home. Some few heroes of the re-
bellion will remain; then they will
follow the aging army that freed
Cuba, and after it the dependent
multitude called to arms by the
world war. For quite another flf-
ity years the Waupaca home will
tenderly shelter the nations pa

Price appears in the grateful role
of solicitious patron of those who
may seek protection and compan-
ionship at Waupaca.
