WAR HITS YALE HARD

New Haven, Conn, April 24.-Yale
has decided, to send no entries to
the University of Pennsylvania track
meet.
The action is dictated purely by
the necessities arising from war
conditions. The squad is painfully
small and funds are lacking for ex-
penses.
There is doubt as to the sending
of a team to the intercollegiate meet
next month for the same reason.
However. a few individual entries
may go to the latter meet.

WAR WORK RALLY SUNDAY
WAS MOST ENTHUSIASTIC

Last Sunday afternoon at the First
Baptist Church, there gathered from
all parts o. the county the workers
who are taking part in the War
Work campaign. Similar meetings
were being held in all parts Of the
United States, and our people seemed
to catch the spirit Of the occasion.
The large auditorium of the church
was well filled with people, and the
exercises were very interesting, Mr.
Lushwaugh, a soldier from Park
Field, Millington, had charge of the
music, and led the audience in sing
ing several patriotic songs.
Mrs. Charles BuEch, of Memphis,
who has worked extensively in the
interest of the Y. w. C. A., repre-
scented that organization in the meet
ing, and made a most interesting ad.
dress, explaining the character Of
work done by all these organizations,
particularly the Y. w. c. A.
Mr.. Lee Wilson, Y. M. 9. A..
worker from Fl. Oglethorpe, made an
interesting speech in behalf OF the
united work, and told of the benefits
to the soldiers as he had seen them
in actual service.
Mr.. j. w. Darby, who presided over
the meeting, gave some special IN
structions to the county workers,
The opening prayer was led by Dr.
r. P. Walker, of the Presbyterian
church, and the closing prayer by
Rev. r. A. Clark, Of the Methodist
church.
This meeting indicated that Upton
county had been well organized and
would put the work THROUGH with
enthusiasm and with rush. Since
the war began our people have not
failed in single call that has been
made upon them, and the spirit Of
this meeting was that they would not
fail in thie one

NO RELAXATION NOW
IN WAR ACTIVITIES

That there must be cessation of
war activities throughout the coun-
try, irrespective of the signing Of
armistice terms by Germany, was in
icated in a telegram just received by
Maj. Rutledge Smith, chairman of the
state council of defense, from Secre-
tary Franklin X. Lane, chairman of
the national council of defense. The
Telegram reads: II earnestly beg
you not to relax your efforts in the
slightest degree on account of the
possibility of an early armistice.
Even if an armistice should be con-
cluded, this does not mean that the
war is over, and in any case the
emergency will not be over for long
time. Most of the work which you
have been called upon to perform
must 90 on undiminished, and | hope
every man and woman in the coun-
Gil Of defense will stay on the job"
This message, which was received
before the armistice was signed,
means t<at war work must be con-
tinued long after the signing Of an
armistice, and Maj. Smith has wired
the councils of defense in other south
ern states to tighten up their organ
izations and enlarge the scope of
their operations. He has also as
sured Secretary Lane that Tonnes
see would always be found ION the
Job" and that war activities in the
Volunteer state would go on without
relaxation.

FOR THE HOME OF
THE GOOD SHEPHERD

Editor Leader.-The Home of the
Good Shepherd is the only institution
of its kind between New Orleans and
st. Louis that offers refuge to
girls in need Of protection.
At present they are administering
to the moral and physical welfare Of
two hundred girls, half Of whom are
from our neighboring counties in the
states Of Arkansas, Mississippi and
Tennessee.
The source Of revenue for their sup
port has been partly derived from a
state fund, which has been discon-
tinued, and the balance by their own
earnings in manufacturing oyeralls
and shirts, and needlework. Such
funds, however, are inadequate to
maintain the institution, and with
other adverse conditions they have
accumulated considerable indebted
ness which the citizens of Memphis
and surrounding territory are endeav-
oring to liquidate
At meeting which was recently
held in Memphis, and presided over
Dy bne NJ. IeV. lHOS. r.. GdllOEy DISH
op Of Tennessee, and which was at
tended by the clergy Of other denom-
nations, the work of the sisters of
the Good Shepherd was approved,
and a permanent committee organ
lied, consisting Of citizens of all de-
nominations, for the purpose Of lift
ing this debt, and to advise with
them and to provide for their future
needs.
Knowing of the close association
between the Home Of the Good Shep-
herd and your county, we feel that
many of your citizens would be glad
of an opportunity to cooperate with
this committee in its work of raising
this fund, and to that end we solicit
their subscriptions for such an amount
as they can afford.
Vent you send us your check at
once? Yours very truly,

WILL ASK TENNESSEE TOWNS
TO PASS STOCK LAWS SOON

Nashville, Tenn, Nov LIN fur
therance of the campaign for the re-
duction of the number of live stock
killed along the railroads, the council
of defense will ask that every town
in Tennessee have passed by its city
council an ordinance prohibiting the
running at large of stock Those
towns which have stock laws will be
asked to see that they are observed
1t is thought in this way that the
great food waste in Tennessee caused
by animals straying upon railroad
tracks will be reduced materially
as figures show that SIS per cent Of
such killings were within station lin
its.
The number of food animals killed
along the railroads of this state is
close to 1000 each month, and the
campaign inaugurated by the state
council Of defense is being conduct
ed along patriotic lines, stock owners
being requested to keep their stock
off the railroads as their patriotic
duty to the boys over there.
Every agency at the command Of
the council of defense is being
brought into the campaign, and al
ready thousands of stock owners
over the state have pledged them
selves to keep their stock off the
railroads for the period of the
railroads until times again become
normal.
