Living at Home, now with Christ.
All! We all mourn him as earthly gone,
But It's the beginning of a spirltua!

He gave his life for humanity's peace
Now, he rests in Eternal Peace.
No, he's not gone, but is always near,
He's entering upon his spiritual career.

Altogether, the celebration was
a great success, and served to re-
vive some "reminiscences OF the
first time that the Fourth was Gel
ebrated at Island Park. At least
two persons were on the grounds
who attended the first celebration
thirtyfoul gears ago, viz: Mr..
Floyd Foote. whose home is now

then the predominating feature of

The War Savings drive last Fri

both brilliant successes. the quotas
allotted to the community both be
ing oversubsoribed.'
There we're several notable feat
ures connected with the Red Cross
drive at the Agency, which put
handsome fund in both the local
and the national organization. The
sale netted some $1,000, the lunch
and refreshment stand nearly S400
while the entertainment in the
evening netted another hundred.
the total proceeds being stated at
over S24O0.
The auction sale was held in the
new No Heart Park, which pro-
vides ample accommodation for a.
thousand or more people. The
list of contributed articles was
long and varied one, showing the
deep interest of our red neighbors
in all that pertains to the wining of
the great war.
The entertainment in the even
ing was easily up to the standard
of high class theatrlcals, being
greeted by crowded house. 1t

DO YOU BELIEVE in SIGNS

A crack in your chimney is a
sure sign that you are going to
move.
If you dream of smelling smoke
it is a sign that you are asleep and
had better wake up.
To see a paper-hanger papering
over fue hole indicates an i'm
pending loss
1t is bad luck to look in a dark
closet with match
III you can see your shadow from
an oil lamp while filing gasolene
stove, it indicates a crowd of peo-
pie coming to your house
When the wind means it is ex-
tremely bad luck to burn trash
near the house
If you smell gas or gasoline and
look for it with light, it foretells
that you are about to start on a
long journey
Even if your house and furni-
tnre are ''coverd by insurance." ii
is extremely unlucky to have them
burn on Friday the 18th. Con
