is enjoying vacation from his
labors on the beautiful shores OF
Otter lake at the Frazer cottage,
had birthday one day last
week. This in itself is not
surprising, insomuch that he
was not born on the 31st day of
February, but in the month of
Julv and hot weather. Brown
told the reporter of the News
what scrumptuous time was
had, ad litum, SO on and so
forth, and it certainly was some
beautiful birthday celebration
with the proper amount OF femi-
ninity present to add that grace
and beauty necessary to the
occasion. Brown is from Mil

GOD BLESS THE RED CROSS
SOCIETY"

In almost every letter sent
home by the soldier boy, he
says "Cod bless the Red Cross"
And at that what must those few
people who refused to give the
Red Cross membership ($1.00)
think when they know that they
are aiding Germany and other
enemies of the United States by
refusing to donate. Have they
no loyalty for their country, and
do they think of the sacrifice
the American boy is making for
their safety? Shame on them.
They are a disgrace to any COM
munity.
