 These seven national organi- cations have been summoned to take up War Work.
 In New York there is an exc cutive committee of thirty five. J. L. Mott is director of Nation al Campaign. The country is divided into 6 departments, agreeing with the 6 military de- partments. There are State Chairmen, and County and City Chairmen.'
 We know that all these or ganizations bring comfort and cheer to the men at the front.
 It is of the women's part in the campaign that l wish to speak. In this great world cri- sis, the women must and are taking one half of the responsi- bility. There never has been crisis that women didn't assist.
 The Young Woman's Chris tian Association is the oldest specific organization. It is 50 years old.
 Wherever there is a man problem there is also a woman problem. The morale of the women and girls has it's imme- diate effect on the men.
 The great work of the Y. w. c. A. has been the building of hostess houses. Women will go to see their men and a suita ble meeting place is necessary. In 81 camps there are hostess houses. There are 21 requests to build other hostess houses. Money is needed 60 meet these requests. There is often more than one house at each camp.
 The hostess houses are large buildings of the bungalow type, with a rest room, piano, cafe teria and place for babies while the wife or mother visits.
 Women from every walk of life come here to see their men Often they have spent their last cent and have nowhere to sleep. Temporary provision is made at the hostess house.
 When women come, they have a place to stay while the men are sent for.
 The hostess house is kept up and looked after by motherly women.
 Hardly second in importance to this work is the establish ment of rest and recreation rooms for the nurses who go and the women in the | plants.
 The chemicals used in some of the munition plants turn the hair and skin of girls yellow, and they are called the canary girls" They are marked for fife but are doing their bit.
 Great numbers of women and girls leave home and mothers and go to strange place to work in these plants. The rest rooms provided by the Y. w. c. A. furnish a place for whole some rest and amusement. a place where they can eat their lunch and listen to music and nave their games. So it becomes plain that women need to have things done for them as the soldiers do. If the morale of he women is kept up it reflects on the morale of the men. Then the men can fight better if they know their wives and sweethearts are being taken care of.
 The workers in the munition plants have the noise, danger , nd I fo

UNITED WAR WORK
 CAMPAIGN NOV. 11-18

The Red Cross and Y. M. C.. A. have conducted campaigns since the beginning of the War and the American People have responded literally. Vast sums have been asked for. When the Red Cross asked for $10O,OOO- GOO the People of our country opened their hearts and their pocket books mad the vast sum of S17O,OOO,OOO, was raised.
 There are six other organiza- tions working in the field and they need money to carry on their work. Instead of each or ganization conducting separate campaigns, seven organizations are going to unite in one under the name of the United War w. ork Campaign. These organ

ABOMINATIONS BOTH.

There lives in an eastern city man
who feels that American culture is be-
meath his notice. He is an American
citizen, but he was born in England
He acknowledges that America has
given him much money, position,
authority. He votes as an American
and lives as an Englishman. He
sneers at our customs. He wears q
monocle. He perpetually carries a
cane and wears spats~ He has an ac-
cent that he fondly believes is still
English. He has no pride in the fact
that he is an American citizen. To
all intents, he is an Englishman.
American citizenship he uses to make
American customs English. He is an
abomination.
There lives in the same city another
man who feels that American culture
is beneath his notice. He is an Ameri-
can citizen, but his father and mother
were born in Germany. He acknowl-
edges that America has given him all
the material things he has even
birth. He has position of authority.
He is rich. He votes as an American,
but he lives and thinks as a German.
He studied in a German university
and is immensely proud of saber
cut on his right cheek, received in a
duel. He sneers at American Gus
toms. He is proud of the fact that he
can speak the kaiser's language better
than his own. He eats German food
on principle. He talks German when
ever possible. To all intents he is a
German. He has no pride in the fact
that he is an American citizen. Ameri-
can citizenship he uses to make
American customs and ideas German.
He also is an abomination.
These two men are one of kind.
There are many like them in the
United States. Other citizens have
long looked upon them with amuse-
ment. They have found them inter-
esting. But they are fundamentally
alien. They do not belong to this
soil. And America has at last recog-
nized the fact.
The day when man can be an Ameri-
can so far as rights are concerned and
be an alien IN thought, customs, hab-
its, real life is gone. 1t is the duty
of every citizen of this country to en-
ter into the spirit of the country.
Even guest in foreign land should
feel the call to do as do the people
among whom he is staying Should
an American citizen have less regard
for his own country? --The Milwaukee
Journal.

THE object of this war is to deliver the free
peoples of the world from the menace and
the actual power of a vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsible govern
ment which, having secretly planned to dom
mate the world. proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sacred obli-
cations of treaty or the long established
ternational action and honor; which chose it's
own time for the war; delivered its blow
either of law or of mercy; swept whole con-

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts The war situation is critical.
- Unless the Allies fight they yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; nor hungry nations France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat It is the
best food to fight on. 1t is the easiest to ship We
alone spare it to them. By saving just little
support those who fighting our battles. And
do it without stintng ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good

surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of need. It has given in slch bounty

learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! 1t is the true American
food. The Indians hardest of races lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent. For great section of our country it
has blong cen the staff of life. How we'll the South
fought it. history tells. Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn Something-Corn! 1t isn't one food It's

It's dessert. It's nutritious; food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat eggs most other
vegetables It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn bread properly cooked
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are few
of its uses:
There at least fifty ways to corn me-

The following article taken
from last Fridays Milwaukee
Journal might we'll be read and
pondered over by a certain citi-
zen of Eagle River, who it is
claimed, has been sneering at
these United States, her attitude
in the present war, and uphold
ing Germany in her frightfulness.
Just the other day this man is
said to have made the statement
that after the war there would
he a soreness between Germans
and Americans in this country;
he also took personal offense at
the article published in the Villas
County News on January %,
wherein it stated that traitors
should be stood up against a
brick wall"
Just let this individual read
the following from the Journal
and ponder deeply-let him find
out where he stands, and he will
come to the conclusion that he is
either an American, or he is not.

for bankruptcies, says Sheriff Edwards,
who gives the record thus:

livered at American Red Cross Head
quarters in France the following let
ter which had been addressed to Presi-
dent Wilson.
"Ihe Union of the Fathers and Moth
ers whose Sons have fallen in France"
on this day, the anniversary of the
birth Of the free and noble American
nation, wishes to send her the most
touching tribute that exists, the hon.
age of the gratitude of the dead who
have fallen during the last four years
for the worlds sake
"While on the graves where they
await victory resound the footsteps of
the young and proud American legions
aud dead heroes are thrilled with hope
and faith, They feel that, in common
with their brothers in arms of the
allied nations, Americas soldiers are
as invincible as the ideal for which
they fight, and they e behind them,
as clear and as pure as this ideal, the
glorious day of. triumph of indepen-
dence and justice dawhing in the folds
of the star-spangled banner.
