front yards, and potatoes. beans, and
onions appeared where the velvet
green had reigned supreme. Others,
with only few square feet of op-
portunity and only few hours week
to spare, also dug and planted and
watered. The aggregate results were
really worth while, even though in
many cases there was a crop failure.
The physical benefit and the feeling

The next Liberty Loan, the 3rd,
will be offered April 6, and will prob
ably be So, 600, 900, 900, drawing at
per cent. interest. Delaware will be
expected to do her share or a little
more, and of course Kent county will
be expected to uphold its end. ''Or-
ganization among both men and women
is being perfected, says the Dover
Index, 80 that when the drive begins
the latter part of mex. week, everything
will move smoothly. 1t is expected
that a very thorough canvass of the
county will be made and patriotic
citizens should be ready to respond as
literally as their means will permit.
Delaware people of all classes are
patriotic and since the money must be
had to 6ght the war, practical patri-
tism will be taking of every loan that
the Government asks for. Besides,
the loan is the very safest investment
in the world and the rate of interest
will be high enough to attract even
the selfish investor. Kent county
people and banks took about $500, OOC
of the 2d Liberty Loan. We should
not be satisfied if we do not take al
least twice that amount of the 3rC
Loan. Most of our people have beer
permitted TO go right along about theil
business as usual. This is one of oul
opportunities to DO something for th'
Nation, the cause of humanity. ant

1t will not be enough to subscribe TO
a bond or a few bonds. Every patrio
is a part of the organization to secur
the subscription of the Loan and will
be expected to talk the loan, solici
subscriptions and to aid in every wa
to make it a great success.

The new administration of Smyrna
Town Council seems to want to 90 at
things in a business like manner.
With the higher cost of work and ma
terial, with employees of the town
nearly all raised or asking for a raise
in salary, Council is confronted with
a situation that either a curtailment
be made or more revenue derived.
Some suggest raising the tax rate
from 43c on the hundred dollars to
SOC on the hundred real and to raise
the electric light rate from SC to 1Oc
per K. ". Before acting too quickly
on this important subject President
Price referred this whole subject of
finances and ways and means for rails
ing the budget to run the town for
the ensuing year to the Finance CON-
mittee composed of Charles B. Swain,
chairman; W. F. Keith and Thomas
Jefferson. They will make their re.
port at future meeting.

To meet the needs of the average
farmer, a small, sturdy looking trac-
tor of low initial cost and understand
able construction has made its ap-
pearance. Because it is built for the
agriculturist who does not profess to
be a master mechanic, it is devoid of
frills and possessed merely of bare
essentials consistent with reliable
performance, according to an illus
trated article in the April Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The wheelbase
is only SO in. and the tread-between
the wheels SO in. The engine is
bolted to the transmission housing,
the frame eliminated, and the load
carried on the front and rear axles.
A four-cylinder motor that develops
% trake horsepower is equipped with
a vaporizer to permit the use of kero-
sene as fuel, after starting with gaso-
line. The transmission is of the
selective-gear type with three speeds

wheels are II in. wide and are fitted
with cleats to afford proper traction
