Why you should give
twice as much as you
ever gave before!

TINE need is for a sum 1920 greater
L than any gift ever asked for since
the war began. The Government has
fixed this sum at $170,500,0OO.
BY giving to these seven organizations
all at once, the cost and effort of six
additional campaigns is saved.
Unless Americans do give twice as
much as ever before, our soldiers and
sailors may not enjoy during 1919 their
$500 Recreation Buildings
1000 Miles of Movie Film
100 Leading Stage Stars
1000 Athletic Directors
$500 Libraries supplying 5000, 900 books
IS Hostess Houses
$4,000 Big-brother "secretaries"
Millions of dollars of home comforts
When you give double, you make sure
that every fighter has the cheer and COM
forts of these seven organizations every
step of the way from home to the front
and back again. You provide him with
a church, theatre, a cheerful home,
store, school, club and an athletic field
and knowledge that the folks back
home are with him, heart and soul!
You have loaned your money to supply
their physical needs.
Now give to maintain the Morale that
Is winning the war;!

INTERESTING LETTERS FROM
LIEUT. ISAAC KIRKPATRICK

Somewhere in Lorraine, Nov. 8, 1918
Dear Mother and Dad:
Am on duty tonight and have Just
few moments to drop few lines.
How are you and the Spanish Infu-
enza getting along? Hope that nei-
ther of you have it, We have quite
II bit in our unit, but | have been very
lucky. Only down two days with a
bad cold and the fellows said then
that was only lazy and maybe they
we're right. The humidity of the at
mosphere is so great here, especially
ut this season of the year, that we
have to be very careful. ! sleep with
heavy wool socks on and knitted
wool helmet over my head so that
nothing but my nose and mouth are
exposed. The doctors say to keep
warm and you can just bet that | am
doing that very thing. In the first
place ! don't want to be sick even tho
some of the fellows say that it is great
stuff to be waited on by French beau
ty which about nine times out of ten
turns out to be an American Red Cross
nurse; and then again, don't want
to lose the time. That is what we are
working against. Every thing is a
rush not from morning until night but
from the time you debark until we
shall re-embark for the home land. The
English have to stop for their tea,
the Frenchman has to stop for his por-
tion of wine but the American keeps
right on going and that is the main
reason the war has come to an end
so suddenly. We have put just as
much energy into winning the war as
we did in buying stocks and bonds on
Wall Street or in making money in

WILSON SAILS ON
MISSION TO OBTAIN
JUST PEACE TO ALL

New York, Dec. 4.-Bound on a mis-
sion, the principal objects of which
are the abolition of miltarism and the
attainment Of just peace, Woodrow
Wilson, first president Of the United
States to visit Europe while in Office,
was tonight speeding across the At
lantic toward France to attend the
greatest international conference in
history.
On the transport George Washing
ton, one time German passenger liner,
manned by a navy crew and with deck
guns ready for action, and accompan-
led by naval convoy. the president
left New York harbor today amid
demonstration without parallel in the
history of the port.
The president took his place on the
flying bridge as the great ship NOV
ed down the bay. River craft and
ships of many nations dipped flags
and footed whistles and thousands of
persons bade him God speed in cheers
and flag wavings from skyscrapers
and piers.
on quarantine, where Staten Island
throngs waved and shouted a second
farewell and monitors, gunboats and
artillerymen at FFort Hamilton join
ed in saluting gunfire, the George
Washington met its ocean convoy, the
superdreadnaught Pennsylvania and
a quintet Of destroyers. With her Of
fetal consort and ten other destroy
ers which joined the fleet for a cruise
to the limit of American territorial
waters, the George Washington dis
over the eastern horizon
little after noon.
M. Wilson left his native shores,
according to persons who conferred
with him before the George Washing
ton sailed, determined against militar-
ism in any form. He feels that the
crushing of Prussian militarism is a
part Of his plan for the future peace
of the world, these informants said.

TWO BIG CONCERTS TO BE
GIVEN AT THE H.H THEATRE

The two concerts to be given at the
H-H Theatre on next Wednesday and
Thursday evenings by the Tucumcari
Philharmonic Society under the direc-
tion Of Rev. f. j. Hoering, will be with
out doubt the musical treat of the sea-
son, and they are being eagerly looked
forward to by the music loving people
Of our city. The fact that Mr.. Hoer-
ing is directing these concerts gives
assurance of their merit as his abil-
ity to produce is without question.
The artists who are being brought
here for the occasion are unquestion-
ably the best to be had in this part Of
the country. Mrs. Viola Wilson-Wil-
son needs no introduction to Tucum-
carl and her people as she has appear
ed here in two former concerts and her
art and her personality have endeared
her to all who have had the pleasure
of hearing her. She has been extern
sively trained in New York and other
| cities and has received high honors
for her ability both as a pianist and
vocalist.
Mr.. Chas. j. Andrews appeared here
in concert with Mr.. Parvin Witte two
years ago and made an instant hit
with the large audience who greeted
them. He is without doubt the finest
baritone in FL Paso or the whole South
west and Tucumcari is indeed FORUM
ate to be able to hear him again. The
two artists will be assisted by the best
of the local talent and this will be an
added attraction and will produce a
program that will live long in the
memory of those fortunate enough
to attend.
These concerts are being given COM
plimentary to the visiting delegates
Of the Masonic and o. +. S. Grand
Bodies of the State and are also o.
to the public at nominal cost. The
Chamber of Commerce is standing
back of the arrangements and any who
desire tickets had best see the Secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce or
the committees appointed TO sell the
tickets at an early date. The program
will be in the nature of patriotic dem
onstrations and celebration of VIC
tory, for most of the music has been
Especially written for the occasion, and
represents the music of America and
her victorious allies. No red-blooded
American can afford to have it said
, that he missed these remarkable con-
certs.

WASHINGTON STATE GRANGE
ELECTED FROM HIGH SCHOOL
AT WALLA WALLA BY BOARD

Ia Walla's sentiment in regard to the
Nom Partisan league.
The reason for the action of the
school board is given in the following
resolution adopted by the board:
Whereas the actions and public
expressions of officers of the state
Grange apparently approved by such
grange have been such as to make
the loyalty of such Organization at
least doubtful. and whereas the said
organization has expressed opinions
In opposition to those of the County
Council of Defense and the Walla
Waha Patritic league and we do not
deem that the public property of this
school should be used for any purpose
the loyalty of which is questioned by
any considerable number of our pa
trlotic citizens.
As soon as the resolution was pass
cd, ]. L. Sharpstein. president of the
school board, accompanied by other
members of the board, went to the
gymnasium to serve notice that the
building should be vacated in half
an hour. They were stopped at the
door and refused admlttance because
the Grange was In secret session. A
delegation was sent to ask that the
body be allowed TO complete the ses-
sion in which they were engaged. But
the board refused to argue the matter
and retired to the board rooms to en-.
gage in other business and wait de.

Friends Of the Non-Partisan league

after hurling the Germans back two
miles ON a five mile front northwest
of Chateau Thierry renewed their at
tack late yesterday. The battlc's in
tensity is increasing. Americans oc-
cupied Bussaires. Dorcy Bouresches,
NeuiIIy wood, part OF BeIleau wood
and Bouresches railway station, de-
feating crack Prussian troops.
COMPANY SURROUNDED
One company of marines which was
flanked during the advance was en-
tirely surrounded. After fighting its
way to an advanced position it had TO
fight its way out again. They poured
a fire from machine guns and rifles
into the boches, ripping through them
to the main body Of the Americans.
One entire German company was
dressed in French uniforms. The
marines were not deceived and fired
into the masqueraders. The Germans
then uncamouflaged and cried "Kam-
erad.'
French soldiers holding positions
overlooking the fight report a terrible
execution by the American machine
gunners, the Germans lying thick
afield. Undoubtedly more than ten
machine guns were captured by Am
erimans.

crawIed for a day and night back into

about Chateau Thierry consists main

marines are winning the fight.

SAYS HIGH PRICE
ASSURED FOR ALL
WHO SAVE STRAW

That Umatilla county farmers can
make good money by baling their
straw this year IS declared by O.
Rieiser~ or Fssco, a farfaerl and live
stock man OF that section. He is
here attending the graduation of his
daughter from st. Joseph's Academy
and has been trying to stir up inter-
est in saving straw this year. He
says cattle can't be held all winter un-
less there is feed. At present baled
straw is selling at S13 per ton, as
much as good hay sells for in normal
times. 1t is his opinion farmers can
get virtually their own price for
straw if they viii but save it. He
suggests that as a war measure straw
should all be saved this year.
