Gov. BilbO Thinks War
May Last IS Years

Laurel, Miss, Dec. 10-In his
address before the Teachers
Association of the Sixth Con
gressional District last night in
the High School auditorium,
Gov. r. G.. Bilbo expressed the
belief that the worId-war for
democracy will continue for Is
years, and that the man who
fails to stand up for PATRIOTS N
in the United States is not true
American citizen.
He decleared that every Amer
ican, no matter what his posit.
ion in life may be, he owes it to
the government to stand up for
liberty and patriotism, and the
obligation is more serious when
it comes to one occupying a posi-
ii N in public life. He urged the
conversation of foods and full
observance of the wheatless and
meatless days.

No News Good News

Although the failure to receive
Letters from men in the service
is not pleasant to relatives and
friends at home the adage nc
news is good news never was
more true than at present. The
report OF every casualty at home
or abroad is i'm mediately wired
or cabled to officials at WaShi ng-
ton. being relayed from there
without loss of time to the emer.
gency address Of the soldier or
sailor affected. 1t is also at once
released for publication in the
newspapers. No news of casual
ties has or WILDE held up.
No man in the service has re-
ceived orders not to write home;
he has been urged, on the con-
trary, to keep in touch with rela'
tives and friends.
Care is also taken to see that
mail intended for soldier and
sailors reaches them promptly.

to do this brought about the suit

BIG DRIVE FOR RED CROSS

On next Monday the big drive for Red Cross
membership will be launched in Stone county
The purpose of the campaign will be to enroll $50
members of the organization in the county.
We have responded literally to every demand
made npon us in behalf of the war; Let it not be said
that we failed in this@nstance
Up to this time Stone County has been 100 per
cent patriotic We must maintain that record
Stone county has furnished more than her quota
of volunteers for the army the navy the national guard
the officers reserve corps, and the aviation corps
Stone county subscribed more than her quota to
both of the Liberty Bond issues, the Y NJ c. A. wal
fund, and the War Camp Fund.
Our record of past performances is above criticism
We must cherish that record
1t is not unreasonable to ask for $50 members Of
the Red Cross in Stone county We have both the popu
lation and the patriotism that fully justify such
bership.
The duty before us, therefore, is to right
across with those $50 MEMBERS promptly and patriotic
ally.
If you are already member of the Red Cross
pay your dollar and join again. The new plan is to
start all memberships the first of January.
If you are not member, be doQbly quick in CIV
ing your doar-and one dollar is all that will be ask of
