Music From Home Wins Eternal Gratitude of Men Serving Overseas

AN ENDORSEMENT UNITED WAR WORK November 11, 1918. Wayne County's Quota, $100,000. This is a time of unity of action . and conservation of forces. Never waa a war conducted in which conserration of men morally, physically and mentally waa given too much consideration. The best of medical attention Is given our soldiers and sailors. No nobler service is being rendered than that of the Red Cross. We must see that our men are cared for outside as well as Inside the trenches, off ship as well as on. - That is the reason of the United War Work Campaign. Through such funds our men are furnished with attractive surroundings, clean entertainments, healthful sports, and proper social opportunities. The morale of the men must be kept at one hundred percent. These men are fighting for us. Shall we deny them the best it is possible to give when they are making supreme sacrifices? America Is sending her best manhood to the front. Let us keep it so by contributing to the United War Work Campaign. HOWARD A. DILL, President. Richmond Commercial Club.

tmww vnnrc. N. Y.. Oct. 30. The

National Phonograph-Records Recruiting Corps, with headquarters at 21 East 40th street. New York city, has sent out a call to phonograph owners to help win the war by turning over all their "slacker records" those discarded or idle in the bottom of the pile to help the corps comply with many requests from our boys who crave canned music. One such appeal is from Raymond N. Hale, now serving with the U. S. N R. in France who writes: "There are four of us here from Connecticut who have been 'Over Here' seven months doing duty off the French coast. We have much to be grateful for the many articles of

warm clothing that the Red Cross has generously sent to us and they have helped us in the cold stormy weather

Lto keep very comfortable, but there is

one thing that we miss greatly to cheer us after a trying day and during our periods off watch, and that is music. We have very little opportunity to enjoy this luxury as our shore liberty is limited and uncertain, and good music is difficult to find here. ,- ': "We thought that perhaps some one who is interested in the boys who, when at home, enjoyed the Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony and musical artists whom we all knew and appreciated, would be in a position to send us a small phonograph, one that

has perhaps been put away on a shelf In some home. . "If such a person would care to help to 'brighten our corner please send Just -a few records from 'over there.' I am sure you will win the everlasting gratitude of our men." By this time Hale has received his records but there are thousands of other, men fighting overseas who are 8 till waiting for a supply of canned music. However, the PhonographRecords Recruiting corps believes that during the week of the national drive, more than a million records will be accumulated for distribution among our soldiers and sailors. The local committee in Richmond is particularly anxious to make a showing in the campaign and , the members call on all who now have slacker records to send them to the different talking machine stores or the Kresge store.

Earlham Day Students Recite Their Lessons on Professor's Doorstep: Earlham college day students who were not able to enter Bundy dormitory at the time the college was closed to outsiders, have been receiving their assignments by telephone, and making weekly "doorstep only" calls on their professors ' when personal Instruction was necessary, so it is thought that the entire enrollment will be able to proceed without delay with their regular work when the tan is lifted. Various forms of amusements have been arranged by those students who have been confined to the campu3, and by this means the quarantine ruling has been very successfully enforced.
