Delaware Organized to Relieve the
Farm Help Situation

With a shortage of 1000 farm
workers in Delaware we must not
hesitate to take any steps that may
be necessary to organize the State to
supply this help, and prevent a de-
crease in food production in this crit
ical hour. 1t is apparent that no one
agency will be successful in affording
complete relief to this serious situa-
tion and for that reason, The Boys
Working Reserve, The Public Service
Reserve, and the United States En-
ployment Service have combined under
one direction and in one Office at 9th
and King streets, Wilmington, to sup
ply farm labor. To this Office also
comes the demand for help from the
County Agents office in each County.
These Offices have been especially
equipped in each county so that they
Smyrna times., 1918-05-29

can pass on, to the Wilmington Office,
the requests made by farmers for
help. At the Wilmington Office the
three sources of supply already men
toned are drawn upon to fill these re-
quests for help.
Because Of the demands made by
wartime industries and by the Army
lit is apparent that these sources of
help are likely to prove inadequate so
that still further efforts must be made
to tap hitherto untouched sources of
farm help, such as volunteer town
labor, and any wOmen's or girls camps
that may be founded for fruit picking
In some States, of which New York
is the most notable example, many
Women's camps were formed last
year, and they were found to be a
very successful and satisfactory source
Of help for certain kinds of work on
the farms of that State. These means
will all afford an amount of help that.
in the aggregate, will be very large.
Furthermore, Delaware's Compulsory
Work Law will be in operation very
soon, and it will tend to single out
every man who is dieting or hiding
behind job that can be done equally
we'll by a woman. and place him on a
farm where he can do a mans work
toward forwarding our cause across
the Seas. 1t is estimated that there
are 1000 men in Delaware who could
be replaced by women, or are other
wise available for farm work who are
not now employed in any position that
is helping to win the war. After all
that is the primary consideration fac
ing US today, and an army of 1000
men on the farms of Delaware would
be a great step in that direction; we
should not hesitate to make any move
that will forward this desired pur-
pose.

Robert Leslie Dawson, a youth of
II years was held at Middletown for
hearing on charges of robbing three
dwellings in broad daylight, and steal
ing money amounting to nearly $85.
Dawson, whom the police say is an
escaped inmate of the Ferris Indus
trial School, travelled on a bicycle,
and made his entrance to the homes
while the women of the houses were
busy about the kitchens, during meal
hours. From the home of Howard
Tibbitt on Friday he is alleged to
have stolen $39. rs; from the home
of Mitchell Colt, Sunday morning,
$11; and from the home of Harry
Williams on the Janvie- farm, near
Summit Bridge, Sunday afternoon,
$32. The boy was captured Monday
by Mitchell Colt, whose house near
Mt. Pleasant was robbed Sunday
morning. A negro boy who is en-
ployed by Colt, seeing the boy travel
ing down the road on his bicycle,
notified Colt, who Immediately gave
chase, captured Dawson, and turned
him over to the police. Chief of Po-
lice Hilyard searched the boy and
found s31. so concealed in the toe of
his stocking. Williams appeared later
and charged the boy with the theft of
the money. He was given hearing
before Judge Stevens and recommit-
ted to the Ferris Industrial School.

plant in that vicinity. less such
amounts as shall be paid by the st.
Georges Marsh Company. The bank
to be built extends about two miles,

Bids received for distributing stone

bids, making two divisions of the
group, one to include those roads of

of the roads below the canal is about
fifty miles.
The three bids received by the court

 IN GERMAN PRISON CAMP

Lashar, and & sister of Walter B. Lashar.
 He was wounded in the battle on October 22, and was captured by the Germans and taken to German prison camp. His wound was a severe one, through the shoulder and right lung. He was kept in the prison csznp have saved his life. He was rescued without medical attention which might when the armistice was signed but the refined surgery of the Huns had done its work. The condition of his lungs was too serious for a cure and he died on Nov. 30.
 The only word received until quite recently was that he had been report ed missing. Then came postal from him written from the British hospital, but telling very little except that he was still alive at that time. A letter was received by his parents from Miss Edith G. Austin of Boston, who was nursing in the hospital, that his con dition was very serious and but little hope could be held out for his recov- cry. Word was received yesterday from a nun in the same hospital stat ing that he had succumbed to his in- l juries which through German mat tention, had become mortal wounds.

GROWTH OF APPROPRIATION
 OF CHEMICALS

No industry in the United States has shown a more wonderful growth dur ing the war than that of chemicals. The exportation of chemicals from the United States in the year which ends with this month will show total of approximately SITS, 100000, against S37,000,00O in the year i'm mediately preceding the war.
 While of course the exportation of strictly war materials such as explo- sives, shells, etc, shows perhaps larger increase during the war period, the growth in the production and ex- portation of chemicals for which a permanent demand could be expected is especially suggestive in this coun- try with such large possibilities in this line, both for foreign and do- mestic markets. A compilation by the National City Bank of New York shows that the value of chemicals ex- ported steadily grew from the be- ginning of the war, and as above in- | dicated will approximate $175, ,000 1 in the current year, against about | $27,000,o00 in the year immediately preceding the wear.
 The United States has always been a large importer of chemicals, the total value of this class of merchan- | disc imported prior to the war being
 about three, and in some instances al
 much as four times the exports, ant
 while the demands of the war have
 been such as to somewhat stimulate
 the importation, meantime the per l |, s5, s7,1T0 1--Ae 1,o

Five Dollar Membership, Which Include Gift Cards,
 Literally Subscribed.

At noon today W. R. Bassick, chairman of the Red Cross Christmas roll call, estimated the actual num- per of memberships in hand, or re- ported from various factories and other places where enrollments are taken, as 43,000. As far as known. Bridgeport is still in the lead among ] cities.
 , 'When the Red Cross workers went out on Sunday to canvass the city they took with them remark blanks" on which they made a note | of the name and address of each per- son who refused to join, and the req son given for the refusal.
 'TAterally hundreds of people have been put into temporary straits by the recent visitation of Spanish in duenza with sickness and death in their homes. Such persons in many cases feel keenly the deprivation of the Red Cross membership, and to those who wish to make up this lack the Christmas cards supply the means, If desired, names of persons to whom they might be sent will be | given"
 i Any person may purchase any | number of these Christmas cards, from one up; any person who takes 1 i've qualities as a member of the Five Dollar Red Cross club, the membership list of which will be published.
 Thus far, Ehe following factories nave reported 100 per cent of their working forces enrolled as 1919 mem loers of the Red Cross: American Chain company, Bryant Electric com 1any, Raybestos company, Wolverine Motor Works, Burns & Bassick, Grant

chemicals consist largely of classes of materials not produced in the United States, and included in the fascal year 1918, s7O,OOO, 900 worth of nitrate of soda, Chilean product, and $22.- 900, ,0oO worth of gum, strictly trop- ical products Eliminating these
 strictly tropical articles which have

 "Chemicals' the present importation
 of manufactured chemicals is ex- tremely small, indicating that our own manufacturers are at present supplying the great markets for chemicals in the United States, and at | the same time sending nearly $780, | 100000 worth a year to foreign I markets. In the full fiscal year 1918 l the chemicals exported aggregated in | value $152, 100000 against $27,0OO,- l 900 in the year preceding the war; | $46,0O00 900 in the first year of the
 war and $24,O0o,OOo in the second
 year of the war.
 The most striking feature of this | growth in the exportation of chem
 icals occurs in dyes and dyestuffs, of
 which the United States was prior tc the war an extremely small exporter and a very large importer. The total
 value of dyestuffs exported in the
 fiscal year 1918 was S17,000,00(
 against $12,OOO,O00 in 1917; $5,0O0,-
 900 in 1916; $1,OOO,OOO in 1915, and less than $500,00O in 1914, the yea. preceding the war. Prior to. the wal l the exportatiou of dyes and dyestuf had never exceeded about $500,0 , while imports of dyestuffs prior t the war aggregated from 10000, ,00i 5 to S15,0O0,000 per annum. Dye stuffs exported to Great Britain in tn 3 1 fiscal year 1919 totaled oyer $2,5o0, f 900. against s7o.eQo la thesxear hefer
