Helping Crippled Soldiers. One thing the Red Cross department of civilian relief is doing these days is to see that every crippled soldier or sailor "gets back into the game" just as close to his original self as science can make him?that is the idea of the government. The government provides for the fitting, replacing and keeping in repair of every artificial limb or appliance required by its crippled fighters, and the R*?d ("puts is helping to see that all who .wed these things apply to Uncle Sam for them. The excellence of these artificial adjuncts to the human body I Wanted | at I I Dozert Fresh Eggs | I SKI? US THIS WKKK I 3 /Top Prices Paid 9 I FERGUSON CO. | MINI WJV AND COUNTY \ d?

J. E. Hicks, I). D., pastor of the First Baptist church, has just returned from . Washington with a well established opinion of government ownership of the wire service.

In the meantime I)r.' for < Hicks was speeding north Arriving sure at Washingtotn, he found that his friend, hearing nothing from hlna.i The had secured the services of another pror minister and had taken his bride on ancc their honeymoon. There was nothing ^ else to be done but to come home and ^ the minister took the first train. Ar-' t'?n riving in Virginia, he made represen- ?? tatlons to the-Western Union Tele- . graph company, asking for the return, L2U)l of his railway fare. He was told that nothing can be done and that it is even unlikely that the charges on the missent messsge can be canceled. L_? THE LANCASTER NEWS.
