If con- crete culyerts are necessary for the road over which he must haul the production of his own farm, they are necessary for others who are contributing their tax money with which to pay his salary.
 Talk of a general mass-meeting, at which the county's true situa- tion will be discussed, continues to be heard Some people are of the opinion that business efficiency should be demanded in bold, black letters. People who adhere to this view have no personal interest in the Judge and have no inclination to do him harm. The situation, how ever, has resolved itself into bus mess discussion of business insti- tuition. The county, regardless of the fact that it is generally looked upon as a toy for politicians to game with, is actually a going concern with thousands of dollars of reve- nue coming in each year, and thou sands of dollars to be paid out an- nually. Boys and children make good students, but man is required for a mans job The county should not be conducting prep. school for the substitution of B. 5. for an A.

 In the meantime The Daily Press is saving a few letters that are be- ginning to come in from the coun- try, and will publish them in ser ial form. They will make an inter- esting story of protestation.

Country People Join in Chorus of Protest- Farmers Cannot Understand How Crops Can Be Marketed If Bridges Are Permit ted to Rot and Decay.

 Farmers who expect to market their crops either in Paragould or some other Greene county town realize that unless bridges are rebuilt the roads cannot be used. They join loudly in the popular chorus of protest and agree that If the ex- ecutive head in charge of affairs does not do something that slightly resembles the earning of salary, they will be in favor of applying the recall by request if not by law.
 Men who are familiar with the platform on which the Judge made his race for office agree he prom ised the country people faithfully to spend four or five days each week supervising road work. It is also agreed that he pledged his solemn ] worn of honor to see that at leas

MRS. ELIZABETH ANN BAKER

On Tuesday evening at 600, Octo-
Der IL, Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Baker
passed TO her reward. The funeral
was conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Haas,
her former pastor, at Wallace
Chapel. Interment was in the Wal
lace Chapel cemetery. For many
years she and her husband have
been the only surviving charter
members Of the Wallace Chapel
M. +. Church.
Elizabeth Ann Wallace was born
near Nicholasville, Ky, January fl,
1887. On November 10, 1857. she was
united in marriage to James Baker,
and TO this union eight children
were born, five. Of whom are still
living. All the children except one
were at home at the time Of their
mothers death. She is survived also
by two sisters and three brothers.
Aunt Bette" as she was known
far and near. was respected by every
one who knew her. Her influence
upon the community and all with
whom she came in contact was al
ways for good. Her place as a true
Christian wife and mother in the
home was summed up in late talk
about her children in which she
said II always tried TO teach them
the best I knew" This is truly veri-
fled. inasmuch as all the children
became converted at an early age in
the little Methodist Church at Wal
laceton. Those now living are de-
voted, and living useful lives for the
Master. The Baker home has always
had a family altar and has been a
place Of true religion.
II is Interesting to note that Mr..
and Mrs. Baker were the pioneers in
education in this community. Their
home was ever open to the found
ers and workers Of Berea College.
All the children attended this in
stitution: four Of them graduating
from il. For twenty. years. with
out a break. the Baker family was
represented by some one or more
Of the children attending Berea Col
lege.
For several months Mrs. Baker
had been in failing health. The
faithful devotion Of Miss Kate to her
aged mother and who will remain
with her father has been noted by
everybody.

FOOD FOR AMERICAN PRISONERS
IN GERMANY

The War Council of the American
Red Cross has appropriated $3i ,2i2
TO buy seventy-flve tons of food for
American Prisoners in Germany.
The food is TO be forwarded TO the
Red Cross warehouse at Berne,
Switzerland. pending its need by
American Prisoners. At present the
number Of American Prisoners In
German prison camps consists only
Of about 100 seamen. Twenty-Five
tons Of food for their relief. enough
TO sustain this number Of men for
three months, have been sent to
Berne up to this time. and this au-
thorized order for seventy-five tons
will insure their sustenance for an
additional nine months, or will suf-
fee for a larger number for shorter
period.
Soldiers and sailors captured by
the Central Powers are not provided
by their captors with sufficient food
TO keep them in good health, nor
with sufficient clothing, so these ne
cessities must be provided from
home, and in view Of this condition.
the American Red Cross, and the
United States Government is pre-
pairing to feed all American soldiers
and sailors who may be taken pris-
oners by Germany during the war.
A complete scheme for sustaining
prisoners is now being worked out
Jointly by the War and Navy De-
partments and the American Red
Cross, which will be the agency
through which the American pris-
oners will be reached.
Under the proposed plan OF feed
ing American prisoners in Germany.
each prisoner is TO receive, in the
course OF every two weeks, three
ten-pound packages, containing pro-
per and sufficient rations TO keep
him in good health for that length
OF time.
Under existing arrangements with
the German Government food and
for American Prisoners are
sent in bulk to a neutral country
and there repacked by agents OF the
American Red Cross in standard
containers.

THE REV. C. 8. KNIGHT

Many Of Mr.. and Mrs. Browns
friends will be glad to know Of their
success in their new field Of work
under the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Lake Forest, I'll. Brother
Knight recently visited them in
this work and we are glad to give
in part letter under date of Octo.
Der 23rd.
knight, these are great days for
us. The work which you helped us
launch a few weeks ago is gaining
every day. In other words the Lake
Forest proposition is a sure go.
We are getting the peoples at
tention and our crowds nearly I'LL
the old mission room. We have peo-
pie come most every day and tell us
they want to join the new church
where they can feel at home. Peo-
pie are getting saved or restored
every week. One fine young woman
was saved from the waves OF Lake
Michigan two weeks ago. She was
intending to commit suicide by
jumping into the lake. She DROP
ped into our mission on Sunday night
and was saved. Now you ought to
hear her testify; and she is leading
others to Christ.
The annual conference placed a
strong o. k. on our work and listed
Lake Forest along with the other
appointments.
The District Superintendent was
with me last Sunday and expressed
his amazement at the rapid growth
of the work. He told the people to
get ready 70" a fine new Methodist
Church as soon as possible. He
gave me authority to select loca-
ton and negotiate for same.
The Chicago Daily Tribune came
out the other morning with quar-
ter page story and pictures Of us
and our work. headed I'm the Vine
yard of Democracy" did not
know anything about il till the
readers called us up congratulating
us on the write-up.
So you can see by the help Of the,
Lord we are in a small way putting
the old gospel and its power to save
on the map here in Lake Forest, and
at the same time laying founda-
ton for substantial Methodist
Church.
Keep praying, Knight. your pray
ers count.

THE SURGICAL DRESSINGS SITUA-
T1ON ABROAD

The surgical dressings situation
abroad has become 90 important that
Major Murphy cabled the following
to Washington Headquarters on
October IA:
"The Red Cross has direct respon-
sibility of supplying us with surgi-
cal dressings, and nothing in the
whole situation here is equally i'm
portant. Red Cross standard Dress
ings in millions must be sent over
with all possible speed.
IF this is not done, and done i'm
mediately, serious calamity and
national disgrace is inevitable. The
American women who compose the
Red Cross chapters workers should
prepare with all enthusiasm and
speed possible the dressings which
are going to mean life or death 10
our own men. This whole situation
deals with the most vital thing that
women of America can do for tho
soldiers in this war"
If this information is given wide
publicity by you, it should certainly.
settle in everyone's mind the ques-
ton whether or not surgical dress
ings are being made throughout the
country in excess OF requirements,
and it should have the good effect OF
stimulating Red Cross work thru
out the United States.
During the summer a great many
people left the cities, and you have
probably noticed that the number
Of workers in your workrooms di-
minished. The effect OF this
urgent need should be to get all Of
these people to again take up this
work in earnest, and do so knowing
that they are doing a real service.
Representatives of the WOman's
Bureau at Washington have just re-
turned from abroad. and they inform
us that it is hard for us TO appreci-
ate the great quantities OF dressings
that are necessary. To best enable
us to visualize this, they have in
formed us that cases are numerous
where an entire box Of dressings Is
used on one patient.
