ENGINEER UPHAM GETS
GOVERNMENT VIEW
Relative To Road Building
Project In Delaware

Charles M. Upham, chief engi-
neer of the State Highway Com
mission, has recently announced
the result of an investigation of
the governments view of the
road-buildings project, announced
in his report early in January.
From the communications received,
Mr.. Upham declares, he is con-
vinced that the different depart
ments of the government believe in
encouraging such projects when
they are likely to be used as mill
tary roads.
The War Department and the
Council of National Defense are
said to be in favor of the construc-
tion of main arteries and roads
north and south. Secretary of
Agriculture Houston is said to
favor those essential, while Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo has
expressed his willingness to afford
transportation for materials for
such projects if it is possible to
provide it.
There seems little doubt that the
government will be interested in
the project in Delaware at least
so far as the upper end of the state
is concerned, this projeCt being a
part of the main trunk line high
way through Delaware.
There is every reason to believe
that great amount of government
traffic is to pass over this trunk
line in the future, and it is also
believed that the project for the
road down the state may appeal tc
the government as we'll especially
in view of the new fortifcation be.
ing built on the Delaware bay anG
the fact that somewhere along the
coast near Lewes is a naval base.
Mr.. Upham sees no great hind
rance in the War to road building
for there promises to be an abun
dance of material and plenty o.
bidders eager to submit estimates
The decision of the State High
way Commission which meets a
the call of the Governor, is awaited
with interest.

Chairman
All Factions Urged to Unite for
Victory

At meeting of the Republican
County Committee on Saturday
afternoon, DR.. L. Heisler Ball was
reelected county chairman. DR..
Ball was empowered to appoint an
advisory committee to cooperate
in conducting the campaign in the
interests of party success.
Nearly everyone or the ITO men,
bers of the committee was present,
in addition to many other Republi-
cans. DR.. Ball presided at the
meeting and delivered a stirring
address in which he advocated that
the County Committee work with
the National Committees harmony
program for the purpose of bring
ing all "isms" of the party togeth-
err, that personal or individual gain
be forgotten and the welfare of the
party be the paramount motive,
DR.. Ball said he wanted the af-
fairs of the committee and party
so conducted that every voter who
believed in the principles of the Re-
publican party would join in as
sisting the committee TO send Re-
publican United States Senator
and Congressman to Washington
as we'll as electing the entire State
and county Republican ticket next
fall. He pointed out the necessity
of having Congress in the hands of
the Republican party after the
war.
Meanwhile, DR.. Ball, said, he
hoped the Republican party
would stand by the administration
at this time and do its full part in
helping to win the war He sug-
gested the appointment of an
advisory committee, the object of
which would be to unite all the
party factions so that all would
have some say in the conduct of
the campaign. He said this COM
mittee need not necessarily consist
only of county committee members.
If harmony could not be obtained
DR.. Ball said he was willing to re-
sign as county chairman and let
: some one else take the reins.
DR.. Ball had only to finish to find
!, out that his views had the approval
Of all present With Vice-Chair-
man Isaac w. Bowers in the chair,
vote was taken, and the result
was unanimous in favor of the
chairman's plan.

their feeling on the matter and all
urged that harmony be the fore
most thought during the campaign.

= James H. Morris, John Titus,
Charles H. Grantland, Benjamin A.
Groves and William B. Smith.

Conservation Plan
for Rural Delaware
Details Discussed at Meeting
Yesterday

A systematic "drive" to capture
Rural Delaware for the Food Ad |
ministration was begun in Will
mington yestel day afternoon, when
rr7minent citizens selected to act
A district food administrators met
in conferenc ewith Edmund Nit
choll. Federal Food Administrator
for Delaware, in the latter's Office
in the Equitable Building. Plans
of the Food Administration were
discussed and explained and an or
qanized line of effort determined
upon.
In organizing the rural sections
Administrator Mitchell decided
that the better plan would be to
select men from each Senatorial
district, and this plan was put into
effect. Those who attended the
conference were:
Rural New Castle
Third Senatorial District, New
ton L. Grubb; Sixth district, Geo.
". Pevely, Middletown; Seventh
district, Richard Hodson, Towns
end; two other district admins
traitors to be selected.
Kent County
First district, S. J. Reynolds,
Smyrna; Second district, J. Free
man Clark, Kenton; Third district,
Eugene Raughley, Dover; Fifth
district, Wallace S. Handy, Mil
ford; one administrator to be
selected.
Sussex County
First district, William B. Truitt,
Bridgeville; Second district, Ar
thur S. Hearn, Laurel; Third dis
trict, Charles M. Hollis, Seaford !;
Fifth district, DR.. w. R. Messick,
Lewes; one administrator to be
selected
These men will handle all the
business of the food administra-
ton in their respective districts,
they, in turn making reports of the
progress of the work to Mr.. Nit
chell in this city. All complaints,
and all persons seeking informa-
tion in their districts are to trans
act all business through them.
Sales to Farmers
One of the chief items of inter
est discussed was the matter OF
wheat flour conservation. 1t was
decided to provide certificates fol
millers and storekeepers selling tt
farmers.
No sales to farmers of wheat
-four will be permitted without
substitutes unless the latter pro
duces a certift ate showing that he
has had cornmeal ground and viii
agree to use it with the wheat
flour.
No miller will be permitted tt
deliver wheat -four a farmer un
less he produces a certificate tt
show that the wheat was grown oil
his farm. This is to prevent re
sales and numerous other ways II
which the food regulations coult
be evaded.
There were some cases reported
where farmers and millers wer
accused of failing to live up to tn
food regulations regarding tn
conservation of wheat. In all o
these instances, an investigation
has proven that the violation wa
due to ignorance Of the rules an
Food regulations.
