Some Members
Secured Every Day
There has not been a day ^ince the
Y. M. Q. A. Continental Membership
Campaign started but what our local
association has received new mem-
bers. Yesterday was rainy, disagree-
able, but a few new members were
brought in. However, if we are go-
ing to lead the state it’s going to
take some tall hustling the remaining
days. Captain Hardeman’s team is
still in the lead, with C^pt. Armistead
second.
You men who have been thinking
of sending in your application, will
you please do so at once? We would
be glad to have your application for
membership any time, but we would
especially appreciate it during the
present campaign, which closes Fri-
day.
What a splendid record Palestine
has made up to this^Jme. Shall we
keep up the record, or shall we fail
in the last two or three days? The
Palestine Y. knows no defeat, and if
you men will line up with us—good
and strong'p-until Friday night we
will wlq a wonderful victory.
Every campaign worker, without
an exception,* and every new mem-
ber who has joined during the cam-
paign, is urged to meet at the asso-
7:30. The meeting will net hold
over 45 minutes, but it will be of tre-
mendous Importance.
“Palestine must lead!” On with
the battle! Secretary.

FOOD CHARGES
Two Meatless
Days 3 Week

Paris, Nov. 2.—Two meatless
days a week, Thursday and Fri-
day, was decided upon by tiie
cabinet while discussing the food
supply. ; A decree to that effect
(By Associated Press.)
Chicago, 111., Nov. 22.—With re-
ceipt of information which offi-
cials say tends to support the .be-
lief that certain produce dealers
are permitting, fruits, and' vege-
tables to rot in the fields in order

ney directs federal agents to

Art At the Front
By the Soldiers
French Front. — (Correspondence
Of -the Associated Press.—An exposi-
tion of “Art at the Front” composed
of the creations of soldiers’ of the
French army now on view at Com-
piegne includes ^ contributions from-
every branch, of the Service.
Pictures in oils and water colors,
• V ... '
colored crayons aad pencil, charcoal
and burnt wood are displayed side by
side with statuettes carved out of-
chalk or soft stone or modelled in
piaster colored to represent nature.
Metal objects ^haae of shell cases,
hammered m heautirui designs to
form flower holders and lamps, and
splinters of steel shells made into
paper weights and inkstands, rifle
cartVidges transformed into pen and
pencil holders, paper cutters, thim-.
bles and- other useful things, fuses
made into . finger and napkin rings,
faftcy work baskets fashioned out of
the long wicker cases in which loaded
projectiles for the big guns are con-
veyed to the firing line—all give evi-
dence that art goes together with
war. •
Many of. the pictures exhibit a
strength which can never be found in
any academical salon, They all rep-
resent objects of actuality as seen by
the men themselves and reproduced
in such a way as to bring home to
those who see them the conditions
under which the soldiers live in face
of the enemy. There is no idealism
oi fantasy in the mens work—all is
realism. Tihs, however, does not pre-
vent many of the artists from portray-
ing humor in its broadest sense, for
the soldier ih the field is1 very keen
ol the comic side, and some of {he
caricatures are excellent.
Few people have had the opportu-
nity of seeing the exposition, owing
to 'the difficulty of ’ reaching Com-
piegne under the restrictions of war
time, but arrangements have been
made for the transfer of the collection
to Paris and possibly later to Amer-
ica. It is probable that the work of
the soldiers of other French armies
will be. joined together with this ex-
hibit.
The soldier-artists are content with
very small recompense for their
works. They have given them up in
order to provide themselves with a
few small comforts during the coming
winter, on condition that purchasers
make a contribution towards the as-
sistance of tibeir wounded and in-
valid comrades.
There are works by winners of the
prize of Rome of the French Academy
who were, mobilized while pursuing
their studies, and some of these in
later years may come to be regarded
j as masterpieces. '

(By Associated Press.) .
Berlin, Ncprl 22.—Roumanian at-
tacks have been repulsed and grounfi
gained on the Rotherhurn Pass road
tod in Alt Valley, the war office aays.
Contractors are being asked to bid
on the job of remodeling the I. ft G.
-V passenger depot in this city. The
work is to begin soon, and plans
for same have about been finished.
The interior of the building is to be
remodeled, and new furnishings will
be provided. And the improvement
is very much needed.
. ' It is to be regretted that along with
these changes the road could not see
its wav to pave the depot premises
and provide train sheds, which are
needed, this being one of the most
important places on the road, be-
cause of the numerous passenger
transfers, etc. In going from
train to the other passengers fre-
quently have to wade mod shoe-
mouth deep. This hr* caused suffer-
ing in many instances.
