Cutshaw is one of eleven bod
gers who saw the shine taken OH
several hundred gold dollars sea-
son. but he is the only one who has
taken the stand that it's better not

Unlike Tuesday nights game the

Sold;ers' Fund Gross:
Strand Clues 1850

The Marshall county fund which IL
being raised to provide gifts for the
men who have gone into the army
and who will SO later continues tc
grow. The latest and largest addition
to. 1t was s135.7o. the gross receipts
Of the exhibition OF the war pictures
at the Strand Theater Friday. All the
expenses Of the performances were
paid by the managers Of the theater.
The following additional amounts to
add to the fund have been reported to
j. r.. Northcott. chairman of the COM
mittee: I.ennox Furnace Company,
$50; Western Grocer Company, $3.50;
chine Products Company, sac; c. A.
Durham Company, ss5. These sums
include the amounts contributed by the
employees Of these companies. In
dividua subscriptions which have been
secured by Frank Ryder, and others,
who have contributed voluntarily,
amounting to 1867, have also been
turned into the fund.
The Marshall on Company, NJ. & st,
L. railroad and the LaPlant Tool Com
pany, are now raising subscriptions,
but as more money is urgently needed
the committee is hopeful that those
who have not yet contributed. will do
so Immediately. In case there should
be any misunderstanding in the mat
ter, the members of the committee are
anxious that 1t be made clear that the
fund will provide for not only those
who will go, but that 1t will include
those who have already gone. The
gifts will be forwarded to each and
every one as fast as they can be
reached.
A new feature Of the work now be-
ing undertaken by the committee is the
compilation OF card index system.
that will contain the name, home ad-
dress. arm OF service. location and
parents address, with other informa-
ton which will make a complete reg
lister Of every man in the service who
has gone from Marshall county. The
cooperation Of parents, and others,
who can furnish information Of this
character. viii be appreciated by those
in charge Of the work.
In addition to this plan is now be-
ing worked ont by which different in
dividuals will be given a number OF
names of the men who have gone. and
who will agree to correspond and keep
In touch with them. thus increasing
the bond Of fellowship and reminding
them that tho they are far from home
in the service OF their country they are
by no means forgotten.
