W. C. T. U. COLUMN
Our weekly meeting August (>,
met after the close of the ai'ter-
uoon number of the Chautauqua,
several members and one guest
•coming to our rooms where Mrs.
Geyer read the scripture lesson
aud voiced an earnest prayer.
Roll called. Mrs. Sanders, chair-
roan of the library committee,
called for volunteers to remain at
the building the afternoons from
August 8, and many responded.
Those who have not taken their
(.urn communicate with Mrs. San-
ders, and she will arrange a date
for you. A few remarks from our
guest, Mrs. Steen, of Los Angeles,
California, whom we were pleased
to nave with us again. Mrs. Steen
was Miss May Addison, and is
well known here, the family re-
siding in Canadian many years.
We are pleased to welcome Mrs.
Kenneth Young and Mrs. J. O.
Keesling among our members
lately. While our membership is
a large one, would that all our
women belonged to our union.
As you 4II probably know our state
jpaper, "The White Ribbon," is
mow edited by Mrs. Nannie Curtis,
she sending for a list of paid up
members. The list was sent with
a few names of those who have
failed to pay their dues as yet thiv
year, so trust said dues will be
paid as soon as possible. For
your yearly dues of one dollar
you get this little paper, now 35
cents, 40 cents goes to our State
work leaving 25 cents for our
local work, so you can see how
badly the dues are needed. True
donation now and then helps
out, but as some one has remark-
ed. "Tbe W. C. T. U. gets along on
if,he least money of any organiza-
tion known." One dollar a year
for temperance work—surely no
woman will begrudge that small
sum.
All will be grieved to know
that Mrs. Curtis, our loved presi-
dent, is quite ill in the Baptist
Sanitarium at Dallas, and all
pray for her speedy recovery.
Both houses of the Nebraska
legislature ratified the suffrage
amendment unanimously August
2, mal(ing"14 states to ratify.
the sorrowing daughter, relatives
and friends, the Canadian W. C.
T. U. extends heartfelt sympathy
and can only cite them to the One
who sustained and cheered Aunt
Alice on the weary journey to her
heavenly home. May we share
their grief and look forward to the
loving welcome "Aunt Alice" is
waiting to give her loved ones
as they cross one by one to the
other shore.

TAILORED TO MEASURE
You know it used to be that
when you wanted a new suit your
mother stretched you on the floor
and cut a pattern as near like
you as possible. Then she went to
town and bought what goods she
"figgered" would be necessary to
cover the job. Quite frequently
there wasn't enough and some-
times there was some left over.
We don't buy our clothes that
way now. We have them tailored
to fit.
The same thing applies to any-
thing that requires the combina-
tion of material and workmanship.
Do you know that you can have a
house made to measure just the
same as a suit of clothes? Have
everything figured out, see on the
plans just what you want, get your
cabinets built in and arrange-
ments just to your liking. You are
then in position to estimate the
cost of the finished product and
you will never have to worry about
[the number of two-by-fours and1
'the thousand artel one things
|you are not familiar with.
If you desire to know
these things can be secured just,
telephone 152, The North Texas.
Construction Company, and ask to
speak to Mr. Froelich. He will,
deliver you a finished product,!
tailored to fit the most fastidious
desire, and he just likes to carry
the other fellow's worry.

Intellinent
Saving
There is a very real value for every person in
the fact that by combining the money spent for
useless things one could purchase something
really worth while.
And that is all there is to intelligent saving.
Not hoarding -not miserliness—but wise judg-
ment about every cent that is spent. Get full
money's worth. Give up foolish present expen-
ditures in order to obtain in the future some
really substantial luxury.

The Salvation Army seeks a wider
field of service, now that it lias come
into recognition by the public as u
organization that is experienced and
efficient in relief and institutional
work for the poor and unfortunate
people of the country. The work
of the Salvation Army has been car-
ried on so quietly for the past fifty-
four years in this country that it
look the war to make the public re-
alize the value of this service.
In a recent interview Commander
Evangeline Booth pointed out the
fact that the Salvation Army did in
France the same sort of work that
the organization has 'been doing for
over half a century in this country.
She said, "The Salvation Army has
been toiling on the upward trend for
more than half a century, doing just
what it did in France, all in the
same spirit and manner, but you did
not happen to hear of It, perhaps, or,
if you heard of it at all, the work
did not impress you as monumental.
"The Salvation Army will change
its methods to the extent that it
will work harder than ever before.
It will do greater things and do
them more efficiently. It will reach
further and serve you better—and it
will be a more competent agent, to
represent you in the work that you
will entrust it to do. even as you
have entrusted it lot fifty years just'
past.
"We are going to reach further
into the dark alleys. We are going
still deeper into the slums. We are
going to provide more fresh milk for
starving babies. We are going to
house more old people, whose eyes
are dim and whose hands tremble
and whose lips quiver when they
note each setting sun. We are going
to comfort more of the lonely. We
are going to throw a longer and
stronger arm around young women
who take a misstep.
"We are going to do more prison
rescue work and stand behind the
down-and-outer just a little more
firmly than ever. We are going to
expand our nurseries and hike more
stifled little children out of the fetid
slums in the Summer to our fresh
air camps
We are going to cheer more men
who are out of work and who are
struggling to support their little fam-
ilies.
We are going to make our free em-
ployment bureaus bulge with new
energy and efficiency. We are going
to stick with the ex-service man, who
treated us so nobly in France, until
the end of all time, and we are going
io stand ready to serve his mother
and his father and his sister and
his brother, if he but gives us the
nod and opens the* door of opportu-
nity."
In order to carry out this pro-
gram of enlarged service, the Salva-
tion Army is asking for $6,000,000
from the West. Home Service Cam-
paigns for this purpose are now be-
ing put 011 throughout this territory.
MILITARY HONORS
