During the last few years several
hundred purebred Jersey and Hol-
stein cattle Of excellent quality have
been shipped into Louisiana. These
cattle were brought with the idea
of breeding the best herds cattle pos
ible in Louisiana, and to sell breed
ing cattle to the Dairy farmers of
the state Those herds have become
quite numerous and now there are
enough purebred bulls among them
to furnish many of the dairymen
who are still using grade bulls. These
animals are as good as can be bought
in any of the nothern states. They
can be bought for less money and at
great saving in express charges.

It's jolly good news though to learn
that you did not consider it neces-
sary to keep the promises made to
get the Russians to lay down their
arms and that you are stretching
your purse with Russians indemni-
ties. But, Wilhelm, as you and l use
out of the same pocketbook, l must
suggest that you are going about
rest Of these money matters in the
wrong way if you expect to stretch
the American end of our pocketbook
from New York to San Francisco.
Frankly, some of your mouthpieces
talk too much. In fact, Won Beth
man-Hollweg talked too soon. Way
back yonder about year ago, he
let tho United States know too much
when he told the Reichstag:
''After Germany has won, the Uni
ted States will find herself confront
ed with an indemnity claim which
will about equal the entire amount
expended by Germany in the whole
war. For every loan to the Allies
for every bullet, every shell, every
conceivable item of war material
shipped by America to the Allies
there will be an accounting in gold.''
Bully plan, Wilhelm, to soak them
for about hundred billion dollars,
but it's such pity you let the de-
tails out. You see the United States
is asking its people to buy government
bonds, and this will make them an
xious to lend to their government now
rather than give it all to the Kaiser
later. Yours for annexations and in

EXEMPTION BOARD RULES

Registrants Leaving Work in Deferred
Classification May be Placed in Glass
The District Exemption Board for
the state of Delaware, in a recent in
vestigation, discovered that a number
of registrants who had been granted
deferred classification on industrial or
agricultural lines were making a
practice of leaving their positions
without notifying the district board
of their action. The district board is
notified. either by the employer or
discoverers by investigation, that the
registrant has left his place. of en-
ployment and heretofore has i'm
mediately corresponded with the reg
istrant, giving him chance to submit
affidavits in support of claim for de-
ferred classification on his new occu-
patton. A number of registrants have
endeavored to take advantage of the
district board in cases of this charac-
ter, and in the future should any
registrant leave the occupation for
which he was given deferred classifica-
tion and fail to notify the district
board of his change, the district board
will place him in class one, and will
be disposed to leave him there.

signed to take charge of new busi
ness college, which has a branch in

Houston and for several years after
graduating from Dickinson College,
he was the principal of the Harring
ton Public Schools. He left there
two years ago to take similar posi-
tinn at Preston, Md. His appointment
to the superintendency was a surprise.
as the Governor called him without
any warning to a consultation, and
rendered him the position. The Gov
ernor had made Investigations Of Mr..
Jumps ability and record as school
man, and believed that he was the
man to fill the bill. He made nc
mistake in this selection, as Mr.. Jump
is we'll equipped for the duties of the
position. At the same time he ap.
pointed John Shilling, another Kent
County man, to fill the position Of
superintendent of the Kent County
Schools, to fill a vacancy made by tn,
passing of Superintendent Shilling
into the U. s. Army. These men arr
brothers, and each are graduates o

HAIL euRIEs CROPS IN SUSSEX
Falls With DeIuge of Rain on Three
Sides of Laurel for an Hour.

Hail and a flood-making downpour
did great damage in and about Laurel
Friday evening. In some places hail
fell for an hour, and crops were al
most destroyed The serious fall OF
hail did not come within four miles
of Laurel, but it struck territory to
the north, east and south. Sometime
after the storm abated Charles z.
Wootten, who raises truck on an ex-
tensive scale, called up one OF his
tenant farmers in East Little Creek,
near Kings Church, Eve miles south
of Laurel, and asked if there had been
much of a storm down that way. "A
STORM" yelled the tenant. " A
storm Why, man, you haven't any
thing left but the bare ground and the
buildings. The ground where our
corn. watermelons, cantaloupes, to-
matoes and cucumbers were is covered
with hailstones several inches deep. .
In the neighborhood of Asbury Church,
on the road between Laurel anC
Georged, the storm probably reached
its greatest fury. All growing stuff
within a strip of two miles wide anC
extending for more than eight mile
were cut to pieces. AS one prOminen
grower said, "Its' a calamity. Th'

AUGUST MAY FIND NEARLY
ALL SUPPLY OF SUGAR GONE
SITUATION is SERIOUS AS NEW
REGULATIONS GO INTO EFFECT

Preserving Will be impossible After
That Date Unless Homes Conserve
to Utmost, Warns Mr.. Heinz.
"Unless the people will bring them
selves down to the wartime ration of
sugar in July, there'll be no sugar for
them in August. The sugar situation
is now squarely up to the householder;
and, unless every householder con-
serves sugar rigidly, and adheres
strictly to the rule of not more than
three pounds person each month, there
will absolutely not be enough sugsr
to meet the demands for canning and
preserving when the height of the
season is reached. This is the warn
ing issued last week by Howard Heinz,
Food Administrators for Pennsylvania.
1.-THE manor the woman-who
boards sugar at this time, or who re-
fuses to conserve it, is not only a
Stacker but all open and devoted aid
to the Hun. There are those who,
despite warnings and suggestions are
still using sugar in normal quantities,
just as prior to the war.
Householders who do not think
their small savings will count ought
to remember this: Manufacturers US
ing sugar, but who had their supplies
cut away down, use only total of %
per cent. of the sugar consumed, and
the remaining 78 per cent. is used by
household consumers.
Further hotels and restaurants
are limited in the services to approx.
imately one-half ounce per meal pei
person, and if they exceed this ratior
they will soon be without sugar.
"There are substitutes for breaC
and for beef, and for other necessities
but there are not any satisfactor!
substitutes for sugar. Every avail
able ship belonging to the Unite'
States and to the Allied Governmen
has been utilized for some months il

and in keeping them supplied wit
food and ammunition. Ships tina

ST. LOUIS, June 12.-Grihth's plan
of spotting the Browns a game went
through as per schedule yesterday
when the Nationals were downed. to
2. thereby slipping back into sixth
place. With Harper working today
and johnson due to start tomorrow,
Griffith is confident he will have q
firm hold on the top Of the second
division when he moves on to Chicago
Friday, however. Compelled to send
back Shaw, who worked seven innings
the day before. Washington's pros
poets for beating Davenport. who
had not worked since last Thursday,
were not particularly bright. At that
the Browns had to have some luck to
win, for had 1t not been for a pair Of
puny Texas leaguers they would have
registered only one tally Of James
port hard in the third and fourth,
when they compiled their two runs,
but could do little with him there
after.
Shotton bounced the ball so high in
front of the plate in the opening round
down back of the pitchers box. He
reached third while Judge and Foster
were beng retired, but Gedeon tossed
out Milan. For the Browns, Maisel
walked with one down and stole sec
ond. Sisler also drew a pass. but
Shaw caught Maisel off second. and
Foster got under Demmitts little fly.
Shaw in the second walked Smith,
who reached the keystone sack when
Lavan dropped Gedeons fly in left
field; but Judge ran in and got Ger
bers bunt, tossing to Foster in time
to force Smith at third. Hale hit
into a double play. Shaw to Foster to
Judge.
Morgan was caught stealing after
getting a life on Gerber's error in
the second, but Ainsmith opened the
third with a long blow to the bleach
ers in right center for three bases
and scored after Shaw had been killed
when Shotton again beat out a high
bounder to Gedeon.
