HELP OUR LOCAL CHARITIES

The Dunlap 0rphanage is in press
ing need Of funds to pay for nurses
medicine and nourishment for the
little ones who have neither father
or mother to provide for them. Many
of them are still suffering from in
fluenza, two Of them being critically
i'll; and many more are confined to
their beds. This is charity that
should appeal to all. The orphanage
is located in this county, and GER
tainly the people of Upton county
will not permit suffering and perhaps
death among the children there for
the lack of few dollars.
Donations and subscriptions will
be received by Mrs. John 7. Garner
and Miss Virginia VanMeter. The
call is urgent, and everybody should
contribute something, be it large or
small. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that this call will not go unheeded.
Send your subscriptions to either of
the above named ladies, at this place.

LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS

For the past several months We
have endeavored to publish either all
or excerpts from all the soldier let
ters given us for publication We
now find that we have more letters
on hand than we can hope to pub
fish. Some of them are very inter-
esting. and would add materially to
our news columns; but the govern
ment has demanded that we reduce
the use of newsprint paper Is per
cent, and as far as possible to keep
our paper within eight pages. At
this season of the year, when we
have such heavy calls for our space
from advertisers, we find it extreme
ly difficult to confine our paper to
eight pages and still give our sub
scribers all of the county news, to
say nothing of other communications.
For this reason we are forced to dis
continue the publication of soldier
letters, unless they contain news that
would be of unusual interest to our
readers in general.

In iridescent beauty burn.

That shades OF deeds forgotten rise
SO live that in thy sunset glow
Deeds beautiful greet dreaming eyes.
Thrice glorious Peace in Freedoms hue,
Who smiles away the clouds of war,
In Freedoms red and white and blue,
Humanity's blest servltor.

Now floods the world with Freedoms light;

Forever drives away the night
Somewhere in France" in glory sleep,
Coumbias sons, who gladly died.
Victorious millions vigil keep
That peace and freedom reign worldwide.

The star Of Bethlehem again,
While angels sing the glad refrain
Of "Peace on earth, good will to men,"
