captain will be responsible for q
presence of the members of his team
at these conferences. The captains
of the Mems, WOmen's Victory Girls

MINISTER'S MAKE
A STRONG APPEAL
Urge Whole Hearted and Generous
support In Madison Of Coming
War Work Campaign.

A large majority of the ministers
Of Madison county have issued the
following appeal for support of the
War Work Campaign, which begins
next Monday, which is timely and to
the point and self-explanatory:
When the Roman Catholic Belgian.
the agnostic or Catholic Frenchmen.
and Italians, with the British forces.
put up the stiff fight that checked the
advance of the hordes of the Hun, and
held them at bay, suffering fearful
losses, hammered and pounded for
two long years by shot and she'll, BY
machine gun and shrapnel, harrassed
by aeroplane and submarine, holding
a force many times their own number
in check till America could rally to the
defense Of humanity's cause, we
cheered their pluck, admired their he
roism-we did not ask what creed
they held, but rendered full homage to
their bravery.
We cannot now, in ministry to men
on the seas, in the camps, or in the
blood-drenched trenches, discriminate
and choose, by drawing the lines Of
creed or faith, whom we shall serve.
We must make the lire of our ad-
ministration as broad as the line of
our defense, we must minister with all
and to all. With the jew, our brother
of the Old Testament faith, with the
Roman Catholic who with us has the
love of mankind at heart; we must
work together with all who still work
with US in the great service of minis
tering to the social, physical, moral,
and spiritual needs of our men in mil
itary service.
We ministers of Madison county
urge all within our circle of influence
to contribute freely, largely, and
whole-heartedly to the appeal made
for funds to carry on the allied ser
vices Of the seven organizations,
working for the welfare of the men
in barracks, in camp, at sea, and in
the trenches

MRS. DUPONT GIVES MEDALS

Mrs. Alfred 1. DUPONT has given the
Delaware State Fair two gold medals
for competition in the 1918 fair.
Ten years ago, Mrs. DUPONT gave a
medal for the best sewing exhibit made
by child and this is one of the import
ant features of the children's depart
ment each year. Five years ago, Mrs.
DUPONT. feeling that the interest in
home bread-baking should be stimulated.
offered a medal for the best loaf of
wheat bread. This medal has produced
great deal of competition and given
an impetus to this section, which no
other prize has ever done. This year,
however, Mrs. DUPONT, who has been
most actively engaged in the nation
wide plans for conservation of the
country's foodstuffs, has decided that
the bread medal should be given for
war bread, and the Fair association has
been authorized to make this announce
ment. Mrs. DUPONT will give the bread
medal for war bread only and no wheat
bread will be accepted in the competi-
tion. Each exhibitor will be asked to
state the exact quantity of each kind
of wheat substitute which she uses in
the formula from which her bread is
made.
The sewing medal for the children's
department will be given as usual.

the ass essors that 1918-1919 assessment
would be $50, 900 more than the
1917-1918 assessment, but the excess is
likely to be but $40, 900, 900.
The county tax at present is IS cents
on the 500 in Wilmington and $l35,
including 40 cents road tax in the rural
part of the county. For the next fiscal
