Gives Views On The
Tomato Situation

Mr.. Editor:
l want TO say just word in your
paper concerning the tomato situa
ton in lower Dorchester. l think
the time has come when the tomato
grower must speak, and speak iouG
enough to be heard. We, the farm
ers, are patriotic. We know that
without our help Uncle Sam cannot
feed his millions of men on the bat
tie fields of this country and France,
yet while we are patriotic, why
should not our packers be little pa
triotic also? We are selling toua.
basket. Our packers know that We
cannot do this without great loss
| to ourselves. After a dry summer,
together with rest to destroy cur
crops, we have raised nothing like
the average yield. From what We
can hear, the packers are exultant
over the low prices. Perhaps that is
because they know that at the end
of the canning season they will come
out with well-filled purses. But i'll
the meantime, where will the tomato
grower be? The growing of toma-
toes must surely become extinct. =
The farmer, the man indispensable.
the man who raises the produce, the
man to whom our Government, our
country. is looking to help win this
great war of nations, should be ba TX
ed by patriotic citizens. DO we call
| it patriotism when our packers are
only giving us 25c. and 35c. bas-
ket for our tomatoes? Call it what
you like, but the day of retribution
is surely coming, and that day is
not far in the distance.

Santiago de Cuba,
August "a, 1918.
Dear Mamma:
Well, l did get ashore again to-
might, and as l promised in my let
ter last night, l am writing to you.
l am in the hotel Case Granda, which
is the best one in town, and, by the
way, it is very near our ship. l am
Just Lere to rite to you AMI then 7
an. going lack to the ship. While
ar, telling you about the hotel [ want
- rentioR the dining room. 1t is
located en- large plaza, or perch.
and it does nc. have any scra- or
wiadcws OF sEy kind of netting
around it. Just an open-air affair T.
is a funny ting, but there ara no
flies or mosquitoes here.
l cannot tell you what my address
will be yet, for l will not know until
l get there. 1 think that We leave
here tomorrow Sunday. or Mon
day, so Just as soon as l arrive [ will
write and give you my address. and
then ! want you to write really Of
ten, for l sure feel lonesome without
any mail.
Believe me, l had a good trip on
the ocean, coming down mere. We
left Charleston, S. c., and sailed
right down the coast of the U. S. The
points of interest we passed and saw
were st. Augustine, Florida, Palm
Beach and Key West. Then we
came down the coast of Cuba, over
to Puerto Plato, Dominican Repub-
lie. Next we went to Cape Haitien,
Haiti, but were only there about two
hours before we left for here. I for
got to tell you that we were at sea
six days before we saw any land at
all, and it sure looked good when we
did see it.
Last night was the first time we
had liberty here and nearly everyone
got drunk, for you can get beer,
whiskey or anything you want here.
The men cursed and had high time
until some of us got them all to bed.
l met three fine fellows who are
going to Guantanamo, and we are
chums all ready. Last night, in
stead of doing like the rest, we came
in and sent a cablegram home; then
had a little dinner, and afterwards
had an auto ride through the his
torical parts of this town. So you
see / still know how to behave.
Some of the things in this letter
may be scratched or cut out, for my
mail will be censored, l suppose.
Well, l must close now and return
to the ship. Will write again as
soon as possible.
Goodbye, and with best love to all
AS ever, your boy,
HARLAN.

Vickers, of Church Creek, from her
son:
New York City, Sept. 9th.
My dear Mother:
This is my last liberty here, so
will write you just a few lines and
let you know that I am well. l have
not heard from you since last Friday.
Expected to hear today, but we have
not gotten any mail on board since
we left Yorktown, but will get 1t to-
morrow morning, 1 think.
We leave tomorrow evening, and
l expect to enjoy my trip over, so
don't be worried, as L will be all
right and get back safely. l wish L
could have gotten home for few
days before 1 left, but as l could not,
it is all right, and may be for the
best.
You can write to me at the same
address. but it is not much use until
YOU hear from me. l am ANXIOUS TO
know what address you will have
when you move to the city.
Please don't worry about me, as 1t
doesn't do any good. l will be en-
Toying myself, and want to be where
I can do some good.
With lots of love and best wishes,

NO CHANGE MADE
IN CLOSING ORDER
Saloons Remain Open, While
Others Closed at 6 O'Clock
Last Night

The six o'clock closing order still
remained in force last night, although
the saloons of the city remained open
until IL o'clock.
The business houses closed up as
they have been bidden by the Fuel
Administrator, oliver w. Ramsay.
even in view Of the fact that pleas
conferences with Richard C. Jenkin-
sen, the fuel administrator for New
Jersey at his Office in Newark. to have
the order closing the city up at
o'clock recalled.
A delegation from this city had ar
ranged to call upon the fuel admins
traitor again yesterday to seek some
action in the matter, as the majority
of the shop keepers desire to remain
open, and can see no reason why they
must be required to close, when cities
and towns nearby are allowed 10 re-
main open until any hour that suits
them.
Alderman Ira r. Grouse said to-
dav that he knew nothing about a
meeting scheduled to be held yester-
day in Newark with Mr.. Jenkinson
and that he did not attend such a
meeting, although he was present at
the meeting Monday. No one else
could be found who knew anything
about or attended q meeting with the
fuel administrator yesterday.
However, Mr.. Grouse said that at
the meeting Monday Mr.. Jenkinson
advised the merchants of the city TO
get in touch with the local fuel ad-
ministrator and try to come to some
agreement, as whether they closed or
not was up to him. When asked about
the closing of the saloons. Mr.. Grouse
said that Mr.. Jenkinson also said that
this matter was up to the local admin
istrator.
| According to Mr.. Grouse. Mr.Jen-
kinson informed them that some OF
the other towns and cities of this
county had already taken up the clos
Ing hour with the administrators and
If the merchants of this city did the
same results might be forthcoming.
