YOUR LIBERTY BOND
WILL HELP LIFT ST. MARY's
CHURCH OUT OF DEBT.

The following suggestions are OFFER
ed in the hope that they may prove
helpful and make lighter and easier
and more pleasant the giving of Lib
erty Bonds to the church debt cam
paign, Sunday, December 23rd,
4 /. The giving Of Liberty K Bonds
need necessitate neither a change In
your Christmas plans nor cause you
to abstract one cent from your Christ
mas fund. Your Liberty Bond is
neither part Of your Christmas saw
ings, nor is it factor in your Christ
mas plans. Give it to the church
and carry out your plans and do your
Christmas shopping as per your ar
ranged schedule.
ii. In case you do not possess a
bond, do your bit with cash-give the
money. e.
III. In case you have disposed of
your Bond and invested the money,
go to your banker and make arrange
ments to get the required amount,
and pay interest on it, the same as
you would do in any business trans
action.
w. In case you are unable either
to give Bond, or the equivalent in
money, do what you can-the widows
mite is as welcome as the larger Of
fering of the rich.--do what yod can
that will be your part. saaan.'
Let us take advantage of the
Christmas time to get out of debt.
Times win not be better very soon,
If anything, will become harder and
harder Remember we are in war
the greatest of world wars-so let us
take no chances on the future. Let
us rid ourselves Of the debt and pre-
pare ourselves the better to take care
of the duties Of the future. We owe
it to our community to do this to get
out Of the way all those things which
would prevent or handicap or make
more difficult the doing of our part.

debt, we win have $4,000 a year more
to- contribute to Red Cross, X. of C..

need every BIT Of assistance we can
give to them, and it is our patriotic
duty to fit ourselves to do our duty
and our part in these trying war
times. A word of warning to those
members who are either Indifferent
or openly hostile and active in their
efforts to defeat the purpose of this
campaign. We are in It, and let us
finish it in a manner worthy a Cath
olic Congregation. Every one to the

GIVE UNCLE SAM YOUR NAME
Country viii Need Huge Industrial
Army Next Year-Enroll With
the Service Reserve.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE work
man who can help build ships has now
the opportunity to serve his country,
at good wages, practically as much as
if he actually enlisted for duty in
France" said VIM. Edwin Hall, ma
tional director of the U. S. Public
Service Reserve at the Department of
Labor today. "The big army we are
developing win never be able to go
to France and fight for us unless we
civilians build the ships. We've got
to build 100000 tons of vessels next
year, or our National Army will be
all dressed up with no place to CO.
This is ten times as much as all we
built last year. More than a third
of the total is to be done in the Pa
cifc Coast yards, Skilled 1nechan-
les are badly needed now, and thous-
ands of semi-skilled men will be re-
CURED soon. The U. S. Public Ser
vice Reserve wants to get in touch
with men not doing war work who
will be able to help build these shops.
by enrolling in the Reserve, the
patriotic worker who is at present en-
gagged in non-essential industry win
enable the Government to have rec
ord of his abilities, his name and adj
dress and present occupation, so that
when a great need arises for a man
of his type the Government can in
form him and obtain his services pro-
vided he is satisfied with the wages
and conditions offered"
State organizations of the U. S.
Public Service Reserve are being APP
pointed so that every workman in the
Northwest who is not doing war work
but wants to really serve the country
without leaving civilian life can be
come a member of the great patriotic
industrial army.
"The patriotism Of the labor unions
in backing up this movement of the
Government to enroll workers in the
u. 8. Public Service Reserve is very
gratifying, not only in the Northwest
but all over the country said Mr..
Hall.

MEMBER OF BOARD
HAMILTON T. MOORE SUCCEEDS
A. w. HoLLINGsWoRTH

Hamilton J. Moore of Jefferson
township, a prominent Mahaska CO.
unity farmer and republican, was APP
pointed as successor to A. w. Holdings
worth of Rose Hill, resigned member
of the board of supervisors of Mahaska
county, at called meeting of the
clerk of the Mahaska county court.
w. T. Martin, the county recorder,
Dave B. Hawkins, and the county
auditor, Roy E. Rowland, held at the
court house Tuesday, December 18th,
1917. The appointment will take effect
January 2, 1918, and will continue
through the year 1918, and until a
successor elected and qualified.
/, Mr.. Morre is a well known farmer
and stockman of Jefferson township.
He has long. been trustee of the
township, and at present is member
of the board of directors OF MalIaska
Hospital. During the last primary
election Moore was candidate for
nomination as supervisor on the Rep
ublican ticket, but was defeated by
Mr. Hollingsworth. -
Mr. HolHngSWortnS resignation was
reluctantly considered and accepted
by the board OF supervisors. But i'll
health brought about the action and
caused the acceptance. Mr.. Holdings
worth and his son will soon leave for
the south, where they will spend the
winter. The board member has been
in i'll health for a year or more to
the extent that his ailments interfered
with his business. He felt that he
was doing an injustice to the county
in remaining on the board when he
could not hope to give the position
the time nor the thought it required
and he knew he was doing himself
harm by contipueing to worry, caused
by remaining on the job, Hence the
determination to resign. q Is@.@
The selection of Mr.. Moore as the
successor to the position is most
satisfactory solution Of the problem
presented in Mr.. Hollingsworth's re-
signation. ....- 81.
