a new ruling provides that packages
which come under the regulations Of
fourth class parcels post) division
may now be sealed. Previous to this
time packages sealed came under the
same rate of postage as first class
mail The new ruling, which becomes
effective Immediately, is held to be ad-
vantageous to the mailer and TO the
postal clerk, since many of the pack
ages were so insecurely tied that they
became unwrapped. The packages
must be appropriately labeled as to
their contents and are subject to the
inspection by the postmaster.
The new ruling comes too late TO be
of much service during the Christmas
rush of parcels post mail, as accord
ing to Postmaster John S. Pearson, the
bulk of the outgoing Christmas pack
ages have already been dispatched. SO
far as he can Judge. the Christmas
business in the postoffice appears to
be about normal, probably somewhat
better than last year and not quite so
heavy as years during the war.

To Days Remarks

There is a probability that . state

state, and steps have already been
taken in this direction. A preliminary
meeting was held in Great Falls Mon

At the regular meeting of the Cas-

last Thursday evening in Great Falls,
County Commissioner L. III. Kommers,

made in a published interview.

the county, representing what he said

counties were confronted with the task
of feeding prisoners at war time prices
and it was found that the allowance
was not sufficient to meet the cost. /,
as well as other officers, asked the
commissioners for an increase in al

Montana Will Be
Host to National
Editorial Assn.

The National Editorial association
will meet the coming year IN Montana
and the various commercial clubs of
the state have undertaken the job of
providing them with entertainment.
The convention had at first planned
to meet in Salt Lake and continue TO
Missoula, where another meeting
would be held, but since the CONNER
cial clubs Of Montana have gotten In
touch with the association they have
decided to abandon their visit to Salt
Lake and come straight to Montana.
The Missoula Chamber of Commerce
extended the first invitation to the
editors.
One of the most extensive and edu-
cational programs ever offered in the
state has been arranged by the com
mercial clubs of all the large cities of
Montana and is to offer a 17-day tour
through Yellowstone and Glacier ma
tional parks, through various oil fields
and stops will be made at all the towns
en- route where possible without up
setting the schedule, according to the
plan related by Secretary l.. <. Jones.
The trip will cost approximately
$4,000, which is to be divided between
the organizations of the state most
vitality interested. The amounts alot-
ted cities and areas supporting COM
mercial organizations are: Missoula
$4,000, Lewistown 81. 500, Butte 50 1000
Bozeman $500, Miles City $500, Kalis-
pel $1,000, Helena $500, Livingston
$500, Great Falls $4,000, area east Of
Great Falls on Great Northern railway

Last year the convention was held In
Florida and it was announced in Mis-
soula that the amount of advertising
for the state which resulted from the
meeting there was approximately six
million lines Of free advertising which
stimulated business and interest In
the state to a remarkable degree. The
fact that this year the convention viii
take place in Montana means hat 49,
000 newspapers in the country holding
memberships in the association will
give the state Of Montana advertising
that will mean a boost for the state, a

The following eulogistic COM
ment upon the work of Rev. Fred
erick G. Krapf, SON Of Charles
Krapf of Newark, appeared in last
Sundays issue Of the Delmarvia
Star:
ga well-known Wilmington boy
who has made good in the ministry
in another locality is Rev. Fred
erick G. Kraf, pastor of st. An
drew's Lutheran Church, Atlantic
City, N. j. He is the son of Charles

"Mr. Krapf was confirmed in

Tatnall Street, near Seventh, on

torate of Rev. William A. Sadtler,
the first pastor Of the church. He
attended the public schools of Will

September 18th. But the contest at
Cooch's Bridge is one which de-
serves to be remembered. 1t was
the first and only conflict fought
on Delaware soil and is supposed
to be the first time the original
American flag was borne in the
forefront Of battle.
General William Maxwell, the
hero of the encounter at Cooch s
Bridge, was born of Irish parent
age and when lad came to Amer
lea with his parents and settled in
the State of New Jersey. He was
forty-four years of age at the time
Of this engagement and was buried
a century ago in Easton, Pennsyl-
vania.
The founders of the Newark
Chapter Of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, living only
two miles from the scene of the
first and only battle fought on
Delaware soil in the cause of
American freedom, considered it
an honor and a privilege to have
their Chapter known as "The
Cooch's Bridge"
We, who are now enjoying the
freedom of this country made safe
by the valor and heroism of these
brave patriots, should not allow
their sacrifice to be in vain. But
with the memory of these scenes
we should be inspired to patriotism
and greater ideals that will lead
us to be better citizens and make
the government safe for Demo-

and thunder prevented Howe s
men from moving onward for three
days. At this time the American
Army was encamped in Buck s
County, Pennsylvania, twenty
miles north of Philadelphia.
On August 22nd information
reached the American Army Of the
arrival Of the British fleet in the
Chesapeake Bay. Orders were then
given for the Army to proceed at
once to Chester. On the morning
Of the 23rd the Army moved down
the Old York Road to German
town and there encamped for the
night. The next day with General
Washington at its head, the Army
marched through Philadelphia,
Darby, Chester and Namaan s
Creek, to Wilmington, Delaware.
On reaching Wilmington, Gen
eral Washington took up his head
quarters on Quaker Hill in a house
on the west side of West Street,
midway between Third and Fourth
Streets and the Army encamped
on the high ground lying north of
Delaware Avenue between Harri-
son and Clayton Streets. General
Washington continued his head
quarters at Wilmington until the
ninth day of September. The
Army, in the meantime, took its
post on the north side of White
Clay Creek and on the east side of
Red Clay Creek, in the immediate
vicinity of Stanton and Kiamensi,
with pickets out as far as Chris
tiana bridge.
While General Washington was
moving his men south towards
Chesapeake Bay, the British were
advancing slowly north twords
Iron Hill with picket at Cooch s
Mill.
September the 2nd the American
Army had advanced as far as New
port, making the British and
American Armies only ten miles
apart. General Washington now
directed General Maxwell to select
detachment of picked men from
the different Brigades and advance
by the way Of Aiken's Tavern or
Pencader to the lines of the Brit
lsh Army with directions to keep
near the enemy and give him every
possible annoyance.
At nine O'Clock, September the
3rd, 1777, about one mile from
Pencader, where the country was
close, the British under Lord Corn
wallis, began to attack the ap-
preaching Americans and General
Maxwell found himself at Cooch $
Bridge confronted with not only
the major part of General Howe's
Army but his artillery, as well.
After several hours or fighting,
General Maxwell was forced to re-
treat but his tactics had the de-
sired effect, as they prevented the
British Army from advancing and
lmpeded its progress; after this
encounter, September the 3rd, the
whole. British Army was ordered
to encamp in this vicinity, resting
until September the Sth, when the
march began northward through
Newark and onto Chadd's Ford.
This skirmish at CoOch s Bridge
has been greatly over-shadowed by
the magnitude of the Battle of the
Brandywine at Chadds Ford which
followed so closely afterwards on
