IN service rag.
To the Sunday School of the First
Baptist Church;
Some fourteen months ago this
Committee was appointed by the
School to purchase a United States
flag together 4. with another flag
that should be known as Service
Flag, this flag to have a star for
every boy who had gone out from
this Church in defense of his coun-
try. These flags were bought and
have been conspicuous on the walls
of this sacred edifice. This was a
fitting tribute to these noble boys,
mnay of whom recited their first
Sunday School lesson within the
walls of the old Church and whose
childish feet have run up and down
the aisIes. They faclude: Arnold
Burkert, Ernest Bukert, William
i. Goree, Sam b. Boiling, Clyde

rs. 1t would afford this Committee
n great deal of pleasure to give
a little history of each one of these
boys, for several of them distin-
guished themselves by going over
the top IN several of the worlds
greatest battles, the horrors of
which made some raving maniacs
and frosted their hair IN single
night. Thank God, it is over and as
we fold Old Glory wy do so with an
earnest prayer that never again
will it be unfurled to lead our boys
in bloody warfare, but rather the
ianncrts that shall wave over the
Ian dof the Free and the Home of
the brave and Peace, sweet peace,
shall reieti- until the Prince of
PeaceY shall dome again. 'fsHp o.

dead ashes. We have placed gold stars
on this Service Flag in honor of
their memory, but we rejoice to
believe that our Heavenly Father
will place 4 stars in their crown
whose brilIiancy will never grow
dim throughout the ceaseless ages.
We therefore, recommend that
this little history together with
this Flag be given to our Superin-
tendent and his successors to keep

TRACT MAY BE LET SOON.

According to Washington dispatch
es the sundry civil appropriation bill,
which has just been passed by the
lower house of congress, carries an

This is understood to be in addi-
ton to the original appropriation of

for the site, and is made to cover
the advance in the price of labor and
material. 1t will make 100000 that
will be spent in the construction OF
the building.
According to letter received by

CAPT. PERRY COOKE
SURPRISED HOMEFOLK
ARRIVED UNEXPECTEDLY AT.
TER FOUR YEARS WITH THE
CANADIAN ARMY.

Captain l. P. Cooke, of the Cana
dian army, gave his mother, Mrs.
Minnie Cooke, and other Dawson rel
atives and friends a happy surprise
when he arrived Unexpectedly Fri
day morning after an absence of sew
eral years. He is here on 80 days
furlough.
This young Dawsonian has possibly
seen more actual service in the re-
cent world war than any other Geor-
gian. He enlisted in the Canadian
army on the third of February, 1916,
and was on the battlefelds of France
within less than thirty-six days from
that time.
He took part in the famous strug-
gle at Ypres, the seige of Vimy
Ridge. the fighting at Cambria, the
storming of Lille and the final drive
of the Canadians in October and No
vember, 1918, besides many minor
engagements. At one time in 1917
his company remained in the trench
es for over nine weeks.
He has been wounded three times,
but has entirely recovered with the
exception of slight defect in the
hearing of his left ear. In his over
three years service he has been away
from his original battalion less than
four months, which time was spent IN
French and English hospitals.
Decorated by King.
Captain Cooke received the distinc-
ton of being personally decorated
by King George of England with the
distinguished service medal, besides
being awarded the cross of merit by
his army commander, Sir Henry
Rawlinson, the general of the Fourth
British army.
The rise of Captain Cooke in a
foreign army has been little less than
remarkable He enlisted as private
at Toronto, Canada, was made a ser,
geant in a short while, and received
his first lieutenancy for bravery on
the battlefield at Vimy Ridge. He
was awarded his captains commits
sion on the day of the signing of the
armistics.
Captain Cooke has not decided
whether he will remain in the Cana
dian service.
