On Tuesday of this week Rev
Lloyd Roberts of this city addressed
an audience of from four to FIVE thou
sand people. assembled at Burley to
participate in the big Red Cross auc-
ton.
NO more mastery address could
nave been made than that which

His line of talk was so pointed and
convincing that any who were pro-
German, slackers. or otherwise not
Zoe per cent American, soon found
themselves in a most uncomfortable
position. His immense audience was
held spell bound by the line of
thought that poured so freely and
earnestly from his lips. and upon the
conclusion of his speech it was found
that the great Northwest had made
new find, in this patriotic American
citizen and disciple of God. Let the
good work go on, and may the great
American spirit and God Almighty
ever strengthen Jerome's favorite
speaker, in presenting to his MANY
hearers Simon pure patriotism that
1t takes to make a 100 per cent
American citizen.
The Red Cross auction at Burlev
was a complete success in every

day being over $4,000. An Amer
