be a 22-calibre, was said to have
come FROM a westerly direction,
somewhere along the ditch bank,
and after crashing through tn e
kitchen window while Mrs. Camp
bell was at work there it lodged
in The wall.
This is the second occurrence of
this kind. Some months ago bull

SELL FLOWERS
FOR WAR VETS

Many years ago, while the or
ganization of the United Spanish
war veterans was still in its IN
fancy Memorial flower was
chosen by these 'sBoys of '98". It
was just after the death of Pres
ident Mckinley, their wartime
president, so what could be more
fitting than to choose this great
mans favorite flower, the carna-
ton.
Years pass, and these boys be-
came gray-haired men, far past
the middle years of life. Scatter
ed throughout the great nation,
many of these veterans lay in gov
eminent hospitals, many with fam
lilies in need. 1t was about fifteen
years ago that they began to make
their paper carnations for sale.
They receive one cent for each
carnation made. The auxiliaries
began to sell these carnations for
the veterans. Every cent made is
used for relief for these veterans
and their families.
Because his mother had always
been the gniding star of McKinley's
life, the ladies of the auxiliary
chose the day before Mothers Day
for their annual carnation sale.
