SMYRNA FELT THE VIBRATION.
Windows Rattle and Houses Shake,
Believe FrOm Morgan, NJ, Explosion

Windows Rattle and Houses Shake,
Believe From Morgan, NJ, Explosion
Smyrna-Clayton and vicinities felt
the vibration Saturday morning be-
lieved to have been from the effect of
the explosion of the big T. N. T. plant
at Morgan, N. j., in which nearly 100
persons were killed, many injured and
millions of dollars worth of ammuni-
tion and property damaged. The eff
feet was like the rumbling of an earth
quake in this vicinity, many citizens
being aroused from their slumbers be-
tween and o'clock by the force of
the shock. Windows were ratified and
in many instances houses shook and
trembled. The shock was also felt
plainly at Dover and along the bay
shore. At Mahon's lighthouse on the
Delaware the building shook and the
windows ratified. AS far down as
Bridgeville the vibrations and rattl-
ings were felt and heard distinctly.
While no definite information has been
obtained as to the cause of the noise,
it is supposed to have been a contin-
uatiOn of the explosions at Morgan,

United War Work Drive

Latah county will start the drive
Nov. II to raise its quota of $780,
10000. This money is to be used to
finance the war welfare work and
will be distributed among the fol-
lowing organizations: Y. w. C. A.,
Y. M. G. A, Knights of Columbus,
Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp
Community Serice, American Lib
rary Association and the Salvation
Army. These CARNATIONS hereto
fore have been making separate en-
beavers to raise funds for their
work. President Wilson, a short
time ago, for the purpose of elimi-
mating unnecessary labor in the
raising of funds. asked that al
these organizations be united into
one drive. The same amout of
money would be necessary to carry
on the work if raised separately for
each of the welfare organizations.
BY getting all of the money in a
lump sum a large amount of un-
necessary labor is saved.
1t will be two years before all of
the boys are returned home from
overseas. They will need every
safeguard to thier moral welfare so
that it is very essential that these
welfare organizations be assisted in

i6ual is expected to do something
to assist. Quotas will be assigned
everyone in each precinct in the
county and those who fail to do
their part will be reported to the
