DEDICATION 
 
 To the Soldiers and Sailors of Parke County: 
 
 N dedicating this book to the Soldiers and Sailors 
 of Parke County in the World War — a book de- 
 voted more to the doings of the people at home 
 than to the soldiers themselves — no apology 
 will be required t\y the men who put on the uni- 
 form of their country and followed her flag wherever it led 
 them. In all our wars the one all-prevailing and most sacred 
 sentiment in the heart of the American soldier or sailor has 
 been his home. From the Revolution with its "Girl I Left 
 Behind We," to the last great war with its "Keep the Home 
 Fires Burning," this sentiment is reflected in most of the 
 poetry and song that have had the fitness to survive. It was 
 not such songs as "Rally 'Round the Flag" and "Marching 
 Thro' Georgia" that Union soldiers sang most around their 
 campfires; it might have been "Do They Think of Me at 
 Home?" or "When This Cruel War is Over," and certainly, 
 "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again." Similarly 
 a Southern writer speaks not of "Dixie" or "The Bonnie Blue 
 Flag," but of "The Years Creep Slowly By, Lorena," and 
 "Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still;" while "Home, Sweet 
 Home" was the precious gem of both armies. 
 
 Thus, ever has the American soldier and sailor held 
 highest of all, the things pertaining to his home and what 
 the folks were saying and doing off in "God's Country." And 
 so, while those who "also served" may feel a certain degree 
 of unworthiness by reason of their exemption from the dan- 
 gers and vicissitudes of field, sea and camp, the soldier or 
 sailor of Parke County will be the last man to entertain 
 such a sentiment ; because they are his Home Folks ; and 
 because he is typical of the American Soldier and Sailor in 
 all great crises of our country. With his face to the foe 
 and his back to his Home, he stands unequaled in all the 
 5,000 years that men have practiced war.

 In retrospect, liowe\ei. 1 liml iiian.v reasons 
 foi' the inditt'erence and lack of s.vmpath.y for 
 the Allies in the liist wee|.;s of the war. In the 
 first place it was reearded as a war in l-^iiroiie.

 that tendenc.\" of human nature to I'eniemlier 
 OMMiities and forget fi iendshi|is. oui- fortjotten 
 RcvolntioiKiry di'lit of gratitude to France was 
 sulmierged liy the surviving hatred of England: 
 (iernian ]irop.-ie:ii|,i;i u.-is at work excusing or 
 
 dejiying altogether the atrocities in Belgium; lie- 
 
 sides, ninii.v of our \ pie were, fmni one cause 
 
 or another, in s>- m pa 1 1 1 ,\" with <Jerinan,\'. 
 
 It was not until midwinter of IIMI-I.'i that 
 one could notice any ditference in the general 
 feeling .-is to the war. A percejitilde change, 
 however, came when the citizens of I'arke ('ounty 
 \\el'e called uiioii to contliliute of their siilistance 
 
 to the siitrering | jile of Belgi This a]i]ieal 
 
 wiis made through Kohin Kros. & ( 'o., as the re- 
 lief was to l.e in the form of flour. Committees 
 wa're named and the wiirk of making up :i sub- 
 stantial donation jirogressed with commendalde 
 spirit and speed. Churches, Imlges, schools, and 
 v.'irioiis ci\ic organizations co-o|iei;ited and in a 
 short time lid.', sacks of flour, a very lilieral re- 
 sponse, w.'is on its w.-iv to Belgium. 
 
 In spite of this siilistantial recognition of 
 
 the inli an prosecution of the war in Bolgiufn ; 
 
 in sjiite of the fact th.-it must lia\i' lieeii ajipar- 
 elit to all that the Ceiitr.-il I'owers lir.iught on 
 the war, not niaii.N' of our peoph' were outs|ioken 
 in f.-nor of the .Vllies. Indeed, when the Lnsi- 
 taiiia w.-is torpeiloed with the loss of one hun- 
 dred American lives it seemed th.'it alioiit half 
 if the nieii who discllsseil it together were in 
 cliae.l to excuse it. The argument was ad\aiiced 
 th.-it .\iueiic.-ins "lunl no luisiness to go to Enriqie 
 on a ship loaded with w.-ir munitions;" that they 
 
 h.-id I II "w.-iriied" l.y (leiiii:iiiy to kee|, off the 
 
 laisit.iiiia ; and even that <;ernian,\' had the right 
 to sink .-1 iiassenger Imat without warning. And 
 this was ill face of the st;ind taken li.\- their 
 (ioveriimeiit that p.assenger ships and unarined 
 vessels should not In' sunk without the warning 
 .•iml saving of life jirescrilied li,\' Inti'rn.'itional 
 Ia\,-. 
 
 And so o)iiniiiii stood through the lirst two 
 yeais of the w.-ir, with iieili.-iiis a few humlreil of 
 onl- peojile won to the side of the Allies liy the 
 st.-iml t.'iken liy President Wilson on the Liisi- 
 tani;i inciilent. However, a \ast nia.iorit.\' were 
 grateful liecause we had Iieen aide to keep out of 
 the war, I'ro-AII.v and pro-German alike sirired 
 this feeling. Few, indeed, were in favor of the 
 
(i 
 
 I'MtKE coiyrv i\ Tin: would war 
 
 VuHni states making ccjiiimou cause with the 
 Allii's a]iil entering tlie war. 
 
 Then c-anie a swift ami sure change in senti- 
 ment. It instantl.v sprang up when Germany an- 
 iiouiu-e.l tlu' intention of I'esuming unrestricted 
 submarine ui)eratiniis. Tlje protests of tlie 
 President and tlie announcement of our purpose 
 to meet force w'ith force met with the unqualiiied 
 emlorsenient of at least three-fourtlis of our peo- 
 ple. But there was a sullen and for a time out- 
 spoken minority against war, and this feeling 
 persisted even after war was declareil. 
 
 And here I intend to tell a trutli — a very 
 gratifying truth — that is due the children of 
 those who were Southern sympathizers during 
 the Civil War, or were not wliole-heartedly in 
 favor of the administration of that war. I ilo 
 not know of one family in all E'arke (.'onnt.v 
 which had liorne tlie stignm of dislo.valt.v during 
 the T'nion war, ami for years thereafter, that 
 was in any way not in sympathy with the Gov- 
 ernment in the German war. Over all others, if 
 possible, these people were zealous and uncom- 
 promising in their support of everything directly 
 or indirectly connected with winning the war. 
 An incident will illustrate this fact. A war 
 meeting was to be held in the very neighbor- 
 hooil to which the Home Guards were called dur- 
 ing tlie Civil War. It was under the direction of 
 a descendant of those who were charged with tlie 
 outl>rcak at that time. This man had come to 
 RockviUe to get a speaker and make arrange- 
 ments for the meeting. He wanted Company 
 "E" to come, and when told that this might not 
 be possible, with great earnestness he urged: 
 "But, Captain, you must come! Some of the peo- 
 ple up there don't know we are in a war. We've 
 got to wake them up!" And so it may lie said 
 of this class of our citizenship that to whatever 
 extent the charge of dislo.valt.v made against 
 their fathers fifty years ago ami long after- 
 wards might have lieen true, not a Copperhead, 
 so far as I know, could be found among them 
 from the ilay war was declared on through to 
 the last. 
 
 I have ill mind one whose girlhood was em- 
 bittered liy the social ostracism inflicted on the 
 families of southern syinjiathizers. With all the 
 zeal of her singularly intense nature she was 
 devotedly patriotic. When it appeared that our 
 young men were not responding to the call as 
 their fathers did in '61 she said in an a<ldress to 
 the people of Parke County: 
 
 "People gaze at my streaming eyes at church 
 and at patriotic meetings and wonder that I can- 
 not control myself. I do not wish to control my- 
 stlf. My tears flow because I know that if as a 
 N^ition we are to be brought to the feet of God 
 it will be through sucli hours — such days — per- 
 ha]is such years, as the individual travels back 
 
 fiom his long waiulering 'in his own strength' 
 along the foolish paths of material success. I 
 know that it must come by way of broken hearts 
 and desolate hearthstones, of ruined ambitious 
 and thwarted iilans. It must come b,y giving up 
 lu.xuries and laying aside dreams; it must come 
 by the worthy suffering and the unworthy going 
 scot free; it must come by sacrifice, and when 
 we say sacrifice we use the word which is de- 
 scriptive of the concrete i<leal of salvation. 
 
 "What can we do to bring this thought close 
 to the hearts of the men — the .voung men — whom 
 we see loafing on our streets on Sunday morn- 
 ings, speeiling automobiles, smoking cigarettes, 
 shrugging their shoulders at all the beautiful and 
 solemn things that life and libert.y mean? 
 
 "One thing at least we can do. We can 
 speak the names of those, who in the midst of 
 tliis ajiathy Ijrought upon us by dishonest poli- 
 ties, by selfish and immoral society, by 'cliciuer.y' 
 social methods, by lack of true religion in our 
 homes, with such reverence as w-e bestow upon 
 great heroes. But we can never appreciate their 
 going, or the fact of their having somehow in 
 the midst of our ignoble time of stolid devotion 
 to personal lu.\ury and comfort saved for Amer- 
 ica some spark of chivalry until suffering has 
 iiiaile the war a reality to us and we are finally 
 awakened to the glorious privilege of service. 
 Meanwhile, let us jiublicly congratulate those 
 jiarents whose lio.vs wanted to go. Let us thank 
 them with free hearts for preserving in their 
 sons the precious spark of true manhood — and 
 again let us congratulate those parents whose 
 hoys can pass the physical examination. Let us 
 bestow upon them their just meed of pride in all 
 that the significant fact may mean. In deep 
 liumilit.v let us realize whose fault it is that 
 young men have not been led in the paths that 
 foster all that is great and noble in manhood. 
 * * * * .\nil in the midst of our humiliation in 
 our acknowledgment of failure let us .ioin in 
 reverent praise of those among us who have vol- 
 untarily given themselves for our protection. 
 Let us call their names on our brightest roll of 
 lionoi'. They are forever sealeil to us as heroes. 
 Let us try to feel it in a lieeper, truer measure. 
 
 "But if, we do not feel it now, God knows 
 we shall feel it hereafter. I cannot believe that 
 it is in His plan to let America go. Somehow He 
 will hiring us liaek to the old ideal of personal 
 honor that counts service to country the highest 
 privilege of man or woman." 
 
 Parke Count.v's patriotism quickly found ex- 
 pression after the declaration of war. The Board 
 of Commissioners dejiuted F. E. Calvert to su- 
 perintend the procuring and erecting a flag pole 
 in the court house yard. Ordinarily with such 
 a commission would have gone the exacting of 
 pay for the labor required and tlie County would

 They, as the gladiatois of old Ronn', said 
 "ilorituri salutamus" — we, aliout to dii', saluti' 
 you. They went not knowing when, if ever, they 
 would ndurn. Theirs was a sincere oft'ering of 
 themselves ujion the altar of Freedom. (!reat and 
 glorious was the serviee rendered, but dear h.as 
 been the cost. From our Honor Flag tlu^re gleam 
 thirty three gohl stars — once blue, now turned 
 to gold by the reiining fires of war that burned 
 upon this altar of democracy. 
 
 Often we become so engaged in our immed-

 the gratituile we feel toward them for the kind- 
 ness we daily receive at their liands. But never 
 sli.al! we forget tlie didit we owe our boys who 
 went out from us ni'\er to return, and always 
 will the fullness of our heaits inijiel us to do 
 tliem lujnor. 
 
 Fi-om time to time we lia\e tried to sliow 
 our ajijireciatiou of the great service of our »le- 
 jiarteil heroes when the sad news has reached us 
 that sonu> Paike County bo.v has made the su- 
 preme sacrifice. As neighbors and friends we 
 have spoken tlie kind word and have shed the 
 sympathetic tear. As a community, we have 
 gathereil ourselves together and have reverently 
 sung the jiraise and extolled the glor.v of liim we 
 call our hero. Space forliiils the mention of the 
 various memorial services liehl throughout tin' 
 county, ("hurches, schools, fraternal ortleis, soc- 
 ial groujis, towns, townsliijis, and the eounty it- 
 self — .all have res]ionded to the ilesire to give 
 iioHor to those to whom all honor is due.

 The boar.l was busy just before June 5th, 
 the day set for registration. As much care and 
 expense was used as a general election, and 1454 
 young men registered for military service. Con- 
 siderable organization was necessary. Howard 
 Maxwell was appoiuteil government appeal agent, 
 and the following were ai)poiuted on the aiipeal 
 board of ph.vsicians: Dr. Sherman Blake, of 
 Bellmore: Dr. Bradford Warren, of Marshall, and 
 Dr. F. G. Green, of Biooming.lale. 
 
 The figures on the work of the local board 
 in the first draft, are given as follows in the 
 tables of the Provost Marshal General's report on 
 the first draft: Total registrants, 1.4.54; gross 
 quota, 181; enlistments, (w; net quota, 116; 
 called for examination. 430; failed to ajipear, 2; 
 accepteil physically, :!70; rejected physicall.v, 60; 
 total claims for exemption and discharge, 240; 
 claims allowed, 151: claims disallowed, 89; certi- 
 fied to district boarils. 216. It will be seen that 
 this work kept the boaril busy for some time. The 
 first contingent of selecteil men, 46 in number, 
 was sent to Camp Taylor, September 5. and a 
 second. 24 in number, followed October 4. Later 
 contingents sent out b.v the local board were as 
 follows: February 2S, Camp T.iylor, 20 men; 
 April ;!. Fort Hamilton. X. Y., 12; April 27, Camp 
 Ta.vlor, .S9; May 1. Fort Thomas. Ky., 5; May 24, 
 Columbus Barracks, 25; May 25, Camp Ta.vlor, 
 45; June 25, Camp Sherman, 39; July 22, Camp 
 Taylor, 88; August ;U, Camp Sherman, 10; Sep- 
 tember 4, Camp Taylor. 32. Orders had been re- 
 ceived for the sending of a big number to Camp 
 Wadsworth, S. C, on October 24, but this was de- 
 layed, and the armistice being signed November 
 11, the.v never reported to camp. Besides this, 
 the Board sent many soldiers to camps who were 
 voluntarily inducted, most of these being for 
 some special service. Among these were four to 
 Fort Benjamin Harrison, May 5-17; nine to In- 
 dianapolis and one to A'ancouver Barracks, June 
 15; two to Cincinnati and three to Indianapolis, 
 August 15; seven to Camp Custer, Mich., August 
 26; three to Valparaiso, August 2S; three to 
 Camp Dodge, la., three to Indianapolis, and three 
 to Camp Purdue, West Lafa.vette, August 31 : and 
 
 five to Warsaw, Ind.. and four tc Rolling 
 Prairie. Ind., October 15. 
 
 With January. 1918. came a new feature of 
 the Board's work, with the questionnaire. This 
 divided registrants into five classes, as follows: 
 
 CLASS I— 
 
 la) Single man without dependent relatives. 
 
 (b) ifarried man, with or without children, 
 or father of motherless children, who has ha- 
 bituall.v failed to support his family. 
 
 (c) Married man ilependent on wife for sup- 
 port. 
 
 (d ) Marrieil man, with or without children, 
 or father of motherless children; man not use- 
 fully engaged, family supported bj- income in- 
 dependent of his labor. 
 
 (e) Unskilled farm laborer. 
 
 (fi Unskilled industrial laborer. 
 
 Registrant by or in respect of whom no de- 
 ferred classification is claimed or made. 
 
 Registrant who fails to submit questionnaire

 Of course the job of examining and classify- 
 ing so large a number was stupendous. Dr. 
 Peare, who was a member of the Board, was as- 
 sisted in the medical examination by Dr. T. J. 
 Ceilings, who in a short time entered miiitar.v 
 service himself, and Dr. A. E. Rhein, of Rose- 
 dale. The work of filling out questionnaires and 
 classifying the men was under wa.v V)y October 
 1. The bar association selected Clinton ilurph.v 
 as head of this work, and Mrs. T. H. Catliu, Mrs. 
 W. M. Hobsou and Mrs. A. H. Doole.v as his as- 
 sistants. They were making progress for which 
 the.v were commended bv all who oliserved their 
 work, when the signing of the armistice, Xovem- 
 ber 11, 191S, automaticall.v put an end to the 
 work and all activities of the Conscription Board. 
 As a matter of fact, outside a few men who were 
 .oluntarily inducteil, none of the men registereil 
 June 5 or September 12 were called into service. 
 
 The 2() men calleil to go to Camp Wadsworth, 
 8. C, on October 24, included three from the 
 .lune 5, 1917, registration, and the remainder from 
 the registration one .year later; but this con- 
 tingent's going was postponed on account of in- 
 fluenza, and the armistice being signed Novem- 
 ber 11. it never entered military service. 
 
 The work of the Board was not always agree- 
 able or pleasant. It had the task of determining 
 exemptions or deferred classifications from the 
 instructions received from Washington, and as 
 many applied for exemption or cleferred classi- 
 fication who re^'l.y were not entitled to it, the 
 task was a ver.v delicate one. Some people did 
 not evidentl.y understand the Board's position, 
 and according to one member, "seemed to think 
 exemption was a personal matter with us." Still, 
 the ma.iorit.v of people have said that the Board 
 did its dut.v conscientiously so far as it saw that 
 dutv.

MILITIA FROM THE CIVIL WAR 
 TO COMPANY "E" 
 
 I Assigned to the late Captain Clinton Murphy; 
 traust'orroil to ilauriee Murphy. J 
 
 jTI URIXG nearly every war comes a wave of 
 3tl military enthusiasm, anil so during the 
 Civil War a great many "home guard" organiza- 
 tions rose up. principally officered by men who 
 knew little more about things military than the 
 •buck" i)rivates of the organization. However, 
 the country and the ex-soldiers especially were 
 surfeited with war at the close, so it was many 
 years before interest was taken in military or- 
 ganizations in Rockville or any other place. A 
 few feeble efforts had previously been nuide to 
 form companies in Kockville, but the tirst 
 permanent company was the McCune Cadets, or- 
 giinized in ISSO. Clinton Murphy, who during 
 the war was in the ISth V. S. Infantry, and re- 
 ceived his military training from Captain Anson 
 Mills, now Brigadier-General, V. S. A., retired, 
 was captain of the organization, which insured 
 its thoroughness of drill and instruction. This 
 L'ompan.v continued for three .vears, using as an 
 armory the old woolen factory, which stood on 
 the jiresent site of the Rockville Roller Mills. 
 
 The records of the old McCuue Cadets have 
 been lost except the roster of the officers and 
 uon-commissioued officers, but the following 
 aaraes have been secured from memory of Cap- 
 tain Murphy, Captain Isaac R. Strouse, Oscar 
 McCord and others of the company: 
 
 Clinton Murphy, Captain.

 FIRST ROCKVILLE BATTERY. 
 
 Battery "F ' Indiana Legion, a one-gun sec- 
 tion, was mustered in by Adjutant General 
 Carnahan, assisted by David Strouse, at the coun- 
 ty recorder's office in March, 1SS3. A temporary 
 organization had been organized a month pre- 
 vious b.v Lieutenant Stevenson, George Boyd and 
 William Mason, but the true organization was 
 mustered in on March 12. 1SS3. The officers and 
 men at this time were Frank E. Stevenson, Lieu- 
 tenant: Will A. Mason, sergeant: Isaac R. 
 Strouse, caisson corporal: Thomas Lang, L. R. 
 Tieknor, Frank Johnson, Harry Johnson. Oscar 
 McCord, Harry Lee, Wallace Bo.vd, Horace Ken- 
 dall, Charlie Grimes. Wallace Brown, Ed Lam- 
 bert, Frank Bryant, Fred Stith, and Ed Bo.vd, 
 privates. A "six pounder" was promised by the 
 State, and it came in April, 1SS3 — a gun that 
 had seen service in both the Civil and the Mex- 
 ican war, and had been spiked so many times 
 that a vent had to be bored in the side. It was 
 a huge gun to handle, and though it was dis- 
 mounted easily, the attempt to mount it was en- 
 tirely a different proposition. "After a series of 
 struggles which promised, if continued, to pro- 
 duce no further results than detached vertebrae," 
 writes one member of the organization, "the as- 
 sistance of as many strong on-lookers as conld 
 get a hand-hold was enlisted, and the cumbersome 
 old veteran was finall.v resting again in its trun- 
 ion beds." A three-inch Rodman rifle, then the

 KOCKVILLE LltaiT ARTILLERY. 
 
 Evi'ii before the organization of the second 
 MrCuiie Ca.lets, the famous Rockville Light Ar- 
 tilleiy liad been organized. The former battery 
 had won several pirizes — tliey entered a )irize 
 drill at Indianapcdis in ISS.'i, winning a black rib- 
 bon. The drill was considered fair for inexper- 
 ienced men, but the lilack rildion was the lowest 
 ]oi/,e i'\ cf gi\eii the l^atter^" in its entire I'xist- 
 eiice. Tlu'y entered another ilrill .-it Lafayette 
 in Issii, an.l one at .lacksonville. III., the same 
 year, winning second jdace, or the red ribbon in 
 both .'ontests. Then the old battery disband-'d, 
 ••but the milit;ny sjiirit wiuild not down," and 
 Batter.N- "H," or the Kockville Light Artillery. 
 w:is organized the same year, issii. This was 
 the battery that was to make history for Rock- 
 ville. Prank E. Stevenson, lieutenant and com- 
 mander of the previous orgauization, was com- 
 missioned caiitain of Battery "D;" William A. 
 M.-ison, first lieutenant, and C. E. Lambert, sec- 
 ond lieutenant. Shortly afterward. Lieutenant 
 Mason resigned, Lieutenant Lambert became first 
 lieutenant and Brooks T .Hadley, second lieu- 
 tenant. 
 
 ■■From ISS'i the record of the artilery was a 
 succession of victories," writes Captain Isaac R. 
 St rouse. "Supported only by the imlividnal ef- 
 forts of its members and the pittance allotted by 
 the State, the Battery entered contest after con- 
 test, always ailding fresh laurels," The tirst na- 
 tional drill entered by the Battery was at Evans- 
 ville on September i!2, 1887. Several noted bat- 
 teries were competing for the $.^00 prize, and the 
 Rockville Light Artillery was under the handi- 
 ca|i of having a gunner disabled early in the 
 drill, and facing the necessity of substituting 
 the caisson corjioral. Nevertheless, they went 
 through the drill with scarcely an error, and 
 won lirst prize. In adilition they were detailed 
 to lire a salute in honor of Governor S. B. Buck- 
 ner. of Kentucky, who was visiting the camp. 
 Captain Strouse writes of the return, ''It was 
 a triumidiant one, and Rockville for the first 
 time full.v realized the true standing of the eom- 
 liany. A big reception was tendered the bo.vs 
 at the opera house, the.v were banqueted at the 
 Parke hotel, and shown every honor. Of this 
 ilrill. Captain Heywood, of the United States 
 army, wrote Captain Stevenson, ''The drilling of 
 your detachment was excellent, and I have never 
 seen better," The team which won this victory 
 was composed of Captain Stevenson: Lieutenant 
 C. E. Lambert; gunner, John Marshall; caisson 
 corporal, Levi Fryberger: cannoneers, Charles 
 Bracken, Elmer Smith, 'Will J. Kendall, Theron 
 McCampbell, Harry Ficken, "ff. J. Gaebler ami 
 T. D. Byers. The battery, by request, assisted

 Competing against Eve of tie best batteries 
 in the eountrv. the Koctrille Light ArtillerT won 
 the veUow riblnin. or ihird plaee. at XashTille. 
 Tenn., in ISi^S. According to eontemporary ae- 
 coants. the local batterj- had to manearer in a 
 sticky mud with which the other batteries did 
 not have to contend, but at that their sieore was 
 a very close third. This trip was a great plea- 
 sure to all The boys who went. Besides receiv- 
 ing a great many favors from the charming 
 SoBifcern girls, they visiie-i the interesting 
 jilaees of Xashville, Oieneral Jackson's old home. 
 -The Hermiiage." and the tomb of President 
 James K. Polk, -in the door yard of his old 
 mansion, his age<i widow, sinee p3sse«l into the 
 unknown, showing the t-oys every courtesy and 
 St parting, pinning with her trembling hands a 
 rose on each blue blouse." 
 
 The tettery compete'l in a prize drill at 
 Vincennes in ISSO. winning first prize, and see- 
 ond in a drill at Indianap'Olis the next year. In 
 this last, they comi^eted wiih the Indianapolis 
 Light Artillery, an^i batteries from Dallas, Tex., 
 Danville, HL and gt. Louis. The battery elaimed 
 questionable proce-tures in the awarding of the 
 rr'zes, and many thotight the B, L, A. was en- 
 titled to the blue riblK>n. After -throwing" a

 disnatsjiis retteries at St. LliuIs in 1SS*5. and 
 with a drill team compos>?>J larsrely of new men, 
 they won second prize. 
 
 The battery's last and greatest triumT'h was 
 the Fort Wayne contest in 1SS*5. before three 
 Begniar Army judges^ In this contest, it not 
 only won the blue ribbon, but broke the world's 
 record is the standing gun drill with a store of 
 ?>.7 oat of a possible 1<>J. This reieord to this day 
 remains uneouallevi. and The Bockville Light Ar- 
 tillery in this department the champion battery 
 of the Unitevi States^ Toward the end of its 
 c^areer. it was changssi from Batterj — P~ to Bat- 
 tery -C.~ and was finally mustered out in 1S5*5- 
 The oTganiation was almost self-supporting, and 
 ssHene-i from two fires on the East side, which 
 bsme"i out its armory and much eqaipment each 
 time. However, the men were enersetie. asd 
 gave a great many benefit entertainments. 
 -These am-osements, as a rule, were li'perally ps- 
 rrosized." secor^iing to The Bockville Tribune in 
 l^S^ -and have given such satisfaction that 
 anything sivertise>i ander the auspices of the 
 bstrery was resarde>i is advance as a success." 
 The same rssr-er says tie battery numbe?e.i 49 
 memc-er* at tie time, with oSeers and non-eom.- 
 missione^i o^eers as follow-s: Cat'tsizu Frank F. 
 Sirevenson: fir^ lieutenant, C. A. Brscken: see- 
 OEd iii^utenant, C, C Connelly; first sersisant. E. 
 
 L. Batman; veterinary sergeant. Dr. G. W. Buek- 
 ner: sergeants. J. Wal Boyd, J. V. D. Coleman, 
 Harry Fisher. Jacob S. White: corporals, Levi 
 Fryberger. H. O. Allen. James B. Thompson. 
 
 An unsuccessfnl effort was made to organize 
 a battery in Bockville for service in the Stianish- 
 American war. but several of the members of the 
 old Light Artiliery saw service in other or- 
 ganizations, notably Leslie Bulion. who was in 
 the -thiek of it" in the Philippines, and served for 
 several years afterward in the rt^alar artillery, 
 and during the World war was an efficient first 
 lieutenant of Company -E.~ Also Harry Fisher, 
 who became a first sergeant in the Begular In- 
 fantry. 
 
 REORG.VNIZED BATTEKY -C," 
 
 Battery -C~ was re-organized in April. 1907. 
 and a large number of oar young men went into 
 its rants. It started with old Hotchkiss guns, 
 but got new equipment in 1909, 
 
 Up to 1910 its history is not noteworthy, as 
 it dii nothing to attraet more than loeal recogni- 
 tion eseept attending target practice at Michigan 
 City in 190>, and even then it did not get a 
 chance to fire. In the summer of 1910. the bat- 
 tery went on its first trip to Sparta. Wis_ and 
 its member? acquitted themselves with credit, 
 although divided up between Batteries -A"^ and 
 "B.^ Captain Biee was placed in command of 
 Battery -B" and showe-1 his capabilities as a 
 commanding ofiicer. The Sparta trip of 1911 
 was the first and only chance the local battery 
 had to show what they could do as an organiza- 
 tion, and from their score, one might almost tte- 
 lieve that the old Bockville Light Artillery 
 was in service again. The result was that Bat- 
 teries -A" and -B" were both beaten by good 
 margins, and Battery -C~ was recognized as the 
 champion tottery of the State, In 1912 it did 
 not attend an encampment, but went on a ten- 
 day hike, visiting most of the towns of the coun- 
 ty. The men showe»i excellent endurance on this 
 hike, showing that not only their marksmanship. 
 but also their endurance would make them valu- 
 able in actual service. The 1913 trip was taken 
 to Fort Biley. Kas_ where the local battery was 
 again •iivide.i between the two other batteries 
 af the State, and CaX'Sain I_ D. Williams was 
 place-d in chaTge of Battery -B." A fine time 
 was reporte»i by the men. but they did not get 
 3 chance to show what the tottery, as such, was 
 capable of doing. The ofiicers attended a militia 
 oScers" training school at Tobyianna, Pa_ the 
 same year. Tobyhanaa or Fort Biley was to be 
 the encampment place for 1914, but the battery 
 was mustere-i out that year, and the eouipmeEt 
 transferred to a newiy organized r«attery at Laf- 
 ayette. 
 
 Battery -C~ had a crack pistol team, which

 from its only rival, Batter.v "B" of Ft. Waj'ne. 
 
 Tlie famous erail( shots of the latter or-

 were a 15-yard rapiil fire shoot, 25-yard time

 tained l>y 11. M. Rice, and 1912-14 by L. P. Wil- 
 liams. Alwa.vs the.v had the advice and guidance 
 of Prank E. Stevenson, captain of the old Rock- 
 ville Light .\rtiller.v, then nia.jor in command of 
 the entire artiller.v section of the Imliana Na- 
 tional (tu.-u-.I with .Jacob B. White as his ad.pi- 
 taut. Captains Hice and Williams were commis- 
 sioned during the war as m;i.iiM' ;ind lieutenant- 
 colonel, re.spectively, of the Second Indiana Field 
 .•\rtillery, but this organization never was called 
 into active service. For sev(>ral .vears Fniuk 
 E. Strouse w:is Engini'er Ollicer with the rank 
 of nia.ior on the staff of (leneral McKee. 
 
 During the Mexican excitement in the svim- 
 nier of 1914. plans were maile to recruit a bat 
 tery in ease war was declareil on Mexico, but 
 otherwise no military activity was manifest in 
 Rockville until the Pnited States entered the 
 World war in 1917, and then, with a revival of 
 military spirit, came the Parke County ^lilitary 
 Training Association later mergoil into the In- 
 diana National Guaril as Comp:iny "E," First In- 
 diana Infantry. 
 
 WORLD WAU MILITAUY 0RGAMZ.\T10NS. 
 
 .\s mentioned elsewhere an organization call- 
 ed the Parke County Military Training associa- 
 tion was perfecteil soon after the declaration of 
 war. It continued to have regular drills until 
 December 10, 1917, when, having been recruited 
 to the required strength, it was mustered into 
 the State Service by Col. Charles Garrard. A 
 large number of the most efficient and faithful 
 men conld not get into the reorganized company, 
 as nobody over the age of 45 could be mustered 
 unless he had had previous military training. The 
 progress of this training company had been such 
 
 that it was inclmled among the few companies 
 selccte.l from nearly 100 in the State to be taken 
 in at a time when only three battalions could 
 lie armed and equipped. Later it became Co. "E," 
 1st Infantry Regiment. 
 
 Isaac R. Strouse was authorized as com- 
 manrling officer to recruit the company to the re- 
 quirements of the active State service, and to 
 aiijioint all officers and non-commissioned of- 
 licers. He ileclined to ajipoint the commissioned 
 officers and at the first meeting of the coinpan.v 
 Leslie Bulion was elected first lieutenant and 
 Brooks T. CoUings, second lieutenant. The lat- 
 ter served sevei'al months and then resigned to 
 enter the National service but the war ended be- 
 fore he was called. First Sergeant Sandford in 
 line of promotion succeeiled to the vacant lieu- 
 tenancy. 
 
 In May, 1918, uniforms were issucil and a 
 stand of old model Springfield rifles were receiv- 
 ed. Later the compan.v was completely armed 
 with excellent modern rifles, a part of the 
 equipment manufactured for the Russian govern- 
 ment before its collapse. 
 
 Compan.v "E"' went to Attica to take part in 
 the celebration of Bastile da.v July 14, 1918, and 
 was greatl,y praised for its appearance and drill. 
 It participateii in battalion drills at Rockville, 
 Terre Haute and Covington. Burial detachments 
 were sent to various parts of the county at the 
 request of all who desired military honors for 
 their sons who had dieil in the service of their 
 countr.v. The company turned out for all pa- 
 triotic meetings when its presence was requested, 
 and was called once into active service. 
 
 On the morning of A)iril :iO. 1919. the com- 
 manding officer was ordered to hold his men in 
 readiness for instant service. He was in Terre 
 Haute, but called Lieutenant Bulion by telephone, 
 orilering that the compan.v be at once mobilized. 
 When the captain arrived from Terre Haute by 
 autonuibile, ever.v man who hail received the or- 
 der but one, was in the armor.v, and it developed 
 that this man did not understand the order which 
 had not been commnnicateil to him directl.v. Sixt.v 
 men were in waiting more than an hour at the rail- 
 road station before the arrival of the special train 
 to take them to Linton. They arrive<l at Terre 
 Haute, a half hour later, where coffee, sand- 
 wiches and cake were served by the women of 
 the Red Cross, and two hours later were in Lin- 
 ton. At the same time two more companies — 
 from Evansville and Bloomiugton — arrived, and 
 there was no more rioting. At five o'clock the 
 next da.v the troops departed. 
 
 It is probable that Compan.v "E" is the only 
 organization called for riot dut.v that responded 
 100 per cent. Six men were absent from home 
 the da.v the company left, but reported to Cor-

THE PARKE COUNTY COUNCIL 
 OF DEFENSE 
 
 JOHN S. MTADDIX 
 
 ® 
 
 I HE preparr.tioii for war in the Uniteil 
 li States, the changing of our eouutry over 
 night from a peace to a war basis, oalleil in- 
 to existence many new organizations. These in- 
 cluded Governmental, Military, Civil and Ad- 
 visory Committees and Boards, 
 
 The Council of Defense system was inaug- 
 urated l\v Act of Congress, August 29th, 191li, 
 for "the coordination of the industries and re- 
 sources for the national security and welfare." 
 It was not fully organized until March o, 1917. 
 After the entrance of the United States in the 
 war. the Council of National Defense together 
 with its advisory commission and supplemen- 
 tary organizations were active iu assisting the 
 Government to mobilize the country's resources 
 for the conduct of the war. 
 
 The Council of National Defense consisted 
 of the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the 
 Xavy, the Secretar.v of the Interior, the Secre- 
 tary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Commerce 
 and the Secretary of Lsibor. An Advisory Com- 
 mission was also provided, consisting of seven 
 persons, each of whom had some special knowl- 
 edge of some public activity, or the development 
 of some national resource, or was otherwise 
 specially qualified for service on the commission. 
 
 On April 9, 1917, the Secretary of War, as 
 Chairman of the Council of National Defense, 
 issued to the Governor of every State a request 
 that if he had not alread.v done so, he create 
 a State Council of Defense or simOar body, to 
 promote and co-ordinate the war activities of 
 the State, and to co-operate with the Fei'.eral 
 Government and the Council of National De- 
 fense in the prosecution of the war. As a result 
 every State in the Vnion created a State Coun- 
 cil of Defense or a Committee of Public Safety 
 as it was called in some cases. These bodies were 
 organized as the official emergency war organiza- 
 tion of the State. In some States they were cre- 
 ated by Act of Legislature, whUe in others they 
 were established by proclamation of the Gov- 
 ernor. Owing to the difference in the legislative 
 statutes the powers of the several Councils var- 
 ied in the several States, depending largely upon 
 
 the terms of the act, or upon the war powers of 
 ihe Governor. In this State the State Council 
 and County Councils were created by proclama- 
 tion of the Governor. 
 
 The State CouncUs of Defense exercised a 
 four-fold function, namel.v: To create and di- 
 rect County and Community CouncUs of Defense; 
 to centralize and co-ordinate the war work of 
 the State; to inaugurate independent activities 
 for State Defense work, and to assist the Coun- 
 cil of National Defense and the Federal Depart- 
 ments and War Ailministration in their war pro- 
 grams. The first Chairman of the Indiana Coun- 
 cil was the Hon. William H. Hays, who had 
 charge of its first organization, and who later 
 resigned and was succeeded by the Hon. M. E. 
 Foley, who served until the State Council ceased 
 its activities. 
 
 One of the first tasks of the State Councils 
 of Defense was the organization of County Coun- 
 cils of Defense as machinery to effectively carry 
 out their war programs. The County Councils 
 were completely organized in nearly every State 
 in the Union. They exercised general functions 
 similar to those of the State Council of Defense. 
 They were under the direct supervision of the 
 State Councils, and were responsible to them for 
 carrying out the work imposed upon them. In- 
 diana was completely organized, and the State 
 and County Councils were active organizations 
 throughout the war. 
 
 The County Councils of Defense stood in 
 their relation to the State Council of Defense as 
 the State Council stood to the National or- 
 ganization. 
 
 Secretary Baker wrote President Wilson call- 
 ing his attention to the work of the Councils of 
 Defense and suggested that all Federal depart- 
 ments, administrations and commissions use the 
 Council system when planning new work or ex- 
 tension of their organizations in the State. The 
 President approved the suggestion and requested 
 that it be communicated to the heads of the de- 
 partments. In this way the Council of Defense 
 throughout the United States became the body 
 between the people and all departments of gov-

 I'AUKE COiyjY IX THE MOULD WAR 
 
 eniment, liotli civil and military, and this or- 
 ganization of State and Conuty Councils, without 
 authority of enacted law, became one of the most 
 busy of all the organizations brought into exist- 
 ence by the war. 
 
 The aiiimintments of all local heads of de- 
 partments engaged in war work were maile on 
 its recommenilation to the department or body 
 in charge. 
 
 Among the many questions and iluties com- 
 ing before the Council were those concerning: 
 
 Patriotic Education of tlie people and chil- 
 dren in the English language. 
 
 The HaniUing of Alien pro])ert.v. 
 
 United States emplo.vment service. 
 
 Bo.vs" Working Eeserve. 
 
 Maintenance of Speakers' Bureaus, including 
 Four-Minute Men's Bureau. 
 Memorial Plans. 
 
 Liberty Loan drives and X'ictory Loan drives. 
 
 Aiding sale of War Savings Stamps. 
 
 Patriotic Celebration of Holidays. 
 
 Public Addresses on Patriotic Subjects in 
 County Foo<l Administration. 
 
 Fuel Ailministration and Food Clubs. 
 
 Women's Organizations. 
 
 Aid and Advice to Disabled Soldiers and 
 Sailors, wives and widows, on securing allotments, 
 etc. 
 
 Furnishing aid in answering Questionaires, 
 and in building up our army. 
 
 Assistance in all drives for charitable and 
 war purposes, such as Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., 
 K. of C. anil War Chest, and to restrain undesir- 
 able calls for money. 
 
 Aid and advice regariling War Risk Insur- 
 ance. 
 
 Civil Relief Act for soldiers and sailors, and 
 in securing employment for discharged soldiers. 
 
 To stamp out sedition wherever encountered. 
 
 To nuiintain a general legal bureau for the 
 benefit of soldiers, sailors and families. 
 
 To regulate the use of material and lalior in 
 the non-war essentials. In non-war construction. 
 
 To, in a general wa.v, render all assistance 
 it could in increasing ])roduction, economy of re- 
 sources, building up the army and navy, and 
 bettering the morale and patriotic support of our 
 soldier bo.vs by the people at home. 
 
 It undertook the performance of these du- 
 ties, so far as they could be undertaken in Parke 
 County. 
 
 It's final work in Parke Count.v consisted in 
 acting as the General Committee in charge of ar- 
 rangements for "Home Coming Day." and as the 
 General Committee in charge of the publication 
 of this Parke County History of the War. 
 
 The following tribute to the Council of De- 
 fense s.vstem was written after the close of the 
 war. by the Hon. Grosvenor B. Clarksou, who was 
 
 closely connected with and understood its duties 
 and services: 
 
 "Here at home there have been armies too. 
 And they have performed a marvelous task. 
 They were created without mandates; they were 
 welde.l into cohesive form by suggestion rather 
 than by order; they were galvanized from be- 
 ginning to end by the mighty force of voluntary 
 co-ojieration ; and they went into the home 
 stretch with a i)Ower which nothing could have 
 stopped. These were the armies of production — 
 production not alone of guns and steel plates 
 ami soldiers' shoes, not alone even of visible 
 things, but production of energy, of thought 
 that made the sworil a flaming thing, of optimism, 
 to offset the stupid pessimism of people who 
 criticised but had nothing tangible to contribute, 
 of the immortal spirit of 'carry on,' of above all, 
 unification. For it has only been within the past 
 ,vear that this nation has completely realized 
 that after all it is, properly introduced to it- 
 self, but a i)artnershii) of one hundred million 
 jiersons. Out of this has grown one of the great 
 lessons of the war to America; the interdepend- 
 ency of social effort, the effort which in the last 
 equation must keep a nation wholesome in peace 
 and which must furnish the continuing, tireless 
 force lieliind the cutting edge in time of war." 
 
 "This, then, though it is stated loosely, was 
 our task here at home." 
 
 "In the vast work of unification, in the carry- 
 ing from Washington to the people the messages 
 and measures of the National Government, and 
 in the transmission back to Washington of the 
 moods and aspirations of a people at war, the 
 Council of Defense system, with its more than 
 one hundred ami eighty thousand units, set down 
 in almost every hamlet of the country. plaj"ed 
 a ilefinite, stirring, and highly fruitful part. One 
 of the phrases with which Congress created the 
 Council of National Defense is this: 'The creation 
 of relations which will render possible in time 
 of need the immediate concentration and utiliza- 
 tion of the resources of the Nation." It was un- 
 iler this authorit.v that the nation-wide Council 
 of Defense system was brought into being, just 
 as it was possible, as well as necessary for the 
 Council under the same authorit.v to bring about 
 the mobilization of our industrial, labor and 
 scientific forces for the national defense." 
 
 "On May 2, 1917, the Council of National De- 
 fense called in Washington a conference of the 
 States. From this meeting, which was addressed 
 by the I'resident of tiie L'nited States, by the 
 Chairman of the Council, and by several mem- 
 bers of the Cabinet, sprang the Council of De- 
 fense system as we now know it. Co-operation 
 was established between the State divisions of 
 the Woman's Committee of the Council of Na- 
 tional Defense and the work was everywhere got

 I'ARKE COVyTY [\ THE WORLD WAR 
 
 under way. It consisted in the first instance of 
 explaining and transmitting to all communities 
 of the country the policies and the programmes 
 of the various Federal Departments and war 
 agencies. Educational propaganila necessary for 
 the jnoper emphasis of war measures essential 
 to victor.v was prepared in Washington, and 
 through the Council of National Defense for- 
 wanled at once to the State Councils of Defense 
 and to the State divisions of the Women's Com- 
 mittee, where immediate decentralization of the 
 message to be conveyed or the work to be done 
 took place. In this wa.v the Council of Defense 
 s.vstem served in the mobilization of resources 
 and materials, and it stirreil the communal con- 
 science, and, b.v extension, the national con- 
 science, to a realization of the problems incident 
 to the winning of the war. With the personnel 
 almost wholl.v voluntary throughout, the original 
 machiner.v became an extensive and elaborate 
 mechanism, but one which has always stood up 
 under the stress and strain put upon it no mat- 
 ter how involved and taxing the task. Toda.v the 
 Councils of Defense system comprises 184,000 
 units, niaile up of State, County. Municipal and 
 Conimunit.v Councils of Defense." 
 
 "Towar.l the end of the war the direction of 
 the work was, as you know, concentrated into 
 the Fielil Division of the Council of National De- 
 fense uniler the chairmanship of Franklin K 
 Lane, Secretar.v of the Interior. The programmes 
 of the War, Navy, Agriculture, Interior and 
 Labor Departments, the Food and Fuel Adminis- 
 trations, the Shipping Board, the U. S. Employ- 
 ment Service, the Children's Bureau, the Bureau 
 of Kilucation, the American Red Cross, the Na- 
 tional War Savings Committee, the several Lib- 
 ert.v Loans, the Commission on Training Camp 
 Activities, and the various other officials i nd 
 recognized agencies united in the common task 
 of war, were sent in complete form to the States 
 and there made clear to the communities and 
 translated into action." 
 
 "Man.v of these programmes, and more es- 
 peciall.v those involving the exercise of extra- 
 ordinar.v powers or the responsibilit.v for handling 
 immense funds, required the creation of separate 
 machiner.v, which, radiating from the National 
 center to the small localities would concern itself 
 exclusivel.v with the fulfilment of the special 
 programme of the administration and be di- 
 rectl.v and fully responsible therefor. In the 
 creation of this special local m.achinery, the 
 Councils of Defense bore a large iiart. To your 
 prompt and effective aid the remarkably quick 
 and yet wholly sturd.v growth of the Food Ad- 
 ministration, Fuel Administration, the United 
 States Emplo.vment Service and other great war 
 administrations and agencies is in large measure 
 due. Even those established departments, which 
 
 like the Department of Agriculture, had already 
 spread a network of local agencies over the coun- 
 tr,v, were through your assistance enabled to 
 make this network rapidl.v finer, more complete 
 and ready to meet the strain of war. Your aid 
 to these Federal Departments and administra- 
 tions, however, by no means eniled there. You 
 provided to them facilities and assistance which 
 were needeil b.v all alike, first b.v one, and then 
 b.v another, and which therefore could be pro- 
 vided with economy only through a central or- 
 ganization, and .vou have made available to them 
 resources and i)ublic co-operation which no spe- 
 cial agene.v alone could command. Your ex- 
 tensive publicit.v organization which, because it 
 was always at work and at work everywhere, was 
 unparalled in the effectiveness and extent of its 
 contact with the press and in the vigor and com- 
 pleteness of its speakers' bureaus; your contact 
 with the people themselves through your coni- 
 munit.v councils: and your complete enlistment, 
 organization and leadership of the women of 
 America, have been a might.v source of power 
 from which arose much of the strength of these 
 local Federal bodies. In addition by bringing 
 these local Federal agencies together in your 
 State and County War Boards, you have fused 
 their energies and those of the State into one 
 harmonious and effective power, and have 
 brought into their councils the viewjioint of the 
 State and locality, which increased the effective- 
 ness of each organization through leading to a 
 closer adjustment of programmes to local needs 
 and conditions."' 
 
 ••In such of the great war programmes as did 
 not inherently require the creation of extensive 
 local machinery, .vou have assumed the full con- 
 duct of the work. You have thus saved the Na- 
 tion, at a time when economy was vital, the tre- 
 mendous expense of creating elaV)orate new ad- 
 ministrations, ramifying in ever increasing 
 multiplicity throughout the land; and you have 
 made possible the conduct of brief and immed- 
 iate emergency tasks when lack of time, as well 
 as inordinate expense, would otherwise have 
 made impossible the provision of the extensive 
 organization requisite to meet the l>riefj_but im- 
 perative need. Almost without additional ex- 
 pense or the creation of additional organization, 
 you have, under the leadership of the War In- 
 dustries Board, regulated and curtailed non-war 
 construction through the action of tribunals sit- 
 ting in ever.v County in America. You have con- 
 ducted for the Children's Bureau its Children's 
 Year programme, b.v creating a special organiza- 
 tion extending to counties, towns and even school 
 districts. You have relieved railroad congestion 
 through extending and facilitating motor trans- 
 portation. You have brought to the people a 
 message of economy and thrift and have made

 agencies ami co-ordinating their work in the in- 
 terest of economy of resources anil effort. You 
 have aiileil existing social agencies to meet the 
 strain of war and recruited thousands of nurses 
 to fill the emergency need of the hospitals at 
 home. You have met the problems of housing 
 in centers where intensification of war work has 
 leil to congestion. Through si)eakers and the 
 press, through personal contact, through com- 
 munit.v singing and the organized fellowship of 
 war workers in community councils, you have 
 aroused tliroughout the Xation a ilesire for ser- 
 vice; .vou have brought before the people an in- 
 telligent vision of how that service could best 
 be rendered, and you have upheld their faith 
 and enthusiasm throughout the trying uumtlis 
 of the war. thus winning the high title of being 
 the sjiecial gnanlians of civilian morale. Tlie 
 strengtli of your organization and .vonr pronijit 
 and effective execution of Federal |)rogranimes 
 and requests led President Wilson, on October 
 2H. litis, to request of every department or ad- 
 ministration in AVashington. when they were con- 
 sidering the extension of their organization or 
 new work to be done in the States, 'to determine 
 carefully whether they cannot make use of the 
 Council of Defense s.vstem' through the Council 
 of National Defense in Washington." 
 
 "Your work and the democratic nature of 
 your organization have also led to great perman- 
 ent benefits. You have awakened a nation-wide 
 interest in the welfare of our children, in the 
 assimilation and Americanization of cuir foreign 
 born, in healthy group recreation and social ex- 
 pression anil in wise non-iiartisan communit.v 
 organization. You have made the communities 
 sensible of their own needs and opportunities and 
 strong in action to meet them. Y'ou have de- 
 velojied the means of translating the new in- 
 terests which you have aroused into effective ac- 
 tion, and the work which you have done and 
 the organization which you have established may 
 fittingly 1)0 maintained as permanent monuments 
 of the war." 
 
 "Thus during the war you have, on a non- 
 partisan liasis throughout, strengthened and up- 
 held the hands of the Federal Government, ,vou 
 have made available to it the great resources of 
 your State and .vou have brought the people of 
 
 tlie Government in effective and understanding 
 service." 
 
 We publish so much of tliis letter because it 
 deals with the work of the Council of Defense, 
 and we have tried to avoid in this article specific 
 local references. Unification and Americanization 
 of the people of America, without partisanship, 
 was one of the iiroblenis that was constantly be- 
 fore the Councils of Defense everywhere, and 
 one of the "goals" striven for. 
 
 Parke County knew no partisanship during 
 the war. Our hearts beat in sympathy, as Amer- 
 icans for "America lirst," and our single aim was 
 to "Win the War." 
 
 In I'arke County the Council was appointed 
 by Judge Henry Daniels and was composed of the 
 following members: F. H. Nichols, W. P. Mont- 
 gomery, Mrs. Mary Leatherman, A. H. Stark, 
 Fred Wimmer, Dr. R. E. Swope, and William 
 Bion Ceilings. On the organization of the Coun- 
 cil Mr. Nichols became Chairman and Mrs. 
 Leathernuin, Secretary. Later Mr. Nichols, on 
 account of extra heavy work in other depart- 
 ments, resigned. Mr. Collings resigned on ac- 
 count of inability to attend meetings. Dr. Swope 
 resigned to enter the service, and in their places 
 George W. Rohm, John S. McFaddin and John H. 
 Spencer were appointed. On the reorganization 
 of the Council Mr. McFaddin became Chairman, 
 Mr. Montgomery, A'ice-Chairman and Mrs. Leath- 
 erman continued as Secretary. This organization 
 continued until the dissolution of the Council 
 system in the summer of 1019, and has continued 
 as an unofficial organization to complete the un- 
 finished work still before it. It undertook the 
 general supervision of the Home Coming Da.y 
 celebration under appointment b.v the Board of 
 Commissioners, and of this History at the request 
 of the State Council of Defense and the Director 
 of the War History of Indiana. 
 
 In closing this article the Council returns its 
 thanks, not only to the heads of departments and 
 bureaus, to all the War Committees with whom 
 ii has worked, but to the rank and file of pa- 
 triotic men and women of Parke County who 
 have so loyall.v given their time, their energies, 
 their talent, their money and their sons in our 
 common great cause. Whatever success we have 
 achieved in Parke County, whatever has been done 
 in production, war work and charity, is due to 
 their patriotic, untiring efforts and loyalty.

 Tlie Parke County War Boani heW its last 
 auil final meeting Xovenilier ;!0, 191S. at Trhich 
 time it recommended for payment the claims 
 that were on file in the Auditor's office. And 
 after due consideration of the purpose for which 
 the Board was createil, it was decided that its 
 uses and functions were enderl, this condition 
 
 heing Urought about by the signing of the Arm- 
 istice which practically ended the war. 
 
 This action was taken by the decision of the 
 Boaril due to a decision of the State Board of 
 Accounts, that the pa.vment of expenses of war 
 organizations out of public funds should cease. 
 
 The Board disbanded November 30, 191S, 
 having performed the duties and services for 
 which it was created. 
 
 THE WAR CHEST MOVEMENT .\XD 
 ITS ACCOMPLISHMENTS 
 
 ^d N May of 1S'1>. our citizens organized the 
 1j I'arke County War Aid Association, popu- 
 kuly known as the War Chest. The obliga- 
 tion of the subscription was for the period of the 
 war, anil this, strictl.v speaking, was until the 
 time peace shouhi be formally proclaimed be- 
 tween the United States and German.v. At the 
 beginning of its organization no one was s;iu- 
 guine enough to entertain the thought that there 
 woultl be a cessjition of actual fighting under 
 the lapse of a year. With the signing of the 
 armistice early in November, 191S, some confus- 
 ion arose as to the period of the subscription, 
 anil to relieve this confusion and to do equity 
 to those members who hail been solicited to, and 
 had jiaid in advance their subscriptions for a 
 year, it was decided to close subscriptions with 
 the payment <lue May 1, 1919, thus making all 
 subscriptions cover one year. 
 
 The original ob.ject was to raise by quotas 
 equitably assessed against the townships -^50,000 
 for t'le various war relief societies, to be paid 
 upon appropriations made by the executive com- 
 untiL-e. Thn foll>'..rs wa-: its (.-ganization:

LIBERTY LOAN DRIVES AND THEIR 
 MANAGEMENT 
 
 GEORGE L. LANEY. 
 
 Till' American people were not nnniindful 
 of tli(" fai-t, even before our entrance into the 
 recent (ireat World War. that the expense in 
 both blooil and treasure would be enormous. 
 They full.v realizerl on the evening of April 17. 
 liHT, that the.v were confronted with a condition, 
 tlie like of wliich was not recorded in the annals 
 of time. The.v were not unuiin.lful of the fact 
 that the.v would be called upon to make sacri- 
 fice not only of blood and treasure ; but the con- 
 veniences and luxuries of life as well: whicli 
 they patrioticali.v, nobly and uncomplainingl.v 
 dill in sui]iiort of the righteous cause. 
 
 In order to raise the enormous amovuit of 
 mone.v which would lie necessary to successfuU.v 
 prosecute the war, our government resorted to 
 the popular subscription idea, whereby all the 
 [leople were given an opjiortunit.v to assist in 
 financing tlie w.-ir. To full.v accomjdish this, it 
 was decided that there should lie offered to 
 the citizenshiji of our country, to be subscribeil 
 for b.v the imlividuals of the countr.v — the arti- 
 .san, the farmer, the business man. the laborer, 
 the lianker, the broker, the doctor, the law.ver, 
 ^lie washer-woman, and all other nersons, the 
 bonils or obligations of our government. Tin;-- 
 was done l\y a series of Libert.v Loan Cam- 
 paigns: at which time solicitors or canvassers, 
 appointeil b.v count.v and township organization, 
 went into the homes, the mines, the work-shop, 
 the banks — in fact ever.vwhere and gave the 
 individual au opijortunity to subscribe for the 
 lionils. There were five series of these loans. The 
 entire country was divided into what was known 
 as Federal Reserve Districts. Parke Count.v along 
 with sixty-seven other counties of the State, was 
 located in the Seventh Federal Reserve District, 
 with headquarters at Chicago. Each of the Federal 
 Reserve Districts had its own separate organi- 
 zation, and officers. Each state had its own or- 
 ganization, the Chairman and other officers 
 being appointed b.v the Chairman of the Feiler- 
 al Reserve District. 
 
 The different States were sub-divided into 
 districts, these districts being composed of the 
 
 several counties in the different Congressional 
 Districts. Each of these Districts had its own 
 organization and officers. The Districts were 
 divided by counties: and each county had its 
 own organization. The counties were also clivid- 
 ed b.y townships, b.v the Count.v Chairman; each 
 township having its own organization, the chair- 
 man and other officers being appointeil b.v the 
 Count.v Chairman. The townships were divided 
 b.v tlieir township officers into wards and pre- 
 cincts; each precinct and ward having its 
 Chairnuin. In addition to the above organizations, 
 in several counties, there was what was known 
 as the "Men's Organization;" and the "Women's 
 Organization." These organizations had their own 
 organization, but working harmonionsl.v and 
 patrioticali.v together. Each Federal Reserve Dis- 
 trict had a "quota." or a stated or given amount 
 assigned to it, this "quota" being based on the 
 b;ink deposits and bank resources of the Dis- 
 trict. In a like manner each of the different 
 counties had a quota assigned to it. In three of 
 the Loan t!anipaigns in Parke Count.v, the differ- 
 ent townshijis were assigned a quota. This quota 
 was liased on the population and assessed vaiu- 
 :ition of the township. The Federal Government 
 had provided what were known as "Honor Flags" 
 to be awarded to the different counties, town- 
 ships, etc., whenever they had sold the quota as- 
 signed them b.v their State or Count.v Chair- 
 man. In every instance where these flags were 
 offered b.v the Government, Parke Count.v was 
 able to fl.v aloft, this flag; which was one of 
 the most beautiful emblems ever kissed b.v the 
 vagrant winds. Beautiful in its trinity of colors, 
 as it spoke triumph, patriotism and sacrifice. 
 The different townships of the county were also 
 able to float to the breezes one of these flags, 
 wlienever there was a specific quota assigned to 
 them. 
 
 In addition to furnishing the flags the Fed- 
 eral Government assisted in other wa.vs to stim- 
 ulate the zeal and augment the enthusiasm of 
 our jieople b.v special attractions. The county or- 
 ganization succeeded during the Third Liberty

 For all our ehihlren's sake,

 TlieN' s;iii| that our boys were responding to 
 every call that u.-is m.ide npon them in Flanders 
 and FraiKH'. Tiiat the\" were responding by going 
 ■'()\er the Top," uitli w.-ivi' .-ifti'r wave of steid, 
 .■iiol blood .-ind hum.in lives. .\iul that it wo\dd 
 be inijiossible that wi' should ever be so base, 
 so recreant, so unworthy of our gallant boys, as 
 to falter for ii moment in responding to whatever 
 rail that was made upon them, or in going "o\'er the 
 top" with wave after wave of gold. They thought 
 in millions.. They gave in millions. And wlien- 
 I'ver there was a call for giving (which after all 
 was not giving, but merely loaning at a profit 
 ami on the best security in the world.* they 
 .always remembered "That he gave doubly, who 
 ga\e (piiidily." They said tli:it the Huns were 
 sending uiillidns against us: niul that they 
 would assist in sending millions ag;iiust him. 
 
 They realized tliat for tlir.',> .iml a lialf years 
 Europe had been drenched in blood; and that 
 for more than three years the manhood <if Eu- 
 rope — youth in the glory of its gallantry, in tlie 
 sjdendor of its promise — had been fed to the 
 furnaci's of war. That Europe was a temple of 
 sorrow; and that Rachel was mourning the loss 
 of her ehihlren liecanse they were not. They also 
 realized tliat France, which had hitherto been 
 the playground of the western world, wouhl be- 
 come sacred soil to us; for there onr ilead wonld 
 rest. That rude wooden crosses would adorn the 
 shell scarred battlefields, each sinijile cross 
 marking the grave of an .\merican boy wlio died 
 in the defense of the .\meiica he loved and those 
 near ami dear to liim. They reali/.i'd, that at 
 that timi' Aniei ic.-i had not s\iffered her spiritual 
 agony, Imt that she couhl not escape. She, too, 
 like Europe, must toil painfully the weary road 
 to Calvar.v. They asked themselves, has not the 
 time come for America to take stock, to ask itself 
 if it knows the full meaning of this war, to faee 
 facts instead of illusions? That millions of men 
 had been slaughtered, that more millions would 
 go forth in the strength and i)ri<le of their man- 
 hood, to come back broken. They realized that 
 America wonld have to swell the ever-mounting 
 and increasing toll, giving the youth npon wdiom 
 its future depemled. They fully realized that we 
 
 were fighting that war to defend our homes, inn 
 wives, onr children and posterity from the de- 
 filing hand of the Germans. That we were fight- 
 ing to protect our homes from a beast who knew 
 no mercy, a lieast whose lust was ilestruction ; 
 that wi' wiae fighting to pieserve the institu- 
 tioiis we love, the lilierty we c lierish, the freedom 
 ue;ir and dear to ns. Tlu'v knew that if we were 
 defeated that we would no longer be freemen 
 luit slaves of the most uoMciless and brutal task- 
 lu.-ister the «orld ever knew. Tliey realizeil tliat 
 our ilanger was great, ami that only our courage, 
 detei luin.-ition, sacrifice, patriotism, our ilevo- 
 tion to our flag and country could avert it. 
 
 Tlie\- full\- reali/.i'd tli.-it tliey must think in 
 terms ol' (ieruian dead, killi-d b,\" ril"les in the 
 hands ol' .Vuieiic.-iu bo_\ s. I.ionght with .Vmerican

 ba,\'onet. in the haiiils of a I'ormer iderk in one 
 ot' our banks or business houses, which ba,vouet 
 w;is jmrtdiased b,\' the sacrifice (.d" the wid(.iws 
 and oiphans of I'arke t'ount.v, by the deadly and 
 poisonous gas, emitting its dea<lly fiiiius from 
 a tank o|ierated by a I'arke County p:itiiot, by 
 the deadly flames shooting troui ii tank on the 
 back of a I'arke County hero, all of wiiiidi was 
 made [lossibb' b,\' undying de\"otion of the jiat- 
 I'iotic citizens of the count.v. They full.v realized 
 that the more liberall.v they snb.scribed for 
 bonds, and the uioie (leriiians killed the fewer 
 graves there wnuld be along thi' wa.vside of 
 France, of the flower and sjdendor of Parke 
 County's manhood. Our citizens fully realized 
 that the more liberally they snbscribeil for 
 bonds, the less the danger to our wives and 
 daughters; ami the more Germans killed the soon- 
 er we wonhl welcome home our gallant bo.vs who 
 were braving the ilangers of the battlefield. 
 They had no other thought than this, no other 
 nctivit.v aiiart from the dut.v wdiich they owed 
 these bo.vs and onr country. They were actuated 
 by no other imiuilse. 
 
 The writer has no apologies to make, no ex- 
 cuse to offer, no regret for having unclothed the 
 masquerade of rhetoric, and stated the case in 
 plain words — in plain English. It ma.v, per- 
 chance, offend the over nice sensibilities of per- 
 haps some well-meaning but unbalanced person 
 who wasted his sympathies over the sufferings 
 of the lobster — the Kaiser — as his coniiilexion 
 turned from a dirty blue to a didicate pink, 
 while they were unmoved by tlie knowledge of 
 the sufferings of our bo,vs; ami tlie secrifices 
 of our jieople. Our jieopde were not unmindful

 Too Miiu'h eveilit cannot be given to the loyal 
 men anil women who neglecteil their homes ami

 ilrive was on in the s]iringtime, the season of the 
 vear when farmers are Imsily engageil, anil it 
 must lie rememliereil that oiii- county is purely 
 an agricultural county — yet in every townshi|i 
 there were a numlier of men ami women wlio 
 snspenileil all their usual ihities to engage in 
 freeilom's cause. 
 
 On Saturday, Si'ptemler Lis. Uils, the people 
 of not only Parke <'(iunt,^'. Imt the entire United 
 States, were confriinteil with a task, the like 
 of which ne\er liet'ore confronteil a Nation or 
 country since the ilawn nf creation. Our conn- 
 try liail askeil for the sum of $(i,(lll(l,lHi(l,(l(lll.ll{i ; 
 all to come from the sa\ ings ami sacriliccs of the 
 people. 
 
 It is not to In' wnu.lrreil that the Loan 
 lagged a littli' in the early days cif the cam 
 paign. Six billions id' doll.irs is a stupefying total. 
 The writer will say, by way of an illustration and 
 com])arison, that if thri'e tliousand dollars had 
 been laid asiil(> by Father .\dam and Mother Eve 
 on the morning that they weie placed in the 
 (iarden of Eden, .-iml a like amount laid aside 
 every da.v from that day to this, the sum total 
 would have been only a few thousand in excess 
 of that amount. Of this enormous amount there 
 was assigned Parke County the sum of five hun- 
 dred thousand didlars. Owing to mistake wlii<di 
 was made at the State he.-idciuarters of the Lib- 
 ert.v Loan organization, this sum was tifty thous- 
 and dollars nuire than our tiue or real quota. 
 I'aike County's real ipiota slioidd have been four 
 hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In acceirting 
 this amount tlie County Chairman entertained the 
 same ideas and opinion of the patriotic men and 
 women of the County as was exjiresseil by the 
 State Director of Sales, when he said that h • 
 knew that our peojile were so intensely loyal and 
 ]iatriotic that they would readily and cheerfully 
 subscribe for tlie entire amount. 
 
 Our ]ieople realized at the close of the Third 
 Libert.v Loan that other Lilierty Loans would b;' 
 called before the Inigle sounded the recall of 
 our boys from France and Flanders. Our splen- 
 did corps of workers throughout the County said 
 they rejoiced that the training and drilling wdiich 
 they received, and which the people had also 
 received, had taught them how to sacrifice for an 
 eternal cause. 
 
 The Fourth Liln'rty Loan will stand in the 
 history of Parke County as the most magnificent 
 display of popular sacrifice, not only in Parke 
 Count.v, liut the Nation as well, which was ever 
 seen upon the American Continent. It is hardlj 
 [00 much to say that one member of every fam- 
 
 ily in the County bought a Libeity Bond, (ireat 
 self-denial was the rule and the solidarity of their 
 l)atri(>tic spirit attaineil was an inestimable in- 
 crenu'ut of their wealth and nuirale. 
 
 Our people had a right to rejoice over the 
 success of the Fourtli Liberty Loan. It was the 
 most nmgnificent triumpli ever recorded of civil 
 victory over selfishness and parsinmny. Six hun- 
 dred, forty-four thousand, four hundred fifty dol- 
 lars, all taken out of the savings of our County, 
 e\ery dollar of it representing .a victory of pa- 
 triotism and self-ilcnial over 'selfishness and 
 money cowardice. We ha\e a right to exult. And 
 we could auil would ilo it again. Y'es, they helped 
 to win a victory. It is won. Clory has perched 
 on the Stars and Stri]ies. Immortality sets as 
 a halo on the lirows of the coucpiering Americans. 
 It is true that they went over seas to tight, to 
 cany the starry flag to a glorious victory. It is 
 true they completed their jol) of fighting, suft'er- 
 ing, dying for American ideals of right and 
 liberty. It is also true that .vou, the citizen of 
 P.arke County, diii your share in sacrificing, self- 
 denial and devotion. And to you also belongs a 
 Iiart of this glory. For without yonr assistance, 
 your co-operation, it would have been impossible 
 for them to have accomplished what the,v did. 
 
 I'sually it takes some time to bring the jieopb' 
 to the i)oint of making a great sacrifice. But they 
 caught the spirit of the sacrifice — they put off 
 buying even the little jdeasures of life — they 
 denied themselves of many luxuries that they 
 might give the Government their best support. 
 
 As sfateil above, the actual cpiota for the 
 Fourth Loan was $450,000.00, and the actual sub- 
 scriptions were $664,4.50.00, which was one liun- 
 dreii and forty -three and two-tenths per cent of 
 the quota, the subscrijitiou per cajiita l>eing 
 $2S).(i.">, and the number of snbscribeis being 
 2,641, whiidi is twelve per cent, of the entire popu- 
 l:ition of the County, who had subscribed for 
 bonds during the Fourth Loan camp.aigu. The 
 average size of the subscri]itions in this Loan 
 was ,+247.00. Every Townshiji in the County ex- 
 ceeded its quota, as they had dune in the Third 
 Loan, and thereby received another honor flag. 
 On the evening of Friday, October IS, 1918, there 
 was great rejoicing in the Count.v, not only among 
 the eflicient and cai)able corps of workers, but the 
 entire populace, when the Count.v Chairnmn an- 
 nounced the result of the drive. It li.ad been 
 genenill.v conceded that we would be able to sell 
 our quota, but there were none who were willing 
 to admit or believe that the goal as fixed b.v the 
 (.'hairman in the early days of the campaign, i. e. 
 $62.1,000.00, would ever be reached. The Chair- 
 man, however, was ver.v optimistic. He said he 
 knew the people of the Count.v, and that they 
 were read.v and willing to undergo any ordeal 
 or sacrifice to aid and assist in winning the war,

 organization work, speeches lieing made through-

 of the Sjieakers' Bureau, which was continued liy 
 Mr. MontgonoMv. The sa]ne iiublicity was given 
 to the Loan as in former drives. During this 
 drive, Edmund ]'. Beadle was Chairman id' the 
 Publicity Bureau. The "stage" had been well 
 set for the opening of this, whii-h was the last 
 loan drive made necessary by the great World 
 War. In this Loan the Government had fixed as 
 the minimum of subscri]ition or sale the sum of 
 $4,.^0n,0nn,0nn.(ln, with the right Ijeing reserved to

 This rule of the State Director of hiales wiis first 
 invoked during the Fourth Liberty Loan. Tf 
 there was any way of ascertaining the :iniiiunt 
 that w;is diverted in each fif these Lii;ins it 
 would veiv materi;illy augment the grand tot:il 
 for the county. There were very few ('ounties in 
 the State so greatly in.iured by this rule of di- 
 version as Parke. But our peojile realized that 
 it w;ls going for the same grand and glorious pur- 
 jiose and nuide no complaint. The s:ime sidrit 
 of loyalty, jiatriotism and co-oper:ition jirevailed 
 in the \'ictorv Loan :is in all former Lo:ins. 
 
 Ju ;iddition to the Liberty Loans there was 
 a system of financing the war which was not t:ik-

 On the niorning of April 7, 1IU7, the day fol- 
 
I'Ah-KL- ( orM"i I\ TIIIJ WOULD ^yAR 
 
 lowiiif; tlio declaration of war against Germany, 
 the iK'iiiile of Parke County had a cdear vision 
 (if the conditions wliieh eonfrouted onr forefatli- 
 ers thi-ei' liiindred and tliirty years before. TIkmi 
 the daik and hlnod.v t.vranny of Spain liad lir- 
 (donded and daikeued the wliole worlil. In th.-it 
 vision iini iieuple s:nv tlie iniglit.v Spanish x\.ri!iad:i, 
 stiiuit; with the piide of successful oppression, 
 hiden wifli till' 1 Tuidties of tlie Inquisition, lying 
 at anchor in the hngiisli Channel. They saw tlie 
 conditions which existed on that fair Saldiath 
 morn, all .along tlie shores of England and Hol- 
 land. They heard the ringing of church liells 
 calling the faithful to the shrines of their devii 
 tion. They saw the nolile and true men and wonien 
 til uhiiiii we owe (uii life and existence, kneidin ; 
 ;it the alt.-ns of thi'ii' (Wid. praying that they 
 might lie spared the lioirors of a St. Bartholo- 
 mew's day. They saw on the liiislied and ex- 
 pectant sea the sailms iif the little English fleet, 
 gathering on the decks to receive the Hol.v Com- 
 munion which was to st.engthen them for the 
 |]ol\- conflict. They conteni]ilated that scene. 
 Whal awfid silence. \Vh;it jirofound thought. 
 Wh.'it consecration of heait. What mighty ap- 
 peal to l.oi.l (if Hosts th.at were sent up during 
 that liiiur. Our people said tliat no woman ndio 
 would lie calle(l iipdU to give up hiisliand in- sun 
 to the deadly lisk of Icittle; that no man who 
 would offer himself to the tierce arbitrament of 
 the Moody conllict, should lie neglect'd in the 
 least. Our citizenshiji met under the cross of 
 Christ and received the message of wai'. They 
 said that it was no time for idle bravado, foi- 
 wild and whirling wmils of jiassion or pride: 
 no chea|i appeal t(i the desire foi- fame. Xeithei- 
 was it a time for the outburst of timidity, nor 
 tor the selfish words of comfiirt in the name o'' 
 peace. They said that it was not a time for sour 
 and futile criticism wliiidi would have a tendency 
 to weaken, and wduld not assist or purify. Tliey 
 said that it w.-is a time for consecration, con 
 serv.-ition : for union, for earnestness, for sacii 
 
 tice, for dcMition and for prayer. They said that 
 we had not entered the war under the I'rovidence 
 of God to enrich ourselves, but to protect our 
 homes and firesides, and for the sake of human- 
 ity. They realized that tlie cross of war is tlie 
 heaviest burden that a Nation is ever called upon 
 fo c.-iny, and fli.'it it would entail a long list of 
 misery and woe. sorrow and suft'ering; but said 
 they were ready to bear the burden. They fur- 
 ther realized that the cross of war sometimes lay 
 across the jiathway of a Nation in the discharge 
 (if its duty, and could not be evaded, and that 
 this ((iiiditiiin is bidught aliout liy ordinance of 
 .Minighty Gud. 
 
 Oui pc(i]ile had another vision. In this vis- 
 ion they s:iw da.v after day the tittacks of the 
 German stduiiarines upon neutral and friendl.v 
 vessels laden with a cargo of human smds. being 
 sent to the bottom of the Atlantic. Tliey saw 
 file siuking (if the Lusitania — the sacrifice of in- 
 nocent men and women and children, wlioU.v 
 uncalliMl for and unwarranted. They saw the 
 sad sjiectacle of hundreds of innocent men, women 
 and children consigned to the bottom of the deep 
 without warning or cause. They saw the babe 
 u]ion its mother's breast, before its infinite pos- 
 sibilities had begun to unfold before it, hurled 
 into eternit.v to gratif.v tne fiendish desire of 
 German autocrticy. They saw the black-winged 
 vultures hovering over the dark and mysterious 
 waters (if the .\tlantic, watching for the belated 
 dead. Then they resolved that the.v would give 
 their wealth, concentrate their efforts, dedicate 
 thidr hearts in the cause of freedom, liliert.v and 
 humanity. To that end that the.v might assist 
 in digging deeper the foundations and broader 
 the walls of democrac.v, and in defense of the 
 country which they love, over which will float the 
 Stars and Stripes, the fairest emblem ever kissed 
 b.v the vagrant winds; beautiful in its trinit.v of 
 cidors as if sjieaks of freedom, libert.v and hu- 
 inaiiitv.

 The history of the Food Administration for 
 the County woulil not be complete without some- 
 thing of a sfcitenient of the restrictions that were 
 placed upon the people from time to time. This 
 is not given for the benefit of people who passed 
 through tlie experiences, but we are writing for 
 future generations as well as the present, and 
 for those who are to come after us so it will be 
 wortli while to record some of these restrictions. 
 This is especiall.v worth while when it is remem- 
 bered that never before in the history of our 
 country was it deemeil necessary to restrict peo- 
 ple in the jiurchase of fooil supplies. 
 
 But those in a position to know liest main- 
 tained that food conservation was one of the pri- 
 mary factors in the program for winning the 
 war. .\ud aiijiarentl.v their contention has been 
 fully ,)ustihed by later facts as they have <le- 
 velojjed. "Food will win the war" became the 
 slogan of the Food Administration. The pub- 
 licity agencies of the organization placarded the 
 country with the slogan, especially in public eat- 
 ing houses. But it also aj^peared in street cars, on 
 lull boards, as headlines of newspapers, in the 
 ailvertisements of food concerns and even other 
 business houses and in a great variety of other 
 place's. 
 
 The first shortage in any commodity to affect 
 the retail trade was in sugar. This came early in 
 the fall of 1917, and before the Food Administra- 
 tion was fully organized. As early as October, 
 dealers liegan to tell their customers "no sugar."' 
 .\nil it is worthy of note, too, that the tirst re- 
 strictions upon sales were placed b.v the dealers 
 themselves. Fimling themselves confronted with 
 a shortage of supply, they saw the fairness of 
 ilividiug it between their customers, instead of 
 letting a few have the entire supply. 
 
 But about the 2Sth of December the Food 
 .Administration placed a general restriction upon 
 the use of sugar for ordinary domestic purposes 
 by limiting sales to three pounds per person per 
 month. This was followed shortly by an order 
 requiring dealers to keep a record of sales and 
 rei)orting the same each week to the County 
 Food Administiator. Then along in the summer, 
 about August 1, the per capita allowance was 
 cut to two pounils per month. Sugar for can- 
 ning purjioses and for curing meat was provided 
 outside of this allowance, distribution of this 
 being on cards issued by the Food Ailministrator 
 or his deputies. In order to provide sugar in 
 sufficient quantity for these latter uses the Coun- 
 ty Food Administrator arranged for special car 
 load shipments of sugar into the County directly 
 from refineries, and supplied it to the retailers 
 of the Count.v. But in order to nmke these ship- 
 ments it was necessary to get the consent of the

 in two forms. First, the jier capita limitations [irobably not very much, but it is almost cer- 
 upon the (luantity that should be purchase.!. This t^i'i'l.^' known from the amount of these things 
 limit was jdaced at a pound and a half per week '^"''l I'.v r.dailers tli.-it th.- rules were ipiite gen-

 ports made in the same manner as the handling ter, even .langerous, towar.l an infraction of these 
 of sugar. Second, an or.ler was issued requiring ''"'''s i» » public eating house. Small children

 The wis.lom of the flour substitute idan was ^.|,ti„ii many times as large as the Food A.lminis- 
 seriously questioned during the time that it was tration ha.i to have enforced them. And when 
 in force, even by many who observed its ]iro- jj j^ rememben-d that the organization was it 
 visions lo.vally. It was contende.l that a great ,„,|j' ,, voluntary one and that not a man in the 
 many j.e.q.le wasted the sub.stitutes or fe.l them p,„„, Administration, from Mr. Hoovi^r down, 
 to stock. On this point it is only fair to men- ,.xeept full-time clerks, receive.l a .loUar of eola- 
 tion two or three things. First, it is very <loul)t- pensation, it will be readily uiidersood that in 
 ful if this wastage was anything like as con f,,,, ,{,,.,1 .,„.,|y„i„ the Food Administration rules

 thing higlier priced than the cheapest feeds that trving situation as pertaining to food, they did 
 will answer the purpose. And it is so easy to |,^. v.duntarv limitations upon themselves' save 
 imagine that anything we see two or three peo- ,,„„ugh of foodstuff's that the food problem in its 
 pie doing is a general practice. But the most i-.-lation to the winning of the war was promptly 
 important consideration in connection with the .|j|,| |.,iiindetidv solved, 
 substitute rule is the fact that it did save Hour, 
 And that was the thing aimeil at. We had plenty 
 of a lot of these other things, and could afford 
 
 Also, it is worthy of note that in the .judg- 
 ment of officers of the State and National Food 
 some waste in them But we"simplv had to save Administration, the people of Parke County stood 
 Hour. This rule did this thing and was worth s'-''""'' *" none in their lo.yalty to the food pro- 
 
 in winning the war all that it ma.v have cost in 
 waste of cornmeal. 
 
 For a time there were restrictions upon meat, 
 and special restrictions upon pork. We had meat- 
 less and ]iorkless days and meals .just as we also 
 had wheatless days and meals. The regulations 
 as to meats were obligatory xipon public eating 
 places, but were urgentl.v requesteil of private But if the jidi was well done in I'aike Coun- 
 
 homes. We havi' no way of knowing exactly ty it was due to the fact that the people of Parke 
 what proportion of the people observed them in County, in foo<l matter.s as well as in everything 
 
 gram for winning the war. T)r. Barnaril, State 
 Food Administrator, cre.lits Parke County with 
 one hundred per cent. eHiciency in its food rec- 
 ord, and to the Food Administrator of the Coun- 
 t.v he wrote a |iersonal letter when the work was

 FUEL ADMINISTRATION AND ITS 
 PROBLEMS 
 
 THEODORE F. GAEBLER. 
 
 \-^ ! I'H the entry of the United States into 
 1x1 ''"^ World War came the uecessitj- of con- 
 serving niau.v of our natural resources, 
 j>i uHipal among which was our fuel suppl.v. 
 
 A Government dei>artment for the conserva- 
 tion and distriUutiou of our coal supply was es- 
 tablished by President Wilson under the direc- 
 tion of Dr. H. A. Gartiebl. whom President Wil- 
 son appointed Chief Fuel Administrator for the 
 r. S .\. Mr. Garfield began his organization by 
 appointing a Federal Fuel Administrator for each 
 State. Evans Woollen, of Indianapolis, was ap- 
 I>ointed Fuel Administrator for Indiana. Mr. 
 Woollen appointed a Federal Fuel Administrator 
 for each County, and each County Ailministrator 
 was appointeil upon the recommendation of the 
 County Council of Defense. 
 
 On November 1. 1SU7. the Parke County Coun- 
 cil of Defense recommendeil the a]ipointment of 
 Theoilore F. Gaebler. of Rockville. for the office 
 of Federal Fuel Administrator for this County. 
 On November :i. li>17, a certificate of appoint- 
 ment to the office was received b.v Mr. Gaebler. 
 with instructions to take up the duties of the 
 office at once and report conilitions in Parke 
 County li.v November H. as to mining anil suppl.v 
 of coal. 
 
 Cpon investigation Mr. Gaebler found that 
 in all there were sixt.v-six mines, large and small, 
 then iu operation in Parke Count.v, ranging from 
 five tons to eleven humlred tons each, anil that 
 the dail.v output of coal was about three thous- 
 and tons. The task of equitably distriViuting this 
 coal where needed most, to see that no one 
 hoariled fuel while others diil without, was suc- 
 cessfull.v managed by Mr. Gaebler with the co- 
 operation of the mine owners, miners and coal 
 dealers to the extent that we had no real suf- 
 fering during the two years of the war. such as 
 
 was ex])erienced in other counties in Indiana 
 where no coal was rained and where the peoiile 
 were obliged to depend upon our surplus. 
 
 The schools of the County were kept in fuel 
 and open every da.v, while many in the State 
 were closed for mouths because they could not 
 get fuel. The industries of the County were only 
 obliged to cut their production fifty per cent., ami 
 all homes were kept warm. Bulletins were issued 
 almost dail.v liy the Federal Fuel Administrator, 
 ■ lirectiug all County Administrators in their 
 work and keeping them posted regarding the new 
 rules and orders which fast changing conditions 
 made necessary for Washington to issue fre- 
 cpientl.v. A few of these bulletins copied here will 
 .■xplain the situation, anil are as follows: 
 
 I. Until further orders of the United States 
 Fuel -Xdniinistrator. all persons selling fuel in 
 whatever capacit.v shall give preference to orders 
 for necessary requirements: ' 
 
 (ai Of railroads. 
 
 (bi Of domestic consumers, hospitals, charit- 
 able institutions and army and nav.v canton- 
 ments. 
 
 (c) Of public utilities, telephone and tele-

 (d) Of ships and vessels for liunker pur- 
 poses. 
 
 (el Of the United States for strictly (iovern-

 the United States. 
 
 (fi Of Municipal. County or State Govern- 
 ments. 
 
 (g) Of manufacturers of perishable food or 
 ;)f food for necessary immediate consumption. 
 
 . The order further provided that on January 
 IS, 19, L'O, 21 and i'l. 1918, no fuel shall be de- 
 livered to an.v person, firm, association or cor-

 emergenoy. It is to help tlie I'oal trade distri- 
 liute the </oal ami jjreveut real suffering in one 
 locality while in another there is coal and to 
 spare. It is not the purpose of the United States 
 Fuel Administrator to handle all the coal for tlie 
 entire State or for even one County. The Fuel 
 Administrator is tlie emergency agent; he will 
 get action when every other avenue of relief has 
 failed. 
 
 It isn't a matter of whetlier the individual 
 can affonl to use coal wastefully. The jioint is 
 that the country cannot afford to use coal waste- 
 fully. The country does waste coal. Some people 
 will sufl'er directly by not having coal to lieat 
 their homes, and everyone will suft'er from the 
 prolonging of the war. 
 
 On February 2r,, 1919, .all County Federal Fuel 
 .Administrators were notified from Washington 
 to close up their administration with a full re- 
 port of their work: to classify all correspondence, 
 etc., each in a packaijc iii'o]ierly marked under 
 instructions and ]iacked in a case and forwarded 
 id Washington, I). C.. with a complete index to 
 contents of the case and ]iackages. This was 
 done and tlie index from I'arke County reads as 
 follows:

 On .M;irch .'i, 1919, Mr. Gaebler received an 
 honorable discharge from the Government. Pre- 
 vious to this he received the following letter from 
 St.ate .\rlministrator Woollen: 
 
 .\Iy Dear Mr. Gaebler: 
 
 .\s we come to the end of oui- service to- 
 gether in the Fuel Administration, I wish to sa.y 
 again that most of such success as we have had 
 h;is been due to our organization in the counties, 
 ■^'on have been earnest in co-operation and pa- 
 tient with our shortcomings. It was a privilege 
 to be associated with such an organization and 
 for the jirivilege I shall never cease to be grate- 
 ful. I am thankful, too, that I have had the 
 opportunit.v of enlarging m,v friendshiiis. 
 
 "Please give me the pleasure of seeing you 
 now :ind then wdien you are in Imlianapolis. 
 
 With all good wishes and gratitude. 
 Faithfully, 
 
 EVANS WOOLLEN, 
 Federal Fuel Administrator for Inili;ina. 
 
ACTIVITIES OF OUR SCHOOLS 
 DURING THE WAR 
 
 .ruHX H. .lOLLIEF 
 
 ^ro THE on.l that jjosterity iiiay know of tlio 
 Lfi loyal ]iart taken l>y tlip ti'ai'luTs anW ]i\ipils 
 ■ liii'ing tlie woi-lil crisis this brief sketch 
 of their activities is here recorded. As call after 
 .•all met with hearty resjjonse from the schools 
 'he glory ami honor due tlie edm-atioiial institu- 
 tions deserves to lie forever enildazoiieil in tlie 
 annals of history, until time shall be no niori' 
 inci jieace sliall reign sujireme. Love of country 
 lud devotion to its cause in the great humani 
 tarian conttict was reflected in the untiring ef- 
 forts of tea(liers ami jiuidls in their attempts 
 to aid in the creation in this couutiy of a fight- 
 iiig machine unequalled for valor, bravei-y anil 
 ■iiicrifice. and wliicli was backed by the united 
 strength of .-in ainiy of men. woTuen and children, 
 'ill anxious ti> do luit only their bit but their 
 utmost. With the courage which comes from 
 .'.eing in the right, the schools of f'arke County 
 entered into the war sjiirit with a firm determ- 
 ination to lay upon the altar of their country 
 their last sacrifice if nei-essar.v to crush into the 
 • lust the milit;iTy doctrines and ruthless practices 
 of the (o'rnian foe. Coming generations may cast 
 their eyes b:ickward upon the histoiy of I'arke 
 County during the conflict with a consciousness 
 i)f piride and .-idniiration for those who struggle.l 
 at a time whicdi tried men's souls as no orde.al 
 had ever teste 1 them before. 
 
 The school activities were not confineil alone 
 to any single dut.v which jiresented its(df. On the 
 L-ontrary every demand, whether made by the 
 Governuu'nt, the St.-ite or the County was met 
 with a lo.val response which added to the sum 
 total of that exerted by all other agencies in 
 heljiing win the war. 
 
 Storing of Seed Corn. 
 
 In the mouth of October. 11117. UKUnbers of 
 the Agriculture classes aided in gathering and 
 storing seed corn. A special corn day was ludd 
 and much information concerning tlu' corn pl:int 
 was presenteil by the children. JEuch corn was 
 tested to advantage. One tea<du'r and class of 
 pupils firoved that corn gathered early even in 
 the milk stage and carefully dried was superior 
 for seed than that left in the field until it be- 
 
 .■;um> frosterl. if not thoroughly rijie. The great- 
 'st lesult, how-evei- was the benefit derived, from 
 making a jiiojier selection of seed at the riglit 
 time. Hundreds of bushels of excellent seed corn 
 vas storcil for tlie spring pl.-inting. 
 
 Food Conservation. 
 
 The St.-ite h'ciod .\d m in ist i .itoi >t,-iteil th;it the 
 .^(diools secured more pledge c.-iids for the con- 
 servation of food than an\- other ;igenc,\'. the 
 tdiildren seeming to be specially fitteil for the 
 re<|nirements of such a camjiaign. The food i-on- 
 servation cards were given to the children .after 
 they had been taught the urgent need for saving 
 food: they not only took them home, for their 
 parents to sign, but distributed them to tlodr 
 neighbors who had no children in school tlieieb\- 
 securing the sign.-itnres of practically eviMV p:ir 
 -Mit in the County. 
 
 In Liberty townsliiji two t'ood clubs wi'ie or 
 ganized in one of which four hiiudn-d cprarts of 
 fruit were canned. 
 
 A Canning club was organized at M:irsliall 
 in the summer of I9\x that canned 1420 (ju.-irt^ 
 of fruit. The fcdioaing year l-lli." cjiiarts wen' 
 canned. 
 
 In I'enn townshiii the canning c-liib did .i 
 gre.at amount of work, iliss Edith Memlenhall 
 winning the short course at Purdue T'niversity. 
 
 Considerable and some very clever work was 
 done by the children of the grades in the Rock- 
 '."ille schocds on the Fooil Posters, which were 
 exhibited in a local store. 
 
 The girls of Raccoon townshiji formed can- 
 ning clubs and icnderecl valuable service in the 
 preservation of t'ood while thc^y learned tlii> art 
 i)f canning as wcdl. In the i-anning contest Miss 
 Helen Hartnian of the Bridgeton High school 
 won both the Counts- ami (State jirizes. with a 
 recorcl of i:(i2 c|n;irts of fruits and vegetables 
 which won her a triji to Washington. D. <_'. 
 
 Conservation was talked and taught in all 
 the schools Ijeginning with the saving of ii.ajier 
 and iiencils and the observing of the "war- 
 [ilate." 
 
 Fuel Conservation. 
 
 .lanuary .'lO, U>lx, was "Tag-Tour-Shovel Day."

 FAh'KK VOL yTY IS THE WOULD WAR 
 
 On this ilate tags giving instruetiou in the eco- 
 uoniieal use of eoal were tied by the children to 
 the coal shovels, thus remiudiug from day to day 
 that a saving of the fuel meant a greater supply 
 for the armies au.l fleets. Some of the children 
 ICi?lit count of the nrmber of buckets of coal 
 used auil tried to decrease this to the minimum 
 luring the remaimler of the winter. Many of the 
 ■ichools held a[i[iroi>riate programs on this .late. 
 Helping the Red Cross. 
 
 The Red Cross seemed to command the best, 
 the highest and noblest sacrifices of the teach- 
 ers and of the boys and girls. No matter what 
 the call the response was prompt anil gratify- 
 :ug. With that instinct akin to parenthooil which 
 all true teachers possess the desires and necessi- 
 "ies of the men who fought across the sea were 
 ■arefuU.v administered to by the loving hanih 
 )f those who worked at home, ever conscious of 
 the s;icrifice being made for their s;ike. 
 
 In the fall of Ii'17 practically every school 
 in the county contributed one or more comfort 
 kits, the total being 13-5. These were filleil with 
 man.v necessities and luxuries for the soldier 
 lioys. Many schools enclosed letters giving the 
 name of the school, the teacher's name and the 
 names of the pupils, many of these letters being 
 •inswered by the recipients in far-away lands. 
 
 All the teachers of Adams township contrib- 
 ute.! to the Red Cross, as well as the V. M. C. A. 
 the Y. \V. C. A. an.l the War Chest. They helpe.! 
 in sewing for the Reil Cross ami in making sur- 
 gical ilressings. The girls in the Domestic Science 
 vdasses of the White and Fisher schools hemmed 
 towels and han.lkerchiefs for the Re.! Cross. The 
 chil.lren of the latter school wrote compositions 
 :n their English work explaining the work of 
 the Reil Cross: these were rea.l at church in their 
 cicinity one night. They gave many reasons why 
 '.)eople shoul.l help the Re<l Cross. In 1917 the 
 chil.lren sol.l a large number of Re.! Cross Seals. 
 
 On .\pril t>. 191S, the pupils of Xo, S .listrict, 
 in Jackson township, gave an entertainment un.l- 
 er the auspices of the -\merican Red Cross. The 
 •irognim was enjoye.i by a large au.lience an.l 
 was closed by an address by Harol.l A. Hen.ler- 
 son of Rockville. This was followe.l by a box. 
 pie an.l ice cream social, the proceeds realize-l 
 iieiug fort.v-three .lollars. Three weeks later the 
 s;ime program was ren.lereil at North I'nion 
 ^•hurch. the proceeils being thirty-two .lollars, all 
 v>f which w:is contributed to the Re.1 Cross. 
 
 .A.t the Christmas season of liMT chil.lren of 
 the Mecca schools sold $14.Si worth of Red Cross 
 seals, the procee.ls of which were to be use.! in 
 the fight against tuberculosis. Miss Mary Lam- 
 bert, county chairman, ha.l askeil the eighth 
 -rra.le teacher to take charge of the Mecca s;iles 
 an.l the pupils of all gra.les soon became inter- 
 ested selling six times as manv seals as ha.l been 
 
 sol.l in Mecca during the previous year. In the 
 Red Cross .Irive of December, 1917, ami again in 
 191S every Wabash township teacher enrolled. 
 
 In Raccoon township, V>esi<les the making of 
 ^'omfort kits by each school there were other 
 kiu.ls of hand work .lone to aid in winning the 
 war. Among these were gun swipes, wash rags. 
 i>e>l socks, an.l cotton clippings with which to 
 stuff ambulance and comfort pillows. The stud- 
 ents in the Bri.lgeton schools brought the ma- 
 terial from home au.l .li.l the work .luring the in- 
 termissions on bail da.vs. Miss Mau.l Irwin's pu- 
 pils alone nia.le 1,300 gun swipes .luring the 
 school year 1917-191S. Much outing flannel was 
 .lonate.l to the Re. I Cross by the pupils for use 
 in making more gun swipes. The high school boys 
 ren.lere.l valuable service in using their autouic- 
 biles ami V>uggies in hauling Red Cross supplies 
 to and from the various units. All of the articles 
 nui'le by the stu.lents were carried away by the 
 high school boys. Raccoon township schools sold 
 the greatest number of 1917 Reil Cross Christ- 
 mas seals of any township in the county. The 
 interrae.liate grades of the Bri.lgeton school rank- 
 e.l first in the stile of the seals. The proceetls 
 were use.l b.v the Re.1 Cross in placing specialists 
 in tuberculosis in each cantonment an.l to give 
 special examinations for the disease to all soLl- 
 iers. The goo.l work .lone by these schools iu the 
 s:ile of Re.l Cross seals won honorable mention 
 in the Xational Re.l Cross report. 
 
 Besi.les the making of useful articles for the 
 Reti Cross the schools of Raccoon township gave 
 not a little money to the Reil Cross an.l other 
 war benevolences. The most noteworthy contri- 
 'jutious were those ma.le by the Bell school an.l 
 the high school at Bri.lgeton. The Bell school, 
 with Miss Margaret Hartman as teacher, gave a 
 supper with the express purpose of raising mon- 
 ey for w:ir benevolences. Several .lollars were 
 eleare.l iu this manner. Bri.lgeton high school 
 gave the entire procee»ls of the secon.l perform- 
 ince of the annual class play of 191S to the Re.1 
 Cross. 
 
 In Washington township all the teachers 
 helped in Re.l Cross work untiringly, sewing au.l 
 knitting an.l answering to the various calls. Each 
 school made one or more comfort kits. The school 
 girls knit squares of wool yarn for four be<l-size 
 comforts ami hemmed dozens of han.lkerchiefs 
 for hosjiital use. 
 
 The schools of Greene. Sugar Creek. Howar.l 
 au.l Penu townships sol.l hun.lreils of Red Cross 
 seals an.l contribute.! several comfort kits. 
 
 The war work of the Florida township schools 
 •legtin with the call of the Re»l Cross an.l all 
 pupils engage<t in some form of work either in 
 knitting, sewing, etc. In the Rosedale schools 
 many of the pupils joine<l the Red Cross an.l all 
 of the grades as well as the high school ma.le

 Stamps ana *;!000.00 in Liberty Bonds. During 
 tlio war tlie peojile of Washiugtou towiishiii real- 
 ized that our country was passing through a 
 period that lifted her to a new ideal of service. 
 It was a time when all loyal citizens acknowl- 
 edged that their lives auil their possessions were 
 at the coniniand of the government. With this 
 idea in mind the citizens, teachers and pupils of 
 the township made heavy investments in the 
 (iovernment securities. It was a pleasure for the 
 teachers anil pupils to lend their influence and 
 support to this great thrift movement. 
 
 In the Rockville schools prior to May 1, lills. 
 some $o!12(i.(;4 worth of War Savings Stamps and 
 Libert.v lionils had been purchased. After this 
 date purchases were maile but no recoril kejit. 
 The record by grades follows: First. .'?:i2.")..")0 ; Sec- 
 on.l. .$,52s.ti4: Third. .$:!42..50: Fourth. .$.5:;4.J."i ; 
 Fifth, $L'.").7.3: Sixth. .$91(1.00; Seventh ami F.ighth, 
 $66:;.25: High School. $2418.7.1; Colored. $100.00. 
 
 The thrift pamphlets sent to the teachers 
 of .lackson towushiji were used as a basis for 
 lectures to ailvance the thrift movement among 
 the ]iupils. They were urged to save and bu.v 
 Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates. 
 Then when the W. S. S. drive was furthereil in 
 the spring of 1918 the value of the teachers' 
 thrift work was realized. 
 
 In Ad;ims townshiii several of the teachers 
 bought Liberty bonds and all of them purchaseil 
 War Savings Stamps, The teachers gave thrift 
 talks and read stories about thrift, which result- 
 ed in the purchase of War Savings Stamps and 
 Thrift Stamjis by tlie chihlren. 
 
 About seventy per cent of the pupils in the 
 Annapolis School in I'enn township purchased 
 War Savings Stamjis anil Thrift Stamps. The 
 thrift idea was a prominent one throughout the 
 period of the war and man.v nickels and dimes 
 were used for purchasing more useful things than 
 chewing gum and candy. War Savings Stamps 
 nere explained by the teachers in the Blooming- 
 dale schools thus awakening the interest of the 
 patrons as well as the children. The War Service 
 Text Book was taught in the high school. Every 
 teacher in Penn township was early an owner of 
 War Savings Stamps and Libert.v bonds and 
 considered it a sacred oliligation to save and in- 
 vest in these Government securities. The teaching 
 of thrift should become a permanent part of the 
 lut.v of the schools. 
 
 The school children of Reserve township 
 sold $:!00.00 worth of War Savings Stamps. At 
 nil times the teachers and pupils of this town- 
 ship showed a real interest in the progress of 
 the war and were alwa.vs read.v and eager to do 
 their part.

 Tn resjjonse to a call made b.v President Wil- 
 
 son, and after a conference with the local board, 
 .he following letter was mailed from the Count.v 
 Suiierintendent's office to the teachers of Parke 
 ' 'ounty. in .lannary, 1918:

 that every Townsliii) lind its persisteut slaekers. 
 who rot'useil to sign any kind of pledge card, wlio 
 refused to disjjlay a Food Card, a Red Cross 
 emblem, or oven the Stars and Stripes in their 
 nindows or about their homes. The lo.val crusad- 
 ers, however, persisted in their work with the 
 result that noarl.v 2.500 signed jdedge cards were 
 sent directl.v to the Food Administration office in 
 tnilianapolis through this County organization. 
 ■T'ome, through misunderstanding, were sent di- 
 rectl.v to Washington and a number were sent 
 through the schools of the Count.v, hence it is 
 iiniiossible to give the sum total. 
 
 This i)ersistent work of the Federal Food 
 Ailministration in forcing the attention of the 
 ]>eople to world conditions, and incessant iteration 
 to the women that they were responsible, that 
 upon twenty million kitchens of America were 
 laid the duty and the responsibility of saving the 
 norld from starvation, had a wonilerful awaken- 
 ing power, so much so that when the Indiana 
 Division of Federal Food Administration intro- 
 luceil a new and unique plan. i. e.. the organiza- 
 tion of United States Food Clubs, Parke County 
 women were read.v for the work. These clubs 
 enabled the Tniteil States Food Administration 
 to show more clearly the vital relationship be- 
 tween food and victory. It enabled the wonien 
 to unify their work through co-operation, for by 
 this time we had all begun to realize that it woulil 
 take "The everlastin' team work of ever bloomin' 
 soul." 
 
 Nothing but a sense of the dire need of the 
 world, that we in America must do more gave 
 courage to start on this r^ew crusade of organiz- 
 ing women, already seemingly overwhelmed with 
 war work, into Food Club batallions for fighting 
 the battle against world starvation. The work 
 of organizing these chilis liegan in March. 191s. 
 riy the appointment of a t'ounty Food Club Presi- 
 dent, who in turn named tlie Township Presi- 
 dents. The County President, the Township 
 Presidents and each Clul) President received from 
 the Food Administration a certifieate showing 
 them to be legall.v authorized to act in their 
 specified capacities. Each cluli was also given 
 a Charter. 
 
 Townshiii Prcsiilents were a]ipointed as fol- 
 lows: 
 
 .\dams — Miss Gertrmle Cliesser. 
 Florida — ilrs. lA>onidas Overpeck. 
 (ireene — Miss Hazel Livengood. 
 Howard--Mrs. Fred Myers. 
 Jackson — Mrs. Daulton Martin. 
 Libert.v — iliss .Tuanita Lindley. Mrs. Scott Marks. 
 Peiin — Mrs. I.ouis II. Teague. 
 Raccoon— Mrs. Jacob Bell. Mrs. J. T. Witty. 
 Reserve — Miss Marie MeCord, Mrs. Ealph Johns- 
 ton. 
 Stigar Creek — Mrs. W. H. Harrison. Miss Irene 
 McCormiek. 
 
 Cnion — Mi.ss Lona Kinse.v. 
 \VaV)ash — Miss Stella Youmans. 
 Washington — Mrs. Charles Jessup. 
 
 These Township Presidents were selected with 
 the aid of the I'resident of the County War Moth- 
 ers, and most of them were mothers, wives or 
 sisters of men in the service. 
 
 After a time some of the Township Presi- 
 dents were compelled to resign for good reasons. 
 (The second name in the list indicates those who 
 took up the work. These women did just as noble, 
 unselfish service as their predecessors, and the 
 iame honor anil gratitude is due to all.

 of the Count.v President, organized the following

 lIuUs assisteil in Liborty Loan .Irives. Thrift an.l 
 War Saving campaigns : in fact the Fooil Clubs 
 n-ere vitally active in helping to wia the war. 
 
 Rofkville t'lub No. 2, composeil of the col- 
 ored women of the County, deserves special men- 
 tion from the fact that in aildition to doing good 
 work in production, conservation and substitu- 
 tion, had the distinction of being able to re|iort 
 that every woman and girl over sixteen of their 
 race had signed a Food Pledge Card and were 
 read.v to help to their utmost in ever.v way. It 
 wouM be inter.sting to know if ai-.v other County 
 in the State could report a like condition or if any 
 County could report that all the white women 
 «nd girls had pledged themselves to the work. 
 Special mention should be made of Miss Marian 
 McMillin, Home Demonstration Agent, This op- 
 portunity is taken to express appreciation for her 
 hearty and untiring co-operation with the Food 
 Clubs in their work. 
 
 Acknowledgement should be niaile to many 
 of the Rockvillo citizens for their unseltish jia- 
 triotism in furnishing automobiles to convey the 
 Count.v Food Club President and assistants to 
 apiiointments throughout the Count.v. Of the 
 more than sixty appointments tilled by the Count.v 
 President, but three had to be jjaid for out of 
 the Count.v expense fund. After the organiza 
 tion of the Motor (\)rps all trips were taken care 
 of by this sjdendiil organization. 
 
 .\lso much of the success of the Food Club^ 
 is due to the press of the Count.v. This work 
 jvas so urgent that every means had to be used 
 to impress it upon the people. No other wa.v of 
 advertising is so efifective as through the me.l 
 ium of the newspaper. Every paper in the Coun- 
 t.v responded generously ami quickly to our ap- 
 peal. Prominent positions in the papers were 
 given over to this work without any compens;ition 
 whatever. And last, but not least, we express 
 our appreciation of the telephone operatives. 
 These girls, by their uniform patience and cour- 
 tesy made the task of much using of the tele- 
 phone less irksome than it would otherwise have 
 been. We increased their always strenuous work 
 man.v fold, but they took this as their ]iart in 
 hel|iing the cause and did it nobly. 
 
 Most of the Townships had one or two joint 
 meetings and we had one Count.v Rally Day. 
 
 Friday, August 9. 1018. of the Rockville Cha>i- 
 tauqua was Food Club Da.v. The Count.v and 
 Townshiji Presidents were abl.r assisted in their 
 preparations b.v the Food section of the Rock- 
 ville Department Club. Special credit is due *■ 
 Mrs. J. C. Buchanan, Mrs. "\V. J. Peare, Mrs. E. 
 P. Beadle. Mrs. Fred Testing. Mrs. S. H. Chesser 
 nml Miss .\da Xowling, who prepared beautiful 
 liadges bearing the motto: "We Also Serve." The.v 
 liail charge of Food Club Headquarters on the 
 grounds, distributed the Iwdges and assisted in 
 
 everv wa.v possible. Miss Eleanor Barker of the 
 Federal Food Administration Speakers' Bureau, 
 gave a splendid stirring appeal — her subject, 
 "Bread Line and Battle Line." This was one of the 
 great speeches of the war which we as a Count.v 
 were permitted to hear. This da.v and this wond- 
 erful ai>peal to our sense of right and justice as 
 well to pit.v and charit.v ver.r greatl.v helped the 
 work of the Food Clubs. Had the Spanish influ- 
 enza not struck our County with such cruel force 
 that all public meetings had to be abandoned for 
 weeks, this special phase of war activiit.v would 
 have had a ilifferent ending. Before the County 
 had recovered from this scourge the armistice 
 r.as signed, and while this did not lessen the 
 leuuind for food in the devastated countries, the 
 natural slump followed, and while the work of 
 saving and substitution continued to be carried 
 on in the homes as vigorously as during actual 
 hostilities, there were few public meetings hebl. 
 Finall.v the notice came from Dr. H. E. Barnard, 
 Feileral Food .\dniinistrator for Indiana, that 
 the work of the Food Clubs might come to a 
 ilose, with the hope that these clubs might merge 
 into Home Economic Clnbs. A final meeting of 
 Township and Club Presidents was held in the 
 home of the County President and the work 
 Iironght to an orderly conclusion with the coming 
 of what we hope may be lasting peace. 
 
 The Count.v President is asked to express the 
 heartiest ajipreciation of the State and Federal 
 Food .-\dministration for the splendid spirit of 
 co-operation shown by the Food Clubs of Parke 
 Count.v. They emphasize this because it was 
 easier to be a food slacker than any other kind 
 of war .slacker, because food is handled in the 
 privac.v of the home; for the same reason, there- 
 fore, a food patriot is the truest type of patriot. 
 One might have bought Libert.v Bonds or War 
 iSavings Stamps for the sake of appearance or be- 
 cause the.v were good investments. But those 
 n-ho voluntarily observed food rules did so be- 
 cause the.v were loyal United States citizens. The 
 women of Parke County are an asset to Uncle 
 iNini, and not a liability.

PARKE COUNTY FARMERS DURING 
 THE WORLD WAR 
 
 Aiiiiici-i/ri'ijAL WAi; in^<T()i;v committee. 
 
 fAKKE COl'XTV is ppculiar in that its en- 
 tire iiiilustiy is :ii" I'ifultuie. We have one 
 (11 t\V(i small clay plants and several small 
 ccial mines, hut these aie only Icjcal affairs ami 
 praetu'ally their entire output is eonsiinieil with- 
 in the bounilaries ot the County. 
 
 Thei'e are wry tew towns, anil the largest 
 one ot these, Hockville, the County Seat, contains 
 less than two tlious;uhl ii.hahit.-ints. Tt is locateil 
 in the KfOKi'iirhieal ecntei of I'arke County, anil 
 I'arke ('oui]t\- lies in the south central, extreme 
 western eilge ot Indiana. The inhabitants o 
 these towns have the aKricultuial interest of the 
 Count.\- at stake. There is hardly a banker who 
 doi's not own farm land. I'raidically ever.y law- 
 ver is interesti-d in some taini tlnoughout the 
 Count.v. .\nil so on tliroufjhout jiractically all 
 the business houses and lodfessions. 
 
 The acreage of the ( 'ounty consists of ver.v 
 good farminy land, wliiili is orcasionall.v broken 
 li.v rough hill and tindier land which is ide.-il tor 
 grazing jiurposes. 
 
 hi April. 1III7. .iiist aftei' the declaration of 
 war on (lermany by the I'nited States, in re- 
 sponse to a pi otd.-im.'itiiin issued b.v Govei'nor 
 tTOodri(di of Iiidi;iiia. tlie faiiners of I'arke Coun- 
 t.v met at the County Seat and nnanimously 
 [iledged themsid\es to do ever.vthing in their 
 power to support tlie Covernment of the United 
 States under w.ar conditions. To ilo everything 
 in their |ioucr to pmduce foodstuffs, and to ilo 
 ever.vthing in thi'ir powi'r to uuike I'aike County 
 one hunilred ]ier cent .\inerican. 
 
 The first test of their resolutions came when 
 the Government offeicd the first issue of Lib 
 erty Honils. This issue was introduced without 
 aii.\' educational campaign or ]ii'evions inforina 
 ti(.)n of an\' kind. The farmer, lieing a producer 
 rather than linan< ier, did i\ot take to these bonds 
 readil.v, and almost bcd'ore he knew it the Coun- 
 t.v quota hail been taken u)i by bankers are! re- 
 tired men with surplus cajiital. However, with 
 the succeeding issues, wdii(di were preceded 
 with educational camjiaigns, the I'arke Count.v 
 fanner fnll.v met his obligations. And in no 
 case in anv of the issues of Libertv Bonds or War 
 
 iitamjis did I'arke Count.v fall below its quota. 
 Hut in :ill i-ases the issues were over-subscribed, 
 and this in er suliscription was lironght about 
 without undue effoit on the part of the ediK-a- 
 tors, managers and leaders of the Gosernment 
 Loan ijriM'. 
 
 l)uriiig the summer of Utl7 a cani])aign was 
 |iut on in the Count.v to induce the farmers of 
 the Count.N- to grow as much wheat as tlie.v pos- 
 sibly could. Very little iudueenient was neces- 
 sar.v. .Vftei' explaining the critical condition ol' 
 Knro|ie and the absence of the usual sur|d\is 
 of breadstuffs in this countr.v, the farmer was 
 au.xious to know ways and means whereb.v he 
 could make nji tlie world deficit of wheat. 
 This question was largely handled b.v increasing 
 the acreage and the use of commercial fertilizer. 
 .\nd when statistics were taken at the end of 
 the .vear it was f'luind that Parke C'ount.y had 
 increased its wheat iiroduction over seventeen 
 per cent, and Inid done this in a season when it 
 was almost iinjiossible to sow wheat in coin, a 
 practice which is widel.v used in I'arke Coiiiit.\-. 
 
 l>niiiig the summer of 1917 a committee was 
 ai>]>ointt'd to work in connection with the (iii\* 
 eminent lood .\diiiinistration, and had full 
 power to jdace a reasor-able jirice on the farmers' 
 wheat. Before this jirice lixiug committee took 
 ■iction the farmers were receiving .$2..'i0 a bushel 
 for the best wheat in the Count.v. Tliis iiricr 
 lixing committee jdaced tlie jirice of wheat so 
 that locall.x- the highest we received was $2.1(1 
 |ier bushel, .\nyone questioning the lo.valt.v of 
 the farmer during the war has but to note the 
 result of this price fixing committee, and the 
 increased acreage of wheat to find where the 
 farmer stood. 
 
 About this time the draft was introduced 
 and conscription placed on tlie farmer. This 
 caused heav.v losses to the farmer by taking awa.v 
 labor which he needed to harvest his crops. How- 
 ever, there was a cause at stake and the farmer 
 gladl.v gave up his sons and his hired men, and 
 went into the field with his wife and daughters 
 and harvested his crops. If the farm bo.vs of 
 I'arke County hail been given exemiition on agri

ORGANIZATION OF THE FOUR 
 MINUTE MEN 
 
 JOHX A. LIXKBAKGKR. 
 
 IIKX Coiiyii'ss .ItH-laii'.l tliat the time liu.l 
 i-.UDe for till' I'liited States to tlirow her 
 iiii!;hty fiiree into the war that hail en- 
 gnlt'e.l a large part of the eivilized worhl, it iin 
 ilertook a task, the magnitude of which can hardly 
 he apiireeiated. Tlie task called an army nuni- 
 l>ering into tlie millions, a navy un])aralleled in 
 our history, money without stint, au<l sacrifice 
 to the limit. 
 
 It is one thing for Congress to declare war 
 and (jnite another thing to enlist the heart.v sup- 
 port of all the people of a Xation. The ])eoi)le of 
 a democracy must know about the movement, the 
 cause, the attendant circumstances, the needs, 
 etc., that they may not blindly support the jioj 
 icy of the Governmeut. iSo America needed to 
 know tlioroughly the enemy, the cause of the war 
 the reasons for our entrance into it, the various 
 ways in whicli all might share the burden, and 
 the plans of those who were directing America. 
 Questions dealing with Conscription, Finance, 
 Welfare Movements, Thrift, Enem.v Propaganda, 
 in fact all important jircdjlems relating to the 
 war must be explained to the hundred million 
 American citizens that their sujiport might be 
 intelligently aroused. The tlovernment. recogniz 
 ing tliis and knowing full well the greatness oi 
 the task of enliglitening the people and creating 
 enthusiasm, eniplo.ved various agencies for get- 
 ting to each indiviilual the necessary information. 
 
 It was known that we had millions of citizens 
 who were illiterate, ami other millions who could 
 not be reached through the press. The Govern- 
 ment conceived tlie idea of taking advantage of 
 all public gatherings and giving to those as- 
 sembled a brief message. Theatres and motion 
 picture shows were to be the chief places through 
 which the Government hoped to reach at least 
 twenty millions of our people each week. There 
 was estaldished the Committee of Public Infor- 
 mation, coniposect of the Secretary of State. Sec- 
 letary of War, Secretary of Navy, and George 
 Creel, Chairman. This committee prepared in- 
 formation and sent it out regularl.v to the reading 
 imblic, and sxiecial messages to be delivered ti- 
 the people through an organization created by it 
 
 and known as "Four Minute ilen.'' The idea was 
 for these men to ask for four minutes' time dur- 
 ing the meeting that the Government's message 
 might be delivered. The charge given these Four 
 Minute Men by I'resident Wilson was 
 
 "I'lum you. Four Minute Men who are charged 
 with a special iluty and enjo.v a special privilege 
 in the command of your audience, will rest in ,i 
 considerable degree the task of arousing and in- 
 forming the great bod.v of our peoi)le. My best 
 wishes and continuing interest are with ,vou in 
 yoiir work as a ])art of the reserve officers' corps 
 in a Xation thrice armed because through your 
 efl'orts it knows better the justice of the cause 
 and the value of what it defends." 
 
 .lohn S. McFaddin was asked by tlie Parke 
 County Council of Defense to undertake this 
 work for Parke County. Upon call of Mr. Mc- 
 Faildin a number of citizens of the Count.v Seat 
 met duly 17, li>17, and talked over the plan. It 
 was ilecided that Parke County was not so much 
 in need of regular Four ilinute Men. but that 
 better service would be rendered by organizing 
 ami operating what might be called a Speakers' 
 Bureau. In other wonls. it was believed that the 
 citizens of Parke County could best be reached 
 through a modification of the plan suggested by 
 the Conimittce on Public Information. Mr. Mc- 
 Faddin had full charge of the Bureau from the 
 time it was organized until he was chosen Chair- 
 m;in of the Parke County Council of Defense, 
 .lohn A. l.inebarger was then selected by the 
 <'ouncil to take charge of the Bureau. 
 
 The first effort was with the picture shows, 
 anil although the owners very generously gave 
 the time asked and the messages were well given, 
 this phase of the work was soon dhscontinued. 
 During the summer of 1917 a ten-niinnte speech 
 was delivered to the people in attendance at the 
 reguhir weekly band concerts in Rockville. .\ 
 ten-minute speech was given at each Chautauqua 
 session at which the entire program was musical. 
 The people of the County were so thoronghl.v in 
 sympathy with the plan pursued that it came to 
 be taken for granted that any public gathering 
 furnished a ver.y iiroper crowd for receiving the 
 message of the Government. Accordingly, not

 We feel that mention should be made of the

FOURTEEN MINUTE WOMEN AND 
 WHAT THEY DID 
 
 MUS. i;rF|-S DOOLKY, 
 
 ^rr 1110 v:i lions war demamls called forth every 
 L'l Int (if talent — latent and aetive — of the wo- 
 iiii'u of the Oo\inty. Women, who before 
 this testinfj time, thought they could not knit oi' 
 sew or cnt out garments or cultivate a war garden, 
 soon became experts in all of these. Hence, when 
 tlie ( 'oiii.ty ( oiincil of Defense, through their Secre- 
 tary, ills, -Mar.v Leatherniaii, ajipointeil a group 
 of Fourteen Minute Women who were to holil 
 themselves in readiness to go when and where 
 the.v ivere called, the resjionse was unanimous. 
 Self was lost sight of in the great task Ix-fori' 
 the world. Tlu- list of Fourteen Miiuiti' Wonicn 
 is as follows: 
 
 Mrs. liufus DooU'y. ( 'liai i iii.in ; .Miss Margaret 
 Kirkpatrick, Mrs. T. 11, ("atliu, Miss Marian Mc- 
 Millin. Mrs. I. K. St rouse, Mrs. A. H. Stark, Mrs. 
 F. L. Sherrill, Mrs R, £, Moore and Mrs F. \V. 
 Leathernuui. Kockville; Mrs. A. 0. Benson, Briilge- 
 ton: Mrs. H. B Butler, Marshall: Mrs. W. 1). 
 Ad.unis, Hosedale, and Mrs. Belle W. Kphlin, Tan- 
 gier. 
 
 Their work was not alone to ni:ike sjieeches, 
 
 but to assist in stimulating and organizing war 
 activities in every wa.v possible. In Food Club, 
 ('alining Club, Cliild Welfare Unit — any organiza- 
 tion of any kind connected with the jiroseeution 
 of tlie war liad onl.v to appeal to the chairman 
 .■iiid licl]i was sent if possible. The motto: "If 1 
 can't put the 'i' in light, I can put the 'pa.v' in 
 |iatiiotisiii and the 'si'rve' in conservation." Other 
 organiz.-itions liad the same slogan, which was 
 a]ipealing and effective. So far as the writer can 
 learn not one of these women refused an.y duty 
 assignee I her when it was possible to compl.y. 
 
 Not always, as was said by public speakers, 
 luan.v actions are more eloquent than words, and 
 often b.v their silent and jjersistent industry and 
 unfaltering devotion to the flag and to the jirin- 
 (djdes it stood for made their influence felt in the 
 highest degree. In Thrift Stamp, War Saving 
 Stamp and Libert.y Loan drives, in Child Welfare 
 work, in Red Cross and Surgical Dressing, in 
 Food Club ]irograms and in War Chest drives 
 these women were indefatigable and added their 
 roiitribution to the great task before the whole 
 .\inerican ]ieople — winning the war.

X'lCTORY AT LAST-ARMISTICE DAY 
 AND ITS OBSER\ANCE 
 
 MRs^. EPMIXO PARKE BEADLE 
 
 •v^dK more tliau fit'ty yoais after the close of 
 Ij] tlie Aiiiorieaii Hevohitiou. "Evaeuation Day" 
 was celel>rate>l in the City of Xew York. 
 It eomnieiiiorateil the .lay when the British Army, 
 which hail liel.l the city for seven years. Iioariied 
 its Heets ami sailetl away, and Washington rode 
 at the lii-aii of the triumphant army, through the 
 lensth aii'l breadth of its jirincipal streets. Al- 
 tlioujrh there were man.v events in the Revolu- 
 tionary war of much more importance, this 
 marked the close of that long and weary struggle. 
 Hundreds of battles in the late war and many 
 da.vs were of greater importance — some of them 
 great victories — like the Ma rue. but none of them 
 stand out so conspicuousl.v as "Armistice Da.v." 
 celebrated in every city and hamlet in the Allied 
 WorUl. 
 
 It was .") o'clock Monday nuirning, November 
 11, li'lS, when the glad tidings reached Kockville 
 that Germany had signed the armistice submitted 
 to her by General Foch for the Allies, and then 
 began the celebration wliich lasteil nntil late in 
 the night. 
 
 People were awakened by the ringing of the 
 church bells and the blowing of the whistles, and 
 within a short time large numbers were to be 
 found ui>on the streets, both men, women and 
 children taking part in the .ioyous hilarit.v. 
 Blacksmith anvils were carried from the shops, 
 power procured, and what resembled in noise an 
 Allied bombarilment was kept up all da.v. When 
 the retail establishments were opened there was 
 a run on them for noise-making contrivances, 
 and when the suppl.v was exhausted, tin cans, 
 pans and old lioilers were used to assist in the 
 clamor which brought out the spirit of the da.v. 
 Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sweethearts, 
 and in fact everyone, although the.v bad no near 
 one in the Great World War, were one in sjiirit 
 and thought on this great da.v, for the terrilde 
 trials, fear and anxiet.v which had been on their 
 minds for so many months were relieved at last. 
 The business and professional men took it 
 m>ou themselves to call a county celebration 
 organii^ation meeting in the ofhces of Maxwell & 
 
 McFaddiu at > o'clock, tiud at this hour in the 
 morning men in all walks of life were present 
 to offer their services in whatever manner might 
 be assigned them, and plans were perfected for 
 a couut.v celebration to begin at i o'clock. A tele- 
 phone committee was named and before the pre- 
 liminary meeting was half over, these men were 
 at work notifying men and women in every cor- 
 ner of the county to come to the Couut.v Seat 
 and take jiart in the history-inakiug event. 
 Farmers, although bus.v in the cornfields, dispelled 
 work from their minds and came to Kockville: 
 the business men locked their doors at noon and 
 work was generall.v suspended. Schools were 
 .lismissed and the students organized themselves, 
 forming a parade heailed with a large American 
 llag and the High School service dag. blowing 
 liorns, giving yells, ringing bells and making 
 known their jo.v in every conceivable manner. 
 I'ircular sjiws from the saw mills were mounted 
 on wagons and juilging from the tremendous and 
 deafening noises, caused from pounding with 
 liammers anil gas pipes, Parke County can boast 
 of a community not only of patriotism, Init also 
 of a ]>ronounced Hercules tyiie. 
 
 .\lthough hurriedly arranged the afternoon 
 i-elebration was one that will be remembered by 
 :ill for years, and handed down from generation 
 to generation as one of the greatest and happiest 
 events in the history of Parke Count.r. One can 
 look in the distance and see vividly little chil- 
 dren of toda.v telling their children's children the 
 story of the festivities. 
 
 After the organization of committees each 
 unit at once took in hand its work, a band was 
 organized under the leadership of H. M. Rice, and 
 in every instance details were satisfactorily and 
 capably arranged. Following were the commit- 
 tees appointed:

 The Count.v Council appropriate<l a sufficient 
 sum of nu)ney to carry out the plan of celebration 
 on a fitting scale. Beechwooil Park was chosen 
 in which to hoM the celebration. 
 
 IVtober the iHh. l!tlS>. will live in the memory 
 of Parke County people. Of her population of 
 twent.vthree thous;in<l. 1.0.57 hail been called to 
 follow the liag into the Great World War. Of 
 these thirt.v-three g;ive their lives for the cau.se 
 of .justice. On this da.v the people assembled to 
 honor their dead heroes and welcome home the 
 living ones. 
 
 In the early morning hours it rained and 
 there was a drop in the temiierature that at 
 Krst threatened some changes in the plans of the 
 da.v. but the skies cleared, and by 10 o'clock the 
 peoi>le began pouring into town from all direc- 
 tions. Thousands lined the downtown streets in 
 the path of the parade, while others drove direct 
 
 to Beechwood Park to pre]>are for the formal 
 welcome home. 
 
 While the many sections of the parade were 
 forming under the direction of their leaders, 
 read.v to fall into line at the given signals from 
 the marshal of the da.v. Captain J. R. Bloomer, 
 anil his mounted aides. R. E. Moore and George 
 Scott, the band gave a concert ou the square. 
 The line of nuuch was to begin at the southwest 
 corner of the public square, around the square, 
 lowu Ohio to College street, and to Beechwood 
 Park. 
 
 At precisely 10:;!0 the parade began moving. 
 It was a stately procession anil an impressive re- 
 minder of our varied experiences during the two 
 years just past. At the head rode Captain .1. R. 
 Bloomer, followed by the Rockville band of fort.v 
 pieces, led l)y Major H. M R.iee. As the familiar 
 strains of the martial air reached the waiting 
 throng, silence fell ou the crowd, and iustantl.v 
 over the faces of many men and women spread 
 the familiar look of expectanc.v. of ilread. of de- 
 termination, that marked them through those 
 da.vs and nights of dreadful uncertainties while 
 our country was at war. and while our boys were 
 awa.v. and now called l«.v the band of musicians 
 who stirred them to working, to giving, to sac- 
 rificing, while our bo.vs were in camp, and on 
 liattlefield. drilling, fighting, killing, dying. Sud- 
 denly this was changed to countenances beaming 
 and happ.v. as a sudden assurance of a hope, a 
 realization of peace come again to the world, 
 when the Libert.v lloat. symbol of America, hope 
 of the world, came moving majestically into 
 view. The statue of Libert.v Enlightening the 
 World was impersonated by Jessie Brown Pierce. 
 wife of Clay I'ierce of Florida Township. 
 
 "And who are those big strapping fellows 
 following after? Who are they? Not our boys 
 from Parke? Wh.v these are men! Well. God 
 bless them, and the fathers and mothers who 
 bore them I" were some of the many comments 
 on the curb as our World War Heroes, khaki clad, 
 high-headed, straight-shouldered, every movement

 P. Prentice gave the invoeation an.l Lee Smith 
 soun.le.1 "taj^s." Then the little girls marche^i 
 slowly forward, two by two. and plaee-i their 
 white roses in a large basket of red roses, show- 
 ing a mingling of the re-1 and white. Then all 
 withdrew slowly from the stage. It was a mo,-"- 
 toufhing. beautiful and impressive ceremony. 
 
 An intermission of a few moments loUowevl 
 and then the Koekville l>and gave a splendid 
 selection. iOlIowe<l by the quartet singing "The 
 World's .Jubilee." William Ott nest sang a solo. 
 "When the Last Reveille is Sounde.1." Perry Rush, 
 singing "Victory Bells." closerl the fine musical 
 program. Mr. Montgomery in a few well chosen 
 words, introduced Howard Maxwell, who gave a 
 most masterly and fitting welcome address. 
 
 Mr. Maxwell spoke brietiy of the honor of 
 l>eing aske-l to make the a<ldress of welcome to 
 the soldiers of Parke County. In i>art he had 
 this to s;iy : 
 
 "This is Parke Countj-'s day of gre-at glad- 
 ness, of excetviiug joy. of profound gnilitude. of 
 genuine thanksgiving, and as we meet here in 
 this delightful grove, with the liag over us in 
 peace, safety and securitj-. our min.is natunill.v 
 revert to the da.vs but a little more than a year 
 agone. The past does not rise before us like a 
 dream, but is as vivid and as real as the acnial 
 present. 1 wish I could give you men who were 
 away in the camps or over seas, some concep- 
 tion of our condition here at home during those 
 dark an^l gloomy hours — of our anxieties, our 
 hopes, our fetirs. or r-ather our apprehensions. 
 Xot that we doubte>i for a moment your courage. 
 Xo. we only i>raye>l that you might be given^ 
 opi>orTunii.v. It is evening and the daily paper 
 has come, the light is lit. and the mother is read- 
 ing alouvl the war news, stumbling along over 
 those peculiar French names, while the father 
 has out his w:ir map. a map he has studieti until 
 he knows it l>etter than the map of his Town- 
 ship, and he is pricking with pins on that old 
 war map the lines of battle — that line, which wav- 
 ering here and bending there, under the stress 
 of mighty battles, is constantly receding west- 
 w;ird. until it seems it must be inevitably pushe.1 
 into the sea. We learn that your supreme com- 
 mander, that master of strategy. Marshal Foeh, 
 with wise patience declares he is not yet ready 
 for an attack, and in our patience we wonder if 
 he ever will be ready. We are in gloom and 
 ioubt. full of apprehension and foreboding: al- 
 most in despair. Suddenly there comes flashing 
 over the wires the news that the German attack 
 has l>een stoppetl: that the Americans are in the 
 
 battle line, that they have stopped that westwaril 
 tide and are in full pursuit of the enemy, an.l 
 that M;jrshal Foch. animated into action, con- 
 vince-l by the glory of your achievement at Cha- 
 teau Thierry has given the word, 'Advance!" an 
 advance, thank God. which was to end only when 
 a proud and insolent enemy threw up his hands 
 in pusillanimous surrender. Xo. those days can 
 never be forgotten. 
 
 "Parke County's list of casualties is the great- 
 est of any County of Like population in Indiana, 
 the list being thirty-three. Fifteen dietl in battle. 
 In the neighborhood of Minshall ten were calle<l 
 to the front. Six are home again, and four lie 
 sleeping utder foreign skies. So you see Parke 
 County's honor was safe in your keeping. 
 
 "I sjiv in the beginning that this was a day 
 of jo.v. but it is not a time of mirth. We miss 
 here today the faces and forms of your com- 
 nides, of whom it is the simple truth to say that 
 by their supreme sacrifice they have made this 
 celebration wssible. Our hearts beat in symjiathy 
 with their jarents and kindre.1, and we me:isurdb- 
 ly 3pprevi:ite the solemn pride that must be 
 theirs to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the 
 altar of f ree.lom ! 
 
 "The law of compensation is inflexible. We 
 know that we are better and broader and bigger 
 Americans than we were two years ago — holding 
 more priceless than ever our institutions and 
 cherishing more fondly than ever our form of 
 government. The dag means more to us than ever 
 before, and as we look at it we see written on its 
 folds Lexington, and Concord, and Bunker Hill, 
 and Valley Forge, and Torktown. and Gettys- 
 burg, an.l Antietam. and Appomattox, and Man- 
 ila Ri.v and Santiago: ai-d now. inscribe^l there 
 by your valor, are Chateau Thierry, and St. Mihiei. 
 and the Argonne and there they will remain for- 
 ever. 
 
 "And now, speaking for every man, woman 
 and child, for all those who had not the oppor- 
 tunity of military service, I voice their full an>l 
 • ieep appreciation of your honorable service in 
 their behalf- Let the flags wave, the cannons 
 thunder, the trumpets soun.l. the bugles blow. 
 Let music swell the breeze. Let songs of victory 
 l>e sung. This is the day of jubilee, and Parke 
 Countj". with grateful heart and outstretche.1 
 arms, welcomes home all her valiant sons." 
 
 From ."5 o'clock to -5. and from 7 to 9:30 
 P. M_ vaudeville attractions under the manage- 
 ment of Theodore F. Gaebler entertained young 
 and old alike, acrobatic, slack wire, rolling globe, 
 horizontal bar performers and traine.1 dogs, gave 
 splendid exhibition of skill and marke.1 the close 
 oi Parke County's greatest day — her welcome 
 home to her boys from the Great World War.

 Parke County's oontributiou to the war lit- 
 erature anil niusie ranked very favorably with 
 that of other counties of the State, and while it 
 
 is eonsiilereil that every patriotic thought 
 thus expressed helped to win the war, and is 
 therefore entitled to recognition and commenda- 
 tion, .vet only a limited number can be recorded 
 here. These have been selected with the idea of 
 liringing out different phases of the war. 
 
 Our Honor Roll 
 
 OVritten by Juliet V. Strauss at the 
 beginning of the war.) 
 
 I have been a little reticent about urging 
 .voung men to go into the service becau.se I have 
 no sous to offer — nobod.v to seud out with the 
 great offer of a human life. It has lieen said 
 that the most i)atriotic women iu this time of 
 .Vmerica's test, have been those who have no 
 sons. I ilo not lielieve this, but I do think the 
 .\merican mothers of .voung men have been 
 startled and horrified b.v the realit.v of life which 
 this demand for service has made upon them. 
 We have lived so long under the iilea that war 
 would never come to us — that we would not be 
 called upon to suffer, that the terror of the thing 
 grips our hearts and we can't help thinking at 
 times that the game is not worth the candle. 
 This seems a light way of expressing it, but 
 when it comes to giving up a child we have 
 nourished with the thought of its being the prop 
 of our old age — with all the years of fultillment 
 auil oomraileshiji and comfort we had looked for- 
 ward to. it sudilenly seems unreasonable and \ 
 cry out in the agony of our souls and are almo-f 
 willing for our bo.vs to be cowards — almost but 
 not quite — and so — they must go. 
 
 I, who have latel.v lost a child, seemingly in 
 the full bloom of womanhood, who have lived 
 through the furnace of the long hours and da.vs 
 and .vears in which life has seemed intolerable 
 by reason of the unceasing anguish of the sep- 
 aration, the longing, the intolerable longing for 
 "the hands, the lips, the eyes'" of my child, can 
 searcel.v contemplate these mothers of sons with- 
 out streaming tears, anil yet I am better prepared 
 to greet the bo.vs who go out as heroes, than 
 mothers who have not lost children. 
 
 And there are a few things which I may sa.v 
 to them that nia.v in a sense comfort them. When 
 
 I remember the high courage with which my 
 daughter met death. I think it was a privilege 
 to have been her mother, although so wholly un- 
 worthy. We never can quite get used to the oc- 
 casion as we should, but many people do bet- 
 ter than I did — I can never contemplate the 
 months that preceded my daughter's deatli with- 
 out humiliation too deep for mind — my only hope 
 is that iu Heaven she has forgiven me — that she 
 understands. 
 
 The reason why 1 was guilt.v of such a ter- 
 rilile failure in all that a mother should do or be 
 was because I was bitten to the soul with our 
 modern nmterialistic ideals of life. I had set 
 my heart upon success and my whole notion of 
 coming out ahead of the game was to see m.v 
 girls smartl.v dressed and having a good time i' 
 societ.v. Of oourse I wanted them to be good. 
 1 wished them to give a perfunctory attention 
 to religious matters, I wanted them to be good 
 nuithers and moral women, but as for me I was 
 going ahead in the pride of my strength to what 
 I called success. Not that I was "going the pace" 
 in societ.v as man.v .\merican women have done, 
 or even imlulging in luxur.v or leisure or ease. 
 I was working like a Tro.ian, and I sincerel.v 
 thought that God was with me — and He was — 
 but not in the wa.v I imagined. He was watching. 
 At last the time arrived when I was to learn what 
 it means to "catch at God's skirts and pra.v" — 
 to know and realize that I had onl.v God to hoM 
 to and that I must travel along over the awful 
 thorn-path of intolerable woe with ,iust God's 
 name on m.v lips — ,iust a faint, searcel.v realized 
 hope to lift me out of hell. 
 
 This was because I had lived too far away 
 from an.v conscious knowledge of what it means

 them to ili'clave that wo an' "stranni'rs and pil- 
 grims" ami that "this worM's a wiMpvncss of 
 woe — this worM is not oni- homr," Imt now I nn- 
 ilerstaml more fnlly the si-ri]ituie liistory of the 
 exodus — of the wandering in the wilderness — and 
 1 know more fully what it nutans to he a strangi'i 
 and pilgrim and to lia\c the ehaiiee foi- serviii^ 
 to those wlio with me are seeking the prcjmise.l 
 land. 
 
 We eannot sta.v on some hai>iiy jdaygidund 
 forgetful of the stern noeessities and duties o 
 the niarcdi. we must move on and we must li 
 ready to move on — auil this is what we lia\ 
 failed in — readiness. We liave nipt realized that 
 a man's highest call to honoi' is liis eouutry'.^ 
 eall — and that in rearing a inan we must at all 
 times regard him as a ])ossil)le soldier. 
 
 I wish liere and now to salute those hoys 
 and men niio have gone out voluntarily from our 
 eommunity into service. There are only a few 
 of them anil this makes their going all the njore 
 heroic. Men easily fall into the exidtenient of 
 enlisting when there is the blare of diums and 
 the insjiiration of great numliers. But the lioys 
 who have gone from our neighborhood have gone 
 <|uietly away without any demonstration of pride 
 or glory on tlie part of their fellow- citizens. .\ 
 fearful coat of apathy enshromls us and we can 
 not rise to the measure of emotion tlu> situ.-ition 
 demands. This makes eacli .voung man who h 
 gone from our county a real hero — and it seen]s 
 to me that our lack of enthusiasm over them is 
 the saddest proof of our long .journey away from 
 those deep and blessed emotions whicli alone fui- 
 nish life with its imjietus of honor and of vir- 
 tue, fan we get them back again.' Do we know 
 how far away from (Jod we were getting when 
 we got too smart to pray — too "self-controlled" 
 and sophisticated to wee]), too modern and fri- 
 volous to be solenjn, too scdfish and astute to be 
 generous? 
 
 People gaze at my streaming eyes at i liun-h 
 and at i>atriotic meetings and wonder that 1 can- 
 not control myself. I do not wish to control my- 
 self. My tears flow because I know that if as 
 a nation we are to be brought to the feet of God 
 it will be through such hours — such days — perhaps 
 such years as the individual travels, back from 
 his long wandering "in his own strength" along 
 the foolish jiaths of material success. I know- 
 
 that it must come liy w;iy of hroken heart> anij 
 desolate hearthstones, of ruini'd ambitions and 
 thwarted [dans. Jt ujnst come by giving U|i lu.\-

 What can we do to luing this tliought closi- 
 to the liearts of the men, the young men, whom 
 we see loafing on our streets on Hunda,v nnuii- 
 ings, speeding autoniohiles. smoking cigarett<'s, 
 shrugging tlieir shoiilders at all the beautiful and 
 solemn things that lifi> and liberty mean? 
 
 One thing at least we can ilo. We can sp.-.ak 
 the names of those who in the midst of tlii-^ 
 ajiathy luought upon us by dishonest politics, by 
 selfish aiel iTijuior.-il society, by "cli(pu-ry" social 
 methods, by hack of true religion iji our homes, 
 with such reverence as we bestow upon great 
 heroes. But we never can fully a)i])reciate their 
 goiiig, or the fact of their having somehow in 
 tlie midst of our ignoble time of stolid devotion 
 to jiersonal luxury, and comfort saved for Ameri- 
 ca some sjiark of chivalry until suffering has 
 made the war ;i i-eality to us ami w-e are finally 
 awakened to the gloricnis jii-ivilege of service. 
 .Meanwhile let us ijublicl.v congratulate those ]ia- 
 rents whose boys have wanted to go. Let us 
 tluink them with free hearts for jireserving in 
 their sons the preciinis s]iark of true manhood — 
 ami again let us congratulate those jiarents wlmsi- 
 Ijoys can pass the physical examination. I.et us 
 liestow u]ion them their .just meed of joide in 
 all that the significant fact uuiy mean. In dee]) 
 humility let us realize whose fault it is tluit 
 yo\nig men may not have been led in the ]paths 
 that foster all that is lujble and great in man- 
 hood. Whose fault is it that young men do not 
 instinctivcdy take to chivalry and to service.' 
 Whose fault is it that our old ideals of honor are 
 tainted with the knowledge that onl.v money, no 
 matter how aci-nmnlated, counts in a man's stand- 
 ing in the community.' Whose fault is it that 
 i-har;icter and honesty and f riemlliness and true 
 human feeling have all Iieen below ji.ar in

 Whose fault is it that young men are scarce, 
 that peojile have not been virile enough to pio- 
 duce American citizens whose life and sacred 
 honor w.as pledged from birth to the jieiiietua- 
 tion of early .\merican ideals? 
 
 Whose fault is it that citizenshi]i in the laud 
 of the free and the home of the brave Inis not

 Answer, Christians wliose children never hear you 
 pray. Answer, soeietj" people. Answer, farmers 
 who have cultivate.! selfishness to the limit — 
 answer, men and women who are steeped in the 
 modern passion of personal comfort. And in the 
 midst of our humiliation, in our acknowledgement 
 of failure, let us at least join in reverent praise of 
 those among us who have voluntarily given the:n- 
 selves for our protection. Let us call their 
 
 names upon our brightest roll of honor. They 
 are forever sealed to us as heroes. Let us try 
 to feel it in a deeper, truer measure. 
 
 But if we do not feel it now. God knows we 
 shall feel it hereafter. I cannot believe that 
 it is in His plans to let America go. Somehow 
 He will bring us back to the old ideal of personal 
 honor that counts service to country the highest 
 privilege of man or woman.

 Intel the Inn. I wliore "Knltur" unsouglit for 
 Hy the worlil hail founil its way. 
 Among the iiel.ls and liy tlie roadsi.le they, 
 The ion(|nereil, stooil ilowneast, 
 Watcliing the long, muil-siiattered eoluinii as it 
 passed. 
 
 We niarehod in silence: there were no chee:s, no 
 
 fears: 
 At the lionlerland no madmen stood with spears 
 As gnardsmen oVr the Fatherland. 
 Where were the ])roud, ilefiai-t men in grey, on 
 
 that Mienioralde da.v 
 Old (ilory, jiroudi.v tloating in the air 
 Crossed the threshold of their lair.' 
 We saw them not. 
 
 The gates once closed to Justice and to Right 
 Were left nngnarded "gainst the mightiest of the 
 
 might. 
 And through them jioured the loug and silent 
 
 train 
 Of warriors, khaki clad. 
 
 We sought not for adventure's wihl acclaim. 
 The love of peace was all we had 
 .\s a passjiort to this great domain, 
 Where "Kultiir," vulgar in its form. 
 Was the crowned monarch — 
 I'ethroned. luit yet was jirone to reign. 
 
 We came, we came as conquerors, 
 
 .\nd by the roadside they, the conquered, stood 
 
 ilowncast, 
 Watching the long, mud-spattereil column as it 
 
 passed : 
 Hour on hour the sea of warriors surged 
 From the fields of Fi'ance, 
 Into the war lord's realm. 
 No gates, no walls, no German line 
 Could cheek the great advance. 
 Hour on hour, their souls with hatred all aflame. 
 The conquered watched us as we came. 
 With hatred .' .\.ve. and .vet perhaps with ,ioy.

 They"r<f coming home, my laddie, 
 
 They're eom^ing home I know. 
 To the loTe-l ones left behind them 
 
 So many months ago. 
 When they joine.} the Allies' lortes. 
 
 To the straggle against the Hun, 
 For the war is over. Laddie. 
 
 The Tietory is won. 
 
 When yoar eountry ealle>t you, darling. 
 
 You acswere»i with a will, 
 Vou said that .vou were ready 
 
 To conquer Kaiser Bill: 
 You thought it was your duty 
 
 To the battle front to go. 
 Bur .vou're not coming. Laddie. 
 
 Not coming home, I know. 
 
 From camp you wrote me saying 
 
 You like' I your work so well. 
 How proud I was, my .larling. 
 
 Xo human tongue ean tell. 
 The pictures that you sent me 
 
 To my friends 111 always show. 
 And I hope\l you'd eome. my Laddie, 
 
 Bat of course I didn't know. 
 
 .\nd then you wrote me saying 
 
 You'd arrive*! in sunny Franee. 
 That upon the -doggone>l boehe" 
 
 You hope*! you'd soon advance. 
 That when our bo,vs had showe^t them 
 
 Which way they'd Wtter go. 
 You'd be home, you said, dear Laddie. 
 
 Bzit then you didn't know. 
 
 One day they sent a message 
 
 From Washington to say 
 That you'd been kille»i in aetion 
 
 In Franee. so far away. 
 M.v heart is heavy, darling. 
 
 With this awful weight oi woe. 
 For you're not coming. Laddie. 
 
 Xot coming home. I know. 
 
 O. Laddie, dearest Laddie! 
 
 The stars that shine tonight 
 Tell me that you're waiting 'iarling. 
 
 In that land of love and light. 
 When my work on earth is over 
 
 And it's time for me to go. 
 I trust we'll meet in heaven. 
 
 Then weTI both be Home, vou know.

 He lias gone with an earnest sjiirit. 
 
 A glorions light in his eyes. 
 So with prayer and imssion ami silenoe 
 
 We accept the sacrifice. 
 
 For anlor of youth is the magic key 
 And our country's precious needs 
 
 I'niocks the torrents of millions of lives 
 Gives immortal urge to their needs. 
 
 Sail forth, then, young crusader. 
 To the lan<ls which beckon you 
 
 Where the Kaiser's shadow blackens 
 And the sun is hiil from view. 
 
 Fight on till the day of glory 
 
 Shall triumph the whole world o'er 
 
 When Freedom's wondrous story 
 
 Proclaims Tyranny reigns no more.

 Parke County Organization. 
 
 Late in July. IIUSI. Joseph K. Bloomer was 
 appointed organizer of the Legion for Parke 
 County, and in a short time had secured the fif- 
 teen niemliers required to obtain a Chapter. 
 These men were Hubert M. Teague, Maurice Mur- 
 phy, Russell E. Dukes, John J. Counell.v, Percy 
 I). Seybold, Hobart M. Harrison. Arthur Rohm, 
 Robert J. White, Warren H. Harrison, Harry H. 
 Welch, Max G. Lee, Clement Wasson, Luther 
 Jerome. Joseph B. Royse ami Joseph R. Bloomer. 
 
 The first meeting of Parke Count.v Post. No. 
 4S. was held on Wednesila.v night. Sei>tember 111, 
 1919. in a small room of the opera house build- 
 ing, anil constitution and by-laws adopted. Joseph 
 
 B. Ro.vse was chosen Con\mander: Robert J. 
 White. Vice-Commander; Maurice Murjih.v. Ad- 
 jutant, anil Russell E. Pukes. Treasurer. Steele 
 Post, (;. .\. R.. offered the new organization the 
 use of their rooms in the Court House for a meet- 
 ing place and the meetings were held there un- 
 
 til January, 1920, when the meeting ])!ace was 
 changed to the Knights of Pythias hall. 
 
 The oHicers for 1920, the first to be elected 
 to serve a whole .vear were ; Commander, Cle- 
 ment Wasson; Vice-Commander. Paul R. Pike: 
 Treasurer, Luther Gilderland: Adjutant, Perry 
 M. Rush, who soon moved out of the Count.v and 
 was succeeded b.v Forrest Ingram. Miss Beatrice 
 McFarland, of the Arm.v Nurse Corps, is a char- 
 ter mendier, she being the onl.v woman in the 
 Count.v appl.ving for nieniliership. 
 
 On May 20, 1920, the name of the Post was 
 changed to Fellenzer Post, No. 4S, in honor of 
 Blaine Fellenzer. who was the first from the Rock- 
 ville community to be killed in action. The Post 
 had a hundred and eleven members and sent 
 three delegates to the first State convention at 
 Vinceunes, June 2S, 1920. The Post was repre- 
 sented b.v Benjamin F. Stephenson, Leiaud Wat- 
 son and Verne Pickard. 
 
 Toila.v there is but one other Post in tin' 
 Count.v. the Litse.v-Price, of Marshall, named for 
 Earl Litsey and Capt. Grover C. Price, both of 
 whom died in service over seas. The.v have a 
 membershi]) of twent.v-nine wide-awake fellows, 
 and the post, although but a few weeks old, is 
 alread.v showing much "lie])" and enthusiasm. 
 
 From this rather small beginning we hope 
 to soon have other Posts established in the Coun- 
 t.v and a membership including ever.v eligible ex- 
 service man within our jurisdiction.

 Mrs. Mary Letithernian's work in connection 
 with this pui'lication was characterize'! by the 
 s;ime zeal an.l tireless energy which she g-ave 
 in all of the war work .lone by her. Mucli time

 this we. her associates, are very grateful.

 crexiitable. t>oth in design and exevution. The 
 thanks of K>th eiUtor and publisher are exteude<l 
 to John A. Liuel>arger. whose helj> in reading 
 proof, writing and arranging "copy" has l>een of
