Knights of Columbus
WAR FUND
—umv
March 11th To March 16th
The Knights of Columbus have established and are establishing recrea
tion centers in the military camps in this country and France. These centers
are life-savers for the soldiers. They not only rest and restore them phys
ically, but they are a boon to them mentally. They are home to the home
sick and medicine to the worn out. The camps couldn’t get along without
I them. Creed is forgotten; religious lines are wiped out in this work. Protest
ants are as welcome as Catholics. No man is asked what he believes or
whether he believes. It’s just; “What do you need?”
Every Cordovan who gives to this fund is contributing to the comfort of
the soldiers.
Don’t wait to be asked to give. It is your duty to see that your dollars
get into the fund If you have given already, give again—give until it hurts.
You will never have an opportunity to put your dollars to a better use.

Taft, Ex-President Roosevelt, Secretary of War Baker, Secre
tary of the Navy Daniels, General Pershing, Commanding Offi
cers of Every Cantonment, ry tbe Press of the Country, by

1 FOR SOLDIERS’ WELFARE
I _
CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, March 14,
I —Relieving, the soldier from all cares
I and worries concerning his family and
I private aftaita at home makes him a
j better soldier. That is the theory
on which the Red Cross acted when
the organization established its home
service branch, and that is the the
ory which the organization follows in
its activities at Camp Lewis, where
W. R. Van Valen and Mrs. Van Valen
are looking after the work among the
: soldiers.
Mr. Y'anPValen wanted to enlist in
a railroad regiment which went to
France, and when he was rejected
because of his age he selected Red
Cross work as one way in which he
tjould do his part for the government
: in the war. He gave up his home in
Tacoma and with his wife and daugh
: ter came to camp to live in the Red
Cross building.
Mrs. \an \alen is a jolly, mother
ly woman who has won the hearts of
the soldiers. They call her mother
; and bring to her their socks to be
darned and their clothing to be mend
ed. She does it all with a wili. and
always lias a pleasant word for the
soldiers--“my boys," she calls them.
Whenever a soldier is in trouble,
j he usually goes to the Red Cross.
I His case is taken up with the Red
Cross division in which is the sol
; dier's home and then with the local
; | chapter in the soldier's town where
L the relief sought is provided.
In one instance the family of a
I soldier was having a hard time mak
ing a living in the mountain home
and sickness came. The soldier was
notified and the case was brought
| before the Red Cross. The California
Red Cross took up the matter and
the family was brought into town
where they were given the proper
! care.
In another case, a soldier in Idaho
! received word that his wife must
I undergo an operation Immediately,
j He was without funds. The Red Cross
, chapter In the town was notified, a
surgeon volunteered Ms services and
the Red Cross women of the town
took care of the wife.
A Michigan soldier received word of
his wlflTTconflnment and was unable
to provide the necessary care. The
Red Cross was notified and hospital
provision was made for her.

IRREPRESSIBLE BOY
DOESN’T MIND COLD
The Dawson small boy does not
allow the extreme cold of the Klon
dike winter to interfere with his in
clinations to have a little outdoor
fun, says the News of that city. Dur
ing the last month the marble bug
has struck the juveniles. It is the
earliest in the year, perhaps, that the
lads ever contracted the fever. Al
though it was stinging cold, the little
fellows did not let that interfere with
the great national game. All around
Dawson during the last few days,
when it touched 50 below zero, the
little fellows could be seen squaring
away on some hard-beaten piece of
snow, proving their prowess in the
sport. With bare hands they would
shoot, then - thrust the little paddies
into the pockets for a few moments
for the warming process, and soon
have them out again attending to the
important business of the moment.

DUTCH DIPLOMATS
ARE HARD-WORKED
THE HAGUE, March 14.—Many of
neutral Holland's diplomatic repre
sentatives abroad are hard-worked in
temporarily looking after the inter
ests of warring nations on both sides.
The record is so far held by P. H.
Hotz. Dutch consul general at Bey
ruth, Syria, who has In his care the
affairs of ten nations besides those of
his own, including those of the United
States.
The Dutch surgeons axe charged
w'ith periodical inspections of the
British prisoners of war in Germany.
WHO PAYSr
"Who pays for the war?" asked a little
boy
Whose brothers hnd marched away.
"Do the nations' heroes who go to the
front
With the glood of sacrifice pay?
"Do the men of wealtn who freely give
Of their riches pay 6Be price
As they pour their gold into coffers of
war—
Do they pay with their sacrifice?"
"Ah, no!” said the mother, whose eyes
were wet
As the thought of her boys would
come—
"The greatest price paid by anyone
is paid by those left at home.
" Tis not hard to die for country and
home.
And 'tis easy to pour out the gold,
But the mother who gives the life of
her life
| Gives a gift whose worth can't be
' told.
“Men give of their gold with a right
good will,
And the soldiers give of their best.
But the mothers of men who march
away
Give more than all the rest.
“A gift is measured by what is left,
And not alone by its worth,
And the empty places in mothers’
hearts
Are the emptiest places on earth.” I
“1 see,” said the child, and his misty
eyes
Gave sign that he understood.
“You gave my brothers, they gave
themselves
For the world’s great brotherhood.”
Men can die but once, and their gift is
complete.
But the mothers live on ana on
And daily renew their saorifiee
As they mourn for the boys who
have gone.

The Agent 1
House hunter—I thought you said
this house was a perfect gem.
Agent—Indeed, it is, ma’am.
“Why, the ceilings have no height
at all.”
“That’s so; they’ll be easy to keep
clean, ma’am."
“And the windows are dreadfully
small.”
“To keep the sun from fading the
carpets, ma'am.”
“And there is no bathroom.”
“That’s to cave soap, ma’am.”

Camouflage Everywhere
A lady selecting a hat at a milliner’s
asked cautiously:
“Is there anything about these
feathers that might bring me into
trouble with the bird protection so
ciety?”
“No, madam,” said the milliner.
“But did they not belong to some
bird?” persisted the lady.
"Well, madam,” returned the millin
er pleasantly, “these feathers are the
feathers of a howl, and the howl, you
know, madam, seein’ as ’ow fond ’e is
of mice, Is more of a cat than a bird.”

TO SAVE OUR FLAG
It's a meatless bone and wheatless
bread.
It's a heatless stove and a sheetless
bed;
It’s seatless pants and feetless hose.
It’s Hooverize where'er one goes;
It’s gloveless hands and hatless head.
It's go without to save the bread;
it's do your bit no matter what.
It’s win the war with shell and shirt:;
It's yours to win or yours to lose—
It’s up to you and yours to choose,
But buy of Uncle Sam a bond.
To help the boys across the pond;
Then go one more and come across.
With a fifty or the big Red Cross;
And be a sport while in the game.
And to the Y. M. give the same;
Then keep it up with a hearty grip.
And never allow a chance to slip;
That by some effort, deed or word.
You’ll help the lads who wield the
sword;
To lead the way for others brave.
To victory and our flag to save.
