OPEN PURSE STRINGS
Y. N. NY. W. G. A. National
cathoIie War Council, K. of c.,
Jewish Welfare Board, War
Camp Community Service,
American Library Assn,
Salvation Army to q.
Benefit.
BY Temple Bailey.

Not all of war is fighting. The sol.
der is not always going over the top
or killing Huns. A lot of times he is
just tired or homesick or lonely. It
is then that he thinks of you 1t is
then that he longs for home. And if
you can't be with him, you can help
the home to follow him. Let others
do it through you who pay for it.
With the slogan, 1--WE help the
home to follow the flag" the Y. M
G. A., Y. w. C. A., National Catholic
War Council TX. of CO., Jewish Wei
fare Board, War Camp Community
Service, American Library Association
and Salvation Army, all have to do
with the comfort and happiness of our
fighting men in camp or at the front,
and l am constrained to discover, if I
can, some of the reasons why modern
misers shake their heads and tighten
their purse-strings when they are
asked to contribute. These agencies
give the cup of cold water. Can't you
see? You aren't there to do it. You
wouldn't be bit Of use if you were.
But along comes a Salvation Army
angel with a piece of pie-and there's
q bit of home. Or a pleasant middle
aged woman smiles over the counter
of a canteen as she pours his coffee
and there's home and mother. Or Mary
Pickford smiles at him from a moving
picture screen, and there's darling
America in every line of her. Or
Sothern recites or Elsie Janis dances
and he's back home beside you, eager
and excited.
Let me say this to you who have
been tempted to shake your heads and
pull your purse-strings tight-the men
over there haven't any home. A trench
isn't home, or a tent, or even a
French farmhouse where one is bill
leted and sleeps on straw. And for a
youngster who has always had soft
bed, two pillows, a hot bath, grape
fruit for breakfast, whole pleasant
American house to be happy in, you
can imagine what i. means to be home
less, with not desk nor chair which
belongs to him, nothing but a kit bag
and casual sleeping place.
Oh, loosen your purse-strings! Pray
for vision! Let some dream come to
you of what it would mean if you were
transported suddenly from the soft
ness and ease of your life to world of
fire and flame and horror.
|: Wouldn't you want the light of a lit
tie hut to shine out for you? Wouldn't
you want the smiling woman's face,
the touch of friendly hand, wouldn't
you think of that hut as the only
oasis in Desert Of Dreadful Things?
Put yourself in his place and it you
can't fight with him, at least spend
your money for him. He's worth it,
and he's worth it not only because he's
your lad and my lad, but because he's
fighting for the honor of your country,
and for the worlds need of freedom
from the Hun!

WITNESS AFTER WITNESS IN
PRINCETON.

Such Evidence Our Readers Cannot
Dispute.
AS we take up the Union week by
week, we are struck by the hearty,
,unmistakable way in which witness
after witness speaks out as Mr.. Busch
does here. If these people were
strangers living miles away, we might
take little notice Of them. But they
are not. They are our neighbors, liv-
ing among US. Their word is too east
" proven to admit Of any doubt. They
speak. out in the hope that their ex-
perience may be a guide to others.
Henry Busch, carpenter, Princeton,
says: II was farming in Iowa a num-
Der of years ago and I suppose it was
the work and exposure that got my
kidneys out Of order. My back be-
came very weak and when bent over,
I could hardly straighten up, because
my back fairly twitched with pain.
The secretions were scanty sometimes
and again were profuse. I became run

BOOKS MAKE THEM HAPPY

Alice Hogan Rice, author of Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" and an
ardent member of the American Ii
brary Association, is working in the
interests of military libraries for the
United War Work Campaign. Asked
why soldiers should be supplied with
books, since their mission is fighting,
Mrs. Rice replied in true Mrs. Wigs
style:
when some soldiers in the Civil
War was lynn around camp tryin' to
keep from freezin' to death preacher
come along and when he got up to
preach he SEE, Friends, my text is
Chilblains. They amt no use a.
preachin' to men whose whole thought
is set on their feet. Now you fellows,
git some soft soap and pour into them
shoes and jes' keep them shoes on
until yer feet fit we'll ard next time
come around yer minds will be better
prepared ter receive the word of the
Lord
Fighting men who are made happy
when not fighting, fight better, Mrs.
Rice believes.

Don't Go Too Fast.

The Leader does not want to throw
any cold water on a good roads prop
osition but thinks it just as well not
to go too fast with large appropria-
lions for permanent roads. No one
knows yet how to make permanent
road. Materials which were con-
fidently believed would make per-
manent highways have been found
after costly experiments to be de-
fective for that purpose. The best thing
for the state to do is to establish it's
proposed system of roads but build
the roads of gravel or of the best local
material obtainable. Such road will
for few years have all the advan-
tages of so-called permanent" road.
Within the next five or six years the
proper road building material for alb
solutely permanent roads will without
doubt be discovered as result of ex-
pertinent and trial and then our gravel
roads can be surfaced without their
being any guess work as to whether
or not the material is right for a per-
manent road. The gravel will fur
nish the proper base for the final and
permanent road when the proper sur
facing material is found so that moth
ing will be lost. The gravel road will
not be temporary makeshift it will
represent the permanent completion
Of all the road building except the
costly surfacing. This surfacing can
be done later when some genius dis
covers how to build permanent road.

Easy Money.


Improved working conditions in the
big industrial plants are strikingly en-
phasized in the following incident:
A high school boy, who has been
employed as timekeeper, has had the
opportunity Of sleeping a couple Of
hours just before quitting time.
When the boy got home late, one
morning recently, his father asked
him if his work had kept him at the
plant.
"No," replied the boy, "the fellow
who usually wakes me up forgot to
do so this morning, and I slept two
hours after it was time to 60 home. .
"Slept two hours after quitting
time %
Eyes," replied the boy, .but it is
all right; I charged it up to overtime"

PETER PAN

Miss J. Pearle Rogers of Newcastle,
Ind, who is instructing the troupe of
local talent which will present Peter
Pan at the Temple next Monday
night, comes to our city with the
highest recommendations, among
which are articles in many papers
printed in cities where her work has
given great satisfaction. The nearest
of these to home is the Lakeland Tele-
gram, where the play was given with
the greatest success a few years ago.
Since then Miss Rogers has travelled
all over the United States, instructing
amateur troupes in many cities, and
always giving the best of satisfaction.
The ladies of the Woman's Club, who
invited her here to help them with
their entertainment are much pleased
with her work, and those in the cast,
as well as all the other performers,
are entering into the spirit of the
play with the greatest enthusiasm,
and they are going to give the people
Of our city the finest local entertain
ment they have ever seen. Let us
show our appreciation by turning out
and giving them packed house Mon
day night. It will make everybody
who goes feel better satisfied with
themselves.

PARTAKE OF POTATOES
They are Good to Eat and There are
a Plenty of Them
Government Specially

Washington, April 27.-As new po-
tatoes come in, eat more of them this
spring than you usually do, reducing
proportionately your consumption of
wheat products. You will be helping
to save food for war winning. You
will be helping promote the prosper
ity of the South. There is an abnor-
mally large hold-over of northern po-
tatoes now moving to market; they
are very cheap. If the new southern
crops move as early as usual the mar
ket will be flooded with this old sup
ply. Southern growers are being ad-
vised by the United States depart
ment of agriculture to delay digging
their crop, and to hold back its mar
keting in the North as long as posi-
BILE. At the same time the southern
consumers must eat more of the
southern crop at home. This will mean
more money for the South and more
wheat for the Allies. If southern con-
sumption is not increased there may
be glutted northern markets, lowered
prices and lost foodstuff.

1000 MEN A MONTH
FOR Y. M. C. A. WORK
BY A. G. Knebel, Executive Secretary,
War Persnnnel BOARD

By A. G. Knebel, Executive Secretary,
War Personnel Board
Fully 5000 men, representing every
vocation, are now engaged as asso-
citation secretaries in the various can
tonments and camps in the United
States, over 1000 are now overseas-a
total of more than 5000 men, all of
whom have entered this work since
the early days of last summer.
To meet the added requests from
General Pershing and the recent
cables from the premier of France
and the general commanding all the
French forces, we shall need thou
sand new men each month until July
first. These men must come in the
main from business and professional
life. We will not consider pacifsts,
socialists, or men of pro-German ten
dencies; neither is it possible to con-
slider for overseas service any man
whose parents were born in Germany
or Austria.
The war personnel board will not
consider men of draft age, even tho
they have been exempted, unless the
reasons for exemption are character
lied by marked physical disabilities.
We can consider only men who are
willing to face hardship and danger;
who are prepared physically to en-
dure drudgery, long hours and high
tension, nerve-racking work.
The men who go must be resource
full and know how to adapt themselves
to new conditions. They must be mer
who have the capacity for friendship
In the language of E.. C. Carter, CHIEF
secretary for the forces in France
"The leadership of a hut in France
has bigger possibilities of nationa
service than most of the bank anC
college presidencies and big city pull
pits in America"
The entire canteen business of the
American army in France has beer
turned over to the National Wa

who have the spirit of service in thei
hearts and who are willing to serv,
either without compensation or whel
that is impossible, merely a sufficien
allowance to take care of expense
and provide in a measure for de
pendents.
To supply the demand for men O
the right calibre, the National Wa
Work Council has created a war per
