Katie M. Phelps, of Seaford, Urea

ciety; Mrs. Jennie S. Price, Smyrna,
Rec. Secretary, and Mrs. Kate

One of the most interesting
places in the town at this time is
! the broodery of H. S. Anthony.
There are chicks in all grades of
sizes from broilers down to those
out of the shell last week. There
are altogether about $500 of them
as clipper as they can be, requir-
ing a good supply Of rations. Every
department is as full as it should
be for comfort, and Mr.. Anthony
has no more eggs in the incubators.
The work of marketing will COM

On Friday night the hedge on
the dividing line between the farms
of George w. Cummins and James
P. Hoffecker, about the space of
two fence panels few feet from
the public road was cut down and
the ground dug away in an oval
shape to the depth of several feet.
The amount of digging done must
have required the work of two or
three men. Just what prompted
the vandalism for that is what it
was in destroying an old and so
we'll kept hedge, cannot be defined
unless it was that someone had
dreamed there was money buried
there and they were trying to find
it under cover of the darkness. The
owners would like to find out who
the parties were.
Isaac Truax has taken out let

of the late 'Dr." Abraham Trusty.
It isn't much, a scanty lot of furn-
iture and the implements with
which he titled his acre of ground,
but the law needed complying with
and he needed a decent sepucture.
About SOS in money was found in
different places about the house,
about $50 of this in Trade dollars.
He had money enough to meet his
wants and would have had more,
but for the fact that he has been
robbed once or twice. Mr.. Truax,
Mr.. Griffin and other persons of
the neighborhood speak of him as
an honest, upright and well mean
ing man, and very successful in
many of his remedies.

DOLLAR DAY IN WILMINGTON
Fifty Fourth Semi-Annual Event
to be Observed Wednesday, Feb. 5

! Wilmington's fifty-fourth semi
annual Dollar Day will be observed
on Wednesday, February 5, under
the auspices of the Mercantile Sec
tion of the Wilmington Chamber of
Commerce. Advance details of
this well-known and popular event
have been completed by the Co
operative Sales Committee of the
Mercantile Section, which is in di-
rect charge of it. For one day
only-February - thousands of
dollars worth of widely diversified
merchandise will be placed on sale
at greatly reduced prices. The COM
mittee in charge comprises thir-
teen leading retail merchants
whose long experience is an inval-
liable aid in the direction of an en-
terprise so great as the famous
Wilmington Dollar Day.
Keen competition has developed
among Wilmington merchants to
determine which shall be in the po-
sition of offering the highest grade
of seasonal merchandise at the
lowest possible prices consistent
with sound business practice, and
each is straining every effort to
make the coming Dollar Day the
premier one of the long series.
Participating stores will be des-
ignated, as usual. by the display of
placards and streamers in their
show windows, the former bearing
the copyrighted emblem of the
Chamber of Commerce, and the
use of price cards with the stores,
showing the same emblem. For
the convenience of visiting shop
pers, the Bureau of Police has au-
thorized courtesy card" to be
affixed to windshields, which will
assure visitors every police court
esy in connection with the traffic
situation.

the German army have operated so
efficiently that up to now the usual
war epidemics have not occurred
An authoritative spokesman said
today occupied territories received
special consideration. The Scandi-
navian lands, Holland, Belgium and
France, he said, gave comparative
ly little concern to medical authori-
ties, but Poland, where typhus is
endemic, furnished a field day for
medical authorities.
Germans there encountered condi-
tons which medical authorities de-
scribe as primitive. Doctors who
followed the army into Poland re-
CURED almost universal compulsory
vaccinations. Hundreds of medical
centers were set up for mothers and
babies, often in kindergartens.
This authority declared the parts
of Poland under German domino
ton are healthier today than a year
ago. He said that while the army
medical service gives some atten-
ton to civilian emergencies, the mill
itary is entirely separate from the
Reich's public health service and
leaves general problems to public
health officials.
French and foreign health experts
who have Travelled through occupied
areas of France say German mill
tary and French civil and military
doctors have saved France from ep-
idemics, and perhaps plaques, under
worst conditions of civilized times.

LET US LOOK AT THE
SITUATION

What has marked the life of the
town Of Smyrna for the past sever
al years? Has our course beer
progressive, inactive or retro
grade? The census shows that il
has been retrograde. The number
Of idle houses, stores, factories and
people points in the same direction
Whose fault is it? Is not the
town location very superior as to
transportation, health, climate and
other natural advantages? If it
is not the fault of any of the above
conditions, it must be the make up
of our people. We have precedent
for the action of the Board of
Trade of other cities and towns in
building up, advertising and en-
couraging industries in their midst.
Other towns with not half the nat
uraI advantages we have, with
little or no population have been
pushed forward by the united en-
ergy and progressive spirit of the
people and have, when once start
ed in the right way, continued to
grow and become populous and
thriving places. Is it that we can
not stir up enough of this same
spirit among our property owners,
many of whom have large num-
Der of houses idle, and which are
likely to remain useless until we
can induce some enterprises to 10
cate with us and give employment
to our people and keep them with
us. Every month we lose a few
and we get very few new ones to
take the places of those gone. It
is plain enough to any one what
the result will be if this continues.
There are plenty of enterprises
that could be started right here
and there is also plenty of money
right here. Money that does not
pay per cent, and that is no SAT-
err as now invested than it would
be if placed in some business enter
prise that would not only benefit
all property owners but would give
employment to the people. What
we want is plenty of employment
for those who are willing to work
and it is the duty of the capitalists
to provide means to give such en-
ployment. 1t is the working class
of people that ceservedly earns
what it gets and it is this class
which freely spends at home what
it earns at home. How to give
this necessary work to keep our
town prosperous and to increase
the population is the problem now
before the gentlemen composing
the Board of Trade. They need
help in many ways beside financi-
ally. They want the cooperation
of all who wish to have the town
Of Smyrna in line-if not In the

WESTINGHOUSE of the dis

taken more lives than bullets have
appeared in Europe's present battle
areas.
But to date each has been stopped
with apparently fair chances it may
not spread to dangerous proper
tons, according to information gath
cred by the Associated Press.
The explanations, promising some.
thing new on the good side in war,
come from physicians of England,
Germany. Switzerland and France.
Most Of the examples Of the Ger.

from Switzerland.
The diseases so far reported are

Influenza and cerebrospinal men,
nights are the only infectious dis
eases which have risen in England
in the present war. Better housing,
better food and improved prevent

even those two in check.
IT think" a medical official ex-
planned, 1--WE are safe in predicting
there will never be in this war an
influenza epidemic similar to those
of 1918 and 1919.
"A third Of the population has
been rehoused since 1918 in cleaner,
more sanitary dwellings.
Another factor working against
disease is the large supply Of food.
In 1918, when influenza struck, it
found a mighty ally in malnourish-
ment. Don't forget we then had 2lz
years of blockade"
Cerebrospinal meningitis. this Of
fetal said, is now treated with the
new drug suhanilamide. This has
cut its death rate from as high as
80 per cent, down to 20, and in some
hospitals to 10.

nails have commented on the surprise
when evacuated children failed to
develop epidemics. Three of the
principal worries, measles. whoop-
ing cough and diphtheria. actually
