NEW YORK SUFFRAGISTS HELPING TO SAVE F&uC. New York, N. Y . Aug. 26—( Special to Daily Democrat)—Mrs. James Leea Laidlaw, vice chairman of the New York State Wpman’s Suffrage party, today began sending copies of the canning and drying manuals of the National Emergency Food Garden Commission of Washington to every assembly district loader in the state as part of the organization’s co-operation In helping to conserve the food of the country. These manuals are being sent out by the thousands to women throughout the country. Any woman can have them hy sending to (he commission at 210 Maryland Building. Washington, a two cent stamp to pay postage. In a letter to Secretary Ridsale. Mrs. Laidlaw writes: “Thank you for your generous co-operation. I will see that our various assembly district leaders receive copies in addition to those you have sent our campaign district chairman." — o- —• WAR MARS NEW YORK HARBOR EXCURSIONS. (United Press Service* New York. Aug. 21—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The war has put pep into harbor excursions. No longer does the small motor launch, the cat-boat or house-boat wend its way down the harbor unchallenged and unmolested One really appre ciates the fact that America is “’in" after a water jaunt. Every craft, large or small, is held up hy the government patrol boats and asked for an account of itself. Os course the large steamers ar easily discernible and therefor not stopped. But woe betide the private yacht or craft of any description that attempts to get by. It may cruise along for miles, its occupants smiling at the thought of putting one over on Uncle Sam At this juncture a business-like little patrol boat is liable to come alongside. A murderous looking mounted gun may be seen and from the boat a stentorian voice directs that the craft put back and report to the mother ship. And the craft that tried to run the gauntlet goes back. Another stern reminder that the United States nieans business is the buoys marking the position of the great steel chain extending across the harbor. The chain is designed to take care of any U-boats that come this way. The harbor is an unhealthy place for a becalmed sailboat. ’Twould be decidely unhealthy, the authorities will tell you, to allow your boat to bump into any stray floating object. Mines are no respectors of ships. “War’s.a nuisance,” is the way one fair sailor expressed it o MR. BABCOCK MAKES STATEMENT. Melvin Babcock, of near Monroe, who was slightly injured Wednesday night when his Ford collided with an I Auburn driven by John Lobsinger, also of near Monroe, called at this office Saturday afternoon and asked ns to state his side of the story. He says that the statement that Mr. Lobsing er pulled over to his side was wrong, but that the latter was ready to turn and when he saw the Babcock car. shot straight ahead. Babcock says his car was cnly turned half around and that he was not driving to exceed twenty miles an hour and did not see the Lobsinger car until he war nearly upon him. John Whicker who was with Babcock had three or four ribs ’ broken and is still in bed and quite sick as a result. Babcock says his car struck the Auburn engine and not the side of the car. CHEAPER ICE IN SIGHT. (United Press Sen-ice) Chicago, 111., Aug. 27 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Cheaper ice for the nation was in sight today. Representatives of companies virtually controlling the ice industry of the country were in session here today to adjust prices and supply, in accordance with plans of Herbert Hoover's department. The necessity of ice as a preserver and hence a saver . of food, is to be emphasized in a na- ' tion-wide publicity campaign, it was sttated. “To be successful in our < undertaking we must sell ice to the poeple at a price that will make it t a real economy,” declared David A. Brown, of Detroit, one of the responsible men for todays meeting. “The cost of the housewife must be less than the value of the food she waste without ice.” CHINESE OFFERINGS SWIPED. (United Press Service) < New York, N. Y„ Aug. 27—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Seven ' roast pigs, roast ducks, boiled chickens, wine and the rest of what Is generally known as “trimmin’ ” are : | gone today from the cemeteries ta- , vored of the New York Chinese, but ' i the Chinese care not.
