ONE OFFSET.

The Surgeon Generals reports in July covered some two and half million men, about half of them in France enroute Some of them then participating in the heavy fighting the Narne sleeping and eating any way they could. All these men were away from home subject to novel regimen. The death rate from dis: ease among them was rifle under two year out of each thousand For men of military age in civil life the death rate from disease is three times as high.
 As of soldiers subjected to the rgors of rate may rise somewhat But though science mutplies weapons of destruction it also safeguards the soldier from other risks that formerly deadly bullets
 In the Mexican War the death rate from disease was at the rate of 100 year out of every 1000 In the Civil War the rate in 1862 40 of 1O0O but next year it rose to 60 1OOO The disease rate in the SpanishAn erican War was 255 1OOO In Russo-Japanese War it was 20 1000
 This is a great offset to battle losses.

ROAD BUILDING PROS

Gently went to Washington, D. c.
to obtain shipments Of stone for
the season.
After a conference with Re-
preventative Albert F. Polk the
delegation visited the Office of
Public Roads and the Highway
Transport Committee, where they
were assured of cooperation in
receiving shipments through the
Director of Railroads. AS both are
in direct touch with the "ailroad
office and as everything that per-
tains to road work is referred to
them for definite information the
delegation were practically at the
lend of their string" They were
informed that the railroad situa-
tion still was very acute, but the
present embargo on road materials
would be lifted as soon as condi-
tions would warrant; then, if the
Levy Court were unsuccessful in
dealing with the local railroad au-
thorities, the more important cases
would be taken up with the Direc-
tor of Railroads. The officials in
terviewed did not feel that priority
orders for transportation would be
issued for any road construction.
The delegations conclusions in
regard to transportation were that
for the present they were blocked
entirely by the embargo except for
what small amount of stone they
might get from local quaries, and
that during the whole season they
would be handicapped by irregular
and uncertain car shipments.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
AID in WAR
Secretary McAdoo Defines
Their Work

In an appeal to the boys and
girls of America to enlist in the
army of workers and savers for the
Nation, Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo points out that if every
school child will invest 25 cents a
week in Government thrift stamps,
the Treasury will have S6,000,000
week, or S3OO,OOO,OO0 year, to
help pay the cost of the war.
Mr.. McAdoo, in his address to
the boys and girls, says:
Il want to enlist you as volun-
teers under the Colors, to help the
Government put the w h o e
strength of the Nation behind our
gallant fighting men.
"Our soldiers and sailors must
have countless cargoes of food and
munitions. They must have a
great fleet of ships to carry car
goes across the Atlantic.
"To perform this great task,
costing every day millions of
money and the labor of millions of
men and women, the Nation must
have the help of every one of you.
at is a splendid opportunity
that you have to do your part in
winning the war. Try each day to
find some useful thing to do-help

so sorely needed be Workers and
Savers for the Nation.
when you receive money, if
only a few pennies, lend it to the
Government by the purchase of

BASEBALL PRAC-
TICE BEGINS
Track Men Also Start Train
ing

At a meeting called last We'd
nesday by Coach Baumgartner for
those interested in either track or
baseball, the Coach outlined his
plans for spring practice. The
Coach said that he wanted plenty
of men to come out for baseball,
but that he did not want men to
take up his time if they intended to
practice only a few days. Speak
ing of the need for a pitcher to fill
Clancy's place on this years team,
the Coach said that it is not hard
to pitch for college baseball. "All
you need" he said, sis to have a
strong arm" IF you can throw
the ball within six inches of the
place you aim for, you can learn to
pitch" He also told how, on his
college team, a first baseman who
had never pitched before, was de-
veloped into a successful. pitcher.
The Coach said that he does not
intend to give out any suits until
just before the first game, thus
avoiding the necessity of taking
back any mans suit.
At the same meeting, Dave
Crockett made a call for track can
didates. Dave plans to get the
men in shape by the middle of
April. AS soon as the basketball
games are over, there will be daily
practices which will include joys
down Depot Road In rainy wealth
er, the men will exercise in the
gym to keep themselves in condi-
ton. Dave" announced that Pat
Keyes will be here the last week
in March, and that he will come to
the college two days every week.
He appealed to the fellows to stand
back of him, and said that if there
is the proper support this should
certainly be winning season for
Delaware. In conclusion, Dave"
gave the men the following very
good quits" to aid in their train
ing: First, quit smoking; second,
quit staying up late at night; third,
quit failing to practice regularly
fourth, quit overeating.

EVERY LIFE A REASON
FOR PURCHASING BONDS
Duty to Our Country Far Greater
Than to Dearest Friends In
Time of Need.
BY LILLIAN GISH,
Famous Screen Actress.

l know 5OO,OOOOOO reasons for buy
ing Liberty bond, and not one
against bond. Certainly every life
in this country and in the lands Of our
allies offers reason, for each one con-
siders his or her life and freedom
worth any protection necessary, even
to death.
No matter how pressed for funds
one would loan q dearest friend few
dollars in time of greatest need, know
ing the money would be returned with
interest. And how much greater is
the duty to ones country than to ones
dearest friend!
If you had been with me In London
one afternoon, "FOur-Minute' man
Of a different breed than ours would
have given you so many reasons to
buy bonds you would never think OF
reasons, but just give, and give, and
give. He was a Hun aviator and he
was over London just four minutes.
And he dropped bombs.
One dropped on 6 public school,
studies. It was a big school. Near
ly all were killed or MANNED. Their
mothers came, when the alarm was
spread. They fought with the police.
Most of the mothers had husbands at

producers as the laying breeds, and
not as meaty and as easy to fatten
as the meat breeds, yet combine In
one individual fowl very good laying
capacity with very good table quality.
The LeghOrn, Minorca, Andalusian,
Ancona and Campine are well-known
breeds of the laying class the Brahma,
Dorking and Cornish Of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte.
Rhode Island Red and Orpington Of
the general-purpose class.
The breeds mentioned as Of the lay
ing class, with the exception of the
Minorca, are relatively small, very
energetic and lively, mature early, and
are easily kept in good laying condi-
ton. The Minorca Is of larger size
and modified somewhat in the other
particulars mentioned, yet has more
the character of the laying class than
Of any other.
In the meat breeds, there is not the
same uniformity Of type that is found
in the laying breeds. The three men
toned differ decidedly. The Brahma
Is most popular because it Is at the
same time the largest and the most
rugged In constitution. The Dorking
excels In quality Of meat, but is gen.
orally considered somewhat lacking in
hardness. The Cornish is rather
hard-meated, but, being very short
feathered. has it's special place as a
Sarge meat-producing fowl in Souther-
ly sections where the more heavily
feathered Brahma does not stand the
summer we'll.
Among the popular breeds Of the
general-purpose class there are also
differences in type, adapting breeds to
different uses. The Plymouth Rock
is generally regarded as the type meet
ing the widest range Of requirements
In the general-purpose class.
The Wyandotte is a little smaller
and earlier maturing, but still very
well meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearly
the same standards of weight as the
Wyandotte, but is q more active bird,
not putting on fat so readily. Conse-
quently it approaches the laying type
and is popular with those who want
eggs and meat but want eggs most.
The Orpington is at the other ex.
IRENE in the general-purpose class be-
ing a heavier, meatier fowl than the
Plymouth Rock.
Such list Of breeds affords so wide
a range Of choice that poultry keep
ers can always select q standard breed
better adapted to their locality and
their purpose than any nonstandard
stock they can procure and having
the further advantage Of producing
true to type.
