Entertained With
St. Patrick's Party
One of the most enjoyable af-
fairs of the season was a St. Pat-
rick's party given by Miss Rhoda
Cullom at her home on Monday
evening, honoring her brother,
Harry Cullom, who has just re-
turned from.overseas service. The
color scheme of white and green,
carrying out the St. Patrick's
idea, was used in decorating the
living room and dining room.
After all the guests had arriv-
ed, t\ie hostess expalined that the
party would be very informal and
that all titles of respect, such as
Mr.. Mrs., or Miss, would be en-
tirely out of order and anyone
addressing another person any
other way than as "Bill", "Sus-
an" or "James", or whatever hi
first name happened to be, must
pay a forfeit.' Most everyone
present forgot at some time dur-
ing the evening and much fun
was had selling the forfeits.
In the "Walk to Dublin" con-
test. Miss Rebelle Nunn was sue
cessful and was decorated for
her "bravery."
Every couple present was ask-
ed to write a letter composed en-
tirely of titles of songs. The re-
sults were very interesting as
well as amusing. Miss Marie
Calloway and Roger Halo were

five guests present. The out-of

Victory Fund Cam-
paign Closes Sunday
The Victory Fund Campaign of
the Presbyterian church will cul-
minate Sunday when a canvass
will lie made in Presbyterian
churches all over the United
States for the purpose of secur-
ing the money necessary to main-
tain the work in all departments
of the church. It is expected that
the offerings will reach the larg-
est figure of any fund that has
ever been raised by any church in
the United States for one year's
work. The money will not only
be used for the regular activities,
and more money for each Board,
but $500,000.00 will be used to
help rebuild the Protestant
churches of Europe and another
$500,000.00 to aid and assist our
disabled soldiers and sailors and
their families \\here necessary.
very Presbyterian is expected
to do his utmost to heln "Go over
the top" with this fund. Truly,
it is a great task, but it is for the
highest purposes and ideals for
which men can invest their mon-
ey.

Red Cross Makes
Call for Help
Again the call comes from the
lestitute people of Europe to
\merica for help. The people of
Italy. eSrbia, Roumania, Siberia,
Northern France and Palestine
re now freed from the Hun,
but are hungry and cold. The
Vmerican Red Cro$s has under-
taken the task of relieving some
if their suffrings by providing
lothing.
The call at this time is not for
money, but worn clothes, shoes,
tats, etc. Most people have sur-
plus clothing which they do not
need and which will probably not
be used. That is the kind of
clothing the Red Cross is asking
for the unfortunate people of
Europe.
March 24th to 31st has been
designated as the week in which
to collect this clothing. Mes-
quite branch and auxiliaries will
help in this campaign and every
one will be given a chance to
contribute to this worthy cause.
Every kind of garment for all
ages and both sexes, piece goods,
short lengths of cloth of substan-
tial quality (no thin material).
Shoes of every size, no matter
how badly worn. Also scrap
leather, sheets, pillow cases,
blankets, bed ticks, woolen goods
of all kinds, knitted garments,
oft caps or hats.
Thin dresses or material, derby
ir straw hats, collars, ties. toys.
People living in town will be
notified on what day a house to
house canvass v. ill lie made. \
>ox will be placed on the square
nd one at the school house for
the convenience o those wild are
not reached in other ways.
Remember the date—begining
next Monday and continuing'one
week.
Pelm, Germany, Jan. 20.
Dear Aunt and Uncle:
I will write you a few lines to-
night. This leaves me al o. k.
and I hope you are well.
I guess you all had a big time
Christmas. I did not have much
of a Christmas over here in
Dutch!ultd; I think I have just
about served my time here. I
hope J have anyway. When I
get back home I will have some
story to tell you. I have seen
England, France and a part of
Germany. I have seen more of
them than I wanted to see. I am
ready to conic home. I don't like
this country at all. There isn't
any place fke the U. S. A.
I guess you have heard about
the pretty French girls. I have
not roui\d them yet. There may
be some pretty French, but I
have not found them yet. Well,
I have seen some girls here that
looked pretty well, but 1 haven't
any use for them. They have
caused too much suffering, so 1
don't like the Dutch. The English
never did like them, so I guess
will iiot bring am of the for-
eign girls back home with me. 1
think I have a good girl at home.
I "know I think more of her than
I do any of thesee over here.
I don't know why I can't hear
from you. Maud said you had
written to me several times, but
I haven't gotten a letter from
you since I came over here. Have
you gotten my letters? I have
written you five or six. It seems
like a hard job to hear from any
one now. 1 havefl't heard from
home now in ov#r four weeks,
and I certainly would like to hear
from someone over there.
Well, I don't know of any-
thing else to write, so will close
With love,
Oleti.
