PATRIOTIC YEAR OF SERVICE FOR WAYNE COUNTY

County Gave Liberally of Men

and Money Last Year to Cause of Allies. La$t year was one of patriotic aery-

ice in Wayne county.

Thousands of dollars were contri

buted for the support of the boys

over there." There were between

raven and eight million dollars Into four Liberty Loans and Thrift stamp drives and campaigns for War Saving Stamps. v The schools bought a large number of War Saving and Thrift Stamps. The Red Cross was one of the greatest war agencies here. Many

nurses went abroad from Wayne coun

ty and many more nursing in camps here at home. Housewives helped in the Red Cross sewing rooms and the home service department gave aid to (he soldiers and their families.

The farmer has been a valuable

asset In Wayne county. Crops in the

county were excellent and the farmers were ably assisted by the agri

cultural agent and associations such

as Registered Men's associations. The Knights of Columbus of Richmond and the Y. M. C.'A. were active in war service. Earlham Contributed. Earlham college played a big part in the war. Perhaps the outstanding feature of the work done by Earlham Is the number of men It has Bent into Reconstruction directly from the college as well as the number of alumni that are active In reconstruction work. Vincent Nicholson of Earlham. formerly head of the reconstruction in

the United States, is now going to France to assist in the direction of the work there. Earlham men are going to all parts of Europe to take active part in the great reconstruction. The manufacturers of Wayne county were with a few exceptions, doing direct or indirect war work. All turned their efforts to a big production. Labor gave loyal services to help win the war. The conscription board of Richmond has been especially complimented for its successful work during the year. The efforts of the chairman, C. V. Carr, and the other members, the

legal advisor and the women who contributed their services at various times are deserving of unlimited

praise.

Wayne county sent over 2,000 men

into the service last year, many of whom are In France, Russia and Italy and many unfitted for army service served in Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.
