for supporting work for social i'm
prOvement, either by taxation Of
through voluntary contributions. The
situation constitutes at once an op-
portunity and a responsibility.
The presence of undesirable sOcis
conditions in Delaware is believed d
be due less to indifference on the par
Of the public than to lack of defnitf
knowledge as to the seriousness of ex
! isting evils, the extent to which these
evils may be remedied, and the meanf
/ best suited to the accomplishment q
this purpose.
Wishing to assist, to the best Of on (
ability, in the establishment Of con
ditions essential to the wellLbeing anO.
happiness of the citizens Of Delaware,
the undersigned have united in body
to be known as the Service Citizens
of Delaware. The purpose Of the
society is to work for the improve
ment of the social conditions in Del
aware. In seeking to accomplish
this purpose the society purposes: '
A. To obtain, through properly
qualified agents, such exact know
ledge as to existing conditions as
may be necessary as a basis for re-
medal action.
B. To urge and promote the adop-
ton of measures for improvement
which are shown to be desirable as
the result of our own inquiries, or BY
the experience and studies Of other
persons and organizations in Della
ware and elsewhere.
c. To bring conditions and reme-
dies to the attention of the citizens
of the State by means Of addresses,
reports, newspaper articles, and 9TH
er suitable instruments of publicity.
D. To make, where feasible, dem
onstrations of improved methods Of
controlling conditions prejudicial to
to social welfare in Delaware.
3. To promote full and cordial CO.
operation among organizations and
agencies, public and private, engaged
in work for the promotion Of social
welfare in Delaware.
F. To apply such other proper
measures as will, in the opinion Of its
members, contribute to the fuIfillment
Of the purpose for which the society
Is established.
The activities of the society will
extend throughout the State of Della
ware. The society does not propose
to engage in work that
can best be done by the state, coun-
les, or other municipal organizations,
or by existing social agencies, but
'ather to acquaint the public with
he situation which exists and with
he means available for its amelior-
ltion, and to urge prompt and effect
We remedial action by the whole body
If citizens.

Primarily because you were with me
and the church work was going so
nicely. But while at Harrison l was
dissatisfied with the place, and also
so very busy and worried so much,
that l was hardly my real self and
was not half as contented or appre-
ciative as l might have been. But l
love you just the same, and would
still be with you, but felt this call to
come to France, if possible. If it is
the Lords will that l will return safe
ly, l shall hope to again have you with
me. l have often thought that in our
home, as children, we never made a
very great demonstration of family
affection. Not any of us children are
what might be called affectiOnate by
nature, as we often find people, but
do believe that we thought as much
OF one another and of our parents as
most children, but only didn't make a
big show of it. But the fact that now
we all get along so well together and
stick to each other is the best evil
dence that our love is genuine. It is
the same with our love for you; ev-
cry one of us children would give
everything we have or do anything for
you. You could make your home
with any of US and we would be hap
py to have you with us for life. As
you know, l have had many opportun-
tiles to marry. but l have never de-
sired to have any other woman come
before you in my affections and con-
Germ.
Well. it is so dark that can't see
what l am writing, and we haven't
the lights connected up yet, so will
have to close. Also several have
just come into the hut and l must go
and get something for them. will
close now, but try to write again.
Your loving son,
PARIS.

This community was greatly shock
ed on Saturday to learn of the sudden
death Of John Anderson. He leaves
wife and daughter besides a number
of other relatives and friends. The
date Of his funeral services is un-
known at this writing.
Mrs. Mary Sapp of Harrington was
with Mr.. and Mrs. John Carson and
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Masten on Monday.
Mrs. Agnes Carson met with quite
an accident on Thursday evening,
and fractured several ribs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Sharp, Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl Reamus and Mr.. and Mrs.
James Salisbury and family spent
Sunday at Colchester and had a very
nice time.
The people in this vicinity are about
through threshing. Some got better
crops than expected, and others were
not so fortunate.
The crops are looking as good as
can be expected, as they need rain
very badly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Hill were the
guests Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Carson
on Sunday.

reached out and took the gun, turned It
over and hesitated. No telling what in
sane impulse fever might bring upon
him-and still-no telling what Buck
Olney might do when he discovered
that he was not in any immediate dan
ger of hanging.
Then he removed his boots by the
simple method Of sitting the legs with
Bucks knife, barred his broken leg in
the same manner, braced himself meD-
tally and physically, gritted his teeth
and went doggedly to work.
A man never knows just how much
he can endure or what he can do until
he is making his last stand in the fight
for self preservation. Ward had no
mind to lie there and die Of blood poi
soning, for instance, and broken bones
do not set themselves. So, sweating
and swearing with the agony OF it, he
set his leg and bound the splints in
place and thanked the Lord it was
straight, clean break and that the flesh
was not torn.
Then he dropped back upon the bed
and didn't care whether he lived or not.
Followed days OF fever, through which
Ward lived crafty and lost count Of the
hours as they passed. Days when he
needed good nursing and did not get

Red-blooded men Of courage are on
the firing line-and there are many
anemic, weak, discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes ''pimply" or pale skin.
BloodleSS people, thin, anemic pe0-
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips,
who have a poor appetite ana feel that
Ired, worn or feverish condition in the
springtime of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers of a good al
terative and blood purifier. Such one
Is extracted from Blood root, Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queens root and
Oregon Grape root, made up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use Of alcohol. This can be OBJ
tanned in ready-to-use tablet form in
Sixty-cent Walls, as druggists have sold
it for fifty years as Doctor Pierce'S
Golden Medical Discovery. It is
standard remedy that can be obtained
In tablet or liquid form.
A good purge should be taken once
a week even by persons who have a
movement daily, in order to eliminate
matter which may remain and cause

ing the whole system. To clean the
system at least once week is to prac-
tice health measures. There is nothing
so good for this purpose as tiny pills

all druggists in this country as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, sugar-coated.

like a fire warning on tree and his
own grass rope noosed about his neck
and connecting him with the cotton

Enntuna Kicks Anain.

Fortune Kicks Again.
TT was past noon when Ward rode
down the steep slope to the creek
bank just above his cabin. He was
sunk deep in that mental depression
which so often follows close upon the
heels Of a great outburst of passion.
Mechanically he twitched the reinS and
gent Rather down the last shelf OF bank
and he did not look up to see just
where he was. Rather was well train
ed horse, since he was Wards. He
obeyed the rein signal and stepped Off a
two foot bank into nest of loose piled
rocks that slid treacherously under his
feet. Sure footed, though he was, he
stumbled and fell, and it was sheer IN
stinct that took Wards feet from the
stirrups in time.
Ward sprawled among the rocks,
dazed. The shock of the fall took him
out Of his cit of abstraction and he
pulled away from Rather as the horse
scrambled up and stood shaking before
him. He tried to scramble up also.
Ward sat and stared stupidity at his
left leg where midway between his knee
and his foot, it turned out at an unnat-
ural angle He thought resentfully that
nc had had enough trouble for once
without having broken leg on top OF
it all.

Brave Buckaroo-I wonder If you ever
in your whole life got Christmas pres
emit? I've been cultivating the Louise Of
me, and here are the first fruits Of my
endeavOr-I guess that's the way they say
1t. I've spent so much time sitting by

Of reading all the time so nurse in this
Ward-mommie has room to herself, Of
course, but not special nurse, because
[ can do a lot Of the little things. Well,
the nurse taught me how to hemstitch.
So I got some silk and made some nice
soft observation-disclosures for you and one
for me.
This one made last. I didn't want
your eagle eyes seeing all the bobby
stitches on the first one. hope you like
1T, Ward. Every stitch stands for
thought Of the hills and our good times.
I've brought Minervy back to life, and I
try to play my old pretends sometimes.
But they always break up into pieces. I'm
rot a kid now, you see. And life is a lot
different when you get out into it, isn't il?
Mommie doesn't seem to get much bet
ter. I'm worried about her. She seems
to have let go, somehow. She never talks
about the ranch much or even worries
about whether Phoebe is keeping the win
dows washed. She talks about when she
was little girl and about when she and
daddy were first married. 1t gets on my
nerves TO see now she mas slipped out OF
everyday life. The nurse says that's COM
mon, though, in sickness. She says |
could go home and look after things for
a week or SO just as well as not. She
says mommie would be all right. But

Well, merry Christmas, Pai-o'-mine,

Wouldn't that taste good,
