u. S. DISABLED SOLDIERS

Uncle Sam is making preparations
to take care of the disabled soldier.
The plan is to have a wounded and dis
abled soldier placed in a hospital until
fully recovered and strength regained,
when he is given an occupation which
will enable him to earn living. He is
finally turned over to Charles Allen
Prosser, Director of the Federal Board
of Vocational Education and it is his
business to find out that for which
each soldier thus incapacitated is the
best fitted. 1t may be for some work
for which he will have to be educated.
After this the soldier will be turned
over to the U. S. Department of La
Dor, who sees that he gets the work
for which he is best suited. The SOL
der also will get a regular sum ac-
cording to his disability.

THE WAY 1T WAS
DONE IN SHAWAN0


c.. G.. Hooker was in Shawano on
Saturday. 1t was the day which had
been set apart for taking Liberty
Loan bonds. The plan followed by
the committee, was to send out circu-
lars stating the amount each was ex-
pected to pay, and this amount was
to be signed up for on the day desig-
mated which was Saturday. Bells were
rung and whistles blown to call at
tention to the day and citizens crowd
ed into headquarters to sign for bonds.
Those who did not appear were to be
visited, but Mr.. Hooker seemed to
think the plan worked very success
fully. Why not? Why should a few
citizens spend a week in chasing up
those who ought to walk up and sub
scribe?

1t Can Be Done

1t must ne done. To do less would be to prove
selves slackers to desert soldiers at critical time
to impose neighbOrs greater share of the
burden than is justly theirs. There is nothing else
important this nothing that will quickly bring
the to successful close. Each day that the war
is shortened may the saving of thousands of
lives of American soldiers prompt response to the
call of your country now, the early raising of
quota is expression of determination to achieve
victory at matter what cost.
The that the American people have subscribed
the largest bond issue in the history of the world that
they have done it promptly, will bring cheer to our
armies and their allies and terror to the Turkey
will crumpIe before this blow Bulgaria has DONE
and the same blow will Austria to to terms.

jamestown, N. D., June 29.-The
Methodist camp here, which is near
the close Of its first week today, is
a big success, not only in the matter
Of interest, but in, attendance. Rev.
Arthur Wesley and Bishop William
F. Oldham have given q number of
missionary addresses during the
week, which have been features Of
the program.
Bishop Oldham, in speaking bn
conditions in South America, where
he spent considerable time as a
missionary, declared that the NUM-
Der of illegitimate children range
from one third to two-thirds Of the
population, due largely to the evil
leadership Of the religious and civil
heads, and added that a recent CEN
sus Of 5000 students in the UNIVERSE
ties Of Buenos Aires, revealed the
fact that but, four believed in God.
He held that it was among Amer
ica's duties to bring the light to the
people Of South America.
In speaking of the present strug-
gle, Bishop Oldham said that after
this war is over, these boys of ours
who are fighting over there will he

Although organdfe has an atmos-

most Of it when made up in the lat

may readily take honors as the most
popular Of the summer fabrics. It is
cool, smart, inexpensive and alto

summer wear, especially in war
times.
This year It is used for dresses,
hats, parasols and separate skirts,
as we'll as for all kinds Of neckwear
and trimmings. It is subtle in it's
color range, coming usually in pale
pinks, bluettes, orchids and very
often in gray. Barred organdies in
these shades are also shown in most
Of the shops.
The frock pictured is made of pale
pink organdie trimmed with bias
folds Of the same material The
collar and cuffs are white and they
also have bias folds for trimming
The overskirt is gathered rather
fully over the very scant foundation
and is slashed on both sides up to
the waistline. White covered but
