PLEDGE CARDS
ARE COMING IN

Food Administrator Mitchell, said to-
day that with other substitutes for
wheat -four. potatoes could be pur-
chased at the rate Of four pounds Of
potatoes TO one pound Of wheat nour.
All dealers and growers, however, are
warned not to unduly increase tho
price Of white potatoes, simply be
cause there may be a demand for them
through their sale as substitutes.
Food pledge cards signed BY pro-
nrietors OF hotels, restaurants and eat
ing houses throughout this city and
New Castle County. arc being returned
10 the ONCE Of the Food Administrator
In the Equitable building. The pledge
contains the regulations decided upon
al a meeting Of the eating house pro-
prletors, held at the Hotel dupont a
few weeks ego. The proprletors agree
~ observe certain meals as meatless
and wheatless and also TO serve no meat
or wheat or pork on certain days of the
week.
Complaints against certain food
stores about this city by citizens who
alleged that the proprietors were Vio-
lating the food regulations have IN
practically every instance been found
without foundation. Usually II has
been the result OF a misunderstand-
ing between the housewife and the
dealer. Through the publicity In the
newspapers given wheatless and meat
less days. the public has learned what
The Government wishes Of them In the
vav OF food conservation, and when
A food dealer or business man hand-
Ing food attempts TO violate any pro-
visions Of the regulations, there is al
ways some one handy to tip on the
food administrator about the defec-
ton.

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, Federal Home Eco

onstrations In Wilmington, says
"Dont be afraid TO try the substi'
flutes for wheat flour, because they

Now, friends, the war is over, il we's got the news alright, And everybody in this house should
 celebrate tonight;
 And sing and dance and give three
 cheers and pray to God they're free And glad that they are living 1T
 the land of liberty. And our friends so far away should
 hear from us today; We should send a postal or a greet.
 ing right away.
 And show that We are oraylng for
 their safe return once more, And waiting with our arms out stretched outside our cabin door
 Chorus
 That's how we should snow our love for all our brothers. That's how we should show our love for those across The seas, in foreign lands, they're fighting with the others, And being helped out by our sisters of the good Red Cross. It don't cost much to drop a line to friends you love so dearly. It don't take up much of your time to wish your friends good cheer. And when your greeting comes to them it takes away that dreary Feeling that you're bound to have Away from friends so dear. So, friends, now don't delay,
 And send a card today; And show your boys you're wishing them God speed on their way. And when they get your greeting They will know they're not alone, And that their friends are waiting for them in their home, sweet home.-Srgt Thomas Calvin.

GERMANS SEEK 10
 PRESSURE PEOPLE.
Frantic Efforts to Bolster Up Sink ing Spirits of the Germans-Tke Newspapers Pessimistic, See
 ing Serious Situation.

Amsterdam, Sept. 2.-Such news as filters thru from Germany contin- ues to show that the greatest anxiety and uneasieness prevails thruout the empire. The widest rumors prevail, the military leaders and Chancellor von Hertling are making frantic ap- heals to the poole to keep up courage .snd the inspired press is making ev- cry effort to make the people believe that the military situation is not seri- ous.
 The German war correspondents take comfort in the reflections that inc operations on the western front are going satisfactorily and that a "straight line" has been now gained, which they declare "simplifes the de- fense and saves troops" while the enemy is left in possession of "an arid and completely devastated craterfield in the Somme desert"
 Newspapers Grow Pessimistic.
 Germany's growing realization of what the aIlleU flcIOTleS III rance and Flanders mean continue to be re- aected in the change in toe of the German press. An official dispatch today quotes the following from the Cologne Gazette;
 "The struggle going on on the southern front becomes every day greater and more formidable. The greatest German offensive cannot ev- en becompared to the present fights. We must not let the relative calm reigning in some sections deceive Formidable forces are gathered there. Are these troops in need of rest or are they designed for fresh fights, ready to attack on the first oppor- tunity?"
 This paper conceded that it does not understand Foch's strategy and adds:
 "Our staff must take the necessary dispositions to meet any painful even tualities"

LIGHTNING STROKE FATAL.
Young Man at Eagleton, Driving
 Team Killed Friday.

A young man by the name of Ryan, in the employ of the Crutchfield Lum- Der Company, was killed Friday aft ernoon by stroke of lightning, one mile out from Eagleton. He was driv- ing four-mule lumber wagon, com ing in from the sawmill near Black fork when the accident occurred. When the lightning struck him he was riding one of the mules and the same bolt knocked down two of the mules, but they were not killed. There were five wagons in a bunch and several of the teamsters were shocked by the light hing, but'n none was hurt.
 Young Ryan had been in the em- ploy of the company only a few days, his home being at the head of flaw Creek in Scott county. On account of swollen streams and the lack of tele- phone facilities the managers of the company had not been able to commu- nicate with his parents up to Satur- day morning.
