Opening Of Market
May Be Delayed

Unless arrangements can be made
to get buyers on the market this
month, it is rumored now that the
opening Of the hurley tobacco mar
ket here may have to be postponed
until the first of the year. Gentle
men interested in the early opening
Of the market here have had the mat
ter up with large tobacco consumers
throughout the country and they
write that they are unable to fur
nish a sufficient number of buyers
on account of the war, The bright
tobacco market win open on Mon
day, next, and there will be buyers
here to take care Of this crop. But
il it should be necessary to postpone
the opening of the hurley marked
until the first of the year, it will work
hardship upon growers throughout
this section, as the majority of them
are needing the money on their crops.

Schools To Open
Monday Morning

We have been requested by the
city school boards to announce that
the public schools of the city will re-
open on Monday morning. It is
earnestly requested, however, that
children from families afflicted with
influenza or grippe be kept at home
until all members Of the home have
fully recovered. If our citizens are
careful to adhere to this request
strictly, there is little danger of a
general spread Of influenza. Chill
dren sent to school from families
known to have anyope afflicted, will
be returned to their homes until such
a time as members of the board feel
it to be safe to allow them to return.
The Princess Theatre will also re-
open Monday night, as well as all
other places that have been closed
by order Of the city officials.

Want DOWN-STATE

Women S Council of Defense

FIND PARENTS PUT
OBSTACLES IN WAY

Women workers Tor the state Defense
Council, who are striving to enroll i05
recruits for nursing in this state be-
fore August II. are going 10 make snU-
oial appeal TO down state citizens.
While the reports from Wilmington In
the past six days indicate that about
half OF the quota asked has been en-
rolled, the down state counties have
not been showing as many volunteers
as had been expected.
The patriotic sp,.it and zeal is not
lacking, the worker have found with
the young women, hLt with their pa
rents. In some ins.d aces young women
have wanted TO snusi, because there
were no men folks wno have gone 10
osntcnments, and t2cy wanted TO rep
resent the family thrOug!. nursing serv-
ice But the parsaial consent was
withheld. Others v&s have wanted io
go are self-suppocLlns and were, not
able TO give up lneif work.
70 the woman whc s sclf-suppori-
ing, the sacrifice OF Joining the nursing
r"s.1Iiting force is 40 small one. While
the government pays all tuition. Dosrd
end for books, the recruit needs a lit
tie pin money say tlH month for
civilian dress and 10 defray the ex-
pense Of travelling expenses 10 AMI from

cation. One patrl7.!c young woman
has solved this Dr )a,cm through
woman fricno. This fflesf ss.ted to
deIray all such sm1a expenses 4 The
young woman would enlist. The young
er woman agreed and signed UP yes
terday. The elder woman was glad to
do this, because she was too old to en-
ter the nursing school. and yet she
wanted to do her part In this war.
The workers are not desirous or re-
cruitlng any young woman who in ad-
ditlon to having 10 support herself may
have some dear relation to care for.
But they are anxious that Delaware
should meet the quota Of 100 Volun-
teers asked for by the army. A good
education. good health are the chief re-
qulrements provided the volunteer is
between i9 and 50 years.

t h a n 200 different
kinds, it may be seen
that all the varied
needs of all the people
desiring good furni-
ture at real reductions
are being met.
But, just sticking to
the one subject of din
ing-rooms, let us say
that we have the finest
selection of dining
room furniture ever as
sembled even on these
floors - and anyone
who has ever furnished
a dining-room from
here knows what that
means.
Those who haven't
done so, now have their
opportunity to learn.
At low cost, too.
Prices are reduced
from 10 to so per cent
below regular. By regu-
lar we mean not the
prevailing m a r k e t
prices of today, which
everybody knows have
advanced tremendously
within the past six
months, but the prices
prevailing six months
ago Olien We ordered
the goods.
So you get your fur
niture with practically
two slices taken off the
cost!
A FUMED oak buff
n fet, for instance, is
S32, and is handsome
and substantial enough
for any dining-room in
the land. Built on
plain, digniied lines, it
has three good cup
boards and one fine,
long, deep drawer. A
similar buffet, with
mirror, is S43.
Other p i e c e S to
match, at correspond
ingly low prices, are
serving table, SIG;
china closet, $33; ex-
tension table, $50; and
chairs, $5.25 and $3.50.
At the other end of
the price scale the
savings are just as
manifest.
