SOUNDED BY
FRANKLIN K. LANE

Franklin X. Lane, Secre-
tary of the Interior, sends
from Washington this bugle
call to citizens Of the Third
Federal Reserve District:
1t is now up to us to give
our boys what they need to
blast a worlds highway to
Berlin. We don't quit when
we start and WE WON'T
TALK so LONG AS WE
KNOW THAT THE ONLY
VOICE THE KAISER RE-

We have a Chateau Thier-

drove the Germans across the
Marne and no one man can
put up all the S6,00O,OOO,OOO,
but each man here will do his
best. Thus comes victory.

s'cheduied to stop for an hour at

civilians and soldiers in the in
terest of the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The soldiers of the Training De-
tachment marched to and from the

ing so that at no time was there

morrow and introduced the speak
ers, an American who had seen
service with the Canadian Army

of PersIhing's boys both of whom
have seen service in the trenches.

stories of trench life and touched

With the view to making extern
sive reforms in the State, the State

The tomato season is nearly
over. The P. J. Ritter Company
have been receiving only 500 to
600 baskets daily for the past week
and the quality has become so poor
that they decided to receive no
more after yesterday. Few farm
ers cam spare the time now for
picking what few tomatoes ripen,
for the fall plowing occupies all
of their time just now.
Green tomatoes for pickling and
preserving are in great demand
and meet a ready sale at soc to

ask farmers to bring them tomato
vines containing as many green to-
matoes as possible. These are
hung in a cool, dry dark place
where the ripening goes on slowly
so that at Thanksgiving time ripe
tomatoes of fairly good flavor are
ON hand for salads, or for other
uses. When ripening is retarded,
the admittance of some light will
hasten the process.
Owing to the poor condition of
silo corn due to drought it was
necessary in some places to make
up the shortage from the regular
crops. Earlier in the fall it was
feared that the crop would be
short but close observation during
corn cutting time shows a better
yield than was at first predicted.
Apples are plentiful in the local
market and are selling for S1.25 to

Doctors Win
Influenza Fight
Number of New Cases De-
creasing Daily
Local Pharmacy Keeps
Pace with Demand
For Drugs

The influenza epidemic has
reached the apex and is now on the
decline. Such is the, belief of those
in close touch with the situation i'm
Newark and vicinity. The doctors,
druggists and volunteer nurses
have put up brave untiring fight
and feel that now victory is theirs,
for each doctor reports few new
cases and the other patients with
very few exceptions recovering
satisfactorily. DR.. George w.
Rhodes stated last night that
business yesterday was more near
ly normal than it has been for
three weeks and that purchases of
quinine, asperin and other essen
tial drugs and patent medicines
used i'm fighting the epidemic, be-
came fewer and fewer each day.
Lieutenant Aronowitz and DR..
Samuel c. Mitchell both stated
that the "fu" had been practically
banlshed from the Training Camp,
only two or three patients remain
ing in the Infrmary and none i'm
Harter Hall. No new cases have
developed among the soldiers for
over a week. Concerning the
townspeople VIII ON Lieutenant
Aronowitz has been attending in
an effort to relieve the over-burd-
ened Newark physicians, he stated
that only 3 or 4 cases had develop
ed in the last week and those were
among families who lived under
crowded conditions and had al
ready several cases previously de-
veloped.
The two cases remaining at
Harter Hall We're removed yester-
day, Mr.. Sperry to his home at
Cooch's bridge, and Samuel Ellis
to Wilmington. The patriotic
townswomen who acted as volun-
teer nurses there for the last two
weeks are now giving assistance
in the homes of those afflicted. DR..
Walter Steel who has resumed his
practice after a serious illness, re-
ports only 3 new cases this week.
DR.. Charles H. Blake and DR.. H. G..
M. kollock give encouraging re-
ports Only or 4 new cases have
been reported for the last few days
by each physician, against 20 to
81 cases in corresponding period
last week.
Doctor Herbert Watson is con-
vinced that the situation is much
better and considers the death rate
exceedingly low in comparison
with the number of cases in the
town. Little or no difficulty has
been experienced by, physicians or
others i'm obtaining essential
drugs, although the orders per
person were several times limited
for few hours SO that each GUS
toner might be served. In order
to replenish his drug supply, DR..
Rhodes made daily trips to Will
for the past ten days.
Local undertakers have not been
handicapped seriously in the mat
ter of securing caskets nor have
the unfortunate families exper-
fenced much difficulty in securing
the services of an undertaken. Mr..
E. c. Wilson and R. T. Jones with
the help of Sergeant Barcus have
handled the unusual situation with
great efficiency.
Surgeon-general Blue warns
communities that have apparently
passed the crisis, against over
confidence and relaxation in the
matter of health precautions. This
warming cannot be urged. too
