Help the Y. M. C. A. and Thereby Help Your Boys

Thirty-five million dollars must be raised to

help the Y. M. C. A. carry on its great war work keeping the home tie3 from breaking. You, fellow citizens. You, mothers and fathers. . You, brothers and sisters. You, uncles, aunts and cousins." ' You, nephews and nieces. To you goes the call from the training camps at home, the .cantonments, the trenches of France, the warships on the North Sea, the .French and Italian armies, and the war camp prisons.

Only one factor. . And that is your neglect to give, or your opposition to the movement.

What is this call? Why does it summon me to do my bit now? Here's the reply, stated in the words of the national committee, sanctioned by our president, approved by General Pershing, supported and sustained by the federal cabinet and the great men of our nation. Read it: If our boys, tired, cold and mud-stained, could only knock at your door tonight, how wonderfully you would minister to them. With what eagerness you would comfort and feed them. You would do this in your homes. Help the Young Men's Christian Association to do this for you in the camps and at the front where you cannot go. Help them by heroic giving. Some are giving thousands; others are giving tens of thousands; and large numbers are giving sums in proportion to their ability. All should have a share. Our boys will give their lives to make America safe for you. They will make the supreme sacrifice to. preserve democracy. What will you sacrifice to give them a touch of home love and cheer, to help keep the home fires burning in their hearts? Whatever you can contribute should be given quickly. The severe bitter months are just ahead. - The time is short in which to meet the urgent needs. Action must be immediate. For the sake of all that is best give give until it costs sacrifice -give as you have never conceived possible heretofore '.give for our boys in khaki!

Wayne county must subscribe $25,000. This quota is not too high. It is not beyond our reach. It will not entail heroic sacrifice. No, it will ask only the giving of a few dollars from our superfluity. We have the money. Are we going to hoard it to our breasts like misers, or give it like the Good Samaritan? The answer rests with each of us. ; So much is sure, the conscience of every man is the dictator of his pocketbook. If you give $10 when by rights you should give $100, then your conscience will reproach and torture you. If you give according to the measure with which a Providence has blessed you, your conscience will give that approval which always falls like a benediction on a meritorious deed.

V? Gov lOMthlton

Those of us who have sons and brothers in the service, perhaps have a keener appreciation of the service of the Y. M. C. A. We know what the boys want and how immensely they enjoy the comforts which our government cannot provide, but which the Y. M. C. A. puts at their disposal. We know that the dollar given for the Y. M. C.

A. will brine hundreds of smiles, hundreds of

happy hearts, hundreds of expressions of thanks

from boys who are not quailing before a sacri fice, monumental in extent and vicarious in ef feet.

We have read their letters, heard, their camp

stories, listened with pardonable pride m our hearts to the wish that they might soon be in ac

tion.

We have seen their thankfulness for the comfort kits, the sweaters, socks, wristlets and hel

mets we gave them. We are going to back these boys to the limit if it means that we cannot buy new clothes and have to cut down our rations. There are thousands of boys who have no fathers and mothers living, no brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts to cheer them. - For those downcast boys who envy the chaps that get a box from home, a letter from a relative, the Y. M. C. A. is a godsend and the nearest thing to home this side of heaven. It's the only cheerful place where they can fight the blue devils and keep up their morale. - Into the Y. M. C. A. building will go trained secretaries. Men who have taken care of our boys when they were at home, men who know what is wrong when a fellow gets down in the mouth, men who have the tact ahd experience to nurse the spirits of those boys back to the normal, and send them out with new ambitions and loftier ideals.

, NUR8ERY RHYMES Bye, Baby Bunting. Papa's gone a-huntlng. He hopes a precious egg to find, And if he flndr one, baby mine, We'll buy a lot of bonds at par. Also a handsome touring car. Sing a song of sixpence, Pocket full of rye, Father broke the bottle That's the reason why. Little Miss Muffet . . 8at in a tuffet. Scanning the bill of fare. Knew not what to take. She couldn't buy steak. For she had no $10 to spare. WHY IS A PASTOR LIKE A TURKEY? Headline in a Schenectady paper: "WILL PICK PASTOR ON THANKSGIVING DAY." Stranger held up and robbed within two blocks of a New York police station. If he hadn't been a stranger he wouldn't have gone so near the station. The man with the best memory in the world lives in Albany. He can remember the time when Villa and Carranza and Mrs. Pankliurst used to get on the first page. SINCE THEY HAVE STOPPED MAKING IT.

Old Father Hubbard Went to the cupboard To get his poor self a drink. But when he got there The cupboard was bare, So he got him a drink at the sink. Tough. The very idea of trying to make any newly married couple adopt a sweetlees day.

Have you tried codfish for the Thanksgiving dinner? If not, you will have an excellent opportunity to do so this year. SUGGESTION Cartoonist Why don't you draw a cartoon with the original idea of a flock of aeroplanes flying out of an eagle's nest and Balling over the Atlantic? Pro Bono Publico Wry don't you write a letter to the paper telling us just when the war is going to cease and how mauy food calories there are left in Germany? Fillum Manufacturer Why not give something new in shape of an Alaska camp picture with dance hall women falling in love with young prospector? Press Representative Why don't you frame up a story along an entire

ly original line, for Instance, what your star la doing in the war of send

ing out her photoghaphs to aid Uncle

earn in tne war?

From " an up-state paper: "The

funeral services were hell - at the church Friday afternoon."

One of Btarts out: west "

Same old stuff. To make It novel, they should have the sun set In the east once In a while. More originality, please. ' H. C. of K note: When the white football chrysanthemums become slightly wilted they can be made into an excellent salad. We know a certain column writer who started twenty years ago with only a Canadian half dollar, and Is now worth $100,000. His accumulation of wealth Is owing to his frugality, good habits, strict attention to business and the fact that an uncle died and left him $99,999. Grandpa Ribbins, of Utlca, N. Y., is believed to be the oldest man in this country. He says he remembers when they used to throw eggs at actors. What a compliment that would be nowadays.. .

There Is a wealthy old gentleman in Wndhlnetnti" who has always Kiven

his young nephew to understand that he would be his heir. Not long ago the old gentleman had an attack of

illness and lor a while it looked as

if it were all up with him. wnen a

turn came for the better he said to his physician: "So, doctor, you think there is hope for me?" "Not only that," said the doctor, "but I can assure you that you are out of danger." "Thank you," said the old gentleman. "I wish you would inform my nephew, but, please, break the news to him gently." An Italian, having applied for citizenship, was being examined in the naturalization court.

"Who Is the president of the United States?" "Mr. WHsV "Who is the vice president?" "Mr. Marsh." "If the president should die, who then would be president?" "Mr. Marsh'." "Could you be president?" "No." "Why?" "Mister, you 'scuse, please. I vera busy worka da mine." A Wyoming man tells of a man in that state who was taken into custody on the charge of making counterfeit money. . - - During the course of his prelimirary examination the magistrate said: "So you admit having been engaged In making counterfeit bills?" "Yes, your honor," responded the culprit, "and 1 thought it was all right.

You see, the supply of the genuine article is so very, very short."

8AVED FROM OPERATION. "Some weeks ago I was stricken with acute appendicitis and my physician ordered an immediate operation. Uut, my mother laaring the result of an operation, on account of ray delicate health, applied hot applications of Denver Mud. I had Immediate relief, was saved from an operation, and have felt no return from the trouble since. So, whenever I hear of anyone having- appendicitis I suggest using Denver Mud before an operation. "MISS M. E. SHUFP."

Suppose', father and mother, that you knew

tdnight that your boy was returning from steel

swept trenches, covered with mud, hungry, longing for a place where he might take a bath,

change his clothes, smoke a pipe and read a book, would you not wire him $25 to buy the comforts

for which he is pining. ' Would you not travel thousands of miles and spend hundreds of dollars to see that your boy was surrounded with a healthy environment and provided with wholesome amusements? Assuredly you would. You would forfeit your right to be called father and mother if these were not the sentiments in your heart.

But in the very nature of the case you cannot do these things. Space and military exigencies preclude the carrying out of your parental wish. Here's where the Y. M. C. A. steps in. It wants to do the very things you want to do but cannot do. It is admirably adapted by its organization to the task. It has governmental sanction for its work. It has the highest approval of all, namely, the unqualified endorsement of the boys themselves. What is to prevent or curtail the execution of this great work? "

If you love your boys, do your bit in the Y. M. C. A. campaign. What Others Say About the Y. M. C. A. tsv t EWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War: "For many

I years the Y. M. C. A. has been established as a ' '. prominent feature of army life in times of'peace. The war, however, has developed for it a degree of prominence far larger and a field of usefulness far wider than even its friends could have hoped. Its capacity for mobilization on a large scale and the readiness with which it

has fitted itself to the needs of the troops in trainingcamps and trenches in this great world war make it an indispensable factor in any future military plans. It provides for the social side the home side of the life of the soldier and its influence in rationalizing the strange environment into which this crisis has plunged our young men has been and will be most beneficent." Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy: 'From every standpoint, military, political, moral, it is our duty to protect these youths so we can say to the mothers when the war is over, 'We return your sons -as worthy of your family circle as when they left it." " Major-General John J. Pershing (recent cable from France): "The work now being done by the Y. M. C. A. for the comfort and entertainment of our soldiers in France is very important. As an organization, its moral influence is highly beneficial. It performs a real Bervice that makes for contentment. The Y. M. C. A. has won its place by unselfish personal devotion to the soldiers' welfare and deserves staunch support by our people at home."

, THE KAI8ER'S DREAM (By Request) There's a story current, though strange It mar seem. Of the great Kaiser Bill and his wonderful dream; Being tired of the allies he lay down in bed, Ahd among other thiugs, be dreamed he wa3 dead And in a fine casket, lying in state, With a guard of brave Tommies, who ' mourned his fate. He was not long dead when he found to his cost That his soul, like his soldiers', would ere long be lost. On leaving this earth to heaven he . went straight; On arriving there, '116 gave a knock at the gate. f St. Peter looked out; then, In voice loud and clear. Said: "Try down below, Bill, you can't get in here." "Och," said the kaiser. "I call-that uncivil, But a welcome I'll pet from my old friend, -the devil." He turned on his h&el and away he did so

At the top of full speed to the region below. - When he arrived there he was filled with dismay. For while standing outside he heard Old Nick say (to his imps) "Look here, boys, I'll give you all warning, I'm expecting the kaiser down here this morning, But don't let him in, for to me it is clear He is after my job and we want no scabs here ; If once he gets in, there'll be no end of quarrels, In fact, I'm afraid he'll corrupt our good morals." "Oh, Satan, dear friend,"1 the kaiser then cried, "Excuse me for listening while waiting outside, If you don't want me here, then where can I go?" "By gosh!" said the devil, Tin darned if I know!" "Oh, do let me in, I'm feeling quite cold. And if you want money, I've plenty of gold; Let me sit in the corner, now you are my boss, Then 111 decorate you with an iron cross; Thought I'd lick the allies, but found I could not." , "No, no," said the devil, "most certainly not; . I don't allow folks here with riches or pelf. Here are sulphur and matches, make a hell for yourself." He jumped from his bed in a shivering sweat. And said: "That's a dream I shall never forget.

WASHINGTON One of the most interesting scenes in the latest William Fox photodrama "Conscience" in which Miss Gladys Brockwell, the famous star, will appear at the Washington theater today, is the wonderful wedding ceremony in vhich more than five hundred men women and children participated. The scene is made more realistic by the five cut little children dressed in quaint dresses who act as pages and flower girls.

That I won't go to heaven, I know very well. But it's reclly too awful to be kicked out of hell." ANON.
