Money for County,

Persons are paying their taxes at a
rate which keeps the force at the Of
flee of the county treasurer busy all
the time. In no previous year has the
record of early payment been ap-
preached
Incidentally. a very large proper
ton of the persons are paying the en-
tire years assessment at once, rather
than split it into two payments, ac-
cording to information from the treas
urer's office.
There is no rebate allowed this year
as in past years, for the payment of
both halves of the tax assessment, but
people seem to have the money, and
Ito prefer paying the whole thing now
rather than be bothered coming back
in June to pay the rest" it was said.

Dover, Del. April 4-Firm in the
belief that the Delaware house of rep.
resentatives will reconsider its action
OF last week when ratification of the
national suffrage amendment was de-
feated. an additional force OF women
workers arrived here today.
Since the vote in the house against
ratification last week great change
has come over the political situati ion
here. Alfred l. Dupont, former state
leader, who announced his retirement
from active politics last December. has
come out souarely for suffrage.
The Significance of his return to ac-
tive politics rests in the fact that rati-
hcauon was defeated by the votes OF
nne Republican representatives from
SUSSEX county. all of whom owe their
political allegiance to Alfred Dupont
T. Coleman Dupont, national Repnb-
lican committeeman of the state, has
been working for ratification without
overworking himself The Sussex
county mem befs believed that in op-
posing ratification they were pleasing
their old leader. Alfred Dupont. whose
relations with. his cousin, General Du.
