God save our splendid men,
Bring them safe home again,
God save our men.
Keep them victorious,
Patient and chivalrous-
They are so dear to US
God save our men,"
Let pastors, Sunday School superin-
tendents and school teachers copy this
verse and teach it to their congrega-
tions and schools, and sing America,
including this verse, every day in pub
lie schools and every Sunday at church
services. Mrs. L. w. Scott,

committee in making its apportion-

cause merited with the above result.
We believe everybody will be pleased
with .Iasper's showing The following
is list of the subscribers, which is
printed not so much to give public
credit as it is in the nature of receipt,
the committee having had to work so
lfurriedly that in most cases receipts
were not given. If anyone's name is
