WHY THEY WEAR GREEN

Folks from coast to coast are still
wondering why the time-honored blue
uniforms worn by the United States
Marines were superseded by the
"forest greens" now in use.
practical military reasons" was
the brief answer given by Marine Of
fcials.
But a history shark now comes
forth with a better cause, he says
than mere military necessity, for the
change in colors.
He claims that green is the his
toric hue for Marine corps and tc
prove it he has dug up an order OF
the Marine Committee" dated Sep
tember 5, 1776, prescribing uni
form Of green coat, faced with white
white waistcoat and breeches edged
with green, and black "gaiters."

FROM over HERE
Boston Kimerer Writes That He Is
Feeling Fine-Interest' in Folks at
Home - Weather - Refugees -
Cigars From Home.
Over Here, April 8, 1918.

Over Here, April 8, 1918.
Dear Folks:
Received your letter yesterday and
l opened it the first thing, for l
thought that some of you folks had
been worse; you see it was a little
surprise for me, for you had not been
writing very often. Am glad that
everybody is feeling better and hope
that by this time they are enjoying
their usual good health.
Gee! Everybody back there is get
ting married. Guess l will have to
hurry up. Did Dewey Loveland trade
his farm; or did he sell and buy?
1 am feeling fine; have a little
headache tonight-weigh 1551a now,
but do not think I will gain much
more, at least do not want to. The
weather here has been cold for about
week now, and it has rained about
every day for a week, too. Spring
will soon be here now-the blossoms
and early gardens are out.
l have not seen any of the boys
from around Wauseon here; of course
none of them are in this locality
although 1 heard that there is bunch
of Camp Sherman boys about six
miles from here. Heard that they
we're Engineers. If I have time some
Sunday will walk out that way and
see if l know any of them.
am working in the office now,
and have been ever since I got out
of the hospital. Like it very much
have to like it. We get up at 5:45
and to bed at $50, but do not get
to sleep before IL. Have breakfast
at every other week and every
other week at $50. We have big
Y. M. G. A. here now, and they have
good entertainments. Elsie Janis, a
great vaudeville actress, is in France
now and the Y. M. C. A. secretary
said that she would be here soon, but
did not know just when.
It is very hard to write, for just
the things that we boys would like to
write, we can't. I saw several refu-
gees from near one of the front lines,
and they sure did look pitiful. Some
were so old and crippled that they
could not walk alone and some were
little babies about four or six months
old.
will write once a week, so when
you begin receiving my letters they
will come regularly. Write when you
can, but make it often, for if we
boys do not receive mail we get pretty
blue
Received a box from Mary yester-
day; she sent some tobacco and
few cigars, and believe me, the ci-
gars were good.
Will have to close for this time and
send my best regards and love to all.
Sincerely
BOSTON.

In Memory of
GERTRUDE BROWN FIRST

She has passed into the silence,
She has laid her burdens down,
Freed from all earth's cares and
sorrow,
She has won the heavenly crown;
Passed beyond this earthly vision
To the bright Eternal shore;
Done with all the pain and sickness,
All the weary waitings DER.
Folded are the hands so quiet
On the cold and pulseless breast;
Hands that ever were so busy,
Now forever are at rest.
Closed the eyes, no more to open
On the dreariness of night;
But they see the face of Jesus
In those realms of Endless Light
Father, sisters, you will miss her,
Once the fairest of your band,
But she has gone to join her mother
In brighter, better land.
Now with Jesus and the angels;
They await your coming, too,
When your days on earth are ended
And Gods summons comes to you.
Walker, you Will sorely miss her
In the lonely days to come,
When no more her loving presence
Cheers your sad and darkened home.
Though your heart is filled with
yearning
For the face you'll see no more,
Some glad day again you'll meet her
When life's pilgrimage is DER.
Oh, this earthly life is feeting,
And the days pass quickly by.
Soon the struggles will be ended
That we, too, must feel and die;
Then we in trusting, like dear Gertie,
When the shadows DER US creep,
In the Savior's love and mercy
For He giveth His loved ones sleep.

GIRLS TO HELP WIN THE WAR

GIRLS TO HELP WIN THE WAR
Fulton county girls are going to
do 'their best" this summer at home
to help win the war by canning, dry
ing, and preserving food. Uncle Sam,
domestic science specialists of the
Ohio State University, and the entire
county school system will back them.
C. D. Perry, county superintendent
of schools, and his co-workers, are
organizing the girls of the county
into food clubs. Any girl in the coun-
ty between the ages of 10 and Is may
join. Monthly instruction sheets pre-
pared by home economics specialists
of the Ohio State University will be
furnished. Two personal visits for
the purpose Of giving demonstrations
will be made by these same work
ers. The canning and drying Of foods
according to the latest and most
practical methods will be taken up at
one of these demonstrations. The
other will be given over to the bak-
ing of war breads. The expenses
for this work are taken care of by
federal and state appropriations.
All who enroll now will have an
opportunity of making an exhibit at
the county fair and of competing for
a number of valuable prizes. The
first prize will be a trip to Columbus
for the Farmers Week program at
the Ohio State University, January
27-31, 1919. All expenses on the trip
will be paid by the Fulton County
Agricultural Society.
Herbert Hoover, national food ad
ministrator, says that joining fooC
club is one of the best ways for 6
girl to give practical demonstration
of her patriotism.
Applications for enrolment may be
made to Nellie A. Logan, count!
club leader, Wauseon, or to W. H
Palmer, the Ohio State University

HOW WILL YOU EXPLAIN IT?
By Harrison Rhodes

When you recruit men for the army
or the navy you often ask them:
What will you give to your children
and your grandchildren as the rea-
son why, when your country was in
danger, you did not offer yourself ?"
When you enlist the nations saw
ings for the Third Liberty Loan you
may well ask the same question:
What excuse will you give your chill
dren and your grandchildren in the
years to come if when our soldiers
and our sailors and our shipbuilders
needed your money, you did not offer
it ?"
Let every one remember that weak
hearts and fiat feet and swaggle
teeth are not reasons why one can
not subscribe to the loan Not ev-
cry one can offer to fight. 1t would
not always be a help. But every
one can loan money. 1t takes young
men and strong men to fight. But
one dollar is as strong as another
Every dollar will help fire a shot at
the enemy
Listen to this dialogue for 1928:
Father, why haven't you Liberty
Bonds ?"
"Son, I didn't think Az per cent q
good investment. I was getting anC
Z per cent elsewhere"
'But, father, if Germany had wor
the war, you wouldn't have got anc
per cent, would you? Didn't yor
let other peoples money fight the
war for you? Isn't our money nov
Stacker money, and only a disgrace
to US? Isn't it?"
Won't the clear-headed young peo
pie after the war talk to their faith
ers that way? Won't they?
Don't think because only three bill
lion is asked for now that you cal
safely let the other fellow subscribe
it. The danger is that this may b.
just what the other fellow is think
ing of you.
Can't you almost hear the guns il
France?
Can't you see our young men fight
ing, dying?
Doesn't your money burn you il
your pocket?
If it doesn't, you must be made O.
some substance that won't burn evel
where the kaiser is going.

CHRISTMAS AND THE SPIRIT
Necessary to Manifest Unselfishness
and the Love Christ Brought
to the World.

Two artists were asked to make n
copy of u famous painting. The one
made mathematical calculations, and
produced technically correct copy,
The other studied the painting, entered
into the spirit of the artist, and pro-
duced not merely an imitation, but a
picture which glowed with warmth
and life. We are not, as Christians,
simply to copy Christ but rather to
become possessed Of his spirit and so
reproduce his life in our lives. AT
this Christmas season let us aim to
become possessed of the spirit of
Christ. and so reproduce his life.
In Little Women" there is story
told by Louisa Alcott out of the eN-

will trust in Providence. The weather

wonder that the children trained in
the Alcott household grew up heed

true Christmas spirit. If our Christ
mastide is pervaded by real unselfish-
ness, we shall manifest to every one
the love that Christ brought to the
world.
