 With business good and good crops. the people of Butler county have more money than they have had at any time since the invasion of the boil weevil. The people of the county be- ing in a position to loan their money to the government will respond at the next Liberty Loan, and Butler county will no doubt oversubscribe her quota.

ALBANY HOME SERVICE WORK

In his recent monthly report to the gulf division of the Red Cross, R. H. Wacott, Albany chapter, home service chairman, is shown to have personally visited Is of the Morgan county soldier families. Of this number one family received a small loan, which has been returned to the Red Cross treasury. Subjects discussed with the families visited included health, school attendance of younger children, unruly children, allowances, compensa- ton and allotments.
 Letters written to soldiers by MT. Vol colt were two. Interviews with pastors, dentists. lawyers and physicians of fam flies. 50
 MT. Walcott has not yet completed the organization of his committee, so is at present doing all the work himself. One Morgan county boy was finally traced to France, after a dozen or so letters had been written, and finally a letter was secured from the soldier to his mother, after which, as soon the chairman re- ceived it, the boys mother was sent for. As she had not heard from her son in over a year, the mothers relief is better imagined than described.

ARMY OFFICERS SPEECH


 There happened to be available for service of this kind Lieut. s. J. Aims worth of the British army, and he was asked to address patriotic meetings to be held at these industrial plants few days ago. With him went Oscar Mumbaugh of the United Statts shipping board.
 The first meeting was held in large building known as No service building of the Carborundum company. There were present several hundred of the em- ployes, some of whom are employed in the shipping department some in Lathe Room 3, and some in the Wheel Stock Room No 8. It was not difficult for Lieu tenant Ainsworth to gain the attention of these men, for he was cordially re- ceived. and it was made evident to him that if he spoke as he was expected to speak, he would be in perfect control of these skilled artisans.
 The addresses were based upon the ne- cessity of war workers in American in- dustres giving all the energy they pos- sess to their work in the assurance that in their way they are doing as much to make possible victorious peace as even the soldiers themselves. So gratifying were the results of the meeting that the national service section has received com munication from the Carborundum com pany, in which it is stated that 1t is the earnest wish or this company that speakers may be had from time to time in order to keep these matters constantly before the employees throughout the en- tire works
 Lieutenant Ainswofth addressed large meeting of the employees of the Acheson Graphite company and was enthusiastic cally received. The skilled employees of this company are an unusually intelli- gent body of men and they have since the beginning of the war made it evident that they are as fully loyal and earnest and in sympathy with the attitude taken by President Wilson as IS any other body of industrial workers in the United States. Dr. Eaton received a communication from the Acheson Graphite company, written immediately after the meeting was held, in which it was said that Lieutenant Ainsworth address was regarded as one of the finest the employees had ever heard, and it was also suggested in this communication that if workers through out the country could listen to Lieuten- ant Ainsworth or others who speak as he does. at intervals, say. of three or four weeks, great good would result.
 This, however, is exactly what the na- tional service section is doing all over the country. It was reported in this column a few days ago that in the Youngstown (OD district there are 100000 industrial workers many of whom are occupied with manufacturing equipment with

M0 ow that many of our young wom- uWI en are making their home in c Washington working for Uncle Sam. much interest is centered in the 'vacation Lodge" of the '. w. (. A., which has recently been established. Many wonder just what the work of this lodge is and in few words the neces- sity of such an institution is explained:
 They were government employees at Washington, far away from home. They were frail and weak All five had just been discharged from the hospital. They were still too weak to go back to work. Yet in congested Washington there was no place for the war department nurse to send them. In the cramped quarters in rooming house, a rapid recovery seemed impossible. Finally the war de- partment nurse called up the Y. w C. A. That same day they were installed at the Y. W. c. A. Vacation Lodge at Cherrydale, Va. A week there with it's country air and quiet, sleeping porches and fresh garden produce and milk and eggs put them on their feet
 Now they are back to take up their work for Uncle Sam.
 This is but one phase of the construc- ton War work which the Y. W. C. A. is carrying on in Washington
 Not content with affording the 45,o00 girl government employees with an ideal place such as "Vacation Lodge" for rapid convalescence, the entire aim ot the recreational programme of the blue triangle is to keep them well.
 Thousands of girls daily, after working hours, go on health giving hikes, bacon bats, sightseeing trips to historic points and moonlight boat rides. Saturdays and Sundays there are always long, varied lists of outings under Y. W. C. A. leader ship.
 In addition there is large Y. w. C. A. country club within easy trolieying dis tance, the only one of it's kind in Amer ica, exclusively for women. Here, daily supper is served in the garden under the trees. to the visitors attracted by the nightly programme of sports and entertainments.
 These include outdoor movies on the terrace, tennis on six model clay courts, basketball, croquet and baseball. With in the club house there is a large recre- ational room where frequent entertain ments, plays and concerts are given.

GREAT WORK AT NIAGARA FALLS
By HOLLAND


 New York, September f9.-(Special At Niagara Falls much larger amount of work is being done for the government than the public realizes. In fact, so im- portant did the war industries board con- slider some of this work that it caused large amount of electric energy to be de- hNered to the manufacturing plants, and, furthermore, one of the great corpora tions which manufacture electric appara- tus received from the government the highest kind of priority order so tha, certain electrical apparatus could be fur nished to one of these industries, there by making it certain that it would be able to deliver to the government the com modities for which there was great need One of these commodities electrolodes is utilized in the manufacture of poison gas at the government works near Baltimore. There is in fact, no other commodity ex- cepting platinum which will do the par ticular kind of work that is needed in that great gas manufacturing plant.
 Before the United States entered into the war and, in fact, for some weeks after Congress declared war with Ger many, there prevailed a suspicion that some of the skilled artisans employed in these works who are Germans either by birth in Germany or by German paren- tage, might be disposed secretly to inter. fere with the government work. But it was speedily found that these apprehen- sions were on the whole groundless and none of heartisans employed in these in- dustries has been under surveillance for sometime
 The national service section of the ITr,it Gfat chi rd ort- ment which was created by and is under the direction of Dr. Charles A. Eaton, pastor of the Madison Avenue Baptist church of New York, but now on leave for government service deemed it advis able to send speakers to Niagara Falls who were instructed to address the arr tisans in the Carboruncum works and also the artisans employed by the Ache son Graphite company. Both of these industries were established at Niagara Falls by Dr. E. G. Acheson soon after the Niagara Falls Power com pany announced it was ready to sell electric energy in large amounts to industrial corporations. The first industry to accept this offer was the Pittsburg Reduction company, whose manufacture of aluminium at Niagara and in other places where hydroelectric power can be secured has resulted in making it possible to furnish all of the aluminium needed for aircraft as well as for other war material and for do- nestle purposes also.
