PEACE WON'T BRING
BOY DOWN THE GAfiG PLABK
HE HAS YET TWO YEARS OF ARMY LIFE HIIEAD
OF
rm BEST WAY TO HELPVCELEBRATE THE VICTORY HE HAS
HELPED TO WIN IS BY A BIO OVER-SUBSCRIPTION
THIS EEK TO UNITED WAR WORK
Now that the boys have done the J -iob.
let's show them what we think of !
what they have done! ,
It took eighteen Jhonths of the
greatest kind .of pressure the combin
ed Allied fleets could bear to take our
boys to France. How long do you
think it is going to take to bring them
back? A month? Six months? You
know it can't possibly be done!
You won't fall down on your job
of caring for the boy who gave up all
he hd for you, will you?. You bet
your life you" won't! You would give
up your last dollar if you thought
the boys in khaki needed it. The time
has come to give. The week of Nov.
11th to 18th is a week to show how
we feel about the job these boys in
khaki has done "Over There."
Florida has been asked for a million
and Florida is going over the top just
as the boys, over there have gone
over the top.
V President Wilson, Secretary Baker,
Secretary Daniels, General Pershing
and the two million lads in khaki who
did the job have' put their stamp of
approval on the seven big organiza
tions in the United War Work Cam
paign.
The. boys have done their job, ac
cording to the' latest news from ( the
front, but you haven't done yours un
til you put this ; allied and united
drive, in America, over the top to
take' care of them til they get back
home, '. . ' ' : .
Keep the. home fires burning "Over
There." Give! Give again! Give until
it HURTS!!!

MAGAZINES FOR NOVEMBER
The public library furnishes this
month a royal feast to him who
wishes to be abreast of the thought
of the day. Just f a glance here and
there shows in Harper's how we are
"Keeping" the Soldiers in Touch with
Home," and what the "Chaos in Si
beria" is. Century has a. poem, "Song
of St. Helena and Two Emperors,"
which must give chills to the lat
kaiser. "Making of an Army Doctor"
is interesting to everybody whose phy
sician friend has joined the colors.
Scribner's gives us the story of a
"Canadian Gunner," and , shows in
Colonel Starrett's article that the re
sourcefulness of the United - States
proved to be her preparedness. In the
American Owen Wister pleads with
us to .forget the "Ancient Grudge,"
and shows why,", if we have any sense,
we must stop hating England. And
another story' tells of "Four Sins that
Soldiers Hate." Travel illustrates
many ways in ' which . "Home is
Brought to the Doughboy." The Spirit
of Missions has an article on "Am
erica, Ancient and Modern," and an
other telling of , the first Chinese
bishop, elected April, 1918. Living
Age for Nov. 2, has an article on
Germany's Ruling Idea, explaining
the belief that salvation or disaster

wonderful war tank. Every One tak

FROM A SOLDIER IN FRANCE
' . France, September 29.
Dear Mama and All: Sunday eve
ning and nothing to do but write. We
certainly have enjoyed the few days
of rest we have had here. I think we
are located here for a while at least.
But we will have to go to work again
soon, as it won't do for us to rest too
long as we might get lazy. I wish
I could have spent the" day with you.
We are right on the edge of a nice lit
tle town and the French people cer
tainly treat us nice. If we could only
talk with them of course we
eet on much better. But. Oh! that
language! I have got to where I caa4rn,nai
talk with them a little if I happen tol
find one-that can understand a little
English and quite a number of them
can understand some things.
I suppose they are beginning to
ship. oranges by ) now., If you had had
the weather there we have had here, I
am sure they would be colored up
nicelytry now. It took a month foi
me to get abetter from you. I got
your letter of Aug,. 26 on Sept. 27.
I received four letters from you last
week. We have a nice little "rest
room," fixed up in our quarters. It
is just a small room but we have
writing tables and the graphaphone.
I wrote you about the machine we got
when we were at Camp Jackson. We
brought it with us all the way and we
certainly get a lot of enjoyment out
of it now. We have no lights at all
here except candles. The town is
dark by 8 o'clock and we have to be
in bed and lights out by nine. The
same candles you get in the states for
one cent cost from five to seven cents
each here. ' . s

was good to look at the service "flair

the stars need turn to gold.
A patriotic -i-group Mr. DeWitfc r
-LGriffin as Uncle" Sam, with his aides,
H. B. Chaeny for the army and Frank
Rentz for the navy, occupied a point
of vantage before the service flag.
The . band was in the bandstand, and
interspersed the speeches with, ap
