How the Delaware Farm Labor
Bureau Works

The following is typical illus
tration of the way in which the
Delaware Farm Bureau operates to
supply help to the farmers of the
state:
Mr.. S. H. Green of Wyoming,
Delaware, is right in the midst of
corn planting when one of his hir-
ed men is drafted. Immediately he
thinks of a card, which he has re-
ceived few days before from the
Delaware Farm Labor Bureau,
which was to be filled out by him
in case he needed help. After
searching around he finds the card
and fills t out, indicating the kind
of help which he wants, the time
when he wants it, and the wages
which he will pay if the man is
satisfactory. He mails this card in
an envelope, which requires no

BONDS AS CURRENCY.
Liberty Loan Committee Browns on
 Acceptance as Cash.

Boston, Jan. 2.-The practice of ac- cepting Liberty Bonds in exchange for merchandise, which is being fol- lowed by some merchants, tends to defeat the primary object of the sale of Liberty Bonds
 The Liberty Loan Committee of New England states that this practice discourages thrift, increases expendi- lures and deprives the government of labor and material needed for war purposes.
 It has also pointed out that bonds exchanged for merchandise must in most cases immediately be sold in the open market, which tends to depress the market price of the issue and makes it less easy to sell future issues at the same rate of interest.
 The Liberty Loan Committee of New England, therefore, requests merchants who are offering to accept Liberty Bonds in exchange for mer- chandise carefully to consider the practice and hopes that such offers will be withdrawn.
 The government is making a strong effort to have government bonds pur- chased for permanent investment by the people, who are urged to paWfor them out of past or future savings. Purchases thus made provide funds for the uses of the government and, not being expended for usable mer- chandise, also effect a conservation of labor and material.
 The secretary of the treasury writes to the committee: "I hope that the merchants of the country, upon a more careful consideration of this subject, will discontinue their efforts of selling merchandise and taking Liberty Bonds in payment"

ROUNDUP OR DENTISTS.
Those Not Having Certificates Being
 Taken Into Custody.

Hartford, Jan. 2.-It was learned today in connection with the arrest of Dr. Wnl. o. Lockhart, a dentist, who was taken into custody on a charge of violating the dentistry law that other dentists throughout the state were being apprehended on a similar charge
 Superintendent of State Police Egan said those arrested had applied their trade without having the proper cer- tificates, and that the commission had found it necessary to cause the ar rests in order to protect the public. Dr. Edward Eberle, a member of the commission said the arrests were a continuation of a movement by the Connecticut State Dental association and the commission to stamp out an illegal practice. He said I've hope through this movement to force out crooked practitioners who are oper- ating illegally"

Petrograd, says the German attituoe
 regarding the freeing of occupied
 Russian territories depends entirely
 on the relationship of the Bolsheviki
 government with the Ukraine and
 Cossacks He adds that if the En-
 tente allies refuse to negotiate a gen
 eral peace Germany will not consider
 her declarations to the Bolsheviki
 binding. Germanys fundamental war
 aims, it is said, are to create an eco-
 homie union stretching from Ham,
 burg to the Persian gulf giving Tur-
 key and Bulgaria with certain re-
 strictions, the same position as that
 occupied by Australia and Canada in their economic relations with Great
 Britain.
 The representatives of Bulgaria and Turkey, the Russian delegate said, are
 most obstinate regarding concessions as compared with the German dele gates and he believes their attitude will hamper further negotiations. M. Pavlovitch thinks Grmany cer-
 tainly will demand the evacuation of Mesopotamia, Arabia, and Palestine for the freedom of Belgium and oc- cupied French territory and if the successes of the Central powers in Italy continue, 1t will demand the return of Tripol

Demands Release.

London, Jan. 2.-The Petrograd correspondent of the Daily News says the Russians demanded that all so- cialists imprisoned in Germany be re- leased immediately. Count von Mir bach, head of the German political delegation in Petrograd, replied that this was a political question and the delegation was only empowered to deal with technical matters. The cor respondent report says the Russians insisted that the count agree to trans init the demand to the German gov ernment.
 The delegation adds the correspond ent will probably be embarrassed by the further demand that large num- bers of civilians who had been taken to Germany and forced to labor there is released.
