BOWERS

| ne Junior Ala society was enter
tanned by Miss Ida Davidson at her
home. One new member was added to
the roll. This society has bought at
its own expense a large service flag,
six feet by eight, with fourteen stars
in the center, representing the four
teen young men of our little town who
have entered the service OF their coun-
try, and the very large per cent of
them are over the sea in the midst
| OF the activities there. What other
! town of less than three hundred in
habitants can say more or even as
much? Then in addition to the flag
they have an honor roll with the
names of all the young men in the
service inscribed thereon and placed in
our church as a gentle reminder that
the boys who have left their homes
and friends behind 10 brave the hard
ships OF military life for their country
and humanity are not forgotten.

full and serious accident while return
ing from Dover last week. She dis
covered that the car was not as easily
controlled with the wheel as usual
but as she was nearing home she
thought she could get there all right
by running slow. but she was mistaken
as the steering gear became so disar-
ranged that she was pOwerless to con- !
troll the car and it left the road and
landed in the ditch among some trees, |
wrecking the car and giving Mrs. Hub |
bard some painful bruises and ter |
