Wilmington, Del. May ia Red

Pont de Nemours & Co on its common
stock to aid the Red Cross drive which
begins on May 90. 1t is payable on
May Is to stockholders of record

This dividend is for > per cent. the
largest amount yet set aside by any
corporation to help America win the
war against Germany.
The Du Pont company was among
the first last year to adopt this idea
of corporation dividends for Red
Cross purposes, and officials OF this
company were given credit for origi~
mating the plan. At that time divi
dends of only / per cent were de-
Ciared. but the Du Point directors be-
heye that there is no work for hui
mantty more important than the work
the Red Cross is doing In this world
war. The question of increasing the
dividend was given most serious con-
sideratlon as soon as plans for the
coming campaign began to mature 1t
is expected that virtually OF the divi-
dend checks will he turned into the
Red Cross FUND by their recipients
Du Pont stockholders are scattered
throughout the country, so that every
section viii benefit by this distribution
though most OF the stock is held in
this section of the United states
The distribution is to be made early
this year so that every one will have
the funds in hasd at the beginning OF
the campaign. thus avoiding some of
the complications caused last year by

lar contributions had been made

RICHMOND RESPONDS
To BOY HOME APPEAL
Rotary Club and Other City OrGani
ratiHus Have Given S6,5Si to- Gov
inCton Industrial school.

The people Of Richmond are lend
ing q receptive ear to the appeals Of
the CoYington Industrial School for
Homeless Boys which is striving to
raise 5000 in this city. When clos
ing time came late Saturday after
noon IT VAS announced that s65S1
had been procured and that more
money was soon to be forthcoming
ON the whole this total is highly
satisfactory to President George FLOYD
Rogers and his associates. They did
not expect to raise the needed amount
IN q day but thew do believe that
the better the public understands the
work Of the Institution the more lib
orally il wilt respond, Since the
campaign was launched in Richmond
President Rogers has received seven
additional applications from persons
wishing 10 enter boys in the home
This makes the total about sixty. And
the sad part about the situation is
that these Youngsters cannot be ac-
commodated until the plant is en-
iarged or some Of the seventy-five
boys now at the school are discharged.
The Rotary club which few days
ago decided TO maintain seven boys
at the institution Ia not satisfied to
let its philanthropy rest at this point.
ON Tuesday II will appoint a. COM
mIttee 10 help. in the work of solicit
ing, As this organization for some
years past has supported two boys in
the home it knows just what the
school is accomplishing and will be
able to furnish some potent advocates
in lis behalf.
Judge J. Hoge Kicks. OF the juve-
nile court, is leaving no stone un
turned to>assist the institution in pro-
curing the needed funds. In his Off
cial capacity he daily notes the good
it rs doing and sees its need for in
creased facilities. Only a day or so
ego his attention was directed TO the
case of a tiny mite of a boy who
recently has been pushed around from
pillar 10 post Several homes have
been found for this youngster. but
each time be comes back with the
message, we don't want this boy;
he's a little thief"

but the average household is unwll-
ing to cope with his delinauencies.
1t is obvious that what this urchn
particularly needs at this time ii
systematic discipline and proper su-
pervision. This he will certainly get
i'm the Covington home IL he finally
lands there. An1 the chances are
ninety-nlne to. one that year OF
training in tha institution will set him
straight and thus rob the criminal
classes OF promising recruit.
The School for Homeless Bows is
not state institution. but it IS in
corporated and boys e~e committed 10
its care both through the Juvenile
courts or the commonwealth and
through the state hoard OF charities
and corrections No distinctions are
made on account of~creed or nation
ality, and boys from all parts of yir-
ginia are received when there lis room
to accommodate them.

AGENT
BY Miss Ellen Nelson

Miss Butzerin the State Exteesion
Nurse has given us a full week of
very valuable instruction in element
airy hygiene and first aid. We have
had over thirty present at each SEES
sion and Miss Butzerin has certainly
given us her best. Every woman
that has been present has received
some knowledge which will help her
own family and the community at
large. 1t is beautiful spirit in which
our Liberal women have sacrificed
their time to aid their community in
knowing how to care for its sick. We
have had women in from Kismet and
the country around and know they
feel that they have been paid for the
time they have put in.
We have had the Extension Nurse,
Miss Butzerin under the Red Cross.

BRINGING 1T HOME

The fact that we are really Sin the
war" is just beginning to impress it
self upon us. The occasional sight of
a soldier or sailor uniform helps; the
troop trains which stop here allowing
the men the freedom of the town,
helps; the large headlines in the pa
pers,. the bond drives, Red Cross ac-
tivity-all these it seems should bring
it home to us more forcibly, yet it is
so far away. 1t SENS at times more
like a terrible nightmare than real
ity.
Perhaps nothing has so impressed
the writer as the drilling of the Home
Guards. As we watch this body of
men learning the manual of arms,
perfecting themselves in marching,
and hear the commands given by the
commanding officer, we realize that 1T
is not child's play or a passing fancy
but stern necessity. The war, so far
away, is being brought to our own
doors.
The Home Guards are to take the
place of the State Guards, in other
words they are to become State
Guards, subject to the service of the
state. The necessity for this organ
ization was created when the State
Guards were taken into the regular
army for service. These organiza-
tions will go on guard duty whenever
it becomes necessary, and the town
which has an efficient company of
State guards is fortunate.
We are glad to see that Liberal is
getting this start. The move is a
commendable one-and it is bringing
the war home to US in very forci-
BILE manner.

A BADGE OF HONOR

A liberty loan button is a badge of honor. Rightfully obtained it marks the wearer as one who has performed a distinct, definite service to the coun- try.
 Not all can fight, not all can work directly for the government; but in buying liberty loan bond, or war savings stamps, every American ren- ders some service to the nation. It has been put within the reach and power of every citizen to aid the United States financially; it is a poor American who withholds support from the government, from our soldiers and sailors fronting death on battlefields and oceans.
 Iron crosses to German soldiers, and diamond orders exchanged between Turkish and German sovereigns may be but the honcrs of atrocity. But a liberty loan button, simple as it is, signifies Q patriotic duty done and is an insignia of honor.

POKER WINNERS
 PAY INCOME TAX

Here is consolation for poker losers l Winners at poker must pay income tax on their winnings. Losers at pO- ker, well, they are just losers.
 This interesting bit of news that hits pokeI profiteers comes from the internal revenue bureau which has just made an informal ruling that earnings from the game were subject to the income tax, but that losses could not be deducted from the income in figur- ing the tax.
 Thus there is tax for the winner and no relief for the loser. The rul- ing was given in answer to the follow ing letter of inquiry:
 Kindly tell me whether poker losses are deductible from net incoAe in figuring income taxes. I lost a large sum ae poker in the past year. and the question with me is vital. For the inforamtion of a friend who has had good poker profits, please tell me whether these are to be included in the income"
