HELP BRING BOYS BACK
Liberty Bond Purchases VIII Help
Protect Anne Arundel Youths
In The Trenches

AS you walk along the streets of
Anne Arundel any evening you prob
ably notice the absence of many faces
which a year ago were quite familiar.
Many of them-bright, ambitious,
smiling young chaps-have quit the
pursuits of civil life 10 don the armor
of the soldier to help fight the battle
for liberty and humanity. A number
OF them have alrady crossed the At
lantic and some Of them are, no doubt,
at this very moment in the front-line
trenches or helping drive the Teuton
forces back Their smiles. we hope,
have not disappeared but grim deter
mination has steeled their hearts to do
their bit to wipe the last vestige of
"kultur" and Prussian militarism
from the face of the earth.
You and | want TO bring these boys
every one of them safely bask home.
of our daily life. even If we cannot
boast of a service flag in the window,
denoting a vacant chair at the table.
But before we can expect TO see
them again we must see that they are
properly fed, clothed and furnished
with the guns and ammunition to ac-
complish the task they have set out to
do. Anne Arunders quota for the
fourth Liberty loan is 100000 5000
500 bonds. If you will buy but two
of these 500 bonds the money will
place 5000 machine gun rifle cart
ridges in the hands of some young
American gunner-very likely a Anne
Arundel boy. These cartridges will
not only help to lessen the total of
fighting Huns, but protect him from
attack and make his return more sure
Make your contribution-no. not a
contribution, just a loan-at least 81
600 cartridges. Then bu yanother 500
worth OF bonds to make it 5000 more.

SAVING MANURE
MEANS MONEY NOW

Late fall-any time before the
ground freezes-on most farms is the
easiset time to provide for making the
most out of the home supply of ma
nure. And this year, when CONNER
cial fertilizers are hig in price or i'm
possible to obtain, it is doubly essen
tial that we save every bit of the farm
manure
apply as fas as made" is the best
rule before the ground freezes, and
even later than that on level ground
But in hilly sections the farmers
doubtless are right in thinking there
is too much loss from the manure
washing down the hillside.

WHAT Y. N. c. A. IS
DOING IN FRANCE
Arthur B. Wheatley With An-eri-
can Expeditionary Force
Overseas
OF EXPERIENCE

The following interesting letter has
been received at this Office from Ar
thur B. wheatley. of this city. now a
Y. NJ c. A. athletic worker in France:
/ am writing a few lines to tell the
people at home some of the things
the Y NJ. c. A. has done for the men
in France.
canteen served $500 men; sales
amounting TO 5000 francs, by actual
count 200 men were in line at one
time. the last being served in As min
utes. Sales limited to francs.
Church services were held at 1880
and 1880 with attendance of 500 in
this camp. Services were also held
in all camps where "Y" men were
located
In the athletic department over
5000 men took part in some form of
sport in the past week
We served free of cost over 200
men with hot chocolate.
Another example of how the "Y"
gets to the men:
1t came to our notice that large
number of men would entrain at four
different points. Unless the "Y" got
on the job the men would be without
supper What actually happened,
the "Y'' established canteens at each
point and furnished free of cost four
packages of cigarettes, one package
of cakes, and a mess tin of hot tea
to each man. The "Yv men knew in
advance that it was So hours of work,
with no let up. We were divided in
four groups and raced to be the first
to get the fires burning Appreciation
was plainly shown on the face of each
man as he marched up to receive his
share.
Quoting Captain words:
when peace is declared the 'Y"
should be given full recognition for
tonight they have shown their worth"
individual work cannot be estab-
lished
Moving pictures were shown during
the week at one point to 400 men and
in cave very close to the German
lines, at the same time a Scotchman
gave a recital
Entertainments are held daily at the
base camp, by some of the best talept
the State can produce.
This is what the "Y'' is doing for
the men in only one division, others
are doing the same and possibly more.
This work grows on one and you
never tire of being at the service of
the fighting men, in this connection,
let me state that men past 40 years
cannot stand the strain of week-in
and week-out from 1880 to 10. To-
gether with irregular sleeping and
eating.
Sleeping on the grounds, in caves,
old buildings with part of roof, wet
for hours, and some times not
chance to change. Eating here and
there and some times nothing from
breakfast until breakfast 1t does not
seem that on the 18th of this month,
/ have been away from home for five
months, as time does not stand still
in France.
have slept in stables, barns, chick
en- houses and abbeys, chateaus, but
have not found cootie, a record few
can boast of
We have enjoyed wonderful weather
since June but as October approaches,
we are told to prepare for the rain.
Since leaving home, have enjoyed
the best of health when under the
one has to work
Hoping you are well and remember
me to Tom and the Court House

WILL TAKE POSSESSION
THE FIRST OF MONTH

Fred Bartlett for many years a
prominent farmer and business
man of Audubon county, but who
has of recent years been living at
Holstein, Iowa, has made deal
with j. H. Ross whereby he becomes
the owner of the Park Hotel, and
will take possession of the business
the first of August.
Mrs. Bartlett before her mar
riage to Mr. Bart lt, managed the
Park hotel for some time and she is
thoroughly familiar with the needs
of the community. They no doubt
will give Audubon the best hotel the
city has had for a long time, and the
people of the city will welcome
their return.
A. G.. Martin, the present pro-
prietor, has had the hotel leased by
the month since l.. ID. Ross quit the
business last spring. He has given
the public splendid service and has
worked up fine business. In an
interview with Mr.. Martin, he in
formed us that he would probably
remain after the expiration of his
lease, but that he had not fully made
up his mind what to do. He and
his wife are estimable people and
we hope they will decide to remain
in Audubon permanently.

ARE DOING OUR SHARE

Audubon women are making anti
vermin garments in response to a
call from the university which is
taking the lead this week Already
one shipment has been sent and
another one will soon be ready.
Most of the towns in Audubon and
adjoining neighboring counties are
organized for suits needed at once.
Gen. Pershing has cabled to send
more and more, but of course Iowa
women will take care of Iowa boys
first. and it is hoped that every boy
going from Camp Dodge will carry
with him suit of vermin proof I'M
der garments that defy the cootie.
II you have boy in the army or
camp call on Miss Francis Morrissey
who is acting chairman of this &C.
tivity and ask about the work. You
can help sew, give money or get q
pattern for ten cents and make a
suit for your own boy. 1t takes
four and half yards of this
muslin to make suit of "cootie
chasers" that brings comfort in the
trenches for the weary soldier. One
dollar just about covers the expen-
Sc of one suit with the work thrown
in. Don't you want to help? Reach
Mrs. John Weighten or Miss Fran
els Morrissey at once. Committee

NO MORE BASE BALL MEETS

The Western league was declared
officially dead at a meeting of the
magnates at Omaha Monday, the
season terminating Monday night.
This occasion, contemplated for the
past month, was unanimous on the
part of the various club presidents.
Mondays game completed the exact
half season and by playing it out the
league members retain their ter
ritorial rights and all players sub
ject to reorganization.
With the possible exception of
Wichita and Oklahoma City interest
has been at a low ebb all season and
attendance pitifully small. Nearly
every club in the league has dropped
$4,000 or more in vain attempt to
stem the tide and bring the fans out
to the parks as of yore. In adj
dition considerable sentiment as
regards the abandment of the nat
ional game until after the war enter
ed into the final dicision.

GLASS SIGN Is BROKEN

the large plate glass sign in front
of the German Savings Bank at Man.
ming Tuesday evening. We are told
that the bank officials refused to
change the name of the institution
and that it has become somewhat
obnoxious to many of the residents
in and about Manning who think
the name ought to be changed. A
resident of Manning in telling US
about the incident remarked that
they had no clue whatever to the
party or parties who did the job,
and no one semed especially anxious
to make any attempt at finding out.
II the loyal citizens of the commun-
ity have determined to make the Of
ficers change the name of the bank,
the sooner they make the change the
better 1t will be for the institution
as well as the community.
