The service flag is a matter of es-

hard for anyone refusing to take a
membership to explain to his neigh
Dor and especially to his wife and
children why he has not a flag dis
played in his window on Christmas

We are not personally recomm end

if any generous individual wants to
give more he should designate some
one else, either a friend, a poor
neighbor, a child or one of the boys
in the trenches For membership.
Remember this is a special Christ
mas campaign as a tribute in form
of additional help to our boys and
their allies who are bearing the
brunt of this war.
Any homes or places of business
which do not display the service win

visited and persuaded to become

We must back our boys, save their
lives and make them think of home,
mother, sister and sweetheart as

you as you may depend upon us to
do everything to make this campaign
the most successful.

CHURCH
DEDICATED SUNDAY
Impressive Dedicatory Sermon by the
Rev. l.. o. Baird of Seattle, Early
Day Pullman Pastor

Impressive ceremonies marked the
dedication last Sunday afternoon of
the new house of worship of the Fed
Grated churches, just recently COM
pleted The new edifice was filled
to capacity. The dedicatory sermon
was preached by the Rev. l.. o. Baird
of Seattle early-day pastor of the
Pullman Congregational church
while the dedication prayer was
given by the Rev. J. II. Bainton of
Colfax. The program included also
greetings from the Ministerial asso-
citation, comprising the pastors of the
city, and a number of excellent mu-
steal numbers.
The new church building, together
with the lot upon which it stands,
represents a total cost Of only Sill
600, yet in its extreme simplicity and
careful arrangement for convenience
it represents the ideal in modern
church edifice construction. Every
cent of the cost of the new building
has been pledged by the membership,
placing the church in a position to
enter its new home unhampered by
the burden of debt which has re-
duced the efficiency of so many in

WHAT HAVE YOU FOR
RED CROSS AUCTION
Farmers and Merchants Are Com
tributing Liberally-l'riVate
Citizens Are DereliCt-
DO Your Part

Who will bid in a half ton of
hay donated by a patriotic farm
er for the big Red Cross auction sale
to be held Saturday, December %?
Who will pay the highest price for
set of harness donated by another
farmer, for a set of collars donated
by harness maker, for phono-
graph given by a music dealer? Then
there will be fruit, potatoes, butter,
eggs, chickens, live stock and divers
other farm produce already offered
by Pullman's enterprising farmers.
The merchants are giving literally
from their stock Of goods But the
big question now confronting the
chamber of commerce committee in
charge of the Red Cross auction sale
is how to get the private citizen and
the professional man, those men and
women who are neither raising farm
produce nor have goods to sell to do
his part in the big event, designed to
raise needed money for the Pullman
Red Cross, an institution which has
brought much valuable advertising
to Pullman as well as doing more
than it's share toward alleviating the
suffering of our soldiers and minis
tering to their comforts.
Every householder certainly has
some article which he can spare for
the good cause that will bring few
pennies for the Red Cross work.
Bring forth those disable toys which
your children have outgrown, a few
jars of fruit or jelly. a piece or two
of handwork, a piece of furniture, or
anything that someone else might
want. That will be doing half of
your duty. Then attend the big sale
and bid in those articles which you
have use for at fair price. That
will constitute the other half Of your
duty, and you will be in a position
70 enjoy the Christmas season secure
in the knowledge that you have not
shirked, that you have done that
which will bring relief or comfort to
soldier, in distress.
Get in the game Make it the big
gest and most successful event in the
history Of Pullman. Invoice your
possessions, then get in touch with
some member of the committee and
tell him what you have to offer
Don't wait till the last minute.
The auction will be held in the
Red Cross rooms in the white brick
building at Main and Grand at 1870
on the afternoon Of Saturday, De

the most forceful and impressive of
any delivered in this section of the

FOOTBALL TEAM IS
HONORED BY CITY
Chamber of Commerce Pays Tribute
to Coach Dietz and His Champion
Team

Coach William H. Dietz and the
members of the two conference
champion State College football team
were honored guests of the chamber
OF commerce at luncheon in the
chamber rooms Tuesday noon. The
/ city's tribute to the team and its
coach and trainers was paid by DR.. A.
Il. Archer, who eulogized the coach
and his men for their remarkable
| string of victories and the hard work,
determination, spirit, and efficiency
that made them possible
The State College has during the
past year won two signal and highly
appreciated victories over the State
University said DR.. Archer. "The
first of these victories was won in
the legislative halls, with President
e. o. Holland in command Of our
forces. The second great victory was
won on the Seattle gridiron last
Thanksgiving day, with Coach Will
lam II. DlCiA at illC lltlll VI the Dldlb
College forces. Both victories were
clean cut and decisive. Neither was
sullied by dirty politics nor dirty
play"
In introducing Coach Dietz Pres-
dent f. W. Thorpe of the chamber
called attention to the system of
coaching employed by him as with
out a superior in the annals of the
great college game.
THE war has worked a great
change in the athletic situation of
the State College and every other in
stitution," said Coach Dietz, land
this may be my last appearance be-
fore the people of Pullman and my
football men. But whatever tran
spires, the fellowship and confidence
which | have enjoyed during three
years in Pullman will be treasured
by me wherever / may be. In dis
cussing the question rs football
worth WHILE Coach Diet2 mentioned
as among the most valuable lessons
learned by the football man the abil-
ity to use his own resources to best
advantage; to play clean, fair
game; to practice self-control and
self-sacrfice, and to give his whole
hearted support to a cause bigger
than his own selfishness. THE foot
ball player learns teamwork, laying
the foundation for his participation
in bigger affairs as a definite cog in
the worlds machine" said Coach
Dietz. HE develops character, gains
that confidence and stimulates that
ambition to give his best and to excel
that will prove of wonderful assist
ance in after life.
Short talks were made by Assist
ant Physical Director Leslie Clough,
Captain Zimmerman. Captain-elect
Dick Hanley, "Bing" Bangs, ST.
Sites, and Hack" Applequist, all
of whom gave undivided credit to
Coach Dietz for the remarkable sue
cess of the team during the three
years he has been at the helm, all
laying stress on the fact that he has
taught only clean, gentlemanly foot
ball and has taught 1t in clean,
gentlemanly way. Each expressed a
desire for the return OF the coach
next year.
President f. o. Holland expressed
the hope that the football men would
carry the spirit, courage and deter
mination which they have gained as
a result of their gridiron training in
to the bigger walks Of life, making 1t
of use to humanity and to the nation

A PRAYER.\

Let me do my work each day, and
If the darkest hours of dispair over
come me, may l not forget the
strength that comforted me in the
desolation OF other times. May still
remember the bright hours that found
me walking over the silent hills of
my childhood or dreaming on the mar
gin OF the quiet river; when a light
glowed within me and l promised my
early God to have courage amid the
tempests Of the changing years. Spare
me from bitterness and from the sharp
passions Of unguarded moments. May
not forget that poverty and riches
are OF the spirit. Though the world
know not, may my thoughts and ac-
tions be such as to keep me friendly
with myself. Lift my eyes from the
earth and let me not forget the uses
Of the stars. Forbid that I should
judge others, lest condemn myself.
Let me not follow the Glamour of the
world, but walk calmly in my path
Give me a few friends that will love
me for what I am; and keep ever
burning before my vagrant steps the
kindly light of hope. And though age
and fnfirmity overtake me, and come
not within the castle OF my dreams,
teach me still to be thankful for life,
and for times olden memories that
are good and sweet; and may the
evenings twilight find me gentle still
