Lumb erton.

The next regular meeting of Lum-
berton Red Cross Auxiliary will be
held on Thursday. All members are
urged to make special effort to at
tend as there is so much work on
hand just at this time.
An event of unusual interest was the
dedication, on Saturday, of the new
school building. No one could have
wished for a more perfect day, and the
assembly room was filled, while many
found standing room in tbs corridor.
B. F. Clayberger, Jr., member of the
Board of Education, conducted the
exercises. Rev. o. c. Bovine offered
an appropriate prayer. The dedicatory
addresses were made by ex-Mayor
Flagg, of Riverton; T. E. Scott, Assist
ant Commissioner of Education, and
County Superintendent Kayser, all of
which were greatly enjoyed. They all
agreed that the building ranked with
the best four room schools in the
state, both for good construction and
its excellent system of heating and
ventilating. Next came the very i'm.
portant part of unfurling the flag, pre-.
sented by the Junior Mechanics R.v.
Stephen Jones made the presentation
address aud spoke in his usual aole
and forceful manner. The audience
sang the Star Spangled Banner as Old
Glory fioated on the breeze. When il
was learned, on Friday, that the band
from Camp Dix could not be present,
the Board of Education and the com.
mittee from the Junior Mechanics de.
cided to sell the supper prepared fol
the soldiers and turn the proceeds over
! to the local Red Cross Auxiliary. This
proved to be very happy thought, as
about $50 was realized. The joint com
mittees in charge extend their grateful
thanks and appreciation to the many
friends who made the day so thorough
ly enjoyable.

Letter From Palmer Thomas.
Dear Friend Ed

Holly soldier boy has been received by
Edward Nippins, Mount Holly:
Somewhere in Germany,
August Is, 1918.
Dear Friend Ed
Having nothing to do while standing
in reserve, will drop you asfew lines to
let you know l am as we'll as ever and
hope you and your wife and family are
the same. | have been in the trenches
for ten days and am now resting, but
will soon be back on buster front. Be-
lieve me, it sure does make a fellow
think when he first goes on a post,
knowing that Germans may approach
him at any time; but it does not seem
so bad now that we have experienced
it. 1t is more dangerous back of the
INES than it is at the front, because
the German artillery fire comes over
very often. The other day we were get
ting ready for Chow and that Dutch
man called Fritz" opened up his big
guns on us and shell burst 25 yards
behind US. Believe me, l never saw
such scrambling in all my life. The
| fellows all fell to the ground as they
did not have time to run into their dug
out. Mess pans flew in all directions
and the soup went all over US. | was
somewhat greasy. They continued
firing for an hour and we sure did have
hard job eating. One shell blew off
an eight-inch tree clean and it landed
right outside our dugout door. And
such noise. Oh, boy! this is great
game, but not.as good as pool, or base
ball. 1t is a common thing to see an
aeroplane thousand yards overhead.
Well, Ed, after all, think that Fritz
is satisfied he has job on his hands
now that Uncle Sam has come over
here to buck him. we sent barrage
over this morning, it is reported, while
| the Germans were advancing and we
killed whole regiment of Dutchmen
] while we only lost four men-two were
killed and two were captured. | think
we will soon be home if many crack:
| like that are made and we do such
things very often. We are in Germany

Greatest Work Which the United War
Work Organizations Have on
Hand viii Come During
Decentralization.
UNITED WAR WORK is BIG
National Catholic War Council, X. Of
c.-the ~" Y. W., Jewish
Welfare, Salvation and
other Orders Help.

One man said yesterday. in talking
OF the united war work campaign
Pm mighty glad to give to a big
program like that, which covers the
whole business not taken care OF by
the Red Cross
That exactly expresses the spirit
with which Keokuk is coming up to
the work of the campaign, which viii
be actually carried on as soon as the
influenza situation permits. The war
has made everybody bigger and
broader in his viewpoint. A cup OF
cold water from one hand quenches
the thirst just as well as when given
by some other hand.
The method and line OF work done
by the agencies is so big that no one
thinks who is doing it, and nobody
cares, because it is all so fine and
SO exactly what our boys most need.
Every man who makes contribu-
ton is helping his own pet agency,
and that maybe he is helping some
other, too, only gives the warmer
glow of satisfaction to his heart
The greatest service which the sew
en- allied agencies for war work must
be prepared to render will be during
the period Of rehabilitation. How
ever long or short a period the war
may last, these seven agencies are
beginning to prepare for that period
when the men will have practically all
their time on their hands. This will
be a time of grave danger, unless
suitable recreation and opportunities
for study and advancement and
growth are provided.
This must be done at all costs and
1t will cost great sums OF money.
The helpful facilities Of these sew
en- organizations are to be placed at
the service of the French army of
900, 900 and the Italian army OF
3 900 900 and the small armies of Rus
STA, Belgium, Macedonia, Mesopo-
tamia and Egypt.
The indescri bab1e needs of the mil
lions of prisoners OF war must
look solely to these seven organiza-
lions for their physical, mental, social
and moral well being.
Men on the field who are in po-
sition to know, say that the need for
these activities will continue to be
imperative for at least a year after
the actual conclusion of peace.
When the moral and physical status
of the American boys has been kept
so high and their morale has been SO
splendid, no one at home wishes to
allow the standard to slacken at this
critical period.
"Keokuk and she rest of the county
will raise it's quota for the sake of our
own Lee county boys who are in serv-
fee, to say nothing OF the other men
over there" said a member of the
committee, this morning.
