A most enjoyable and original lit

the Junior Red Cross was given at
the Opera House Saturday morning.
The program was planned by Miss
Celeste Jones "a little dancer of much
grace and ability. 1t consisted of
dancing and recit&tions rendered by
her Idpils, Misses Elizabeth and Mar
garet Peterman and Eileen O'Niell.
The pretty costumes added greatly to
the attrsctiveness Of the entertain
ment. Several solo dances were
given by Misses Celeste Jones and
Margaret Peterman. Though not on
the program, Master James Parker
son made quite a hit with the audi
ence when he delivered the recita-
tion, "Kaiser Bill" The talent dis
played by these little people was re
markable and did credit to them
selves as well as their charming little
teacher. The Opera House was well
filled with appreciative "grown-ups"
and the sum Of $16.25 was realized.

MILITARY MORALS.

One of tue uses of the proceeds
of the Liberty Loan that will
appeal strongly to the great mass
of American people is the care
and attention given to the moral
welfare and protection of the
American soldiers.
Heretofore with the American
Army and even now with some
of the armies OF our allies
the moral welfare of the
soldier was and ia a matter
largely ignored. In the German
armies provision is even made
for immortality.
