CHINESE LAUNDRY CLOSED
CITIZENS WITHOUT COLLARS
SOME ALSO ARE"SHIRTLESS" BE-
CAUSE CHING HAS GONE AWAY.
Wong Tong Left Suddenly Afraid of
the "FIu" and Many Did Not Get
Their Laundry Out In Time.

Says the Wilmington Evening
Journal: Presidents of Smyrna are in
mourning for the dear departed Wong
Fong. Not that the Chinaman has
shuffled off his mortal coil, but he has
departed from Smyrna leaving most
of the collars and shirts, and other
laundry of the town, securely locked
up in his washee-washee shop.
"On the door of Wong's laundry is
tackled a gloom-bringing notice that
he will not return until November 80.
"When the influenza made its bale
full appearance in Smyrna, Wong
Fong regarded it with daily increasing
apprehension. The "Flu" abated and
Wong Fong irOned the clothes of
SmyInians to an accompaniment of
what the Chinese regard as song.
Then a second wave of the epidemic
spread over Smyrna. Wong Fong
made some remarks in Chinese. locked
up the clean clothes of Smyrna in his
shop, and flew the "flu."
"There is deep, dark indigo blue on
the spirits of male Smyrnians, but no
bluing is refreshing their linen. The
starch has gone out of their morale" ,"
and also out of their collars. Each
day sees a shade more of mourning
added to collars and cuffs.
"The men of the town have tried
spOnging off their linen, with disas-
trous effect. They have also scrubbed
vigorously with erasers, only to add
smudges, They have even brought
their laundry to Wilmington, only to
find it tied up indefinitely in the city
scrubbemes.
Zone citizen issues the lament that
he has seventy-nine collars inaccess-
ably shut up in the Chink's laundry.
Others say they have all the way
from six to sixty collars, and cuffs by
the dozen, in the laundry and the sight
of a clean shirt-bosom brings tears to
their eyes. With collars 25 cents
each, instead of the good, old two-for-
a-quarter neck-rings of pre-war days
Smyrna men have struck on buying
new ones. They are avoiding strong
lights, pulling up their cOat-collars as
high as possible, and waiting for the
Chinaman to come back and restore
the town wash"

SUGAR ALLOTMENT
Saving in Past Month Results
in Public Being Benefited.

Edmund Mitchell, Food Administra-
for for Delaware. has sent the follow
ing notice to all food dealers in the
State, announcing an increase in the
amount of sugar each person is al
lowed monthly.
Beginning with November, each per-
son is allowed three pounds per
month, an increase of one pound over
prior regulations. The sugar may all
he obtained at one time.
More rigid regulations in the use
of flour are announced, dealers not
being permitted to sell wheat flour,
unless they at the same time sell sub
stitute flour. ViOlaters are warned,
that they will be punished and all
citizens are requested to report any
known violations to the Food Admin
istrator.
"YOur sugar certificate for NOvem-
her is based as nearly as possible on
the new allotment of three pounds
per person per month for both cook
ing and table use.
"Beginning November 1st you are
permitted to sell a consumer at one
time. sufficient to meet his require
ments for one month, but you must be
sure his requirements do not exceed
three pounds per person per month.
"It is the intention of the Food Adj
ministratiOn to furnish sugar to every
dealer that will enable him to take
care of his customers according to
this allowance, and it may be we
have made your allowance less than
It should be or more than it should he.
"If the latter is the case we will
expect you to confine your sales to the
three pounds allowance and advise
this office Of any surplus sugar you
may have.
"If we have not given you sufficient
to supply your customers and YOU
will advise us when your supply of
sugar is exhausted and give us the
number of customers you have to
serve, we will try to arrange to fur
nish you additional sugar.
"While the Food Administration is
compelled to regulate the use of all
food articles that are shipped abroad,
we will try at all times to have suffi-
cient to meet the needs of all who re-
main at home.
You will please keep up your cOun-
ter registers which we have furnish
ed you and see that they are sent
promptly to this office on the 25th
only of every month, as this is the
only means we have of checking up
our customers with the customers of
others. If any dislOyal persons pur-
chase sugar in two different stores
at the same time we will then be able
to see that they are promptly detect
ed.
1--WE will also use the counter regis
ter in making future monthly sugar
| allOtments.

FIour and SUBSTITUTES.

"The rule in the sales of flour has
not been changed. With every pound,
of wheat flour that is sold you must
at the same time sell One-quarter
pound of substitutes, even if the Gus
toner has the substitutes at home.
IF a dealer should be out of sub
stitutes he must suspend the sale of
flour until substitutes are secured.
Not having substitutes on hand will be
no excuse for selling flour without
substitutes.
Anyone violating the rules govern
ing the sale of sugar and the sale
of wheat -four with substitutes, will
be promptly reported to Washington,
who will see that they are properly
penalized.
at is not the intention of the Ad-
ministratiOn to prevent home cana
ming, but the sugar for home canning
can now only he secured upon certifi-
cate approved by this office. These
certificates will be issued promptly
upon the application of anyone who
desires sugar for this purpose, pro-
vided they have the fruit or vegetables
on hand at the time application for
sugar is made.
ut is the duty of everyone, store
keeper or consumer, to promptly re-
| port to this office the names of any
stOrekeeper or consumer who violates
i any of these rules.

After the war Europe will continue
to look to America for help; there
will be no crops raised overnight.
The 191S-19 Food Program is both
a National and a Personal Obligation.
The nation has never failed to meet
all obligations and the individual must
not.
At best the Allied table will he less
than ours, for the Allied peoples are
denying themselves more in order to
transport soldiers.
We cannot administer the food prob
lem on the basis of the present food
shortage. We must prepare for long
continuance of this shortage.
America can ship so per cent more
food this year if we are all so per
cent better Americans.
We may have monthly allowance
of three pounds Of sugar per capita
and there is besides this a limited
amount for canning, to be distributed
in accordance with regulations by the
Federal Food Administrator of your

 Supply of Seed
 The results of the investigations of the Arizona agricultural experiment station have shown that for southern Arizona the Early Baart is best adapt ed for planting when both yield and milling quality are considered.
 As early as 1899 or 1900 the plant breeding department of the Arizona agricultural experiment station began investigations. to provide Arizona with a better wheat than the Sonora and in 1902 introduced to the farmers the Early Baart. Milling and baking tests, carried on in 1915 and 1916 reported by pr. Freeman, showed the variety to be of splendid milling quality practi- cally equalling the hard winter wheats of Kansas. Last fall Arizona millers gave Early Baart wheat Q value rat ing equal to the basic hard wheat vari- cities as established by the federal gov ernment in setting the price upon wheat.

Bigger Yields and More Acres.

Bigger wheat yields are needed as well as more wheat acres. To increase the yield per acre will require good farming. and good farming involves a knowledge of how to plant and handle wheat under Arizona conditions. This year growers should observe more closely than ever the principles of good soil preparation, soil fertility early blowing, and methods and rate of seed ing to insure a good stand

 Platinum and its associates are far more rare than gold In the 1917 report of the Geological Survey. it was shown that the estimated output of platinum in the world varied from 100000 to II ,000 900 ounces, whereas the director of the hints statistics would go to show that about S30,000, 900 ounces of gold have been mined since the discov- cry of America; thus the output of gold by weight has been in the neighbor- hood of from so to 100 times that of platinum.
 As an ornament, the lustre and color of platinum is inferior to gold, but more than it's equal in indestructibility. It is superior to gold in it's infusibility and more useful for industrial purposes. Its electrical usefulness is also far greater than gold. It is a misfortune. therefore. that with only a limited and waning supply of platinum found in the placer deposits, it has ever become fashionable as an ornament and it's use as such should be discouraged in all reasonable ways. These regulations and requisition orders submitted, pre- vent further manufacture "f platinum Tor all ornamental anu non-eSSential purposes during the duration of the war It is not, however, intended to now prevent the sale of platinum jew elry already manufactured. It is be- lieved that in case of great need the women of the country will be willing to give op their platinum ornaments for the benefit of their country. At present platinum has been pro- vided for plants with total capacity oi

 trated sulphuric acid. The new plants
 and expansion of old ones are now
 planned to bring up the output to B.
