TorMen Who Shave >Daily~
Special Preporotion Soofhes Skin, Saves Time
Needs No Brush

For men who must shave every day doctors, lawyers, businessmen and others Glider is invaluable. It is special cream for daily shaw CTS. It is neither sticky nor greasy.
 To use Glider, first wash your face with hot water and soap to remove grit and oily sebum that collect on whiskers every A hours. Then spread on Glider quickly and easily with your fingers. Never a brush.
 Glider lnsfunfly smoofhs down the flaky top layer of your skin. It enables the razor's sharp edge to glide over your skin, cutting your whiskers close and clean wifhovf seropins or irrifofing your skin. Glider eliminates much of the irritation that frequent shaving may have for the tender face, and leaves your skin smoother, cleaner.
 Glider is made by the 10O-year- old J. B. Williams Company. Try itl

LARGER SALE OF
BONDS URGED
Kent County War Bond Quota
For June 15 Percent Higher
Than May Sale
COUNTY QUOTAS

A 21 per cent increase in the pur-
chase of E. F. and G war bonds
this month over the sales of last
month will put Delaware among
the states that will help the nation
meet its 1942-43 fiscal year war
loan quota. This was announced
by officials of the Delaware War
Saving Staff which also made pub
lie the goals for each county. The
June quota for the entire state is
So, 100000 from E, F and G bonds,
and it is hoped the bulk of the
quota will be raised in the familiar
E bonds. The percentage increases
by counties over the May sales fol-.
low: Kent, Is per cent; New Castle,
% per cent; Sussex, 10 per cent.
The state war savings office has an
nounced the record for May sales:
E bonds, S2,236, 1888; F and G bonds,
$500, ,S51; total, S3,046,2 1t will
be motel, officials said, that the E
bond sales last month were higher
than the actua goal for June. This
is due to the hold-over from the
Second War Loan drive that was
held during April.

are urged to do so Immediately"

BENEFIT PAYMENT ALLOWED
Farmers Unable to Plant 80 Per-
cent of War Crop Goals

Full benefit payments will be al
lowed by the Agriculture Adjust
ment Agency to Delaware Farmers
who were unable to plant 80 per-
cent or more of their warcrop goals
because of floods and the cold, wet
sprnig, Clarence E. Ocheltree,
Chairman of the Delaware Agricul-
tural Conservation Committee, said
today. Under the 1943 AAA pro-
gram the farmer adopted war-crop
production goals for his farm and
his benefit payments were contin-
gent on his planting at least nine
ty-percent of the total of his goals
This modification of the program
was urged by the War Food Ad-
ministration to encourage farmers
to plant late crops on acreage
where abnormal rains interfered
with their war crop planting.
