NORMAN HALL WAS
LIKED IN COLLEGE
A Brief Outline of his Career ut
- ,ftf
GrinneiI College, Where he was
Popular.

Norman Hall, famous American
airman who was recently brought
down behind the German lines, was
graduate of Grinnell college with
the class of 1910. He was a class
mate of Murray McMurray of this
city.
While in college Hall took an i'm
portant part in many school activi-
ties. He devoted much time to the
editing of The Unit" college liter
airy magazine. Through his efforts
such high standard was reached
that many of the issues was said
by critics to be on par with many
professional publications. Since leav-
ing college Hall had devoted much
time to writing and had become wide
ly known through his works.
Besides editing THE Unit" he
was member of the Chrestomathia
literary society of the 1919 college
annual board and of the mems glee
club.
A canoe trip down the Big Skunk
river from his home at ColfaX to
Keokuk and another down the Des
Moines river from Boone to St. Louis
are evidences of his adventurous
spirit while in college
A characterization of Norman Hall,
written by one of his classmates dur
ing his college days, is quoted below:
Here's Il strange mixture, indeed
A lot of talent and ability cemented
together by good hard work and APP
plication and smoothed over by a
sort of genial good fellowship and
spiced with dashes of mischief and
deviltry which belied his general ap-
pearance and reputation. That's
Norm When you see him properly
ensconced on the chapel platform
with the Vesper choir, the sight
would never remind you of midnight
escapades and Halloween pranks but
Things are not always what they
seem.'"

Well Known Webster City Physician
who has Been Stationed ut Fort

Leave.
LEAVE SOME TIME THIS MONTH
Writes Letter to r. d. HugIles.-Mrs.
Hannah ut Junction City Near
Camp.
LEAVE SOME TINE THIS MONTH

DR.. Ward Hannah, who recently en-
listed in the medical corps and has
been stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas,
for some two months, writes r. d.
Hughes of this city that he has been
listed among the men from camp who
will be sent to France some time this
month. Two hundred physicians from
Fort Riley will be sent, fortyseven Of
which are from Dr. Hannah's company.
There are sixty-three men in this COM
pany.
Mrs. Hannah is at Junction City,
Kansas, the nearest town to Fort Riley,
where she expects to stay until the
doctor leaves. DR.. Hannah writes Mr..
Hughes that he expects to ask for a
short furlough and that if he gets it,,
he and Mrs Hannah will make a short
trip to Colorado Springs and other
points in Colorado.
The doctor is anxious to get to
France, where he will be assigned to
active hospital work. 1t is rather un-
usual to send men across after as little
training as he has had and the fact
that he has been listed to go so soon is
an indication of his ability as a physi-
clan. His host of Webster City friends
send best wishes.

has made his annual report, covering
all expenditures and collections of the
Red Cross in this county for the past
year. 1t shows that the total amount
of money handled is $26,311.90, which
is larger by far than the average per-

with pleasure that the local expense
of the workrooms is only about 3 per
cent of the total. The balance on hand
is $195.10 and the estimated value of
the stock is $500. Mr. Crosley's re-
port constitutes a high tribute to the

Hold Funds.

Funds at kamrar and StanhOpe are
being held to apply on their quota of
the second war fund and balance then
to be turned into general Red Cross
fund, Jewell Chapter having already
paid into the county chapter treasury
about $1,45O to apply on it's war fund;
the difference if any, in all these chap
ters, yet to be raised if necessary.
With all bills paid and the quotas
of the chapters equalized as to pay
ments made and amounts to be raised
to cover proportionate shares of funds
heretofore completed and those yet to
be raised to cover the war fund and
for supplies and expenses for the sum-
mer months, there will be a balance
OF $4,000 in our treasury-making it
necessary to raise at least $19,500 in
order to pay $4,000 of the war fund
and to leave at least $4,000 to carry us
through the summer months in the
purchase of materials for the work
rooms and yarn for those who knit.
The campaign to start May 20 will be
to raise at least $19,5O0 for the Red
Cross

'DO not Your Aims Before Men,,

A two dollar bill came to the Red
Cross Saturday enclosed with scrip
ture reference: Mathew 6:1-2-3-A
There was no other Identification
mark and the reference was found to
be the following verses of scripture:
Take heed that We do not your
aims before men, to be seen of them ::
otherwise We have no reward of your
Father which is in heaven.
Therefore when thou doest thine
aims, do not sound trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets, that
they may have glory of men. Verify
l say unto you, They have :heir re-
ward
But when thou doest aims, let not
thy left hand know what thy right
hand doeth:
THAT thine aims may be in secret;
and Thy Father which seeth in s,c.et
himself shall reward thee openly"
