tive and sympathetic. It was sad to hear him say that before the budding of the trees he ex- pected to be in France. We feel so sorry for his dear wife but yet we feel like that men of his ability are needed so badly in the camps and trenches to cheer and help the millions of heart broken young men. We can't help but say for him to go, as he feels that it is his duty. As for us, we need men like him at home, but we do not know how to sympathize with those boys in the service unless we could just see and hear it explained, and as for home we should sacri- flee all for the comfort and vel fare of our noble boys. We feel that if Bro Hoy is loved and ap- preciated over there among the soldiers as he is here with us, that he will be worth so much to them as comforter and guide.
 Lowell Parke got kicked by a Ford this afternoon and it is thought that his wrist is thrown out of place, but we hope it is not serious.

Will not take time to itemize it, but will give the total amount of money that our 2. s. had means of raising. without the $500 as mentioned above, the amount is $525.25 for our s. s. alone, leaving out the amount that was paid by our members to the General Collec- tion of the Red Cross and Y M c A war fund, which was a very nice sum alone. Our s. s. and league are doing good work and hope to do better in the future.
 The Cemetery Association met last Wednesday night and elect ed the following officers: J T Nally. President and Treasurer; w A Green. Vice-President; J T Oberg, Secretary; R E Hawkins. Assistant Secretary. The Ex- ecutive Committee elected was as follows: J B Burke, E A Black, G w Young, H c John- son, w A Cook. We hope that everyone interested in the cem- etery in any way will not be a stacker but will come forward and pay the $1. 20 levied on each member as an assessment to be paid annually for the purpose of keeping up the work.
 There was box supper and a cake voting given at the home of w A Cook last Wednesday night for the purpose of raising the balance of our pastors sal ary, The amount raised on our our boxes was $54. 35 and Misses Julia Stinnett and Louise Schn- able were nominated and voted on as the prettiest girls. The cake brought $50. 40, making a total of $l04,7 75, Mrs Stinnett being the winner. A nice sum for a good cause.

URGES HIS SON TO
FIGHT FOR COUNTRY
M. COHEN, MARTiNSBURG MER
CHANT, WRITES HIS BOY TO ,
DISPLAY PATRIOTISM.

In a letter to his son, Sol CoEen.
of Bluefield, w. Va, who some time
ago enlisted in the service of his
country, M. Cohen, the well known
North Queen street merchant, says as
follows:
My Dear Son.
1t is very hard for me to reply to
your letter, especially when 4 ctild
asks a father whether he should of
feI his ambition, time. relatives,
friends, and God knows, maybe his
life.
My dear son, my mind cannot per-
form it's work when ! think that this
time has come to an American citi-
zen. America truly is a land Of free.
dom and the whole word looks to US
to free the world forever from autoc-
r1cy. and now to think that in this
free country the time has come when
our children have to be taken away
from us.
But, my dear son, do not shirk your
duty. 1t is true that you owe a duty
TO your parents, sister, brother and
your friends, but you owe a greater
duty to your country, and l would
not be a worthy father were | to try
and stop you from doing your duty as
a man.
Don't forget that our country shel.
ters over three. million of your breth-
rem whose forefathers have been
abused and kicked out of countries
across the water, and even today your
own brothers are suffering countless
prosecutions.
Forget not that the blood of the
Macabees courses through your veins
and that you are of a nation that has
always paid it's debt to mankind.
| envy your youth, that you are
ambitious to do something for your
country, and with a full heart and the
best wishes of a loving father I give
you my full consent to go and do
your "bit."
Accept the blessing of a Jewish
nation and also the blessings from
your forefathers of whom you can be
justly proud, and especially the bless
ings of your dear mother and me, and
may you be successful in your I'M
dertaking and that we will once more
you safe in our arms after you
have been instrumental in freeing this
earth forever from Prussian autoc-
racy and militarism.
Keep us posted as to every step that
you take, and you must come home
before you go to your cantonment.
My God bless you.
Your loving father,
M. COHEN.
