In keeping with our schoolmaster-president's proclamation, Liberty Loan day was duly recognized in the school. Our much respected friend, Rev. M. Bigger, very fittingly addressed the students. National airs were played and sung and the flag pledge was given by the entire body. The most interesting part of the procedure, was the announcement that the school had shown its deep seated patriotism, not by mere words, but by deeds, by actually purchasing Liberty Loan bonds. When the Principal suggested that the school buy a Bond, the greatest enthusiasm was shown, for not only did all contribute liberally but wished to give more than was suggested. This exhibition of loyalty and patriotism on the part of our boys and girls is beautiful and it is to be hoped that this enthusiasm shown by them will influence others to do likewise outside of the school.
Some time during the night of Friday the smoke house of John Kirkland was entered and 100 pounds of hams were stolen. These hams belonged to Charles Ward of Pearl Street.

Frank D. Silvernail, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Silvernail was born in Binghamton, N.Y., eleven years ago. Frank was a model boy in his manners and knowing him one could not help but love and admire him. Although he was always cheerful and friendly. His ambition for church and Sunday School was always strong and he always went if at all possible. The funeral was held from his parents home on North Main street and his remains are in Green Lawn cemetery. He is gone, we miss him, but Heaven will be the richer. The parents desire to thank the boys who acted as pall bearers and all the neighbors for the flowers and their extreme kindness. Owen L. Buck pastor of the M.E. Church officiated.

In France they saved the nation. In England and Canada, they have shown such noble qualities as to win over the government to their cause. In Italy, their Red Cross work has been unsurpassed, while the now famous "Russian legion of Death" has held the whole world in awe and admiration. In this country, the women have been in the forefront of personal endeavor and sacrifice. Men have denied votes to women because they said that women are not called on to serve the State, and therefore not entitled to use the vote. This war was provided that women must serve the state equally with men. The government is calling on women to help in factories, in production and in conservation of food, to make munitions, and hardest of all, to give their sons to war. And they are doing it. Give them the vote.
