GREAT PROGRAM
ARRANGED FOR
WAR conference
All Day War Conference to BE Held II
Maysville by the CFOunCil Of Ma
tlOnal Defense VIII BE Great
Patriotic Meeting-Meet-
ing Held Thursday
August %.

Mr.. w. w. Ball, Jr., chairman of the
Council of National Defense for Ma
son county, yesterday received a com
munication from the state headquar-
ters giving him some idea of the sort
of program the people of Mason coun-
ty may expect at the All-Day County
War Conference to be held in Mays
vile on Thursday, August %, under
the auspices of the State Council of
National Defense.
Among other interesting speakers
Sergeant ]. j. Hudgins, a returned
American soldier wounded in action
in France, will bring a very interest
ing message from the front line
trenches. There will be a company
of workers from the Extension De-
partment of the Kentucky State Uni
versity and a group of able civilian
thinkers and orators. Rev. Father
O'Neil, brother of Mrs. Mike Flarity
of this city, will also tell of some of
the atrocities of the Germans for he
was in Europe when the present war
opened.
Mr.. Ball was unable yesterday to
defenitely announce the place of the
all-day meeting but said that it was
more than likely that the meeting
would be held at Beechwood Park,
however, this will be announced de-
finitely later and in plenty of time.
A special effort is being made by
the Mason County Council of Nation
al Defense members and officers to
have portion of the Great Lakes
Naval Band in Maysville for the day.
This is the great musical organization
which was trained by Lieut.. John
Philip Sousa and is one of the best
musical organizations in the country
A band would add much to the splendid
program and would give the COM
munity revival of patriotism such as
military band only can give.
The meeting will be one of the
greatest patriotic meetings held in
Maysyille since the war began and ev-
cry one in the county is urged to
make arrangements now to come in
and spend the entire day. Remember
the date-Thursday, August 22-and
make all arrangements to come.

NURSE RESERVE
CAMPAIGN CON-
TINUED THIS week
WOmen's Committee, Council Of Ma
tiOnal Defense, win Continue All
This Week In EndeavOr TO
Enlist Young Women Of
Mason County In
Reserve,

Late yesterday the womens COM
mittee of the Council of National De-
fense for Mason county, which has the
matter of enlisting young women in
the United States Student Nurse Re-
serve in hand, announced that up to
the present time they had enrolled
four young women and that all of
these young women were from the
county.
Yesterday afternoon three promi-
nent young women from Maysville
made inquiries about the enlistment
and these young women will likely be
enrolled today.
In order that Mason county may
reach her quota of ten women, the
committee has decided to continue the
campaign all during this week and all
young women interested in enlisting
or who are anxious to know some
thing about the work are requested to
call any time during the day at the
Public Library.
Mason county has done more than
her full duty in every war activity up
to this time and certainly the young
women of the county will not fall
down in this most important drive.
The wonderful opportunities offer
ed the young women in this reserve
are enough to attract them
from all spheres of life. This is an
opportunity to learn one of the most
honorable of professions at the eX-
pense of the government and certainly
there will be ten women in Maysville

NO COMPLAINT MADE ON FARE
INCREASE

Although the great majority of the
people who use the street cars to any
great extent have for years been in
the habit of purchasing car tickets
at the rate of six for a quarter, when
the new order withdrawing the sale
of these tickets went into effect, there
was no complaint at all heard from
the patrons of the car line.

THANKS TO The PEOPLE OF
FARGO AND MOORHEAD

for the patience and kindly consideration shown
those who were striving serve you under the trying
circumstances caused by the recent epidemic
We want you to know that we're it not for
the splendid spirit of service which mpeled the few
operators not afflicted to stick to their posts night
and day. for those former operators residing in Fargo
who volunteered to help and your cooperation we
could not have served at all
Telephone service is the most difficult to
furnish and the most exacting Of any utility
It requires that each patron be given per-
sonal and reasonably prompt attention.
There is no way of telling how many pa
irons wish to be served at one time.
It's quality depends on the party calling,
the operator and the party called three human
factors.
We are thankful that you appreciate orr
efforts to serve in this emergency as well as under
other conditions resulting from the war, which we
cannot control.

GLAD OF CHANCE
TO MEET BOOBIES
ON FRENCH FRONT

II would like TO give the German
! army a chance to get me, seeing
that their navy hasn't succeeded"
In this vein Roy Benson, well
known Fargo young man. in a letter
! to his paernts, Mr.. and Mrs. George
l. Benson, 708 Eighth street north
| announces his transfer from the ar
my transport service to the manning
| OF the heavy guns in France.
| I'm knocking on wood all the
time, though h adds.
| You know the navy has a. bunch
! OF men on the front in France, and
| they have proved themselves a sue
! cess" continues the letter. "On our
| last stop in France they sent us a
notice calling for volunteers to go
| to the front. and most Of us old tim
ers' volunteered. Two of the bunch,
including myself, were accepted,
both of us being boatswain's mates,
and Will be transferred in Bordeaux
| the next time over.
I want to go to the front to see
| just what a good COB can do, and
to see If it is any worse than dodg-
ing submarines. All that am
afraid Of is that l won't get there.
| know we will stay in Bordeaux or
near there for a long time first,
maybe on patrol duty, and after
| that the war may be all over.
oh yes, got another decoration on
my arm, a little gold V-shaped chew
| ron for six months service in the
war zone. Next January. I'll get an
| other one. You can't tell, may be
an admiral SOON"
Rough Weather on Sea
That service on the sea is no va
cation when the weather is rough is
indicated by the letter. which says.
THE only thing that makes this a
hard trip is the weather, which
surely has been rough. and another
thing is that we are awfully shy on
fresh water. Haven't washed my
face since we left France. or washed
my clothes and don't expect to for
ten days more. Feel fine after four
hours sleep, then spend the rest of
the night on watch.
Get up, brush nay hair, wink my
eyes, turn the steam out of the radi-
| ator onto my toothbrush and I'm all
cleaned up for another day. l tell
you it's great to be a sailor with the
wind blowing salt spray over the
ship all day long. I've got enough
salt caked on my face to last a
month"
Roy Benson is serving his second
enlistment in the United States ma
Wy, having ENLISTED the second time
in the summer Of 1917. and has two
brothers in government service. He
has been in the transport service
eight months, in which time he has
figured in several thrilling fights
with German submarines, one of
which was sunk. He has gained con-
siderable prominence in the navy as
| a boxer. and has defeated several
army middleweights.

TORAISES150,000
This Is Kansas Quota for the
Jewish Relief.
Appeal for Help Is Strictly
NOnsectariah

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 3-Kansas will
raise $4,000 for the relief of Jews
in Russia, Poland, Galicia and Pales-
tine, according to plans formed at a
conference today of the Kansas State
Campaign Committee for Jewish Re-
lief.
Delegates were present from over
the state.
Because of health regulations due
to the flu the meeting had to be held
in a room large enough to furnish
100 feet Of floor space for each per-
son. The Wichita Board of Commerce
rooms were measured and found to
fit the requirements of those attend
ing.
This appeal for help is the first ever
made in America for the jews, Henry
Wallenstein, state chairman Of the
campaign said.
1.-The first Jews to land in what is
now the United States arrived in New
York in 1921" said he.- 1.-The gov
ernor refused to let them land until
they promised him they would always
take care of their own poor. They
have kept that pledge to this day."
The appeal for help for the Jews
of the war torn districts is non-sec-
tartan and is conducted on the same
basis as a campaign for relief for
Belgium, Armenia or any other strick-
en- country.

FARE INCREASE DENIED
Kansas City Street Car Company Can't
Charge 8 Cents.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 3.-The petit
ton of the Kansas City Railways COM
pany for an order permitting 1t to In
crease it's fare to cents was denied
here Monday by the three federal
judges sitting enbanc. The company's
petition was based on a recent order
of the war labor board, granting en-
ployes increases in wages, but making
the increases contingent on the COM
pany's financial condition. The COM
pany contended that with the present
scent fare it could not pay the in
creased wage. The petition for q writ
of injunction, restraining city and
state commissions and tribunals in
Missouri and Kansas from interfering
with the collection Of increased fares
also was denied.
Supreme authority of the war labor
board as a wage fixing body was con-
coded by the court. The company's
contention that it could not meet the
wage increases under the 6-cent fare,
also was conceded. The war labor
boards award was not mandatory, the
court held, but would automatically
become oper~-tive with the improve
