air. The same is true Of sweet corn
which must be cut from the cob and
dried as rapidly as possible. II this
corn is soaked for several hours and
boiled in milk with a little piece of
butter with pepper and salt added, 1t
is quite If not superior to canned corn.
Parsnips may be left in the ground
all winter and used in the early spring
before growth commences. They will
be found more tender and delicious at
this time on account of the freezing
they passed through. All of the veg
etables and herbs mentioned are of
the easiest culture requiring only med
ium quality of soils to produce fair
crops, and they should be kept free
from weeds, and constantly cultivated.
Amy special fertilization or cultivation
will be well repaid by heavier yields
and more tender products.
Weeds in fence corners and out of
the way places should be treated by
spraying with sulphate of iron, Atlas
A or Eureka weed killer. This should
be made community proposition as
concerted action is needed to insure re-
suits. Close attention TO the above
outline will result in vastly increas-
ed food supply during this coming
winter, besides furnishing the table
with number of delightful dishes
where they have only too often been
absent in the American household.

Chapter Of the American Institute Of
Banking. He also thought it would be
a good thing to have Boston, New
York and Chicago bombarded.
Every young man should be en-
couraged to marry" he said, "and
thereby we would avoid having thous-
ands of mateless women such as arc
found in France, Russia and England.
The men should marry before going to
the front, for the future of our race
requires that the flower of our youth
be represented in the future genera

"The state should make provision
for the aid of their children and there
by do something to meet the social re-

worked badly in England he said.
Selective Draft Needed
"The martial men, the natural lead
ers, the potential officers, enlisted at
the beginning of the war and were
shot down early in France. We need
selective draft in this country"
In speaking of Zeppelins and sub
marines, he said that the idea of u.s.
ing those two instruments for bonn
harding defenseless towns at the be-
ginning of the war must have been
put into the head of the kaiser by
some agent of the allies.
"They brought England to a full
realization of what war meant" he
said. "The whole amount Of damage
done by the Zeps in England is much
less than the amount saved by keeping
the cities in darkness. You have no
idea how much money is spent in
keeping dark places lighted.

country to have Boston, New York,

country up to their duty"
War Means Great Awakening
He predicted that America would
experience a great awakening through
the war, and find its soul as he said
France had. He said that however
terrible war is, there are some com

Dealers DIFFER AS
TO COAL situation
One Says There is P lenty,
Another States Winter
May See Shortage
DON'T HOARD APPEAL
TO THE CONSUMERS

Unless something is done the sliua-
ton here with respect to the supply Of
coal is going to be serious when the
cold weather comes. This was the
statement today OF one OF the largest
coal dealers in the city but at the
same time a canvass Of the other deal
crs showed that Wilmington is not
facing a shortage Of coal at this par
ticular time like other cities and towns
in this section.
The dealer said he has about 70 tons
Of egg coal, no pea coal and no nut
coal. he got a carload OF stove coal
yesterday, but ne estimated This would
be gone by tonight. lie also stated that
some of the public schools Of the city
may have 90 close II the coal supply Is
not increased lie and few other
dealers have agreed TO keep some Of In,
schools supplied but even this supply
is running low.
"The whole trouble I'm Wilmington,
said this dealer lis that some OF the
consumers are boarding coal. 7 hav,
heard Of an instance where a con.
sumcr has a two years supply in hi.
cellar"
The coal administration repeat.
their appeal 20 the patriotism OF IN,
consumers. They urge that there be-
no boarding that none buy coal except
as they need it. and that they be care
ful in using n. 70 was pointed oui
today that IL a man buys a ton from ,
dealer. another ton and another dealer
and so on until he has his cellar
fun Of coal. and the man who canno
afford 10 buy but ono ton at a time
Is going 10 suffer for there will b,
none 20 sell him.
Another dealer viewed the situation
entirely different. He stated that thcr,
is more coal In this city at the pres
emit time than here was at this time
last year and that there is no occa
sion for hysicria over the situation
There is plenty NJ coal TO take care Of
the man who needs il. 10 was stated. Il
there is no boarding. and IL is 10 pre-
vent boarding that the dealers and th'
administration as we'll are bending
every effort.
The dealers will have their report
ready for submission 10 the fuel ad
ministraier IN a short time and thel
/ IL will be possible 10 tell TO a certaint
/ Just what the condition in this cit
really is. Some dealers say they hav

ular patrons, but they are selling
on a.cash basis. Most OF them say COZ
