In sonic
America and the War,” was the
subject discussed by Dr. Kerr Boyce
Tupper at the school autditorium
Monday evening and his exposition
of this subject which is at present so
viltally interesting was indeed illumi
nating.
Dr. Tupper was introduced by Rev.
W. L. Wright who in well chosen
words paid him a beautiful tribute,
■eferring to his achievements as an
author, speaker and minister.
Before presenting the real meat of
his great message, Dr. Tupper served
his audience with a sort of appetizer,
a succession of well told anecdotes
flavored with humor which left
hearers, particularly the young folks,
in a more receptive mood for the more
serious things that followed.
The message ringing with American
patriotism was such as can originate
only in the heart and mind of a true
American. America’s tremendous re
sponsibility in the great war was
clearly pointed out, as was the need
for every individual to rally to the
support of this responsibility.
he close of the address Col.
Watts Powell was asked to state the
r.l purpose of the presence of Dr.
Tupper. The speaker receives no
mpensation for his service but takc3
a free will offering which is used to
supply reading matter to the soldiers
at the cantonments. Something over
$20.00 was donated for this purpose.
Several bright musical numbers ad
ded to the entertainment of the even
ing. The entire program was very
much enjoyed by those present.

Since the members of tl
Red Cross Branch have been
in making surgical dressings there has
been a' shortage of material which
has made it impossible for them to
accomplish what they otherwise would
However the work has bpen carried on
as effectively as possible in spite of
this hindrance with the result that
more than 300 gauze dressings were
shipped to the Bureau of Supplies last
week. Unless material can be ob
tained this part of the work will have
to be dispensed with for the present.
The preparation of muslin dressings
will be continued however, and work
along other lines will be taken up.

THREE BIG DAYS
AT CHAUTAUQUA
Patriotism, Information and In
spiration to Be Featured.
Tin* greatest hindrance to the mani
pulation of the affairs of our govern
ment at the present time is not the
luck of patriotism, but the lack of in-
fo|mntlon. Never before has the groat
American Chautauqua been of such
service to the people who have sup
ported It ns it lias been since the war
was forced upon us. It bus become one
of the roost powerful mediums where
by the government departments, upon
which »$&, burden of the winning of
the war must fall, may send out n per
sonal message to the rural districts ns
well ns to the great cities.
The Chautauqua program which has
been arranged for our town during the
three days as advertised has but one
object In view, and that Is to help win
the war. It comes with messages 'of
patriotism and with Instruction along
vital lines, nml is worthy of the sup
port of all our citizens. Not only will
noted speakers and representatives
from national Institutions be present,
but through the Inspirational music
nnd splendid entertainment numbers,
we will strive to “KEEP THE HOME
FIRES BURNING” while the boys are
“over there.” We must not forget
“the old home town," for It must bo
better when the boys come baek than
when they left It to tight for us.

seen b ythe assertion of one worker in

The government is watching the re
