The Boy From Next Door
Y / O U used to see him swing gaiiy dow n the street, radiant with the vigor
* of his sturdy young manhood. O ne day he came home in khaki;
then his father told you, with mingled pride and foreboding, that he had
“ gone across" with his regiment.
Yesterday his name was on the casualty list— “ slightly wounded“
— and your face grew grave as you thought of the sorrow and suspense
of his father and mother.
From every city street, every village, every community, the boy
next door has gone to war.
Think of these thousands of splendid young Americans, reared in
comfort, peace, and security, now suddenly plunged into that
roaring inferno of battle with the hardened hordes of a desperately
determined foe.

What are you doing .to arm and protect them, and bring them
home in safety? Have you bought Liberty Bonds? Have you
bought all you possibly can?
Has it occurred to you that one more Bond, bought with a little
additional effort, may save the life of the boy from the next boor?

Caught
The my-tery surrounding the
poor house fi e was cleared up
Saturday morning when it was
discovered that the remains of
John Rhineberger were under the
building. H.s bones were found
under the wire mattress of the
bed on which Supt Gardner slept,
showing that Rheinberger had
crept from his upstairs room to
the ground floor, had gone out of
doors, perhaps with his clothing
afire, and had crept under the
building directly under the super
intendent’s room. His cane was
found a few feet away, and this
was with him when he retired.
It is now positively certain that
Rheinberger h a d ignited bed

when the flames became too hot
for him.
The remains of Rudolf (Adolph)
