By PAUL PREP

E'RANK sHEA's remarkable running
in the recent intercollegiate cham

yards In the sensational time of AZ Sec

Since that time many athletes have
attempted to smash or even equal Long s
feat, but thus far no one has beer
successful. Even Ted Meredith, the
former University Of Pennsyivana star
one of the greatest quarter milers and
half milers that ever trod a cinder path
was unable to gain this objective. Some
critics believe that Shea. who ran a
~ 3-5 seconds Quarter on Franklin Field
this spring, may do Al seconds quar-
ter before long.

In the opinion of Frank Farrell, the
athletic coach at the University OF
Michigan, Maxey Long was the greatest
runner of them all. Long didn't care
where he ran, what distances he ran,
and in what kind of clothes he CON-
peted in. According to Farrell, Long
accepted invitations to run in meets.

he was on his mark.
IT remember well one hig meet said
the Michigan tutor the other day. IN a

good steppers. Of course. we knew what
Long could do, and we bet heavily on
him.

he was. and that settled 1t. told

SUNDAY, OCT. SIXTH AT
 THE M. F.. CHURCH
Day Has Been Set Aside As Libery Sunday and 1t Is
 Your Patriotic Duty
 to Be Present

Sunday, October the sixth has been set aside by the Sec retary of the Treasury, Wm, G. McAdoo, as Liberty Sunday.
 This is not simply call to the ministers to preach on some line of patriotic support of the government in these trying times, but it is a call for the people, every citizen, to meet Sunday, Oct. 9th, that every heart, hand and voice may be enlisted to make the Fourth Liberty Loan a success.
 In obedience to this call, we very earnestly request that all the people in McCrory be pres ent Sunday morning at II zoo o'clock either at the Methodist church or some other church in town or where it will be most convenient for you.
 The service will bel in the interest of the above named cause. Our boys in the trench es of France are leading us to victory and with the might of America behind them, the doom of the Kaiser and all that he represents is sealed.
 Be present and help to make the service what you feel such service should be, at a time when such glorious victories are being won.

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
or of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 500 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in a report just received
by her from Col. william A. Barker
OF the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over a year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
"We will do all we can to f1ll this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, land the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work of the seven or
CARNATIONS, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is a vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each is
indispensable, serving it's particular
elements In its own way. %
'"The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared In privation and
trained to every phase of human mis-
cry and how to cope with it. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
"We are Of the common people, and
we toll on a practical basis. We learn
ed the lesson of how to do 1t In the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops ard weathered it
out to the end We have been tried
by IRE, and the mothers and fathers
of America, as in other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men IL
they but had the chance.
with 1910 trained workers at the
front, operating from 400 huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do its
best for the cause Of humanity and
Liberty"
