" Premiar of Praoe* UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN UiTED WAS VVGi>K CAMPAIGN TQ RAISE $170,590,000 FOR BOYS OVER THERE \ND IN FIGHTING AREAS WILL &TIR THE 60UTHEA8T WEEK OF NOVEMBER 1*L According to the statement-issued by Dr. John R_ Molt, Director General of the United War Work Campaign, the total amotint to be raiaed during the weak of November 11th.Is $170,500,000, fixed by the War Department, approved by the President. The fund will be administered by the Government Director for the seven recognieed War Work Agtnci?s( the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A-, National Catboilc War Work Council (Knights of Columbus), Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Asso ciation and the Salvation Army. "The amount Is the largest ever asked as a gift from any people in the hiatory of the world," said Dr. Mott. "Viewed as a total sum, it seems gigantic, but divided by the four million men who will be under amu in our army and navy during the period It is expected to cover, And that it means less than 15 vents a day per man. Surely there 4^ "no Father or Mother or friend of a sclci.?-r in this country who will ??ay that 15 cents a day Ls tco much to spev.d on his church, his home ^ver there, his library, his theatre and his club. The President summed .:p t'ho whole app; al in a : ? - c; letter ir. which he spok oi' the work o! M-ven gr?;ai agencies "of vital ir.iliiary importance."

"Napoleon sr.id '.hal 'morale* is as c'lu r factors in war a* three to wLo: General Pershing, in a recent letter, commenting on the work of ilr??^encies, quon u f.'ltlj approval the stat^m^at of ono of his colonels, who^id: 'Give me nine men who have a luit +o spend th* ir evenings ln_ .?.ml I will ham a belter fighting fune than u n men wnu.il ba without it.' If it is worth $24,000,00'),000 to keep our boys under arms next year, surely it is vrerth $170.00o,000, and more, to add 10% to their fighting if it brings victory 10% nearer. This is the appeal of the seven Unit ed War Work agencies to America, and particularly to those four mil lion homes where service flags fly, and we know what America's an swer will be." \ Welfare Workers Serve Soldiers During Epidemic Man hi Qutrwitb?

Or der? wsrt l**eed by General But, eommandlnc officer at the canton ment, that every trooper should wear a "flu'* mank whether at driU, or en joying a much needed rest. The re sult was that thousands of masks were In doniand and every woman wlio ccaid ply a needle wm proHs?*d Into service. The "V" women, reeont arrivals at ?amp te act l* secretaries in the huts, did yeoman service, and hundreds of the Farm and Home agents-^hrough the schools and clubs of Franklin. It will be done entirely as a conservation measure. These pests are *erm carious and every effort should be made to exter- | minate them. * j I They destroy clothing, food and I gTain. The loss of food and foodstuffs !i in the United States as a result of the !? the masks ver? turned out as the re ?nit o t, their efforts. The "flu" epidemic foroed the aloe Inf of all T. M.

These conrales cent In the barracks were also dve? the benefit of this wervloe. The advent of women secretaries at the Red Triangle huts has proved n decided sensation amon^ the troo;.: i and they are quick to express theii | satisfaction at the Innovation. Thf I worn* n workers release men for eerv I ice in the barracks and assume the du "ties of the men seer taries at the huts ravishes of rats and mice is conserva tively estimated at $2.000.000,000. This means the wiping out of the equivalent r?f the productive labor of an army of 200.000 men. There is probably not a merchant In Franklin County 'vhoso losses of food and feedstuffs through rats and aiice does not amount to more than sufficient to pay his State, County and town taxes. Foodstuffs and feedstuff* must be measured in terms of human Uvea. Food that Is destroyed by iatsviitnd mice in Anmrhin cannot save human lives. wTvesOeaclior.. and children is request ed in this campaign. Miss Virginia Clifton* I>cad.

Macon, of near Louisburg. was born on the 30th day of May, 1892, and was killed in ac tion on the battlefields of France Oct. 10. 1918. Besides his wife and parents Mr Macon is survived by the following brothers and sisters. Mr, Geo. W, Ma(?on, of Kpsoiti, Mr. A. Wilson Macon, his twin brother, now convalescing from a serious wound in a hospital in France, Mrs. G. Blount Hgerton^ Miss Louise Macon. On April C, 1918, at Columbia. S. C., Mr. Macon was happily united in mar riage to Miss Elizabeth fcvelyn Jones, of near Oxford, X. by the Rev. Dr. Blackwood. Presbyterian Minister of - that city. The young man left home for Camp Jackson, S. C.. Sept. 7, 1917, where he remained until transferred to Camp Se . vie.r, to be with his brother. Wilson, about ten days before sailing. Arriving tin France be immediately went into ?t!?e Signal Service training, and had only completed that service a short time preceding the fatal battle. Mr. Macon had been killed about three weeks before any tidings of the dis tressing event was received by'his people. . The remains were tenderly buried br Mr. Ale* Wilson, a cousin of the de ceased. For the bereaved young wife and family. and the brother in France, who writes in detail, on the saddest day tf this life, of the death or.his devoted brother, th* clc '.pest sympathy is felt and expressed by all and every token kindness and sympathy bestowed by their many friends is aeoply appre ciatevi by the family.
