BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR LOCAL
FACTORY.

The Porter-Young company of this
city is now working on humidifier
for school buildings, public halls and
theatres, and will have one of these
machines in operation in short time.
In addition to making the small hu-
midifier for cigar cases, they have
made one especially designed for bak-
cries, and have one of these in op-
Grafton in the McKeag bakery in this
city. This humidifier or steamer takes
up cubic foot of space in proof
box and creates the necessary steam
for proofing bread, buns, rolls, etc. It
is claimed that the cost of operation
is less than one-third of the cost of
steam boiler. These machines are op-
Grated with electricity, the same as
the little machines for cigar cases.
and when steam is needed in the oven
it only takes few seconds to get 1t.
The larger type of huniditier is now in
the experiment stage, and as soon Us
one of the machines is completed it
will be given thorough try-out in
one of Manchester's homes. There is
a growing demand for just such an
appliance, and when once perfected,
the manufacturers will no doubt find
ready sale for the various types of
machines. .....

GERMAN PROPAGANDISTS BUSY
IN CANADA.

Canada also is having trouble with
made-in-Germany lies calculated 10
hinder Canadian food conservation.
according to an official statement re-
ceiyed from the Canadian Food Con-
troller by the United States Food Ad-
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are or
the same general character as those
the United States Food Administrator
recently denounced in this country,
such as the ridiculous salt and blue
ing fakes and the report that the gov
ernment would seize housewives home
stocks of winter canned goods.
The Canadian Food Controller esti-
mates that when the people listen tc
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige o.
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually
They have started simultaneously II
different parts of the country and II
each instance have been calculated
to arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the worl
of food control"
1t lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmfu
story; and thus the more effectivel
to co-operate in work which is goin
to mean more than the majority Q
people yet realize.

A vivid depletion of actual food con-
ditions as they exist in Europe is
promised those who attend the meet
ing at the City Opera House tomorrow
(Thursday) night. Hon. Everett Col
by has actually experienced the Euro
pean conditions. He has been on the
Italian front, the Western front, in the
trenches, in the army kitchens, and in
fact has been in touch with all those
things in which we Americans are so
vitality interested at the present time.
DR.. Wilbur, President of Leland
Stanford University, will emphasize
the Importance if food conservation
in America and the observance of
the "less days" by which the Food Ad-
ministration will be able to increase
grain and meat shipments to famine
threatened Europe. He brings the as
surance that the United States Food
Administration is going to protect the,
American people in their food supply.
He isvigorous in his warnings against
German pIopoganda that has been cir
culated in this country with the idea
of destroying confidence of Americans
in their government.
Miss Isabel G.. Beecher of Birming
ham, Alabama, is one of the very best
speakers of the country. She has
been connected with chautauqua work
for several years and brings most
intimate knowledge of food conditions
throughout the country.
These speakers all have perfect
knowledge of their subject and their
ability is second to none in the coun-
try 1t is rare privilege that we are
to have three such speakers and it is
hoped they will be greeted by a large
audience.

RETAILERS Of COUNTY
HOLD Meeting TUESDAY
REPRESENTATIVE RETAIL MER-
CHANTS OF DELAWARE COUNTY
DISCUSS FOOD CONSERVATION.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NAMED
Various Phases of Food Conservation
We're Discussed by Men Present
At Meeting.

A large number of the retail mer
chants of Delaware county met a.
the court house Tuesday forenoon, fo1
conference with the county food ad
ministrator and to discuss the fedora
food conservation regulations. Vari-
GUS phases of the regulations were
brought up for discussion by the men
present, and full and free discussion
was had on the same. L. Matthews
food administrator for Delaware coun-
| ty, presided over the meeting, and H
w. Phenicie was chosen secretary of
the meeting. An executive committee
consisting of one representative from
each town in the county was selected.
This committee will work in conjunc-
tion with the county food administra-
tor. The committee consists of the
following merchants:
Manchester-F. E. Reed.
Earlville-Wm. Hunt. 49, ~
Hopkinton-B. NJ. Ferguson.
Colesburg-Clyde Bolsinger.
Masonville-T. NJ. Eldredge.
Greeley-A. Martin.
Dundee-N. NJ. Rowley.
Petersburg-Richard Rubley. +
Ryan-T. V. Ware.
Robinson-Jas. RiZer.
Sand Spring-H. S. Pierce.
Thorpe-D. J. Wonleighton.
Delaware-W. J. Hillmer.
Oneida-H. A. Legg.
A number of the merchants stated
that some difficulty was experienced
in explaining to the people generally
the requirements of the new regula-
tions. One merchant stated that one
or two of his customers were obsti-
nate and were not taking kindly to
the rigid rules as laid down by the
Food Administrator. Most of the mer
chants found that the people general
ly were willing to abide by the rules
conserving food without complaint.
It was the concensus of opinion that
if the people understood more fully the
seriousness of the situation and the
intent of the regulations, there would
be little dissatisfaction.
This world war is going to be won
for democracy, but it will not be won
alone by the American soldiers and
the soldiers of England, France and
Italy. Every citizen of this great
country has to do his bit, and that may
be to conserve food 1t is better to
eat war bread for time, than to pay
indemnity to the unspeakable Hun.
