CARDINAL GIBBONS
APPEALS FOR AID
TO THE ARMENIANS

The attempt to relieve and save
the starving peoples in the Near East
deserves the sympathetic support of
all Christian people Not only have
the Christian inhabitants Of Turkey
been impoverished and decimated by
a succession of wars. but deportation
and massacre have destroyed many
fathers and mothers, leaving hundreds
Of thousands of orphans to be fed.
clothed and provided with homes. The
American Committee for Armenian
and Syrian Relief is to undertake to
raise in January, large sum for the
purpose. / hope that all who have
given freely for this and other forms
Of war relief will be generous still in
the face of this greatest tragedy of the
war

Smart Slips.

Some new slips to be worn in these
petticoatless times are made OF silver
cloth, very decollete, and sleeveless, of
course. Faith. hope and tiny narrow
ribbon across the shoulders to keep
them in place. Anyway. they are dis
tinctly desirable, as they fall from the
shoulders to the knee and serve as
camisole and petticoat. too.
One of black shadow lace will be
welcomed for wear with the fashion
able black evening gowns, and one of
real Brussels lace is charming for a
white dancing frock or for a. bride.
Until the laundry situation returns
TO normal, the cotton crepe under
garment will enjoy deserved popu-
iarity. A camisole and robe de mutt
of white cotton crepe make useful
and attractive set Just at the front
of the yoke of each is appliqued a pink
satin rose Neither garment has
sleeves and both have pointed should
ers.

labeled Annapolis" the word was
passed along the line at headquarters,
perfect, no need to inspect" This
work was largely carried on by naval
women, and to their credit, it may be
said it was duty well performed.
With Mrs. John Taggard Blodgett the
Surgical Dressings had its inception.
and to her skill the success of the un-
dertaking was largely due. Then her
successor, Miss Margaret Walton. car
ried it on to a successful issue. and
later Mrs. A NJ. d. Mccormick was its
inspiration. With such women il is NO
wonder the work was such a splendid
success.
The Comfort committee of the Red
Cross has been under the painstaking
care of Mrs. Frank A. Munroe. whose
time and attention almost to the ex-
clusion OF all else have been given to
garment cutting and making for the

rounded herself with an efficient com
mittee of workers. all of whom have
been untiring in their labors the past
year to send supplies to hospitals
where sick and wounded soldiers need
ed them.

BUY THAT COAL NOW

The public is informed by men
who are in position to know the
facts in the case, that this coun-
try is facing a coal shortage. 1t
is said that our production of
both bituminous and anthracite
coal has so far this year been
considerably smaller than it was
up to this time a year ago. In ad-
dition to this, Europe is turning
to us for millions of tons.
To help relieve the situation
and to protect itself, the public is
asked to buy it's winter coal early
We, as individuals, are asked to
purchase our coal and get it into
our bins, now. By so doing we
will help the mines, railroads and
every other coal handling agency
prevent severe shortage this
Winteran we will assure our
selves of our. winters ! supply
while it can be obtained. !. --r,.
It is good business * to buy
coal in summer every year-this
year t,is'absolutely necessaryato
buy early if we wish to avoid be-
ing caught by a serious shortage
later on. ss"~ = .eo-- s.~e. ~ ~

REGISTRATION OF DIS
= CHARGE PAPERS URGED

Record your discharge certi
ficate' is the advice being sen
out from the office of the stat,
publicity director Of the Ameri
can Legion in this city, to tn,
| ex-service man.
Many counties, among then
being Haakon county, have pro
vided in the office of the regis
ter of deeds, a record book fol
the exclusive use of the ex-ser
vice man in which may be re
corded his discharge from the
service in the great war; how.
ever, in some instances vete.
rams of the Spanish-Americar
war have dug up their dis.
charge certificates issued in
1899 and had them recorded,
and some sons of civil war
veterans have even taken their
fathers discharge dated back
in the COS to the registers office
for the purpose of having a
permanent record made of the
now fast fading and precious
document. Many national
guard discharges, part of the
chain of a mans service in his
country's cause, are now of re-
cord in numerous counties.
Many ex-service men do not
value their certificates enough
and will in later years regret
that better care was not taken
of the document. This is illus
trated in the case of many civil
war veterans. The necessity of
having an official copy made in
the registers office and the pro-
per safekeeping of the discharge
after it is returned to it's owner,
cannot be made too emphatic to
the recently discharged soldier,
sailor or marine. 1t may save
him much anxiety, annoyance
and trouble in the future.
One instance was recently
brought to the attention of the
state publicity director, when
he attended to secure extra ira
vel pay for a returned soldier.
The party in question was un-
able to locate the discharge GER
tificate and the matter is still
being delayed awaiting the is
suance of certificate of serv-
ice" from the war department.
The fee for recording a dis
charge certificate is nominal and
is well worth the small expen-
diture involved.
