RED CROSS IN TIME OF PEACE

STRIKING PAGEANT TO BE GIVHERE ON ARMISTICE DAY EVENING. The Fourth Red Cross Call drive will start on Armistice Day, Thursday, November 11. The TriKappas of this city have the Jasper county drive in charge and they will open with a remarkable pageant entitled, “The Red Cross In Time Of Peace.” This pageant was first given at Cincinnati, 0., at the convention recently held by the Lake Division. It made such a sensation that all chapters in the division have been urged to reproduce it. It most strikingly represents the work of this, “The. Greatest- Mother In The World” in peace time. The scenes show the ministration of this beneficient mother to all peoples everywhere, on the battlefield, in the navy, among the- poor of our large cities with the diseased in all parts of the world. The returned soldier is cared for, his family is assisted, the forlorn and sad are made happy. It is a wonderful story. Its proper reproduction will move people to act with a liberality so much deserved by this greatest “Mother.” • The Red Cross and those who are making the sacrifice to do this great work must have the hearty co-opera-tion of all. See this Great Pageant! Be ready with your Fourth Roll Calls fee or better go to the Red Cross and enroll and offer your services during this drive which starts on • Armistice Day. J. F. Nelson of Fnant, Mich., and J. F. Harmon of Vinton, lowa, are here to attend the funeral of their ■uncle, the late J. F. McCord, who died at the Jasper county hospital Friday, November 5.

the-wool Republican. Mr. Poole and Mr. Rainier made an agreement several weeks ago to burn their straw hats after election, the match to be applied by the one whose party was successful at the polls. It afforded considerable amusement to the spectators. Mr. Poole did his work well and as the Rooster straw hat was licked up by the flames the crowd cheered wildly. Mr. Poole’s hat was the last to succumb to the flames.
