acts of her life was to help nurse the

try that she was a good faithful young

, The Albion Red Cross Chapter pays
the following worthy tribute to the
deceased:
The Albion Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Gross, wishes to extend its
sincere sympathy with the bereaved
father, sister and brother of Anna
Brandt. She has paid with her life
for her ideal of duty and service. Be-
fore she was asked she offered her
services and when she was asked she
went at once without a falter. She
did not think it necessary to seek du-
ty afar off. but saw and accepted the
call right here.
Greater love hath no man than
this, that a mar lay down his life for
his friend"
We feel that she has laid down her
life for others she did not ever know.
| What she has done speaks for itself,
and no words of ours can add to her
glory.
The love of her father, brother and
| sister and their submission and forti-
tude are examples for all. We trust
a fitting memorial of her may soon BIZ
established and maintained, that will
bear testimony hereafter, to her gu
preme sacrifice t. a call for help in a
time of deep need.

PEACE

Il SGAGEs
Into the homes whore the service flags
hang
Came JOY with It's freedom from
care,
And grief-Weary hearts in thankful
ness sang
While U bugles sang truce lover
there.
When Peace like q mantle spread over
the field.
And hushed the loud roar Of the
guns.
And the silence that came Ger the
trenches revealed
The defeat and retreat of the Huns.
Thru the windows of homes where the
service flags hang
Cleaned the light Of the home fires
again,
While thr uout all nations a loud vel
come rang
Of Peace and Good Will unto men.
Now with cheers for the living and
tears for the dead,
We wait for our dear ones return

And trusting in God who to victory
Our great armies, we keep home
