WHEN YOUR
own SON
lies dead

The Red Gross has issued to this
country an appeal for assistance, an
appeal for funds The Red Cross will
attempt to open the hearts of the
country at large It is a difficult task
Your brothers tell you their sons lie
dead. Your heart aches, and you try
to understand it. You feel it-You
think you feel it. But it is not your
son, and you have no conception, even
though he be one of the nearest you
have in the world to you, of what your
brother feels. 1t is your brothers son
that lies dead. In six months, in three
months, in one month your own son
lies dead 1t is for every one of us to
bring before this country now what
it feels like to have our own son lying
dead there. The Red Cross is about
to issue the S. 0. S. call to this coun-
try, to save it from ignorance, from
Indifference, from carelessness, from
selfishness."
at is a different task, but 100000
600 must be raised immediately"

UNITED STATES
BOYS WORKING
RESERVE

About the first of August, so we are
informed, there is likely to be a short
age in the labor supply aggregating
two million (2,OOO,OOO) men. This
shortage in the labor must be supplied
II to supply it is possible, from other
than the usual sources. These last
will be strained to the breaking point.
In order to meet this imminent need
the United States Department of La
Dor has effected the organization of
what it calls the United States Bows
Working Reserve. The Reserve pro-
poses to make thoroughly available all
able-bodied boys thruout the United
States, between the ages of sixteen and
twenty years inclusive, for labor chief
ly in agriculture and in industry. The
Reserve desires to impress upon boys
OF these ages that the service that it
IS asking of them is a service as thor
oily patriotic and as thoroIy necessary
as military service itself. Every SOL
der takes the Oath of Allegiance to
he United States. Every boy {, f the
United States Boys Working Reserve
will be asked to take the like Oath.
Every soldier enlisted in the armies,
and every sailor enlisted in the ma
vies, Of the United States wears the
badge of his service. Every boy en-
listed in the United States Boys Work
ing Reserve will have given to him,
upon condition, badge that declares
him to be member of the Reserve,
and signifies that he is doing his part
to serve his country in her hour of
need.
A very large number of Wisconsin
boys has responded to the call of the
State Council of Defense and is at
work on the farms and in the shops
and mills thruout the State. 1t would
dignity the labor Of these boys if they
could feel, one and all, that they are
members of a National organization,
and that the NATION recognizes, by
some appropriate outward and visible
sign, the value Of their service.

"WhereIl [ look, grandpa ~

DEATHOF JOHN
]. hazard

We are called upon to write the obit-
uary of another old friend and citizen
in the person of John J. Hazard who
has been resident Of our city for at
least 20 years back that we know of.
He was an old citizen, a good friend
and neighbor, and an oil soldier who
has done his duty to his government
and country and in every way was an
ideal citizen. We mourn his absence.
He has been in poor health for several
years and for the last year he has
been confined to the house for most
of the time and for the last two months
he has been confined to mis- bed His
principle trouble was his heart and
liver, which was the immediate cause
Of his death. He died at his family
residence on Friday, June 18th, 1917,
at II p. m.
John J. Hazard was born in York
State in 1841. He came west as a
young man to grow up with the then
growing country. He came to Grand
Rapids about 20 years ago and was
married. Soon thereafter he entered
into the mercantile business. He and
his wife conducted the business until
seven years ago when they retired
from active duty. He leaves his wife
and a foster daughter, Thelma Young,
who is twelve years old to mourn his
death. He was a member of The 9th
Wisconsin Battery and served in the
Civil War a little over two years. He
was a devoted member of the NJ. E.
church in this city and an active mem
Der of the G. A. R. Post.
Those who knew him best admired
him most because they fully realized
his excellent traits Of character. A
good man has gone to his reward.
The funeral service took place Non
day afteroon at 2 o'clock from the VI,
E. church Of which he was a long time
member. Rev. C. C. Becker officiating,
Members of the G. A r Post and Wo-
mems Relief Corps attended the sa~-
vices in a body in honor of the depart
ed brother. A large number of cit.-
zens and friends paid their respects to
an old friend and neighbor. Bur al
took place in Forest Hill cemetery.
