To the cause of Zionism, to the cause of
Jewish suffering and to the cause of
Jewish progress in the community, to
all these the Young Mems Hebrew As
ISOLATION has contributed its utmost
support, morally, physically, and finan-
cially. And each and every time it was
not satisfied in doing it's share, but man.
aged to surpass it.
Let there not be recorded single
Zionist activity, Flag day, National Fund
day or any other in which the Y. M. H.
A. did not have it's teams, selling flow
ers on the street corners, canvassing
from house to house for the National
Fund, or doing any other necessary work
to make each and every event a success.
During the Jewish registration conducted
in the fall of 1918, it was the Y. M. H.
A. that produced the best team, their
team getting more than one-half of all
those registered in the 4th ward. During
the Zionist Congress, the Y. M. H. A.
took an active part in organizing the To-
cal Congress and was well represented
at it. And even so, four of it's men,,
bers were not satisfied with offerings
their money, their work and help for
Zionism, they offered their very lives,
joined the Jewish Legion, and went forth
to fight so that Judaism might bloom
forth again on it's own soil and with it's
own government, respected and honored
by the entire world.
During those darkest times Of the war,
when everything was most gloomy and
black, Whine Jewish lives were being lost
by the thousands in Russia, Roumania,
Palestine and Poland because Of the lack
of the very vitals Of life, the heart of
the Y. M. H. A. was just as touched
and it's purse strings opened as any
other organization anywhere. During
the first war relief drive, and while the
organization was still young and weak,
it contributed SIS for Jewish war re-
lief. Again the spring of 1913 it pledged
$100, but before the enthusiasm had
subsidized it had doubled it's pledge. All
this was outside Of what the members
subscribed as individuals. In the War
Chest Campaign in 1918, 1926 was
turned over under the name, young
Mems Hebrew Association"
In addition to all this the Y. M. H.
A. was represented by two men on the
local war relief board, and both con-
tributed much of their time, efforts and
energy to make the War Relief sue
cess. We ask of you Gentlemen of
Minneapolis War Relief Committee, is
this not 500" Surely the Y. M. H. A.
can stand before the community and
with a clear conscience say, eve have
done our duty"
For the benefit and betterment of not
only it's own members but also the entire
community, the Young Mems Hebrew
Association has conducted Americaniza-
ton classes, classes in History, classes in
Yiddsh Literature, Public Speaking
classes, and others that tend for bet
ter organization and community Some

of any OF the Liberty Loan series, and
are payable by the government IN four
years after date. This high interest
and the short term makes them GER
tain to remain at high figure, f1nan-
ciers say, and there will be no dan
ger of their dropping to discount.
Secretary Carter Glass has announc-
ed positively that this will be the last
of the Liberty loans. 1t will pay the
bill for defeating the Hun and bring
the boys back home.
The campaign all over the district
was opened with parades and great
celebrations. In Atlanta the central
part of the city was more deliberately
decorated than ever before in history.
In several of the larger cities the "hy-
ing circus of airplanes fought mimic
battles in the air high above the
streets. Secretary Glass is to deliver
an address in Atlanta on May /.
Chairmen all over the Southern
states are reporting that the Victory
loan is easier to put over than they
| had expected.
Our people have not lost their pa
triotism," they report. There was
an apparent apathy. We had begun
| to believe the public thought the war
was all over and there was no use in
, subscribing to more bonds. But we
were wrong. The American-city man,
town man, farmer,-is willing to pay
his share of the war bill, and he is
proving it."
That is the patriotic side of the mat
ter. On the business side. the short
term bonds or notes appear to strike
the public eye favorably. The average
man is more willing to tie up his
money for four years than for long
er period, and the fact that the gov
eminent promises to pay in four years
makes the securities more easily ne
gotiable at full price than If period
of twenty years were involved.
The quota for the district is $144,'
O0O, 1000. Several counties reported
arly on the first day that their quotas
had been reached, and asked for Vic
tory Loan honor flags, which are to
be awarded to every community over
subscribing it's share. The fair and
square individual quota system adopt
ed by many counties helped to carr,
them over the top on VOLUNTEER
Days." the first two days Of the cam
: paign. In the Third Loan campaign
every county in the district went owe
and an effort is being made to repea
this performance this time.

Atlanta, Ga.-The Victory Loan

upon the district headquarters within
the first few days of the big drive. That
the Sixth Federal Reserve District
will go over the top with a bang is
indicated by the early results. though
it will require the cooperation of every
citizen to make success assured.
The announcement of the terms of
the Victory Loan did great deal to

The courtesies of a small and

strike deepest to the grateful and

cayune compliments which are the
most appreciated, for more than
the double ones, which we some
times pay. Henry Clay.

SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY

teachers and a very large enrolment,

cured. Supt. Cummings hopes to have
the vacancy filled very soon.
Although school hAs been running
less than week nearly all of the
rooms In the grade buildings are ov-
erflOwing. This IN especially true in
the lower grades. There Is little con
gestion in the sixth. seventh aud
eighth grades and in the upper three
wears OF the high school. but the first
year classes more than fiji the space
provided for them As soon as tho
harvest is over there viii likely be
from 25 to so per cent more students
register in the upper grades and the
high school.
The Lincoln building is suffering
the greatest conges ion and TO help
the situation the board OF education
at recent meeting placed the di-
viding line between this school and
the Washington building one block
lower than has been customary I'm
tho past. All children living east OF
Seventh street must now go to the
Washington building. This helps
some but the Washington building Ia
overcrowded in some OF the rooms.
The greatest problem facing the
board at the present time is to de-
termino some means OF relieving this
crowded condition. II is very evident
that a new building must be erected
before next fall but what to do in the
| meantime Is a very serious question
Supt. Cummin ga wishes to thank
all those parents and students who
cooperated with him by registering
last Friday and Saturday. Nearly q
hundred responded to his wishes and
thus made the registration on Mon.
day much easier. The superintendent
was also able 10 give them better ser
vice.

members of the board. the city ply
sician promised the teachers that thu
schools would not close this year or

board, held last Tuesday night. ID. C.
kunz was appointed a member OF the
board to fill the vacancy caused by
the removal of l.. G. French from the
city. When questioned Wednesday,
Mr.. KunZ said he did not know
whether he would be entitled to hold
the office of school trustee In con-
nection with the office of prosecut-
ing attorney. However, IL the law
will permit him to hold the two Of
fices, he will qualify as a member of
the school board, although not at all
anxious for the office.
r. M. Winter, who was reelected
a member of the board, qualified for
the ensuing term, but Milford Will
iiams. the newly elected member, was
not present to qualify. He will do
SO, however, at another meeting to
be held In a few days. John j.
Jones will continue TO serve as a
member of the board until Mr.. Will
liams qualities.
The designations OF w. II. Crock

This leaves the board with only three
members and no business can be le-
gally transacted until a fourth men,

THIS standing Is based on MOntpe-
lier being awarded the contested
game at Green River. This question
will be decided at a meeting of the
directors of the league, which will be
held on the call of the president.
Should the disputed game be given to
Green River, 1t will give the pennant
to Rock Springs and place Montpe-
lier second.
While the league has proven to be
a rather expensive affair, 1t has CIV
en- the towns a better class OF ball
than has ever before been seen. It
is probable that the Montpelier team
got through on less money than any
of the other teams with the possible
exception of Kemmerer Unless a
town has all home ball players, the
cost of maintaining a ball team is
much heavier than the general public
imagines. This is especially true in
these days of high prices.
The Montpelier team started out
with a capital of less than $500 and
ended the season with a debt of only
$500. This is a good record when
we stop to consider that the Green
River and Rock Springs teams had
over $4,000 each to start with.
