What IWill Hennessey Do!
The war committee of the Y. M. C. A. is raising money to be expended for th< welfare of the boys who are in training camps and
in the trenches. Hennessey boys are there and Hennessey people should help provide for their convenience and comfort. The in-
fluence or "home" has been removed from the loyal fellows. Hence, the Y. M. C. A. is endeavoring to sustain this great influence
as far as possible.
You are anxious for your government and your country to put up a good fight-A WINNING FIGHT. By helping the Y. M. C.
A. in their war campaign, the war can be won more quickly because the morale of the men is more easily maintained.
You are willing to help the man FIGHT YOUR BATTLE!
You are willing to provide a few comforts for the men WHO ARE LITERALLY GOING INTO A HELL for this your country.
Then contribute to the fund that Hennessey is raising for her share in a great humanitarian cause
Your son, your brother, or even your father may benefit from it. We may all have to go. Give something, no matter whether
large or small. Every bit helps. The committee will call on YOU. Meet them with a contribution, and give it smilingly.

v Why Not a Home Guard
Many other towns throughout this I
state and other states have organized
home guard companies for emergency
service. There is no reason why Hen-
nessey should not do likewise. Those
who are not subject to the draft
could enlist in such an organization.
