"Say, I'm vie to you, all right" n
Western Union messenger boy Wills
pered to one of the directors OF the
United War Work Campaign in the
New York headquarters. The direc-
tors desk had only just been moved
in and the work of the big drive had
hardly begun.
I'm onto your stunt" the boy went

desk you're goin' to give us fellows
that amt old enough TO 90 to war a
chance to carr an give to back up a

The crumpled IS bill he dropped on
the desk made him the first Of "a mil.

MERCY MUNITIONS
NEEDED IN TRENCHES
Lieut.. COningSby Dawson, Fight

Appeal for Y. W. C. A.

Lieut.. C%onlngsby Dawson, who wrote
Garry On" says of the war work
which the Y. w. G. A. is doing: "You
at home cannot fight with your lives,
but you can fight with your mercy.
The Y. W.. c, A. is offering you just
his chance. 1t garrlsons the women's
support trenches, which lie behind the
mems. 1t asks you to supply them
with munitions Of mercy that they
may be passed on to us. We need
such supplies badly. Give generously
that w may the sooner defeat the
Hun"
What Lieut.. Dawson says of the Y.
w. c. A. he might have said OF all the
national organizations which are com
ing together for the biggest financial
campaign that organizations haze ever
headed. All the $l7O,5OO,OOO to be
raised by the seven great national or
CARNATIONS the week OF November IL
will be used to garrison and supply
the support trenches behind the lines.

SWINE MORTALITY FROM
DISEASE AT LOWEST MARK

Washington, June 1.-The death rate
in swine from all diseases for the year
ending March, 1918, announced by the
United States department of agriculture
as 42.1 per 1000, is tue iowest IN rairty
five years, according to the records kept
during that period.
This unpreeedentedly low rate of NOR
tality presents great contrast with
those of earlier periods, particularly
with the losses of 1888 per 900 in 1887
IA per 1000 in 1897, and 1889 per
1000 in 1914, years marked by severe
outbreaks Of hog cholera. This is even
a remarkable reduction from the nor
NAL rate of losses which has remained
slightly above so per 1000 when the
disease was least prevalent.
The approximate number of hogs on
hand January l, 1918, was 1894, 900.
The loss of 421 per 1000 for the year
ending March. 1918, therefore represent
ed approximately 100000 of these ami

UNCLE SANS PRAYER
( 4 = I < Z 4 Z y \ = 4 4

Our father in heaven, we thank thee
for thy great goodness to us as ma
tiOn.
Thou hast helped US over many
hard places in times past and we need
thee now, we realize this world war
means Fife or death to us as a nation,
so at this time of special prayer, we
ask thee to again aid us.
Bless us as states, as people, help
us to prosper and make it possible to
do "our bit to send food and money
to those who represent us in the great
stuggle for democracy.
We thank thee for President Wilson,
man with a level head, a christian
heart, great soul. Guide and lead him
alway.
Bless cur own dear native land U.
s. A. let there be no slackers here.
And we would pray for our enemy,
find the little spark of God-spirit in
his heart, touch him in a way that will
make him ashamed, make him repent
and see the awfulness of this war and
upon whom the responsibility rests.
In cur Bible, we read, the prayers
of a godly man availeth much.
Our prayers today all over the land
come from the very depths of our
hearts, from true earnest souls, make
them count press the power down,
press the weight on his conscience so
heavily, he cannot stand, will fall,
give up, surrender all.
Then if it be according to thy will,
we would build a Christian Endeavor
Temple as a monument to christianity,
q symbol of victory.
After the war, when liberty, justice
and peace are won, invite all nations
and have a time of great thanksgiv-
ing and praise.
These favors we ask in thy name
and thou shalt have all the glory. Amen
JOAN.
