—That the public may be relieved of
promiscuous war giving as a result
of appeals from sources unauthorized
by the federal government the Okla-
homa state council of defense has is-
sued a notice urging all citizens to
give freely to the United War Work
fund which campaign is now in pro-
gress. Included in this are the
Young Men's Christian Association,
the Young Women's Christian asso-
ciation. the National Catholic War
Council, the War Camp Community
Service, the American Library asso-
ciation and the Salvation armv
The total amount to be raised is
$170,500,000 and constitutes the larg-
est gift ever asked from any people
at one time. It is hoped that the
amount is oversubscribed at least
o.. ' half, as the needs for the funds
will be much greater than was figur-
ed on at the time the am.iunt was
allotted.

October 31, at 6 p. m. at the Baptis;

weakened her to such a'degree that
she fell a victim to the influenza.

our soldiers and sailors when not re-
ceiving their l-ations from their own
service. It can be readily seen that
if smal waste were allowed in the
supr 'y of each one of so many mil-
lions, the aggregate loss would be
enormous. AtA this rate, one nound
of sugar should furnish the entire al-
lowance for 45 meals. Piease ar-
range your plans acocrdingly. When
serving coffee, tea o'r chocolate, the
strict allowance of one teaspoonful

protect the reserves of our boys for

your power.

By Bruce Barton
I WILL tell you what will happen some
night this winter in Fiance. Some
night when its cold and dark. There
will be a rustling through the front line
trench, where our boys stand guard. And
heavy ladened Secretary will make
his way along.
In his hands will be great steaming
pots: in his pocket chocolate and ciga-
rettes.
From one man to another he will go,
passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands
that tremble with the cojd; bringing the
comfort of a bit of sweet and a smoke.
Men will hail him cheerily, slapping/
him on the back; and when he has gone!
things will be a little easier in that trench
because he has passed that way.
How much will it coat to make that
trip, do you suppose? Counting the
pittance that the Secretary is paid, and
the cost of the chocolate and the ciga-
rettes and all?
Five dollars? Twenty-five dollars?
I do not know.
But whether it is five dollars or
tweirty-five, I'd like to think that it is
my five or twenty-five—wouldn't you?
That some night when it's cold and lone-
some, my money and yours might send a
Secretary out along that frontlinetrench.
Let's make up our minds that we are
going to pay for a score of those trips.
A score of the nights this winter shall be
our nights
—nights when tho boys greet joy-
ously the chocolate and cigarettes that
our money provided; and are happier
because our representative has passed.
