September 19-Shelter Island was up bright and early today to, bid farewell to the first drafted man to leave the island. The man was Fred Zabel, the son of an aged shoemaker here.

He was called to report at Yaphank today, and the citizens of the island made his departure the occasion for a civic parade and demonstration. Commodore Arthur H. Jones of the Shelter Island Yacht Club and Dr. Warren Beale were the marshals of the parade. They were followed by the Prospect House Drum Corps, the Camp Fire Girls, the Red Cross organization with which a large number of Brooklyn residents who summer here marched, the Shelter Island Home Guard in uniform, and a delegation of citizens.

Town Supervisor Charles IT. Smith in 'his automobile came after the pedestrians. In the supervisor's car was Zabel, the honor man of Shelter Island's draft contingent. The car was decorated with flags, and some fifty more machines followed it. As the procession of 500 people passed across the island, church and fire bells were rung, and as the ferry boat carried Zabel away from the pier, a salute in his honor was fired by the cannon of the yacht club and the members of the Home Guard.

Before he left island Zabel was presented with a purse raised by the Brooklyn summer colonists. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. September 19- All the villages in the Third District of Suffolk gave the fifty -four conscripts leaving for Camp Upton this morning a tremendously enthusiastic sendoff. Last night there were dinner parties and public demonstrations galore. This morning it all commenced over again when nearly all residents of all the villages having a conscript in the lot met at some central place and with tears and cheers wished the boys godspeed.

Then followed autoof conscripts was escorted to this mobile a parades to Riverhead. One set place by fifty decorated automobiles. The scene in the vicinity of the Court House was a moving one. Today again the Exemption Board escorted the fifty-four conscripts to the camp. When the line got under way, headed by County Clerk James F.

Richardson in his car, it numbered more than one hundred decorated and noisy automobiles. There were no vacant rooms in Riverhead last night that could be rented at any price, so the board got permission to have the men report this morning for transmission, to the camp by auto instead of by train. The six men from Riverhead were presented with sweaters by the Red Cross just before starting. The speech of presentation was made by Colonel Walter F. Barnes.

DAVIS MELODRAMA IS REAL OLD TIMER Owen Davis would never be he wasn't worrying over a scrap of if happy paper. From the time the first mortgage on the old farm was drawn up. and the first indiscreet note was penned by a sorrowful heroine to the soft music of Mendelssohn's "Spring Song." drama has been full of "them papers." They played an important part in the life of Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model-heaven rest her troubled soul! And now we find Mr. Davis digging them up again from the graveyard of dead plays and making them the papier de resistance of "The Scrap of Paper," a howling melodrama of the old school, that is now playing at the Criterion Theater. Out on Long Island Massapequa Lodge No.

822, F. and A. of Rockville Centre, has an honor roll of 35 names of members and sons of members who are in the of the Government in one capacity or another. That is indeed a record of which the lodge may be proud, but one which many Long Island fraternal organizations are emulating. At the opening of the scallop season last week the price was quoted at $2 a gallon.

Later it went up to $2.25. And at that the writer knows of one Suffolk County hostelry at which supper guests were asked to have a second helping scallops. Needless to say the invitation was promptly accepted. It seems only a few years ago that Mr. and Mrs.

Hal B. Fullerton were married, yet the er.gagement of their eldest daughter, Miss Hope Fullerton, to Corporal Arthur B. Tuttle, U. S. of Eastport is announced.

The Outon-Long-Island man, long a friend of the parents of the bride-to-be, offers hearty congratulations to the young people, with every good wish for. their future. A friend at Amityville writes: "I am reading in The Eagle and all of the several New York papers continually requests to economize on gasoline expense and be patriotic and to deprive ourselves of a thousand and one things. I am sure that the Government does not understand how galling it is for us to read these daily officers requests and to see what we daily see, and privates in uniform racing in high-powered automobiles at from 50 to 75 miles an hour through our villages, ignoring every law of safety and common decency. Such wasteful extravagance as this is very trying to those of us who are trying to be patriotic and serve our country and who have to pay the bills.

There is a story going about the village as to the drunken condition of one of the officers and his abusive remarks to one of our village police. "It seems to me that if the newspapers would take up this side of the question occasionally they might have a great deal of influence with the ers that be and relieve us of this dangerous condition and exhibition of incompetency on the part of those at the head of our military affairs. Is it not possible for The Eagle to do something for us?" It would seem that our Amityville friend has not adjusted himself to war-time conditions. It is beyond a doubt imperatively necessary that the general public practice economy in every way, including the use of gasoline. Of course officers and privates should not drive recklessly, a but their use of high-powered cars, driven at fast speed, probably is essential to the proper handling of the duties assigned them.

If the Amityville policeman knows the officer in question was drunk and abusive. he should report him to his superior. There is no excuse for any wearer of khaki failing to be a gentleman at all times, and it is most improbable that the acts complained of would be countenanced, if substantiated. But our friend must remember the U. S.

is at war and conditions are not normal, To be requested to be patriotic and practice selfdenia! should not be galling. It 18 a plain duty, and must be met. OFFICERS LEASE HOMES Many dwellings at Bellport, L. have been leased, furnished, recently by National Army officers stationed a at Camp Upton, about four miles from the Village of Bellport. George H.

Weidner, a real estate broker of the section, closed the following rentals in the vicinity: Captain Roger D. Lapham, son of the president of a Texas oil company, the Jordan restdence in Bellport avenue. Captain William T. Foss, Weidner's, in Main street; Lieutenant Alan McDougall, the Hamel house, in Howell's Point road; Captain Walter D. Dreyfus, the Tibbs house; Lieutenant Melville E.

Scallo, the Osborne house; Lieutenant George Brett, the Roe house, and to Lieutenant Roger Bryan, the Roger house, all in the South Country and to Captain James Mulford Townsend the Jordan house, in Osborne avenue, and the Wagner and Leonard cottage, in Beaver Dam road, Brookhaven, to Captain Dietz. FIGHT OVER $200 ESTATE (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. September 19-A fight was started yesterday in the Surrogate's Court here over an estate the petition for the probate of which declares is worth only $200. The will is that of John B.

McClone of Deer Park. It gives Marie Lamb of Deer Park, a daughter, "for reasons best known to her and my family," the will says; gives Thomas McGlone, a son, $100; John McGlone, son, some lots in Lindenhurst: Mary McGlone, wife of Thomas, $50, and the residue to Theresa McGlone, daughter. The contestant is Marie Lamb. Her attorney, Hector A. Robichon, brings the contest on statutory grounds.

PLEA FOR MITCHEL FLOODS FLATBUSH Fifteen thousand circulars, urging support for Mayor Mitchel, Borough President Pounds and all the other Fusion candidates were sent out to enrolled Republicans of the Flatbush district by the local Republican organization, headed by F. J. H. Kracke. The letter said in part: "Successful and efficient administration of municipal affairs requires party men to support the Fusion cause.

Now, as in 1913, Republicans co-operate with Independents to create Fusion as the most effective weapon against Tammany. In this selection they have had the advantage of the experience of the last four years of Fusion administyation under Mayor Mitchel. Tammany's return to power means the end of good, efficient and honest government. Experience shows as a matter of history that Tammany Hall has never been defeated in Greater New York in a municipal election except in those instances in which the anti-Tammany forces have united irrespective of party affiliation. It is important to note in this respect that the enrollment of the Democratic party for the year 1916, in Greater New York, was in round figures 384,000 as against the Republican enrollment of 250.000, making a Democratic majority of over 130.000.

"The principle elections of nonin municipal has been the policy of the Republican party in New York State. The Constitutional Convention of 1894, in which the Republican party was in the majority, in its address to the people advocated this course. The platform of the Republican party of the State of New York adopted on the 23rd day of September, 1913, indorsed Fusion in municipal elections." HOW GREATER CROPS CAMPAIGN ON L. I. BENEFITS CONSUMER In Spite of Army Camps' Demand, Potatoes Sell at $1.75 a Bushel.

"STORAGE AIDS PUBLIC" (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. September 19-The claim is now being made in the farming sections in Eastern Suffolk that the public- the consumer-has been greatly benefited, both directly and indirectly, by the "plant more" agitation, and especially through the good work and good advice of the Long Island Food Reserve "Greater Crops" Battalioniy a popular slogan, apparently, but it seems to have had its decidedly practical advantages to both producer and consumer, and especially to the latter. It is the habit of a majority of country people to "lay in" their winter's supply of potatoes. Some families of three buy as many as 16 or 18 bushels, and put them in their own basements. Last year very few people stored their supply for prices less than $1.50 per bushel, and many paid more.

This year the battalion said, "Raise your own," and scores of small families did 80. Those who didn't raise their own have heeded the high-prices lesson taught last year, coupled with advice to buy and store as early as possible, and have already bought their winter's supply for $1 or $1.10 per bushel. This is being given as a direct, practical benefit to the consumer, a benefit supplied through public agitation. The price on the retail market is not greatly different than last year. It is fixed daily by the wholesale price, and both fluctuate daily.

The difference to the public on the retail market is about 50 cents per bushel above the wholesale price. For instance, if the wholesale price is $1.25, as now, the retail price to the person who buys a peck at a time is at the rate of about $1.75 per bushel. The Farmer's Viewpoint. The indirect benefit to the public from the "plant more" agitation is up this way by many farmers interviewed: heeded the call to plant more. We felt it our duty to the country to do our utmost.

Having done so, and having produced a big crop of potatoes, the fact remains that prices are going to be comparatively cheaper than they would have been if we hadn't planted a bigger acreage. We admit that at present we are getting a slightly better price than we did year ago. That is beneficial to us, and seemingly detrimental to the conduced CT more than last year, with sumer. But supposing we had prothe tremendously increased number of people to feed in this section because of the army camps and the other mobilizations of men, all drawing heavily from the supply usually devoted to Brooklyn and Long Island, the price for this year would have been sent up much higher than last year. So that, we claim, is an indirect benefit, at least, to the consumer." Many producers are heeding the quests made by the Government to store some of their potatoes.

It is claimed that this will help to maintain a more equitable price to both producer and consumer. Additional storage cellars have been provided by some farmers, and some who have never are planning to do so. Chauncey H. Young of Riverhead has built on his farm since last season a building in which he can store 20,000 bushels if he wants to. "Suppose all of Suffolk's 3,000,000 bushels were dumped on the market within a reasonably short time," say some farmers, "what would happen? The market would be glutted, the price would fall, thousands of bushels would rot because they could not be disposed of.

People who have no local storage room for more than a bushel or two could get them cheap for a few weeks, but what would they do when the entire crop had been disposed of? The price would advance out of all proportion to what it will be if the farmers store potatoes and keep the shipments moving evenly." Last year, at a little later date than this, potatoes were moving from Riverhead alone at the rate of about 225,000 bushels a week. The price dropped to 90 cents a bushel, with a proportionate drop to the consumer. The consumer got cheap potatoes for a few weeks, Shortly the bulk of potatoes here were "cleaned and the price commenced to soar, With' the result that the farmers got a tremendous price for the few remaining potatoes and the consumer paid proportionately, So far this year not more than 225,000 bushels a week are being moved from the entire potato belt on this side of the Island, and the price has remained fairly stationary, at not more than 25 cents a bushel above the price for a corresponding date last year. SHORT CUT TO YAPHANK. Oyster Bay Ferry Will Be Continued in Service.

Oyster Bay, L. September 19- The management of the GreenwichOyster Bay Ferry line has decided to keep the ferry in active service throughout the winter instead of discontinuing the line on November 11, according to original plans.

"BOYS WILL WIN THIS WAR." Enough Amusements in the Army to Keep Any Good Soldier From Going Wrong. "There is nothing sad about becoming a member of the Army of the United States nowadays, and if there happens to be an undertaker outside the door or he had better drive said the Rev. Dr. Nehemiah Boynton, pastor of the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church of Brooklyn, in his address last night at a dinner given in honor of the "boys" from Flushing who have enlisted. The dinner WILLS held in the Good Citizenship League building a and besides those who have been called to help make up the new National Army and those who have volunteered and are still at home, members of Grand Army of the Republic and the clergymen of the village were present.

Following the dinner there was a I parade through the principal streets of the village, in which the members of the various Home Defense Leagues, Boy Scouts, members of the Red Cross and prominent citizens of the town took part. After the parade there was a block party on Broadway, near the public park. George J. Ryan of Flushing, president of the Queens Borough Chamber of Commerce, was toastmaster, and at the guest table with him were the Rev. Dr.

Boynton, Dr. J. S. Thomas, William T. Yale of Exemption Board No.

Donnolly offered grace and the Rev. Thomas H. Mackenzie pronounced benediction. During the evening Mrs. W.

W. Knowles gave a musical recital of "The Star-Spangled Banner." The Rev. Dr. Boynton, who is chaplain of the Thirteenth Regiment, told the "boys" some plain facts about Army life. "It was just A crowd of boys that won the Civil 1 War," he said, "and you boys are going to win this war.

The call has come, it is up to you young men to rise if you have any stuff in you and fight for your He ridiculed the idea that the soldiers have too many temptations, and explained how it would be impossible for them to go wrong if they were good soldiers. "There are enough amusements to keep you busy, he said. "If you are looking for poker, you can find It; if you are looking for other little games you can find them. If your character is white, pure and strong it will grow stronger in the Army, and if it is not it's a pretty good place to clean upand if you don't you will find yourself in the guard house. "I want to say here, however, that never before in the history of this or any other country was an army raised that had so many good, clean men in it as the Army We have today, You all have something to offer your country and if you are clean you can make a good soldier, but if you are not clean you are out of the question."
