Brothers watch each other die

Brothers watch each other die
A pathetic account of two brothers
of Union county, former ex-service
men, lying in the same room in the
government hospital at Camp Sewer
watching each other die from tuber-
culosis contracted in France is told
in letter from Mrs. H. M. Barrow,
a welfare worker, to member of the
Woman's Auxiliary of the American
Legion. The boys are Theron and
Charlie McQuirt of Jackson township.
The former has already passed away.
Your most welcome letter enclosing
check for Charlie McGuirt and Wal
ter Cay" the account reads, reached
me here today. Both of these bows
are my special pets. The McGuirt
brothers have had my sympathy and
care. Their case was the saddest we
have had. The two brothers in the
same room watching each other die.
Both so brave. Both suffering, but
smiling. l took them something to eat
each week. Poor Theron had so little
appetite. He craved apple pie. The
last time I carried him some I found
he had gone to his reward. He was
a brave soldier.
Charlie was lonely and heart brok-
en-. Left alone waiting his time to
follow his brother.
II miss my work with the bows and
when / go back home 1 will be so
grateful for any finanial aid / love
to take them home cooking. They
enjoy it and crave it so. Often when
enter ward with my basket on
my arm they call out, what have YOU
for me, mother" Seldom do I have
enough to go around. So many dear
sick boys, and the people have for
gotten them and they know it. Just
little help, touch of love now and
then would make the days seem short
er and their sufferings easier to bear.
II thank you for giving me this
pleasure. am sending the check to
a friend of mine with the request
that she make it go as far as she
'an for just what the boys like."-

the drab weather on Saturday after
noon., The. annual ceremonies relative
to Founders Day made a full but
pleasant day for faculty, students and
visitors alike. Early in the after
noon the Sophomore class planted
their tree before Sussex Hall. Fol-
lowing this, the spade was presented
by Miss Grace Reed to the Freshman
class as a reminder to keep alive the
custom. Then the Freshman looked
pretty while they received the Glass
Colors from Miss Mildred Wolfenden,
President of the Junior class. The
members of each class were dressed
alike and presented a mighty pretty
spectacle to the group of relatives and
friends grouped on the campus.
At 2.3O the scene was shifted to

preferring it to come through natural
channels. Her address was greatly
appreciated and many of her practical

MASQUERADE BALL
A GREAT SUCCESS
Armory Scene of Last Big
Halloween Party on Sat
urday Night. Many At
tractive Costumes
Miss Towson Wins Silver Cup

The old Armory on Delaware Ave
nue. was the scene last Saturday even
ing of the big Halloween Masked
Ball to which the younger people of
this and nearby towns have had their
eyes fastened for long time, and it
was a tremendous success in every
way.
Perhaps 800 people danced to the
excellent music dispensed by the Sere-
naders, a local orchestra which is
fast gaining prominence in this sec
ton. The dance itself, by the way,
was given by the enterprising musi-
clans and reflects great credit upon
them. The spacious hall was beau
tifully decorated, black and orange
being the principal colors woven into
the display. The orchestra was
placed in the center of the floor and
was banked in with attractive ferns,
flowers and other decorations.
Many of the costumes were most
original and attractive. The silver
loving cup, given by the Serenaders
for the most beautiful costume was
won by Miss Alma Towson. The
prize for the most original get-up
went to Tom Armstrong, which car
ried with it $500 in cash. The most
comical costume on the floor, with a
5-pound box of candy as the prize,
was worn by Bud Stewart, of Provi-
dence, Md.

MINOR MUSINGS
BY Wilbur II. Sutton

In many ways the old-fashioned
woman who tried to talk with hair
pins in her mouth is preferable to
the newer one who tries to talk
with a cigarette in her mouth.
Don't get the dress reformcrs
wrong. It's not the way the girls
dress, but the way they don't
that alarms the busybodics.
A man is oftcner judged by his
linen than by his brains.
You never knew fat pcssimist.
In the spring any mans fancy
heavily turns to thoughts Of taxes.
No man in his senses ever mar
ricd a loud-mouthed woman, but d
good many men are out Of their
senses about the marrying period
Of life.
If your tongue can't convince a
child that he is wrong, be sure
your hand won't.
Nobody ever seems to have just
what he wants. The flappers are
cutting their hair off and the post
flappers wish they could cut
theirs on.

Man and Woman Travelling In Ford
Work In Abilene

A man and woman travelling In a
Ford car bearing an Ohio license
stopped in Abilene Monday after
noon long enough to reap small
harvest off of local merchant. The
woman was short change artist.
She went into Shellhaas Drug store,
made 20 cent purchase and then
gave the clerk a 500 bill to pay for
1t. After he had given her the
change, or part Of II she found she
had a IS bill and told him she want
ed the 500 bill back and would pay
for her purchase with the $5 bill.
When the cash was checked up at
night the Store was $40 short. The
clerk could not figure out how he had
been short changed. The same wO-
man failed in an attempt to work a
similar trick at Kuglers Hardware
store. She gave the $50 bill and
when $5 change in silver had been
counted into her hand by the clerk
she took that and IS bill from her
purse, pretending both were her own
money and wanted $40 bill for
them. The clerk reminded her that
the IS in silver was change he had
just given her and she apologized
and left. She is said to have worked
very rapidly.
Merchants in other towns are
warned to beware of the tall woman
in brown suit with $40 bill.
