Edward Cordrey, palmar. an
adult leader, won the 1rize for the
best hobo costume, with Mary Ellen
SammOns, Glendale, second. Prizes
for the best social dancing went to
Eddie Burton and Golda Sellers,
Seaford, and for the best jitterbug,
to Betty Hastings and George, both
of Georgetown.
Gone, apparently, are the days
when farmer would call "Bossy''
to bis favorite COW and she would
respond.
Many of the cows in the large
Sussex County herds, and else
where. zoo, probably, are known
only by number.
They have names, all right, but
they are so long and complicated
due to breeding registration that
the system of numbering is con-
sidered simpler.
Thus, Martin Johnson's star COW
is listed as No. 80; Alden P. Shorts
as No IL and Tull Bros, as No. 216.
There are some who cling to ira
dition however, and in the list
of top COWS presented by the Sus-
sex County Herd Improvement AS
sociation, are George c. Simpsons
"Bo Peep; Edward Ockels' Ivy
and S. Ralph Hills Bertha.

RASH COMPLAINT

OKLAHOMA CITY = up -

a woman pushed her luck too far

paid for parking space and should
get it even if the flag didn't go
down.

times, and it suddenly began work
ing. He then noticed that a slug
had dropped into the meter. He
issued her a summons to appear

are asked to adhere to this year
include a request for all pit per-
sonnel to be at the Speedway at
least one hour previous to race
time. This will allow ample time
for warm-ups and minor adjust
ments that the stocks might need.
This will also let the officials get
the races started promptly at
the scheduled time. Another is
that after a race lineup has been
called the officials will wait only
five minutes and then the race
will be started. This means that
there will not-be any more wait
ing periods for any straggiers.
At the time of this writing all
necessary repairs to the grand
stand and track are being made
to ready the Speedway for the
opening date, which will initiate
a new general admission price.
The management of the Speed
way, in this infiationary price
world, have lowered the admit
tance fee to ninety cents

Milford, a former Smyrna dentist
and in later years was president
of the Fruit Growers National
Bank and Trust Company of
Smyrna, being succeeded recently
by Hervey p. Hall, Smyrna, and
one of the organizers and a for
mer vice-president and treasurer
of the now nationally and world
wide known firm of L. D. Caulk
Company of Milford, manufactur-
ers of dental supplies, died at his
home in Milford Friday morning
of a heart attack from which he
had been a sufferer since the sum-
mer of 1885.
Two bills are in the Delaware
Legislature affecting the Town of
Smyrna, one is to extend the
town corporate limits. One of the
sections to be added, if the Legis-
lature approves, is that immed-
lately south of Smyrna, taking in
the State Welfare Home and
other properties. Another bill
before the Legislature is one to
amend the Town Charter so that
Smyrna may have the dignity of
having a Mayor like Middletown,
Dover, Milford and other towns.
The plan is to amend the election
laws to have two Councilmen and
Mayor elected at the town elec-
ton the last Monday in February,
1889.
