THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

s— — v - X? ■■■— j Somebody’s Dollars Will Do It— I Wonder H They’ll Be Yours T 1 ? By Bruce Barton ’ I L I WILL tell you what will happen some KJ night this winter in France. Some night when its cold and dark. There lb will be a rustling through the front line Jk trench, where our boys stand guard. And a heavy ladened Secretary will make iftx his way along. tt In his hands will be great steaming *z \ pots: in his pocket chocolate and cigarettes. p From one man to another he will go, nW passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands that tremble with the cold; bringing the K comfort of a bit of sweet and a smoke. fcZmM Men will hail him cheerily, slapping him on back; and when he has gonetvKHjjw ~ things will be a little easier in that trench because he has passed that way. zk J How much will it cost to make that Zw trip, do you suppose? Counting the pittance that the Secretary is paid, and H VJ the cost of the chocolate and the ciga- k ' rettes and all? Five dollars? Twenty-five dollars? . . Am I do not know. But whether it is five dollars or I LI twenty-five, I’d like to think that it is wp ' J my five or twenty-five—wouldn’t you? That some night when it’s cold and lonesome, my money and yours might send a Zw Secretary out along that front line trench. Let’s make up our minds that we are J W/ going to pay for a score of those trips. W A score of the nights this winter shall be x our nights M —nights when the boys greet joy- in ously the chocolate and cigarettes that W/ our money provided; and are happier KJ because our representative has passed. United War Work For the Boys in Campaign the Service

SERVICE THAT WINS THE SOLDIER HEART

Fred Lockley, Y. M. C. A., Tells of the Gratitude of the Boys at the Front. •‘One of the discoveries men are making over here,” Fred Lockley, of the Y. M. C. A. and of Portland, Oregon, writes from London, “is that more pleasure can be had out of giving than getting. Many a man who has spent money freely in the old days to buy pleasure is finding that he gets more pleasure over here by the spending of one’s self in the service of others. “A few months ago I went out with a fellow Y. M. C. A. secretary to hunt up out-of-the-way detachments of troops. A stable guard here, a machine gun company there, a platoon somewhere else. We carried our goods in an automobile. We had plenty of writing paper and envelopes for free distribution, and chocolate, cookies, chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco, cigarettes, razor blades, tooth paste and things of that kind for sale. American war service workers were busy everywhere. We found Salvation Army lassies making doughnuts for the boys and K. of C. secretaries giving help. Books furnished by the American Library Association were to be seen on all sides. “Hearing firing at a distance, we drove down the road and found a score or so of men at machine gun practice. The officer gave the men half an hour recess to buy goods. “At another place we came in sight of a lieutenant drilling a platoon. I said to the lieutenant : ‘How soon before you dismiss the company? We have Y. M. C. A. goods for sale.’ “He said: ‘Right now. Sergeant, dismiss the company!’ “And ten seconds later the company was in line waiting to buy goods from our traveling ‘Y.’ Grateful is no name for it. The men can’t do enough to show their gratitude.”

Why You Should Give Twice What You Did Before

The government has fixed the sum needed for the care of the meh in the service at $170,500,000. Unless Americans give twice as much as ever before our soldiers, sailors and marines in 1919 may not enjoy their 3,600 recreation buildings 1.000 miles of movie films 100 stage stars 2,000 athletic directors 2,500 libraries supplying 3,000,000 books 85 hostess’ houses 15,000 “Big Brother” secretaries Millions of dollars of home comforts Give to maintain the morale that is winning die war now

MERCY MUNITIONS NEEDED IN TRENCHES

Lieut. Coningsby Dawson, Fighting Author, Makes Stirring Appeal for Y. W. C. A. Lieut. Coningsby Dawson, who wrote •‘Carry On,” says of the war work which the Y. W. C. A. is doing: “You at home cannot fight with your lives, but you can fight with your mercy. The Y. W. C. A. Is offering you just this chance. It garrisons the women’s support trenches, which lie behind the men’s. It asks you to supply them with munitions of mercy’ that they may be passed on to us. We need such supplies badly. Give generously that we may the sooner defeat the Hun.” What Lieut. Dawson says of the Y. W. C. A. he might have said of all the national organizations which are coming together for the biggest financial campaign that organizations have ever headed. All the $170,500,000 to be raised by the seven great national organizations the week of November 11 will be used to garrison and supply the support trenches behind the lines. They are the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the National Catholic War Council, Jewish Welfare Board, American Library Association, War Camps Community Service and Salvation Army. American girls in various uniforms mingle strangely with picturesque Brittany costumes In France. The American Y. W. C. A. has a hostess house in Brittany where tiie Signal Corps women live and a hut where the nurses spend their free time. Both these centers are fitted with many of the comforts and conveniences of home. “At a tea given at the nurses’ hut one Saturday afternoon,” writes Miss Mabel Warner, of Salina, Kansas, Y. W. C. A. worker there, “there was an odd gathering—one admiral, a bishop, a Presbyterian minister, a Roman Catholic priest, a doctor, an ensign, one civilian and myself.”

First Victory Boy’s Work.

“Say, I’m wiar to you, all right,” a Western Union messenger boy whispered to one of the directors of the United War Work Campaign in the New York headquarters. The director’s desk had only just been moved In and the work of the big drive bad hardly begun. “I’m onto your stunt,” the boy went on as he swung a grimy fist over the desk; “you’re goin’ to give us fellows that ain’t old enough to go to war a chance to earn an’ give to back up a fighter an’ help win the war. Listen; I’m in on this.” The crumpled -?5 bill he dropped on the desk made him the first of “a million boys behind a million fighters” who are to be lined up as Victory Boys during the Week of the drive. There will be a division of Victory Girls, too, and every boy and every girl enrolled will have to earn every dollar he or sh.e gives to the war work fund.

JUST A LITTLE SMILE

Confidence. "Do you think Josh is learning fas* In the army?” said Mrs. Corntossel. “I’m sure of It,” replied her hus* band. ‘‘You know he never stood at th© head of his classes.” “Pm not thinking about how htJ Stood anywhere. I’m thinking about the way he always kept goin’ in a foot* ball game.” it i Name Unknown. “I’m very sorry,” said the grocer, "but I don’t seem to recall your name. I remember your face perfectly, though.” “Yes,” replied tlw lady sarcastically. "You probably never heard my name. I’m the one customer you have who always pays cash.” Opening for Young Man. Ethel—l’m afraid that bell means another caller. Fred (Imploringly)—You, know, there Is such a thing as your not being at home. Ethel (suggestively)—Yes, and there is such a thing as my being engaged.— Tit-Bits. Pests at Rest. “Do you remember the drug store clerk who got you what you wanted and then asked: 'And now what else,’ with the saccharine stress on the ‘now,* when he knew there wasn’t anything else?” “Enjoy yourself. I shot him.” — Sun Dial. Getting His Measure. “Is that new member a good talker?” “Well,” replied Senator Sorghum, “he’s a wonder for endurance. But he doesn’t class up very well for speed.” GLORIOUS.

Miss Sweet —It must be glorious t<J be able to write as you do. Novelist —Yes ; I have got so that I can tip back In my chair, with my feet on the desk, and dictate by the hour. Superfluous. Would you paint the 'Illy? Senseless thing- to do. And to rouge the two-lips, That Is foolish, too. *i Hearing. “You can’t believe everything you hear.” “No,” answered Granny Rllem. "If you could, I’d want to grow deaf as rapidly as possible.” Missed Her Opportunity. Mrs. Blowltt —I could have married four of the Wealthiest men in town. Her Husband —Why didn’t you? The whole four might have been able to pay your dress bills. The Reason. “Fortune frowned on him.” “What did he expect. If you want to get a smile out of fortune you’ve got to do something more than just try to flirt with her.” Well Versed. “Pop, what’s a synonym?” “It’s one of them places where you ge t a big salary and no work to do. Always come to your father, my boy, when you want to know anything." The Usual Way. “What is that string around your Anger for?” “That Is to remind me that I forgot something my wife tied it there for me to remember.” Plain Evidence. “The young writer we met the other day told me he looks into his heart and writes.” “Xes, it Is evident he does not look into his head.” He Knew. Bridegroom—Just look at that young wife. Doesn’t she look queenly? Friend —Yes, she does; but wait until she begins to rule.
