French Live Stock on the Decline.

The United States food administra-
tion has called attention to the large
decrease In live stock in France since
the beginning of the war. In cattle
this decrease amounted to 2,599,OO0 up
to December, 1917; in sheep the de-
crease amounted to 6,23S.000 head; in
hogs to 2,S69,OOO head. In the period
since owing to the food shortage there
has been still further shrinkage. Fig
ures like these indicate that there will
be large and insistent demand for
live stock from this country for the
foreign trade for many years after
peace Is finally established.

John Markle,
Baraga, Michigan.
Dear Folks:
Your most welcome letters received
o. K. and very glad to hear from you.
Received the one from pa and one
from Tburston in Kalamazoo just the
other day. We have been doing so
much moving around the last couple
of weeks that it was just impossible
to do any writing, so don't be disap-
pointed about my letter writing. We
were up on the Argonne front from
the Goth of September until almost up
to the hour the armistice was signed,
and we heard the last shot fired by
our artillery, and they certainly put
over an awful barrage for couple of
hours before II o'clock, which was the
hour set for signing the armistice.
The Argonne front, guess, was one
of the worst fronts we were ever on,
the bloodiest and worst of all, and the
Dutchmen certainly got their belly
full from the Americans, and were ov-
erwhelmed with joy when the armis-
tice was signed; in fact all the soldiers
are glad this awful war is coming to
an end.
The Dutchmen are evacuating AL
sace-Lorrain now and we are right on
their trail following them up. l
started my letter somewhere in
France, but am not in France proper
but / am in Alsace-Lorrain and in
regular German town called Gross
Hettigen, and we are not far from
Luxemberg-just few miles to this
place end this will be our next stop.
We are now the Army Of 0ccups.
ton, occupying hostile territory. All
yca hear is German--little kids, ,wom-
en-, men, everybody talks German.
I'll tell you that Germany was
starved out at big town where we
stopped the other day. I saw some
Germans, civilian men, eating pieces
of bread out Of the swill bucket from
our kitchen. It makes fellow feel
bad to see it. The poor civilians can't
help that this war started. The little
children are poorly dressed. You see
them with big pair of them high top
boots on, that some German soldier
threw away, guess.
The Germans here all seem to like
the Americans. You ought to see
these towns in Alsace-L -Lorrain all dec
GRATED up. Every house, business
place, factories, foundries and every
place now floats a big French flag.
None of these towns have ever been
under shell fire and look like real A.
merican towns all lit up with electric
lights at night. :,
We are going further and further
into German territory from now on.
There are quite few army divisions
following up the Huns. Our division
is the Fourth Division. Perhaps you
have read about it in the papers, es-
pecially the Chicago or Detroit papers.
I have received letters from many
in Baraga, especially some Of the
school children, but the position am
in ! can't answer them and really
can't get the writing material, and
when I've got few sheets Of paper
in my pocket / haven't the tire to
write. It took me half u day today to
scare up this paper, and when we do
see the Y. N. c. A. trucks going by
they never have any paper or ,envel-
opes. would like very much to write
to Cheboygan and tell Aunt Laura I
got her letters and that am still liv-
ing and in the best Of health. You
write and tell them, and also tell them
that Mafshan Field in England never

The official season of the Paris-A-
merican football league came to a
close last Sunday, and the champion
ship went to the Spare Parts Depot of
Chatenay, who won the final game by
the defaulting of the u. S. A. A. S.
team, which was scheduled to play off
the deciding game. Frank Mas, who
has managed the league play for the
Y. M. G. A. during the season, made
all arrangements for last Sunday's
same, which was to be decided at
Chatenay. He had the assurance
from the managers of the respective
teams that both would play. The U.
s. A. A. s. team, however, failed to
come, and after waiting about two
hours the referee declared the game
forfeited in favor of Chatenay. Di-
rector Mas yesterday reported the
matter to Chief Scorer Sergeant
Greenberg, of the league, who put his
O. X. on the decision Of the game Of
ficials and awarded officially the game
10 Chatenay on 10 forfeit, which
leaves the Spare Parts Depot undis-
puted Paris district American football
champions Of 1918.

FARMERS AT OAK ORCHARD
HON. OLIVER WILSON, MASTER OF THE
NATIONAL GRANGE, SPOKE.

Last Saturday, August 16 the farm
ers of Sussex county enjoyed the an
nual picnic at Oak Orchard. The Sus-
sex county Pomona Grange extended
to the Sussex County Farm Bureau
and Producers Associations an invi-
tation to join with them in making
the day a success and everyone was
more than pleased with the program of
the day. Cars from all sections Of
the county started to Oak Orchard
early in the morning and by 10 o'clock
the ground was full of machines. From
IL to y was luncheon hour. Various
groups OF farmers and their friends
were seen enjoying the refreshments
prepared by the good cooks Of the
county, making new acquaintances and
enjoying the companionship OF old
friends
The Georgetown Brass Band ap-
peared on the scene at p. m. and the
crowd. was attracted to the tabernacle
and the program was announced by
State Master, Bro. Jacob Rosa After
stating the object of the meeting Mr..
Rosa introduced Hon. Oliver Wilson,
National Master, who gave a wonder
ful address and made a powerful ap-
peal to the farmers of Sussex county
to organize and have a part in franz
ing the laws for the State and nation. /
Mr.. Wilson referred to what the labor |
union had done and that the farmers
today are suffering a great inconyen-
ience because they had no one to rep
resent them when the daylight saving
law came before Congress. After Mr..
address. County Agent NJ. c.
Vaughn was introduced and after a
lew remarks led in the singing of the
-wo Farm Bureau songs.
Col. Robert G.. Houston, who is well
Known, to all Oranges throughout the
state presented very clearly and forci-
,ly the position of the Farm Bureau.
]ol. Houston also took the liberty to
peak relative to the new school code.
itating that the people of Delaware
Mould not object to the new school
ode, but the system of taxation should
e changed, as the trouble is not with
he State plan of educating the chill
ren but with the peoples plan of {
aislng public funds. Mr.. Houston
aid that he heard one man kick be-
ause his taxes were SIS and it cost
hat much to buy a tire for a Ford
and it does seem that the
ducation Of the children is Of more
Importance than a tire for Ford.
A representative from the Women's s
eagpe was introduced who presented
le cause of Woman Suffrage.
The day of this kind is very helpful |
nd should be made an annual event. /

HIGH COST OF LIVING DOUBLED

Considerable resentment and amaze
ment at the attitude OF the President
in urging the House of Representa-
tives not to take a recess in order that
il might consider the problem of the
high cost Of living has been manifest
ed in Congress.
This is due to the fact that the House
had planned the recess in order that
1t might thereby actually expedite the
public business and really help find
a solution Of the question OF living
costs. While the House itself would
not have been in session the commit
tees having in charge the the reorgani-
zation Of the railroad systems, the re-
vision of the revenues, labor dues-
tions, and investigation of govern
mental extravaganza and waste had
planned to do their work uninterrupt-
ed by the sessions Of the House so
that when that body met again they
would have legislative solutions 10
present. The Presidents request was
acceded to because he said that he
would have legislation to recommend.
but the House has been compelled to
devote itself to its committee work
with fundamentally important hear
ings and has therefore not been pre-
pared for the remedies 1t has been
working on.
The feeling against the President |
is also due to the fact that he was
elected in 1912 on a platform of reduc- /
ing the cost of living. He pointed ont \
with great effect that in 1896 when
the Democrats were still in power the
cost OF living as represented by fifteen \
articles purchased by the average
housewife was $S.2S, that in 1912 when
President Taft was still in power the
-otal Of this list had mounted to 1883,
and that therefore it was necessary
hat he be elected in order that the
sest e living night 1t &c &c reduced tti tt
where it had been in the first instance.
The same articles now, however.
AMOUNT to $3Q87. In other words.
Turing the six years Of his incumbencv
President. Wilson has done nothing
whatever to reduce the cost Of living
md, instead, has seen it double with
n that time, and yet now tells the
House that 1t should not take recess
0 enable it to complete its committee
york in order that the cost of living
ereduced by it. This, too, in spite of
ne ract that he has been for several
lonths in Europe participating in !
pen covenants openly arrived at to
lake the world safe for democracy in
hat he has termed an International
SIN above and beyond mere Ameri-
anism. Members of Congress point
ut that he has had ample war and
ther powers to proceed against prof
eering and to otherwise reduce the
rices without waiting until now.

KENT COUNTY LEVY COURT
HAS ANOTHER SESSION

Kent County's Levy Court, in ad-
iourned session last week heard
la renort of the cnmmitfaa Of that hndv
Messrs. Woodruff, Waldeman and
Ford, from Governor Townsend as to
the request made by the Levy Court
last week for an opinion on the new
school code by the courts before its
adoption by the Kent Count Levy
Court
The reply of the governor in sub
stance was that in view of the fact
that several opinions had been given
by prominent attorneys as to the val
idity of the code and there has been
no adverse opinion that he could
hardly see the necessity in asking an
opinion from the court under the cir
cumstances. He asked the members
of the committee to place themselves
in his position in the matter.
Before the court, members Of the
court explained their positional opin-
ions relative to the code, letting it be
understood that they wanted to know,
what was right in the matter and
wanted to do what was right, but when
a vast majority of the taxpayers of
the respective districts were in oppo-
sition to the code and so instructed
them, they, the commissioners, could
do nothing else than to seek all the
legal advice possible before accepting
or rejecting the code
The court finally decided to ask
Attorney-General David J. Reinhardt
for written opinion as to the con
Of the new school code
and adjourned until August 26. at
which time it is hoped to receive his I
