which greeted the opening Of the

Everybody was IN the line Of march

Child and adult marched in the even
lines that received hearty ovations
from child and adult along the sides
of the streets
The whole spectacle showed long
I preparation, both in the floats that
! dotted the parade and in the attire
worn by the 40 900 rnarchers. The
words Red Cross" and Angels Of
! Mercy fairly dubbed from each row
/ of parsders When they reached the
Cir, Auditorium they seemed as fresh
AS at the start and could have walk

which they were supporting.
| There were not SO many soldiers
! and sailors in the pageant rs have
featured other such demonstrations
: but they are doubtless away seeing
\ service on the fields OF battle. But
what was lacking in soldiers and

Out at Conference at State
Capital.
SHOW HOW TO SAVE FOOD

Farmers of the state will assemble at
Dover on Friday. March - for meeting
that because Of war conditions and mat
tcrs pertaining thereto IS expected to be
Of more than ordinary Importance
The gTangcrs vail discuss what seeds
shall be planted. and how much or 10
what extent certain crops shall be raised
Another very important question Will be
that OF obtaining farm labor But the
most import ant question Of all to most Of
the farmers is that of prlcc tiNing on crops
The fact that Army and Navy officials
last week announced that they would not
pay more than S2l ton for tomatoes
has created much discussion among the
farmers and the Food administration
was wrongly accused Of being the branch
Of the government that bad fixed price
The Food Administration had nothing
u 10 with the tomato proposition and it
never fixes prices. but At some times has
named - maximum figure But tins has
never been upon tomatoes
But a. tins meeting tins week Lhc
tomato question Will be threshed ont and

farmers of the State fhe to0d Admins

Food Administration is desirOus Of having
them do It is likely that State Food
Administrator Edmund Mitchell viii also

will be on the subject of the use Of perish

feature. Still another viii be the usc OF
green vegetables as salads
In connection with the demonstration
there will be an exhibit showing the food

THE WAR SITUATION.

Increased activity. especially In
the artillery. on the western front.
has not yet resulted in a deter
mined attack by either Of the OPP
posinp forces. The Germans are
more active on the British and BEL
giau fronts than elsewhere. Near
kippe. In Flanders. the ReIgians
have driven the enem, from parts Of
the trenches he took several days
ago.
Recent German attacks or the
British lines in the ipres area were
checked through British knowl-
edge Of enemy plans gained from
deserters and prisoners. The enemy
intended tn take Important posi-
tons south Of HouthoIst forest. but
heavy British artillert fire prev ented
a major effort and the strong Brit
ish defence threw back the strong
local attacks the Germans carried
out.
On the American sector north
west Of Toul the artillery and aerial
activity has increased. American
gunners have shelied effectively
various enemy targets opposite the
American trenches. The German
reply was without result. German
airplanes have attacked American
trenches with machine gun fire.
while French gunners bro ought down
an enemy aifnlare within the Ameri
can lines.
