Each day the fact that the United States is at war is brought more clear ly home to us. The appointment of registering officers for the universal military draft, the appointment of cen sus marshals and the news of the go ing away to various divisions of army service of boys whom we know person ally, all tend to make us always thoughtful .and remind us that we are returning to the experience of those before us in other days when war was requiring sacrifices which were great, yet given willingly.

Arriving at a newly cleared field midway between the. Edgar and Collins ranches, the prisoner found a large assemblage of patriotic friends and neighbors, practically the entire community being represented. Several huge piles of logs were Bet afire, kettles of coffee were soon steaming over an improvised 'camp stove, sandwiches and layer cakes were forthcoming from the Red Cross com missary, and the mess call was heartily responded to. John ' R. Edgar was appointed keeper of the sacred flame, his detail being to keep the logs roar ing ; Rory Colins was appointed chief coffee boiler with the rank of commis sary sergeant, and the ladies all lent a hand. A drizzling rain put an end to this unusual bivouac, ana all repaired to the Edgar home, where, in the large living room, an informal dance was held and a few vaudeville specialties introduced.
