hear 1t said that so many people
feel that they cannot condemn these
slackers, who are not willing to do
their daty toward backing up these
boys, for fear that they would lose
their friendship or maybe their busi-
ness, and while do not wish to men
tion myself in such affairs still
feel that there is no better way of
expressing it than as I have previ-
ously stated some time in the press,
II had rather have the love and
friendship of one soldier boy, his
mother, father or wife than that of
ten thousand people who ere not do
ing their duty toward backing up
these boys" My observation from a
business standpoint as we'll as So
cially, is that where you lose the
friendship of one person for con-
demning the shortcomings of people,
you are sure to make one hundred
newborn friends.
/ again wish to say thet would
like for you to express to the mem
bers of your Council of Defense who
had the nerve to sign this report,
my appreciation for what they have
done.
With kindest personal regards, I
am, Sincerely yours,

TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS
OF THE COUNTY OF OBION

Dear Boys ana GlrlS: AT last Ine
time has come for us to show what
we can do in helping to win this war.
The older folks have been SO busy
they forgot all about us. But now
we have our chance and of course we
are not going to fall down.
Since we cannot go to the front
and fight we can do the next best
thing. We can help to care for the
boys who arc fighting for us, by pro-
viding Y. M. c. A. huts and other
needful things for them. We can
give them the home comforts in these
"Y" huts. Think how proud your
brother, or your friend, will be when
he learns you have helped to make
him comfortable with the "Y' huts,
etc. If he were at home you would
work hard for money to give him a
Christmas present. Maybe you are
planning to send him one any way.
About the best present you could
6iNC ulh VIII uS SoiC AOi hllil III thC
"Y' hut for a while. 1t will cost 81
a week for you to do that. How
many weeks will you provide for
him?
Now, how many of you boys and
girls will come to Union City next
Saturday for the county convention
to be held at the courthouse at 1
p. M? This is to be your conven-
ton. We want to tell you more
about how you can help do this
work. If you are in sol you
will give thru your schoI If you
are not in school talk with the teach
er in your school district. She will
help you. Remember the drive be-
gins Monday, Nov. IL.
Every child should give something
even if it is not large gift. All
under twelve may give as much as
they care to. Those over twelve
will be asked to earn and give at
least 81. 1t will be a sorry boy or
girl who is over twelve who could
not earn and give 81 for our soldier
boys by the first of March Every
one earning and giving 81 or more
will be given button to wear. Near
ly all the high school boys and girls
can earn and give SIS or more by
March 1. The High School at Paris,
Tenn, has pledged $1,000. They
are going to earn cents a day for
100 days. That will make them $5
givers. Every high. school boy or
girl could do that. There are lots
of ways you can find to earn your
money.
Remember every cent of the mon
ey you give must be earned by you.
You must not ask anyone to give
you anything for your gift. Only
those under eighteen can get into
this Earn and Give" drive. Save
every nickel that you have been
spending for candy, chewing gum
and other things and put it into this
work. Why not give all your Christ
mas gifts this way? If your own
brothers and cousins and friends can
go fight for us and give their hands
and legs and some of them give their
lives, why can't we earn and give
a big gift to make them happy and
comfortable? Let every boy and
girl do their best for our soldier
boys.

GOING over THE TOP
Mr.. jerks Sees Open Seas and
Bon Voyage.

"The organization of the county
forces for the big drive to raise our
quota of the United War Work Fund
of $17O,50O,000 to brighten the
lives of our boys who are fighting, is
now practically perfected and l an

ty. He has been asked many ques-
tions, however, indicating that every

1.-THE United War Work Fund is
being raised at tho request of Prcsi-
dent Wilson," he said.
'It is to be expended thru channels
with which everyone is already fa-
miliar, tho they may not recognize
these agencies under the name OF
the United War Work. The fund OF
this meme is to be u1ed in the work
of the Y. M. G. A., the Y. w. c. A.,
the National Catholic War Council,
or knights of Columbus, the Jewish
Welfare Board, the War Camp Com
munity Service, the American LII
brary Association and the Salvation
Army. These organizations have
been officially recognized by the War
Department and they are now to be
financed by the United War Work
Fund. Their work with this fund is
to go forward without any relation
to any creed or religion or propa-
ganda of any sort. The sole object
of these organizations will be to
serve the soldiers and sailors.
The fund, when raised, will be
apportioned as follows:
Y. M. C. A., $1O0,00O,O0O; Y. W..
c. A., $15,000,O00; National Catho-
lie War Council, 100000, 200; Jew
