D0FFING THE HAT

The first step. then, In tracing The
origin Of taking OF the hat. Is the
surrender of tire clothing among primi

to Pierce County
Chapter A. R. C.
(From Central Oiyision)

The Chapter Records-those
treasured testimonials so ELOQUENT
of the spirit of service which awak-
ened in our land in April, l9I7-tell
US that the Pierce county Chapter
was organized in June one wear
ago. The patriotic people of Pierce
county heard the cry for help and,
banded together as followers of
the cross" they went to the rescue
the same month that General
Pershing and his boys sailed away
to blackened and saddened land,
to battlefield for us.
The great work that is being &C
complished by the Pierce county
Chapter is doing much to legalize
our right to be known as truly
great people; as big" as the young
private said we were, as he stood
on the platform of a train, going

soldier looked and swore a reyerent
oath.
They can't beat that" he said
simply and without explanation.
Not that and all that's. back of it.
Isn't it big! That's what we're
lighting for! That down there and
everything that's behind it. New

the prairies-phew! all the people
in all those places! i. You know,

coming pretty thick, if / can just

And he will. Just northwest
apiece from the Chicago that this
boy looked out on lies your Pierce
county and your Pierce County
Chapter of the American Red Cross;
your Chapter, which has gathered
together 5000 people, old and
young, the weak, the strong, all
with one heart purpose-"to be
worth fighting for" to keep the
feeling of Pierce county, OF home,
back of the boy when.he finds him
self in jam.
And when the boys of Pierce
county come marching homeI In
the joy of the homecoming, deep in
the heart warming cheering will
sound note of great community

which by the way was rough build

his meetings. A very fine program
had been prepared, music and speech
