Has Active PROGRAM

The jewish Welfare Board has
I started iifc anew IN tins an
has planned out a new line of &C.
t~ivitles which. will go into effect cry
shortly. 1t is the intention of the
Board to have activities in the rooms
every night in the week for the special
use of the men in uniform. who are
welcomed in the quarters at all times
and may enjoy all privileges.
This is what the Jewish Welfare OF
this city is going to offer to the men
in uniform. There are going to be
Social Nights held in the building
several times n week. Members of the
Y. ". IL. A. will act as hostess and
eeptertain the men with songs and
other forms of entertainment. There
will be refreshments served. A Vic
trola has also been purchased by the
Board and this too will add to the
pleasures of the night Although this
is the first time these social nights
will be tried IL is sure to be success
full. Only men In uniform will be
allowed to attend these. Then. OF
course the weekly Wednesday night
dance will be held every week while
on Sunday Ii soldiers will be given

Arrangements have already been
completed whereby moving pictures
will be shown to men in uniform only

tho discharged men attention also. The
problem Of unemployment of the dis
charged has been taken into consid-
GRAFTON by the J. w. Ii. who is now
working in conjunction with the Fed
eral Labor Bureau agencies of this
city to provide employment for the
discharged men. After consulting Mr..
Jess Davis arrangements have been
made whereby the Welfare Board will
take over the work of getting In m
with the smaller concerns and ind
the opening in their midst while the
Federal "a will keep In touch with
the larger concerns. This will in no
way interfere with the work of the
Labor Bureau since the Welfare Board
Is directly responsible to the Labor
Bureau M all positions found vacant

"Nlpped In the budI" proclaimed the
Judge to his spinster sister a day,
and he clacked his tongue and
chuckled, and fancled ne had reached
the acme Of wisdom. prudence and

scene. The judge had come upon his

place, msndatorislly he had directed
Elida to go to her room and uot leave

There was a mournful week for the
sorrowing little creature who loved so
sweetly. The judge never did things

that no man should steal his child

was paid extra to Turk about and re

lover about the place. Even Rodney
Parker was impressed into service and
vigorously patrolled the garden armed
with a big horse pistol for several
nights.
This Elida learned was caution and
preparedness for sending her away for
a year to q select seminary which was
almost q prison. For the frst time In
her life she was defiant toward her
father. The beginning and end of her
argument, when coaxed, threatened
and cajoled, was:

There was some basis TO tlfS3 boast
fal claims Of the father OF pretty Eltda
Barnes. Year in. year out for a full
decade he had been elected and re-
elected to the office of magistrate. He
was not much of a legal luminary. but
he was shrewd, had a smattering OF
court usage and brought revenue to
the town. Speeders were his special
prey, marriage licenses were easy or

quiet little burg Judge Barnes won
the distinction OF q veritable modern

The Judge had made money out of

bought at a bargain. He was a wild

child, Ellda. Upon her ne had lavished
money freely. She was a charming
young lady OF eighteen with a will or

only disliked but despised.
With all his provision and prudence
Judge Barnes had committed a capital
