Official Victory Loan Song. 18th Fed
eraI Reserve District

Words by Harlan f. Babcock; music
by Evelyn French.
In the window of cottage hangs a
simple service flag.
With a star that says a boy is
"over there"
Ard beside it hangs another, showing
just letter "V,"
That's plea for everyone to do his
share.
It's sign that says we've triumphed,
but we haven't paid the bills:
It's call from every doughboy,
every COB
To back the Victory Loan that's going
to bring the victcrs home,
And to help our Uncle Sam COM
plete the job.
Chorus:
The "V" YOU see in the flag is there
for Victory.
Which means that Yankee Doodle won
the fight.
1t also stands for "Five," and as we in
neace would thrive.
And lead the world and keep our lib
erty
We've gct to die down deep into our
pockets with a smile,
But ne'er a whimper or a sob.
So each one buy a note and climb in
the Victory boat
Come on. let's finish the job SURE.
we1l finish the job!
Every "V" is Heavens message TO
each sweetheart. mother. wife.
That her loved one, if alive, viii
come again,
And that Yankee preparations brought
the conflict to close,
Saved the lives of half million Of
our men.
Uncle Ssmmy's mighty army scared
the Germans into fits,
And they Quit the war sore, de-
feated mob.
Saving billions to our nation, bringing
peace and jubilation,
So turn in and help to finish mp the
job.

PLAN DOvER-MILFORD ROUTE.
New Route of State Highway Will
Be More Than Six Miles Shorter.

New Route of State Highway Will
Be More Than Six Miles Shorter.
The route to be followed by the
dupont Boulevard, has been graded
up to Kent county line, a short
distance west of Milford. Owners
of land are wondering what is to be
done. It has been said that the
survey of the State Highway Com
mission runs the line of the proposed
road from Lake Haven, just outside
of Milford to the old Kings Highway,
which leads through the Grier chicken
farm, then, crossing the road lead
ing from Milford to Harrington
to the farm of George B. Draper, ST.,
and the farms of Jacob Rose, A. b.
Peets, J. Frank Salavan and John
Skewis. At this point it runs again
into the State road and continues
until it gets to Tubb's Hill, and there
takes a straight course to the Fred
erica Lane. This route will shorten
the road from Milford to Dover by
more than six miles. While the boul-
evard will be close to the county line
it will take in a section which needs
developing and will increase the value
of the adjacent land. It is said thai
some of the owners of farms have al
ready advanced their valuations more
than two hundred percentum abov'
what they have been offering to sci
for. Of course, there is some "kick
ing" but the owners of land will re
ceive from the State, which is doinl
the work, only what the land take
is worth.

BISHOP F. ]. KINsMAN RESIGNS.
Tenders His Resignation at Opening
of Diocesan Convention at Sea-
fOrd.-Was Loved in Smyrna.

Unusual interest was centered in
the 133rd annual convention of the
Episcopal Church, which opened in
st. Luke's P. E. Church, in Seaford,
this morning, by reason of the state
ments made public by prominent men,
bers and lay delegates to the con-
vention that Bishop Rt. Rev. F. ].
Kinsman, D. D., S. T. D., Ii. D., will
resign his office as head of the Dio-
cese of Delaware. 1t had been known
for some time the Bishop was in poor
health and his contemplated action
was no surprise. When the conven~
tion was called to order this morn
ing Bishop Kinsman was not there.
Rev. William H. Laird, D. D., presi-
dent of the standing committee, pre-
sided as Bishop. The formal resig-
nation of the Bishop was read be-
fore the convention in the morning.
The matter of selecting a successor
to Bishop Kinsman can not be settled
|
to the Board of Bishops, which meets
in Detroit in October. In the mean
time the affairs of the church in Del
aware are controlled by our standing
committee, consisting of Rev. William
H. Laird, Rev. Frederick M. Kirkus
and Edward G. Bradford, Sr, OF Will
mington; Rev. Benjamin F. Thomp-
son, of Dover; Woodburn Martin, OF
Georgetown. The profOundest regret
was expressed over the action OF
Bishop Kinsman, and though lOathe to
part with him, the kindest wishes
were expressed for any work in which
he may engage. Bishop Kinsmar
came here in 1908, succeeding BishoI
), Coleman as head of the. Delaware
: Diocese. He was formerly protes
e sor in the General Theological Semi
: nary. in New York. :..,,
