Body Has Left n
Doubt
of tbe lountry. ;
By VINC'ENZO l'OCIXO
( l'.v I'nited l'ress)
TRENTON. N. J. Von want to know
what I have done to belp America win
the war. You remember when Presi-
; dent Wilson made an appeal to the
people to help reduce the high cost
of living and so create more crop to
f-.ed the allies? I apply nt tht time
, to the supervision for an acre of land.
On that acre of land I made one of the
Wst gardens that you ever saw. I got
enough potatoes to supply my family.
I raise tomatoes, lettuce. Iteans and all
kinds of greens. This garden is a great
help to me and my family. Then, came
along the "Lilerty Loan" anil I sub
scrilH'd it. Besides subscribing myself.
I encouraged nearly every man in my
gang who could pay for it.
I have a good gang of men and we
do first class work to keep the tracks
so that the trains can carry the sol
diers, their ammunition and food with
out delay or derailment. I want to
tell yon also that with exception two
or three, all the men in my gang are
naturalized. T have helped them by
explaining what naturalization is.
Not very long ago here at Trenton
we had a tine parade, for the Red Cross
and I was very glad that I was able
to contribute to it. But I want to tell
you that I felt bad when they told me
I was not able to go to France with
i the regiment of railway engineers be
cause they had the number of men they
wanted. I would have been more than
l happy if I could liave had that chance
; But if they should call for more men, -i
I am ready to go. and do my little share ;
to help America win the war.
Finally, I want to tell you. I will help
in any way possible, all tlie time on the
'job and in my home.

Series of Lectures
Here Next Veelfc
Preparations have been - completed
for the series of lectures on the public
and religious questions of the day to be
given at the Court House auditorium
by Evangelist S. R. Haynes of Colum
bia. S. C.
Mr. Haynes has made an extensive
study of thv prophecies of "the Bible
and he is thoroughly convinced that the
great conflict now raging in Europe was
plainly foretold by the ancient writers
of the Scriptures. The outcome of the
aooealine struggle he also believes is
outlined in these ancient writings.
These prophecies he will explain in his
first lecture entitled "Is This War
Armageddon?" on Sunday night the
seventh of October. The Sunday night
lectures will" be illustrated by slides
and some of the others by charts.
In connection with this series of lec
tures a new feature will be introduced
by the Evangelist, one not usually seen
in connection with religious services.
This will be a question and answer ser-.
vice which Mr. Haynes will conduct at
the close of each address. At this tinle
it will be the privilege of any member
of the audience to ask a question on a
Biblical of prophitical topic, writing the
Question out. The questions will be
