Organization was effected on Tues.
day afternoon, every man answering
to his name. In the evening the young
soldiers, with the band in lead, march
ed to the Star theatre, where a sec
tion of the auditorium was reserved
for them. Exercises opened with en-
thusiastic demonstration when Presi-
dent Wilson's picture ami the flag
were flashed on the screen.
Senator Bennett responded to the
subject assigned him: "Why is the
United States Involved in the WARP"
He cited international treaties, The
Hague conference and other things
TO demonstrate how Germany has
l5isregarded every compact; how she

countrymen and our property on the

merce of ueutrals. I'VE are" he said,
"a thousand times more obligated to
defend our own rights and the rights
of humanity than We we're in the
| Spanish-American war. He urged
the young soldiers to maintain the
| high standard of their forefathers in
| the great Civil war.
This morning opened with a drizzl-
ing rain and necessarily the program
was carried out in the court room.
Hundreds of people were unable TO
! gain entrance. The band gave three
selections. Col. Butt and Comradt FL.

of 1860 in the speaking, and they did
il in most feeling terms. Rev. j. II.
Bullock and Judge Mahoney spoke for
the community in patriotic spirit.
Prof Aug. f. Smith presented an in
sigma of the state and community, and
the young ladies of his training school
and the high school pinned badges of
honor on the breast of each soldier.

Grams of 1865 following with the flag,
the new select soldiers next, then Boy
Scouts, the schools and citizens on

was shortened because of rain. At
the train time was afforded for fare
wells, ana they were fearful on part
of soldiers, relatives and friends, but
the boys left like true patriots with
hurrahs in their voices. The crowd
was very extensive and the demonstra-

Jesus loves this town. He loves
its people.
He would give himself for them in
service, even to the point Of sacrifice
ing all that He might claim as His
oWn-time, comfort, convenience. :
He has said that He would give His
life for His fTiends-a man couldn't
do more than this.
That's why Jesus, the citizen, may
have anything that He wants in this
town. The wonderfully strange thing
about it is that he doesn't want ia
vOrs-He's quite willing that others
should have them, and He is all the
time pouring them into others lives.
He is great-just as a citizen-He
doesn't need any other hOnOrs in or
der to stand out - recognized for
what He is worth.

JESUS: AMERICAN CITIZEN"-LOVE THE
SUPREME THING IN HIS LIFE
JESUS:

Dur MEME i I'LL
BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE
To Jesus, love is the supreme
thing in life. It overshadows every
thing else-citizenship, politics, JUS
tice, religions, business and all that
engages the attention of men!
He says love is the greatest thing
in the wOTld-it is "the fulfilling of
the law"
This is what makes his own love
so wonderful. It isn't a vague, van
ishing thing-sOmething that disap-
pears into thin air when you need it
most, and expect most from tit is
strong, passionate, manly.
Neither is it so cOlOrless and gen.
eraI that it means little to individ-
uals. The love of Jesus attracts men
little groups of them have gotten
closer to him than the crowd.
One mana fisheTman-is known
as ''tbe one whom Jesus loves -
only because he seems to understand
Jesus better than the rest Of us.
His home is always open to those
who wish to know him.
Sometimes men come to him by
night to talk out their hearts. And
Jesus never deals in platitudes that
sound fine enough, but never get you
anywhere.
It's because He puts His own heart
into His speech that men are won by
Him-you quickly see that it is love
which prompts Him-He cares little
about fine phrases.
When men call on Jesus He speaks
in plain, rugged language which eV-
erybody can understand.
Neighborliness is one of His chief
Charms.t
Somebody asked Him one day:
''And who is my neighbour" And He
told a story - parable - about
man in this town, who is despised
because of his race. This man
