SENDING GOODIES TO SOLDIERS
Winneshiek County Sending Big Box
Eatables to Camp Dodge.

Some time ago a request was made
to Messrs. John Bradish and I. w.
Brunt, of the local exemption board
here to get together a box of eata-
bles for the Winneshiek county BOYS
at Camp Dodge. The gentlemen took
the matter up with Treasurer Bear
of the Red Cross, the Commercial
Club got busy AID Calmar, Ft. Akin
son and Ossian people joined in the
movement, and as a result a great
big box of apples, oranges, candy,
popcorn, cigars, etc, was made up
and shipped today to Camp Dodge for
our soldier boys. 1t is mighty nice
thing to do and will be much appreci-
ated by the soldier boys, we are sure.
When the boys know the stuff came
from the folks back home, it will
taste all the better to them, AID here
is wishing them all a Merry Christ
mas and Happy New Year.

TWO DEooRAHIANs ENLIST.
Orval Ellington and Oliver Lansrud
Join the Army.

Sheriff o. o. Ellingson received
word from his son Orval, who has
been working in the Presho State
Bank for Harry Dixson at Presho, S.
D., the past year, that he had en-
listed at FIT. Pierre in the Quarter
masters Dept. He left at once for St.
Louis and goes from there to San
Antonio, Texas. Orval is just past
eighteen years of age, and the fact of
him enlisting shows that he is made
of the right kind of stuff, and wants
to do his bit for Uncle Sam. He is a
husky young fellow, possessed of a
good education and just the kind of
a young man who will give a good
account of himself wherever Uncle
Sam puts him.
Oliver Lansrud is another young
WinIeshiek county boy, who enlist
ed last week in Montana His home is
in Springfield township, but he has
been in Montana for five years on a
homestead. He enlisted at Fort
George, Wright, Wash, and has gone
to Camp Kelly at San Antonio, Texas.
