GARRARD COUNTY BOY
Donates His Mule To Three Worthy
Causes.

With a heart and soul filled with
patriotism, Master John Morgan
Holtzclaw, twelve year old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Holtzclaw, who live
on the Grab Orchard pike, is taking
a crack at the Kaiser by donating his
three year old mule, "Sallie Durham,
to three of the most worthy causes
now before the American public.
This mule will be sold on the
streets of Lancaster next county
court day, October 2sth, on the pub
lie square for the benefit of the new
Gilberts Greek Church. the Lancas-
ter Red Cross Chapter and the Y. NJ.
c. A.
This is the plan he proposes and
was worked out in his own simple
way; The mule will be sold ON the
stepping bid plan, that is everyone
bidding will pay the amount over and
above the preceding bid, at the time
of bidding; after all bids are exhaust
ed, the mule VIII again be sold, this
time to the highest bidder, who VIII
get the mule. The entire proceeds
Of both sales will be turned over to
Mr.. J. W, Elmore, treasurer OF the
Gilberts Greek church, who wall he
instructed to divide the money INTO
three equal parts, and it will be given
to the associations named above.
"Sallie Durham" should bring a
record price and the clever young
donor will receive the thanks and
plaudits for his unusual generosity.
This young man is investing every
cent of his money in War Stamps and
Liberty Bonds, an example that could
well be emulated by older persons in
this community.

CHANCE OF DEATH IS
NOT GREAT IN BATTLE

People are often astonished to see
a man with two or three gold stripes
on his sleeve, but, according to the
law Of chance, the average soldiers
prospects of being killed are not
great. The average civilian, of
course, has no excuse whatever for
quaking
II you are actually in khaki, TAX
ing the mean average, the odds
against your being a casualty in any
particular year might be reckoned,
roughly, at about 6 to /. But sup
pose you become casualty? The
odds are still about 8 to against
your being killed outright, while the
following figures show your chances
if you are wounded; Ninty per cent
of the men who reach an advanced
hospital recover. 95 per cent recover
of those who pass into casualty clear
ing station, and only two men in
every hundred die at base hospital.

President Wilson is sincere in his
statement of war aims. There is no
