The meeting was called to order in the tabernacle about 8:25 by Chairman John E. Baird and the first number was a selection, Larboard Watch, rendered by the Echo Male quar tet after which Mr. A. M.

She can tell you also of incidents when the hostess house has brought about a happy ending. Prayers of gratitude for the Hostess House are murmured every night in many towns by women who are of no particular importance to any one except to some man to the army and to God. The commandants of the camps are as appreciative of the hostess houses as is the most forlorn woman. No house is erected except at the direct request of the commanding officer. Fifty-fou- r houses are now in use, others are being built as fast as lumber and carpenters can be secured. Each house has its individuality. The plans for the building at Camp Gordon, Atlanta. Georgia, were redrawn by Miss Fay Kellogg in order to save three magnificent oak trees. A fine old Southern mansion secured for the Young Womens Christian Association headquarters at Petersburg, Virginia, is as popular with the soldiers from Camp Lee as is the official hostess house. The hostess houses serve the entire nation. The work with girls Is one of the most important functions of the War Work Council. It deals with all kinds of work with girls. Girls in small towns, in cities, in country villages, and in the great manufacturing centers are all touched by the unusual conditions of a country in a state of war preparation. Their patriotism may urge them toward unexpected Their very enthusiasm leads them into danger. pit-fall- s.

IN IN DJI UNIT The men who signed the pledge to join the National Guard unit are not all redeeming the pledge. At the meeting held a number of days ago when officers from the Adjutant Generals office were present, 82 men attached their signatures to the recruit? ing blanks and since that, time the committee has been successlul in getting only 16 more to sign up so the unit lacks two men of .ng complete. When the physical evaminations are made it is almost a certainty that some of the men will be rejected and so it is necessary, really, to have more than one hundred recruits in order to guarantee the organization of a company. Permission has been given to recruit as many as 250 men but it is absolutely necessary to have one hundred signed up before the physical will examination begin. Therefore, the committee and the men who have signed the recruiting cards feel that the balance of the fellows who have signed the pledge petition should come forward and attach their names to the army blank and become a member of the National Guard as they promised to do. Many of the men who signed the pledge did so because they saw the name of some other man on It, and all, it was assumed, signed up in good faith. The committee as .well as the State officials, are very anxious to have the organization perfected so that active training can begin. Over 120 men signed that pledge and but two more are needed before any further steps can be taken. Following are those who have enlisted since the first meeting, a couple of weeks ago: Hyrum Thorn, R. A. Hummel, Aurelius Johnson, B. L. Abramson, Albert Steggell, Preston L. Wright, Perry D. Peters, Lewis M. Olsen, Woodruff H. Jensen Frank R. Holman, Orvis Cornla, D. Carter Cor-niJ. Edward Ryan, M. Grant Hansen, John Petersen and N. A. Macdonald. a, WOMANS DAY NEXT TUESDAY. On Tuesday next, the women of the nation are going to make a campaign for recognition in the purchase of Limovement is berty Bonds. The meant to secure a wider distribution of bond purchases and heads of families are urged to make their Investment to this Fourth Loan in such a way as to include the wife and as many children as possible, as individ-iua- l puchasers In this connection the women are urged to make a campaign for themselves and stimulate Interest In their cause. The statemeut is made that the liquor traffic never was enjoying such a prosperous existence to Kelton and Park Valley as at the present time. This assertion was made to the News editor on Wednesday by one of the most prominent citizens of that valley and he declared that so flagrant have the traffickers become in the prosecution of their unlawful business that they are now passing out into liquor to minors. As a case in point, this gentleman cited the experience of two 18 year old boys who were found dead drunk one day uis week. Tlie traffic has become so open and obnoxious that the better element threatens to take the law Into their own hands, according to the statement of the gentleman, and deal with the lawbreakers in some manner. Parents are complaining that their youthful sons are being enticed to purchase whiskey for which they are charged as much as $40 per gallon It is reported that certain parties make regular trips over into Nevada and return with their autos laden with whiskey and there is no one in that section of the county to apprehend them. The gentleman who makes these statements said that so long as the old liquor users drank their own whiskey there was not but since the traffic has been made more general and minors can obtain the death dealing stuff at any time, the dry element has become aroused and something is going to happen. The County Commissioners will doubtless be appealed to to appoint a deputy sheriff in Park Valley in order that an officer may be constantly on the ground. Those who have traveled over the road between Park Valley and Lucin during the past summer, have had ample evidence that booze is coming Into Box Elder County by the wholesale for the way is strewn with empty bottles of every description. The Park Valley citizen declares it to be his honest belief, arrived at after numerous occular evidences, that booze is constantly on sale at Kelton and the young men of Park Valley make frequent trips to that point and come back well supplied.
