CPEAKING OF Red Cross and economy
~ and that sort of thing, I overheard
two girls, respectively daughters of two Of
the members of the committee of fifteen
who have been named to look after the
welfare Of the city during the war time,
discussing where they could lunch most
economically and a slot effect cafe was
outdone in the discussion by a window
wherein they sighted a sign, "Scrapple,"
and leaving the car they headed for the
restaurant to eat hot cakes and scrapple
to the tune of about fifteen or twenty
cents. / fear the Ritz, Bellevue and
various tearooms will suffer from these
sudden attacks of desire for scrapple on
the part Of these enterprising maidens.
One is tall and fair and made her debut
last year, while the second is rather
dark and was a feted deb of the last sea
son. Both are the daughters OF leading
flnanciers of the city. Could you guess?
Mind, I'm not laughing. l think it's fine
for each to add his or her little quota of
sacrifice for the general good. I wonder
II many Of us realize how much good
will be done in these times to character
So few persons have solid principles
these days, and so few who have them
live up to them. They forget God and
principles and what is there to hold them
Suffering may bring them to. Let us
hope it will. NANCY WYNNE.

Floats for the Fourth.

The business men and all others
who own cars are invited to join the
big Fourth of July parade with a
float. 1t is impossible for the COM
mittee in charge to solicit everybody
personally, hence this public invita-
ton. 1t is designed to have pa
rade of floats second to none ever
seen here on previous public days.
If any Of the parties have decorations
they used for float on the last wa
termelon day, two years ago, still
have these decorations on hand, and
do not intend to use them, will
kindly notify julius Bermann. he
will try to see that they are used
by somebody who wants to join the
parade. The invitation to have a
float is extended to everybody, farm
ers in the country as well as towns
people.

Stealing Tomato Plants.

A short time ago it was reported
that in the west end of town some
sneak thief had dug up lot of pota-
toes that had been planted. taking
them probably to be used by himself
as seed There is now another brand
of thieving going on. A few even
ings ago resident of the Third
ward discovered that somebody had
entered his garden and pulled up a
number of tomato plants, carrying
them away. 1t is unfortunate that
the culprits cannot be caught at this
nefarious work and made to suffer
the consequences. 1t is not the in
trinsioe value of the stuff taken that
irritates the loser, but the knowledge
of the fact that people capable of do
ing such things find an abode in civ
ilized communities and are enabled
to do lot of damage to industrious
folk who take a Just pride in their
gardens.

A White Squirrel.

Stratford Courier: A pure white
squirrel was caught by E. E. Spur
ling on the farm east Of Stratford
and is being exhibited at the o. E.
Nerby drug store this week. The
little animal looks like the ordinary
squirrel except that it is pure white
and has pink eyes. For company for
the white squirrel Mr.. Squirting
caught an ordinary ground squirrel
and placed the two in cage to-
gether, and it is fact that they
were evidently honey" animals, for
on Tuesday a whole litter of teeny
little squirrels arrived at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Squirrel, and at last
reports were doing nicely.

Between $10,5oo and $1,000 Sub
scribed for This Most Eff
cient and Worthy Or
ganization.
THE PEOPLE RESPOND NoBLY
varick c. Crosley, President of the
Hamilton County Chapter
Entitled to Credit.

The weeks campaign for the Red
Cross in Hamilton county closed last
night, and the closing witnesses COM
plete success. The effort through
out the nation was to secure $780,
100000 within the week for the Red
Cross society, and Hamilton county's
apportionment was $1,000, being a
part of the division west of the Mis-
sissippi river to raise 100000.
The result of the nationwide cam
paign is not yet known, but there
is every reason to believe that con-
siderably more than the 100000
600 was raised.
Hamilton county did nobly, the
subscriptions in this county reach
ing between $1O,500 and $1,000,
the exact sum not yet being known,
as subscriptions sent by mail are
still coming in. President Crosley
of the Hamilton county chapter will
prepare a detailed statement of sub
scriptions later on. He is we'll
pleased with the result. He says all
nationalities and all creeds and be-
liefs and all sects and clans respond
ed nobly. A few slackers there were,
of course, but the great body of the
people responded literally and made
it possible for the men and women
in charge to make report to their
superiors that was highly creditable
and satisfactory.
In this connection the Freeman
Tribune wants to commend Mr.. Cros-
ley and those associated with him in
the good work. They gave freely of
their time and money to make the
campaign a success and are entitled
to great credit for results.

Fort Dodge Papers to Consolidate.

The Fort Dodge Chronicle of last
evening announces that the two Fort
Dodge daily newspapers have signed
an agreement to consolidate on July
1, stating that a complete eXplana-
ton will be given in both papers in
a few days. This means, probably,
that Fort Dodge is to have but one
newspaper office hereafter, but it is
likely that morning and evening edi-
tions will be printed.

REGINALD
T. GILMORE WEDS
Miss Mabel Osborn and Well Known
Member of Company G Mar.
ried in Chicago.

a news QlSpdLCu feCelNeu NY Inc
Freeman Tribune this afternoon
states that a marriage license was
issued to Corporal Reginald E. Gill
more of this city and Miss Mabel Os-
born of Ames in Chicago yesterday
afternoon. Corporal Gilmore went
to Chicago Saturday with the inten-
tion of committing matrimony. How
ever, it is a secret. No one knows
anything about it except the young
mans parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
l.. Gilmore, so don't mention it to
anybody else.
The bride and groom are childhood
friends and the marriage comes as a
happy elimination to their years of
friendship. The bride is daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. p. B. Osborn, who
resided near here twenty years ago.
Mr.. Osborn conducted Bones mill at
one time. 1t was when the family
lived near here that the bride and
groom of today, who were then small
children, first met. Later the Os-
born family moved to Ellsworth,
where Mr.. Osborn was also in the
milling business. The bride was
graduated from the Ames high school
and later from the Oceana County
Normal at Hart, Mich, her parents
present home. At the conclusion Of
her schooling there she studied mu-
sic and graduated from the music de-
partment at the State college in
Ames. Since her graduation she has
been saleslady in Tilden's depart
ment store in Ames.
Corporal Gilmore is the elder son
Of Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore, who live
south of town, and grandson of Mr..
and Mrs. John Gilmore of this city.
He was graduated from the Webster
City high school with the class of
1913. Later he taught several
terms of school and assisted his ia
| Their with the farm work, until leav-
! ing for California, where he entered
| the University of California at Ber-
| kelley. He had just finished one year
of schooling when he came back to
this city and Joined Company c
| when they were enlisting men for
service during the Mexican trouble.
While serving on the border he rose
| to the position ofaa.cOrporal, and
| shortly after the officers training
school was opened at Fort Smelling,
Mimi, he received a commission to
| try for entrance at that place. He
was rejected, however, on account of
some minor physical ailment, and re-
| entered the ranks Of Company G,
where he was again given his ap-
pointment of corporal.
During a portion of his service on
the border Reginald acted as CORE
%spondent for the FreemanTribune.
The happy couple will leave Chi
cago soon for Michigan to visit the
brides parents at Hart. They will
return here the fore part of July and
make visit with the groom's par
ents and other relatives. Their plans
for the future are, however, indefi-
mite because of the war.
