(original), a colored light blazed
forth, and the spectacle which fol-
lowed was the grandest sight of the
evening.
The "Courtship of Mother Goose"
that followed was also rendered
nicely, Miss Eba Wilds taking the
principal character with twenty
other participants.
Charlie Williams, as the Man in
the Moon" making love to "Old
Mother, and being rejected SEEM
ed to please Mother Goose's chill
dren, and especially Jack Horner"
who was very much opposed to the
match.
Allison Start, as Santa Claus"
naturally took with the children,
and after presenting each one with
a gift, Mother Goose, of course, &C
cepted his hand for treating her
children so nicely, and were made
man and wife by Mills Voshell, as
Bishop of Canterbury. Temple
Hynson, as aJck Horner, having the
comical part, did well, and little
Edith Start, as Rock-a-bye-Baby
sang a song with her free and easy
manner that took down the house
The leaders, Misses Beulah JEFF,
ferson and Emma Hudson, deserve
a great deal of credit in the effec.
tive drilling of the children, and es.
pecially in the Empire Drill, which
showed remarkable taste on theil
part.

DELAWARE'S
farm FRONT
THIS WEEK

High April winds have created a
"dust bowl" in Delaware.
The Agricultural Adjustment
Agency is adjusting farm Gains
against the Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation for damages caused by
April winds to wheat in this State.
On the farm of Harvey M. Will
son near Glendale, Sussex County,
eighteen acres of winter wheat
were entirely covered by wind
blown soil. The crop was fully
covered by insurance and the Coun-
ty AAA Association has named an
adjuster to determine the loss.
Incentive Payments
Delaware farmers will be aided
in their fight to produce more war
food by incentive payments and
higher support prices just announc-
ed by the Agricultural Adjustment
Agency and the Commodity Credit
Corporation, respectively. Della
ware crops benefited are Irish po-
tatoes soybeans and truck crops
for the fresh vegetable market.
