TODAY DELAWARE is making a
supreme effort to raise the apportion-
ment set for her by the sale of War
Saving Stamps. In the buying of
Liberty Bonds, and in the Red Cross
contributions, as well as in every
helpful fund for the support of the
Government, and for the relief of
suffering, Delaware has so far ex-
ceeded her quotas, that it seems al
most a superhuman thing to again 90
over the top in this popular move to
give more for the upholding of the
hands of our Government. But it
must be done, and the people of every
school district in Delaware are earn
estly canvassing every home, and ev-
cry Office to bring to the great total
Of War Stamp buyers the number and
money necessary to spell success.
VIII we do it? Can we do it? We
believe that we can, and that we will.
The people are aroused to the neces-
sity for them to support the efforts
to win this war, and they never have
failed.

FIRE HAZARDS IN COUNTRY
Farmers Asked to Safeguard Nations
Food Supply.

Food Supply.
The L. S. Food Administration is
sues the following statement of fire
hazards in rural districts and the i'm
pOrtance of safeguarding the nations
! food supplies against this danger
The season is at hand when farmers
are 70 ill their barns with hay and
grain. This period when barns, gran
aries and storehouses contain the
greatest amount of food supplies is al
so the time when they are most liable
to fire destruction.
Farmers are the only large handlers
of food supplies upon whom the gov
ernment depends, entirely without su-
pervisiOn by inspectors, to guard their
holdings against losses by fire; and in
view of the supreme importance of
guarding this seasons stored crops,
farmers are asked to consider destruc-
tiOn or spoilage Of food through fire
as misfortune to the nation and the
allies as well as personal loss to the
holder.
Prominent among the many sources
OF fire in rural districts are lightning,
defective flues and stoves, spontane-
Gus combustion, carelessness with
matches, incendiariSin and sparks from
chimneys and locomotives.
Effective means of fire prevention |
and control are understood by the ma
jOrity of property owners, but particu-
lar attention is called to the import !
ance of removing infammabIe trash |
from the vicinity of buildings, and to |
adequate equipment of ladders and (
buckets when more modern equipment !
for eXtinguishing fires is lacking.
Properly installed systems of light
ming rods and conductors are suggest
ed as projections against lightning
The paramount thought is to save from
loss not only farm buildings, but the
food and feed they contain.
1t will be remembered that famine
In ancient Egypt was prevented by a
little governmental foresight and it
does not require any Illuminating
dream to anticipate that so long as
the war lasts, with its increasing
drafts of ammunition workers. the
world will steadily produce less and
less food. If this years harvests
prove abundant, it will be the first
iuty Of the American people to place
Every grain they can save into storage
,Or future need.

Edmund Mitchell. Food Admin
istratOr for Delaware, has issued
the following regulations in the
use Of beef and sugar to all hotels,
restaurants and eating houses to
take effect at once:
"Roast beef should be served
only with the noon meal on Mon
days. Stewed or boiled beef or
hash should be served only with
the noon meal on Wednesdays and
Saturdays. Beefsteak in any form,
including Hamburg steak, should
be served only with the noon meal
on Thursdays. There is no limit
placed upon the consumption of
pork, mutton, lamb, oxtails, livers,
tongues, sweet breads, hearts, kid
neys, brains and tripe.
ain case they are not complied
with steps will be taken to enforce
them, and dealers will not be per-
mitted to sell supplies to any Vio-
lators Of these rules.
"ln order to clear up any misun-
derstanding as to the sale Of sugar,
storekeepers should sell to city
family not more than two pounds
at any one time and to a family in
the country not more than five
pounds, and the family should limit
themselves in the use of sugar as
much as possible.
"When this quantity is exhausted
by economical use they may go to
the storekeeper and secure another
similar quantity.
"lf the store keeper finds a pur-
chaser is getting sugar from more
than one store, it is evidently done
for boarding purposes, and the
storekeeper should refuse to sell to
any purchaser Of this kind.
lone plan to partially avoid this
would be to sell sugar to your own
only unless you are sure
that the purchases are being made
for proper purposes and in the
proper way"

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES.

Politics is adjourned" But Henry
Ford. Republican. and only two years
ago Michigans choice for the Repub-
lican Presidential nomination, will
run for United States Senator in the
Democratic primaries at the express
request Of Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Ford. we have said. is a Re
publican-that is, he is so regaE led.
But in 1916. the same year in which
Michigan Republicans honored him,
Mr.. Ford is reputed to have furnished
large sums of money to pay for ad-
yertisements to emphasize the kept
us out Of war" argument. These ad-
vertisements were prepared, in part
at least, by George Creel; and we
have the authority Of Mark Sullivan
for saying that the copy of one of
them was so robust in its language
that Mr.. Ford was impelled to pro-
test, whereupon Creel thrust forward
his prognathous jaw and started for
Detroit to make Ford eat his words.
Whether Ford voted for Wilson last
time, we do not know. But we do
know that many people in Michigan
think he did; and we do know that
many more people. in Michigan and
elsewhere, think that is why Presi-
dent Wilson is rendering Mr.. Ford
the nomination which Michigan Dem
Ocrats alone can confer.
But politics is adjourned"

HOW BORDEAUX MIXTURE WAS
DISCOVERED.

Bordeaux mixture, the standard
fungicide spray for potato blights, was
discovered back in 1887, by a French.
man named Millardet.
Professor Millardet had a VINEYARD
at Bordeaux, France. He also had
neighbors, and these neighbors had
boys. There is but one sequel to con.
ditiOns such as these and the sorrowful
fact must be admitted that the bovs
raided the vineyard, and that the pro-
fessOr was robbed of the fruits of his
labors.
To prevent the robbery, Professor
Millardet sprayed his grapes with n
mixture of copper suIphate (bIuestone
or blue vitrOD and lime, the latter ma
terial being used to make fhe conner
Stick and the copper sulphate put in To
make the unwary boy who ate of the
sprayed grapes repent of his sins.
History does not tell us how success
ful this thief preventing and thief de-
tecting device may have been. but II
does relate how the professor noticed
that the vines sprayed with this mate
rial very soon became thriftier than
the others, and were much less injured
by fungus diseases. Later on he tried
the spray on potatoes, and found If
wonderfully effective-sO much that in
oil great potato sections 1t has become
customary to spray with either com
mercial bordeaux or prepare the same
at home, for the prevention of both the
early blight and the late blight or rot

IF THERE ever was a time when
the needs for the United States Gov
ernment to create and maintain an
inland waterway were urgent, that
time is now. With the object lesson
Of submarines destroying shipping
and cargoes vital to the comfort of
the people, as well as the support of
our allies, fresh in mind, every man
and every business interest should
urge upon Congress the necessity TO
take the step necessary as a war
measure. The taking over of the
Delaware and Chesapeake canal, and
then deepening it to accommodate
coastal vessels, as well as moderate
sized war craft, should be done now.
Write to the United States Senators
and members of Congress to make
this important move for a practical
inland water way. The vessels lost,
as well as their cargoes, might have
escaped the German pirates had there
been this inland channel available TO |
traffic.
