The War Workers campaign needs your attention. Don’t lose track of it because of peace rumors or facts. Boost it. The boys need your assistance now whether peace comes or not MORE THAN EVER. Next Monday is the big day. Adams county must raise $30,000 that day for the soldier boys. The man or woman who refuses to do his or her part for this great cause is worse than a slacker. The boys and their friends will never forgive those who fail in this great cause. Germany must give her answer within forty-eight hours. Whatever it is will make no difference in the War Workers campaign. This money is needed now and it will be months before the boys will be sent home. Don’t go back on them now, just When they need you the worst. There is gratification in the results from North Preble this year. That precinct it will be remembered gave Hughes a majority of six two years ago while this year. Confer for secretary of state carried the precinct by thirty-two. The democrats of that section came back in good form and they will continue to do so in the future. It is announced that there will be a fifth Liberty Loan whether the war ends now or after while. The money raised by the Fourth Liberty Loan has been spent or almost so. The boys must be brought home and they must be prpperly cared fr every minute of the time they are in the service. The War Workers’ fund now being raised is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

• the dry districts of Adams county and lost in the wet territory—just another little problem for the long evenings. Freak results sometimes happen in American elections and this seems to be one. Well there is one advantage, we have had the ceebratlon. All over this land, from New York to San Francisco, in cities, towns and villages, the peace news was celebrated, i the people lore loose. Schools, factories. shops and stores closed and 1 rick and poor, employer and employes ' shouted their happiness together. In ’ Philadelphia the Liberty Bell was ' used to proclaim the news, first time . it has been used in many, many years The event at least showed a wild de- ; sire for peace in this country. i .. —= Whether peace conies this week or in six months, we must go on with the war work. The fund now being rais- ( ed for the United War Workers is needed even if ]>eace is at hand. Remember that we have more than two . million boys in France, that many of . them will be there for months, that they will need the assistance of their friends and supporters more thin . ever. Double your efforts, increase t your contribution, don’t go back on i the boys at the front. They are the • men who have offered their lives to > save this country, to protect your • home, they deserve everything you i can do for them. Sacrifice a little for the boy at camp or in the trenches They are heroes, eery one of them. ’ Give, give, give and then some more. (society; L IUTOTO TO TOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOS I Club Calendar Friday.
