A RED CELEBRATION

A young man by the name of Peter
Mullersmann, living in this vicinity
put on a rather scarlet-hued eelebra-
ton in this city Monday evening, in
celebration of the fact that bloody war
had ended. For the occasion he rode
in red Ford, and left roseate hue
behind him, while he was going as
well as after he stopped. His mad
careening would at any other time
have caused considerable terpidation,
especially among the more timid, but
on that occasion everyone was so ov-
erfowing with their own enthusiasm
as to hardly notice the red car and its
reckless driver.
But the end Of Mullersmann's cele-
bration came suddenly to an end when
he was racing down Columbia street.
He either lost sight of the road, or the
car--possibly both and the cred
devil" jumped into the gutter in front
Of Mrs. Elgin's residence, turned tur-
tie, and spilled Mullersmann with con-
siderable force While he sustained
no serious damages, he was considera-
bly, bruised, and was satisfied to de-
clare his part of the celebration ended.
A companion fortunately escaped
without injury.

FOOTBALL GAME HERE
f.a THANKSGIVING DAY

What bids to be real treat in the
line of football will be staged here
turkey Day. There has for the last
several years been sort Of rivalry be-
tween Farmington and Perryville as
W which town had the best football
team, usually measured by the games
between the High School teams.
~ The grand smash above referred to
win be between the much-heralded
and widely-known Pennington All
Stars and the Perryville All-Stars
The lineup of the aforementioned
team will contain such old heads
at the game as Tom Mckinney
and Taylor Smith, the mention
of whose names to an opposing
player causes a decided weakness
at the knees. The lineup also con-
tains other stars whom we not dare
mention. The Perryville lineup will,
no doubt, also be strong one,
Besides the chance of getting to see
real football game, the contest has
another drawing card. The proceeds
Of the game will, very periodically, be
contributed to the United War Work
Campaign. If you want to help the
war work campaign and see a good
football game, get out and see the

DANGEROUS EXPERIMENTS

A man rocked a boat to see if it
would tip. It did.
A laborer stepped on a nail to see if
it would go through his shoe. 1t did.
A man looked into gun to see if
it was loaded. 1t was.
A press hand kept his foot on the
treadle to see If it would repeat. 1t did.
A woman looked into a patent med
icine booklet to see if she was sick.
She was.
Last June a helper smelled escap-
ing gas and lit a piece of oily waste
to find the leak. He found it.
A drill press hand wore pair of
gloves to see if he would get caught.
He was.

PRESBYTERIAN Church

1t u.s. hoped that the Closeup ban"
will be lifted soon but while it is on
all Christian people should not fail to
be earnestly in prayer and study of
Gods word. The Sabbath affords an
unusual opportunity for this.
The members of this church are re-
quested to remember the following
things in their prayer and devotions
Sunday: First, there should be a
prayer of thanksgiving for the dawn
Of the day of peace that had begun.
1t seems pity that public services
are forbidden just now when multi
tudes would assemble to thank God
for the victory, but this need not him
der the thanksgiving in every home
and heart. Then, a special prayer of
intercession should be offered that
God might heal our Land of this
scourage of influenza. With Isaiah
we should cry, lord, how long," and
beseech that His hand be lifted to
heal Finally, may we not earnestly
pray that the interrupted services of
worship in the sanctuaries do not
wayer our faith in or abate our zeal
for Jehovah, or God, and Christ, our
Lord and Savior; but only make US
the more conscious of our utter need
and dependence upon Him at all
times. The International Sabbath
School lesson affords splendid study
for next Sabbath. r. S. BOYD.

OUR DEAD WILL BE RETURNED

A great many hearts which have
been saddened by the loss of loved
ones during this great war will be
comforted with the thought that the
bodies of their dead will be returned
to this country for burial after the
war. They are finding but tempo
rary burial in the soil of France.
This plan of the war department
has been disclosed by the publica-
ton of articles Of agreement between
the army and navy regarding the
transportation of sick and wounded
from overseas.
Two brass medals, tied together.
are suspended around the neck of
every one of our soldiers. The med
ais contain the name and number Of
the soldier. At the time of inter-
ment one OF the medals is removed
and the other left. A corps of men
is detailed for the purpose of mark
ing the grave wherever possible and,
in any event, the body carries a rec
ord which will last for many years.
With our belief in Immortality,
this may impress some as being a
bit gruesome. Not so, we are sure,
the relatives of the dead heroes.
There is something wonderfully COM
forting about being able to visit the
spot where all that remains of the
body of loved one is inferred. and
the feeling OF utter loss which is felt
on receipt OF a government message
reading, I'VE regret to inform you,
etc." will be somewhat mitigated by
the thought that some day when this
cruel war is over, the bodies may be
returned to this side of the water
flor burial

CHAIRMEN HELD MEETING.

The chairmen of the various
townships in the county who will
have charge of the Fourth Liberty
LOAN met in the Commercial Club
rooms in this city last Friday eve
ming. The purpose of the meeting
was the discussion of organizing for
the bond sale, which will be held late
in September.
A committee composed of E. S.
Van Gorder, F. h. Mclaughlin and
Percy Hallock, was appointed to de-
sign plans for the successful carry
ing out of the next loan. Their re-
port will be heard at a later meet
ing, when final action will be
taken.
The Fourth Liberty Loan will
probably be the largest one author
lied thus far, and it is hoped that
an equitable plan will be devised.
There was little friction in the
last big drive. but by careful study
of the conditions in all parts of the
county this can be avoided.
The people of the county are anx-
ious and willing to do their share.
but they feel that one county should
not be expected TO go over the top
SEQ per cent while some other coun-
ty barely comes within its quota. No
matter what Audubon's quota is to
be, we feel positive that it will be
met. The amount for the various
counties OF the state have not yet
been announced, neither has the al
llotments for the townships been
made public. This, however. will
come out in a few days no doubt.
