will be placed directly in the

other beneficiary. This duty will

which are not afforded the militia

Such articles as chocolate and
hard candies, instanteous coffee,
canned fruit, comfort bags, soap,
tobacco, cigars and cigarettes,
pipes, stockings, towels, ETC., will
be appreciated by the committee.
These articles may be dropped in
the two containers or they may be
sent to Mrs. H. Fletcher Brown,
at No. 808 Franklin street.
Word has been received from
Washington that the Secretary of
War has approved of the work of
the Military Relief Committees in
the various states and that all
shipments to the soldiers from
this source will be at public ex-
pense.

In nearly all cases a personal
visit was made by representatives
of the company to the home of
each family or dependent. The
payments decided upon, in every
instance, have been based on
actual needs thus ascertained.
The inquiry showed that about
800 of the Pennsylvania Railroad
men under arms have families or
other dependents who will require
relief during the absence of the
employees from their regular
work. The needs of all of these
are being met.
In addition, the Railroad is pay
ing the dues of every member of
the Voluntary Relief Fund who is
at the Front, thus fully protecting
his disablement and death bene-
fits in his absence.
Several men, whose families
will receive relief, had been on
the payroll of the Pennsylvania
Railroad less than a week when
their regiments were ordered to
Mt. Gretna. One man had worked
only three days for the railroad.
In a number of other cases the
length of service was less than a
month. In many instances, also,
the employees were not members
of the National Guard, but volun-
tarily enlisted after the call of
the president.
The railroad is making no dis
tinction, in such cases, between
any of it's employees, but is giving
relief wherever needed, no matter
how short the period of employ

The Military Relief Committee
of the Delaware Chapter of the
Red Cross Society has opened
headquarters in a tent on the
Court House lawn, Wilmington.
The tent was erected by the State
Military authorities as recruit
ing office but since the work OF
the Military Committee is for the
comfort of the soldiers, Adjutant
General I. P. Wickersham felt
that any assistance he might give
the committee would help show
the appreciation Of the men on
the border.
Two large boxes were placed
outside of the tent on Monday, in
which the public may place con-
tributed articles intended for the
soldiers. One box is for maya
zines and books, while the other

for this purpose.
To insure the proper distribu-
ton of the relief money, an indi-
vidual inquiry was made in the
case of every one of the more than
800 employees of the Pennsylvania
Railroad who are now at the
Front. This inquiry was conduct
ed under the direction of the var
ious Division superintendent.

CHANCE FOR THE
FARMERS BOY
Dupont Company Offers
Prizes

The dupont Company has just
announced something entirely
new in the agricultural line, that
is a land reclamation contest.
Many farmers are too busy with
their present fertile land to both
err with the waste acres, hence
this contest is surely the boy of
the farms opportunity.
The idea of the contest is for
the farmer to look over his farm
and pick out the bad spots, then
turn one acre of it over to his
son, or another interested boy,
and let him improve it..
The main points of the contest
are, to clear the land, improve the
soil and then raise crop. No
special crop is specified, the only
restrictions in the contest being
that the work on the one acre
must be planned and done or sup
ervised by the boy himself.
The country has been divided
into five sections: the North At
lantic States, the South Atlantic
States, the North Central States,
the South Central States, and the
Western States. The first division
includes Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island. Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware. Maryland, Ohio, Virginia,
and West Virginia. The prizes
offered in this division are, first,
$50; second, $50; third, $40.
Besides these prizes the COM
pany will present each contestant
receiving honorable mention, with
a one years paid subscription to
any farm paper published in the
United States-the contestant to
choose the paper.
The following conditions gov
ern the contest:
The du Pont Land Reclamation
Contest for Boys will start official
" at once. All entries must be
received not later than January l,
1917.
The contest will close December
/, 1917, and all reports must be in
the hands of the du Pont Agricult-
ural Division, Wilmington, Della
ware, before December l, 1917.
Each entry blank provides for
the official entry Of only one CD
acre (43,560 square feet) OF
ground. If a great number OF
acres are entered by any one con-
testant a separate entry slip for
each acre so entered must be sent
in.
Reports and records of each
acre entered by contestant vii
be required. Special blanks are
provided for this purpose and will
be sent upon receipt of entry
blank.
In returning report blank fol
final award each report must b'
verified by the county agriculture
agent or two neighboring farm
ers, not relatives.
