Practically No Demand For Eithet
Sweet Or White Potatoes In The
City Markets.

Potato buyers and farmers are
complaining terribly on account of
the bad conditions of the potato mar

he had shot and killed Wehman an
parently for the purpose of robbery.
Wehman was looked upon in Union
City, his home, as a miser. His dead
body was found several days after
the murder, hidden in an old well.
It now develops that a laborer at
Tampa, Fla, giving his name as Sc
mones, confessed in the presence of
three substantial witnesses that he,
Semones, committed the murder and
that Dietzel was innocent. He
claimed that he and Wehman had
fallen out over $500. Three days
later Semones disappeared and has
never been heard of since. One of
the three witnesses was formerly
mayor of Mckenzie, Tenn, and was
at one time member of the state
democratic executive committee.
These facts were obtained by DR..
F. M. McRee, of Union City, for
mer commissioner of agriculture,
while he was visiting in Tampa.
Another circumstance that tends
to increase the doubt as to the guilt
of Dietzel, is the fact that DR.. Clos

mel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn't start your liver and straigh-

you sick, you just go back and get
your money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;

Many of the good automobiles
are more valuable when broken up
than they are as ears in running or

horsehair, a commodity which stands
at a prohibit:ve figure just now. The
magnetic of four or six-cylinder

there are lamps, switches, dashboard

Clogged Radiator Cells

The spaces between cells of radi-
ator should be kept free from mud
and dirt, or overheating of the en-
CINE may result. When cleaning the
radiator, direct a stream of water
from hose through the cells from
the inside toward the front; never
the opposite way. Water forced
through the front of the car may
temporarily prevent the ignition sys-
tenn from functioning by soaking the
wires, causing short circuit.

In hopes of having the largest turn

mittee of the University of Delaware
Alumni has named the Hotel dupont
Wilmington, as the scene of the next
annual banquet, February 25, 1922.
These affairs are generally held in

attendance has fallen off considerably
and the. committee is of the opinion
that Wilmington will be more acces-
sible to the members. With this in

understood that some surprises are in
