milford school. The en-
tire team was made up of boys who
have just completed their first year
Of agriculture.
Delaware again took first place
when Melvin Watson (Middletown
SCHOOL, scored the highest number
of points of all the individuals COM
peting in the judging contest from
the sixteen states.
Including the three teachers there
we're fourteen persons representing
Delaware at the conference. Some of
the points of interest visited while
travelling were: a camp for N. F. A.
members at orangeburg. S. c., which
is controlled and supported by the
State Association; the Penn School
on st. Helena Island which is locat-
ed on the coast Of South Carolina
and populated mostly by colored
people and three state colleges for
negroes.
More faith in agriculture was Gre
ated in the boys as they noted the
many new buildings being erected
at the state colleges for negroes in
Georgia, South Carolina and Virgin
Ia and the expansion Of their agri-
cultural programs. Those were look
ed upon as indications of progrsss
and growth In the field of agricu.-
Eure.
Each boy returned home eager to
tell of his new experiences and
ready to begin working for a better
program of farming and to win lau-
rels and praise on his own farm.

Primary Times Are
QuarrelsOme Times

It is only natural that there should
be bitter feeling in connection with
the State primaries. especially as
President Roosevelt has been engag-
ed in 'purging" in many OF the
States. The President insists that he
is trying to carry out the party pro
gram and policies.
Well, everybody knows what other
people are saying about this adven-
ture Of the head of the Administers
tion into State affairs. So. that's not
the Job for our argument as past ex-
periences remind us that primary
times are quarrelsome times.

some further slight concessions so
that they will not be on the black
list-as provided in laws of the Uni
ted States against lending money to
delinquent debtor nations.
The Canadian speech Of President

- ONE they come!
Home they comet
Every day brings its
quota Of summer va
- cationists back to
town. Most everyone has appre-
ciated the extra day between
Labor Day and the beginning Of
school, it giving everyone
chance to be settled before
thinking of the children and
school. It will be fun next
Wednesday to watch them as
they go by. unconsciously re-
vealing their attitude toward the
return to books. Most younger
children, when the days grow
shorter like to have change
from their own pursuits, but the
older boys and girls are rare
who really like to be tied down
to studies again. Most vaca-
tions are over. the winter months
are ahead. May they be as hap
py and carefree for the children
as those they have spent this
summer.

False teeth may be measured

court ruling, says recent news
item in the Chicago Daily Tribune.
The United States Dental Com
pany of Chicago reports that its
business both in the United States
and outside is growing very rap
idly; that its quick, easy, econom-
ical way Of fitting and construct
ing dentures from finest materi-
ais, with expert craftsmanship, at
very low prices, is an achieve

grateful letters in its files from
satisfied customers all over the
country testify to this.
This is a distinctly worthy serv-
ice to people who work in the
fields, mountains, or other places
where it is inconvenient for them
to find local dentists to make good
teeth for them at low prices. Adv.

Rules for Office
Behavior

Remember that good manners
and courtesy mark a persons true
character in business Office as
truly as they do at a dinner party"
"Be sparing in the exercise Of
your charm. Most bosses prefer to
pick their own charmers-after
business hours"
"Don't strive for too striking col
or combinations in your office APP
parel. Unless you have a very ex-
tensive wardrobe your confreres
will become all too familiar with
the rotation of costumes"
"Don't be a telephone chatterer.
Personal conversation in an office
should be kept brief and subdued.
Bill collectors and beaux should get
the same impersonal attention from
nine until five."
Smoking during working hours
is usually INDUCED in only by execu-
tives."
"Don't take out your bad temper
on the switchboard operator, she
can't talk back, and may have had
a bad night, too"
'The person who makes phone
call should end the conversation.
She is also the one to call back If
the telephone conversation is dis
connected"
"All personal belongings such as
makeup kits, compacts, etc., should
be kept out of sight. Do your touch
ing up in the powder room"
eff you are in a dignified office
never appear without stockings. It
is not only bad form but your legs
look better when clad!"
"Don't keep other employees from
doing their work by telling them
about your personal doings. Night
before "reminiscences are for lunch
time chatter"
"The top of your desk should con-
tain only the essentials for ones i'm
mediate work. Cluttered desks
speak of sloppy work."
