luck in France as a soldier, and

son. Five boys assisted the young
ladies, namely, Robert Marshall, Earl
and Harold Mehemson, Glenn Jack

girl performers were Cora Belle
Mekemson, Cora and Thelma Mar
shall These young girls and boys
are very patriotic, for they held this
entertainment as a benefit for the
comfort kit fund. They sold tickets
at cents and realized in proceeds
from the circus $1-9S. II the young
people get up another entertainment
Of this kind and the public finds out
the date, there is no. doubt but that
it will be more patronized than the
circus was. Surely these boys and
girls deserve much praise in their
endeavor to do their bit for our sol
