.PROMPTNEss IS DESIRED
 IN WORK FOR RED CROSS

The committee of military relief of the Cordova chapter of the Red Cross, asks that every woman who has taken out yarn to be knit into garments and who has had the yarn at home be- yond a reasonable length of time, es- pecially the khaki yarn that was given out in January, either return the yarn or the knitted garments. In many cases there are legitimate reasons why the knitted garments cannot be re- turned promptly. Many have had ill- ness and business has interfered. The committee believes that twenty y-one days is an entirely reasonable time to knit pair of socks and thirty days for a sweater. It is believed that fail ure to return finished garments has been on account of a lack of under standing and it is the wish that every effort be made to return garments as quickly as possible. If the yarn is held out for any length of time, relief is then being kept from the men at the front.

SECRET ENEMIES AT HOME

The task of this country, in the present war, would be greatly simpli. fled and greatly reduced in it's magni- Jude were all our country's enemies in inc German and Austrian armies. The fact that there are hundreds of thou sands, even millions, of enemies seat tered all over our land, either conspir- ing to poison our soldiers or to poison public opinion that supports them; cOnspiring to dynamite industries mak- ing munitions and supplies for our army or to demoralize public opinion and destroy the morale of the people upon whom the men in our army and navy must rely for support-these facts and these activities mean not only a prolongation of the war and a larger loss of life, but mean tears otherwise unshed and sorrow other wise unknown.
 The forces of evil, of disorganiza- ton, of disloyalty and of enmity to America and it's institutions are mani festing themselves in many ways Many good people unconsciously fall victim to those sinister forces when resulting from war conditions; when they agitate, rail, and criticize because their business is suspended for few days or their profits are lessened by a few dollars; when they allow the spirit of selfishness and of greed to temporarily outweigh and overbalance the spirit of sacrifice and of service
 Greed and gain are not weapons with which we can win this war. They are the motives that inspired it, as manifested and illustrated when Ger many undertakes to talk separate peace to Russia, wanting to absorb large portion of that country and to dominate the rest We can win the war only with sacrifices. sacrifices yet pndreamed of; with service, service greater than we have anticipated. Above all, let us keep watch and guard in order that the enemy may not, by insidious propaganda, by falsehoods, innuendOS and agitatiOnS demOralize the people at home upon whose sol dierly and patriotic cooperation the men in our army and navy are depend ing.-By John J. Cornwell, Governor Of West Virginia.

INTERESTS OF SCHOOLS
 AT STAKE TOM0BlOW
Editor Daily Times:

Editor Daily Times:
 The people of Cordova, in lie in- terest engendered over the clntest for councilmen, are likely to ovsrlOok the equally important election of clerk of the school board. Upon the children of today depend the afety of our country, the perpetuation of it's ideals. and the growth and spread of those ideals until the right our fore fathers fought and died for, the right that our own young men are fighting for in France today, the right 10 an equal opportunity for all, for each one of us to work out our own destiny in our own way, is secured without ques- tion for our children and our chill drens children.
 That these ideals may be properly instilled in the boys and girls of Cor dova is in the hands of the school board, and therefore each one ei us, before voting tomorrow, should ear nestly consider this question, without prejudice or rancor, and vote aecord- ingly.
 There are two candidates for the board, both of them good, but dnfor- tunately we are forced to choose be- tween them, and the defeated dandi- date must not take his defeat without feeling that this choice had tb be made without criticism of himself
 It is the belief of many of our peo- pie that the school board should have a young man on it-a man fresh from an institution of learning where he has learned the newest and best meth ods of pedagogy. Those who feel this way will vote for Calvin c. Hazelet and will therefore vote wisely. He is l an Alaskan, who has lived in the ter ritory many more years than most of us He is imbued with the ideals and | the viewpoint of Alaska. He has the point of view of the young. He isinot | too far removed from his own school days, and can therefore interpretahe point of view of the pupils much bet ter than a man or woman who has been educated under methods far diff ferent from those in vogue today.
 These statements are not madei in derogation of Mr Phillips, but in the belief that the younger man can today bring more vital things, more new life into the school board than the aaer man. The election of MT. Hazelet Wifll bring hope to those who believe in | methods of teaching and | rebound credit on our town. It is to | be hoped, therefore, that you, MT. and Mrs. Voter, will cast your ballot for Calvin c. Hazelet tomorrow.

 A GERMAN RAIDER
Captain William Price of Gouces-
 ter Fishing Schooner.

Gloucester, Mass, July 24.-Captain William Price of the fishing schooner Elizabeth King which arrived here to- night, reported an encounter last Sun day with what he believes was a Ger man raider about twenty miles soutl. southeast of Nantucket south shoal lightship. A description of the vessel was sent the First Naval district head quarters in Boston.
 Captain Price said the steamer ap- preached within 100 feet of the Eliza beth King. keeping forward and aft guns trained on the schooner. T eX- pected he would hail us" said Captain Price, "but he did rot. so l asked him through a rnegaphene if he had seen any fishing vessels in that vicinity i An officer shouted back something ir a foreign language that none of us understood"
 The steamer was about 250e tons and looked as if it had been at sea { long time. Two unusually high wire less masts rose from the decks. I bore no name or home port and flew no flag. It had been camouhaged ap | rarentlg but the paint was nearl! l washed off and the sides were GOV cred with iron rust. There was ] yer! l large crew aboard, Captain Pric' 1 thought.
 The incident occurred between eigh and nine o'clock in the. morning. Thi
 was three hours before a German sub marine appeared off Orleans on tn
 Cape Cod shore and attacked tug
 boat and it's tow of harges. The DO sition given by Captain Price place the steamer in the lane of trans At iantic travel.

NEW LoNDoN's MILK
 SUPPLY cURTAlLED
Dealers Are Unable to Meet Increased Demands of People.

The milk supply in New Londcn is already causing some uneasiness. As was pointed out recently at the time 3 milk depot and rasteurization plant was discussed the farmers supplying milk to New Londoners were nos pre- pared to properly take care of the rapid increase in population and the extra demand for milk The milk dealers find it extremely diffiseult to obtain help and they have not in creased their herds because of the high cost of grain. Some of the milk dealers this week have cut down their regular customers to one-half their normal supply. and number of GUS toners have been dropped entirely. i There has been an increased de manded for milk since the hot wea-
 ther struck in. as more people are
 taking that form of nourishment in
 stead of eating meat Milk also en-
 tcrs largely into the cool drinks ant into ice cream and there has been ar
 abnormal consumption Of liquid re- freshmant and ice cream during the i rresent heat wave.
 It is thought that the shortage i!
 temporary, although it is doubtful i
 the milk dealers will be able to pro vide the city with all the milk tha T is desired
