he was about TO set sail from Salem
on the brig Charles Doggett, bound
for the South Sea islands, he was pre-
scnted by friends with handsome
flag. When the colors were hoisted to
the halyards Capt. Driver exclaimed:
There is old Glory" Those who
heard the remark repeated II, the
newspapers took II up and the name
spread over the land. After many
wild adventures, including clash with
the csnnibal islanders Of the South
Seas, Captain Driver returned 70
America and decided to settle down.
He chose Nashville O. his place Of
residence and when the civil war broke
out he was one Of the very few i'd

THE SOLDIERS TAKING
GOVERNMENT INSURANCE

That the wise and beneficent law
providing Government insurance for
the military and naval forces of the
United States is fully appreciated by
the soldiers and sailors of the Nation
is being every day evidenced.
At Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg,
s. c., during the month Of November
nearly 10000 applications were sent
to the Bureau Of War Risk Insur.
ance; II per cent Of these was for
the maximum amount Of $4,000, %
per cent was for $4,000 and 6 per
cent was for lesser sums. In 16 COM
panies every single man applied for
insurance; in s units, 3 Of them full
companies, every man applied for the
maximum of $4,000.
A spirited campaign of education
mas been organized and is being con.
Quoted to furnish full and thorough
information of the workings of the
law to those coming under the pro.
and 1t is believed that the
great benefits of this wise and hui
name provision for the soldiers and
sailors of the United States and their
dependents will be availed of by prac.
Iically all of our fighting men.
AT the close of the business day of
December 20 the Bureau of War Risk
insurance had received applications
o the number of 272,122, aggregating
1855, 400, 900 of insurance.

in that respect. More than three
thousand pupils have thus far signed
the food card pledges and most of
the schools have been enrolled as
auxiliaries of the Fremont County
Chapter OF the American Red Cross
In order to become an auxiliary 1t is
necessary for each school To contribute
as nue. as twenty-five cents for each
pupil for Red Cross work, or to pledge
its equivalent in labor Of some kind
for the organization. Many of the
schools have already received their
certificates as members of the auxiI
larry and others will do SO as soon as
the certificates arrive from Denver
Fremont county school children
have subscribed many hundreds OF
dollars to the Liberty loans and have
purchased a large quantity of war saw
