HOME SERVICE COMMITTEE.

At the meeting of the executive committee of the Red Cross chapter Wednesday evening, the following were appointed a committee to be known as the Home Service Committee: J. Budman Fleming/ Abraham Halleck, Charles G. Spitler and Delos Thompson. > It will ue the duty of this committee to see that the dependents of soldiers are so taken care of that he will be assured that while he is away serving in the war, his wife, children,* parents or other dependents are the object of the greatest concern and most tender care. It will be the duty of this committee to “Keep the Home Fires Burning.” The committee desires the co operation of all the citizens in the county, for it is anxious to serve when necessary any dependent of a soldier at war. This is not a matter of charity but a duty which we, who are not asked to give our services to our country on the firing Jine, owe to those who have gone to the colors. Special arrangement will be made for the branches of the Red Cross at Remington and Wheatfield to look after this important matter among their people.
