PATRIOTIC ORDERS
PRESENT PROGRAM
ON ANNIVERSARY

One of the most interesting pro-
grams OF the season was given Sat
urday afternoon at Memorial hall
by the G. A R., the Woman's Re
ller corps, the Ladies of the G. A
r and the Sons and Daughters of
veterans, in celebrating Washing
toms and Lincoln's birthdays. Miss
Lillian Bedford, president of the
"oman's Relief corps, presided.
Mrs. Violet Strupp Reddig gave
a splendid original reading, which
referred to Washington and Lin
coin as champions of the cause of
liberty and how the memory of
these two great men assisted great
~ IN winning the present war.
Private Elmer Ransom, an over
seas man, told Interestingly of
his experiences in the front line
trenches at Chateau Thierry, Bel
leau woods, Scissors and Ffsmes.
AT Ffsmes he received three wounds
from shrapnel, and he was gassed
before being picked up. He spoke
very highly of the services render
ed by the doctors and nurses. Pri-
Vate Ransom also told of his exper-
fences with submarines and air
raids.
Mayor William McConochie gave
a splendid talk, telling of the time
in Washington's life when he was
unpopular with the people as they
considered him a traitor to the
English government. He told how
later the connecting link between
autOcracV and democracy was bro
ken, Washington was understood.
He described him a very wealthy
man, a man of few words, a states
man and a leader of men. He had
received every advantage - a boy.
Lincoln, however, was different
Mayor McConochie compared the
two great men very interestingly.
John X. Scott was also a speaker
of the afternoon. He told of Wash
ington's life as a student, a civil
engineer. and later as an officer in
the English army. He also compar-
