WPA JOB OF 800
MILES IN SUSSEX
S91,956 Project Sought to
Give Employment to 200
Men For 9 Months
TO RECLAIM LAND

Three hundred miles of court
order" bitches will be dug over
Sussex county to reclaim sodden
farm land and save hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of crops
under a WPA project which Ben
jamin Ableman, State administra-
tor, announced recently he had for
warded to Washington for final ap-
proval The work will cost S91,-
956 The Sussex County Levy
Court, sponsor for the project, will
put up $10,944 in materials and
transportation. The share of the
federal government will be $780,
962 worth of labor. The bitches
will be dug out over present cours-
es which have filed in. These
courses are the remnants of early
bitches dug by ditch associations
armed with court orders which
gave them the right to do the
work on any property within de-
fined areas and then to levy upon
the farmers for the expense. I'm
der the WPA project the individual
farmers will be put to no expense,
Mr.. Ableman explained, although
all the bitches are of the taxable"
type, or subject to levies under the
old arrangement.
Mr.. Ableman estiamted the work
would require more than 200 men
for nine months. Quick approval
of the project in Washington is ex-
pected. although Mr.. Ableman said
he could not comment on this.
Practically all areas in the coun-
ty will be eneftted. Large saw
ings are seen for farmers who have
been losing valuable crops due to
flooding of their lands. Many acres
which cannot be planted now be-
cause they are too wet will be put
in shape to bear crops.
The project will be an extension
of drainage work already started
in Sussex county by the WPA un-
der similar arrangements.

up the patches. What few lawns
in the Milford area show an,.
greenness at all are those that
have been watered with sprinkle,
and hose pipe. J. L. Soper. direc-
tor of the State Bureau Of Mar
kets, said lack of rainfall has cYt
the yield of strawberries at least
so per cent; also he fears tba
wheat crop will be damaged. All
truck crops, Mr.. Soper said. are
being reduced materially bv the
lack of moisture. There will BE- !
cut in the production Of canta-
loupes and cucumbers if this cor
dition lasts a few more weeks. n
many cases it has been necessary
to replant late corn, as drought
and insects, which were brought
on by the dry weather, have de-
stroyed much of the paintings
Many of the stands of young ber-
ry plants" c. j Carmine. secre-
tary Of the board said. have been
almost baked in the field by the
heat" Rain clouds have passed
over the state a few times during
past several weeks but little mois-
ture has spilled over parched
farms and gardens A few sec
tions have been fortunate enough
to have had sufficient moisture
from brief thunder showers to pre-
vent damage to crops.

NO HOLIDAY ACCIDENTS
Delaware Escaped, Due to Care Of
Drivers and Police Effort

Memorial Day traffic moved
homeward through Delaware Tues
day night of last week without ac-
cident. Despite the thousands of
cars that passed over the state
highways going to resorts, fishing
centers, races, and to visit friends,
there were no serious accidents re-
ported to police who attributed
this to the care with which motor
lists drove and the extra patrols
placed at danger points. There
were comparatively few arrests.
Railroads reported a peak day
with a number of special trains
running to New York and various
resorts. Extra buses were in ser
vice to take care of traffic.

PEA CROP A FAILURE

Delaware's drought, until the
light rains in same parts of the
state, assumed alarming proper
tions and thousands of dollars
damage has already been done to
farms and gardens, agriculturists
report. Gardens and lawns in
many instances have been scared
brown by the burning rays of the
sun. Farmers as well as garden
ers are beginning to feel the pinch
of the drought. Truck crops, such
as berries, have been hard hit in
this part of Delaware. Peas are
almost complete failure, with
farmers in some sections plowing

PAYMENT OF TOWN BONDS

PAYMENT OF TOWN BONDS
The Town Commissioners start
ed out two or three years ago
with the object of paying off the
last of what are called the Town
Hall bonds before the water bonds
become due, or rather before the
shortest limit of time for their
payment was reached, which will
be next year, 1890. March 1st of
this year, there were $4,000 of
these old bonds still unpaid. S2500
of these have been Cancelled, and
the remaining $500 will be paid
the present year. This will relieve
the town of any Indebtedness save
that for the waterworks, which are
self sustaining. The parties hold
ing these bonds parted with them
with considerable reluctance. Per-
sons who have held these bonds so
tenaciously, would do well to look
out for the next issue of Town
bonds for system of sewerage,
which the people sooner or later
may demand

Gunther's is a Especial Dry
Lager" the kind most real beer
drinkers prefer. Gunther's has

Now the experts have provedit!
And you can prove it for
yourself. Taste it. Compare it
with any beer made regardless
of price! Drink it for one week

How Experts Did 1t

HOW Etpef1S Ina IL
1t was at a recent congress of
international experts that this
exhaustive comparison was
made of the best European and
Domestic beers. ALI of these
experts are members of the
International Barmen Associ-
alton with headquarters in
Geneva, Switzerland. And all
are of different nationalities
now serving the finest bars of
this country.
Not single man knew what
beer he was comparing. All he
knew was that some were from
abroad, some domestic. He had
to judge them on quality alone.
Quality of body, color and
favor.
