PRESBYTERIAN
BOYS HONORED
SERVICE FLAG WITH SIX STARS
uNFURLED AND ENTERTAIN
MENT GIVEN AT THE
CHURCH..

Sunday morning at II o'clock a SER
vice flag was raised at the Presby-
terrain church on Pulaski Heights. The
Rev. Lindsay preached on 1.-THE Land
We Love-" and the presentation was
made by Hugh D. Hart. Mrs. Will
Henniger sang solo,
The flag has six stars for the boys
who have joined the colors. They are
Lieut.. Geo. Garanfio, 348th Infantry,
Camp Pike; William Babcock, Aerial
Squadron, somewhere in France; Ser
geant James H. Meek, 154th Infantry,
Camp Beauregard; Lieut.. Lawrence
Witherspoon, o. M. c., somewhere in
France; Harry West Holmes and Will
liam Thompson Holmes, honorary first
lieutenant government construction
work in France.
Members and friends of the Pulaski
Heights Presbyterian church enter
tanned 40 men from the 312 Mobile
Ordnance Repair Shop, Camp Pike, on
last Wednesday night. The church was
beautifully decorated in the national
colors, the Stars and Stripes being the
central motif in each eeffcty Guam
titles of dogwood blossoms and wild
violets gave the touch characteristics
of 1.-THE Heights" The evening was
informal, lively games being inter
spersed with program numbers includ-
ing a violin solo by Mrs. B. M. Nc
Cormick; vocal solo, Miss Marie My
ers and reading by little Miss Vir-
ginia Murphy. An interesting feat
ure was the presentation of Pulaski
Heights violets by the little girls of
Miss Nell Kelly's class, Virginia
Clark, Margaret Ream, Frances Lip
sey, Ruth Johnson, Neva Bunkley and
Jane Rinkley. Each little girl car
ried an Easter basket filled with
punches of violets, which were dis,
tributed among the soldier guests, af-
ter an explanation read by Ruth John
son, which told the story of an
Italian family who had moved here
from Parma, Italy, and longing for a
sign of their native land, they sent
back for seed of the violet they loved
at home and planted it here. As the
climate is similar to that part of
Italy the yiolets hardly knew the diff
ference and blossom as prettily on
Pulaski Heights as in Italy. Several
comic songs and readings were given
by member of the company, Private
Roeback, and songs were sung by all
present Refreshments were served
in the parlors during the evening,
"handwork" tables being camouf1aged
attractively by white damask and
center bowls of Parma" violets. AS
sisting in serving were G. G. New
ham, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. r. S. Binkley
and Mrs. T.. J. Jordan. During re-
freshments patriotic songs were sung
by the pupils of Miss Kelly's class
who were hidden behind a large
American flag. Captain and Mrs. A
T. Ayers were guests of honor. Chap
lain E. G. Lindsey, Presbyterian Camp
Pastor and pastor in charge of Pu
laski Heights Presbyterian church
was master of ceremonies. The af
fair was in charge of Mrs T. T. My
ers with the following chairmen; re

Over The Top.

We are proud of the fact that Shep-
herdstown was one Of the first COM
munities in the United States TO go
over the top in the sale of bonds of the
Third Liberty Loan. Our apportion-
ment was SAC, 300, and We quickly
passed the mark-now We are going to
try increase our share by at least 50
per cent We got our flag for exceed
ing our apportionment last Saturday
from the Secretary of the Treasury,
and it is memento that We shall prize
highly.
The Jefferson Security Bank of this
place was the fourth bank in West Viz
GINA to sell its full apportionment Of
bonds. A bank at Pennington was first,
one at Gary was second, Monongah
third and our Shepherdstown institu-
ton fourth in order Of priority. To
date the Jefferson Security has sold
bonds in excess Of $4,000, while the
Farmers Bank has disposed Of ST, 800.
Both banks have a number of sub
scriptions that have not yet been en-
tered up formally, as they have not
yet been signed for, and the above
figures are sure to be materially in
creased. Every person in the commu-
nifty who can do so is urged to buy a
bond, whether il be for large or small
amount, and thus show our loyalty and
our progressiveness.
Harper's Ferry has also exceeded its
apportionment, but other sections Of the
county are bit behind in this good
work The minimum for this county
is Sl73,700, and so far less than $780,
900 has been sold Ii is confidently
believed, however, that the county will
go over the top before the campaign is
ended.

A Proclamation By the Mayor of Shep-
herdstOwn. w. Va.

For one hundred and forty years the
people of the United States have enjoy
ed freedom as nation under our pres
ent form Of government. We have pros
pered and grown in numbers, wealth
and power as no other nation has ever
grown. Today the serpent of autocracy
has coiled and is now ready to strike
the most vital principles of free govern
ment everywhere.
Behold Russia, a few short months
ago enjoying the privileges of a rude
democracy, betrayed by few fanatical
lunatics into the hands of Germany.
Today her armies are diSorganized,
civil war is broadcast, robbery and
slaughter are rampant on every hand.
To avoid like horror in our own dear
home land, we are called upon to pur-
chase Liberty Bonds without stint or
limit.
Now therefore |, J. L. WaIdeck,
Mayor of ShepherdStown, do by this
proclamation designate and set apart
April 20, 1918, as Liberty Day, to be
observed as President Wilson requests.
| request all patriotic persons, both
young and old, TO be present at the
public exercises to be held from 2 p.
m. to 3 p. m, and | further request that
all homes and business houses as we'll
as public buildings be decorated with
the national colors, as an evidence of
our desire to see the war fought to a
successful conclusion. All business
places are requested to close during the
exercises
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand.
J. L. WALDECK, Mayor.

A Sunday Night Alarm.

Last Sunday night between nine and
ten o'clock the fire bell rang an alarm,
and as it was a pleasant evening a good
many persons responded to the call
The most excitement was caused in the
colored Methodist church, when some
one came in and announced that II was
the parsonage that was afre. The
pastor, Rev. J. N. Yearwood, and his
congregation lost no time in ending the
service and proceeding to the scene, a
block or two away. Fortunately the
damage was small. A rather hot stove
in a bedroom upstairs had set fire to
the bed and some clothing hanging near,
and while it made a lot of smoke it was
discovered before the blaze got beyond
control. Burwell Harris was the hero,
and threw the burning material out OF
the window, the while smoking cigar
that was strong enough to keep him
from being affected by the other smoke.
The fire engine was gotten out but was
not put in action The whole incident
was over before some of the ladies near
by had time to take their hair out of
curling papers
