Can any one give . good reason.
Can any one tell me why.
A bond" for our nations freedom
Should be 4 hard thing to buy?
The Kaiser will give many reasons
Why you . Stacker should be;
He'll tell you that God in His wisdom
Is ,elping him crush you and me.
But if you've q son or husband,
A brother or sweetheart dear,
Who is fighting your battle, in khaki
Then the reason is ever more clear.
That every home in the nation
This badge of liberty own:
It's the very rest weapon to frighten
And make the old Kaiser groan.
So come with your GOLD and your
pennies
From palace and humble home;
Help nile these bonds Of freedom
As high as the Capitol dome.

at the Methodist church last Sunday.

Endeavor held Sunrise prayer meet
ing which was fitting opening for
the day. At ten o'clock the Sunday
school held very interesting session
with 23O present. The offering from
the school for missions was fifty dol
lars. The largest offering of an in
dividual class was eight dollars from
the W. o. Es. Mr.. Karl Mcintyre is
president, Miss Lewton secretary and
Miss Dee treasurer of this class, and
they are hustlcrs. s.- -u.1
The primary department brought in
I'm offering of eleven dollars.
At the close of the Sabbath school
the children gave very interesting
program which was followed by the
Easter sermon by the pastor A num-
Der of children were baptized and 9TH
ers received into the church.
At one o'clock the Liberty Bible
class served dinner to the members of
the class and all strangers present
This class had sixty-four present in
the Sabbath school.
After dinner a program was much
enjoyed. Mrs. Terry and Mrs. OFT
gave interesting readings, and Mr.
Austin spoke on the temperance ques-
tion. Let us all remember that we
must ever work apd pray for the
temperance cause. Colorado is not
yet dry.
Perhaps the crowning service of the
day was the Cantata given by the
choir. directed by Prof. Bunch, in
the evening. The crowd that filled
the church proved the popularity Of
the choir, and we only hope that Prof
Bunch and our faithful singers will
often favor us in this way.

cleared of the enemy. Further de-
tails are not available at this hour.
The Americans comprise the de-
tachments on the left wing Of the
advancing line. After capturing a
small wood shaped like the letter S
the Americans reached the enemy
cemetery at Veuilly and continued
to press forward slowly under a
heavy fire from German machine
guns.
During. the attack this morning at
dawn the German artillery fire
against the Allies was feeble, but the
enemy front line was we'll studded
with machine guns. In the action
this morning the Americans and
French advanced one kilometer into
the German lines and captured 270
prisoners, including 10 officers.
Forty-fve minutes after the fight
ing started one French regiment had
attained the border of Mares wood
500 Yards southeast of Bussaires,
Notwithstanding sharp resistance.
This regiment alone took more than
LOO prisoners.
