The M'LAURY YARDS
LAUNCH fine LIGHTER
Boat Built for Quartermaster Depart
ment for New York HarbOr Use.
Launched Last Wednesday.

A very pretty launching took place
at the McLaury Shipyards in South
Milford Wednesday morning when a
lighter for New York harbOr work
was put in the water. The boat is
one of several that Captain McLaury
has built for the Quartermaster's De-
partment during the past few months.
She is 110 feet in length, has a beam
of 80 feet, and S1a feet depth of hold
The boat is built of lumber which
came principally from Sussex county
and she was indeed a fine specimen
of the shipbuilders' work.
Work has already been commenced
on another boat Of practically the
same dimensions. This assures work
for the men of that yard for some
time to come. At the Vinyard ship
yards work is being rushed on finish
ing one boat which is now in the wa
ter. while two others are under con-
struction. The Abbott yards also
have much work under course of con-
structiOn. All of these yards are en-
ploying large numbers of men. and
they could use more.

MORE HOGS RAISED IN MAINE

An increased pork-production cam
paign carried on by county agents and
farm bureaus in Maine has resulted
in Is per cent increase over last
year in the number of hogs raised
Previous to 1917 self-feeders for hogs
had been used on a small scale, but
had proved unquestionably successful.
The results showed that farmers with
self-feeders kept more hogs than they
could otherwise. This suggested to
the county agents that the self-feeder
be made the basis of a campaign for
more pork. Building bees" or dem
onstrations were held by agents, at
which self-feeders were constructed
with the help of the farmers attending
the meetings, and the instructions
given for their use, particular empha-
sis being placed upon their advantage
in connection with pasturing hogs. As
a result Of the campaign 745 addition
al self-feeders are now reported in
use and $500 more hogs are being
raised with them.

BAN REMOVED FROM
LINCOLN HIGHWAY WORK
Construction May Now be Resumed
On That Section of Highway from
MarshaIltOn to Newark

Chief Engineer Charles NJ. Upham
of the Delaware State Highway Com
mission, has been informed by the
secretary of the United States High
way Councils that Delaware has done
more construction, with higher per-
centage of applications for road work
approved. than any other state in the
union In the face of all this the ap-
proyal of the Lincoln Highway be-
tween MarshalltOn and Newark was
disapprOved on the ground that essen
tial military work demanded the ma
terials. While the application for the
improvement of this particular strip
of road was made by New Castle cOun
ty, itNwas recommended and approved
by the State Highway Commission.
Several other roads in close proximity
to this Lincoln Highway had been ap-
proved by the United States.
After taking up the matter with
the War Department and pointing out
the absolute need of this improvement
Chief Engineer Upham received a tel
egram from Washington stating that
the request had been granted for the
improvement of this very strip which
only a short time ago had been turned
down New Castle county may now
proceed with construction of the road
between MarshalltOn and Newark.

Cambria within twenty-four hours af-
ter the British had entered the place.
He states that the town is not half
as badly damaged as the newspapers
would lead a person to believe by the
accounts which come from the city

stories to tell of things which he saw
while overseas, but for the present he

reau Of Biological Survey, Depart
ment of Agriculture, reports that "a
states have passed laws conforming
to the provisions Of the Federal law
in relation to watering fowl, and that

state game commissioners, sportsmen
and others interested in game prOtec-
tion-another food conservation mea-

within two or three years every state
in the Union will have enacted uni
form laws for the protection of mi
gratory birds.
