der Auspices of Legion.

Relatives and friends of Valley
county's Gold Star men, and veterans.
of the world war were present at the
Odd Fellows hall Sunday afternoon
for the program in memory of this
county's soldiers who gave their lives
for their country during the war re-
Gently ended. The program was under
the auspices of Valley Post No. al
of the American Legion, and very ap-
propriately the meeting was on the
birthday anniversary of George Wash
ington.
Post Commander Jos. P. Sternhagen
opened the meeting with a short in
troductory address on the expression
of gratefulness of the French govern
ment through the memorials for the
next of kin of all deceased soldiers.
He was followed by Rev. F. E. Hen

win Markham's poem, "France in Bat
tie Flame" was very impressively re-
cited by Miss R. J. Dickinson, pastor
of the Congregational church.
Next came the address of Rev. J.
R. Jeffery, chaplain of the local post
of the American legion. He paid a
fine tribute to Lafayette and France
for their sympathy and assistance dur
ing our own revolutionary days and
followed up the history of both ma
tions up to the completion of the world
war. His address was interesting and
elected great deal of favorable COM
ment.
The solo, "The Americans Come"
which was rendered by Post Adjutant
Friedlund, was very we'll received.
Following this came the pageant scene
in which Columbia" represented by
Miss Marie Stratton, welcomed "La
France" represented by Mrs. Leo Hur-
ley. "LaF'rance" then presented the me-
mortal certificates of the French gov
ernment to columbia" The parts
of sailor and soldier were respectively
taken by Wilbur Crawford and Ben
H. Johnson. Miss Olive, Mckay as a
Red Cross nurse, read the honor roll
Of the soldiers from Valley county
who died while in the service of their
country. The pageant scene was clos
ed with the singing of the "Marseil-

led by Miss Stratton and Mrs. Hurley,
with Mrs. A. B. Friedlund at the pi-
ano.
The program closed by pronounce
ment of the benediction by Rev.
