We have recently sent the first wo man's hospital unit abroad from the J United States. This unit is the War Baby of the National Woman Mrs.-J. L. Laidlaw. wi wlch we are afuliated. We have Just held a great naval and military meet at Madison Square Gar den, where a large sum was raised for this remarkable unit, which has sailed t do such valuable work in France. Every person in it, even to the plumb ers and mechanics, are women, and they volunteered for dangerous service. Other branches of our war service bave been an Intensive food conserva tion campaign and the War-Savings Stamps campaign. In all this active patriotic work we feel inspired with the thought of our own chairman, "Mrs. Jforman deB. Whltehouse, abroad on an important government mission and , many others of the rank and file of our women who are engaged In -devoted service" "over there." Citixenship Schools. Another interesting branch of our work Is ,the great university extension of citizenship. Schools are being held throughout the state under our Educa tional Committee. Another line of work is that of our Intelligence Committee, which lists of ficials of all political parties and all men in every township and county In the state who have run or are to run for office. It is believed this commit tee will become extremely intelligent as time goes on, and Its intelligence will react on the civic welfare of the state most tellingly.

It would mean oar -first national de feat; and, thus, would smash our per fect record for vlctorles a record as . old as our nation a record that, means more than the right to brag. Even as a beaten army never wholly regains its old form even as a beaten ring cham pion sinks at once into desuetude so our nation (its traditions of victory gone) would suffer far worse deteriora tion than the mere fact of defeat could Inflict. r It would mean that the man who has risked all in his country's struggle for Right could never again feel his former calm certainty that Right must tri umph. Thus, the moral tone of the in dividual, as well as of the nation, would Inevitably be lowered. This country has never embarked In a war of conquest From 1775 to the present we have fought for Liberty or for Union or for the Oppressed ever, for some sterling principle of right. From childhood we have been taught; to believe that the high unselfishness of our war aims has given us the vic tory. We have seen the decay or de struction of men and nations that have battled for dominion as Germany Is now battling. Should we fall In this, our mightiest war for the Right, the average man must lose forever the simple Faith which has led our dear country from nothingness to its pres ent estate. For that Faith, more than for. anything else, our sacrifice Is a hundredfold Justified. - .. Your Country Calls ! $ VVYVVV Awake, Americans! Make this war your war, . Every man must prove Right Is Might It means your liberty, if not your KSe. Combat German propaganda here. Attack everything un-American 1 Great Wheat Stocks Isolated. It's the shortage In ships that is putting the Allies and the United States on wheat rations. Great stocks of wheat are iso lated in India, and Australia. At great sacrifice in ship space and use the Allies are forced to se cure some wheat from Argentina. On January 1 Australia bad stored. 100,000,000 bushels of wheat that was ready for ex port but there were no ships. Then came the new crop with an exportable surplus of 80,000, 000 bushels. Now Australia has approximately 180,000,000 bush els waiting for ships. India, at the same time, had 70,000,000 bushels of wheat Btored for export During April 50,000,000 bushels more out of the new crop will be added to the pile. Argentina closed the last ship ping season with 11,000,000 bushels of wheat left In the stock available for export The new crop will add 185,000,000 to the left over. It Is not a problem that the wheat does not , exist in the world It Is entirely a problem of shipping, which has thrown on America the obligation of divid ing our stock with the Allies.

Arrangements have been made to have every school in every district visited by some speaker, dur ing the week. Most of the speakers will be local. A plan has "been worked out so as BROWNLOW JACKSON to give every man, woman and child in the county an opportunity to pledge something.

GCyVEEtNAlENT PRICE FIVE CENTS will be needed, so the people are urged to divert some of their energy from their own interests and help this great work. v Brownlow Jackson, county chair man of the war savings stamp com mittee, in conversation with a Hust ler reporter, says that all the town ship chairmen have assured him that they will raise their quota and he ex pressed the assurance that the full quota would be raised and that Hen derson county would go over the top without a hitch. The quota for Henderson county is $357,000, of which only 10 per cent has been raised up to the present time. This is a pledge campaign rather than a campaign to secure cash money. The pledges will be taken during the next week and the privilege of paying for the stamps at any time during the year will be given. Under this plan every one will be benefitted 'and the stamps will be vithin the reach of all. .
