Rev McElree. chairman OF the com.
mittee on publicity, said today:
"A special committee Of the war
service council has arranged to do the
soliciting through its block captains
for the cash drive OF one day, Sabbath.
February 2, for all funds which the
people OF Keokuk will turn In to save
the lives OF the starving millions in
! western Asia.
"A large portion OF the state has al
ready gone over the top in this cash
drive. and as Keokuk has gone over
the top in every war drive UP to this
time, we cannot fail in the Armenian
and Syrian relief work.
Think Of the gratitude Of the
. French people when our boys arrived
to stem the westward course of the
Hun! We went into the war, not for
gain but to make the world a decent
place in which to live.
Tragedy to Move Money and Hearts.
Can we stop giving now, when, as
one OF the after effects OF the war
mothers are going insane from starva-

Those gold stars in our service
f1a~s are a challenge to us to enlist
our dollars to save the lives of PEG
ple whom our own boys gave their
lives to save. We went into the war
to abolish war, and we must also help
with our money to abolish. the horrors
which follow war
DO not forget that it is cash

For the Honor Of America.
Rev. Warren in his four minute talk

well we all know what happened.
These oppressed peoples have been
freed from Turkish rule through the
victory OF the allies and America. They
reed only our help for little time
to re-establish themselves as self-sup-
porting nations For the honor OF
America we cannot let their misery go
unheeded."
One per cent Of the fourth Liberty
loan will be enough to save these ex-
lies from starvation.
This one-day cash drive of tomorrow
will be our only chance to help these

Improbable.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
We are constant readers of your COL
umns and we think your advice is
very good, so we are coming to you
for some advice. We are two girls,
Is and Ia years of age. We are in
the Eighth and Tenth grades, re-
spectively. Now, the first question
is: Are we far enough advanced for
our ages? Are we too young to go
with boys? Is it proper to stand on
the corner and talk to boys in the
day time? And last, are we too
young to go to public dances?
Thanking you in advance, we are,
PALS.
P. S.-When you have not too
many letters would you please pub
fish this in The Omaha Daily Bee.
You are we'll advanced-in
school-for your years. This being
the case, I believe your judgment
will tell you when it is, or is not,
proper to stand on street corner
and talk to boys. 1t is a bad habit,
but in the course of ones lifetime
there is likely to be an occasion or
two when it is quite all right to
stop for a brief word on the corner
or elsewhere.
1t is just as important in life that
we know what to omit as to what to
include. Girls Of your age can omit
public dances without regret because
there are so many wonderful ways
in which time may be better spent
music, literature, art, athletics.
wholesome companionship with peo-
pie, your elders, or girl friends, and
boys need not be excluded. But
dances mean late hours, conscious
association with boys. and-at your
time in life--an Improbable expen-
diture of time.
Mary-Of course you meant to do
"your bit'' as did hundreds of other
girls who found heartaches after
ward. At 16 you should not have
taken the lavalliere from an
acquaintance such as this boy; you
should not have allowed those let
tiers to become so much more than
friendly, but you did. And now.
since he has stopped writing, for
your own happiness put him out of
your mind, return the lavalliere and
just resolve that in the future you
will not continue this habit. If
you send the necklace back, l think
that that is sufficient. The fewer
letters that you write the sooner you
stop missing them. You should
have so many other interests at 8
that this need not be the paramount
one.

Mr.. Waters was successfully Asso-
ciate Sales Director of Treasury Ger
t~ifcates of Indebtedness, Chairman of
the Advisory Committee for Pennsyl-
vania, Victory Loan Committee, and
War Savings Director.
During Mr.. Waters term as Asso-
ciate Sales Director, a total of ap-
proximately one billion dollars was
raised in the Third District by sales
of Certificates, which were in the ma
ture of short term loans, enabling the
government to pursue its war poll
cies unhampered by financial consid-
erationS.
AS Advisory Committee Chairman
for Pennsylvania during the Victory
Loan drive, Mr.. Waters ~reorganized
the state plan Of campaign. he ad-
vocated the "home rule" system by
which each county was entrusted with
the conduct subject to headquarters
supervision, of its W loan cam
paigning. Mr.. Walters toured the
state in support of the loan and con-
tributed such energetic leadership
that the Pennsylvania section led. all
other divisions Of the Third Federal
Reserve District in oversubscription
of the loan. Every district of the
state, with two minor exceptions In
which there were unfavorable labor
conditions, exceeded the loan quota
allotted to it. Under Mr.. Waters d.
rection the state for the first time in
the loan campaigns led Philadelphia
In actual amount of oversubscriptions.
Almost $22,OO0,OO0 worth of bonds
were sold in excess of the quota Of
$145,O00,0O0.
In addition to conducting the State
Victory Loan Campaign, Mr.. Waters
directed the War Savings activities of
the entire Third Federal Reserve Dis
trict, which includes 48 Pennsylvania
counties, 8 New Jersey counties and
all of Delaware. He took charge in
January, 1919, and due to the meth
DDS employed by him, public interest
in Thrift and Wal Savings Stamps
was maintained despite the overshad-
owing competition of the Victory
Loan drive. Sales We're encouraged
all during the loan drive and have
been steadily increasing.
Mr.. Waters opposed spectacular
methods of sale Of small government
securities and worked for their dis
tribution through public demand
based OF a desire to own and hold
the securities for their legitimate in
vestment worth. He conducted a con
bined educational and sales campaign.
with the result that redemptions of
1919 Stamps in the Third District
have been held down to a very low
percentage of the many millions of
dollars worth sold.
Mr.. Waters was frequently called
to national headquarters in an advis-
DRY capacity while serving as War
Savings Director.
