went from his home along the
Philadelphia pike, north of the
city, in scant attire and carrying
a shot gun in pursuit of parties

damaged in front of his home
which he had promised to watch
for its owner. AS he approached
the parties fled and as they refus-
ed to halt he fired in the air. One
of them, Thomas Byrne, aged Is,
stopped and surrendered but his
companion reached a waiting car
down the road and disappeared,
Byrne was turned over to police

Going from Wilmington to their

mobile on a dark and rainy night
last week Richard Wiley and farm
lily had an add experience. The car
having come to a sudden stop, Mr..
Wiley found he was off the direct

tank was empty and he set out to
find house where he might OBJ
tain supply. He tramped about
for several hours and after dawn
found he was in the rear yard of
a house on his own farm. His car
was in sight on a back road which
he had turned into in the dark
ness. The family were none the
worse for their enforced stay in
the car so near home.

WHEAT PRICES TO HOLD
Railroads Urge Farmers To
Dispose Of Crop Now

Fairfax Harrison, chairman Of
the Railroads War Board, auth
orizes the following:
We are assured that the price of
wheat determined by the Pres
ident will be maintained through
out the year by the food admins
tration and that there can be no
objective in holding wheat. In
fact, the farmer saves interest and
deterioration by marketing early.
At the present time the railways
can handle more wheat to storage
points for ready distribution and
to mills to be manufactured into
-four for domestic consumption
and expectation to our Allies,
where it is much needed, and for
which ships are available at ports.
The railways wish to appeal to the
farmers to bring their wheat to
market now. Later in the fall the
handling of many more products
will cause congestion and delays.
The railways are now being op-
Grated in common to serve the en-
tire community. The demands for
movements of military and sup
plies will be an increasing burden.
Therefore, the railways must have
the cooperation of the entire COM
munity.
