WANTS HIGHWAY WORK PUSHED

Senator Frazier, Author of Concurrent
Resolution, Discusses His Reason
AS matter of giving the State
Highway Commission little encour-
agement to go on with the greatly
needd work upon the roads of the state,
Senator Joseph Frazier of Frederick,
Wednesday introduced a bill which,
in way, ''jacKs up the commission
to push the work, despite the usual
cry of high cost of materials and the
shortage of labor.
The officials of the commission are
Governor John G. Townsend, Jr.,
chairman; T. Coleman DUPONT and
Josiah Marvel, of Wilmington; Wal
ter o. Hoffecker of Smyrna, and JOS
eph E. Holland of Milford Senator
Frazier admitted Thursday that there
was no political issue behind his bill,
but, the thought, the commission may
have felt that a bit of legislative
encouragement might have some force
in going on with the work, which is
so badly needed in all sections of the
state.
Senator Frazier's Senate concurrent
resolution, No. l, is as follows:
Whereas, since the creation of the
State Highway Department, the coun-
try has become involved in the Euro
pean war and the new department has
found itself confronted by a scarcity
of labor and materials and unexpected
high cost of carrying out its work
and,
Whereas, it is uncertain how long
such conditions may contine and how
seriously the welfare of the people
may be affected by long delay in
the improvement of our roads, and it is
considered to the public advantage
that the State Highway Department
should have some expression of the
views of the people of the state through
their representatives in the General
Assembly;
"Now, Therefore, be it resolved, By
the Senate. the House of Representa-
tives concurring threein, that the
State Highway Department shall bt
expected to proceed as rapidly as pos
sif' Re carrying out of it's pro
acially with the improve
ment of such roads as shall be of US,
for military purposes or for the trans
portstion of food and supplies to ant
from the state, Notwithstanding tn
difficulties and extraordinary expens
which may be involved therein as
consequence of the war. -

Governor Townsend Gets Word From
Provost Marshal-General and Trans
mits Order to the Local Boards
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has sent telegram to Governor Town
send and by him it has been trans
mitted to the local exemption boards
throughout the state notifying them
of the call by the War Department
for 3O8 additional men for the new
National Army. These men are to
be sent away on March 29th and all
of them will go to Camp Dix. They
will all have to be white men, accord
ing to the order, as no negroes are
included in this draft
1.-THE situation arising from the
scarcity of farm labor, " reads another
order received from General Crowder,
demands that the call to the colors
of men actively. completely and as
siduously engaged in the planting or
cultivation of crops, but who are in
Class No 1 and within the new quota
should be deferred until the end of
tie new quota. Please instruct your
local boards, therefore, that the Presi-
dent directs that in filling this emer-
gency call. they shall pass the order
number of such men and defer their
call for the present.
cit must be borne in mind that this
step is taken solely in the need of the
nation and not for the benefit of any
individual. Therefore, while boards
should consider it a grave duty to
exercise this power to conserve and
augment the agricultural production,
they should observe closely the conduct
of those deferred and Immediately
upon becoming convinced that any
person so deferred is not giving his
entire time and earnest attention to
his agricultural duties or that he is
trifling with the deferment thus gran
ted him, the board should forthwith
call him to the colors. -
The quota each of the seven local
boards in the state will be required to
furnish under this call will be II per
cent. the gross quota of each.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1918-10-25

Through the courtesy Of a reader
of The True Northerner we were
permitted to peruse copy of the
elsie of Pines Appeal, a newspaper
published at Nueve Corona, Isle of
Pines, issue of September 21st. The
portion of this issue of special inter-
est to Paw Paw people, is an account
of the shipment of the first car of
Grape Fruit of the season. The
article states that the finest fruit in
this car load Of Grape Fruit was
from the grove of F. S. Doud and
son. Mr.. Doud, the article states has
now shipped thirteen hundred cases,
and has picked the trees clean as he
went. The fruit was sold in Chicago
for prices ranging from $500 to $3.50
per box. This price nets the growers
about $500 per box on the dock.
About a column of space in the paper
is devoted to description of Mr..
Doud's fine grove and his method Of
and care of the trees and
fruit.

Following are extracts from letter
from Mrs. F. S. Doud, Los Indos, Isle
of Pines, renewing subscription to the
True Northerner:-"We are busy here
the same as in the states with war
work. Our little island has sent
125 of our boys, and although last
year was the hardest ever known here,
there was $4,000 subscribed for the
last Liberty Loan, and $4,000 for the
Red Cross Drive. Then we do the
sewing and knitting the same as in
the states. You may have heard of
the storm that hit the Isle Of Pines
last year the 25th, of September.
Nothing like it was ever known here
before, and we trust it will never
come again. Nueva Corona, the
capital of the island, suffered most.
Not one building in the town or sur
rounding country, that was not dam
aged, and fully one half of them were
flat on the ground and the other half
unroofed Personally, we had the
largest crop of grape fruit we had
ever had on the morning Of the 25th,
and by eleven o'clock A. Nj. it was all
on the ground. We had loss of
$4,000 but we were thankful there
were no lives lost. Many became
discouraged over the loss and went
to look for "Greener Pastures, but
we teel that things will adjust them
selves after the war is over"
