whose patriotism consists only in de-
claring themselves as patriots. Pro-
fessor Hun1 said further that at
such time it is not enough for a
citizen to speak his patriotism. 1t
is not enough for him to merely de-
clare himself loyal. Such patriotism
does not measure up to the needs of
the present time. At such time as
this one cannot be passive patriot,
but must take an energetic and posi-.
tive stand. Prof. Hunts remarks
were very impressive and brought
home to his audience the necessity
for service on the part of us who
stay at home, as we'll as those boys
who are represented on the service

The audience room of the church
was filled and the services were very
impressive.

Notice from the Red Gloss
Auxiliary of Kinnickinnic

1t has been suggested by the Of
ficers and committee of the Auxil-
liary, believing it our duty to give a
short explanation of the work done.
We organized July IS, 1917. We
have at the present time 158 mem
bers at 81 year which means
$I58.o0
From basket sale at Kinnic-
kinnic church 81 so
Children S donations from
school dist. of Kinnickinnic $50
Two farmer ladies each SOC LOO
Total $4,000
1t is further reported from the
sewing and knitting committee the
amount of work done by the ladies:
10 doz of hospital shirts
6 pairs of socks
2 pairs wristlets
scarfs
Sewing committee, Mrs. E. P.
Cole
Knitting committee, Mrs. Geo.
Fuller
This, CT course, speaks we'll for
Kinnickinnic as far as it goes but
we cannot see any reason why we
should not be able to double it.
More than two-thirds of these
members are, farmer ladies and
more than two dozen of these ladies
have been able to enroll their has
bands and whole families, some
large families at that.
Now, listen! We, your officers,
ask every man and woman this
question. Why is it you have not
seen fit to come forward with that
little one dollar to become mem
Der of the Red Cross army?
Can you yet afford to stand back
after reading of the torpedoing of
the Tuscania with the terrible suf-
ferinq and loss of lives of many of
our own boys.
We kindly ask you will you not
send in your dollar and become a
member, or phone to us and we
will be glad to come after it?

Health Conditions

Torment need have no fear from
Senator Chamberlain revelations

ingly low death rate-sma than
it would have been among the same
number of men al home.
Here are some Of the facts:
Of $500 soldiers who have been
at Camp Grant since August Is, on.
ly twenty-three have died.
Among $4,000 selected men only q
deaths have occurred-three from
appendicitis, six from pneumonia,
one from a disease contracted in
civil life and two from alcoholism
from which they were suffering
when they detrained.
Of the $4,000 men in camp there
are today but III patients in the
base hospital. 1t contains 1880
beds. The wards and sick rooms
are cleanliness itself and up to the
most scientific modern standards.
General Kennon and General Mar
tin view the healthy condition Of the
men as proof that winter training
in the North is beneficial. Much of
the credit for the low death rate,
however, is due to their personal in
sistance on a rigorous out-of door
schedule in all sorts of weather.

Dedication Of Service
Flag at M. {. Church

A large audience witnessed the
dedication of the beautiful service
flag at the Methodist church Sunday
morning. Stirring addresses were
made by Mr.. Oscar Weberg and
Prof. Karges. These addresses full
of patriotism and loyalty aroused
much enthusiasm and found hearty
response in every loyal heart. The
male quartette sang The Recession
al and A Flag Without Stain.
There are IS stars on the flag and
as the names were read by the pas
tor, keen interest was felt by ev-
eryone present in our boys at the
front, and the tie which binds us to
the present conflict was materially
strengthened. The flag is the gift
of the Ladies Aid society of the
church, and we are sure that a serv-
ice like this greatly helps to Keep
the Home Fires Burning.
The following list of names are
the boys from church who are in
service:

River Falls Trims
Superior Again

River Falls Normal again triumph
ed over the Superior Normal five
last Friday night on the latters'
floor.
The Superior boys d m d
themselves, for their defeat here,
by giving our boys a hard rub.
River Falls was somewhat handi-
capped by a small narrow floor which
resulted in a rather rough game.
Superior started the scoring with a
field goal. Reed came back with an
other for the '|Falls." Both teams
shot often missing easy goals. The
half ended with the score IA to II in
our favor.
Superior came back stronger than
ever in the second half. They made
our boys work for every point they
got. Reed and Megorden succeed
ed in breaking away for few field
goals thus keeping the score about
even. With about five minutes left
to play, one of the Superior guards
threw field goal which passed the
tally one point to their favor. This
was too much for the Fails" so
they started scoring by dropping
the ball through the loop four times
in succession in the last four min
utes of play. The game ended with
a score of 81 to "a in our favor.
Reed again was a marked man by
scoring seven field goals. Peterson
played a good CONSTANT game, hold
ing Superior's star forward score
less

Are the Women of River
Falls SIackers?

We do not like to think so, but,
the Red Cross output each week is
far below what it should be. The
room is open every afternoon and a
few are trying to do the work that,
every woman in town should help
to do. This means YOU, not your
neighbor. If you have only one hour
each week to spare, give it in the
Red Cross work room.
