willing to do their bit to insbsa the.
success of the War Chest drive. The
keen brain and the skillful hand Of

created the wonderful and striking

thousands of spectators crowding the

Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-05-24

The largest, most elaborate and
successful street pageant ever appear
ing in Newark marked the Inaugural
tion of the War Chest campaign on
Monday evening. Everything con-
spired to its success-the weather
was propitious, the utmost harmony
prevailed and nothing occurred to
interfere with the program arranged
by the committee.
Governor Cox, the guest of honor
for the occasion, was entertained at
dinner given for the workers of the
city and county, previous to the par
ade. He was enthusiastically re-
ceived, and at the conclusion of the
dinner made a few remarks, saying,
among other things, that some
counties in the state, while aiding in
the war work, had not formed any
general organization, and efforts were
being made to line them up; but
Newark city and Licking county, as
evidenced by their splendid work
needed no assistance from the out
side. He predicted the SUI assful
termination of the war, God being on
our side, and though final peace may
be delayed, many blessings will fol-
low in it's wake. He also stated that
before snow flies American boys
would be crossing the Atlantic on
aeroplanes.
At the conclusion of the dinner the
mammoth parade, variously esti-
mated from eight to ten thousand,
was started, and although the original
line of march had been considerably
heightened, the head of the column
arrived at the public square before
the last division had started. The

RossviIle, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, OF
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
iured himself with piece of heavy ma
ciIinery, across the abdomen He was
so sore he could not beer to press on
himself at all. on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 l5s., and fell off until he
weighed 10 lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
II two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered SO. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.

For all life,s ills, says the optimist,
For wartime trouble and fret and

For every ailment that may exist,
A cheerful smile is tonic rare.
But when of trials we get share
That's much, we fancy, beyond our
due,
To ease our feelings and clear the
air
A grouchy grumble is helpful, too.
This wicked world, says the moralist,
Would be so lovable, sweet and fair,
If all, in chorus, would but insist,
A cheerful smile is a tonic rare
But since the devil himself may
wear
The merry visage and all his crew,
Perhaps, as mark of the rule but
square,
A grouchy grumble is helpful, too.
Soft answers gladden. the theorist,
And next, says he, to a whispered
prayer
For healing hurts of an iron fist
A cheerful smile is tonic rare.

And menacing giances pierce you

O'Reilly's adventures on his swift
ride through Las Villas have no part In
this story. It is only necessary to
say that they were numerous and va
ried, that O'Reilly experienced excite
ment a-plenty, and that upon more than
one occasion he was forced to think
and to act quickly in order to syold a
clash with some rowing guerrilla band.
Food became a problem Immediate
ly after the travellers had crossed the
trocha. Such apprehenslve families as
still lurked in the woods were liberal
enough-Antonio, by the way. knew all
Of them--but they had little to give,
and, In consequence, o'Reilly's party
learned the taste OF wild fruits, ber-
rIes and palmetto hearts. Once they
managed to kill a small pig, the sole
survivor of some obscure country trag-
edy, but the rest OF the time their
meat, when there was any, consisted
of iguanas-those big, repulsive liz
ards-and jutias, the Cuban field rats.
Fortunately there was no shortage
of food for the horses, and so, despite
| the necessity OF numerous detours, the
party made good time. They crossed
into Matanzas, pushed on over rolling
hills, through sweeping savannas, past
empty clearings and deserted villages,
to their journeys end. A fortunate
encounter with rebel partida from
General Betancourt's army enabled
them to reach headquarters without
loss of time, and one afternoon, worn,
haggard and hungry, they dismounted
in front Of that gallant officers hut.
General Betancourt read the letter
which o'Reilly handed him, then
looked up with smile.
$50! You are one of Gomez Ameri-
cans, eh? Well, would never have
