Macy's first year on the varsity elev'

came to open field running and locat-

is to him that much credit is due for

men of the world, knew that such wo-

In letters to Representative Rodgers.

General Mccain said the vote in
France could not be taken without
seriously interfering with military eff

. THE matter has been thoroly can

the light Of the effort made to COL
lect the soldier vote in the fall of
1917" Crowell wrote These men
are entitled to have a voice in the af-
fairs of the country, of course. But I
also believe they would be the last
ones to insist on exercising the fran
chise because I am certain they must

I'VE have received this year the
largest number Of new children since
1908. We attribute this to the high
cost of living and to the war. At the
same time there has been no lack of
good homes to receive the children.
Our relations with the state board OF
administration have been especially
happy, and we have been able to eff
feet a closer cooperation with the
state institutions than ever before. The
state orphans home has received some
children who were unplaceable. and
the school for the feeble minded took
one. The increased cost of hotel ac-
commodations. livery hire and sup
plies has greatly increased our ex-
penses, but the people of the state
have never before given so literally.
Physicians, nurses, dentists and hospi-
tails have given their services for the
children.
