night and tho manager pronounced
all of the corked up artists letter
perfect In his lines.
That the benefit for Red Cross so
ciety under the auspices of the lo

cess financially is proven, by the
fac1 that up to a late hour yester
day two hundred ticket3 had. been
spiv, aad the committee reported that
a groat many persons promised' to
buy tonight at the door, amd would,
have purchased from tl>e commit
tee were it not for the fact that they
were buying' libery bonds on the
installment plan and would have to
oawn seme artcile of jewelry this
morning for the price of a ticket
for himself and girl. That's the
spirit. One maj* said that he was
goiiu? to «cet up early this morning'
and go out and pan a few nuggest
from his mining claim up the valley
before breakfast in order to dig up
for t*>« show.
W. C. Blanchard, chairman of
the .Elks committee having' charge
of the entertainment received a<
canla from Fort Seward stating that

Tod«y arrangements were made

seats with those who would other
wise go in the afternoon and' take
their knitting and BUpper and
await the raising of the curtain.

This property, formerly the FifSt
Unch Sam
Has Turned
Warrior
For your protection he ha9
grappled with the made power
thst has transgressed the
rights of mankind and upset
the peace of the world.
He Wants to Borrow Your
Money and You Should
Lend It To Him
Your duty to your country
is as fixed as your obligation
to your family. This is literal
ly true, because if you do not
maintain the integrity of your
Government your wife is no
longer secure in your home
nor your children safe in their
school.
Mind you, Uncle Same does
not ask you to GIVE this mon
ey, here merely wants you to
lend it. Every penny you
can afford to advance is that
much saved for your own use
in the tranuil days when hu
manity shall have emerged
from this agony of blood
carnage. i
You may respond as frealy
as you will in the assurance
that your money will not be
used for the hateful and ghast
ly business of conquest.
It will be spent to sooth the
hurts of those who are maimed,
to feed those w>ho are hungry,
to clothe those who are not
clad, to shelter those who are
homeless, and to gird Liberty's
defending hosts for their migh
ty task of crushing the brutal,
blaspheming plunderer who
has so shamelessly violated th«
peace and honor of the world
and all but made it captive.
