$3.50 FOR "Y" FUND
ASKED OF DAWSON
COMMITTEE is NO WAT WORK,
AND NO TROUBLE IN RAISING
AMOUNT is ANTICIPATED.

Those who know most of the great
constructive work of the Young
Mems Christian Association are the
most willing to contribute to the
funds needed for its varied activities.
The leaders of this organization are
men of broad vision, and are con-
stantly studying the field and laying
plans in a big way to meet world
needs.
Any one at all familiar with bust
ness methods understands that to ex-
tend this work on the scale outlined
will require a great deal of money.
There is call right now for an ad-
ditional sum of one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars to be
used specifically for the training of
workers.
Those who are right in touch with
conditions deem it best not to draw
on the general fund for this purpose.
Dawson is asked to contribute only
two hundred and fifty dollars, and no
trouble is anticipated in raising the
amount in very short time. The
ministers of the city have laid the
matter before their congregations,
giving it hearty endorsement, and
committees are already at work. If
you feel disposed to have a part in
the movement it will help wonderful
ly if you act promptly.
There has been a nationwide
awakening to the responsibility of
safeguarding the soldiers in camp as
we'll as creating the very best envi-
ronments for the development of
young manhood not yet called to the
colors.

EPWORTH LEAGUE SOCIAL
MOST Enjoyable OCCASION
Splendid Program Entertained Large

League Is Steadily Increasing.

Splendid Program Entertained Large
Gathering. Membership of the
League Is Steadily Increasing.
Dawson has one of the most en-
thusiastic Epworth Leagues in the
South Georgia conference, number
ing fifty-eight bright boys and girls
in the teen age. In their different
forms of activity the influence for
good is far reaching. The culture
and recreation department, Miss
Frances Peddy, superintendent, looks
to the planning of wholesome amuse-
ment for the members.
A very delightful occasion was the
patriotic" social Friday evening in
the annex of the Methodist church,
under the direction of Miss Sharp,
who very generously gave of her
time and talent to assisting Miss
Peddy in arranging the following
program: "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." At the close of the song the
salute to the flag was given as the
company repeated in concert the
pledge of allegiance. Poem, "Colum-
bia," Louis Petty; piano solo, Cor
rine Lewis; vocal solo, Miss Nellie
Laing.
All joined in singing america"
which was the closing number of the
very enjoyable program.
The "war games" brought every
one into lively contests that quick
ened the mentality as we'll as keep
ing everybody highly amused. In the
post card tumble" the object was
for each person to make the largest
number of completed pictures in a
given time. Another was the MAX
ing of as many small words as posi-
bic from Woodrow Wilson in a Civ
en- time.
After the merriest sort of a time
the young folks enjoyed light re-
freshments in perfect accord with
the war time food conservation.
The aim of the league is to feed
the mind and soul as we'll as look
after the best physical development.

WAS GENERALLY OBSERVED
Not Too Late to Get in Campaign
For the City Beautiful.

AS usual cleanup week was OBJ
served by practically the entire city,
and in the last few days the street
carts have moved quantities of trash
and rubbish.
If you did not get in the cleanup
campaign for the city beautiful last
week there is yet time to enlist in
this important movement. To avoid
sickness we must continue the fight
on flies and mosquitoes, and the only
way to rid the community of these
pests is to destroy the breeding
places by making a clean sweep of
trash piles, tin cans, etc.

Congressman Bell Is at Work on a
Plan For Such Service.
That an aeroplane military mail
service between Washington and At
lanta be established to connect with
similar service already decided up
on between Washington and New
York is the plan of Congressman
Thomas NJ. Bell, of the Ninth Geor-
gia district.
That this proposed plan is some
thing more than a suggestion may be
understood by the knowledge that
Congressman Bell is vice chairman of
the house committee on postoffice
and post roads and when he goes out
after a proposition it is with that
official standing and influence that
means something.
The vice chairman today placed
the matter squarely before the post
office department and pointed out the
numberless advantages.

Contrary to what you might ex-

this country in the past year than
ever. According to the department of

LITTLE GIRLS COMPOSITION
ON MEN AND WOMEN

A little girl wrote the following
composition on men; "Men are what
women marry. They drink and
smoke, but don't go to church. Per-
haps if they wore bonnets they
would. They are more logical than
woman, also more geological. Both
men and women sprang from mon
keys, but the women sprang farther

Mr.. Lowe started his address by
saying that this country was at war.

He told of his experience in the

soldiers upon children and women,
and of the treachery Of the German
officers.
"The war is just beginning for u.s."
said Mr.. Lowe, "and you people must
