TO feed THE Horse

That increased prices are affecting ami
mails as well as persons was evidenced
today when it was learned that all stock
foods have advanced in cost since July
30, and that further soaring is looked
for by many dealers.
On the date mentioned hay was selling
for SIS ton. Today the consumer is
paying $50 and $22. Bran, which for
mrely cost SIG is now selling at $50 a
ton, while oats cost 54 cents a bushel
on large orders and 80 cents on small
consignments. Corn is bringing 81 a
bushel in the retail market, while mixed
feed is retailing at $40 ton, an ad
vance OF S4 since the first of the month
Corn has gone up five cents a bushel.
Local dealers who sell to livery stables
and persons keeping horses say there is
no excuse for the advance as no feed has
yet been shipped TO Europe. They de-
clare the market is strong all along the
line and that additional increases may
come at any time.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-As Presi-
dent OF the American Red Cross.
President Wilson today issued ma
tional appeal for funds for the relief
Of sick and wounded soldiers of the
European War.
TO the people of the United States:
Ihe present wars in Europe are
certain to impose upon the Red Cross
OF the nations engaged. the burden
which demands the sympathy and aid
OF the world. The American Red
Cross is earnestly desirous of as
sisting its sister societies in their en-
deavors TO alleviate the stress and
su1erings among the combatants. and
therefore appeals for funds to be ex-
tended impartially for the relief Of
the sick and wounded soldiers Of the
nations at war.
Contributions for this purpose
may be sent to the American Red
Cross, Washington, d. O., or to local
treasurers Of the society in other
cities.
Il confidently hope that the hui
manity and liberaIity Of the people of
he United States. so often manifested
IN the past, will cause them 10 re-

That the forts in the vicinity OF

Office is carefully concealing the details
but il IS claimed that everything IS
ready. The French mobilization is com

that regular train service viii be re-

II is believed that the French airmen
who have been scouting the frontier line
have kept General Joffre posted on all OF
the German movements and that he has
his armies massed at every strategic
point.
There is evident expectancy at the Ad.
miralty. II is accepted that the Ger.

that the land operations are well under

Democrats SHY
AS Candidates
But One Has Announced
That He Will Seek Party'S
Nomination
MANY REPUBLICANS
OUT FOR THE OFFICES

ahe political pot" is beginning to
boil in earnest, and in some sections
OF the city the coming primaries are
the sole topic of conversation. Il is
admitted that the contest at the Re-
publican primaries for many of the
county offices will be close and ex-
citing and there are many candidates
seeking the nominations. Republi-
cans feel that the real struggle will
be at the primaries, for no fear is
entertained that any of the Republi-
can candidates will be defeated by a
Democrat az the election.
For some reason the Democrats
seem to be wandering aimlessly in
the political highway, and there are
practically no candidates for the
Democratic. county Offices. There is
a feeling that the time has passed
when Democrats are willing to get up
and work at election time for the
sake Of getting defeated.
1t is stated by those who are In nosi.
tion to know that there is much dissat.
isfaction brewing within the Democratic
ranks since Chairman James Saulsburv
tried to run things. Generally this late

nounced himself as such. 1t is stated
that several prominent Democrats. who
have usually taken great interest in
their party, have been approached and
requested TO run for such and such an
office, but the reply has invariably
been: ''l'm too busy to fool with poli-
tics now" or simply the plain exclama-
tion; "Oh, what's the useg1 The gen.
eral idea seems prevalent that New
Castle county Democracy this wear will
meet its greatest defeat. Another thing
that makes Democrats worry about
becoming candidates is that thev must
pay an assessment Of $50 to get on the
primary ticket, and another assess

mated, when there is no hope Of winning

from her tunnels the warship put
