FARM BUREAU NOTES

Now that we have passed through
the busiest part of the season of food
production, and most of the crops are
harvested, we may take a little time
for checking up on results. After
results are checked it is time to be-
gin making plans for another year,
and to see what can be done through
the organization to secure better re-
suits for another year.
The farmers have been so busy dur
ing the summer season that in some
of the communities they have not
found time to get together to finish
the Farm Bureau organization in the
community. After the county organ
izatiOn was formed in May, commit
teemen were appointed in each COM
munity to finish the organization
there. In some of the communities
they were able to get together early
in the season to form their plans, and
this has been a great help to some.
The other communities are now plan
ming to get their members together as
soon as possible to finish their com
munity organization before the annu-
al meeting in December. This annual
meeting is one county meeting of the
year at which all the members come
together, and is held in Georgetown.
1t is hoped that we will soon have
county agent to take the place of
ID. H. Kaufman, who was called out
of the county for military service on
the first of August.
The women's committees of the
Farm Bureau are interested in a
work which promises to be of great
benefit to our school children both in
town and country districts. that of in
Producing hot lunches in the schols.
Farmers of Delaware are favored
beyond those of any other state in

TO AID UNITED WAR WORK

The boys and girls of the State of
Delaware are being organized to aid
the soldiers and sailors by each earn
ing and giving toward the United
War Work Campaign to be conducted
in the interest of seven organizations
doing war welfare work. The slogan
is "A Delaware boy and girl back of
every Delaware fighter"
State School Commission Arthur
Spaid heartily approves of the plan
but he expressed his opinion that
there might be some difficulty for the
boys and girls of rural communities
finding suitable work to do to earn
and fill their pledge to help in the
great work of backing the boys, there
fore the following suggestions are
made by Walter S. Watson, the exc
cutive secretary of the Victory Boys
and girls.
There are three plans by which the
money may be acquired-the self-de-
NAL plan, the allowance plan and the
work plan.
Boys and girls are you not willing
to do without few sundaes and NOV
les so that big brother over there,
whether he is your big brother or
some one else's, may have a cup of
hot coffee on a cold night or some
cigarettes and chocolate after a hard
day in the trenches, or a warm hut
where he can have some fun with the
fellows? This is the self-denial plan.
II father or mother gives you an
allowance for your spending money,
couldn't you save half of it, for a few
weeks, so that a lonely sailor can go
to the theatre or a wounded soldier
have bood to read? This is the al
lOwance plan.
Then comes the odd jobs, that we
may not like. Fixing the neighbOr's
furnace. cleaning autos, houseclean-
ing and odd jobs of homework, car
pentering, and a thousand others for
fair pay without interfering with
school work.
Don't say, 81 wish l could fight the
Huns" Go TO it! Boy or girl. and
get back of a fighter. There are
about twenty-thousand Delaware boys
with the colors and they need your
help.
The older folks can do their share
by saving their odd jobs for the young
people and reporting them to the
nearest school house.

PEACE RUMOR FALSE
MILFORD CELEBRATES

Shortly after noon on Thursday the
citizens of Milford and the eRtire
country were thrilled by news that
Germany had signed an armistice. All
over the country great demonstrations
were held, and business gave way to
rejoicing. In Milford the school chill
dren paraded throughout the streets.
while bells and whistles contributed
their part to the noise making portion
of the celebration. Thursday even-
ing hundreds gathered in the square
and took part in patriotic exercises.
The rumOr was false, it having been
sent to this country by one of the new
associations. Secretary of State Lam
sing officially denied the accuracy OF
the report.
Milford chronicle., 1918-11-08

The minds of all at home constant
ly followed our boy at the Front. We
knew those qualities in him which
prompted love, respect. and admira-
tion always knowing that he would
put into effect that one hundred per-
cent quality which he possessed, and
is il strange that those with whom he
was associated in army life during
those dark, strenuous days at the
Front should have recognized in him
those things that we here at home
knew him for?
The following letter from his cap
tain is just such a letter as would
have been expected:
October 16. 1918.
My Dear Doctor and Mrs. Carlisle:
1t is with the utmost regret that l
am writing to tell you Of the death
of your son Paris. You have, | am
sure, been notified of it before this,
but | wanted to say few things to
you about him that l am sure will
be a comfort to you.
Paris came to my cOmpany-"Co.
P'-when he was assigned to Camp
Lee and until few days before his
death / have been in constant touch
with him.
Today he stands out amongst my
acquaintances both in civil life and
in the army as one of the best eX
amples of what a MAN should be and
what man could be, that / have
ever known.
At a time when my brother officers
and the men of our regiment were
making the greatest sacrifice a man
can make, he was taken away from
us, and more strong men shed tears
for him than it was possible to be-
lieve.
Never in my constant association
with him did ever see anything that
! could not admire about him, and
assure you that the boys of Company
~, to whom he had endeared him
self, always felt as though the Lieu
tenant belonged to us.
am sending by parcel post a few
effects of his that / thought you
might care to keep. He carried very
little baggage with him, 'and so it is
not at all large parcel.
Knowing that you will be gratifed
to know that your son died a soldier
uUluB his uuLyf 1 du
Respectfully yours,

The following letter from one whom
he referred to in his letters home. is
perhaps even a keener and happier
tribute:
Somewhere in France.
3-S-1S
My dear 1t. Carlisle:
You may not appreciate the feeling, |
but a certain restraint kept me from |
telling you some of the things I am |
writing you.
l want you to knew that my few |
months of association with you (be-
cause you were broad enough to make |
t more or less of an association |
was very great help to me. That |
your character, clean morals, and |
deals unconsciously raised my stand
lrd in these things. That the con-
Iideration you gave me at all times |
vas in itself remarkable.
My army life has been short but |
ny association with me much longer,
md in view of both experiences / |
consider myself fortunate to have 1

nay they appreciate the privilege.
Very sincerely,
