"UNCLE SAM" WANTS DOyER TO-
MATOES

The Dover Canning Company has
been notified to set aside eighteen
per cent of its output Of tomatoes this
year for the use of the Government.
This would indicate that nearly one
fifth of the product of all of the can
neries will be taken over for the use
of the army. Little attention was
paid to the first notice, but when the
second notice came the officials lost
no time in replying, "all right, IN
Gle Sam. you win. The tomatoes are
yours. rs."-Dover News.

GOVERNOR TO STORE WHEAT
HERE

A federal agent of the Department
Of Agriculture of the United States
Government was in the city yesterday
making arrangements for the storage
of wheat from Mason and adjoining
counties in some warehouse in Mays
vile, under the provisions of the re-
cent government rulings. 1t is thought
probable that the wheat will be stored
in the large bins at the warehouse Of
j. c. Everett & Co., on East Second
street. This building has plenty Of
storage room and is thoroughly equip
ped to not alone handle the wheat but
to clean it and to ship it out at a
small cost.

A NEW BARRETT.LINE TOWBOAT

The Dover News says: A new tow
boat built for the Barrett Line has
Just been completed ready for the ma
chinery at ihe Garrett Boat Yards at
Levanna, across the river opposite
Dover. About 30 men are employed
at the Levanna Mills at present.
Some time ago plans were on foot to
turn these yards into a plant for con-
structing steel hulls and barges in
stead of wood but the war interfered
and the contemplated change has been
postponed.

NO SECRET TREATIES

When Germany invaded Belgium
she sought to excuse herself on the
ground that Belgium was an ally of
England anyway--and she pretended
that she found secret treaty to that
effect in the Belgium archives at
Brussels. When she invaded Serbia
she told exactly the same story. And
now from Berlin comes the charge
that the United States has had a
secret treaty with England ever
since the beginning of the war, bind
ing us to aid the allies in every pos
sible way. 1t is singular how Ger
man trickery and perjury exposes it
self. Every American knows that
this country has no Secret treaties"
Every treaty has to be passed upon
by the senate, and there is no way by
which any such agreement could even
come before that body without the
public knowing.

WHY NOT BE A POTATRIOT!

The succulent tuber bids fair to join
the Dodo unless additional persons
join the ranks and plant potatoes, says
Patriotic Pioneer. Be a potatriot!
That should be the slogen of the day.
Touch if you dare this old gray head,
butts pare the potato patch! Would
you be exaked above other men?
Plant potatoes. Be a potatriot. Would
you be regular hero? Plant pota-
toes. Be a potatriot. Would you
gain immortal fame? Go forth into
the fields and make two potatoes
grow where one grew before.
The potato has long been looked
upon as mans best friend. 1t is the
housewives invariable ,last resource.
"What shall we have for supper to-
night, dear?"
ooh, you might fry few potatoes. F"
And there you are.
But the potato has been hunted al
most to extinction. We have revealed
in potatoes as though nothing could
ever diminish their generous abund-
ance. We've had potatoes boiled,
fried, mashed, baked, and what-notted
by young housewives who love to try
experiments on the digestive appara-
tus of the particular adult male who
happens to be their partner in the
battle of life. Take away the pota-
to and life at best would be but a
dull and drab existence for millions.
Be a potatriot!

UNIFORMS OF STATE
TROOPS ARE SELECTED

A uniform which is distinctive and
military has been prescribed for the

the provisions of the law against un-
authorized use of the uniform Of the

regulation blouse as it has no upper
pockets and does not have two Nor
folk pleats running from front to
back over the shoulder; olive drab
cotton riding breeches, laced at the
knee, with side pockets and no hip
pockets; canvas leggins; and russell
army shoes. All buttons will be dull
bronze and will bear the seal of the
state.
The orders have been issued for the
above from the Office of the command
err of the home guard, who also an
nounces that rifles are not available
at the present. He has appealed to
