A GOOD WAY TO HELP. \
Why I Became a Member of the Junior 1
Red Cross Society. ]
The reason I am a member of the 1
Junior Red Cross society is to be a
worker for the soldier boys, for they '
have not many clothes to wear. They
want us to knit sweaters, mufflers. <
socks, helmets and other useful
things they will need to wear over in
France,where it is so cold. We can 1
make pillowcases, pillows, sheets,
bandages and washcloths for the 1
wounded soldiers to use. I think we '
are all patriotic and want to see the 1
Germans whipped, and I think this
ia a ornnH wav fnr pvervnne to helD.

Death of Well Known Colored Man.

it the home of his mother early Sun
jav mornine and was buried that af:emoon.
The defeased was about 40
r'ears of age.
Electricity For
Five Cents a Day.
It is impossible, of course, to
say definitely just what DeleoDight
will cost to operate. This
will vary with t?e amount of current
used and some people use
more than others.
But we are able to state the
usual cost on the average farm.
This is about five cents a day,
and can be verified by asking any
Delco-Light user in this county.
Can you imagine anything else
that you could buy for five cents
a day that would give you any
thing like as much comfort or
help you half as much in your
work?
