YOUNG LADIES PATRIOTIC.
Cleveland. May 2—Two very proud
iml loyal young Ameerlcan women
Acre passengers on an outbound lo
al today. They were returning to
their homes at Medina, near here;
proud because they had seen their
sweethearts enlist; loyal because they
! had done their duty by Uncle Sam.
When war was declared, Charles P.
! Donahoe told his finance. Myra Aver
I ill. of his intention to enlist, and !
tasked her to postpone the wedding. At
| the same time. Donahoe’s chum. Paul
I Bowman, made up bis mind to fight
for Old Glory, and asked Xora Good
I if she was willing to wait until he was
free.
The young women not only consent
ed. but ^proudly accompanied their
sweet hearts to the United States Ma
rine'Corps recruiting station here,
where both boys enlisted and were im
mediately sent to the training station,
Port Royal. S. C.
That the parting of the four lovers
was not without its dramatic interest
is vouched for by the Marine sergeant
who was present, and who afterwards
remarked: “Far be it from me to dis
pute General Sherman; but some
I things about war are heavenly. That's
it— heavenly.”

PLAN NOW YOUR
SUMMER MOUNTAIN TOUR
Prom Middle and Eastern Nebraska you may go to Glacier National Park
either direct or via Denver and Central Wyoming, with 700 miles of mountain
panorama Denver to the Yellowstone. You can visit Rocky Mountain National
Estes Park; you can make an automobile tour of Yellowstone via the Cody
Scenic way. In Glacier you will find the climax of the rugged grandeur of the
Rockies.
If your destination is Yellowstone Park, you may go either direct in
through sleepers to the Cody-Scenic entrance, or via Denver, to the Codv en
trance, coming out via Gardiner.
Rocky Mountain National-Estes Park, just north of Denver, will attract
in 1917 the greatest Summer throng on record. Burlington tickets take you
via Lyons or via Loveland.
'
Due to the awakening by the East to the mountain grandeur of
the West, whether you choose one mountain locality or make
a sweeping circuit tour of the Rockies, you will have plenty of
company. Make your plans early. Ask for publication.
