We are glad to announce that
this community lived up to all
expectations in the collection OF /
funds for the YIN. CA. war work
to be done at the Army Camps
and at the front in France. The
result compares favorably with
the result in other towns of this
state of twice our population.
The liberality Of some of the
business concerns is to be highly
commended. The Washington
Bank & Trust Company after
contributing literally at Angie

$50 as its contribution here. The
McCreary Lumber Company

and the men at work for that
company from water boy to the
president, gave days wages.
| A noticeable feature of the col
lection is the readiness of the
colored citizens of the communi.
ty to help. They gave gladly.
They are patriotic to the core.
The following is the result;
Washington Bank & Trust Co,
$4,000; McCreary Lumber Co
and men paid s200.S1; Citizens
of Hackley $4,000; General col

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-07

BY BETTY BROWN
Girls, I'm appealing to you for help.
Young girls, old girls, fat and thin
girls, blond and brunei girls, I'm in
need of assistance from all of you.
For long, long time I've been tell
ing you about fashions, advising you
what was the latest word. And I've
liked it, for believed you were fol-
lowing me.
Now you must help me.
want a bathing suit. The water
NAV be a bit cold these days, but !
want my suit when summer comes.
And preparedness is the order of the
hour. When the first really warm
day comes ! want to be clad for a
dash down to the beach.
Use your own judgment about the
style of the suit.
If you think ! am a beach basker,
make it friIIY and beribboned.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-07

If you think am a very water
witch, make it useful and let the
friIls go.
But remember that the city fathers
say the skirt on skirted suits must
come to four inches above the knee
at least. One-piece suits are differ
emit, but they mustn't be too low in
the neck and armhoIes must fit
snugly.
Those are my only suggestions and
YOU don't have to follow them if you
don't want to.
Monday The Day Book will print r
a diagram on which you can design
the bathing suit. There wilI-be four
diagrams all together, and they will
be in the paper every day for two
weeks. Use any one of them or all
of them.
And design as many suits as you
like. There is no limit.

And say what the voice may be.
"Tis proud free people calling loud
10 a people proud and free"
"And II says 10 them Illnsmen hail,
We severed have been too long;
Now let us have done with worn-out
tale.
The tale Of an ancient wrong
And our friendship last long as love
doth last and be stronger than
death Is strong
Answer them. sons OF the self-some
race,
And blood Of the selr-same clan,
Let us speak with each other, face to
face.
And answer as man to man,
And Loyalty love and trust each other
Rs mono hut free men can.
Now. fling them out to the breeze,
Shamrock thistle and rose
And tho Star Spangled Banner unfurl
with these.
A message to friends and foes,
Wherever the sails of peace are seen.
and wherever the war wind
blows.
A message to bond and throu to wake
For, wherever We come, we twain,
The throne of the tyrant shall rocR
and quake,
And his menace be void and vain;
For you are lords OF strong young
land and we are lords of the
main.
Yes. this is the voice on the bluff

But now we have done with worn

The tale Of an ancient wrong,
And our friendship last long as love
