The statement in circulation last
week that the new Steamer Clio re-
Gently purchased by the Philadelphia
& Smyrna Steamboat Company had
been taken over for Government use,
has been put at nought by the arrival
Thursday evening of the Clio at her
wharf at Smyrna Landing. 1t is true
that the boat had been held up but
thru the persistent efforts of its own
ers, the Mckay Brothers, she was re-
leased when it was found that the
boat would be valuable in transport
ing food stuffs from Smyrna to Phila.
delphia and vice versa, with stOp-over
when necessary to the Notifications
on the Delaware River by which she
will pass on every trip. The Clio
had just come out of drydock where
she was examined and had her hull
painted and had made one trip from
Fleming's Landing to Philadelphia.
When it was found that she would
not leave Delaware waters and would
be useful as above mentioned, her
owners were allowed to bring her
down, which was done Thursday morn
ing, Captain Joshua Lewis being the
master in charge. She is now at
Stokesbury's Wharf being thoroughly
scrubbed and renovated and given two
coats of white paint in readiness for
regular service between Smyrna and
Philadelphia on or about the first of
next month. The announcement which
is officially made by the Company in
another column that steamboat SER
vice from this point is a reality, is
being received with joy by the mer-
chants and farmers of this vicinity
who in these times of delay and
freight congestion see IN boat line
quicker and more dependable service.

time due announcement will be made.

FARMERS SEEK WAY TO GET
SCHOOL LABOR DURING WAR
WANT THEIR BOYS TO WORK ON
FARM WHEN BADLY NEEDED
And to do This They Ask That Sus-
pension of Compulsory School Law
be temporarily Granted

Strong sentiment has developed in
every part of the peninsula. with the
exception of the upper manufacturing
part, favoring the suspension of the
compulsory school law during the war
period. A crying need at present thru
Delaware and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland is labor for the farm.
There are many boys in the farming
sections between the age of 10 and
16 who can render most valuable help
on the farm. To meet the conditions
with which the war now confronts
them, farmers are asking that the
school ban be lifted. Most city people
think that farming is done in the sum-
mer. AS matter of fact the most
important time to the farmer is his
early planting in March and April and
his late harvesting of the crops in Oc-
tober and November. Altho there is
movement on foot to send the city
boys to the farms for the summer. yet
the really important time that boys
are needed is early spring and late
fall, just at the time when the school
takes them from the fields. Many
well-known educators who are heartily
in favor of compulsory school attend
ance believe that under present condi-
tions there should be a suspension of
the law, with such safeguards sur
rounding it that none could abuse its
purpose, namely the increasing of farm
help and not the means by which the
child can in any way evade eduration.
At largely attended meeting held in
Chestertown, Md. recently, the labor
question was fully gone over and
opinion was virtually unanimous in
favor of suspension of the school at
tendance law during the war. In
Talbot county resolutions were passed
along similar lines and already BONE
of the county superintendents are ex-
cnsing boys who actually work or
farms, from further attendance this
year in school. Permits. however,
are being issued and the authorities
are fully satisfied that actual work is
being done on the farm before the
permission is given. The permit sys.
TEN will probably be adopted thruout
the peninsula this spring, with every
probability of its continuance next
fail. Thru the permit system the
board of education can control the
matter, whereas it would cause ar
extra session of the legislatures OF
three states to suspend the compulsory
school laws entirely.

TOMATO DEMAND GROWING
Big Prices Offered and the Delaware
Acreage is to be Increased

Big Prices Offered and the Delaware
Acreage is to be Increased
The Eastern Shore, long recognized
as one of the leading tomato produc-
ing sections of America, is destined
to eclipse all former records in this
line this year if weather conditions
are at all favorable. Realizing that
the demand for this article will be
enormous, farmers over the entire
Peninsula are putting in larger acre
age than ever before. To appreciate
the meaning of this statement one
should remember that in former years
Maryland has produced more than 40
per centum. of the tomatoes canned
in the United States, and that Della
ware, small as it is, contributes
largely to the sum total of the crop.
Buyers are already placarding the
country. offering unheard-of prices for
the coming crop and urging the farm
ers to plant. At Greenwood. where
the 7. A. Snider Perserve Company
operates one of its largest plants, the
company is building a $100, 900 addi-
tion to the plant.
