A BETSY ROSS FLAG.

Mrs. Clara Mapes, of 422 Bolton
street east Savannah, has replica OF
the famous Betsy Ross flag, made by
a Mrs. Rachael Albright, granddaugh-
ter of Betsy Ross.
The flag, which is little larger than
a sheet of paper, was shown at the
patriotic service at First Presbyterian
church last Sunday and created a great
deal of interest.
Mrs. Albright was 80 years old in
1904, when she made the flag, and
presented it to Mrs. Mapes, one OF
her close friends. Mrs. Albright lived
at Fort Madison, Iowa, and died in
1905.
Mrs. Mapes' mother, Mrs. Chandler
who lives in Indiana, has a flag said
to have been made by Betsy Ross
herself, so the family feel they are
rather intimately associated with the
woman who made the first rea

LET US EMULATE EXAMPLE
OF THE WOMEN OF FRANCE

UE IHE NOmEN OE hA~NCG
Now that We southern women are
about to be plunged into the terrible
realities of war that has hitherto
seemed so far from our doors; now
that we have been called on to give
up our sons, our brothers, our hus-
bands, for the service Of our country
l hope from the depths of my heart
that we may emulate our noble and he
roic sisters of France still further by
making our sacrifices with cheer and
with Joy, as becomes the women of a
thoroughbred race.
The thing that impressed me most
in Paris during the years 191J-l9l6,
when the siege of Verdun was at its
height, when the vibration of guns
could be felt in the capital city, and
when the dreaded Zeppelins were I'M
leading their horrible freight on the
Parisians and their century-old land
marks-the thing that impressed me
most was the courage, cheer and no.
BILE acceptance of suffering on tie part
cf the French women. Scarcely wom-
an in Paris but had lost near rela-
tive or dear friend in the war Scarce
woman in Paris, in any social strata,
but had been deprived Of many COM
forts and much money. Yet in public
places, in the theatres, the parks, the
avenues, there was no atmosphere of
righteousness or gloom. The soldiers
on leave were seen in all the outdoor
resorts, so dearly loved by the French,
surrounded by their families, their
womanfolk neatly and pleasantly
dressed; the circle of relatives were
indulging in the decent amusements
which the city still afforded. The thea
tres and picture shows were always
filed; the opera and concert always
well patronized.
Among the French people that !
knew I never heard any reference to
economies Though of course many
were practiced), or to sacrifices.
Life proceeded as normally as was
possible under the circumstances and
the nation seemed to appreciate the
fact that as much liveliness and cheer
must be encouraged as was compatible
with the great emergency 1t is imper-
alive that a nation which is being
taxed as terribly as France must be
sustained and buoyed up by reasona-
Bile recreation and human cheerfulness.
A prominent business woman told
me in Paris in the summer of 1916 that
the sales of perfumery at the Grand
Magazin du Louvre (the largest de-
partment store in Paris) had exceeded
all other June sales of previous years.
This fact naturally surprised me very
much and my friend explained that
when the soldier was home on leave he
spent money generously on his family
or sweetheart, which was, after all,
natural reaction. 1t is fortunate that
this is so, for the Industrious must be
maintaiped during war or the nation
will perish.
We cannot do better than initiate
the French women on these points.
While the war lasts we must be as
happy as we can; we must spend as
freely as is compatible with our cir
ounlstances: we must encourage legit-
innate recreation; we must forget our
personal griefs and sacrifice and give
joyously and freely in this terrible
struggle which is being fought so that

done. Is it a special machine or is
it a special process? Could you give
a little enlightenment on this prop
osltion, or can you turn this letter
over to someone who might do so? I
asked our county agricultural agent
here what he knew about it and he
said that he did not have any idea as
to what it was, and he is highly in
terested in knowing and is anxiously
awaiting an answer to this letter.
Anything that will help the conser-
vation of crops, ETC., is of prime in
terest these days and if you can give
me little light on this matter L will
be greatly obliged to you. Your item,
| think, referred to the method as the
John Deere method, but the local
agent of the company here seemed to
be in the dark on the subject.
Cordially,
