WAR WORK FUND CAMPAIGN
WILL BE FOR sl70,500, 00l

According to the statement issued
by Dr. John R. Mott, director general
of the United War Work Campaign,
the total amount to be raised during
the week Of November ii is $780,
100000, fixed by the war department
and approved by the president.
The fund win be administered by
the government director for the seven
recognized war work agencies, the
Y. NJ. c. A., Y. w. c. A., National
Catholic War Work Council knights
Of Columbus), Jewish Welfare Board,
War Camp Community Service, Amer
lean Library Association and the
Salvation Army.
"The amount is the largest ever
asked as a gift from any people in
the history Of the world" said DR..
Mott. "Viewed as a total it seems
gigantic, but divided by the four
million men who will be under arms
in our army and navy during the
period it is expected to cover, you
find that it means less than is cents
day per man. Surely there is no
father or mother or friend of a sol
der in this country who will say
that Is cents a day is too much to
spend on his church, his home over
there, his library, his theatre and his
club. The president summed up the
whole appeal in letter in which
he spoke Of the work of these seven
great agencies as of vital military
Importance He had in mind the
fact that their activities are largely
responsible for the maintenance of
the splendid morale of our forces.
There has never been in history SO
spectacular an example of extreme
importance of morale as is now being
presented on the western front. The
forces that confront each other there
are not widely dissimilar in numbers
or equipment, yet one army is con-
stantly withdrawing and the other
irresistibly moving forward-the diff
ference is spelled in that single
word morale
Napoleon said that morale is as
other factors in war as three to one
General Pershing, in a recent letter,
commenting on the work Of the ag-
encies, quoted with approval THE
statement of one of his colonels who
said, Give me nine men who have
a hut to spend their evenings in and
/ will have a better fighting force
than ten men would be without it.
IF it is worth S24,000,000,000 to
keep our boys under arms next year,
surely it is worth S170,O00,000 and
more to add 10 per cent to their
fighting if it brings victory 10 per
cent nearer. This is the appeal of
the seven United War Work agencies
to America and particularly to those
-four million homes where service
flags fly, and we know what Amer
icas' answer will be-"

Upton WENT OVER AGAIN

The allotment Of $4,000 for Tip
ton county in the fourth Liberty loan
was carried over the top through the
interchangeable work of the county
chairman, Mr. J. H. Flippin, who had
the able assistance Of his co-workers,
Hon. r. w. Sanford, chairman for
District No. ]; Messrs. J. w. Darby,
]. H. Lowenhaupt and w. F. Bringle.
The women's Liberty loan organiza-
ton for the county also did a SPLEEN
did service, both in Covington and
outlying districts Of the county, in
putting over the work in spite of
influenza among the many assistants
throughout the county. The net result
Of their work was distribution Of
$50 subscriptions cards and a total
sale Of $128,200 worth Of bonds.
These gentlemen and ladies are en-
titled to the thanks Of everybody for
their splendid work and the untiring
energy they displayed in putting
the work over. Upton county could
not afford to fall behind in such a
work, and they realized the response
bility they had on their shoulders and
worked every day with that end
in view.

ALMYRA GLEANINGS

The weather for a week past has
been wet, mostly showery, hut Satur-
day night one of the heaviest rains
that ever comes fell here. Fall gar
dens and turnlp patches are fine,
also early soWn grain crops. Molas-
ses-nnaking is over with, corn gath
ering and general farm work are
progressing well, considering sick
ness and bad weather.
There has not yet been any great
amount Of sickness from influenza
in this community, and those who
have suffered from it have had it
in mild form.
If the churches are closed a few
more Sabbaths, | fear some Of the
preachers will come short on collec-
tions.
Rev. ]. Meek White, now the supply
for Sharon A. R. P. church, designed
to have the fall sacramento SER
vice of that church last Sabbath,
but on account of rain and sickness
it had to be postponed until next
Sabbath, when he purposes to have
the communion after the morning
service. There will likely be preach
ing both Saturday and Sabbath nights
by Rev. White. Mr.. White is an
able preacher, fluent speaker and a
plain, practical minister, and the
people are delighted with his minis
trations, and they hope he may see
his way clear to cast his lot with
them after the annual meeting of
the Synod, which is the highest
court Of that denomination, and meets
in a few weeks.
Rev. w. G. Kerr, who had intended
moving to Covington a few weeks
ago, but has been prevented from
doing SO on account Of the prevalence
of influenza over the country, hopes
to move this week. His many
friends here regret to see him and
his family move from this commun-
ity, but follow them with best wishes
for success and happiness in their
new field Of labor,
On last Saturday afternoon Mrs.
Margaret Wright, Of this community,
died at the home of her son, ]. w.
Wright, after several months of suf-
fering. Mrs. Wright was the widow
Of the late John S. Wright, who pre-
ceded her to the grave many years
had lived consistent Christian all
her life in this neighborhood. and
the A. R. P. church. Mrs. Wright
lacked only one day of being n
years old. She leaves to mourn her
death two sons, ]. w. and w. c..
Wright, and host of other near
relatives in this part of the county.
Her remains were buried in Salem
cemetery Sabbath afternoon, after
services in Salem A. R. P. church,
conducted by her late pastor, Rev.
w. c. Kerr, assisted by Revs. ]. Al.
White and |. S. Caldwell.
Mrs. F. G. Moon, who lives on one
of Mrs. F. P. SPANS farms, while
with her son, William Moon, on the
road to Arlington last Wednesday,
had the misfortune to get one Of her
lower limbs broken just below the
knee. The horse they were driv-
ing to a buggy became frightened,
turning suddenly in the road and
turned the buggy over, throwing Mrs.
Moon out, causing the accident.
Though suffering much at times, she
is reported doing well.

A PRAYER

Heavenly Father, bless the sailors
far across the sea,
Make them strong and keep them
ever near to Thee.
Take the soldiers in Thy keeping
as they march along,
And in camp and field and battle
make them strong.
May the lonely, sick and wounded
ever near Thee feel;
Give the doctors and the nurses
skill to heal.
Bless the mothers and the children
in the homes they keep:
Give them daily bread and shelter
guard their sleep.
Give our president and his helpers
wisdom, skill and might.
Strength to strive for truth and
honor and for right.
Heavenly Father, hear our prayers;
make the war to cease.
Holy Spirit, teach us love and give
us peace.

TOO EARLY TO RETREAT

A copy of Stars and Stripes, print
ed in France, sent us by Farrar
Smith, former Covington boy now
doing service for Uncle Sam "over

days and nights, reached the hartle
front-a forced march, conditions
considered, if ever there was one.
Just ais they arrived the Germans
came pouring down towards the
Marne At that particular moment,
in that particular spot, in the whole
confusion of the ruptured line, the
order for retreat was given. Ere

colonel. Il just got here"
