YOUR obligations have not ceased with the cessa
tion of hostilities. Many a long, weary, lonesome
day must pass before our boys can be brought back
home. And they depend on you to keep up their
courage with letters but what they want most of all is,
Kodak pictures from home pictures that will keep the
home fires kindled.
What more fitting gift could be given than a
Kodak? Select one today from our large stock.
Mr. and Mr- J. H. Donegan receiv

front linos. As we romenibor tho ac-
ounts, the Seventh Englncors were
at one time thrown Into a break in
tho French Uno and though rather
poorly firmed, stopped tho onrush of
outnumbering Huns, This was among
first fighting In which tho Americans
were engaged, and the Soventh seems
to have figured in almost constant
action afterward. As a roault this
unit suffered severely In tho logs of
men.
The details of the wounding and

Ho was woundcdln October but this
fact became known tc- tho pnronts only

C. C. Hupfor a member of the decor
ative committeo of tho Welcome Home
organization, whoso decorative Ideas
are always good- suggests that a wel
come arch bo erected at the head of
Dowoy atreet. As outlined Mr. Ilup-
for would erect an arch that would
stand tho weather for at least a year,
or until all tho boys who aro in sor
vlco rench homo. One feature of this
arch woutd bo that on tho base and
column would nppear tho name of
every Lincoln county boy who enter
ed tho sorvlce- As a boy returned a
blue star would be placed in front of
his name, thus designating those re
turned as well as showing thoso still
In service. A gold star would bo plac

Mr. Hupfer's suggestion wo believe
