FOREIGN MISSION RALLY.

The Foreign Mission Rally Sunday
afternoon will be long remembered
and not soon forgotten. Among the
speakers were two native Africans
DR.. Daniel S. Malekebu and Miss
Jennie Sumtumzie. These two speak
ers were hailed with delight and
their addresses made deep impress
sions. The collection at this service
amounted to more than $1,000. The
collections and donations for Foreign
Missions during the session Of the
Convention amounted to little more
than $4,000.
While we rejoice at this, still we
must not forget that our Lott Carey
brethren in session at Rocky Mount,
N G. the week before raised Eleven
Thousand Dollars in cold cash for
the work in Africa. The Lott Carey
Convention covers the States Of North
Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, District
Of Columbia, with few churches
scattered in neighboring States, while
our Convention claims to cover the
entire country.

While there was no report as to
tho number OF delegates in attend

than at tho Muskogee meeting last

thousand dollars were raised and ey-
pended for Convention expenses.

NO QUESTION But WHAT
COUNTY WILL DO ITS SHARE

The fact that Henry p. Dawson.
chairman of the Red Cross war coun-
ell, has definitely announced that
no further campaign for war funds
will be conducted by the Red Cross
other than the Christmas Roll Call.
Dec. 16 to 23, should cause a 100 per
cent membership in this county is
the opinion of A. Farquhar, who is
Roll Call chairman and in active
charge of the campaign locally.
Every adult in this county will be
expected to contribute not less than
one dollar, and every child of school
age is expected to enroll in the Jun
ior Red Cross by paying not less than
25 cents. OF course more may be
given If the donor is so inclined. At
present the adult Red Cross member
ship in Iowa is 1,037,51 and as the
population of the state is given as
1854 100 this means that 43.SS per
cent of Iowa's population have Joined
the Red Cross. In the coming Christ
mas campaign efforts will be made to
make this 100 per cent.

ignated as Red Cross Sunday when

THE JOB ONLY HALF DONE.

Victory Won-and the Job Half
D0nei
Glory perched on the Stars and
Stripes.
Immortality set as a halo on the
brows of the conquering Americans.
By vote of the Frech parliament
this proud tribute inscribed on the
walls of every school in France for
the inspiration of all French children
forever:
President Wilson and the Amer
lean nation, the allied nations and
the men who have led them deserve
well of humanity;
But the job is only half done.
The job will not be done until the
last American on foreign soil has
been borne home in triumph to his
grateful countrymen. The American
soldiers in France have a right to
be restored promptly to the blessings
and privileges of American citizen
ship. 1t is true they went overseas
to fight for us, to carry the starry
flag to glorious victories at Cantig-
ny. Dormans, Chateau Thierry, st.
Mihiel, and Sedan. 1t is true they
added to American history radiance
as brilliant as that shed over 1t by
the patriot heroes of Lexington and
Bunker Hill. 1t is true they have
completed their job of fighting, suf-
fering, dying for the American ideals
of right and liberty. But how about
us who stayed at home?
Lets finish the victory at home,
assthey finished the job over there.
The government is spending about
$4,000, 600 a month--paying the
bills that had to be incurred to make
the victory possible. Most of the
money raised by the first four Lib
erty Loans has been used up, but
the boys still are in Europe Every
man of them has a right to the best
OF food, clothing. care and recrea-
ton. The plainest rule of gratitude
and fairness dictates that we must
give the best We have to men who
offered their lives so gloriously for
us and the nation.
The government must raise bill
lions more money to pay the bills
and bring home all the conquering
Americans and relieve the sufferings
of allied peoples. There will be a
fifth--a Victory Loan sometime in
the spring
To meet the just demands of the
government, to pay our bills honest
ly. TO show gratitude to the brave
men who have fought out the fight
against barbarism. Every American
must get ready to subscribe literally
for the next loan.
The only way to do it is to save.
Do not waste cent Put every spare
nickel into the bank Buy Thrift
Stamps with every spare quarter.
Buy War Savings Stamps with every
$i.23 you can save from your living
expenses.
Then you will be ready to sub
scribe for the Fifth Loan.
Victory is won: Now let's work
to pay the bills and finish the job.

FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN
WILL COME IN APRIL

a large percentage of the money
| which will be subscribed to the Fifth
Liberty Loan will go toward the re-
Mobilization of wounded men. The
United States government is resolved
| to do its utmost to restore every
wounded American soldier and sailor
to health, strength and self-support-
| ing activity. He will not be dis
charged from the hospital until all
the medical and surgical treatment
necessary to restore him to health
has been given him, under the juris-
diction of military or naval author
tiles. according to the branch of serv-
ice he is in.
Then his future will be considered
by the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. If he has been disabled
in such way that he cannot take up
the work he left to go into thhe coun-
try's service, large vocational field
is opened up to him. with a wide
choice of occupations. He is care
fully trained to selfsupporting &C.
tivity.
If he needs an artificial limb or
mechanical appliance, the govern
ment will supply it free, keep it in
repair and renew it when necessary
If. after his discharge from the hos
pital, he again needs medical treat
ment on account of his disability,
the government will supply it free
While he is in the hospital and while
in training afterwards the soldier or
sailor will receive compensation as
if in service and his family or de-
pendents will receive their allot-
ments.
Also. wounded soldier or sailor.
regardless of whether his disability
prevents him from taking up his
former employment. may take a
course in vocational training. free of
| cost. and the war-risk insurance
compensation will be paid him dur
ing the time of training. In this
case no allotment will be paid to his
family.
The training branches. with their
| thousands of trained instructors. will
use millions of the nations dollars.
and the country, instead of being
filled with dependent cripples and
| beggars. an eyesore to the nation and
a constant reminder of the horrible
side of the great war. with its glori-
| fled cause and its magnificent vic
| tory, will have thousands of highly
| trained men-heroes. the glory OF
whose sacrifice will not have been
furnished by moral and mental dis
| Indignation.
That's one of the reasons why the
| Fifth Liberty Loan must be oversub-
scribed. The first three loans
launched America in the built
training camps and equipped and
sent men overseas; the Fourth Lib
erty Loan. the fighting" loan,
backed up the fighting men and made
overwhelming victory for the allies
possible. The Fifth or Victory Loan
will be just as important in the an
nails of war loans, for both moral
and material reasons. America
would be monstrously ungratefu
should she not stay with her men in
khaki and blue until they are re-
turned to their homes, physically
strong and able to earn a livelihood
The best way for every person tC
show his personal gratitude is tC
start now planning how much he
can subscribe to the Fifth Loan.

YOUNG BOYS AT COLLEGE
TO BE DISCHARGED

The war department last week is
! sued orders disbanding the students
/ army training camps in colleges
throughout the country. Demobil-
izing the various corps has already
begun and will be completed by the
21st of December. Boys are being
discharged every day and are coming
home one by orie According to the
system adopted there will be no con-
gestion and the boys will reach home
without attracting attention, so far
as crowds are concerned.
There were two classes included
in the college training contingents,
the young men, graduates from ac-
credited high schools. who had en-
listed and were enrolled as soldiers
OF the government. These were paid
the wages of private, $50 per month,
furnished uniforms, and quartered
and rationed at government expense
These young men were given military
training under an army officer and
at the same time admitted to classes
in the regular educational courses.
They were in the regular students
army training corps, and primarily
under control of the army officers.
The intention was, ii the war con-
tinued, to induct them into army
units as required by the military,
placed in officers training camps,
etc, as the army organization
deemed wise, from time to time.
However, there were young men
at Ames, for instance, graduates
from high schools or not, who were
taking drill and instruction in vari-
GUS departments, though in no way
connected with the college as such.
These men were more concerned
with machines and engineering than
with educational matters and COM
posed what was called the "detach-
ment." They were also indicted in
to the service. but were not among
the class known as the army train
ing corps. Both classes are sched-
uled for rehabilitation and members
will be able to be home for Christ
mas The experience of the stu
dents army training corps will have
a stimulating educational effect up
on the young men who have been
serving to this date. Many of the
boys will arrange to stay in college
the rest of the year. Indeed it is
presumed that many will acquire
college education by reason of their
first contact through the army train
ing corps. 1t is believed that large
share OF the boys, who are now in
college, drawing pay, and maintained
at government expense, will return
after the holiday vacation as stu
dents on their own account.
BY the 2lst inst. all the boys in
the corps in the country will be
home and all will be benefited in
some measure by the experience
through which thy have gone since
September.
