The wind sure did blow this

came from "Old Mother Nature"
herself and some of it was caused
by the last day bass fishermen.
Harley Bourne has started to
fish again. He says, "1f the ones

Bill Thompson who works over

Several of the boys finished up

teer workers started Immediately

port of the anti-tubercnlosis socie-
ty, is the only appeal for funds
made during the year. The seal
sale was originated in 1907 in Will
mington, by Miss Emily P. Bissell,
the president of the anti-tubercu-
losis society. According to r. s.
Johnson, treasurer of the society,
approximately thirty-five thousand
dollars must be realized. from the
seal sale this year If the expanded
program for the coming year is to
be carried out.
This years Christmas Seal was
designed by Dale Nichols, one of
Americas outstanding artists,
whose paintings of red barns have
long been famous. The seal pic
lures a snowy country scene; with
the typical Nichols red barn and
white farm house in the back
ground. The foreground shows a

Preparing To Pack
Pumpkins In SUSSEX
1912 Crop Is Reported To
About Normal In Lower
Section OF Delaware

Packers in the western section of
lower Delaware have been busy
for the past week canning the
pumpkin crop. A survey of the
pumpkin growing localities dis
closes that the 1912 crop is about
normal. Many thousands of cases
will be packed to go into pies and
pastries this winter.
Whether any of the pack will be
taken over by the government for
the armed forces is not known.
Under normal conditions, ac-
cording to some growers. they yield
averages between seven and eight
tons to the acre. With a yield from
two to three tons there is but little
profit, if any, to the growers, it is
stated.
Many hundreds of acres, it is
said, have been produced in the
Delmar, LAUREL Seaford and
Bridgeville areas this year. Lines
of trucks have been noticed about
the canneries for the past few
days waiting to be unloaded.

Everyone Works To
Build Up Pile In Plaza
Square; School Chill
dren, White And Col
Ored, Contribute.

The people of the Milford COM
munity determined to amass
enough scrap to scrap the Axis, are
each day adding to the mammoth
pile that threatens to engulf Plaza
Square. School children, white and
colored, farmers, city residents, all
together are searching their attics
and cellars for scrap.
When Mayor Edward C. Evans,
Sussex county scrap salvage chair
man and Robert H. Yerkes, Milford
scrap salvage chairman, announced
that the goal had been raised to 500
tons, the public received the news
gladly, and redoubled their efforts
to reach and even surpass this high
goal.
The school children, who incl
dentally have separate piles of their
own, have done good work this
week, with the elementary school
reporting the collection of over six
tons, the pupils of the colored
school collected 800 pounds, ac-
cording to a report turned in today
by E. ]. Waters, while the Milford
Junior-Senior high school made
the following interesting collection:
Room 12-S455 pounds.
Room 7-1-54SS1s pounds-three
tires, 8 pair shoes, 6 pounds rubber
hose.
Room 11-1-S1S7% pounds-five

Houston Goes AlI-Out
To Beat The Axis
Small Kent County Community
Collects Huge Pile OF Scrap

Houston, one of the busiest small
communities in Kent county, is
taking time out to collect scrap to
beat the Axis. ...t.
With fewer than 800 people in
the district, and less than 300 in
Houston proper, $4,000 pounds of
scrap metal was collected and
weighed by last Saturday for an
average of over 100 pounds for
every man, woman and child in the
district.
The scrap pile located on the
school grounds, is steadily growing
and several residents predict that
as much again will be added be-
fore the drive is officially closed.
From the smallest tot in the first
grade to the Oldest patriarch in the
community all have had a share
and it would be impossible to name
the people who have loaned trucks.
wagons, trailers, etc, to aid in the
collection.
Wilbur H: Jump, the local scrap
salvage chairman, and Harold
Lynch, the principal of the Hous-
ton school, with a. corps of eff
cient assistants. have weighed all
the donations of scrap and slips
have been issued to each school
child stating the weight, etc. This
has produced the most wholesome
kind of rivalry among the school

be disqualified.
In order to register, residence is
required of one year in the state,
three months in the county and 80
days in the district.
Registration places will be open
from a. m. until noon and from
l p. m. until z p. m. Saturday.
The registration is expected to
be comparatively light on Saturday,
due to the fact that the vast ma
jority of the voters are already en-
rolled under the permanent regis

expected to be concentrated on

Near Smyrna
Investigators B elieve
Filler Died Instantly
When Army Craft
Plunged To Swampy
Ground.

A Army single-place pursuit
plane, flying at about 1000 feet al
titude, east of Smyrna, went into
an uncontrolled dive, struck the
marsh, buried itself eight feet in
the mud and exploded at $3.50 o.
clock last Monday morning.
Army officers, investigating, are
of the opinion that the pilot was
killed instantly.
The plane plunged into the mud
two miles from Smyrna and about
30 yards north of the Smyrna
Woodland Beach, along side small
branch of Smyrna Creek.
Immediately after the crash the
explosion kept persons from ap-
preaching.
The plane sank SO deeply in the
marsh that water seeped in and
gradually extinguished the result
ant oil and gasoline fire.
The plane landed in the marsh
on the Ernest Councill farm. One
of the first persons to reach the
wreck was Samuel Best of Wood
land Beach Road. *.
The Smyrna Fire Company was
summoned but was unable to do
anything because the wreck was too
far out in the marsh.
Small parts of the plane, blown
off by the explosion when it struck
the ground, were strewn' about the
hole in the ground.

New Gas Rationing
Plan Limits Tires
Driver Must Swear He Owns No
More Than Five To Get Card


When gasoline rationing is made
nationwide within the next few
weeks, one of the jolts probably
in store for the average motorist
is that he will not be permitted to
own more than five tires for each
vehicle registered in his name.
According to word reaching au-
tomotive circles, the applicant for
a rationing card will have to swear
that he does not own more than
five tires for each of his cars or
indicate a willingness to sell the
extra castings to the government.
East VIII Be Included
Representatives of the nations
rubber industry say this program,
which will be extended to the cas-
tern states already operating un-
der the gasoline rationing plan,
probably will result in the release
of approximately 100000 tires,
many of them new. Under the
scheme as it is anticipated, these
would be restored by the govern
ment to the tire rationing pool, as
a further means of keeping some
100000 or more passenger cars
rolling.
The tire industry already is MAX
ing plans to produce approximately
100000 reclaimed rubber tires
monthly.

Poultrymen Urged To
Use Their Facilities
Advised To Utilize Existing Brood
er House, Other Equipment

Delaware poultrymen who are
planning to help meet the call of
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
for 200,000,000 chickens during the
fall and winter months can play a
real part in helping to supplement
the supplies of meat needed for civ
ilian use.
w. C. Skoglund, extension poul-
tryman for the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service, cautions
poultrymen, however, to utilize ex-
listing brooder house and other
poultry equipment not normally
used to capacity this season of the
year. There must be no relaxation
in the usual sanitary measures
necessary to control disease. Brood
er houses must be kept clean, disin-
fected and provided with deep, alb
sorbent litter to keep the house
dry. This is especially important
in winter brooding.
During this season the birds will
have to be raised largely in con-
'anement So crowding should be
avoided and special attention
should be avoided and special at
tention should be given to feeding
practices.
Poultrymen are urged to use
pullOrum-free stock. For unless
pullorum is controlled it can be a
real problem. 1t lowers the Iva
bility of chicks and injuries the
of hens. Pullorum
disease is controlled by blood
testing each hen and practicing
rigid sanitation control in the in
cubator. Farmers should insist on
chicks free from this
disease.
For the past 20 years pullorum
esting has been done in the state
o stamp out this disease. Back in
-921-22, only one flock of 200 birds !
vas tested for pullorum; while last
rear, 20 years later, 701 flocks
S57,496 birds, were test
ID.
OF the fiocks tested 77.6 per cent
we're found free from the disease.
20 forward progress which has
Ieen made, farmers of Delaware
hould be sure to only house chicks
his fall free of this disease.
