| I iNOtkNtll anu MISS Eclutl ilOIlOi
spent last week at Camp Custer Wis
ting Mrs. Mallorys son, Clare. They
state the stories are erroneous In re-
gard TO the abuse Of enlisted men
They found the soldiers received good
care and plenty to eat. They found
them very busy with their respective
jobs and everyone with the same idea
of mind, that of being good soldiers
and trying to do their part. Clare
fully enjoys army life and states he
is always accorded the very best OF
treatment

new Ford car

With the coming Of good weather,

wel-filled church. If the Christian
conquest of the world is TO be won,
every Sunday school must be recruit
ed to full quota and those enlisted
must be trained for service as care
fully as our boys are being trained to
fight in the trenches. There is not a
more patriotic way Of serving your
nation and the world than by becom-
ing a regular attendant Of some Bible
school and in this way helping TO pro-
mote the highest possible degree Of
efficiency in Christian work. Be on
hand next Sunday and then get the
habit.
