We should dring alone at the purest

In our upward way;
We should live with lifetime's love
IN an hour,
If our hours wer few;
We should rest, not for dreams, but
for fresher power,
To be and to do.
We should bind our weary, wanton
wills
To the clearest light;
We should keep our eyes on the
Heavenly hills,
If they lay in sight;
We should trample the pride and the
discomfort
Beneath our feet;
We should take whatever a good God
sent,
With trust complete.
We should waste no moments in weak
regret,
If the day were but one;

Went out with the sun;
We should from our clamorous selves
set free
To work and TO pray.
And to be what our Father would
have us be,
If we had but day.

| ARTICLES MADE FOR
THE RED CROSS ARE
NOT SOLD


THE RED CROSS ARE
NOT SOLD
The following statement has been
issued by Harvey d. Gibson, Cen
eral Manager of the American Red
Cross:
"a story is being circulated to the
effect that sweaters, socks, and other
articles knitted for the Red Gross are
being sold, either to the public in
shops or direct to the soldiers. This
is emphatically not true. No articles
whatever, either knitted or otherwise
made by Red Cross workers and
turned into any Red Cross Chapter,
Branch, or Auxiliary, or to any sup
ply house, are sold either to the SOL
diers or in shops.
eff any wilful case of this sort
should come to the attention of head
quarters, the Charter of the Red Gross
Chapter or subsidiary sanctioning it
would be Immediately withdrawn with
full publicity. Should it transpire
that an actual instance of the above
character occurred an Individual sold
articles after their having been turn
ed ina to the Red Cross, such action
would be clearly in violation of the
fundamental law covering the Red
SIUSo, dllu we WOalo lohC Ni5OIOoo
steps to prosecute the offender.
att is also true that any case of
persons, other than those acquiring
the right prior to January, 1905, us
ing the name or emblem of the Red
Cross to assist in the sale of mer-
| chandise, is a violation Of the pre-
pisions of the federal criminal law.
and the offender should be reported
Ito the United States district attor-
ney for prosecution.
"There is no way to prevent people
from making the same type of arti-
cles as are produced by Red Cross
workers and selling them for their
own advantage, thus subiectine the
Red Cross to unjust criticism. Should
they use the name or emblem of the
Red Cross in connection with such
sales, however. they will be vigor-
ously prosecuted"

County Treasurer l.. c. Christer
on Monday received the first appor.
tionment of the automobile tax from
the state, amounting to $13,240
This is $500 less than the first appor.
tionment last year, which was $f4,
060, and the second apportionment
for 1916 was $4,000, making a tota
of $1,000 for last year. The second
apportionment for 1917 which will
be received in the fall will perhaps
amount to $4,000, and no doubt will
bring the total up to last years
amount. All of this money is ex.
pended by the board of supervisors
on the roads.

the questions: do | help support

l encourage every movement look
ing to the up-building of the town?
Do l speak a good word for the town
and the people at every opportunl-
ty. DO | lend assistance TO It's IN

questions in the affirmative then you
