the benefit Of the soldiers.
Talks with French Fighter.
This morning / had an opportun-
ity to talk with soldier out of the
--th infantry, who had just re-
turned from his leave. He was a
typical fighting man of Uncle Sam,
hard as nails, clear eyed, bronzed
Of cheek, and he moved with the
easy grace OF the man who has had
military training and derived all Of
the physical benefits from it, From
one OF the larger cities Of a mid
western state, he enlisted and came
over with the first national guard
regiment to get actively into the
conflict
"say!" he exclaimed. Talk about
your times! All / had to do was
eat and sleep, listen TO orchestra
and band concerts, drink a little
beer, and take baths.
That's the finest part Of the
place, the baths" He turned around
for inspection. Just look me over.
I'm so damned clean / don't know
whether it's me or not. That place
must be a wonder in peace times.
It's well enough now, but I'll bet
there haven't been as many people
taking baths there in twenty years
as since the soldiers have started
going there for their vacations. The
fellows just fiocked and fiocked and
would have one with some other guy
just to feel socialble."
Believe me-" he continued, those
seven days were a little page Of the
dream book come true. Now I'm

BIG AUCTION MARCH 30

On Saturday afternoon March,
3Oth it is planned to hold one OF.
the largest auctions ever held in
Harrison county. The women of
the Red Cross are badly in need of
a working fund to purchase many
little incidcntals, necessary to do
their work in the most efficient
manner and they have no fund to
take care OF these expenses. A
committee from the War Service
Council decided to hold an auc-
ton to create a fund to help the
women out. All the goods to he
auctioned are to be donated and
this is an appeal for everyone to
donate whatever they can TO he
auctioned. Later announcements
will be made where donations can
be left. Remember the date, Sat-
urday, March 3Oth.

Hazel Mckain, stayed to supper.
and then perhaps gone to the
picture show. After making in
quiries at the different places
with no results they decided to
seek help from the citizens who
promptly responded. The young
stcr was found shortly after mid
night asleep at home under the
bed. She had been i'm the habit of
lingering at play on the way homo
from school and last week had
been punished for it and as she
did not reach home last evening
until five O'Clock thought she was
in for another. so decided to make

That Great West Front Drive

For the encouragement OF any
who have feage of the great Ger
man drive that is now taking
place just remember that when
the Allies hurled the Germans
back i'm 1914 with less than half
the German forces. They were
out numbered in guns and out
ranged i'm guns. The truth is that
the Germans greatest victories
have nat been military victories.
They have been the victories of
spies, of secret agents, promises
of peace and treacherous work of
every kind There is only one way
America can win and win we will.
That is every man, woman and
child, has got to enter the govern
ment service; make gardens, dc
Red Cross work, work in the gov
lernment factories, they are as ac-
Genital as the boys in France. In
union there is strength. We must
make war behind our fighting
men. The Huns cannot defeat us
but greed and treachery can dc
what no armies can accomplish
I'VE must trust our leaders ant
our Allies and we have got TO re
spond TO every call the govern
ment makes. We must be patien
and patriotic, unflinchable patri

Dear Mr.. Presidents:
beg to hand you herewith sew

a committee representing public
utility interests.
These papers indicate the exis-

fecled everybody else. and that
united effort will he necessary in
order to meet alike the public re-
quremcnts for service and the

which that service depends.

sincerely hope that you may

the schools of the United States in
the cultivation of home gardens.
Every boy and girl who really sees
what the home garden may mean,

pose with high spirits because |
am sure they would all like to feel
that they are in fact fighting in
France by joining the home gar

10 February, 1913
My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
have examined with care the
and letters which
YOU transmitted to me with your
letter on the Fifteenth. fully
share the views you express re-
gardng the Importance of tho
public service utilities as a part
of our national equipment, espec-
tally i'm wartime. 1t is essential
that these utilities should be
maintained at their maximum eff
fcicncy and that everything rea-
sonably possible should be done
with that end i'll view. ] hope that
state and local authorities, whore
they have not already done so,
will, when the facts are properly
laid before Them, respond prompt
ly TO the necessities of the situa-
lion.
shall be glad to have you COM
municalc With the local authori-
ties whenever the information in
your possession suggests that
such a course is desirable and in
the national interests.

BROADWAY.

The Girl in Pink" presented at
tho broadway by the Iii Jinks com
panv. is one Of the funniest comedies
written for this splendid company by
Edgar Barnett and those who wit
messed this hIll yesterday afternoon
laughed until tears virtually ran
down IN streams. The story relates
10 a masquc ball in which wine par
ties are carried on by men who have
a night out and think they are fool
ing their wives only to find out that
they, themselves, have born dupcd.
Tho scene between Edgar Barnett, Al
and Iuic Bridge in which Bridge slips
of for the first time In 30 years
and goes to sleep on his chicken,
is ono Of the funniest yet stag% by
this clever trio and AleBridge sure
has to do some explaining TO his
wife, the role Of which IS played by
Loip Bridge. Harry BowcrS scored
a nit a. one Of tho ladies' In pink. ."
other parts were clcverly taken 10y
Harry Cheshire, Harry Fral"y,
Misses Graves and Maine. The
Bridges scored agnin In "A song, I'm
der the American Flag" coupled
with clever dancing specially
while the Martin Sisters were forced
to respond to many enCores. Tn"
setting for this play is beautifully
staged.
