Postal receipts at the PendIeton post
office for the quarter which ended
March 81 were s12,53f06, which is a
decrease on the receipts for the Sim

were $13.743.51.
This is explained by the local post

that the political campaign was at
its height last year at this time and

DELAWARE FARMERS ARE NOT
HIT BY COLD STORAGE LAW

Senator Wolcott has received a let
ter from Attorney Palmer
which clearly indicates that Delaware
farmers who have been fearful that
under the Cold Storage law they would
either be forced to decrease their pro-
duction OF sweet potatoes or sell them
at a loss. have no grounds for their
apprehensions. The Encouragement,
who framed the law. said there was
no intention on the part of Congress
to prevent reasonable amount Of
storage
Storage is one thing but boarding
an entirely different thing the attOr-
ney-general intimates. He will recon-
mend that any clause OF the law which
may be obscure or appear to discour-
age potato growers, be clarified so
that all ground for misunderstanding
will be removed.
Many citizens, OF Delaware have
written to Senator Wolcott, saying
that if they were forced to dispose OF
their present holdings it would be at
I great sacrifice. The Senator, be-
I fore submitting the matter to Attor-
ney-General Palmer, was concerned
! lest the fears of the writer's might be
to some extent justified, and he busted
( himself Immediately in their interests
/ The Senator pointed out that there
/ was vast difference between boarded
I food and reserved food.
ANY scheme for keeping needed
food from the table should be ener
getically suppressed" said Senator
Wolcott. But It is perfectly proper
Ito conserve provisions against the tint
when they are not produced"
In his communication to Senator
Wolcott Attorney General Palmer said
There seems to have been a wronl
impression gathered by certain inter
ests as TO the attitude of the depart
men in reference to storage Of certain
commodities. At no time has the De
partment OF Justice shown a disposi

tt Is an easy matter 10 Overfeed

MAY PLACE FAMILIES ON
SUGAR RATIONS FOR TINE

The Every Evening of Wilmington
said last Monday that il the supply Of
sugar in Wilmington is not increased
at once. and according to retailers
and jObbers there is very little pros
pect of that, a wartime rationing will
be next in order. If rationing is re-
sorted TO it is probable that at first
il will be a pound to each person, and
If that does not take care of the situa-
tiOn, families will be limited to two
pounds per week. That is the talk
among those who are familiar with
conditions.
Restaurants of the city find it i'm
possible to obtain supplies here or in
Philadelphia, and while some of them
have a limited supply on hand, others
are about out and they have begun
limiting the amount served. some of
them resorting to the envelope method.
One OF the leading restaurants was
forced to use brown sugar for a while
last week.
Wholesalers are still in the dark as
to what will be done about the short
age. Most Of them are out. In fact
it may be that all Of them are without
supplies today, and they do not know
when they will receive any more.
The Sugar Equalization Board has
issued instructions, effective October
Is, directing refners and others not
to ship or deliver any sugar to any
point west Of Pittsburgh and Buffalo
and north and west of the Ohio river
That is for the purpose Of enabling the
seaboard refineries to take care Of the
situation in this territory. The west
will have to look to the beet fields
for its sugar, refineries in that. sec
tion having started operations, and
the south will have to look to the cane
fields Of Louisiana.

CARE IN PLANNING EARTH ROADS

In view of the present widespread
activity in every form OF road DulId-
ing and since nearly all public roads
are laid out originally as earth roads,
fine Bureau of Public Roads Of the
United States Department OF Agrlcul-
ture emphasizes the bearing lhat the
location and design Of dirt roads nave
on future highway Improvement IN
locating and designing public roads
the following considerations should be
borne in mind;
Sharp curves should be avoided be-
cause they are a menace to rtatilc.
The width should be ample for We
hicles to pass each other without leaV-
ing the Travelled way.
II a road ever becomes of any con-
siderable importance, its users prob
ably will demand that all the sleeper
grades be reduced TO the lowest max
imum that would conform to the gen
eral topography of the region which
the road trayerses-
Let the road planners remember
that aside from the advantages to
traffic of a short route, each mile OF
additional road involves a considerable
extra yearly expense IOr maintenance
and this alone may warrant the extra
expense of shortening the route when
the road is constructed. provided that
the decrease in distance does not ma
terially increase the steepness of the
grades
Land lines should be regarded only
in so far as this may be done without
decreasing the usefulness Of the road
or increasing its ultimate cost.
The pleasing features of the route
should not be overlooked. Remember
that a large part of the travel on mos
country roads is for pleasure.
Avoid the necessity fGf s;;i;SssfiGSii
changes in location. Such changes
nearly always work hardship on somt
of those who have built homes along
