than q half million Germans have
been sacrificed to the ambition Of q

surrender and that Victory even
though dearly bought will ultimate

During intermissions q group OF
young misses from the High School

amongst the audience with pledge

the allotment for this county, there
was long continued applause.

Completeness of Evening

The Third Liberty Loan drive op-
ened in the High school auditorium
last Saturday evening moGt auspi-
ciously.
The splendid hall was comfortably
| filled with an audience sympathetic
and responsive. and made clear by
the results of the canvass for sub
scriptions that it was read to prove
by deeds that do your best" rather
than do your bit" is the motto for
this crisis.
Unstinted praise is due the group
of ladies under the Craftsmanship Of
Mrs. G. M. Gardner of the Womans

telligence in planning the excellent
and appropriate program added SO
materially to the success of the even

of preliminary work may be found
in the generous response of the aud

the high school, in addition to which
were number from private homes
One of the most impressive feat
ures of the decorations were the two
panels on either side of the stage
with the inscription Churchill County
Roll of Honor, underneath which
were separate cards strung together
listing the names of 141 boys now
serving their country.
The tableaux were most effective,
excellently designed and perfectly
portrayed.
One of the agreeable surprises of
the evening was the display of a
heretofore carefully concealed tai

recitation of an original poem. which
heads this column. the rendering of
which and the patriotic sentiments
it expressed finding their highest

of the audience.
District Attorney Geo. J. Kenny
was chairman of the evening and an
nounced as the first number of the
tableaux, 1.-THE Cross That Saves. y
At the left of the stage was a Red
Cross, clinging to the foot of which
was a nurse, symbolic of ''The Cross
That Saves; on the opposite side of
the stage was a cross draped in
black and at its foot the figure of
woman in mourning gcrb, this SYM

full pose standing between the two
crosses was a figure representative of
the Angelic Presence. and lying on
