SUCCESSFUL BENEFIT

WAR MOTHERS’ BENEFIT WAS VERY LARGELY PATRONIZED.

The benefit given by the War Mothers’ of this county Saturday afternoon was a decided success. The gross proceeds amounted to about $85.00, while the amount netted will be about $50.00. This is a great organization and will undoubtedly take a most prominent place in the war activities. It function will be to look after the needs of our own boys who have gone to the war. The boys who know the value of mother’s love will fight with greater valor if they can be sure that mother is still loving and sacrificing for them. «
