TWO MORE BOYS DOWN WITH
SCARLETINA AT DONIPHAN

Mrs. George Etherington received
letter from her son, Sergt William
Etherington, and he says that on Sat
urday evening two more boys were
taken i'll with scarletina. Only two
days more and the company would
have been free--but two more boys
will now keep the quarantine on the
company for three weeks.
When each man Is over the disease.
he is released and goes in with the
Missouri regiment and of course the
officers are reduced. Sergeant Eth
erington is still in quarantine and 30
has not been reduced. The reduc-
ton is more pleasant than the quar-
antine, however.

SOLOMON WOMAN is 400
AND TAKES LIE CHEERILY

Mrs. Elizabeth Driscoll OF Solo
mon is the oldest person in Dickin
son, according to the Solomon Trib-
Iune. She was born In Ireland Jan
uary 4, 1911, and came to this
country more than sixty years ago.
For many years she made her home
in Georgia, moving from there to
Indiana, and coming from there to
Kansas. For the past eight years
she has made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. NJ. B. Sullivan. Her
husband died some twenty years ago.
Mrs. Driscoll looks to be as old as
she says. Her face Is badly wrin-
killed. and her hands have withered to
almost nothing. This condition is
caused entirely from age as her
daughter says she never knew her
to have a severe sick spell, and as
Mrs. Driscoll puts 1t. her doctor bills
have been mighty slim.

PURPLE GROSS TO BRING
BACK BODIES FROM BATTLE

The Purple Cross is an organiza'
ton which is formed to bring back
the bodies from the battle fields in
stead OF having them buried some
where in France" 1t is a comfort
to parents to know that If their boy
should be killed, his body will be
brought home for burial. The first
Americans killed on the battle fields
of Europe were buried in France.
There Is now an act in congress
which, if passed, will give an organ
ization of undertakers the right TO
bring the bodies home from Europe
for burial.
In order to show congress that
the people OF the nation stand be-
hind this act. an appeal will be sent
from every city in the United States
that the bill be passed. II. X.
Eicholtz is soliciting signers for
Abilene wont have to pay any
thing, either. This organization costs
you nothing. II Mr.. Eicholtz doesn't
meet you and ask you to sign the
call at his Office and sign
