Local D. A. r. to Sell FLAGS Today.
Members of Sarah Williams Daniel
| son chapter, D. a. R.. will be very busy
| today selling reproductions of the flag
| of Belgium, the funds collected to go
Tor relief work in that sadly devast-
| ated, war-torn country. The little
| flags sell for not less than seven cents
each, but as much more may be paid
| for them as generosity dictates, Sat-
urday is the birthday Of King Albert
| of Belgium and the anniversary time
has been adopted as most propitious
Tor selling the FACES. Throughout the
| United States today several scores of
| thousands OF members of the Daught-
ers of the American Revolution are
| engaged in selling the flags The high
nope is that every member will sell at
least loo. a result that would bring
tremendous money return. Here in
Danielson some members will reach
the hundred mark; all will sell as
many as possible.
Seven cents is an odd price to ask
for a flag, but that sum represents
what it costs to feed a person for a
day in crushed and bleeding Belgium.
1t is not a large sum in this country
of many blessings. but sent across the
ocean to starving people it may
mean life saved.
Motorcycles Returning.

Marland, Alanson Colvin and How
ard Kingsley, young men who have

trip in the Florida Everglades. This
was a tend days trip, with Indian
guides to direct them through the tor
turous going, and it all seemed very
wonderful, as 1t was, at first, but the
facinatfon died away as the trip wore
on and it's end was welcomed joyousiy.
Sidney P. Marland, brother Of Will.
lam, telling of the trip Thursday said
that the young men had some great
| sport shooting at alligators and
snakes and that they became quite
proficient as marksmen during the
course Of their journeyings through
the tangle Of the glades.
