RED CROSS NOTES

Red Cross work, is one of the i'm
portant activities, which is going to
bring about peace and victory This
work takes money, time and influence.
It's an opportunity for everybody to
40 their bit" towards the present
war, and loyalty has not been lacking
In Wausau and Marathon county.
Red Cross work is an undertaking Of
extreme magnitude and hardly able
OF comprehension by the ordinary
person. Numerous letters have been
received from the soldier and sailor
boys located somewhere in the
United States" and somewhere in
Europe" expressing their appreciation
on what the American Red Cross
society is doing for them. This
branch covers a great deal. 1t not
only safeguards the health of the i'm
mense army we are sending to Europe
and to care for wounded soldiers. but
also relieves the stricken and starry
ing millions left destitute and DESC
late by invading armies It's a great
work, and one which should receive
the endorsement of all people. If YOU
nave not already Joined the Red Cross
or helped along in this work, get
busy at once, it is not too late.
The women of this country play Just
as an important part in bringing
about peace and victory as the men
do. They cheerfully send the men
to the front; administer to their
needs while they are in the army and
navy; aid in taking care of their
families and substitute for them in
the business world. The women of
the United States are doing all in
their power to conserve food; aband-
on luxuries; raise money through
benefits, etc.
The knitting rooms at the Red
Cross headquarters here are open
from two until five o'clock excepting
on Saturdays. Those in charge are
anxious to get all knitted orders out
finished as soon as possible and re-
turned to the work rooms, as there
is urgent need of these warm knitted
articles at once. All those having
yarn left over after finishing an ar
t1cle should return the same to the
work rooms.
The first and second classes in
standard surgical dressings worked
on oakum pads at the Red Cross
rooms on Friday morning.
The town of Maine war work
society has splendid record for
work accomplished during the month
OF January. A meeting was recently
had at the home of Mrs. John Runke
In that town, at which time the num-
Der of bandages, hospital garments,
knitted goods and so forth was report
ed on, and it shows that the women
of that section are devoting a great
deal of time to Red Cross work.
In the thrift stamp campaign, Mrs.
Albert Johnson, was appointed chair
man for the town of Maine, and much
interest was shown ia this war work,
as reported by her.
A Red Cross benefit recital will be
given at the opera house next Monday
evening, February II, by Mrs. Selma
Gogg and Lawrence Bernhard. Tick
cts for the same can be purchased at

PAS VACATION

When PAS vacation comes around,
My Ma is awful glad.
But you may not believe me, kid,
But Pa is kinda sad;
For he must dress in rough old
clothes
And look just like bum,
And sod the yard and clean the
stove fs
That's why he looks so glum.
When Pas vacation comes around,
We kids stand in a row,
And beg and tease for him to take
Us to a picture show.
Bot first of all, he has to dress
My sis and bud and me;
And then he must shine Mas old
shoes
Before the show we see.
When PAS vacation days are Ger,
He back to work will flee;
And tears of joy win dim his eyes,
So happy he will be.
For one whole year viii pass before
He does those ijobjsjj jjjjjjjjjj
He does those jobs again.
I guess that's why / heard him say,
Vacation is a sin"

ing, your work or pleasures. Next

ELKS HOLD THEIR ANNUAL
A4EM0pEAH cEuuIGEc aIrAIn v

The memorial services Of the local
lodge Of B. p. o. Elks were held
at the First Methodist Church Sun
day afternoon at 3 o'clock. Through
out the union every local organiza-
ton Of the Elks fraternity holds a
Lodge of Sorrow" on the first Sun
day in each December in honor of its
brothers who sleep in the window
less palaces Of rest In this custom
there is blending of the beatific,
the solemn and the sublime, and the
program rendered by the local lodge
Sunday afternoon was in harmony
with the spirit that inspired such a
memorial.
The invocation was led by Rev. r.
A. Clark, pastor Of the First Meth
odist Church.
Exalted Ruler C. B. simonton
gracefully presided, and conducted
the ritualistic part Of the service.
The musical program, arranged by
Mrs. w. T. Hamilton and Miss Lucy
Minor Crofford, directors of music,
was a rythm of melody and inspiring
sentiment, including anthems by the
choir, a quartette by Mr.. Girdner,
Dr. Templeton, Mrs. Hamilton and
Miss Crofford, and two vocal seIec-
tons by one Of Covington's most
gifted soloists, Mrs. Frank S. Hill,
who sang with wondrous sweetness,
"Face to Face" and "God Shall Wipe
All Tears Away" The prelude, post
Jude and aceompaniments were played
by Mrs Green Hamilton.
The memorial address was deliver
ed by Hon. L. E. Gwinn, or this city,
and was a tribute to the high ideals
of Elkdom-which he referred to as
genuinely social, benevolent, patriot
ic and spiritual Institution and
it's benevolent and benefcent opera
tons in the practice of the four car
dinal virtues Of the order: Brotherly
love, justice, charity and fidelity.
The eulogy on John Craig, the
only member of the Covington lodge
to join the brotherhood of the dead
during the past year, was pronounc-
ed by Judge R. B. Baptist, and was
an eloquent and sympathetic portray
al of the life and character of one
who will be long remembered not
only by those who knew him in the
intimate association of home and
lodge, but by the entire community,
which recognized and appreciated his
worth and work as man and cit
izen and his many acts of public
service and private benefaction.
During Che exercises, reference
was made to the fact that "a men,
bers of the local Elks lodge are in
the military seryiee-that there are
"a blue stars in the Elks' service
flag of these as yet having
turned to gold, but that in the prov
idence of God all twenty-four had
been spared from death or serious
hurt in battle or from disease.
AT the conclusion of the service,
the lodge, by rising vote of thanks,
expressed its appreciation to the Of
ficers and members Of the Methodist
church for the use Of their building
for its memorial service, and to the
organist, directors of music, mem
bers Of the choir and visiting singers
who took part in the musical pro-
gram, after which the congregation
was dismissed with an appropriate
prayer by DR.. r. P. Walker.

IN MEMORY OF PAUL L. RICE
Died in France, October %, 1918.

e'NNSif~A
One precious to our heart has gone
The voice we loved is stilled;
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled.
Our Father in His wisdom called
The boy His love had given,
And though on earth the body lies
The soul is safe in heaven.
When we see the precious blossom
That we tended with such care
Rudely taken from our bosom,
How our hearts almost despair;
Round your grave we longed to linget
Till the setting sun was low,
Feeling all our hopes had vanished
With the flower we cherished SO.
This lovely young man, so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a
flower
In paradise could bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with fiendish care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed
And bade it blossom there.
Dear Paul, thy gentle voice is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is still,
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy
breast,
We have kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no paul" now.
IT'S hard to break the tender cords
When love has bound the heart;
IT'S hard, SO hard, to speak the words
1--WE must forever part"
Dearest loved one, we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy shining face.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave SO low;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our sorrow will know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the days Of life are fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
AUNT JENNIE.
