who he was working for i'll carrying the
bomb on the ship. Then the man told
the officials that he had found the bomb

not telling the truth and then he said
that some one had given him the bomb.
Then the officials tried to get more out
of the man, when he evidently became
frightened at the prospect of revealing
his secret and would say no more.

The prisoner is facing the severest

want to know if he had any accomplice

No Matter Where They Are Sta
toned, at Home Or Abroad

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 27.-The voting
preferences Of nearly one-tenth Of the
electorate of New York state, as ex-
next, will not be known until nearly
eight weeks later.
This unique condition arises from
the fact that approximately 1851 900
of the 100000 voters are now en-
rolled in the military and naval forces
Of the United States, and consequently
will be obliged to record their polit-
ical choice under the soldier vote pro-
visions Of the election law The vot-'
ers in federal service will cast their
ballots wherever they are stationed,
whether in France, Hawaii, Panama,

Guard and National army, or on board
ships Of the navy.
In the event of close contests, either
on the woman suffrage referendum,
the race for the attorney generalship,
or in some local or municipal cam
paign, the ultimate result possibly
may not be known until the soldier
vote is canvassed by Secretary of
State Francis M. Hugo, not later than
December 80.
An interesting feature Of last years

was the election Of an assessor in the
city of Cohoes by the vote of one resi-

Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead Of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse the
liver in a soothing, healing way. When
the liver and bowels are performing their
natural functions, away goes indigestion
and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods
you should take Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without

him and the other to be transmitted
to the office of the secretary Of state
Of Albany. Three representatives of
Secretary Hugo's office already have
departed for France to aid in taking
the soldier vote.
The election law provides that the
ballots of the soldiers and sailors shall
be counted by the election boards in
the districts where the men have their
legal residence. After each soldier or
sailor marks his ballot, he seals it in
an envelope bearing his name, his

The envelope is then deposited in the
ballot box in the field or on shipboard.
After the polls are closed, the ballots
will be sent to Secretary Hugo's Of

sent to the election boards in the re-
spective home districts of the voters.
On a designated day, the vote will be
counted by the local boards. The re-

ed the exhibits and with his assist
ant it was about four hours before
all the ribbons were placed.
There is no reflection upon a
mans corn if he showed and did
not receive a ribbon. The competi-
ton was so sharp that many ex-
cellent samples were below the
winning four. However there was
not an exhibitor who did not feel
we'll paid for his trouble in select
ing his sample. 1t was gratifying
to note the number of new exhibit
ors in the show. Many of the ex-
hibitors saw where their samples
fell short and went home determin-
ed to come back strong next year.
The farmers of New Castle
County are to be congratulated
upon this show. The County Agent
desires to urge that the farmers Of
the County get acquainted with the
ribbon winners and if your corn is
not up to standard see them about
seed for next year. 1t is obvious
that the sample at the show repre-
scented the best the exhibitor had
but a sample of show corn cannot
be selected from a crop of poor
corn and it is also obvious that if
his sample won honors at this
show, that he has a crib of corn at
home that should be use for moth
ing else than seed over the state.
The 1918 State Corn Show is to
be held at Middletown January 2
ga. The county Show is a prep
aratory school for the State Show
and judging from the number and
quality of the exhibits at our Coun-
ty Show, Delaware will have her
record State Show in January. New
Castle County must follow up her
County Show record and set pace
down at Middletown that Kent and
Sussex Counties will have to dust
to equal.

NEWARK HIGH
OPENS SEASON
Schedule For The Season An.
nounced

Under the careful direction of
Coach Baumgartner of Delaware
College, the local High School team
has developed into fast organiza-
ton.
With only two veterans, condi-
tons at the beginning of the sea-
son seemed anything but promis-
ing, but the green material has
surpassed all expectations, and we
have in our belief, team that will
show the stuff.
Armstrong and Moore, the star
forwards, work together in perfect
accord, and are sure shots from all
corners of the floor. Williams, our
center, has attracted attention by
his sure shooting and remarkable
endurace. Captain Ramsey is the
same fighting guard that he proved
himself last season. The other
position is being holly contested
by Robinson and Rosseland. Both
are reliable guards, and it will be
difficult to make a chance. Rowan
is pushing Williams for the center
position. While P. Moore and
Maffit are prepared to fill a vac
ancy at any time.
The schedule is as follows:
Dec. 14-Dover H. S. at Dover.
Dec. 15-Wesley Collegiate Insti-
tute at Dover.
Dec. 1S-W. F. S. at Wilmington.
Jan. Nv. H. S. at Wilmington.

Submarine VS.. U-Boat
May Be Nations Last
Resort to Carry Food

New York, May 10.-There is un-
disguised RELIEF IN shipping circles
over the news that the hasty plan of
building fleet of wooden steamships
to counteract the submarine cam
paign will probably be abandoned in
favor of the more practical scheme
OF constructing the ships of steel.
ana that this scheme has already en-
listed the attention of some of the
foremost business executives in the
country.
The tentative policy which lies be-
hind all this may be expressed under
three heads:
First. To place our main depend
ence upon the number of armed
shlps, patrol boats, destroyers, sub
marine chasers and craft of every
KIND, rather than upon special inven-
lions for destroying the submarine.
Second. To build as many mod
erate-sized steel freighters as possi-
ple' boats with sufficient speed and
armament to make them virtually
cargo-carrying destroyers.
Third. To turn the trend of our
inventive and mechanical genius to
ward the development of a success
ful submarine cargo carrier, and to
prepare ourselves to turn out such a
poat In enormous numbers, in the
belief that If the U-boat campaign
hnally develops into finish fight the
submersible merchantmen will be its
solution,

Senator William C. Mcconnell OF
Shamokin, and a Northumberland
delegation called on Highway Com
missioner Black in the interest OF
good roads in northumberland
county. with especial reference to
that portion of State Highway Route
running from Sunbury to Paxinos.
This road is an old turnpike and is
one of the most important highways
in that section of the State.
Northumberland county's share of
prospective appropriations was
taken up at length in the conference
and plans were discussed whereby
the county could appropriate equal
amounts for the purpose of road i'm
provement. Highway Commissioner
Black assured the delegation that
early improvement of some of the
main routes in northumberland
county would be made, provided the
Legislature makes adequate appro-
priations. In addition to Senator

STEEL TOWER IN
FOREST SERVICE
Contract Let by State Officials
Will Make Supervision
Much Easier


The Chief Forest Fire Warden OF
the State Department of Forestry
has signed a contract for the pur-
chase of sixty-three-foot steel OBJ
servation tower, to be erected on the
White Deer State Forest in Union
county, near the Forest House. This
Will be the fifth tower of its kind in
Pennsylvania, and the first of a
series of about hundred which 1t
is proposed to erect in the forested
parts of the State as an aid in con-
trolling forest fires.
The tower will be crowned with a
circular built-in room ABOUT seven or
eight feet in diameter, with a con-
unuous glass window around the
whole circumference. At the begin
ming of the forest fire seasons the
room will be stocked with --fnstru-
ments and provisions, so that fire
guard may be on duty every hour.
The tower will be connected with
forest headquarters and other tow
ers by telephone. Many of those
who have leased camp sites in this
region have asked permission to in
stall telephones in their camps and
connect with this line. The permis-
sion will probably be granted.
