Again the local cannery will op-

The opening date has been set for

employment to a large force of

Peeping into the history of by
gone days We find that the Mutuals
of Middletowi had one great sea-
son and always drew a big crowd
of spectators. They played nine
teen games and never lost single
contest. They played on the lot
now occupied by the Fire Company
there and they charged no fixed
price of admission but would pass
around the hat and received a lib
eral contribution in that way. Ed.
Wilson was pitcher and William
Biggs was catcher. They also had
Thompson and Mcmahon on the
team. Also had Willitts, farmer,
on the team. Everybody called
the club the best in the state.
George Garrison says he used to

basket and that all of his fruit
was shipped to New York. In
those days he says. line of peach

Smyrna, long the mecca for reg
ular and shrewd buyers, still holds
the banner for whatever the usual
buyer needs to get. In the old
days, the public swarmed to Smyr-
ma in vast numbers, all satisfied
that they could get fine article
of food or wear at very reason
able price, and it seems that none
of them were wrong when they
came away with the goods. We
noticed that in our time, people
went there by the peachwagon load
or by other conveyances and most
of them would stay all day on
Wednesday, OF on Saturday. And
even to this day, we hear people
say to one another, 1--WE will go
to Smyrna where the prices are
more reasonable and satisfying. !"
And 50 it goes from day to day.
The strange animal that was
seen at Glasgow few nights ago,
must be the same animal that was
seen at Blackiston's and Delaney's
last winter. Then the residents of
those areas saw something that
looked like a bear, ape or gorilla,
and left weird tracks in the snow.
This animal kept children indoors,
for days and scared almost every
body 70 death. Some think this
animal is linked with the flying
saucers or a strange character
coming down from Mars. The ami
NAL left tracks that showed fierce
claws while others at Blackiston
said it's foot was as large as an
elephants. Last winter the resi-
dents were preparing to form a
posse to go in serch of the crit
ter" when it then disappeared from
the scene entirely. Next week we
hope to say more about this Della
ware mystery animal.

Delaware was known as the great

Peaches gave work to thousands
of workers and anybody who could
work took job in the harvest

as hard as a pig to catch.
The tomato market will be on
the sliding scale, as was the case
in former years. That is. one day
the price will be one dollar and
the next day so cents per basket.
One day last year, the price was
70 cents, but so cents the next day.
The product is hauled to a nearby
buyer who in turn sends them to
a big packing house. A Camden,
N. j., firm buys all it can get and
usually calls for still more. One
fellow who had a small piece of
ground, grew s220 worth of toma-
toes on it. Tomatoes are the most
stable crop and a lot of growers
depend on them to give some extra
cash to the growers purse. More
and more tomatoes are grown on
the peninsula each year ard the
growers never tire of growing the
vegetable for month after month.
Quite a number from this vicin-
ity attended the Harrington Fair
on Thursday, which was Cover
ners Day. Mr.. and Mrs. Burton
Mannering, Sr., who were accom-

perfect day; and said it was COM
pletely enjoyable to them. Others,
too, said they had day that beat
all previous ones in their estima-
tion.
In the good old days, it took a

Famous Fables
By E. E. Edqor

APPETITE: With his ap-
pointment as Secretary of
Commerce in the Harding
cabinet, the social life of
former President Hoover be-
gan in earnest. Scarcely a
night passed when he and
the late Mrs. Hoover did not
entertain friends, officials or
foreign dignitaries. They
were frequently hard pressed
to keep track of the innu-
merable guests streaming in
and out of the house.
One morning, Mr.. Hoover
invited two Senators and
their wives to dinner that
evening. In the press of
business. however, he forgot
to advise Mrs. Hoover.
Shortly after he came
home at the end of the day,
he and Mrs. Hoover and sew
eral close friends sat down
to dinner. AS they were fin
ishing, the doorbell rang and
the Senators and their wives
were announced. Mr.. Hoover
sheepiShly informed his wife
and friends of the invitation.
Mrs. Hoover, never one to
lose her head in a crisis,
calmly advised him to enter
tain the new arrivals in the
library while she prepared
the dining room. The friends
were diScreetly steered into
another room.
A half-hour later, dinner
was announced for the Sec
ond time. The friends re-
appeared and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoover escorted them all
into the dining room. The
table had been laid with new
settings and the first course
was ready to be served.
Flanked by their loyal
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Hoo
yer, gracious as ever, sat
down to a second meal.

A spade was returned and Mrs.
Keen ducked, fearing her king
of diamonds was not a quick
enough entry and believing her
partner had another spade.
After winning trick two, Miss
Brash led a small heart to
dummy's king. She might have
fnessed the ten, but that would
have lost to the queen and the
defenders then could have cashed
three more spades.
At trick four, a club was led
from dummy and the queen
f1nessed. The ace Of clubs came
next and the king failed to drop.
Hoping for a miracle, Miss Brash
led another club. But no miracle
happened. Mr.. Dale won with
the king and led his last spade
for down one.
AS is often the case, success
depended upon slight and ap-
parently immaterial change in
the play. After her unwarranted
jump to three nOtrump, Miss
Brash hardly deserved a chance
for nine tricks, but she had it
just the same.
All she had to do was to play
her queen of spades under Mr..
Dale's king at trick one. Now. if
Mrs. Keen ducked the second
spade, as before, the jack could
be played from the board and
that would be the vital second
entry to dummy. Miss Brash
could take two club illnesses in
stead OF one, bringing in the
entire suit without loss.
1t is interesting to note that
Mr.. Dale could have fouled up
this line of play by dropping a
low spade on the first trick and
forcing Miss Brash to win. But
that was practically an impos-
sible play for him to make
against a bidder like Miss Brash.
After all, she might have been
In there on a doubleton ten of
spades, and in that case he
would look great holding up his
king when his partner had led
from five to the ace-queen.
