IN ACCORD WITH the editorial OF
last week which we printed in the
Chronicle, as to the proper method OF
getting first steps taken by all Repub-
licans to bring the party into harmon
ious action for the present campaign.
nine of the members of the New Cas-
tie membership in the State Central
Committee have signed a request that
the State Chairman shall call the
Committee together within the next
ten days, to consider plans and ar
range to have them carried into effect.
along the lines which the Chairman of
the National Republican Committee
has already outlined. In another part
Of this paper the letter to A. R. Ben
son, the State Chairman Of the Repub-
lican Party in Delaware, which re-
quests that the meeting be held. is
printed. 1t is fair and square prop
osition which will bring about certain
victory for the Republican Party in
Delaware, if its purpose is carried out
in the same spirit in which the prom
osition is made. We certainly agree
with the editorial in the Evening
Journal of last Wednesday, which
says:
1T will be folly in these days for
anyone to resort to political, partisan
or factiOnal camoufage in the hone
OF deceiving the Republican votes.
They want real harmony that aims
at Republican fundamentals: and not
false harmony that merely has for its
object the serving or personal or fac
tiOnal interests which are rainteareith
unworthiness.
1T will be eminently right and prop
er for General A. R. Benson, Chairman
of the Republican State Committee
to give full and careful consideration
to the petition that has been present
ed to him for harmony conference
He should insist, however, that such
a conference shall be composed Of
representative Republicans who have
no axes to grind and no unworthy ends
to serve. In short, he should call to
his aid at this time the very best
counsel that our State can supply:
men who will be animated not by the
thought What will be best for me
and my interests? but What will be
best for the interests Of my party and
the people Of the United States of
American"
Personal ambitions must be shelved
for the good Of the party at large
and every man be given a fair and
square show regardless Of section. lust
so that he is a Republican. acting
honestly for the welfare Of the party
and the interests Of the State.

1T WILL BE NECESSARY for all
farmers to keep watch upon the men
who have been placed in deferred
classes of the draft, because of their
ability as farmers, and necessary help
on farms. Every man so exempted
must work steadily upon a farm, and
will not be permitted to engage in
any other occupation, even if such oc-
cupation will bring him more money
for his labors. Failure to work at
farming means calling in to the ranks
OF the army, and close watch will
be kept by all persons who claim to
be loyal, or patriotic to our govern
ment, and any who fail must be re-
ported to the draft boards. where they
will be promptly attended to. This
applies to the man who has no fixed /
occupation, but whe has been placed
in deferred class because of depend
ent relatives. 1t means that such men
shall work steadily at some kind of
occupation, which will be helpful for
the country.

There will be special services al
Reynolds N. P. Church on Sunday.
March 18th, when the fence, which is
at last completed, will be dedicated
by the committee who has been in
charge of the work. At this time 1t
will be explained just how much the
fence cost, which will be gratifying to
those who so literally helped the
cause. There is now no debt against
the fence, and it is hoped large con
gregation will be in attendance on this
day. There will be preaching by the
pastor, Rev Adams, at 1880 O'Clock.

GRADUALLY THE U. S. Govern
ment is regulating the draft of men
for the United States Army so that
each individual shall do his bit, and
not escape thru the technical ruling
OF any department 50 far the regu-
lations have been along the line Of
square deal for every man, and pro-
hibiting the playing of favorites The
man who has a claim and presents
it with straight forward statements,
will get consideration from the var
ious boards having the grading and
placing of the men in the several
classes; but the Stacker who attempts
to hide behind petticoats. will get no
consideration Under the new regu-
lations, which are printed in another
part of this paper. even temporary |
disqualifcations will not help to get
exemption, for the government has
provided that treatment to remove the
trouble shall be made, and the man
be retained in the first grade for SER
vice.

IN THE OPINION Of the greater
majority of the people who are famil-
lar with the agricultural conditions,
the action Of the United States author
tiles fxi- the maximum price for
tomatoes, and otherwise regulating
the sale of tomatoes, is another case
Of oungling on the part of those in
authority. The Washington officials
have been misled thru the over-zealous
action OF interested parties. and have
certainly not given proper considera-
tion of the question from the growers
point OF view. Unless the ruling is
greatly modified, or recinded in toto,
the results must be disastrous to the
canning as well as the growing ends
of the tomato industry. The canning
of tomatoes is only one part OF the
business. The catsup and other forms
in which the tomato is used, brings /
points Of consideration when |
maximum prices have been fixed. II
is not Delaware alone to be consider
ed, but the great sections of Maryland
and New Jersey with New York and
1ther States where the tomato is
grown as part of a commercial crop,
md in many places growers had al
eady contracted with reliable parties
o grow and receive for the crop fifty
ents per basket for the present sea-
on.
In the matter of growing tomatoes
or the early crop, this arbitrary ac- !
ION of the government will paralyze
nat important business.
1t is as certain as that day follows $
le night, the farmers will fail to pro- n
uce the crops for which they are 3
ppealed to plant in 1918 unless they q
IN see some reasonable certainty of e,
citing a profit from them. u
Labor will be difficult to secure and
e cost per diem will be higher than $,

lates and movements of freights is n. NJ

ing The Inflammation, which begins
In the nasal passages, soon extends to
the eyes and to the spaces which exist
Immediately below the eyeballs. Tho
eyelids are swollen, held closed much
of the time, and may be glued togeth-
er by the accumulated secretion. The
birds sneeze and shake their heads In
their efforts to free the air passages
from the thick mucus. The appetite
is diminished, and the birds sit with
their heads drawn In and their wings
dropping, having general appearance
Of depression and sickness.
When the Inflammation reaches the
spaces or sacs beneath the eyes it
causes the formation of a secretion
very similar to that Of the nose, and
as this becomes thick it collects, dis
tends the walls Of these spaces, and
produces a warm and painful swelling.
which is seen Just below the eyes and
may reach the size of a hickory nut.
This swelling presses with much force
on the eyeball, which Is displaced and
more or less deformed, and in extreme
cases even the bones Of the head may
give way before it.
The closure Of the eyes prevents the
badly affected birds from finding food;
the accumulation of mucus in the nos
trils completely obstructs these pas
sages, SO that the beak must be kept
open In order to breathe; the Obstruc-
tion of the windpipe and the smaller
air tubes causes loud breathing sounds
and difficult respiration.
In the severe and advanced cases
the birds sit In a somnolent or semi
conscious condition, unable to see or
to eat: their strength Is rapidly ex-
hausted, and many of them die within
a week or ten days. A part Of the
affected individuals recover, but others
continue weak and have chronic
form Of the disease for months. dur
ing which time they continue to dis
seminate the contagion.
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1918-11-29
PREVENTION IS BEST

The treatment Of sick birds
requires much time and patience
and there Is always the risk
that they may carry the con-
tagion for several months after
they are apparently well. Pre-
ventiOn Of colds and roup Is,
therefore, much more satisfac-
tory and profitable than treat
ment, say specialists of the Unit
ed States department of agricul-
ture. The poultry house should
be kept free from drafts, and
measures should be continually
enforced which will exclude con-
tagion Of all kinds.
