C, as secondclas: matter under Act of Coneressa March 3. ,1879; IF (By Rudyardi Kipling) ( If : you can keep . your: head : when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming, it on you; If you can trust yourself : when s all mens doubt you,. But make allowance fori their doubting too: If you. can wait; and not; be tired by waiting. Or being lied about, don't deal in lies Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If. you can dream- and ; not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet: with. Triumph' and Disaster And treat those two impositors just the: same: If you; can bear to hear the truth you've spoken; Twisted by knaves to make a trap loi fools, Or watch the things you gave your -life to, broken, And stoop and build 'era up with worn out tools;: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and- toss, And lose, and start again at you: beginnings And never breathe a word about you loss:: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Exceptr the : Will whieh ; says to them Hold on!' If you can talk with: crowds and keep your virtue, Orwalkrwith Kings nor lose the the common, touchy If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt: you, If all men : count : with i you, but none too -much:: If r you. can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds worth-of. distance run, Yours i is the: Earth: and everything that's in it, And hich is more you'll be a Man my son! W.S.S. THE GUNS SILENCED After four- years and ; three morth ? of destruction, the stride of Mars has halted. The Imperial German is no more militarism is routed. In its stead, if we read indications -correctly, has-come a new, government, the an swer: to the voice' of democracy. The glad tidings of victory send a thrill to. every nerve and sinew. Eter nal justice has made known its voice, and; the sons of a: free world can re joice; that r the spirit of Right has em erged triumphant: The days of the past four years havo been crowded with sorrow and de struction, but today we . begin to re build, we catch the vision of everlast-: ihg peaee based upon a brotherhood of man, we breathe the spirit of "the re construction, we. start upon -the paths of. pleasant peace again. We : may. rejoice that the policy of our leaders has guided us straight and we should give thanks to God who has given us the Victory, and entrusted . to us the. new order of s things. . W.S.S. THE ANSWER TO i CHEER The- days will be long. to. many men iii service now the fire to keep phy sically fit i to be ready for the Hun, dies with peace. War becomes guard duty, no, pulsing, .vibrant, interesting, game. There-will be long hours in 'campy .and out .before the boys come home; The seven organizations of cheer of the United War, Work campaign have a larger work to do. They must dispel the gloom and keep: clean the men who are now waiting to demo bolize. Their sphere of service is more important today than it was a month i ago. The idea of the seven relief organ izations united under the Wark Work campaign head is to carry cheer, com fort insofar as possible, and home to the; men . Out There. Home influence must not hang alone upon the doors of the cottage, but must exert its control ' when the boy is face to face with temptation and evil; far from i loved ones. Here is where the Christian Chain of Cheer puts the arm of ' loved ones around the shoulders of the one most dear to some American: mother, and leads the feet in another: direction. ; The United' War Work's seven agen cies function -beautifully in their aims for the: best influence of home wher ever the Flag: flies. The sphere they fill is. essential; the need for the-sup port of the public urgent. Let the dollars create smiles, com-r fort and home influence- for Sammy. from cantonment to front line trench.

Wintle) FOUND BOOKS DEEP DOWN IN DUG-OUTS American Library Association Book Sure Reach Soldiers,- Says Raymond Fosdick "I found the books of the American Library Association everywhere in, France says Raymond Fosdick, chair man of the National Commission on Training Camp Activities, who has just returned from an extended trip over seas, during which he conducted a thorough investigation of the work being done by the various : war work agencies. "I found them in dugouts thirty or; forty feet below ground, in cow-barna where shrapnel! had! blown parts, of the- roof away, as well as in the sub stantial huts and: tents far back from: the firing line. "I have found them in hospitals ancti dressing stations ; in scattered villages in the training area where our men are: billeted and even: in the remote parts of France where the forestry units are; carrying out their lonely, but efficient and : essential work. Your books are in : continual demand from' the time the soldiers arrive in camp in America: until they come back home after serv ice over there." The A. Ij. A. library service has grown tremendously within the past few months and millions of books have been distributed wherever sol diers and sailors are quartered, on sea or land. If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think you dare not you don't, " if you'd like to win, but think you can't It's almost a cinch, you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost, For out of the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will, It's all in the state of mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise, You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. I ife's battles don't always go : To the stronger or faster man; But soon or late the man who wins, Is the man who thinks he can. W.S.S, "HEED ONLY CREED" SAYSJ1IPSY . SMITH "Need is the only creed over there," declared Gipsy Smith, the famous evangelist, speaking to enormous aud iences in southeastern cities, where mass meetings have been held in the interest of the United War Work cam paign to open on November 11. Peace or war, that United War Fund drive must go over the top in style next week. FLORIDA NEWSPAPERS PLEDGE ASSISTANCE Representatives of Florida daily and weekly newspapers in attendance at a luncheon held in connection with a conference of United War Work cam paign workers, pledged themselves to concentrate behind the big drive to open on November 11. Their action puts the full strength of the Florida newspaper fraternity in the field and in every section ol the state the public will be informed through the columns of the press Just what the aims and objects of the seven great war work -agencies are in this .coming campaign to raise $170,500,00X" SOUTHEAST H GET SUP 10L EflOES IN FRANCE PLIES AT LESS TIM i ESALE PRICES OVER HERE RED TRIANGLE 6HOULDER3 EXPENSE OF TRANSPORTATION FROM MANUFACTURERS TO CANTEENS IN FRANCE SYSTEM REDUCED TO FINAL.
