The F. A. Torsch Company has
added another line to its long list
of fruit and vegetable consuming
businesses. and are buying all the
strawberries they can get at this
and other railroad stations to use
in their syrup manufacturing busin-
ess which has been started this
season. They cap, wash and clean
the berries, and then they are
dumped into barrels, where sugar
is added in liberal quantities, and
then the entire mass is worked up

Township Public Schools, came as
distinct shock to those who have
knowledge of the work that Prof.
Messessmith has done in the thir-
teen years he has worked in Della

position is loaded with greater re-
sponsibility, as he has several
large schools to look after and one
of these is the high school which
cost 100000 to build. The salary
is far above anything paid for ed
ucational work In the public
schools of this state, and for that
reason he is to be congratulated.
Prof. Messersmith is young man
with a large stock of energy, and
Il is a clear loss to Delaware to
have men of that kind depart. The
Dover schools have attained a high
state of effectiveness under his

Giving details of recent disclo-
