Tn reception given Mrs. Cornelia Templeton Hatcher by Mrs. G. V. Zlnkan on Tuesday afternoon was well attended and many ladies wer' present to greet the popular presi- dent of the WIG. T. U. for Alaska. The hostess was assisted in receiv- ing and serving by Mrs. Paul H. McClelland and Mrs. Sarah Short hill presided at the tea urn. The home was tastefully decked with many autumn flowers. Mrs. Hatch CT is the house guest of MT. and Mrs. c. V. Zinkan and has been giV- ing talks and lectures to the people O. skaguay. On Thursday she gave talk to the pupils Of the school and in the evening lecture to the public in the Presbyterian church The lecture was a gem of thought and purely patriotic. The text "Sta ying by the Stuff,'' was found- cd upon a biblical truth and most appropriate. Those who were too much engaged in business CT too indifferent t6 attend missed one or the great treats of the year. Skag uay is noted for many good things but attending 'intellectual entertain monts she has yet to be credied with. One got more real first hand information on the war in the snort address of Mrs. Hatcher than could be gathered from many news items' should Mrs. Hatcher remain long enoueh in town she will again ap- pear on Sunday before the public morning and evening at the Prespy- torian church. Please go dear friends, and go up to the front. There is nothing encouraging to. a speaker in looking at empty front seats.

Demand for Canned MIX of Goats.

California has large ranch stocked with Swiss and Nubian goats, the milk from which is condensed and canned Goats milk is said to be very rich, and is in demand as nourishing food for in- valids. A well-bred milch goat will pro duce 12 times its weight in milk. 4 COW produces yearly three times her weight If she Is good milker, but the goat cannot be depended upon for a steady supply of milk at all times through the year. Therefore it Is said that canning is the best method of making goat dairy profitable. An H. ounce can of condensed goat milk re- tails at 20 cents In the West, and the sale has thus far been confined chiefly to drug stores.-Pacific Daily Review.

Dole, the home demonstration agent.
The Smyrna meeting is planned for
Tuesday. May Ia. This promises to
be an especially interesting demonstrs-
tion. Corn flour, rice flour and po-
tatoes as substitutes for wheat in
cooking are to be prepared. The
question of substitutes in general will
be discussed and It is hoped that the
women will bring favorite recipes
which they have found helpful. Some
new Liberty recipe books have been
received from Delaware College and
will be distributed at this meeting.
The great quantity of potaotes on
hand throughout the country has inf1u-
enced the food administration TO call
for an especial drive on new uses of
potatoes in home cooking. This sub
ject will he demonstrated throughout
the county at the regular meetings of

AS long as Smyrna Town Council
is endeavoring to run the electric light
plant on a business basis, that of get
ting more revenue, why are they not
up and doing and after an increased
business. They have raised the light
rate from &c to 10c per k. W. with a
minimum monthly bill of $1.2
There is no serious objection to this
if full and sufficient service is forth
coming. But why has not Smyrna
Town Council been up and doing and
supplying Clayton with current ?
Why not continuous current, night
and day? All this would mean rev.
enne. Council needs to put its plant
up-to-date. What if it does cost a
few thousand dollars. Increased busi-
ness from it should make the ex-
penditure a good investment. Get
after the business Mr.. Councilman,
but first of all rejuvenate the plant
and give consumers direct, continuous
current of a cycle to admit of modern
day electric appliances.

did not respond to an extent far in ex-

the fact that it is too close to the

''The total subscriptions through
out the country have not yet reached
the three billion figure, the tentative
amount set for the loan. But it would
be sad disappointment if the total
subscriptions did not go far beyond
that figure. The government has set
no limit.
1.-THE estimated wealth of this coun-
try is three times that of Great
Britain, about three times that Of
Germany. Comparatively speaking
therefore, if the subscriptions during
the present campaign should be double
the tentative figure of the government,
and if to the figure of the present
campaign should be added the entire
subscriptions of the two previous loans,
hardly dent would be made in oul
wealth. Think of this citizens. And
think of the loan after loan floated ir
the European countries. Then you
may conclude. then you should con-
clude, that this campaign must go fal
over the top. This country owes il
to the Allies to make a mighty sub
scription. That is the least the United
States can do.
1.-The close of the campaign will
come while the great battle is raging
What hetter message of encourage
ment could be sent to our own fighter
abroad and to our Allies than tn
news that the new Liberty Loan ha
been hugely oversubscribed? Come
then, Delawareaus, assist in this grea
and noble work. Make the per capt.
subscription larger than in any othe
state. Make the number of subscrib
ers larger in proportion to populatio
than any other state. Let Delawar
