Wilmington, Del, July 9th, 1918.


An organization, designed to
take advantage of the rising tide
of community spirit brought about
by war conditions and to direct it
into channels which will make of
Delaware a model community, was
formed yesterday at meeting in
the DUPONT Building attended by
many of the States most promln-
ent men and women.

Delaware containing declaration
of principles was adopted and the
name for the organization - Ser
vice Citizens of Delaware ~ was
chosen. Pierre S. dupont, presi-
dent of the dupont Company, was

ranization and was directed to
lame a committee which should
prepare a constitution and bylaws
and perfect a reorganization to
carry out the principles enunciated
in the platform.
The organization is non-political
and non-sectarian. 1t was formed
without regard to politics or re-
ligion and has as its guiding
principle the betterment of social
conditions in Delaware which are
seriously limiting the efforts made
by the people in support of the war
and which will prove, if they per-
sist, an obstacle to civic progress
when the war is over.
1t is the first organization of its
kind formed in the United States

ton, to bring about a betterment
of conditions.

July 9, 1918.
To the Citizens of Delaware:
The present national emergency

; in Delaware which fall short OF

, and which, therefore, require care

i may be mentioned: sanitation, pub

\ child welfare work, the care of de

Facts About the New War and
Thrift Stamps to be Issued

There has been considerable mtsun-
Outstanding and doubt about the new
issue af war saving stamps at the be-
ginning of the year. The issue that
will be released on January i will be
blue IN color and smaller In size than
those that arc sold at the present
time. The stamps can also be pur-
chased at s4.12 and not at 1913, the
present price, however, the new issue
will not mature until 1924, while the
present stamps mature in 1928.
There will not be a new thrift stamp
issued es was announced a short time
ago. The thrift stamp that the public
are buying now MAJ be purchased az
long as the supply holds out and h a
will be for some time to come. h
price of the thrift stamps also remain
the same Mt twenty-five cents. n the
books which urchasers now hold are
still valid after January !.
In the official state bulletin pub
lished by the national war savings
committee at Newark. Perth Amboy Is
listed as the eighty-third city In the
sale of stamps in New Jersey and has
sold stamps TO the amount of $194.-
up TO November which is
about $500 per capita, computed from
fhe census of 1915.

IL expecting profit from the Inspec-

Presently forms began TO loom up

gan to move. Beasts. extraordinarily
strange and odd beasts. with shaggy
heads and curved horns, like ~buraloes.

often master In the single contests.
He could no fight the whole herd, and
that, in fact, was what he was being
asked to do then. In other words, a
piece OF wild Justice was taking place,
which Is to say that. because Of his
"~crustiness." jealousy, lack of chivalry.
or for some other, or all these reasons
that old shaggy brute was being kicked

As they drew nearer, one saw that
they were blue gnus, which are brrn-
died gnus. which are bearded gnus,
which are wild beasts. and devillsh
wild beasts, too. If you did not know
they were antelope. you would have
said they were buffalo. musk Ok. horse
and antelope mixed In one beast. The
result. anyway, was a queer GUS
toner.
At last the old bull gn%u-perhaps he
had been lord of the herd till then
acknowledged defeat, and. realizing
that he could not do the impossible,
cleared himself ~cleverly from a terri

many herds of antelopes and or zc5T9.
