and desire to help. The National or
ganization has asked every County to
put on Victory Boys Campaign and
a Victory Girls Campaign. 1t has
been thought best to put on this cam
paign in Van Buren County.
This means that we give an oppor-
tunity to every girl to earn and give
something for the cheer and comfort
of our soldiers. The rules of the
campaign are as follows:-
1. No pledge from any person over
twenty-one years of age.
2. Pledge just what you wish to
and can contribute yourself.
3. The pledge must be paid from
the money which you earn yourself.
A. You may have until March 1st,
1919 to pay your pledge, if you wish.
Mr.. G. G. Eisenman of Hartford is
Chairman for the County of the Vic
tory Boys Campaign.
Mrs. Frank Warner of Lawrence is
Chairman for the County of the Vic
tory Girls Campaign.
We hope and believe that the boys
and girls of Van Buren County will
take hold of this in a way that they
themselves will be proud of and that
will make our soldiers proud of them.
David Anderson
Chairman, County War Board.
P. S. Mr.. Eisenman thinks of course
the boys will beat the girls.

be the girls will fool him and the

we are very busy most of the time
digging trenches, long marches, ia
tigue guard, and a dozen other things
too numerous to mention
We have most of our equipment
now, which consists of two pairs of
shoes, two suits, three suits of un-
derwear, two A. D. shirts, one pair
of leggins, one hat, an overcoat, three
blankets, one poncho, shelter half,
five pairs of socks, mess kit, gun,
bayonet, barrack bag, fatigue suits,
also a gas mask, but we won't get
our masks until we get to France.
So you see a soldier in the infantry
will have quite few things to carry.

made of rubber that goes around the
face so that no air can get in. There
is a rubber tube which goes in the
mouth and a clamp over the nose. It's
all the same as sucking nipple. The
time for putting on mask
is six seconds. A man is safe as long
as he keeps the mask on, but one or
two breaths of gas and a fellow is a
goner.
