Prospects Now Indicate Improve

Progress is being made on the Dover

in delays OF obtaining material
The Improvement of the Dovcr-Smvrna
road is divided into two contracts, No.
being from the outskirts of Dover to the
Chcswold road and No. contract from
the ChcSwold road to the limits of Smyrna.
On the upper ends of both projects
sand and crushed stone have been de-
posted and the contractors are preparing
10 start with the work of laying concrete.
The work of rough grading the section
Of the road from Dover To Cheswold
road has been completed and fences and
poles have been moved back to the right
of way
Fences and poles are also being moved
back on the section of the road between
Cheswold road 10 smyrna and a big steam
shovel is cutting away the knob of hill

There NAV be some bridges unbuilt
and some paving unfinished at the ap-
proach Of bridges, Mr.. Upham said, but
those gaps will bc filled in with stone SO
as to make smooth path for travel.
While it was desired To build the new
bridges along the pike this year. II IS
hardly likely that they will be constructed

PREDICT OYSTERS

Prices to be Kept Down, Though
Labor Deserts for Mum

From down near the Delaware Capes
there came a bit Of news today that is
decidedly refreshing; in fact, almost
captivating
Il will hc received hv a grateful public
with much Joy for after the experiences
Of the last year or two anything that
even borders on today's announcement
looms large in the minds Of those who
are keeping the home fires burning
This Is really an announcement that
should be handled by a poet for only
poets arc capable Of handling classics.
and the information received from the
canes sector Is worthy OF a place with
the classic events of 1918
That. dear readers. Is the announce
ment. and If II doesn't cause YOU 10
Jump with Joy and unfurl your anti
proftcers flag then you belong TO the
gang that IS Unconditional.
But. cutting away from the cheers

a word concerning the supply and prce
of those luscious hivalyeS.
According To George \ SchOch presi-
dent Of the Philadelphia Oysterr en- :
Association. they are 10 be plentiful and
quite cheap.
Schoch, who. like other ordinary
\
meats. vegetables. bread, pastry, canned
goods and other eatables at skv-high
prices, was in happy frame Of mind
today.
Down at Maurice River, said the
veteran oyster dealer the oysters give
great promise They are coming along
fast and on September 4 We will receive
the first shipment The price for prime
or selected oysters will be IN the neigh
borhood of S1O50 a thousand. or a littls
more than one cent each Seconds or
what We call cullins will bring prices
ranging from 81 70 $3.50 thousand
Those prizes are very reasonable. In
| fact the price Of oysters hasn IN
creased more than 10 per cent in many
wears And by the looks Of things We
ought 70 get a good supply"
WILL HOLD Down PRICES
Schoch discussed the war, the high
cost Of living outside the trenches and
rest blllets and then swung back to
oysters
We don't like to boost prices, nc
continued and wont unless We have
TO Many Of our men have gone of to
war and many have deserted oyster
boats for the gun factories. but we will
get along and hold down prices
War crosses and medals are only is
sued TO fighting men and. as Schoch is
too old for the trenches or Q torpedoboat
destroyer, he stands a slim chance to get
one But the American people may, if
they survive the high prices, establish
precedent and grant Mr. Schoch a
place with other gre at Amdricans who
