they are not justified in accepting," said one of the representatives of the bureau, who estimated that between $400 and $500 is turned back to the Government in this manner every working day.
One cf tbe letters received at the bureau came from the mother of a soldier who has been in the heavy fighting in France. "I do not believe this is a time for me to be accepting money which the Govemment needs in the conduct of the war," the mother's letter, stated. "I am glad enough to give my boy. The Govemment is do¬ ing its best to get money throug^h the sale of bonds and War Savings Stamps, and as long as I am able to work imd get alohg without the al¬ lotment 1 do not think I ouprht to take it."
Mr. Lewisohn is superintendent of the North Atlantic District of the War Risk Insurance Bureau The district includes approximately one-fifth of the population of the country.

TH£ BOY FROM
NEXT DOOR
You used to see him awing (ally down the street, radiant with the vigor of his sturdy young manhood. One day he came home in khaki; then hia father told you, with mingled pride and foreboding, that he had "gone acroaa" with his regiment.    .
Yestenlay hia name was on the cas¬ ualty list—"slightly wounded"—and your face grew grave aa you thought of the sorrow and' suspense of his father and mother.
From every city street, every vil¬ lage, every community, the boy next door has gone to war.
Think of these thousands of splend¬ id young Americans, reared in com¬ fort, peace and security, now sudden¬ ly plunged into that roaring inferno of battle with the hardened hordes of a desperately determined foe.
What are you doing to help them?
What are you doing to arm and pro¬ tect them, and bring them home in safety? Have you bought Liberty Bonds? Have you bought all you possibly can?
Has it occurred to you that one more Bond, bought with a little addi¬ tional effort, may save the life of the boy from' next door?
BUY   ANOTHER   BOND!
FREEPORT WILL GO
OVER $500,000
Fceeport was not satisfied with its Haota. oi 1896,000 for the Fourth Lib¬ erty Loan, and is still going atrong, although we went over the top Tues¬ day aftemoon.
The idea in Freeport is not to do our little^ bit, but our biggest bit, and the only question seems to be how much a man can raise, beg or borrow to lend to help OUR boys fight.
The amount Wednesday had reached 1460,000 and it is confidently antici¬ pated now that it will go over $500,000.

——<CBuY Liberty Bonds >—— Service   Club   StiU  Oosed
The War Camp Community Service Chib is still closed and will remain so during the continuance of the Spanish influenza epidemic. The active work- era, who have been devoting from 1 to*7 nights a week at the fooms are at a loss as to what to do with their spare time after having adjusted their schedule of the day so as to give thia considerable amount of it to the work at the club.
It is a sure prediction that the sol¬ diers and sailors will be warmly greeted when the rooms are open again.
Notes on the Work We shall miss Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Williams, both of whom have been active ¦porkers at our club rooms since we opened up in the Spring. They have moved to Suffem, N. Y., where Mr. Williams has taken a position.
Contributions
These contributions were noted on our duty book the week previous to closing our rooms temporarily:
Mrs. Morris Miller, 5 lbs. sugar.
Frank Devlin, cash, $10.      ^
Flinch Club, 2 weeks, $2.
Miss Miriam M. Campbell, 2 books: also a box of fudge.
Mr. Holland, 10 packages of ciga¬ rettes.
Mr. Lester, 600 cigarettes.
Mrs. F. A. Hom, cigarettes.
Miss Josephine Laterza, flowers.
Walter Moore, cigarettes.
Mrs. H. Polk, cigaretffes.
C. J. Martin, $2 for cigarette fund.
Miss Mabie Powell, Victnrfa record.
George B. Patterson, 100 cigarettes, 12 boxes matches.

The date set for the Freeport Wo¬ man's Ambulance Fund Committee for service in the Community Ro<ans has been poatponed owing to the closing of the rooms on account of influenza. The date for the above committee will be announced later in this paper.

carry one or more of these weapons Thousands upon thousands of them are in use now, and more must be pro¬ vided in an unending stream.
It is well for the people of Free- port to fix these facts firmly in their minds, for they are about to buy a great number of machine guns with which the boys of this place, who are in the service, will shoot the Kaiser's soldiers full of holes.
One light Browning machine gun costs the Govemment about $125. Each resident of freeport who will lend the United states Govemment $250 will know that he or she is pay¬ ing for two of those weapons, and may be assured that those very guns will soon be spraying with bullets the bru- ! tal Boches who are trying to ruin the ] world.
The way to lend this money to thu Govemment—which means to your¬ self—will be open to each of you when the bonds of the fourth Liberty Loan are put on sale. It will take only five | $50 bonds to pay for those two ma¬ chine guns, and if you cannot afford to take all five of them, the members of your household can combine to pur¬ chase that number. Then, when later you read about a bunch of the Free- port boys lying in a machine gun nest in France beating back a counter at¬ tack of the Huns, you can say: "May¬ be they are using the guns our fam¬ ily paid for." Freeport has some¬ thing like 9,000 population. Our Lib¬ erty loan director is informed that we must take at least $395,000 of the bonds of the fourth loan, lliat means that Freeport will buy over 8,000 light Browjiinjr machine guns to help make the world a decent place to live in.
—--< Buy Liberty Bonds">—— Mothers* Meeting
The first meeting of the Mothers' Club was held last Wedneaday after¬ noon in the kindergarten room of the Grove Street School. Mrs. Clark, the president, was in charge of the meet¬ ing. Miss Anna Clark, National work¬ er for the Y. W. C. A., spoke on wo¬ men and their responsibilities in war times. She ¦ told of the courageous ways the French and English women bave worked and worried and given all that they had in their brave ef¬ forts to "carry on," and of the way American women have begun to work and of the way they will have to work now in the war emergency and still Bioie in the period of reconstruction which is a great task for women. Then Misa Clark read a letter from a Free- port girl askipg to have some club work started here so that different girls could express their patriotism by doing whatever is most needed to¬ gether, so that they could have the strengrth which united effort and or¬ ganization gives. Miss Clark said that all the resources of the Y.' W.' C. A., and its war work council were at the disposal of groups of girls who want to work together. After the meeting Miss Clark Uilked with Mrs. Reach, Mrs. Earon, Mrs. Hamilton King and several other women ^bout

In addition to thia is a fund to be   Merrick Auxiliary
used for purchasing history prizes for several consecutive years, to be known as the Ward C. Moon History Prize. Although Mr. Moon's record as an educator, together with his sterl¬ ing traits of character, need not be supplemented by any additional me¬ morial, in order to perpetuate his memory, the faculty feel that this yearly reminder of their superintend¬ ent will prove both a pleasure and an inspiration.
What Mr. Moon has done for our public school system canot be com¬ puted in figrures. Such things are not reckoned by the multiplication table, nor solved by geometrical progression. He has raised the educational stand¬ ard in every particular. He haa made the iichool system both practical and modem, laying at all times especial stress on the essentials—writing, composition, business arithmetic and spelling. His one aim from first t)b last has been the ultimate good of the pupil.
Although deploring their own loss, the teachers appreciate the honor which has come to our schl>ols in the selection of Mr. Moon for important educational work in France. Their best wishee go with him and they feel assured that his labors in the land of our brave ally will be crowned with the s'ame aucceaa that attended hia work here.

Thc hospital linen, consisting of 200 bath towela, 260 hand towels, 100 sheets and 260 handkerchiefs, was de¬ livered to the Nassau County Chap¬ ter on Tuesday and grreatest praise was given the Freeport Branch for filling, its quota with such attractive and durable articles.
We again solicit contributions to¬ ward this linen fund as there is still a considerable deficit. $2.35 will pur¬ chaae'a set.
At the annual meeting of the Free- port Branch, held on October 9, the reports for the year were given and reflect great credit on the Red Croes organization rn this village and also on Mrs. Henry Leray Maxson, the re¬ tiring chairman.
The officers for the ensuing year were elected and are as follows: chairman, Samuel R. Smith, to whom we are deeply grateful for accepting the office; vice chairman, Mra. Alfred T.

Planning Rummage Sale
The Freeport M. E. Sunday School will hold a rummage sale in the va¬ cant atore on Brooklyn Avenue, nea' Main Street, next Friday and Satur¬ day, October 25 and 26.
The committee in charge solicity contributiona of men's, women's and children's clothing of all kinds; also fhoea, houaehold utt^nsils, furniture, blanketa, etc. The articles may be left
The following item was sent in by a businesa neighbor of the Mmitross family on Grove Street:
A fine example of American patri¬ otism may be found in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Montrosa of 68 South Grove Street. Their three aona, the entire family, except father and mother, are now volunteers in the aer¬ vice of their country,, the youngest having enlisted as soon as he arrived at the age of eighteen yeara.
The boys are Phillip Jerome, Austin Andrew and Fred Newman. Exam¬ ples of this kind would almost seem to justify the remarks of a distinguished American citizen who made the atate- ment that a million men would spring to arms over night in defense of our country if they were needed.
What if Freeport has gone over the top? What have you done? This mother and father have really given till it HURTS. Have you—-it is a aafe bet in 99 cases out of a hundred you have not.
Buy another bond—give the Kaiser another kick—never mind if you will still be paying off on thera after the war is finished—millions of mothers like Mrs. Montross may be paying as long as memory lasts.
—-< Bbv LiBE"RfY Bonds >—— Liberty Girls Receive Honors
The Liberty Girls are to receive certificates of honor for their work this week at the improvised hospital in Mineola. Mrs. Francke, chairman of the committee for planning the epidemic work, aays that the spirit the girls have shown is wonderful and that in the future they can always be justly proud of the spirit they have shown and the work they have done. They should be especially praised be¬ cause they have done the disagree¬ able work with willingness. Plenty of people are ¦ ready to say: "I would wash dishes, scrub floors or do any¬ thing for the soldiers," but just the same it is a test when it comes right down to working hard every day for a week in a position that is not wholly^ without danger to tne workers. The girls have proved that they have the truly American spirit for winning the war and that they were organized for a purpose. Monday noon the call came and ten of them went to Mineola on the 2:00 o'clock trolley. From the Chapter House they were taken to the building which is being used for a hospital where they washed dishes and helped in other ways all after noon. 'That evening they made influ enza masks at the Red Cross rooms in Freeport and the next moming the same girls and some new workers went back to Mineola where they are working all week with such pep that they have won the respect and praise of everyone who has seen them work.
All men fear me!
I declare that Uncle Sam ahall aat BO to his knees to beg yoa to bay Ua- bonda. That ia no poeitieai for a' fighting man. But if yon have the money to buy. and do not bay, I will make tJiia No Man's Land for you!
I will judge you not by an allegiance ezpreeacd in mere words.
I will judge you not by your mad cheers as our boys march away to whatever fate may have in store for them.
I will judge you not by tiie wanatli of the tears yon shed over tile liata ef the dead and tlie injured that come to us from time to time.
I will judge you not by your un¬ covered head and solemn mien aa our maimed in battle retum to our ahoree for loving care.
But, as wise as I am just, I will judge you by the material aid you give to the fighting men who are fac¬ ing death that you may live and move and have your being in a world made safe.
