THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION. 226 West 89th Street. New York City, is our sole and exclusive Foreign Advertising! Agent. "Long May It Wave." Let's get up a county peace jubilee. vv. s. s. Well, we celebrated a little soon, but we enjoyed the occasion just the same. 1 i W S. S. Let us.prajr that this will be the last war with which civilized man will have to do. . w. s. s. It was reported Tuesday that the Clown Prince had been shot by some body. Too good to be true. w. s. s. We say as did Garfield when hit by an assassins bullet. "God reigns, and the Government at Washington Still. Lives.' W. S. S. . Now that the United War Work campaign is out of the way let's finish up our War Saving campaign in Polk county. w. s. s. Remember what Bill said to Minister v Gerard? "Remember, I shall not put up with any foolishness out of America after the war." We wonder. ; Peace carqp at the eleventh hour o the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Don't the Bible say something about the fellow who came in at the eleventh hour? w. s. s. It k a victory of Christianity over in . fidelity; of civilization over savagery; of democracy over autocracy. Are there any principles of any greater value than these? Are they not worth fighting for? W. S. S. Don't let Polk county fall down on the War Saving quota. The war is over and our boys will soon be coming home. Let's not leave anything undone, or do anything that we shall be ashamed of when the boys get back. w. s. s. Soon "Johnny Will Come Marching Home." Are you ready to look him in the face and fell him you have done your whole duty? Not until we take our full allotment of War Saving Stamps can we do such a thing. w. s. s Don't imagine for a minute that all is over. The greatest and most complex questions with which humanity has ever had to deal with are yet to be under taken. True Germany is defeated, but peace terms have not been arranged, and will not be for several months. 1 w. s. s, If Bill Hohenzollern, Charley Haps burg and two other gentlemen whose name and address is unknown, will cal, ; on Gen. Foch and pay for this adver tisement they can secure four Second hand crowns very reasonable. No futher use can be found for them. K w. s. s. . v History has yd to record any : single individual openly defying God as did the German . Kaiser, and surviving, pod sometinies. allows an- accursed in divkhiaf to apparently thrive for a good long: while, bur He metes out' ounU.

Withi millions of American men on war fronts, in training camps and on the seas and with thousands of Ameri can women on foreign soil, all engaged in the stupendous task of making the world safe for democracy, a great duty devolves upon those who remain in the United States, the duty of send ing Home to those who have put Home behind them for the period of the war. The agencies through which this can be accomplished are joined in the United War Work Campaign.' From being given the cigarette or chocolate bar, with which he stays his hunger In the fary of. battle, to the theatrical entertainment or the ath letic games, which relax him into nor mal comfort after weeks of terrific combat, the American fighter is de pendent upon the continued efforts of the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the National Catholic War Council and K. of C, the -War Camp Community Serv ice, the Jewish Welfare Board, the American Library Association and the Salvation Army. To carry on this work the combined welfare organiza tions are seeking a fund of $170,500, 000. The Y. M. C A. provides 538 huts In American training camps and more than 800 in the war zone as centres which the fighters can use as clubs, schools, theatres, stores, churches, li braries and writing rooms. More than 7,000 men and women had been sent overseas or Approved for overseas work by early autumn and 3,825 were serving in American camps at home. Y. M. C. A. huts are the canteens of the American Expeditionary Force and are the theatres where the American entertainers, sent over by the "Y," ap pear. Noted American public men and clergymen speak in the huts. Classes areonducted there. Millions of letters are written there on paper provided free by the "Y." Physical directors of the "Y" teach and spread mass, ath letics, using material furnished free by the organization. The Y. W. C. A. does similar work for the thousands of American women In war work overseas signal corps telephone operators, nurses and French munition workers. It provides cafeterias, rest and recreation centres, entertainment and reading for these women and girls. The Y. W. C. A.'s outstanding con tribution to soldier welfare work in training camps was the establishment of Hostess Houses, where the soldier or sailor may receive his mother, wife, sister or sweetheart in the surround ings and atmosphere of the best homes. The National Catholic War Council co-ordinates all Catholic welfare work in support of the government and through the K. of C. provides club houses for our fighters In all Ameri can training camps, as well as having seventy-five centres in France and three in England. In their huts the K. of C. provides entertalnlngment, movies, boxing bouts, educational work, religious services, free station ery, reading matter and writing rooms. In France their rolling canteen ac companies the American army, tfieir secretaries march with the troops, giv ing away cigarettes, cookies, choco lates, soap and towels. The K. of C. had 300 workers Ir France at the beginning of autumn with 450 more passed by the govern ment and 200 others signed up. Ai the same date they had 468 secretaries in American training camps, 150 build Ings, fifty-six more In the course o' erection and contracts let for fiftj more. r War Camp Community Servict functions exclusively in America, it special mission being to "surround the camps with hospitality." In place oi leaving the soldier or sailor to thf promiscuous companions and diver sions formerly his lot, the organiza tion obtains for, him the best to be had in communities adjoining camps or through which he passes. W. C. C. S. obtains for him invlta tlons to dine, bathe or spend the day in the best homes. It' introduces him to the best women and girls at social gatherings, church entertainments; theatre parties. It arouses communi ties to provide concerts, athletic con tests and other wholesome diversions for the soldier, and to drive out oi discourage the vicious elements which have been historic camp followers.

C, A. Worker KATY BOYD , GEORGE. She is rather wee and very winning. Her eyes repeat the blue on her Y. W. C. A. uniform that carries the insignia of her service. Her hair, grey for all the shortness of her span of years, frames a face worn, not thin,, but fine with a suffering that is more than merely vicarious. She has lived in the shadows, has stood by while the thrns were press ed down above tortured eyes, has held the hands' of those who knelt in their Gethsemane. In a very literal and un restricted aense, "She hath done what she could" for those who overseas en dure what we, sheltered and safe, read about. She is to tell her story in all cities of our Southeastern Department as a National speaker for the -Y. W. C. A. during , the United War Work Campaign to raise $250,000,000 during the week of November 11. At th jrecent United War Work Con vention n Jackson, she was wanted for i a speech In the .main convention hall while 6he was buiy wih comjpiit tee work elsewhere. Several; efforts were made to find her, the program lagged. Presently Gypsy Smith was missed out of a front seat; soon after he returned leading her up the aisle. At the foot of the rostrum he gathered up with sweeping gesture.. R. H. King, J. M. Clinton, Capt. George S. Dingle and O. "W. Buschgen. As the audience rose to its feet at 'sight of "Our Katie" the five men, like prank ish school boys, made a crescent back ground for the one small woman, while from five throats bass, tenor and baritone rolled the lilting strains of "Katie." To Katie Boyd George Mississippi women owe the fact that today the name of their grand old common wealth is on the map of national and international service. Shall all women by concert of effort and sacrifice honor her splendid achievement? We owe her a special sort of allegi ance a fealty of duty, of tradition and affection. When she speaks one hears again the vibrant voice of her grand father, J; Z. George, as in legislative halls during trying days of reconstruc tion, he helped to mould the destiny of our generation. Her forebear's 'indom itable spirit rings in her voice, ema nates from her small supple frame, calls to you from her steady eyes. RAINBOW DIVISION COLONEL COMMENDS Y. M.JA. WORK Colonel Screws Says Alabama ResK idents Are Appreciative Of Red Triangle Service To Soldiers There Birmingham, Ala., Oct. . "In my opinion there is nothing that the Y. M. C. A. can ask of the people 'of Ala bama which they would not give if they only knew half of the excellent work being done by your, organiza tion," writes Col. William P. Screws, Commander 167th Infantry (Old 4th Alabama), in a letter to Borden Burr, who recently returned from France, where he was engaged in War Work for the Young Men's Christian Associ ation. Leaving out expressions of personal praise, at the request of Mr. Burr, Colonel Screws' letter is as fol lows: "On behalf of the officers and enlist ed men of the 167th Infantry (former ly the Fourth Alabama Infantry), I wish to thank you for the excellent and valuable work that you have done with us, and with other America troops, since your arrival in France. "In my opinion too much praise can not be given the Y. M. Q. A. for the excellent work they have done and are now doing for our men over here. As you know, from-personal observa tion since you have been with us, the "Y" workers are present in time of ,ne ed and get some of the luxuries of life to the men that they would not otherwise get..:j; . , if " '; "As the commanding officer W the regiment, I wish to, thank you per sonally for your excellent efforts and your many deeds of valor and kind ness shown all through our hard cam paigns; in which you were present with us from first to last."
