Nothin’, but 1 always offer up a rayer of thanskg y time we get ome, especially when Uncle Hiram’s een drivin’. I can’t explain it to you. Come to ride with us to-morrow and you'll understand what I mean.” The next afternoon the party set forth with a Harrington a delighted pas- wenger. Later her delight diminished.

They are offering their lives and using their abilities, not as specialists in advertising, but as men and citizens. Many other advertising men, who are barred by one restriction or another from serving with the colors, can serve their country by giving their special advertising talents. By executive order President Wilson has created the Division of Advertising of the Committee on Public Information. The men ap- pointed as directors of this work are all advertising men. Through this official Division of Advertising, advertising has been officially recognized, and advertising men have now an official channel through which their suggestions can reach the Government. Advertising men can help (1) By organizing their local clubs for war advertising work; that is, have them ready for instant service on Hurry-up call by telegraph or mail. By contributing ideas which they think may help in furthering the work of (a) the Food Administration (b) the Fuel Administration (c) the War Saving Stamps Campaign (d) the Liberty Loans (e) the Red Cross (f) the War Camp Work (both in and outside the camps) If you live in a community where there is no advertising club, see that one is organized—at least for the period of the war—and offer it to the Division of Advertising through W. C. D'Arcy, Pres. of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. U. S. Government Committee on Public Information Division of Advertising WM. H. JOHNS, Chairman W.C. D’ARCY 0O.C. HARN HERBERT S.
