 "A house divided against itself cannot stand" Then how can the works of the Alabama Division U. D. c. prosper when her very own refuse to cooperate in her work" The most important work of the Division Is the care of the living veter- ans. The small tax of 15 cents per capita is all that the Division ask or require. and there are few who disregard the requirement and yet call themselves members in good standing of the U. D. c. organization. The Division has no jurisdiction to be sure, but the moral ob- ligation and above all the love and pride for the organization should be the incen- tive to fulfill its rules and regulations. Shall we enact rules and laws to compel the high ideal-woman-to meet her moral obligation as a member of charitable or- ganizations?
 In accepting the apothegm that mo fact Is greater than the whole." is but acknowledging the few, who do not con- cede to the many in regard to rule and regulation out of order and in disrepute as to membership.
 How can our State be a unit of con- cord and glorify herself in the great work of the U. D. C., under such conditions? The amounts given by the different Chapters to the Mountain Creek Home" IS lHuttu anu HGdlllly joyed and endorsed by the Alabama Di- vision U. D. C.. but as matter of fact the Mountain Creek Home is not spe- cific part of the Division work and should be secondary in point of interest. The old soldiers cared for by the Alabama Di- vision U. D. c. cannot become inmates of the Mountain Creek Home. being bar red by the requirements, rules and regu- lations of the Home hence the duty to Our own should claim our first atten- ton. Let us join hands in one common cause. Our State work" making all else subservient to 1t. Let each Chap ter send to the Treasurer the 15 cents per capita tax for the maintenance Of the old soldiers. required in Article of the Bylaws, Constitution and Bylaws Alabama Division U. D. c.
