Lamar's grand and glorious" Red
Cross Fourth of July has come and
gone. and despite inclemcnt weather,
has been pronounced one of the most
successful community celebrations
ever carried out in the valley.
The net proceeds are reported to
be in the neighborhood of $1,000 and
the local chapter of the American Red
Cross are richer by that sum today
To the people of the surrounding
country and of her sister valley towns,
Lamar desires to express word of
thanks for their presence; for their
never-failing optimism and good hu-
NOR in the face of dreary, rainy day;
cnd for their financial and personal
cooperation in making the Red Cross
Fourth success. You spent you
money literally, friends, and we thank
you. In practically every instance you
got full value received and you should
remember that Lamar women donated
over a thousand home made pies with
which you were fed that dozens of
men and women worked and gave in
order that expenses might be kept
down and profits for the Red Cross
increased; and that bandages and sur
gieal dressings and whatnot that this
money will produce, will go TO help
your boys, as well as our own.
1t was all for good cause and al
most everybody worked and gave and
spent alike. And after all is said and
done. didn't you have genuine good
time?

The Fourth Liberty Loan has been
announced for October of this year and
already the committees all over the
country are beginning to survey the
field and make plans for the campaign.
This loan will be big one.
Nearly a million American boys are
already in France and more are going
across as fast as the ships will take
them. They must have the financial
support of the "army back home" And
the thing has assumed such gigantic
proportions that tag-day methods will
not suffice.
Prowers county will probably have
20 raise and pledge close to salf-s-
million dollars ia October. That
means sacrificed And it means care
full planning and strict saving between
now and the beginning of the cam
paign.
OF course we will do it. But there
must be no slackers. Every citizen
must hear the call and answer it. And
the best possible way is to PREPARE
IN ADVANCE. and keep the matter
on our minds during the next three
or four months.

these are some of the provisions.
Certainly a nation whose diplomats
can have the nerve to propose arraog-
ant terms like this, even in a spirit
of braggadocio, is not whipped yet.
And it is up to us to get in the game
and stay in the game until Prussia's
militarists are forced to take a back
seat and peace can be made on terms
fair to democracy and the right.

TRIED TO CUT OFF F.
 -.- DAUGHTERS HEAD.
crazed Father Had Been Released
 from Norwich State Hospital.

Believed to have gone suddenly in- sane. Salvatore .DeMartino, a laborer of 219 Wallace street, New Haven, grabbed up his year old daughter in their home Thursday afternoon and, with long butcher knife, endeavored to cut the child's head off. Other members of the family, hearing the child's screams, rushed in and over powered the enraged father, while a call was sent in for the police.
 Fortunately, the knife was dull and the father had inflicted only several superficial wounds iE the child's neck. The police had arrived by this time.
 When arraigned before Judge Hoyt in the New Haven city court Friday morning continuance until Saturday was made in the mans case at the re- quest of Prosecutor Sheridan Whita- ker. In the meantime he will be ex- amined by physicians.
 DeMartino, according to the police was committed to the Norwich insane asylum some time ago. Recently, how ever, word reached his family that he was in a precarious condition an6 would probably die. Steps were then taken for his release and he was finally allowed to return to his home.
 Domestic surroundings apparently invigorated the man, it is said, for in stead of sinking lower in health he improved wonderfully and was appar- ently himself again. It was believed that the man had recovered his thl mental bearings until his rampage Thursday afternoon. In court Satur- day he win probably be committed again to the Norwich asylum ..;

NEW LONDON WOMAN
 SUICIDES BY GAS.
Mrs. Josephine Dirn Found Dead in
 Kitehin by Her Husband.

Mrs. Josephine Dinn, 35r years old, died as a result Of asphyxiation at her home in New London Friday morning. The body was found by her husband in the kitchen of their apartment as he was preparing to leave for work. Mrs. Dinn had evidently waited un- til her husband, who is employed as a carpenter by contractor doing work at the submarine base, had retired and was asleep before she made arrange ments to take her life, for all indica tions point to deliberate suicide
 After closing all doors in tie apart ment except the one leading from the dining room to the kitchen, Mrs. Dim removed a bed couch from the dining room to the kitchen and then shut the door. After that she opened all the cocks in the gas range and laid down on the couch to calmly await her death. ~E
 MT. Dim upon awakening Friday morning smelled gas and traced it to the kitchen, where he found his wife dead Dr. H. H. Heyer, medical ex- aminer, was notified. and he declared death was due to gas poisoning, and gave permission for the body to be removed
 Mr. and Mrs. Dim went to New London from Vermont about three months ago. Other tenants of the building say that MT. and Mrs. Dim l were unusually attentive to each other and apparently lived quiet and hap py life. Mr. Dim was prostrated at his wife's sudden death and is at a loss to ac- count for her action. She was appar- entity free from all worries and seemed to be in the best of health.
 The dead wornan's husband is Michael Dinn. .-t-'7. 5''-

 As soon as Soltz saw the child leave the sidewalk he applied the brakes and tried to head the automobile away from the boy, but as the ear was load ed with about 500 pounds of beef it slid over the snow and the right fem der struck the boy. The lad was i'm mediately picked up and taken to a nearby store and the Memorial hospi- tai notified.
 The boys mother happened to be a witness of the accident, and she be- came hysterical from fright.
 When the ambulance arrived the boy was not considered seriously enough injured to be taken to the institution, so he wa, sremoved to ,~ his home, where medical attention was given him.

The Shore Line trolley situation showed slight improvement on Fri day, but the danger of possible shut down on the entire. system is by no means past, according to a statement made Friday night by Robert w. Per kins,. president of the company. The situation is still critical and if ait were not for the fact that public spirited Norwich manufacturer generously of- fered to loan the company some of his coal, the Thamesville power station supply would now be entirely exhaust ed. This generous offer will enable the power station to remain in opera ton for a short time.
 President Perkins said Friday night that the Shore Line is anXiously awaiting the arrival of barge ship rnent which is somewhere between this city and New York. It is not known whether or not the barge will be able to get through the ice on the Thamts river. If it is found impossible to get the shipment up the river to this city, and no coal arrives by rail, the Thamesville power plant will have to close down and the New London di- vision will be without service.
