Princeton Potato Market.

There is no let up to the stream
Of potato-laden wagons which are ar
irving at the warehouses although not
as great a quantity Of spuds were
marketed this week as last.
Buyers are shipping as rapidly as
possible to various points as they are
not handicapped by shortage of cars.
About Is cars were shipped from this
point during the past seven days.
Prices range from $1.85 to $1.95 per
cwt., which is 10 cents higher than
those prevailing last week,
Late potato prospects are not as
good as they were, lack of rain having
prevented the tubers from attaining
an average size, although the. quality
is good.

Latest War News.

Germany's third line Of defense has been
smashed. the British having driven home their.
determined push to the canal du Nord and
their progress has not been checked according
to latest cable reports. q They have already
driven wedge into the German defenses in
the sector between the railway sectors of
Douai and Cambria, and this places the enemy
in perilous position. There seems to be no
possibility OF the enemy checking the British
drive on the canal line. and unless he dees Il
will spell disaster.
The story Of Reorganization and rebellion
among the Hun troops comes from an au-
thenitc source, and this would mean the IN
ability of the German high command to re-
construct its defensive formation in time even
to hold up the British offensive along the
canal positions it now holds A Determines
effort is. however, being made by the enemy
to check the advance.
Reports from the north and south sectors In
/ dictate that the whole Of the, British front is
being moved forward and that the INNS are
running faster than they were ever known to
run before. They do not take kindly to those
tanks, and they always: maintained an abhor-
renee for bayonets for the reason that they
are towards and could never be trained Ito

The New Flour Regulations.

New wheat flour regulations an
nounced by Herbert C.. Hoover, United
States food administrator, provide for
Victory Mixed Flours" as follows:
Mixed wheat and barley flour, con-
tanning four pounds Of wheat flour to
one Of barley flour.
Mixed wheat and corn flour, con-
tanning four pounds of wheat flour to
one Of corn flour.
Mixed wheat and rye flour, contain
ing three pounds Of wheat flour to two
pounds Of rye flour.
Mixed wheat, entire wheat, or gra-
ham flour, containing at least IS per
cent Of the wheat berry.
Such f1ours may be sold without sub
stitutes but at no greater prices from
miller, wholesaler, or retailer than
standard wheat flour. They must be
mixed and milled in accordance with
the standards Of the food administra-
ton.
The new rules do away with the
::fifty-fifty rule. The retailer selling
standard wheat flour is required to
sell only one pound Of substitutes with
every four pounds Of standard wheat
flour. The substitutes are: Barley
flour, corn meal or corn flour, kaffir
flour, milo flour, feterita flour or meal,
rice flour, oat -four, peanut flour, bean
flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour,
buckwheat flour. Oatmeal, rolled OATS
and rice are not substitutes. Pure rye
flour or meal must be sold as substi-
tute in the proportion Of two pounds
to every three pounds Of wheat flour.
This change Of rules does not mean
that Americans need no longer con-
serve wheat flour. The food admin
istration asks that great care be taken
in conserving, in giving share and:
share alike" to the allies.

MAX [ { L A WINNER
Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel and
Assist in Making the County
Fair the Best Ever.
g Reason Apparent Why the Dis
plays Should Not Excel Those
of All Former Years.

Every thing is now in readiness for
the Mile Laos county fair, which will
open in Princeton next Wednesday,
September II, and continue until Sat
urday evening. The first day will be
devoted, as is customary, to the entry
Of exhibits, and farmers and others
are requested to get their stock, vege-
tables and other displays listed upon
that day.
The management has put forth ev-
cry effort to provide accommoda
for the proper display Of all exhibits,
which are expected to be exceptionally
heavy this year, especially so far as
live stock, grain and potatoes are con-
Seerned.
. Since the 1917 fair was held farmers
Of. Mile Laos county have greatly i'm
proved their dairy and beef herds by
adding a>large number Of blooded ami
mails thereto, and grain and potatoes
are superior in quality to any raised
here in many a year. This has also
been a good season for garden truck
of every description. Hence there
should be q large display in these de-
partments. ]. s. .05.
There is no apparent reason why
the fair Of 1918 should not be the ban
ner rural agricultural exposition Of
the state. Farmers have the products
and all that remains is to place them
on display. An endeavor to outclass
other county fairs should be the aim
of every farmer in this territory.
Itwould be we'll to select exhibits
without delay and thus be prepared to
make entries on the first day Septem-
Der 81.
d The amusement features will be ex-
ceptiohally attractive consisting,
among other specialties, Of the Florida
Troubadours, Bartino's Aerial Dog
Wonders and the Togo Japs Aerial
.Gymnasts. These groups will each
give two free exhibitions daily on Sep
sstember IL, 10 and -.
The management is negotiating
with the officers Of the aviation school
at Midway for battleplane demon
stration on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, and Secretary Stanley feels
confident that arrangements for the
exhibition will be perfected.
Now, prepare to. carry off some Of
the premiums, which will total 5000.

Why does the army need over two
million men? Because the allied pro
gram to speed up the final overthrow
Of the German armies, calls for an
early mastering Of Americas final
contribution. The War Department
has stated that Americas army must
not fall below five million men. OF
this amount nearly three million men
are now under arms. This leaves
more than two million men to be made
ready Including replacements), and
the time has now come to obtain
them.
October Training. 49,.
Why must these two million and a
quarter Class l men begin to be avail
able by October 1? Because October
1, at the present rate of dispatching
troops to Europe, our environments
will be depleted, and by the process
of refilling their places, the Glass l
men obtained by the 1918 classifica-
ton will have been entirely used up.
1t will, therefore, be necessary to
call more Class men to camp. In
order to obtain more Clas men, we
must proceed to this new registration.
As soon as the whole number has
been registered, the classification will
begin and quota will be called each
month, beginning in October, to fill
the places in the camps of those who
are departing to join the boys over
there.
Therefore, the registration had to
take place not later than the middle
Of September, in order that the first
installment Of the new Glass l men
may be ready by October.
