Planned Sunday

A rabbit drive IL scheduled to take
Mace Sunday In the country to the
north OF Sugar City and Ordway. ana
a, a.aO O'Clock on that morning the
rabbits will have to seek deeper

IN by men from the towns in this
county and from Rocky Ford, swink
and Cheraw.
There are thosuands OF rabbits on
the prairies and they are becoming
80 numerous that crops are peing
molested by them. 1t Is because OF
this that the farmers rather encour-
100 hunters to help themselves.

Says Broadbent

At the union service last sunday
night at the Evangelical church
County Commissioner William Broad
bent, who is also treasurer OF the
Crowley County chapter OF the Amer
lean Red Cross. made an address IN
behalf of the Red Cross and the
membership campaign. He stated
\ that at the outset OF the war the slo-
| gan was "Do our bit," but that that
slogan had been outgrown ana must
of necessity be changed to DO our
utmost" He stated that 1t was nec-
essary for everyone to make rea-
sonable sacrifice and asked ana an
swered the question as to what
reasonable sacrifice might be. he
pointed out the sacrifices many, IN
fact hundreds of thousands OF young
men were making to serve their
country. They are giving their time.
sacrificing their business. their usuai
pleasures. their home and friends, In
fact they may sacrifice their very
lives for this county, and thou
sands of them will and good many
have already done this since the out
set of the war.
II is necessary. he contended, that
those who remain at home go beyond
doing bit, and that tkey should do
their utmost. Women are needed
in the local Red Cross sewing rooms.
Materials must be made for the sol
diers in the trenches and surgical
bandages and other hospital supplies
must be furnished for the vast army
of wounded who are in the hospitals.
He cited the fact that so many surgi-
I,a, ,,l irnI
the supply is so limited that 1t is now
necessary that bandages be washed
and rewashed to be us d the second
and third times for lack of an amount
sufficient to handle the cases. These
things cannot be helped because the
women of this country are not sup
plying enough of them. These things
may cause the loss of many lives
wherein If plenty of clean surgical
were supplied recovery of
wounded men would be more sure.
Some women are doing all they can
and are working faithfully at surgi-
cal bandage making and knitting
supplies. but more of them are
needed.
What is reasonable sacrifice? |
Here is case of utmost sacrifice, as |
handed down in history thru a letter
PRESIDENT Lincoln wrote Mrs. BlSDS .
II Boston. Mass. in 1864:
Executive Mansion.
Washington, Nov. 21. 1864
To Mrs. BiXby, Boston Mass:
Dear Madam have been
shown in the files of the war de-
partment a statement of the ad-
iutant general of Massachusetts
that you are the mother of five
sons who have died gloriously
on the field of battle. l feel how
weak and fruitless must be any
word of mine which should at
tempt to beguile you from the
grief of loss so overwhelming.
But l cannot refrain from ten
dering you the consolation that
may be found in the thanks Of
the republic they died to save.
l pray that our Heavenly Father
may assuage the anguish OF
your bereavement and leave you
only the cherished memory OF
the loved and lost. and the SOL
emn pride that must be yours to
have paid so costly a sacrifice
upon the altar of freedom.
Yours very sincerely and re-
spectfully, A. LINCOLN.
