FOR SINKING LUSITANIA.

O. c. Munson, an overseas veteran,
who was on the Tuscania when it was
sunk by a German submarines tor
pedo, has a unique souvenir OF the
war which he values highly. 1t IS
replica of the medals issued by Ger
many for the sinking of the Lusi-
tania and was taken from the body
of a German submarine sailor blown
up by depth bomb. The original
medal bearing the sailors name, was
found on his body when it arose to
the surface after an English sub
marine chaser had dropped depth
bomb where the submarine had heen
seen to go down. An English off
Ger whom Mr.. Munson met in Win
chester, England, took the medal
from the body and permitted Mr..
Munson to make a replica OF 1t by
making mould of both sides of the
medal and making medal from this,
with melted tallow candle.
The medal shows picture of a
big ocean liner going down and be-
meath this scene is the words "Great
Steamship Lusitania, sunk by Ger
man submarine May, 1915" On the
reverse side is the picture of three
figures, one representing death,
selling tickets for the ill-fated Lusi-

published in American newspapers

ASK EACH FARMER
FOR SACK OF WHEAT
WANT EVERY FARM TO GIVE
SACK OF WHEAT TO FEED
STARVING EUROPEANS.

Spokane-A campaign to secure a
sack of wheat from every wheat
grower in the state of Washington,
to be used for relief Of starving
European children will be started
Immediately by the Washington Far
mers' union, according to an an
nouncement made today by A. D.
Cross, secretary.
"The plan is to have each farmers
union local of the state name place
where the farmers are to bring their
sacks of wheat" said Secretary Cross
today. ~ think it will be an easy
matter working with flour millers
and big dealers of Seattle to ex-
change the wheat at the interior
point. his would give the European
relief workers several carloads Of
flour to be shipped across or sold
and the money used for relief pur-
poses.
Il believe this means of having the
farmers help will be taken up in
other wheat sections of the United
States and become big factor in the
immediate relief of the starving
children of Europe"
Mr. Cross stated that if each of
the members Of the farmers union
of Washington gives one sack Of
wheat it would mean approximately
$1,000 mushels of wheat. He declared
that most of the wheat growers are
embarrassed at this time
and unable to help with money, but
will be glad to give a small quantity
of wheat
The Washington Wheat Growers
association, with a membership Of
2500, will probably cooperate with
the farmers union in this campaign,
according to A. c. Adams, secretary
treasurer of the organization
