At the least the first big preliminary to the active campaign, will be presented at a rousing meeting. President Fred C. Richmond of the Salt Lake Commercial Club will be the speaker and the Echo Male Quartet and others will render a musical program. It is also anticipated that one of the returned soldiers lrom the French front will bd in attendance. Before the meeting is called, the Boy Scouts will have a big bon fire on Central School square about seven oclock and all the people of the city are invited to be on the ground and participate in the outdoor exercises before going into the Tabernacle for the meeting. The building ought to be filled. If the Fourth Liberty Loan is kxed at 16,000,000,000, Box Elder countys allotment will be $357,400. THIS IS BELGAIN OLD CLOTHES WEEK. During this week and until Monday next, the Red Cross chapter of this county, will receive clothing to be sent to Belgium and France there to be distributed among the destitute people who face death by freezing unless they are provided with sufficient clothes to keep them warm. The committee is collecting clothing at the Boothe building near the court house, and all kinds of clothes, except rubber goods and derby hats, will be gratefully accepted. The clothes do not need to be new, but they should be clean and should be delivered in bundles securely tied up. The following eloquent plea has come from Herbert Hoover, who is now in France, in the form of a cablegram to the American Red Cross: The ten million imprisoned people in occupied Belgium and France are facing shame, suffering, disease and some of them death for lack of clothing this winter. They must be helped. I hope that the Red Cross will undertake a renewed campaign to obtain this clothing in America. It can come only from us. Your first cam paign yielded magnificient results, bringing in fully 5,000 tons of clothcondition. But much ing in good more is needed if these people are to get thru the winter in decency and safety. In the tace ol brutal coercion anil spiritual suffering they remain splendidly courage our ous.

The War Work Council was formed as an emergency measure to taka care of the women who were caught in some of the mazes of war, just ai the parent organization has taken care of them through many years ol peace. The varied activities decided upon by the War Work Council follow closely the needs of the differ ent communities of the country. Soo retaries trained in the methods ol the organization were sent out broadcast. They were instructed to report to the National Board of tha Young Women's Christian Associa Hons in New York the lines of work which could be best followed in tha various localities. These eecretariei work in close cooperation with ministers, women's clubs, chambers ol commerce, churches, military officials, and charitable societies. The reo ord of a day's doings of a secretary reads like a novel, an economic treatise, and a psychological essay all compressed into a entry A secretary sent out by the Wai Work Council must be equal to any emergency. Miss Lillian Hull at Chil licethe, close by Camp 8bermaa, hurrying along the street at nightfall came upon a forlorn couple. A Finnish soldier had found a job for hit wife, so that she might come on from Clsveland. When she arrived she was refused the place because she spoke no English. Their money had been all spent on the railroad fare, and the soldier was due bach at Camp. The situation was bad. Thanks to Misa Hull a Chillicotbian housewife now has an industrious and grateful domestic, a soldier la happy, and a soldiers wife is safe. Army folks often benefit even more directly from the secretaries work. In Bremerton, "Washington, a secretary was accosted on the street by a sailor. She was a slender woman, and he had mistaken her for a girl. "May I walk along with you? he asked. Surely, she replied with mature What understanding and intuition. is the matter? Are you homesick? The lad's story came out with a rush. Yes, he was homesick, so hopelessly, despairingly heartsick that he was on the verge of deserting. But this woman gave him genuine She sympathy and encouragement. saved him to his country. From north, south, east and west these pioneer secretaries sent in their reports. The appalling size of the undertaking was revealed to the War Woik Council. Systematization of the work was the first step. Out of the multitudinous phases certain lines of work were revealed. put the of women. To her came one day a letter from her only son. He was then at Camp Funston. Kansas, learning to be a soldier. The letter begged her to come and see him before he was sent to France. The mother the tin opened Mrs. Davison bank ,n whlch she had been hoarding her dimes anil quarters against this day. The money was scarcely enough. Nevmheless she started. She walked the first Then her strength eighteen miles gave out, and she took a train. She did not know that visitors to Camp Funston stay in Junction City, leven miles away. So she got off ths train at Fort Riley. An officer set her right and she reached Junction City after dark. Somehow she found a rooming-house- . Some on there stole five dollars from her fivtf of the preoious dollars she had earned over the wash tub and saved Terror-strickeshe by walking. erept out of the house when no one was looking. Later in the night a soldier found her trembling in the street, and took her to the rooms of the Young Womens Christian Association, rooms wh4eh the War Work Council had for trouopened as a clearing-housbles. The poor frightened woman was put to bed, but she was too miserable to sleep. The matron got up at daybreak, built a fire, and comforted her. The sons commanding officer was reached by telephone early in the morning, and the boy tame to his mother on the first trolley-car he could catch. The two spent long, hours together, perhaps the last hours they will have this side of heaven. Every moment was as precious as a month had been last year. The old lady had still one present woriy. The boy's bad cold might turn Into pneumonia if she left him. But she had not money enough to stay another night and buy a ticket home.
