SERVICE FLAG IS DEDICATED AT NEW PARIS ' With Impressive Ceremonies, Flag Containing 43 Stars Is Raised. - NEW PARIS, O., April 24. The beautiful service flag for Jefferson township's 1 soldier boys was raised Sunday with lmpesslve ceremonies. The flag was donated to the township by the local unit of the Red Cross. There are 45 stars on the flag. The flag was raised on the public square and hangs from a specially prepared pole and bracket, which allows the flag to hang in straight lines and permits of the stars being easily counted. The emblem will be flown every day that the weather permits. "The Star Spangled Banner," was sung by a choir under the direction of Mrs. M. O. Penland and during this lime, W. E. Jones and six young ladles advanced with military precision, the girls bearing the new flag. They marked time until the close of the song, when Mr. Jones raised the flag to its place, while heads were bared and eyes were dimmed with tears. Mr. Jones was In the iniform of the United States regular army, which he wore twenty years ago wbile in the Fervice; the young ladles were Misses Mildred Jones, Mildred Auld, Mary Thompson, Opal Northrop, Helen Harris and Violet Collins. On account of the Inclement weather, the exercises were held in the Christian church. "Two Empires," sung to the tune of "America," was given by the choir, and Rev. D. S. Ewry, offered prayer. Superintendent of Schools C. R. Coblentz read the list of the names of our boys who are represented on the flag by a star. Following this a poem, written by Mrs. George F. Crites, and sung to the tune of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys." was sung. Rev. Rae Speaks. Superintendent Coblentz introduced Rev. J. J. Rae, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Richmond, who delivered a stirring patriotic address, the best of its kind ever heard here. He told those assembled "not to be deceived in regard to the German people, as they were heart and soul in this war." He gave as his reason, the German school system which makes of the people subservient subjects, 'while the American school system attempts to make good citizenship, and said this was the difference in the objectives of the two systems. Answering his own question as to why we fought in the time of the Revolution, he said it was because there was a Hun on the throne then a Hun who could speak no word of English, and also reminded' the people of the several Huns who had occupied that .throne. He defined a slacker as a sneak and said he should have this latter word written across his back. A burst of applause came from clapping hands when he closed with the poem: "Here's to the boys of the windswept North, As they meet on the fields of France,

May the spirit ' of Lincoln be with them all, As the boys of the North advance. Here's to the boys of the sun-kissed South, As they meet on the fields of France. May the spirit of Lee be with them all, As the boys of the South advance. Here's to the boys of the North and South, As they meet on the fields of France, May the spirit of God be with them all. As the boys of our flag advance. "America" was the closing song, and Rev. George F. Crites, president of the Red Cross, dismissed the assemblage. The honor flag for Jefferson township for "going over the top" in the Liberty loan campaign, was also on display on the public square and floats daily from the community flag pole, $27,000 having been subscribed here, being over $2,000 over the quota, and it is anticipated that the subscriptions will double the assigned quota before May 9. .

"They were nervous and restless huddled in the dugout, waiting for the gray dawn that was to send them over the top. I would wind the Grafonola, slip on the record pf the 'Humoresque and as the soft, sweet, haunting strains floated out, I'd watch the grim faces relax; and the tense mood pass. , "Again in a shattered Belgian village a group of American lads truck drivers going up to the front would be caught and held by a tornado of shellfire. There was nothing to keep them occupied; to leave the hut was certain death we'd play band music on the Columbia, lively selections that would take their minds off of the whine and screech of shells outside. "We had 1 20 Columbia Grafonolas in our 'farthest up' huts. Over 300 Grafonolas and 5,000 records were in use in the Canadian area alone. They were

These extracts from a letter from Captain H. A. Pearson, Senior Officer," Y. M. C. A., with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in France, paint vividly the part played by the Columbia Grafonola in the grim events "over there." Captain Pearson, who was invalided last June, after being severely wounded when his hut was destroyed by shellfire, writes, "Give your soldier tobacco; give him music" Send some records to your soldier boy There is a Columbia Grafonola in his Y.
