U S. SHEPARD
 AT PORTSMOUTH
 IS DISPOSED OF

The first sale of a government ship yard built to meet the war emer- gency has been made by the U. S. Shipping Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation. The Supply and Sales Division announces the sale of the L. H. Shattuck Company's shipyard near Portsmouth, N. H. The pur- chaser is the Atlantic Dye Stuffs Co., and it will use the site for the erec- ton of a peremanent plant for the manufacture of dyestuffs. Thus property used by the government to meet German competition on the seas has been turned over to an Am erican industry to meet German competition in a field that belonged to her exclusively before the war, but which has been appropriated by the United States since the war ne- cessity first developed it here.
 The Shattuck yard comprises twelve shfpways, which were built for the construction of $500 ton wooden ships. It has a total acreage of 6S.9 acres, of which 35.9 were owned by the Fleet Corporation and included in this sale. The yard has a waterfront of about 2,000 feet along the Piscataqua river, four and a half miles upstream from Portsmouth N H.

WAR VETERAN
 ADVISES BOOT TOE FOR REDS

At the United Forum last night Captain Arthur Hunt Chute, of the famous First Canadian Division. told his listeners How to deal with the Reds The president of the meeting was Major Frederick Adams, com mander of the local post of the American Legion.
 'tWhen you refer to the Reds I assume you mean that kind of Red with a streak of yellow down his back" said the young officer when he was asked how he would deal with them.
 1"The only way I'd deal with them is with the toe of my boot, or my clenched fst-because that's the only way that appeals to me-" he said.
 That may sound unreasonable, but that sort of individual under stands only that kind of logic Kaiser William was never convinced he was in the wrong until he felt the toe of Uncle Sa1n's foot. The Red understands that same kind of argu- ment"
