FOR BOOZE ARRESTS

BALTIMORE, March 21.-From the
bench in the United States court yes
terday, Judge Rose expressed disap-
provaI of the practice OF members OF
the military police at Camp Meade
going about the city asking civilians
to get whiskey or beer for them and
then arresting those who complied.
1t was an entirely different matter,
the Judge added, when soldiers were
accosted by civilians with proffers to
procure liquor.
By direction of the Judge his views
in the matter were communicated to
Major General Kuhn, at Camp Meade,
by Assistant District Attorney kieft-
. ner.
1t was in connection with the case
of William Hayes. colored, that the
Judge made the announcement. Hayes
pleaded guilty to procuring liquor for
q soldier, but was fined only 81. Mr..
Kieffner told the court that Hayes
was accosted by soldiers and complied
with their request to get some liquor.
When he did so he was arrested by
the soldiers, who turned out to be
members OF the Camp Meade military
police.
There was no military policeman in
pleaded guilty OF furnishing a soldier
with a pint OF whiskey and a bottle
Of beer. He was fined 500.
Lyman Schmukler, seventeen years
old, will spend two years In the Ma
tional Training School for Boys, at
Washington. for being guilty, for the
second time, of furnishing a soldier
with liquor. Last December he was
paroled for the offense. Judge Rose
struck out the parole and gave him
= year in the training school in each
case.

work which you enjoy. And,
nothing so adds to the burden

Sec McAdoo on War Taxes

The Ways and Means Committee

tion. Secretary McAdoo favors
fiat war-profits tax Of 80 per cent.
In telegram to Chairman kltchln

SELECT SEED CORN
. THIS FALL
Home Grown Seed Best for
Planting

Shortage Of good seed corn in
many parts Of the Nortern states
last spring emphasizes the import
ance of being prepared next year.
Preparation should begin now, for
the only proper way to select seed
corn is from the standing stalks
as soon as the corn natures ana
before the first hard freeze, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Select
plenty of seed-enough for your
own needs, for replanting if neces-
sary and to supply your less thrifty
neighbors who may wait until
spring to take their chances of
getting good seed from the, crob.
Well-chosen, homegrown seed Of
varieties of proved worth in the
community, properly dried immedi-
ately after it has been gathered
and carefully preserved until
planting time, produces the best
yields.
AS soon as the crop ripens, says
the department, go through the
field with seed-picking bags, anC
husk the ears from the stalks tina
have produced the best corn with
out having had special advantages
such as space, moisture, or fertil
ity. Avoid the large ears on stalk
standing singly with an unusua
amount Of space around them. Pre-
ference should be given the plant
that have produced most heavily il
competition with full stand O
less productive plants. Late-matu1
ing plants with ears which ar
heavy because Of an eXcessiv
amount of sap should be ignore(
Sappiness greatly increases tn
weight and is likely to destroy tn
quality.
Newark post., 1918-08-21

down and permit thicker planting.
Thick stalks are not SO easily
broken down, and in general, are
more productive than slender ones.
The tendency for corn to produce
suckers is hereditary. Other things
being equal, seed should be taken
from stalks that have no suckers.
Immediately after the seed corn
is gathered, the husked ears should
be put in a dry place where there
is free circulation of air and plac-
ed in such a manner that the ears
do not touch each other. This is
the only safe procedure. Good seed
is repeatedly ruined because it is
thought to be already dry enough
when gathered. Many farmers be-
lieve that their autumns are so dry
that such care is unnecessary. Seed
| corn in every locality gathered at
ripening time will be benefited by
drying as suggested. If left in the
husk long after ripening it may
sprout or mildew during warm wet
weather or become infested with
weevils. The vitality of seed is
often reduced by leaving it in 6
sack or in pile for even day
after gathering. During warn
weather, with some moisture IN tht
cobs and kernels, the ears heat o,
mildew in a remarkable short time
The best possible treatment i'm
mediately after catering is t.
string the ears. Ordinarily tn
best place to hang strings of ear
9 is in an open shed or loft. Wir
racks are more convenient and :,
the end cheaper than binder twins
, Such racks may be made fr0r
electrically welded lawn fencing
=, The cutting Of the fencing int
= seed-corn racks is done withou
any waste.

LETTERS FROM FRANCE
Former Bank Clerk Writes
Home

Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Scott OF
Barksdale, have received two let
ters this week from their son
Clarence Scott, previously connect
ed with the Newark Trust and Sale
Deposit Company. The first letter,
dated July 31st reads:
My dear Mother:
1t has been quite few days
since | last wrote you and no
doubt you have been looking
many times for a letter from me.
The reason | haven't is that we
have been moving into another
town quite a few miles distant
from the town just vacated. On
our trip we saw some beautiful
country, similar to that of Am
erica but little more rolling.
It took us several hours to make
the trip in a truck train. After
arriving here | found that sew
eral of the Company E boys from
Elkton had just left the town.
In all our travels and as many
soldiers as | have seen, as yet |
have not met with any from Cecil
County.
In regard to the progress of
the war all | can say is that the
Americans are still advancing,
The other day one town changed
hands nine times, the Americans
holding the last time. The Ger
mans are putting their finest
gunners against the Americans.
| believe the Germans are on the
run and will continue to be. 1t
might be a few months before
the war is over but no doubt the
Allies are on the road to victory.
| have bought myself trench
hat which | think is very becom-
ing to the American soldier
They cost seven francs, which in
our money is S1.4O. The French
money is very easy to count.
had some experience along this
line and it made me feel that
would like to be back in the banl
handling money once again. :
I am we'll cared for, have goot
health and the best of spirits
Do not worry about me.
Your loving son,
Clarence.

The New Castle County Farm
Bureau and the State Milk Pro-
ducers' Association will hold an
all-day picnic at Augustine Beach
next Thursday, August %. For
some years past the Milk Produc-
ers' Association have been holding

been kind enough to cooperate
with the County Farm Bureau in
having one large all-day meeting
By cooperating, an excellent pro-
gram has been arranged. Mr.. Paul
Bennetch of the New Jersey State
Bureau of Markets will be on the
program. Mr.. Bennetch is closely
associated with the milk situation
over the East and has been instru-
mental in adjusting several dairy
difficulties. 1t will be privilege to
hear Mr.. Bennetch. Mr.. E. V. Will
cox of the U. S. Department of

An urgent plea is sent by the

The need for surgical dressings
is especially urgent at the present
time and the workers are fewer
owing to the heat of the past few
weeks. Now that the weather IS
cooler and vacationists are return
ing a greater number should lend
their aid in this patriotic work.

The Sugar Ration
in Simple Terms

Two pounds of sugar per month
means about 8 ounces per week, or
a little more than l ounce a day.
This daily ration is a trifie more
than 2 tablespoons level full. 1t
should be remembered that this is
to include all sugar used for any
purpose whatsoever-for table use,
cooking, in ice cream and desserts,
on cereals or fruit in sugar syrups
used on griddle cakes and in any

France, August 3.

My dear Father:
The previous letters which |
have written to mother are for
all Of YOU. News is a very scarce
article with us and it is a very
difficult matter to write over one
letter at a time. The army regu-
lations are very strict which
helps to make letter writing
difficult task.
You folks really hear more
war news than we do. Of course
ours may come a little quicker.
The Americans STILL have the
Germans on the run. Today's
paper stated there had been 49,
400 captured since July Is. The
best thing we can do is to keep
them that way.
France isn't the place I expect
ed to see. Four years Of war will
put any country on the blink.
AS you already know everything
is very high in price. We have
seen quite a portion of France
although we have been here a
short time. We have changed
TOWNS three times. Army life
here is different from that at
Camp Meade. We live in the
homes of those who have los
their lives or are still fighting a
the front.
I am we'll and in the best o:
spirits.
Love to all. AS ever,
Your loving son,
Tim.
