The Christmas Red Cross Drive

the duty of every American citizen
to become a member of the Red
Cross. We must do all we can to
serve and relieve the boys in the
trenches who are sacrificing their
lives for the future welfare of our
country. The Red Cross Society of
America must number fifteen mill
lion by Christmas eve. This large
army of Red Cross workers has. four
distinctive meanings: First, to force
Germany to realize that the concert
ed spirit of the American people is
backing the American government
in this war; second, to spur the
morale of our soldiers by pledging
to the cause the hearts and minds
and money of 100000 Americans
back home; third, to bind the
wounds of our fighters so that every
drop of American blood may be saw
ed to establish world democracy;
fourth, to link the spirit of the Red
Cross with the spirit of Christmas
and hasten the righteous victory
that means world peace.
The remains of Mr.. ]. r. Long,
who died at his home on Saturday
at five p. m, on December 8, were
laid to rest in the Millersburg Gem
etery, Saturday afternoon after an
appropriate funeral service at his
late home, by Elder E. I. Edmonds,
of the Woodland Christian church,
of Lexington. A large crowd was in
attendance at the home. Mr.. Long
was not only a popular citizen, but
a prominent Mason as well. Owing
to the inclement weather it was
with great difficulty that the large
concourse of friends and relatives
found their way to the home and af-
terward to the cemetery. Elder

BOYS VOLUNTEER. IN ARMY Y
M C. A. WORK.

Under the leadership of Mr.. e. T..
Proctor, of the City School, &c boys
have volunteered to work and earn
ten dollars to be given, that an
American soldier may have the ad-
vantages of the Army Y. M. G. A.
until July 1, 1918.
These boys are part of the one
hundred thousand American boys
who have thus enrolled for a COM
mendable part in these days of war
fare. Not only will the money earn
ed add materially to the comfort
and well-being of the men enlisted
under the stars and stripes, but the
discipline of working is an impor-
tant item of any boys life, especial
ly is that true now, and much ben
eft is expected for these boys who
thus engage in unselfish. service.
There is part that the public
can take in this splendid plan, as
many of the boys will not be able
to find their own employment.
Mr.. w. o. Hinton is the District
Chairman for this Boys Work plan
Of the Army Y. M. G. A., and ar
rangements have been made for
those who will provide anything in
the way of work for Paris boys to
telephone the Y. M. C.. A., or send
word to Mr.. Hinton.
If you wish to favor any boy on
the list, please select the boy you
wish to do your work and notify the
Y. M. c. A. whom you have chosen.
Otherwise the boy most suitable for
the work you have will be assigned
to you.
These boys are ready for work
after school closes each day, and
most of them on Saturdays, too.
The boys are looking for this work
at once.

. GIVEN FREEDOM

Copenhagen, March 3.-Four Ameri'
cans from the steamer Yarrowdale,
who have been prisoners in Germany
for three months, have arrived here.
They are DR.. John Davis. Columbus,
Miss; Orville McKim, Watertown. N.
Y; DR.. H. D. Snyder, Norfolk, Va,
and Richard Zabriskie, Englewood,
N. J.
The four were practically destitute.
They reached here with only the
clothes they wore and will, under the
custom of the sea, be supported by
the British consul until it is possible
to send them home.
They owe their release before the
remainder of the seventy-two Ameri'
cans who were on the Yarrowdale to
the fact that, as physicians or veteri'
narians, they ranked as officers and
were confined in the officers camp at
Karlsruhe. ..
