Yesterdays celebration, here, as
nationally, was observed with an en-
tire absence of the old-style hilarity
which in times past burlesqued the
days significance. Because it was
the birthday also Of the Red Cross,
CHS order had the celebration in
charge, and all of the days events
we're in keeping with the high stand
ards of this society.
The forenoon was devoted to tag
nfng for Red Cross memberships,
and while the receipts are not COM
auted today it is known that graz
flying increase over last years Tag
Day, showing that "Vilas County has
earned how to give" Part of this
is doubtless due to a wider under
standing of the order, since there can
be none so entirely ignorant as to be-
aieve Red Cross solicitors work for
personal gain; partly because it has
grown to seem the cord that binds us
TO our own boys Overthere.
The afternoon program was given
over to the Woman's Committee,
and its success proved it could have
been entrusted to no better hands.
The parade, worked out under the

be effective, the central idea being

ties Of the Red Cross, and here we
scored one over most of the many
towns which must have had Red

edged to be the best in the world.
He called attention to the fact that
we have never fought wars for con-
quest, but that in every case, as now,
the presence of American arms upon
any battle field at home or abroad,
has been that an oppressed people
might be free. He complimented
northern Wisconsin on its stand in
loyallying supporting the government
with it's blood and money in the
present struggle, and contrary to ma
ny writer's and speakers, made no at
tempt to hide the fact that it will be
a struggle, which we believe should be
given more attention than it has.
We doubt very much if there is a
very large percentage of the popula-
tion that do not see the vi tai necessi.
ty of winning the war against Ger
many regardless of time, men or mon
ey. That they refuse to believe the
victory can be won by bombast
does not completely disbar them from
being classed as loyal American citi-
zens who also hold their country
above all others as a place of resi-
dence.
