bers of the Russian colony here show
that nothing is known OF the report

The previous report that the grand
duchess had escaped from Siberia and
gone to the United States Is doubted
by Madame Olga Novikoff. Russian
political writer who says in the Post
that the public should beware of
canards now coming from Russia.
Madame Novikoft says the only son of
Count Fredericks was killed in, the

into this when I felt it was my duty
to, but had been at home eating
Thanksgiving dinner with you, my
conscience would have troubled me,
and you know, each one of you, that
II had 'squealed' about leaving my
family and the business you would
have lost your respect for me by this
time.
when I know of so many men try
ing by every means to eVade service
and letting someone else do their
fighting for them, my consolation lies
in the thought that the time is COM
ing when the yellow bellies and
'slackers' will be forced to come up
and do their share, and when that
time does come they are going to have
the hard end of the to hoe
THE deeper we get into this the

School picnic, but a terrible and
awfully serious matter in which
Christionity, and civilization. and
honor and everything that makes: life
| worth living, will go down almost to
ruin and death, but not quite, for
God still sits on His throne, although
| tho devil seems to be running things
with a pretty free hand just now
And so, folks ALL don't get dis
couraged.
LAS father sometimes says, the
worst is yet to come but it will be for
Germany and her friends, for no one
realizes, except those who are in 1t

will be when it really gets to work.

TT is wonderful to think Of what
the whole perfected machine will do
when it gets going. And every man
of suitable age, whose presence at

wanted, and those in it should be
| proud of it, and those not in it should
ask themselves, and have the question

Now, dear folks, 1T is time for busl>

pardon me If I unduly damned
the Stacker, and pardon me if I damn

put the fear of God in his heart, to
put red blood in his VEINS and to

for us who are in it.

URGENT DEMAND
FOR MORE WORKERS
Is the Appeal Of the Surgical
Dressings Committee
EXCELLENT WORK DONE

! May Establish Red Cross Branch in
Their Services to Uncle sam for
Military Service.
The following communication which
explains itself was received at the
Herald Office today from the surgical
dressings committee:
Dec. 1. 1917
1.-THE surgical dressings committee
wishes to correct the statement made
in the Plainville column of the New
Britain Herald" last evening under
the heading, Doing Their Bit" in
which it was mentioned that the
Minor home had been thrown open
to the women of the town wishing to
| knit and sew for the Red Cross.
The surgical dressings work, while
affiliated with the Red Cross, does
not include a full list of Red Cross
work.
ut does not include knitting and
sewing
1.-THE surgical dressings, as the name
implies, includes only such work as
concerns the dressing and care OF
wounds.
The Minor home has been donated
for this purpose, which patriotic cour-
tesy is most greatly appreciated by
the townspeople in general, and par
surgical dressings
The work of the surgical dressings
requires great care. and the local
workers have turned out most excel
lent work, and in liberal quantities.
There. however. Is no end to the
amount of dressings that can be used,
and more workers are wanted all the
time.
When the surgical dressings work
first started here. the material turned
out was, naturally, only for the
wounded Of our Allies. In the future,
it will be needed for our own wound
ed as we'll and more work than ever
will have to be done, and 1t Is great
| ly urged that all possible. get in d.
| rect connection with this work.
ANY information can be obtained
from the chairman, Mrs. Edwin Hills.
ut might be added that there has
| been considerable talk of establishing
a Red Cross branch in town, where
| many who cannot take up surgical
| dressings work, can knit and sew.
There certainly is a great need for
every woman to engage to the limit
of her capacity in some sort of War
Relief work. Those not engaged in
surgical dressings work, might we'll be
| assisting III other lines under the di-
rection Of a fully organized local Red
| Cross committee, and it is hoped that
! such a committee can be organized.
although at the present time such an

Exhibit A Success

The Art Exhibit of the Elson pictures at the w. C. Bill hall was well patronized. There were POO pictures on exhibition from Wednesday till Monday morning. Through the kindness of the managers the hall was kept open Sunday afternoon, free of charge for all.
 It has been the regret of many that the pictures could not be kept longer. The study of them mas been worth while. It is un- usual for town the size of Oz- ark to secure such a collection, and the exhibit has been instruc- tive to the children as well as to older people.
 The managers are under many to Mir. and Mrs. Will son for their valuable services. to w. (. Bill for use of the hall free of charge and to Elsey liar ris and Garland Hamm for favors.

Postmaster Fleeman informs us that the department has granted Ozark village delivery. and that the service will begin June l.
 There will be two deliveries to the business houses and one to the residences each day. Six boxes will be placed about town for mailing your letters and each residence must have box placed in a convenient place to receive mail.
 This improvement will be very acceptable to a large part of our citizens. especially to the ladies who can not come to town every day. Some of the men who use getting the mail as an excuse for coming to town to loaf will pos sibly do some kicking and will have to puzzle their brains for g new excuse.
