A BEAUTIFUL SERVICE

Last Sunday morning, a most i'm
pressive service was held at the
Christian church in memory and
honor of the boys who have answered
the country's call, from the church
and Sunday school
Special music for this occasion was
arranged by Mrs. holland and her ex-
cellent choir: the duet by Misses
johnson and Dunn and the solo by
Miss Mary Lee Lear were well rem
dered.
The honor roll was called and the
parents or nearest relative present
gave the latest news from the boy.
1t was most gratifying to hear Of the
wonderful service these young men
are rendering and their rapid advance
from private to Lieutenant, Sergeant
and etc. Bradley Bourne had the
distinction of answering to his name,
as he is at home on furlough.
The beautiful service flag contains
as blue stars, representing the boys
in active service, and one gold star
for Heidel Sanford, who lost his life
on the Jacob Jones when it was
struch by a submarine.
The roll was called by Mrs. George
Robinson, after which she read, most
impressively the following lines to
the Service Flag, written by Mrs. J.
A. Anon:
LINES TO THE SERVICE FLAG.
Oh! say can you see by the churchss
dim light;
What so proudly we hail AS the ser
vice flag flying?
Whose broad band and bright stars
thro this world wars great fight.
Represent our brave boys who are
fighting and dying,
And the gold star so fair and the blue
ones right there,
Give proof to us all that car boys are
over there.
All hail to the star spangled flag,
may il save
The land of the free and the home Of
the brave!
From the shores dimly seen our trans
ports are going,
While the foes naughty hosts in dread
silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze on the
church wall is blowing?
As it gracefully hangs, half conceals,
half descloses
The hearts that are aching, the homes
that are breaking.
In full glory rejecting the price we
are paying.
All hail to the star spangled flag,
may it save
T he land of the free and the home
Of the brave!
Oh! where is that band of French
men so brave?
Who plighted their lives in our own
Revolution?
Their spirits have prompted our own
boys to leave, ,
For the Western Front and the wars
desolation.
Americas sons answered the call
without fear,
And said, at his tomb, Lafayette,
we are here"
All hail to the Star Spangled flag,
may II save
The land Of the free and the home of
the bravel
Oh! thus let ii wave for our boys who
stand
Between their loved homes, and wild
wars desolation.

without orders. Copies Of these docu-
ments have fallen into the hands of the
French.
Another order, which emanates from
the German high command says: Dip

minating the war have begun. Their
conclusion will be all the more favor
able in proportion as we succeed N
keeping the army we'll in hand. in hold
ing the ground c nvuered and in doing
harm to the enemy. These principles
should guide the direction of the COM
bat days that are to follow.

HAVE GONE ACROSS

Washington, Oct discrimination Of
2.OoS,9I soldiers to participate in the
war overseas was disclosed by CORE
spondence between Secretary Baker and
President Wilson given out at the White
House tonight as the same time the
Presidents reply to the German note
was made public by the state depart
ment.
Il am sure that this will be a matter
of deep qualification and assurance to
the country said the President reply
ing to letter from Secretary Baker re-
porting on the number of men who have
sailed from American ports to Oct q.
The correspondence follows:
War Department.
Oct. %, 1918.
My Dear President: More than two
million American soldiers have sailed
from the ports in this country to par
ticipate in the war overseas. In report
ing this fact to you l feel sure that you
will be interested in the following data
showing the progress of our military eff
fort. In my letter of July 1st 1918, in
formed you that between May s, 1917,
and June So 1915 over million men
had either landed in France or were en-
route thereto. Since July fst. 1918, en-
barkations by months have been as fol-
lows: July So6,1S5, August 29o,s2S, Sep

Total 9S9,Sl6.
Embarked to July l. 1918. 1913. lis.
Grand total 2,oQS,931.
In our overseas operations I feel that
We have good reason to be proud and
thankful of the results obtained. Our
losses have been exceedingly small con-
sidering the size of the force transport
ed, and this is due to the efficient pro-
lection given American conveys by the
naval forces. We also have been great
iy assisted in the dispatch of troops
sells from our allies, principally those of
Great Britain
Cordially yours,

My Dear Secretary: I am very glad
to have your letter of this morning re-
PORTING that more than two million
American soldiers have sailed from the
ports of this country to participate in
the war overseas. l am sure that this
will be matter of deep qualification
and reinsurance to the country and that
everyone will join me in congra tulating
the war and navy departments upon the
steady accom- plshment in this all-im-
portant application of force to the lib
Grafton of the world. i...

Nothing TOO good for the pig is evil
IDENTIFY the sentiment expressed by one
of Hallowelrs citizens. The gentleman,
who lives on Wilder street. is one of ID
who have gone in for pig raising in that
neighborhood, and a lively contest has
been in progress for several weeks t.
see who will have the largest pig when
the time comes to call in the butcher
The story runs like this: On Tuesday
morning the mans better half, who the
day previous had been making m:nce
meat, left a kettlefull in the kitchen
and the man thought the mince meat
was swill for the pig and promptly car
ried it out to the pen and Mister Piggy
got one breakfast inside his belt that
was not upon the menu. Now the mans
neighbors claim that he isn't playing
the pig-raising game fair because he is
feeding the pig too high
