SALVATION ARMY DRIVE,

Harrison county is being lined up
for the national Salvation Army
drive, which is to be held Sept. % to
80.
The Salvation Army did such noble
work for the boys in France that the
people of the country feel that it is
an imposition to make them beg for
funds in the old way with tamborines
and a house to house canvass, so they
have pledged this noble band that the
American people will raise this mon
ey for them.
The quota for Harrison county is
only $4,000, which can easily be raised
in one day.
The officers for Harrison county
are:
Chairman, Geo. S. Irwin, sr., Wood
bine.
Secretary, Ben w. stearns, Logan.
Treasurer, A. j. Coe, Woodbine.
The old time war organization
methods are to be used, that is, ask
ing each one to drop in to designat-
ed place on specified day and give
what he thinks he can.
If you do your bit, as the Salvation
Army did theirs in France, the fund
will be long way over the top.

is further advanced than it was at
this time in 1912, when the largest
crop on record was raised. The aver
age number Of bushels of corn per

BOYS sTOIC SILENCE MAY
CAUSE TROUBLE

The stoica fortitude with which
little Robert BLY,, 7-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. BLY,, 923 Avenue c.,
has borne the suffering resultant
from blow in the head received
some time ago when he was struck
by heavy brick while playing in the
yard with his brothers, may lead to
serious trouble for him. He com
planned little of the wound at the
time, and it was not thought serious.
Recent complications have brought to
light the fact that internal injuries
had resulted and that the collection
of decomposed flesh and clotted blood
in the skull had caused the boys eyes
to begin to protrude from their sock
cts.
DR.. Mary FINLEY performed an op-
Grafton on the boys head. and an
nounced his condition as serious, but
stated that the boys faculty of with
standing pain and submitting ia
treatment, as well as his roous- ply
sique, might enable him to recover.

says that he is suffering the most

HUMAN CHRISTMAS TREES.

Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps
wore one Of the most exquisite gowns
ever seen in Denver. It had very lit
tie front, and less back, but what
there was of it was beautiful. The
material was white silk, heavily en-
broidered in feather design with spun
silver. The bodice was a shadow lace
and she wore ropes of pearls that
reached below the waist" The pre-
ceding from Colorado exchange
will interest anybody who knew the
lady when she used to pound type
writer in Denver for living. Phipps,
the millionaire steel magnate. mar
ried her, and later when she got too
frisky he divorced her, arranging an
alimony settlement of few millions
upon her. Thus is virtue always,
more or less, its own reward.
Another dispatch in the same paper
tells of Denver dame being robbed
of $4,000 worth Of diamonds and
jewelry. Our sympathy is scattered
around good deal, but it never
reaches the woman who has for
tune in jewels stolen. Providing she
is not running a three-ball loan agen-
cy or engaged in the jewelry busi-
ness no woman needs such store Of
sparklers, and can usually afford to
lose them if she does. Not that we
wish to encourage the second-story
gent, because he doesn't earn
what he gets with, his taking ways,
but neither does the woman who wore
them so proudly the evening, before,
as q general rule, although she may
have sold herself at that price, which
was too much. A woman who could
earn that much money would be a
wise one, more likely to invest it in
real estate than rubies, and the kind
Of woman who allows man to work
her over into high-priced Christmas
tree is not entitled to much sympa-
