''The National Wholesale Grocers' |
Association has pledged to the govern

aid and cooperation both as individ-
uals and as members of the associa-
tion to the campaign to prevent waste
of food. Of great assistance this sup
port can be," says the Wilmington
Morning News. Even were there no
direct movement to curtail waste,
which there is and should be. the ed
ucational campaign so far conducted
has been highly beneficial. Any per-
son who reads at all must know that
during war, economies in food should
be practiced such as Mr.. Hoover and
the federal government and local or
gsnizatiOns are urging. This advice
applies particularly to those who have
ample means to purchase anything
they desire Along with others they
should remember that every bit Of
waste in food means possible depri.
walton of others not so fortunate and
our Allies in Europe where the food
problem is pressing. The economy
campaign is having good effect. Many
are the evidences of this. The Ameri.
can people will be less wasteful in
the future than they have been in the
past. And probably in the days tc
come after the war the habit of saw.

Ex-Mayor Walter Robinson and Anna

Seaford authorities are now enforcing
the dog ordinance. Will Smyrna
wait for an object lesson like this be-
fore they take action to enforce the
dog ordinance in Smyrna. Dogs,
many of them miserable, worthless
ours, are running the streets of Smyrna,
jumping over fences and annoying re-
sidents generally. Unless Council
takes action this will go on until
Smyrna has a distressing case like
Seaford. It's serious matter gen.
tlemen of Town Council. Why risk
the situation longer. There is plenty
of law laid down in the Town ordi
nance. It's your duty to see that it
is properly and rigidly enforced.

BLEEDING Useful at Times.

For ages one of the customs OF
Chinese physicians has been to thrust
fine needles into the body to let OUT
pains and various maladies and 1t ap-
pears that bleeding in this way Is
often really useful. After long OBJ
seryation in China DR.. James Camille
reports himself so much impressed
with the results that he has adopted
the procedure himself for certain
cases. Needing seems to lessen the
tension in the infamed part and to re-
lieve neuralgia and rheumatic pains,
swelling and stiffness from sprains and
fractures, and especially the indefinite
hip pains usually called sciatica.

matoes and Find Open Market Higher

Townsend, July 10.-Finding that
they are to be offered more money for
tomatoes than their contract with the
local cannery calls for, several farm
ers have already requested the can
merry owners to release them. The
farmers, as a rule, were entirely
satisfied with their contract for the
coming tomato season. at 25 cents per
basket until few days ago when a
Baltimore buyer reached town and
said he would be prepared to take all
their crops at a price not less than 50
cents to be delivered at the cars. The

so.

USERS ARE
TOO OPTIMISTIC IN
OPINION OF EXPERT
Local Willard Storage Battery
Manager Tells of Some of
the Trouble and Experience
of Users of Famous Battery.

Just as we battery men are begin
ming to be encouraged" says Mr.. Rog-
ers, the local Willard expert, and
think that car owners in general are
learning to kLow their storage batter
les, some incident will come up to
convince us that we are too optimistic.
For instance, it is not a great while
ago since a man came to one our MID
die branches and said that he wanted
his storage battery fixed. 1t wouldn't
work. he said.
The service man asked him what
the wire was for, and the motorlsr
calmly replied that his battery needed
rewinding, and that he had bought the
wire on the way down because he
didn't know whether the service sta
ton would have it or not
"A few days ago the Willard Stor-
age Battery Co., at Cleveland, received
a battery from a car owner just west
of the Mississippi.
The letter thataccompanied the bat
terry said that although the car owner
Bisbee daily review., 1917-09-09

knew that his battery was a Willard
he was rather disappointed that he
had to send it so far as Cleveland for
repairs. There didn't seem to be
any battery men around his neighbor.
hoOd-this in spite of the fact that the
local Willard Service Station, the
Minneapolis branch and service sta
ton, have advertised themselves in
page after page of newspaper space
and the national advertising advertis-
es the fact that Willard Service is ev-
erywhere.
These two are just typical of
scores of such instances that come to
our attention nearly every week. We
would be discouraged if it were not for
the fact that occasionally we run
across a car owner who doesn't know
what makes his machine run"

OXFORD GRADUATE

ABOUT THE SCHOOL
Mac H. Donaldson, Graduate
of Famous English Univer-
sity, Recites Interesting

In at least one respect, Bisbee is
a miniature New York. Every type
in the world is represented back in
the city that has a monopoly on Ma
tional league remnants, and every
type in the world is represented in
the city so recently scratched off
the l. w W. visiting list. There are
rich men and poor men and begger
men and thieves, and the usual quota
OF doctors and lawyers and mer-
chants. In the schools II natiOnali-
ties are represented, and in business
there are just about 81 varieties of
mankind. Practically every American
college of university has a graduate
engaged locally in some labor, and
at least one English university has
an alumnus here. He is Mac II.
Donaldson, in charge of the education
al work of the V NJ. c. A. His UNI
yersity is Oxford, and in view of the
fact that every boy in the state Of
Arizona has the opportunity to be-
come an alumnus of the same univer-
sity, Donaldson's remarks are most

FOR WAR;
PEACE HOPE WAVES
GERMANYS PERSISTENCE IN DE-
STROYlNG NEUTRAL SHIPS
FORCING ACTION.
U. S. NOT TO BE STAMPEDED
Intends to Proceed Deliberately But
Accumulation Of Misdeeds Is Rapid
ly Forcing Wilson to Point of
Asking For Authority.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Ambassador
Gerard has reported officially to the
State department that Germany had
tried to force him to have the 1899
treaty re-ratified under penalty Of hold
ing American newspaper men as host
ages. His message contained much
technical detail of just what the Ger
mans wanted.
Washington, Feb. 16.-All hope is
fast waning in official circles that the
clash looming between the United
States and Germany will be avoided.
Germany's persistence in her ruthless
U-boat destruction Of neutral as we'll
as belligerent merchantmen is helping
to kill hope for continuance of peace.
Caution Abandoned.
Entrance into the new ruthless u
boat campaign by an Austrian subma-
rine added to the crushing weight on
this hope, especially in view 1.-the
fact that the American ship sunk did
not have contraban of war aboard.
Germany's position, apparently, is
tn cast all caution to the winds; at
least her statesmen are quoted as say
ing she will not have regard for Amee-
lea or any one else.
Forcing Wilson's Hand.
In addition to this is the fact that
the nations business is fast piling up
tied up by Germany's BLOCKADE"
All these things are making authori-
ties dubious of the future.
The President intends to proceed de-
liberately-not to be stampeded on a
single incident, his friends say.
But the accumulation Of German
misdeeds, and the evidence that these
will grow rather than decrease, is rap
idly forcing Wilson to his next step
that of asking Congress for protection
of Americans on the seas.
Coordinate Resources.
The council of national defense con-
er, Houston and Lane, is holding daily
sessions from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. At
these conferences are gathered some
of the biggest men in Americas bust
ness, railroad and financial lines. Men
whose yearly incomes run into several
sets of figures and who are donating
their time and labor to the govern
ment in an effort Systematically to CO.
ordinate American resources.
Arrangements for mobilizing war
materials are now occupying the coun-
ellis attention with E. F. Stettinius of
J. P. Morgan & Co. outlining the meth
DDS he followed in placing large orders
from the Allies. Plans for guarding
the nations railroads in case Of war
and for making them available to the
national needs have been made, but

RELIEF is PROMISED FOR
CONGESTION IN FREIGHT
Ships for Foreign Ports Expected
to Lessen Eastern Jam.

New York, Feb. 16. - Relief from
the freight congestion caused by the
German submarine. policy is seen in
the announcement that a number of
Dutch and Scandinavian vessels would
soon depart with cargoes for their
transatlantic ports. The understand
ing that the British naval authorities
had arranged for neutral ships bound
for the northern European countries
to touch at Halifax instead of Kirk
wall and thus avoid the submarine
zone gave promise Of the resumption
of regular sailings.
The export situation, however, was
declared by traffic heads of railroads
entering this city to be the most seri~
Gus in the history of the port of New
York.
The officials said the freight con-
gestion was not serious here, but that
this is true only because of system
of almost wholesale embargoes against
shipments from the West for export.
These embargoes are responsible for
usually congested conditions west OF
Pittsburgh and Buffalo.

Government agents here have been

of alleged ammunition smugglers said
to have been unusually busy recent

agents said yesterday that Quantities
of ammunition had been struggled
across the border to Salazar both east

ammunition was being cached south
of the line for transportation on mules
to the Villa base near Vado Fusiles.

TENDING TOWARD DRY NATION
PROHIBITION FOR NATION A0-
VANCE BY CONGRESS.
Senate Agrees on Measure Barring
Liquor Advertisements for
Dry States.

Washington, Feb. IT, - Prohibition
has taken a step forward in both
branches of Congress. The Senate has
agreed on drastic amendments to the
postal appropriation bill making GRIM
inal the importation of liquor into
states which prohibit it's manufacture
and sale for beverage purposes and ex-
Guiding liquor advertisements from tho
mails in states which legislate against
such advertising.
The amendment, submitted by Sem
ator Jones of Washington, carries
drastic clause added by Senator Reed,
making it a crime punishable by $1,000
fine or from six months to two years
Imprisonment for any person to order,
purchase or cause liquor to be trans
ported into dry states for beverage
purposes.
Would Bar Liquor Ads.
This provision is designed to make
"bone dry states prohibit the manu-
facture of intoxicating liquor but per.
mits limited quantities for personal
use. # t~ is" n
A bill to bar liquor advertisements
from the mails already has passed tho
Senate. 1t may never reach vote In
the House, but by attaching the legis-
lation to the appropriation bill action
is assured.
Action in House.
In the House the national prohibi-
ton constitutional amendment was
favorably reported from the judiciary
committee with a prediction by Chair
man Webb that it would be passed
within a week. Champions of prohi-
bition greeted this announcement with
enthusiasm in spite of their realiza-
ton that passage in the House will
end action on the amendment insofar
as this session of Congress is con-
cerned.
There is no thought of action by
the Senate before March 4, when the
Sixty-fourth Congress dies.
