The call was for men above the

The Home Guard plan gives the
man who is barred from active ser

help this country in the present crisis
in this way. Notwithstanding this
great opportunity for hundreds of
Wilmingtonians to show their patriot
ism and a spirit Of being ready and
willing to help this country, only five
have enrolled.

Tho city needs motor tractors that
could be substituted for horses in the

Inc suggestion was made following
a statement by Street Commissioner
Frank d. PiersOn that it was almost i'm
possible to get horses for the city
wagons. Drivers also are scarce. al.

sprinkling service. One such letter was
received this morning from Hunter
Grubb, of No. l4Ol Delaware avenue.
Mr.. Grubb was notified that the sprink-
hing would be started as soon as it is
possible to get horses for the carts.
In suggesting tractor Colonel
sparks had in mind one which could
be geared down to meet all REQUIRE
ments and which would be capable of
drawing several wagons at a time.
The matter will probably be consid-
cred further.
