SMYRNA Town Council with Presi-
- l. NJ. Price and all members
S'o.ont met in regular session Friday
sroning and discussed several matters
- interest. At the suggestion of
President Price it WAS voted to have
.wo large Welcome to Smyrna
.;gns painted and placed at both the
rortb and south approaches to Main
.t,eet These signs are to inform
rotorists and strangers touring up
.rd down the State and introduce
Cmvrna as it were before they enter
,be town from either end of the State
Road A committe of three with W.
Keith as chairman, was named to
secure the signs and provide for
,nitable inscription that will properly
advertise the Town and extend cor
dsl welcome to everybody. Some
members wanted similar signs placed
at the east and west approaches of
Commerce street but this was not
thought advisable at this time. The
object Of the big signs at both ap-
nroacbes of Main street is to catch
the eve of tourists up and down the
state highway or DUPONT Boulevard.
The committee was instructed to con-
suit Frank Morris, the local sign
usinter, and see what could be done,
the cost, &c.
Frost Gas Co. Seeks New Gas Rate
Secretary H. B G5ieves, submitted
letter from the Frost Gas Company,
F.A. WOodworth local manager, ask
ing for an amendment to their fran
chise, allowing the company the priv
ilege of raising the rate from 81. 80
per thousand cubit feet to 81. rs per
thousand cubit feet. The plea was
made for the reason the high cost of
labor, coal and other operating ex-
penses made existing circumstances a
losing game in Smyrna and to meet
the higher war prices on everything
it was necessary to raise the rate.
Mr. Grieves also stated that Arley B.
Magee, Dover attorney, for the
Frost Gas Company, wished to meet
Town Council and talk over the mat
ter and on motion Council adjourned
to meet with Mr.. Magee next Friday
evening.

Council voted to Purchase a Dexter
Valve Grinting machine for the Elec-
tric Light and Water Plant at a cost
complete of S196. 70 Chief Engineer
James Fl. Wilson was summoned from
the plant to explain the need of such
an equipment and when it was Learned
that it would save much to the towI
in keeping leaky pump valves anC
steam valves in repair. enabling Mr.
Wilson to do the work himself anC
thus saving plumbing bills. Council
had no hesitency in granting the re
quest unanimously.
Progress on Plan to Number House
Secretary Grieves, who is workin,
out a scheme of much painstakinI
care for the numbering of houses il
Smyrna, reported progress. He ais
reported the coal outlook more prom
lsing. The new CRATES which are t
be given a 30-day trial in one of III
boilers, has arrived and is being trie

RAIN STORM LAST NIGHT
BREAK UP LONG DROUGHT
SITUATION WAS BECOMING VERY
SERIOUS FOR FARMERS OF KENT
Drought Has Been Thousands of Dollar

Late Crops--Peaches Promising

Loss as it is, But Rains Will Save
Late Crops--Peaches Promising
The long dry spell was broken Mon
day by a succession of storms and
copious showers of rain in Kent county
that sent gladness into the hearts of
farmers and all those interested in
agriculture. While Smyrna and vicin-
ity only received an insufficient
sprinkle. at Brenford, Leipsic and
other places the showers were heavy.
Last evening another rain set in
which was heavy and lasted we'll
into the night. Much rain fell.
1t had been weeks since a good soak
ing rain and the ground had become
so parched and dry that vegetation,
especially early tomatoes, corn and
garden truck suffered materially. The
crops in general, the situation was
becoming serious. Some sections of
Kent County had not been visited by
a rain of any consequence since the
first of June, and in these sections the
crops were whitening in the ground.
| The torrid weather and long drought
of the past week or two, he'd practi-
cally baked all vegetation except
weeds. While the late corn crop has
not suffered to any great extent so
! far, the early corn is a failure. To-
matoes are in fairly good condition,
and only in a few sections had begun
] to show the bad effects of the long
dry spell. Cantaloupes and cucumbers
are in bad shape, the blossoms wither-
ing and dropping from the vines. In
! some sections the extremely hot sun
had cooked tomatoes on the vines, and
owing to the dry period having lasted
since the wheat crop was cut the
clover in the wheat fields has beer
practically dried up.
! Dry Weather Good for Threshing
1t is an i'll wind that blows no one
! good, however, and the dry weather
/ has enabled practically all wheat
growers to get their grain thresheC
and into the granaries, thus saving
every bit of the wheat crop. The
wheat is in excellent condition, snC
many farmers are selling their croI
at once instead of holding it as il
generally the case. They figure tina
by selling now at So 20 bushel the!
will really be making more than the!
would if they held it and were late
on permitted TO ask 50. so for it, be
cause there is always a considerabl,
shrinkage of the grain in the granary
Peaches Coming on; Apples Big Crop
Delaware peaches are now cominl
into the market, and the early GRO
is good. All indications point to
big crop of Belle of Georgia peaches
which will be marketed in anothe
week or so. but the Elbertas, whic
comprise the bulk of the Delawar
crop, are not so promising. the hot
dry weather having prevented ther
from filling out as they should. Th
early apple crop is about over.

Elite Of Germany's
Armies Hurled Into
Storm Of Peace

PARIS, July 1S.-The elite Of
Germany's armies are engaged
along the sixty miles Of the fight
ing front, writes the corresponds
ent of the Temps today. They
include three divisions Of the I'm
perial Corps Guards, with picked
regiments from Bavaria, Wurt-
temberg, Saxony and Silesian
Prussia.
The battle has been baptized
"Friedenssturm, or "Storm Of
Peace, " the correspondent reports,
who adds that the offensive has
taken on great scale, equal to
that launched on March 81.
The Germans will continue their
drive, as they have concentrated
strong reserves in the region Of
Rethel. northeast of Rheims.

Eating 'War Bread" win Increase
Average Human Life BY Ten Years
oOverzed Flour Contains the Elements Which Made Pos
sibIe the Blood and Tissue Of the Prehistoric
'IrOn Man"

Washington, D. O., JAY 15--While
many people bewail the fact that they
are obliged to eat what is commonly
known as "war bread" very few re-
alize that the conttituents of this new
flour are such as tend to greatly in
crease the life, strength and health Of
the average individual. Equally few
appreciate the fact that the ordinary
forms Of white -four, which had grown
in popularity as civilization advanced
its stages, lacked the iron and sui
pilates so essential to the human sys-
tenn.
Although purely organic, assim-
liable iron is found in beets, celery,
ONIONS, beefsteak, lamb chops and
few other eatables in minute guam
titles, the food Of modern civilization
so greatly lacked this PRIME essential
that it failed to properly nourish the
blood, tissue and nerve cells of the
body. Sufficient quantities of 'war
bread" will strengthen the entire sys-
tenn and win greatly aid digestion if
eaten regularly, as it contains consid-
cradle organic iron-which not only
clears and thins the blood, but also
nourishes and invigorates it, thus
serving as a remarkable Spring
tonic" as well.
Very few people, however, will care
to eat enough Of this bread to prop
erly revitalize their system and thus
revert to the type Of those days when
man, clothed in animal skins, cusked
the marrow from split bones and was
content to make his repast on black,

Enemy 5 Plans
Thus Far Com
pleteIy Frustrated

WASHINGTON, July IL
While official reports from Gener-
ais Pershing and Bliss were too
belated to permit formal conclu-
sions tonight by military authori-
ties here as to the situation along
the front where the German often
sive was still beating against Am
erican, French and Italian defend
ers, it was clear they read press
advices as indicating that the crisis
was past and the enemy plans
frustrated.
Secretary Baker would not ex-
press an opinion today as to what
was to be expected in France.
General March, chiefof staff, was
equally reticent and deferred a
mid-week conference with news
paper correspondents on the
ground that his official advices
would not permit him to go very
far toward making clear to his
hearers just what is transpiring
at the front.
GENERALS ARE CAUTIOUS
Apparently both Generals Perish
ing and Bliss are observing great
caution in formulating their re-
ports. They have studiously
avoided over-optimistic statements
from the first and it is understood
their reports, which have not been
made public, have been confined
strictly to the facts Of the great
action that have been established
beyond question in every case.
War department officials follow
the same practice. Among officers
generally, however, it was obvious
the battle was regarded as more
