Patriotic Demonstration and Lawn Fete Tonight in Honor of Company M.

A fine band concert will be given tonight, and an oration by Dr. Gobin, ex-president of DePauw University. Company M will give us a drill, and many other events will probably take place.* People from mil searound will bepresent tonight to honor the boys of Company M, many of whom are from the surrounding country and neighboring towns, and the town will probably be full of autos from adjoining counties. Ice cream and cake* will be sold, the proceeds mostly to go to the fund of Company M, to be used in buying needed supplies for the men

which the government does not furnish. A neat souvenir folder, containing the names of Jasper county boys who have entered different branches o: service, those already in France anc the names <?f the members of Company M, will be sold by girls. The price is but ten cents, and the proceeds will go to the Company M fund. Many people will be willing and anxious to do more than a “ten cent bit” and you may pay as much as you like for the programs with the assurance that the money will be used in a good cause. • •
