RED CROSS FUND RAISED
TOTALS $50 - MORE COMING

Columbus raised for the Red
Gross the sum Of s5i9.t5 during the
week designated by the President as
Red Cross week. This amount was
all paid in and has been forwarded
10 the proper place, and does not
include a few subscriptions that
have not yet been paid, neither does
Il include $50 due for the sale Of
tickets 10 the dance that has not
yet ben received by the finance COM
millee. hut will be paid in soon.
The nrsl dance after the payment
Of expenses showed a profit Of 5000
and the cash receipts after the ex-
penses were paid from the dance
Saturday night were si5365. Dona-
tions were s23l. 80. and the receipts
from the Columbus Theatre Sunday
were siOA75, making a total OF
S5lo.l5.
The committee failed 10 announce
the amounts subscribed which have
not yet been collected, but the a.
mount will be published later.
There were very few men who
took any active part in the cam
paign. and the credit for the show
ing made is due 10 the ladies Of the
town with the exception Of the part
taken by the hospital boys In CIV
ing the dance. Some Of the busi'
ness houses were never asked L
subscribe, and others turned dowr
the ladies', men who would not have
had the nerve TO utrn down a maj
on a proposition Of this kind.
Taking everything into consider
alton Columbus did exceedingl!
well and the amount raised was al
that could have been expected.

This sentiment indicates the intense

possible for the Allies to secure large
quantities Of edibles here, but feeding
Europe can be done while feeding the
United States by expanding our own crop

exactly these things are the goals Of Mr..

A NEW CHAPTER

MAY ao' 1898 closed one chapter in our
Ava history forever. May 30. 1917, opens
a new one. On Memorial Day nineteen
years ago the nation honored the sons
OF North and South who had met again
and died in battle for an ideal Of free
! dom-but this time as comrades, not
as foes. In the past two years $4,000
some say 50,OOO-men of North and
South have gone to a farther flung battle
line in a fight for precisely the same
cause that took us into Cuba. Many
Of them lie nameless in unmarked
graves. They OWNED that their country
in spirit was with them, though still
neutral. They gave up the rights Of
citizenship. But today they return TO
the fold. They are now, these sons Of
ours in graves so far from home, some
thing more than citizens of our past
They are citizens Of our future. They
were our vanguard.
Memorial Day will never be quite the
same again. We Lad thought freedom
was safe. We had not dreamed the old
sacrifices would have to be made again
Suddenly we are forced to realize that
we have not been grateful enough to
the old men Of the sixties. Their history
which was part of our schoolbooks
seemed a thing detached from them, al.
though many Of the men who made that
history still were with us. But now we
are plunged back into the terrible reali.
ties Of the sixties again. The heroes of
those days see on our streets the young
men in uniform and think of those
other young men, so like those of today,
who died gloriously on the field Of honor
ffty-odd years ago In paying tribute to
the memory of the young Americans who
died at Verdun and on the Somme, we
must realize that the graves we used to
decorate as those of "old veterans" were
those really of young veterans. We fol-
low in the path they made.
