inspiration. Women of every race
and creed are its wards. The task
OF the War Work Council is tremend-
Gus.
When the United States entered
the great war the Young Women's
Christian Association was, as always,
working among women. With the
call to new duties it's members did
not abandon their old responsibilities.
The War Work Council was formed
as an emergency measure to take
care OF the women who were caught
In some of the mazes Of war, just as
the parent organization has taken
care OF them through many years of
peace. The varied activities decided
upon by the War Work Council fol-
low closely the needs of the differ
ent communities of the country. Sec
retaries trained in the methods OF
the organization were sent out
broadcast. They we're instructed to
report to the National Board of the
Young Women's Christian Associa
lions in New York the lines of work
which could be best followed in the
various. localities. These secretaries
work in close cooperation with min
listers, women's clubs. chambers OF
commerce, churches, military officials,
and charitable societies. The rec
ord of a days doings of a secretary
reads like a novel, an economic
treatise. and a psychological essay
all compressed into line-a-day entry
A secretary sent out by the War
Work Council must be equal to any
emergency. Miss Lillian Hull at Chill
licothe, close by Camp Sherman, hur-
rying along the street at nightfall
came upon a forlorn couple. A Fin
nish soldier had found job for his
wife, so that she might come on
from Cleveland. When she arrived
she was refused the place because
she spoke no English. Their money
had been all spent on the railroad
fare, and the soldier was due back
at Camp The situation was bad.
Thanks to Miss Hull a Chilllcothian
housewife now has an industrious
and grateful domestic, a soldier is
happy. and a soldiers wife is safe.
Army folks often benefit even more
directly fsom the secretaries work
In Bremerton, Washington, a secre-
tary WAS accosted on the street by
sailor She was a slender woman,
and he had mistaken her for girl.
May l walk along with you?" he
asked.
Surely" she replied with mature
understanding and intuition. What
is the matter? Are you homesick2
The lads story came out with a
rush. Yes, he was homesick, so
hopelessly, despairnsly hsartsick that
he was on the verge of deserving
But this woman gave him genuine
sympathy and announcement. She
saved him to hts country.
From north, south, east and west
these pioneer secretaries sent in
their reports. The appalling size or
the undertaking WAS revealed to the
War Work Council. Decentralization
of the work was the first step. Out
OF the multitudinous phases certain
lines of work were revealed.

AS your are perhaps aware, I am
candidate for Probate Judge Of
this, Lincoln county, at the election
to be held November 9Th. Owing to
the prevalence of influenza and the
danger of spreading that disease, l

paign of any kind and owing to the
further fact that the duties of my
office as Probate Judge of this
county require all my time have been
unable to meet my friends through
out the county.

duties of the Office of Probate Judge
l refer to any lawyer In Lincoln and
adjoining counties with whom most

state since the year 1874, served in
the civil war three years in the First

American soldiers in the terrific wal
now raging in Europe.

BUY A BOND.

Composed by Rev. s. S. Cryor.
Would you like to hold a mortgage
On Uncle Sans domains?
Would you like safe investment
That will surely bring you gains?
Would you like to run the govern
ment
And help to hold the reins?
Then buy a bond.
Would you like to own some paper
Whose value will not cease,
But as the flying years go by
Will steadily increase,
Till it goes far beyond mere par
In coming days of peace?
Then buy a bond.
Would you like to keep your self re-
spect
In years that are to be?
Would you like to have z vital part
In making this world free?
Would you like to help our laddies
Who are fighting DER the sea?
Then buy some bonds.
Would you like to leave your family
An inheritance they will prize?
Would you like to be a hero
In your children's children's eyes?
Then heed your country's calling
| And you surely will be wise
To invest your all in bonds.
We are living in the birth throes
OF a coming golden age;
We can get into this drama,
Play a part upon the stage;
And write our names and influenc'
On history's fair page
BY buying bonds.
For God, our God, is giving us
A chance to do the right,
BY freely lending what we have
With sure return in sight;
, For God himself needs money
r To help us win this fight
D So buy some bonds.
