 Confident in the generosity and sense of justice of all true Americans. they have in turn requested the Oo- operation of those not of their race and faith. The Jews of our land have seldom asked assistance in car ins for the wants of their needy, bur themselves have always come for ward with liberal subscriptions to ev- cry worthy cause, and in the national crisis have given freely or men. money and moral support in tho win ming of the war The Jew has been . wanderer on ths face of the earth, vet no race born of the centuries has been more lsw-abidinE, liberty-loving or patriotic.
 A statewide campaign is planned for the purpose of raising funds to aid the thousands of suffering ana starving Jewish people in Russia. Po- land. Galathia and other portions of Europe and Asia. So coInmendable

 To the People of Arkansas:
 The State of Arkansas has boon called upon again to do her duty to su6ering humanity in the war zones. We have responded generously in every instance to alleviate suffering humanity and to feed starving people during the bloody conflict which has just closed, and now ws are again asked to do our duty to other suffer err. Since Jerusalem has been talk sn from the cruel Turks by the vic. toriouS Allied armies, there has been sincere rejoicing throughout the civ fliEed world at the breaking down of the despotic power which so long has ruled the Holy Land to the detriment of its first citizens, the Jews. In order that these Jewish people may enjoy the full benefit of these tri unphs. they must first be put in a position to help themselves. Through. out the war-stricken districts of Eu rops and Asia, countless thousands of these patriotic and innocent peo pie are suffering and dying from want.

Catarrh is Real Enemy

Throw these makeshift remedies to

Do Not Neglect It.

When you use medicated sprays, atomizers and douches for your Ca- tarrh, you may succeed in unstopping the choked-up air passages for the time being, but this annoying eondi- ton returns, and you have to do the same thing over and over again.
 Catarrh has never yet been cured by these local applications. Have you ever experienced any real benefit from such treatment?

Splendid Memorial Services

River Falls was out enmasse to
pay fitting tribute to it's soldier dead
on Memorial Day. The weather was
ideal. People gathered from near
and far, autos and teams lining the
entire approach to the cemetery,
while the walks were crowded with
pedestrians enroute to attend the
ceremonies.
The parade, headed by the band
and followed in order by a platoon
Of fifty or more soldiers of the
World War, under command of
Lieut.. Johnson, two squads of
S. A. T. c. boys, then the Civil War
veterans in autos, he w. r. c..
ladies in autos, the Sons Of Veterans,
marching as an escort for the Colors,
and Lieutenant Erlandson's Boy
Scouts forming an escort for the
flower girls.
The exercises at the cemetery
were conducted in such an efficient
manner, that, while thorough and
impressive, they were timed so nice
ly that there was no wearying de-
lay to detract from full apprecia-
ton of every number.
The address by ATTY. W.T. Doar
of New Richmond will long be re.
membered for it's grand and stirring
message of patriotism, so eloquent
and forceful, made doubly impress
sive in the choice of plain, sincere
expression, not only audible, but
understandable to every person in
the large gathering.
The program was opened by a
selection by the band. Rev. j. o.
Thrush then led the assembly in
prayer, which was followed by an
excellent number by the Male
Quartet, consisting of Messrs. G.
Norseng, O. M. Hannah, Walter
Chapman and G. A. Bird. After
another selection by the band, Miss
Dorothy Scott read Lincoln's Gettys-
burg address. The Male Quartet
sang again, Mr.. Doar's address fol-
lowing. The program closed with a
benediction by Rev. G. A. Bird.
The flower girls then decorated the
soldiers graves.

Exterminate The DandeIlon

The beauty of the lawns in this
city is being sadly marred by the
abundance of dandelions, and pro-
perty owners who take pride in
keeping their lawns neat are becom-
ing alarmed over the spread of this
pestilent weed. Many cities have
recognized its offensiveness officially
by passing ordinances ordering it's
determination. While individual
lawns may be rid of it by crowding
it out with more grass, the task
is almost hopeless unless there is
persistent cooperation throughout
the entire neighborhood. The Min
neapolis Journal, in urging cam
paign against dandelions in that
city, says:
"The dandelion is common
enemy, and to defeat it common
movement must be carried on. No
property owner has any moral right
to let his lot grow weed seed for his
neighbours better kept lot. When
neighborhood movement is begun
for the eradication of the weed, there
should be hearty cooperation. Two
years of careful attention will
practically finish the fight, where
hundred years of individual fighting
would not insure clean lawns.

No Celebration Here the Fourth

1t has been about decided that,
with the paving of Main street un-
completed, it would not be wise to
attempt to stage a Fourth of July
celebration here.
There will, however, be celebra-
ton held to dedicate the opening of
the new pavement to traffic, and it
is considered wisest to concentrate
all plans on this event, to combine in
1T welcome to the returned SOL
diers, and grand homecoming fes-
tival for former residents, and to
have grand jubilee for all.
