A LARGE CROWD WAS OUT

Monday to See the War Exhibits Train. Notwithstanding the early hour of Its arrival—7:3o a. m.—there was a large number of people out Monday to see the wajr exlhlbits train, which was in charge of Dixon C. Williams of the war speakers bureau, Washington, D. C., and Mr. Williams quite a little talk along Billy Sunday lines. He was followed by one of the two French soldiers with the party L who was followed by Charles F. Horner of Chicago, who made a splendid talk in urging the buying of bonds to help win the c|use for which our boys are fighting. There were a half dozen or more U. S. soldiers and jailors with the party, soldiers who had seen service in France and been wounded or gassed on the battlefields, The exhibits consisted of a German airship, captured guns, etc., etc., and were quite interesting. The* train was here about two hours and the talk of the French soldier and of Mr. Horner no doubt helped the bond selling cause considerably.
