THE COST

RED GROSS NOTES

The Christmas Membership drive in Williams is proving a. one hundred per cent success under the management of Dr. E. A. Miller. He has been very fortunate in securing the assist ance of good workers. We feel confident that Williams will go over the top two hundred per cent as it has in all drives for winning the war.
 Because the war is over we must not think that the work of the Red Cross is fnishd. The work in France will continue until the last American soldier comes home and until the suf- fering in the allied countries has been alleviated.
 Have you a heart and a-doL lar?
 Mrs. Lyons, field representa- tive of the Canteen Service was in Williams for two days last week visiting the CanteeE Section of the Red Cross. She reports that she has found things in a very satisfactory condition, and that the work of the Williams Canteen service is recognized both at the Pacific Division Office and at Washing ton as a very efficient service
 The Williams Canteen Serv- ice has been asked to furnish aR escort nurse for wounded sol diers from Williams to King man and also to Winslow. Mrs | A. M. Rousseau will have charge of this work and she will name her assistants soon- Williams won the highest award in the state and the third highest award in the Pacific Division for the greatest num- Der of contributors per-capita to the Second War Fund Drive The honor banners have arriy- ed and are now on display al the Citizens Bank. Go look at them and feel proud that our town has done it's part in the winning of the war

Prize 4 Minute Talk By LenOre Reese

We fought in the great war for ideals, our ideals of democ- racy and freedom. We fought to make this world better, happier place to live in, and in order to make the world happy and peaceful, we must convince Germany that her ideals are wrong. Her ideals of auto cracy and militarisn must be abolished. We must show her that killing civilians and attack ing small countries is not the way to gain respect, that cruel ty and pillage only arouse a fierce desire for revenge and does not make friends or ad- nirers.
 Guns are not the only instru- ments of war. We can't win with guns only. As a nation we must prove our belief in demo- cracy and freedom by living up to it. We must prove our will ingness to help make people 1lo oPP1O1 Oy oOIIIS dIl WE SdIA HI any way to help.

EDWARD DUFFY

1 %0uuftIB0 OOtu
 The body of Edward Duffy who died here last Friday night at the hand of two thieves and murderers who planned to rob Duffy Brothers store, was laid at rest in the local cemetery, Monday. The funeral service was conducted by Father Hootsmann, at the local Catho- lie church at the hour of High i Mass, 10:30 am. The service was beautiful one with sweet and consoling chants and mus ic.
 In addition to the immediate relatives, a large number of the friends of the late MT. Duffy were present at the service: These friends came in an effort to give expression to the warm affection and high esteem felt for their departed fellowtowns- man and to extend their deep felt sympathy to the mourning relatives.
 Edward Duffy was born near Londonderry, Ireland, October 22, 1871. He came to America in 1912, coming directly to Williams where he engaged in the general merchandise busi- ness with his two brothers, M t. B. and Manus, in the firm of Duffy Brothers. From that day until the day of his death, he resided in Williams continu- ing in business with his broth CTS.
 'Ed"S as he was commonly known, was a big warm blood ed son of Ireland, with heart so large and kind and generous that he won the firm friendship and affection of all who came to know him. It may be truth fully said that be had not an enemy on the earth. He was so loved because he was great in the little things of life-in kind ness, generosity, friendship charity. and good will which after all are among the dearest of human treasures. It was be- cause of these things, that the little children loved him as they did, and their love was re- turned in kind and was often expressed in tokens that depict ed the firms store of candies and other goodies.
 That death should come by means of an assassin's bullet is as inexplicable as that right liv- ing men and women and inno- cent children should often fall the prey of fire and flood. We can do no better than repeat, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away"
 It is sad blow to the broth CTS of Mr.Duffy to be thus yio- lently deprived. of their steady. thrifty and hard working broth CT, and the entire community grieves at the loss of this big I1SdI LOo C1CIZ0n WHO so u1O0aSL- ingly lived the Golden Rule. If anyone ever earned his great aim in life, surely Ed Duffy had earned the visit back to the Old Country, to which he fondly looked forward Here again we must bow to the Infinite, know ing that MT. Duffy's reward for life of service and right Ev- ing, is now far greater than any that might ever have been his on earth. And so, trusting in the justice and wisdom of the great God whose hand is seen in the con trol of the destinieS of nations as in the lives of individuals, it is for us rather to be grateful that such a brother and such a friend as Ed Duffy was permit ted us for even so long a time, than to mourn that he Is now called from us.
