GEORGETOWN, Del., Jan. 2.*..? #
DelawafV lias the Itch.
Against the comforting corners of
buildings, tree trunks and those insti
tutions of ancient Delaware, the town
whipping jiosts, men are rubbing the!
baeks and bles.-ing the dyke of Ar
gyll' in accordance with tue ancient
Highland formula.
Women", less openly demonstrative,
but no whit less comfortable, wear
worried expressions and make fre
quent trips to seelu ied places, emerg
ing therefrom with relief written
large upon their fact's.
To the children, the Innocent, re
vealing kiddies to whom every sensa
tion is a thing to be heralded, Dela
ware owes the publication of its af
fliction. If it ha-1 not been for them
the existence of l prevalence of the
itch would si ill be unkuown and Its
cause would still be a mystery.
"Charley's All Bruck Out."
Hebron schoo . in Georgetown, was
buzzing with the "twelve tirn-s" mill (
tipllcation table yesterday afternooi.
The teacher noticed unusual restive- ?
neas in ail the pupils. As they chant
?'U the tabic in unlsoii, they scratched
In thi- middle of the chant a small
hand shot up.
? "Teacher," piped its possessor.
"Charlie Pepper's a t bruck out. '
The horrified teacher turned her at
tention to the boy pointed out. lie
is the son of a prosperous farWr and
had been oue of the most vigorous
seratchers. Hastily she verified the
statement. Charles had indeed "bruek
out." His face showed re.l blotches
and these cove ed his hands and
legs.
Only the Itch, Says Doctor.
.V Georgetown doctor was hastily
summone I. "It's only the Delaware
tt<-h." was his verdict. "You see."
lie explained to the teacher, "all tie
inhabitants of our state .are eating
buckwheat cake and pork sausage at
this season of t ?? year. It Is the
real buckwheat, too, with all Its heal

the old-fashioned home made kind,

LAST TRIBUTE
The funeral of John Herburger was
held this afternoon at tlu? Presbyter
ian church and following the ser
vices his body was lntered in the
cemetery. A special train carried I
about forty friends of Mr. Herburger j
to the burial ground. A large number
were at the church.
Rev. George Good preached the
funeral address. He praised the char
acter of the deceased and condoled
his friends and relatives. Music was
given by a choir consisting of Mr. ar
Mrs. W. C. Blanchard, Alec Blanch
ard and Mrs. C arence Olson. The
floral decorations were very beautiful
and profuse, considering the lateness
of the season.
.The pall bearers were: \V. B. King,
Howard Ashley, S. C. Orchard, J. H.
Watson, H. C. Bowman and \V. G.

GOOD FELLOWS !
GET TOGETHER
' "Then life slips Its tether.
, When good follows got together, .
With a stein on the table
In tho fellowship of spring."
Tlic chorus of the old drinking song
' rang deep it Klks' hall last night
I where the members of the antlered ?
tribe Vul their friends from far and
near had gathered in social session.
Good fellows \vere together and mVth
and Jollity prevailed. From early In
the evening until the "wee sma'
! hours of the morn" the tide of merrl
I ment was high and It's safe to say
that everybody drank the cup of con
tentment to the leas.
Brother Bill King was the presid
ing officer and Judge of the Kaii
geroo court and he lived up to his
reputation of being able to "go some.
Uroth.-rs Hockett, Wurzbacher and
Jones were the police officers and in
Tapld succession each one present wa
haled before the court? and the court
got you coming and going. rh<>
fines were light, but the evidence a!
ways showed you t?> b?* guiltj of
something or other.
The orchestra, composed of George
Patrick, W. C. Blanchard. M. A.
Snow, E. L. MiUer, 11. W. Klrby, M.
Selme and Fred Callarman, did Itself
proud. Messrs. W. C. Blanchard. M.
A. Snow, A. C. Blanchard and W. R
Hillery scored repeated encores In
their quartett singing. E. M. Mcln
tyre nnd E. J. Kingsbury gave instru
mental solos that were well plaved
and heartily applauded.
Among tho extempore performers
wero Judge I^e Fevre, in his Justly
celebrated Siwash song; Charles Kln
stlne and W. F. Carmlchal In dances,
and Elmer Farmer in a recitation,
"Simple Simon."
The "beor committee" were kept
busy ? so busy In fact, that frequently
the members had to be relieved. A
har-o of smoke dimmed the long hall
and undulated before the repeated
gusts of laughter. About 160 Elks
and visitors were present nnd most
of them stayed until the strains of
"Auld Lang S>1ie" brought pne of
the Iflost successful social sessions
ever held In okagway to a close.
Those In charge deserve a great
deal of credit
Why not be chcerful? Poor Lit
