that many of the districts, snd ths

"Whlls the report received from

then came the siBters ot our soldiers
'and a large number. of children, the
mothers and wive all carrying ser
vice flaga.
Following the parade there was a
short musical program at the court
house preceding the speaking. After

haps 1,500 or 2,000 people, Joined

and Chairman Williams introduced
U J. Simpson ot "Shore Acres."
"Louie" Simpson rang true to form
Saturday night he never disap
points his audtence.
Emphasizing the Importance ot
quickly raising the Fourth Liberty
loan to furnish our boys with plen
ty ot guns and ammunition to blaat
their way through the hordes of
murderous Huns, Mr. Simpson dwelt
upon the significant part being tak
en by the mothers and wives of our
boys at the front. It was "Moth
ers Day" and Mr. Simpson was lavish
in his praise ot those who sre fight
ing ths silent battle. A very notice
able feature ot hi speech waa that
when Major Hamilton finished hi
interesting talk and Mr. Simpson wa
introduced, a number , ot people
who perhapa thought they would be
compelled to listen to a long.tlreeome
discourse began to file away from
the crowd. -Then
the charm tell.
The slight commotion ceased and
those who were restless suddenly
found themselves squarely facing the
speaker and giving him their clos
est attention. The slightest noises
were hustved and had the crowd been
standing on & floor Instead of the
blue grass lawn of the court house,
the ring ot the proverbial pin could
have been heard as It tell. It la not
"Louie" Simpson's flowery speaking
that catches and grips your atten
tion, but the magnetlo force of his
delivery. -The emphasis placed upon
his well chosen words and the fact
that they come, straight from his
heart grip one like the story ot the
old mariner and you cannot choose
but listen.' , , vJ V
