Lii Blake made an impatient "t-t-t-t'
sound and waved beringed hand.
| WELL EIDE, give you up! But, dearie,

you? can see something's on your
mind"
Edith bit her lips. She longed to
unburden her mind to Mrs. Blake.
Impulsively she pointed to pile OF
bills that had come in that morning.
They exasperated her even more than

vented her going in with Lii on the
stock flyer.
"Merciful goodness" sputtered Mrs.
Blake, lingering them eagerly. What
telephone bill! And what's all this:
To Jones & Collins for hardware.
$14.40' TO the Phillips Steel Com

clenched her hands into tight little

Hadley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
| Hadley of West Main street, in re-

| which he was wounded in the upper
! right arm. Hadley is renault tank

TENDER 80.

Il am sitting on an honest-to-God
bed in perfectly good base hospital
with two good books, can of choco-
lates, beaucoup cigarettes, some chew
ing gum, and box of cookies beside
me- All that's the matter with me
is small gun shot wound in my
upper arm, which bothers me hardly
at all now.
Soon expect to get back to my out
fit, but doubt if l see any more action
for awhile-no reason at all, just

Hadley didn't get back to the front.

where he wrote on October 8: I'm
really anxious to get back. l want
to get my mail and my pay-the two
great essentials of the soldier-and l

this last affair, but l don't think many
of the machines were destroyed, and |
know none were captured"

THE ESSENTIAL IN PATRIOTISM

The following article by Harry A.
Earnshaw was published in a recent
issue of The Tobacco World:
"The population contains large
percentage of people you have to wind
up at the side with a key. Such peo-
pie are loyal though, to be sure. They
say, What's the matter with you?
Amt I doing my bit? When they
came to me l subscribed to the liberty
loan. When they asked me l gave
some money to the Red Cross. I have
bought War Saving Stamps for my
children. never eat meat on meat
less days, nor wheat on wheatless
days. Whenever they play the Star
Spangled Banner / stand up. What
more do you want p
What more! Good God, do such
people realize what this war means?
Do they realize after paying all the
taxes and buying all the bonds and
denying ourselves every luxury and
doing all the other things we are ask
ed to do that we still have to multi
ply our sacrifices by a thousand be-
fore we even approach the price paid
by the people of Belgium and France?
every man who isn't taking this
war home to himself and making it a
part of his life is a nonessential.
Every man who does not make the
cause of his country the subconscious
thought of every action of his daily
life is not living up to the POSSIBLE
ties of his citizenship. He is not do
ing his part in the glorious work for
the liberation of humanity from des-
potism.
''The shouting must stop, and the
shooting begin. We can afford to
leave off singing The Star Spangled
Banner long enough to go out and
work to keep that holy and sacred flag
from deflement in the dirty paws of
the German kaiser-the paws that are
dripping with the blood of murdered
millions"

Teutonic professions of good will are
not very valuable when we see what
they did in the eastern part of the
battlefront.
If some people would take less time
worrying about other peoples fortune
they would have other people worry
ing about their own.
One writer says the Germans I'M
derstand war, but Americans think
they are destined to know it more

One concerned a flock of twenty

of North Dakota flock of thirty-five
which laid 395 dozen eggs the same

laid an average of 124 per hen; the

FAITH IN RED CROSS
Confidence Of Wounded Tribute
to Organization. ~
DISCHARGED Veteran Tells Of Heroic
Devotion to Duty While
Under Fire.

Chicago.-"What could any army do
without the Red CROSSE" asks Sergt.
Ronald Kingsley, late of the Fifty
eighth Canadian infantry, who is vet
eran of the French front permanently
discharged because of injuries re-
ceived in battle.
Sergeant Kingsley answers his own
question.
81 think that probably the greatest
tribute that can be paid to the Red
Cross is the confidence Of the wounded
man. He feels that no matter how
badly wounded he may be. If once he
gets to the Red Cross man his life is
safe.
81 witnessed an incident during the
battle of the Somme which | shall
never forget. A Red Cross officer and
four stretcher bearers came to the sup,
port trenches for some wounded men.
The officer raised Red Cross flag in
plain view of the Germans and with
his men began to dress the wounds and
finally to put the soldiers on stretchers.
AS they walked off the Germans DELHI
erately fired on the party and the off,,
Ger went down. He got UP and started
again, but was hit second time and
did not get up.
almost at the same time we heard
a salvo of German three-inch shells,
which wounded all the stretcher-bear-
ers and. the wounded soldiers received
new wounds. Yet an spite Of this, an
other Red Cross party that same day
went out and brought in wounded men.
Need one say anything more? / think
not"
The work of the Red Cross on the
battlefield goes on night and day. In
variably the men and the 'ambulances
are in range of enemy guns. Devotion
to duty characterizes the Red Cross
workers and the American boys are
stimulated by this assurance.

Olympia, Wash-One look up and

the pedestrian from liability for con-
tfibutory negligence if he gets hit by

cording to ruling of the state SUI
preme court in confirming a judgment
for $3.50 against Oscar Peterson, a
Jitney driver, in favor of John Redick.
the driver appealed on the ground
that Redick had not used proper eau
ton in crossing the street.
