At meeting of theBoard of Educa-
tiOn of the Smyrna Public Schools.

schools on the 9th of September with
well organized and equipped corps
of teachers, to the end that the very
best results will be attained in the

EDDIE G. BURRIS WOUNDED
Smyrna Boy, Son of Captain Burris,
Gets Broken Rib and Injured Hip
in Big Drive Against the Hun

Eddie G. Burris, son of CAPTAIN
Burris, of this town, has sent his first
letter home from France, since woun-
ded IN the recent American drive
against the Hun, where he received a
broken rib and injured hip. He is
recovering and hopes to be back in

While giving first aid to a second

they were quite ready to admit it
There was some real excitement.while
it lasted-the way we handled them
was great. We soon captured them

to tell you of the work of the Red
Cross here, how we try to appreciate
their work for the boys. After get
ting hurt | was compelled to leave the
battle front, go to the rear, to a first
aid station, where l saw a number of
slightly wounded boys. Some were
eating candy, smoking cigarettes and
drinking hot chocolate, others eating
and drinking hot soup, and plenty of
1t, given by the Red Cross. Shortly
atterWard we were moved by ambu-
lance farther back, where we were
again met by he Red Cross and given
the same kind of eats. The underlv-
ing principle was, those who could
not help themselves were given the
greater attention, helped more than
the slightly wounded were. You can't
wonder we want the Red Cross every
where to know what we think of their
unVarylng kindness to us. 1t is sim
ply great. Just imagine, after hiking
all night in rain and mud, fighting
next morning, getting wounded, ana
weak from the effects, to receive so
much attention and kindness, it is
wonderful. They can't have too much
praise, as | am experiencing it all and
know it is true, good work. The hos
pial work is fine tOo-again the Red
Cross. The nurse is there and does
everything to make us comfortable
and feel at home. What little can
say of the Red Cross, its work and
workers,will, hope, make our parents
relatives and friends rely upon the
fact we are being cared for and get all
the attention possible at their hands.
Too much praise cannot be given to
the work here, at home and else

DELAWARE PEACHES FALL OFF.
Only About Third of a Crop Report
ed by State Board of Agriculture

Delaware's peach crop this wear is
both a failure and asuccess, inconsist-
ent as that statement may seem. Pro-
fessOr Wesley Webb, of Dover. secre-
tary of the Delaware State Board of
Agriculture, in astatement made in
Dover Friday, declared that reports
from various sections of the State
show that there will probably only be
one-third of a crop,and not One-half
OF crop at best, of peaches this
year, yet the prices received for the
delicious fruit, which has made Della
ware famous, have been so exception
ally good that all growers who have
had any crop at all have realized a
talr profit, and those whose orchards
have been highly productive have prac-
tlcally coined money. Peaches that in
former years could be bought for so
cents to rs cents a basket. have
brought from SIPS to S1.75 a basket
at the orchards, clear of all SHINING
expenses. The crop of white peaches.
especially Belle of Georgia and Cham
plon varieties, was fairly good, and
they sold readily at the orchards for
$l.25 per basket, and brought $3.50 a
carrier, twenty-fOur quarts, in the
market. The yellow peach crop, which
consists mostly of the famous Elber-
tas, usually Delaware's most pro-
ductive peach crop, was unusually
light this year, and as a result the
prices were very high. Elbertas.
which were placed on the market last
week, brought from $1.5O to $3.50, the
latter price for high grade fruit. at
the orchards, and the market price has
been higher than for many years past.
Growers who were fortunate enough
TO have a good crop of yellow peaches
and there only few of them in Kent
county, will realize greater profits
than has been made on a Delaware
peach crop in many years. The
peaches, while scarce, are in prime
condition, the white peaches especially
being of a splendid flavor and color
Some of the yellow peaches are a little
knotty, but owing to their keepinp
quality, which is far superior to the
white peach,there is a greater demand
tor them than for the latter variety

CHAPLAIN WILLIAMS IN CAMP.
Left Smyrna Thursday Morning for
Kentucky, to Go in Training-Dr.
Charles A. Hill Succeeds Him.

The Rev. George C. Williams, pas
tor of Asbury NJ. E. Church, Smvrna.
who recently received his commission

new field of service. During his alb
sence, Asbury Church, Smyrna, will
be served by the Rev. Charles A. Hill
d., D., who resides here. Mr.. VIII
liams' family will continue to occupv
the Smyrna parsonage, at least until
the next conference. Chaplain Will
liams left with the good wishes of his
Smyrna friends and congregation.who
before leaving extended him an infor
NAL farewell and presented him with
a wrist watch and a purse of money.
DIR. Hill takes hold of the affairs of
Asbury until conference appoints a
pastor. 1t will be recalled by those
who are acquainted with the facts
that DR.. Hill is a product of Asburv
Church, Smyrna, and that he was pas
tor of that church from 1898 to 1900
and 1t was perfectly natural for the
people of Smyrna to turn to him when
MIR. Williams was called in the service
OF his country. DR.. Hill begins his
second pastOrate in Smyrna in Sep
tember, as the unanimous choice of
the congregation, and official board
of the, church and by the appointment
of the district superintendent, ,approv-
ed by Bishop William F. Mcdowell.
the resident bishop of this area. Mr..
Williams is the second man the Will
mington Conference has sent into the
chaplaincy. The Rev. Howard Davis
has been in the service for about
year. Mr.. Davis is with the Della
ware boys at Camp Dix, where he has
served with credit to the State and
his conference, and himself.
