Shortly after the declaration of war

McCOnochie, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES The
membership increased rapidly and is
today a strong organization. During
the fore part of November registra-
ton Of women was begun under the
direction of Mrs H A Weld as chair
man. A large corps Of workers Wis
tied every home in the city and so-
licited the name of each woman over

census OF the women power of the
city The information secured con-
corning the women OF the city has
been tabulated and indexed and has
already proved its worth in various
ways Women are able to secure
suitable employment, firms have been
able to procure just that help for
which they have been looking and did
not know where to turn to find it, and
there are many other ways where it is
proving its practicability.
Food conservation cards we're dis
tributed and pledges were signed
and sent to the government headquar-

exceptions, and these were largely due
to ignorance on the part OF the people,

AUCUsTANA COLLEGE SHOWS ITS LOYALTY
AS MORE THAN FOURTH OF BOYS ENLIST
By DIR, GUSTAV ANDREW.
president Augustana College,.

The work al Augustana college and
seminary has progressed well during
the fall term of 1917.
Both teachers and students feel we'll
satisfied with the character of the
work accoplished. The students have
shown an unusual degree of diligence
and earnestness, and have taken Il
smaller number of absences from reci-
tations than any term during recent
years can show. This earnestness on
the part OF the students may possibly
be a result of the stress and Of the
sense Of responsibility which the pres
ent war is bringing home to the con-
seriousness Of all The war also has
taken great toll from Augustana col
Iege. When President Wilson first
summoned young men to arms, more
than score of students from August
ana enlisted. including the Augustana
military band The majority of these
students are now at Camp Logan,
Houston. Texas. Since last spring an
other score Of students has enlisted
or have been drafted, SO that the whole
number of Augustana boys who now
are serving under the col0rs amounts
to 100. The names of all these stud
ents now in the army or navy will be
given in the next issue of the college
catalog, which is to be published in
March. One of the professors has also
enlisted, Professor Anton Udden, who
takes up his work in the important
army weather bureau department
Jan. /.
When we consider that the last cata-
log Of Augustana showed that there
were Ill young men in the college de-
partment, and that all the depart
ments had 400 young men enrolled, we
understand that Augustana has re-
sponded most periodically, when 100
of this number have already entered
the United States service And If the
war keeps on, another hundred will
no doubt be added to Uncle Sans lists.
The going of these college boys to
war has east its glamour upon work
Of the term, both in the class room and
outside of It.
Many patriotic meetings have been
held at our institution, the girls have
Knitted, arranged for programs and
bazaars for the benefit of war funds,
and taken special interest In the work
OF the Red Cross. Students and teach
ers have responded as literally as
their means allowed them in raising
means for the army Young Mems
Christian association fund, the Liberty
bonds, the local Red Cross, the Army
Lutheran Brotherhood, the national
drive for the benefit OF the Red Cross
and we are now ready for another
! drive" And we shall endeavor again
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1917-12-31

to do as We did in the campaign for
the Liberty bonds, when every teach
er, and even the office force. bought
bonds Zoe per cent and we will
keep on driving" as long as the war
lasts Daily do we pray for the sue
cess Of our American arms. for we be-
lieve and know that our country is
fighting a just war for the advance
ment of the hest interests of human
ity. As Bethlehem, where Christ was
born, fell into the hands of modern
crusaders as Christmas eift to us ali,
so we expect that America and the
allies will bring the blessings Of true
democracy and liberty as a gift to all
the world.
We look forward with confidence To
the new term ready to meet its duties
and problems, and hope that the school
year l919~lslS may be qualitatively
If not quantitatively, one of the strong
est and best years at Augustana.

Among Poor.
SECRETARY MADE 1872 CALLS
Association Maintains Home and Has
Been Supported BY Liberal Do
nations of Public.

The Associated Charities of Rock
Island has just closed a most salts
factory year. With the cooperation of
the board of directors and the various
churches and charitable organizations
OF the city it has been possible to re-
lieve a great deal of need among the
citys poor without leaving depend
ency in its wake. 1t is the policy of
the Associated Charities to Investigate
all cases and give relief only when
necessary 1t is further the policy to
adjust affairs as quickly as possible
in each case and put families in posi-
tons to help themselves, For this
work they have employed Mrs. Mary
Morgan as general secretary and mat
ron of the Association house at SGT
Seventeenth street.
There has been no canvass for funds
so far this year, because, up to the
present time, free will offerings and
subscriptions and liberal donations ri
clothing have been sufficient The
board of directors has hesitated to
start campaign for funds during the
great drive for war loans and the Red
Cross support. However, plans are
now being formulated TO raise money
for the need in home charities is
great and the public will be asked to
aid the Associated Charities financial
ly as we'll as in the giving of cloth
ing.

Music Language of Soul.

The meaning of music goes deep. 1t
Is the universal language of the soul.
Where speech fails, song Is only be
ginning. Music can make mems hearts
as steel in the face of battle, when
thousands are to be stricken down
and trumpled into the earth, or it can
melt these same hearts to tender love
and make them tremble at n sweet
hearts whisper. Music can cleanse
the soul for worship, or it can de
prave for the vilcst orgies. 1t uplifts,
and 1t debascs; 1t inspires to the high,
the sweet, the true, and it deadens TO
the gross and low, the vicious and the
henrtless. Freedom and love and fidel-
ity and praise-words that illumine all
language-wOuld be meaningless and
dead but for the spirit instllled into
them by song.-Exchange.

''We're havin' a little party of ouy own.
1 reckon you fellows had better beat
it. Undorstand?r
The outposts that had been sent to
cover the bank in both directions were
now coming in. Through the stiffness
of the night there sounded the thump
of oarloclss. Seeing that the stranger
did not seem to take his hint, Lewis
raised his voice menacingly:
"Thats your road back yonder. It's
n right good road, and I'd advise you
to travel fast"
But this suggestion was also ignored;
In fact It appeared to dmuse the man
addressed, for he, too, laughed. He
turned, and the women noticed that he
carried @ short saddle gun. They saw,
also, that at least one of the men at
his back was similarly armed.
"Now, what's the hurry?" The
stranger was chuckllng. Suddenly he
raised his voice and called loudly:
