TO War LIBRARY FUND

Although the campaign for funds for

Saturday, October 6, several checks
have been received at the Free Library
since that date The total amount
raised by Delaware for camp Libraries
was Si2.s6S, part OF which came from
down the state. BY far the largest
part, however, was subscribed by those
who either live in Wilmington or have
their business here.
The members Of the library board OF
managers, who were keenly interested
in the project, desiring TO raise Della
wares quota without personal solicita-
tion. placed advertisements in the
daily papers and sent circulars to Sc
lected list Of those who had contributed
literally to the Red Cross fund. As a
result OF this, nearly two thousand
dollars were contributed. This was far
below the amount needed, and at this
iuncture the matter was taken up by
prominent oflcials Of the dupont COM
pany and SiO,300 additional was raised.
