Opens Jubilee Drive to Get $1,000,000 and One Million Members One million women and one mil- lion dollars! One million Christian women united to guard the home- land. One million dollars to continue temperance education for the safe- guarding of our youth, for the pro- tection of the woman in industry, for the Americanization of the for- eign born mother and her child, and to send W. C. T. U. workers across seas to help win world prohibition. This is the bugle call sent out from the National W. C. T. U. headquar- ters in Evanston to its forty-nine state organization including Alaska to "speed on" its ten weeks' jubilee drive which closes May 31, 1919. When the Crusaders--the handful of pioneer temperance women--went into the trenches in Hillsboro, Ohio, in 1873, to banish the saloons in that town, they faced a storm of sneers and stones, and literally knelt in the mud to pray. No prophet could have foreseen that their courage and pray- ers would spread- like wildfire and their work be the forerunner of an organization literally encircling the world. The early leaders of the Woman's Temperance union--even with their big faith--could not have realized that five years before the golden jubilee anniversary it would have grown to a body of one-half million members, organized in every state, territory' and territorial pos- session, including the Philippine islands, Hawaii and Porto Rico, and in forty-four ¢ountries of the world. The million dollar drive is put on at this time as a thank offering to {and world prohibition. the Lord for the victory of national constituional prohibition and because the demands upon the work of the organization in the United States and from other countries of the world must be met. The Woman's Christian Temper- ance union has more than one idea. Frances E. Willard and her co- workers early established _depart- ments of work, covering preventive, evangelistic, legal, educational and patriotic phases which have broaden- ed and deepened during the ensuing years and which are intensified at the present time. Miss Anna A. Gordon, national president, is the general chairman of the Jubilee committee. Associated with her are Mrs. Ella Boole, New York, vice chairman; Mrs. Frances Parks, Illinois; Mrs. Margaret Munns, Illinois; Mrs. Elizabeth An- derson, North Dakota; Mrs. Sara H. Hoge, Virginia; Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingston, Rhode Island; Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, Georgia; Mrs. Eva C. Wheeler, California; Mrs. Edna R. Harvey, Maine. All state and ter- ritorial presidents and the national general secretaries of the young people's branch and Loyal Temper- ance legion act as the jubilee com- mittee advisory board. The budget will furnish money for work always emphasized by the or- ganization and especially needed now in the reconstruction and stabilizing period, child welfare, health and mor. ality, Americanization, women in in- dustry, education and information TARGET PRACTICE FOR N. U.R.O. T. C. AT FORT SHERIDAN Plenty of opportunity to learn how to shoot is to be given Northwest- ern's R. O. T. C. men. Beginning this week Colonel Homer N. Preston, who is in charge of the unit, will take his men to kort Sheridan where they will have the use of the rifle range, The range has just recently been gone over and put into shape, so that the men are considered very fortun> ate to have the opportunity of prac- ticing there. The R. O. T. C. will be divided into sections of 100 men each, and these units will be taken at different times to the fort. It is the plan of Colonel Preston to have given every man a chance for target practice w three weeks after the trips to the fort begin. Sell Victory Bonds Registration for the summer R. O. T. C. camp at Camp Custer began Saturday and many Northwestern students enrolled. The campus R. O. T. C. has bought and sold a total of $47,450 worth of Victory bonds in the campaign plac- ing the Northwestern unit's support of the loan above the University of linois.

E. Bridges If you should buy some coal and found that it burned up only half as fast as any you ever had before, gave a third 'more heat, was cleaner to handle, with practically no soot, and at the same time the water could be drained out of the radiators in your home so there could be no chance for leakage or freeze-up, you would very naturally insist upon that kind of coal forever after. This is the enviable position the Franklin car holds in the automobile market today, as compared with other cars. Is it any wonder that everyone who once has a Franklin will have no other thereafter and that the demand for Franklins is twice as great each year? Put Hard Things First The person who puts the disagree- able duty first in order is the one who is pretty sure to succeed. The impulse which leads us to postpone anything hard and unpleasant as long as we can is something which will prove our undoing, unless we are on our guard.
