CROWN POINT. Ind. July s.-Tho
July meeting OF the Lake County Coun-
ell of Defense was held on Monday at
Crown Point and the volume Of business
which this war body disposed Of was
stupendous considering that the meet
ings are now held bi-monthly. The hrst
matter brought before the board was

her patriotic conduct in this matter and
each member of the council concurred
with Chairman Peterson in his action.
for Mrs. Brennon has been a tireless
worker in all war activities and to be
