Universal Military Service to Work No

There seems to be a popular impression quite
widespread that universal military service would entail
unnecessary sacrifice; that it would take our young
men from their homes their for long periods
of time, and that the training would extend over
long period Such impressions unfounded in fact
There are several proposed measures for the estab
lishment of national military service. None of these
conempates period of service of more than one year.
The simplest bill and the one which seems to me to
meet the requirements most satisfactorily is that

MEETING OF THE
KINGS DAUGHTERS

The regular monthly meeting of the
Kings Daughters was held at the
Methodist church Thursday afternoon.
The meeting while not largely attend
ed, was of interest and satisfaction.
The hour was only too short for the
work in hand, reading of minutes, re-
ports of committees for the past
month and work for the coming
month. The list of members was re-
vised, both paid and unpaid, prepar-
atory to sending out a collector for
dues for the year 1916. Ten new
names for membership have been
given in, voted upon and elected mem
bers of the order at the end of the
meeting. We were again surprised
and delighted with second gift OF
fifty dollars from gentleman too
modest and retiring to allow his name
to be made known to the public who
lis in deep sympathy with the work of
the order, and showed his confidence
and appreciation of the ability of the
order that the gift should be used in
the most satisfactory and economical
manner for the benefit of the unfor-
Itunate. Three times in the last two
months have we been the benefciaries
of these large gifts; large we say, for
the conditions and times through
which we are passing in the financial
world. We do express our most sin
|cere and hearty thanks to this gen.
tleman, not a banker or broker-a
man of modest means, who out of the
depths of his heart and nature has
recognized the brotherhood of man,
divided his substance to lift up his
fellow beings. and soothe and strength
ZEN them in their sickness and sorrow.
We also wish to express our thanks
for the monthly donations of the
Methodist church which help to swell
our treasury, and to all our friends
we feel grateful for past favors.
