QUALIFICATION OF CEMETERY

The identifying of the LOrdsburg
cemetery was suggested as a worthy
object for the people of the city by
a prominent citizen the other day.
The truth of this can scarcely be de-
MED. The presence of trees, shrubs
and beautiful flowers in the last rest
ing place of loved ones who have
gone before is always a pleasant
thought for the sOrrOwing and be-
reayed. In accordance with this idea
communities have been beautified
with loving and tender sOlicitude. In
the very early days of the west, the
town cemetery was regarded rather
as the last resting place Of more or
less undesirable citizens who had met
sudden and untimely deaths A pro.
posal TO hestOw special attention or
such a place would have been deemed
impractical. Lordsburg has long
since passed from the category of a
frontier town; il is now an up-tO-
date city with citizens who are not
behind the residents of other cities
Of like size and Importance in their
feeling of prOgressiveness. II a
scarcely be denied that a restful and
shady burying ground is a worthy
ideal for the city to work for. 1t seems
that the main thing needful is for
some organization to take up the
work. Recently there was organized
a club Of Lordsburg ladies for the
bettcrment and improvement of the
city. We can suggest M more worthy
object for them than the making
beautiful of the city cemetery.

Slim Plug has received a big cat
from Cucumber Valley which he turn
ed loose in his livery stable to catch

ton in the barn. He ran there with
all his might and got inside just in
time to save his smallest mule. Slim
says the cat is a bit ne~ar-sighted and
thought the mulo was a well-fed rat.
To give the cat a better means of
identification hereafter, Slim has GU
the mules tail off and if this doesn't
work he says he will try cutting on

Doctor Says Nuxated Iron Will

hard facts there is nothing like good old
iron to put color in your cheeks and good
sound, healthy flesh on your bones. 1t is
also a great nerve and stomach strength

world. The only trouble was that the
old forms of inorganic iron like tincture

peoples teeth, upset their stomachs and
were not assin1ila ted and for these reasons
they frequently did more harm than good
But with the discovery Of the newer
forms Of organic iron all this has been

MEET SATURDAY
To PLAN DRIVE
Christmas Campaign of Red
Cross Will be Discuss
ed Here.

To consider plans for a big Red
Cross Christmas membership drive
chairmen Of Red Cross organiza
tons in the county and all inter
ested persons are 70 meet at the
Chamber of Commerce, Saturday
afternoon. at , O'Clock. This con-
ference has been called by F. a
Miller, who was appointed chairman
of the 18th Indiana congressional
district by George AIDE, state chair
man of the Red Cross drive a
speaker, provided by the state head
quarter, will appear at the meeting
Those attending Saturdays meet
ing Will be invited to visit the Red
Cross rooms and inspect the work
at the close of the session.
Counties which make up the 18th
district are EIkhart, Fulton, Koszci-
usko. Laporte, Marshall. ST. Joseph,
Starke and Porter. the last of which
has been added for this drive. Mr..
Miller has issued the following
statement:
1T is proposed 70 have the drive
in the eight counties as successful
as human effort can make it. To
do this, those directing the drive
in each county must have the most
cordial. most harmonious and most
energetic cooperation of all their as
sistants, as. well as of all the peo-
pie. No one who is possessed of
one spark of patriotism to America
and our allies will for a moment
question the effectiveness of the Red
Cross. To maintain that effective
ness everyone must be willing to
give his support in membership and,
whenever money is needed in addi-
ton that must be forthcoming in
generous quantities. We are going
to win the war but we cannot win
it unless we engage in the most
strenuous and most constant activ-
ity. Some are laboring hard. Others
are doing nothing. The former
should work harder and the latter
should join them and rejoice in the
opportunity.
The conference in South Bend
Saturday is of the utmost import
ance. Every county, city and village
chairman in the eight counties
should be present and be prepared
to participate effectively. 1t is the
intention TO make the district pre-
sent the best percentage showing in
this great Christmas memb ership
drive Of any district in the state.
We in these eight counties can do
this if we will labor sincerely, har-
moniously and increasingly"
