There is little more than month left of

pit in this land should thunder that message,
choose, therefore, life, that thou and thy

1t should echo from every little school
house and be heard in every lodge room in
America. Every man who has influence
with another man should put the situation
squarely up to him. 1t should meet men and
women at every turn. Men should strive for
action, knowing that they arc working for
God and their country.
Action now that will bring a record food

less amply supplied with food and NUM-
tons. If they do not win, the United States
remains the sole obstacle between victor
ious autocracy and world dominion.
That is the situation the president
sees and the ENJOYS from France and
Britain are emphasizing. The German
U-boat blockade is very serious mat
ter. Unless England can gather from
the ends of the earth, food, munitions,
equipment, steel and coal to distribute
to France, Italy and Russia, the allies
cannot sustain the fight. If England,
thru starvation, is forced to peace, the
backbone of the battle against autoc-
racy is broken. Then America will
have to face the beast alone.

MANY new. MEMBERS
FOR The RED CROSS
LOCAL ASSOCIATION APPEAL S
TO EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND
CHILD IN THE COUNTY.

To further plan the local work of
the Terrell County Red Cross Asso-
citation, a meeting was held in the
court house Friday evening, and re-
ports showed activities along the diff
ferent lines, notably an increase in
the membership, and much enthusi-
asm in the work. Talks were made
by several and the three ministers
present promised patriotic sermons
on Red Cross work in their respective
churches. The executive board was
granted authority to increase their
committee as they saw fit, and quite
strong committee will result. The
work has been somewhat delayed on
account of some mistakes from head
quarters, but that being remedied,
the executive board expects to COM
plete the various committees and be-
gin the work with much force in a
few days. The enrolment and mem
bership committee will begin at once
to canvass the county and organize
auxiliaries in the several towns or
enroll the citizens here according as
they may prefer. Parrot and Bron-
wood have already gone to work and
had meetings with much enthusiasm.
The various committees will be an
nounced as soon as completed. 1t is
very gratifying to the organization
that the people are rallying to their
support, but who could refuse when
our young manhood responded so no.
bly, to the call of their country on
the 5th of June?
Especially does the work of the
Red Cross appeal to the womanhood
of the country, as it is for the ale
Walton of the suffering of their sons
and brothers, when they are wound
ed on the far off battlefield, and who
knows but that the Terrell County
Association may be the means
of the Red Cross may be the means
of saving the lives of those so dear
to US? To many of US it may be hard
to realize that our very own will soon
be on foreign soil fighting for our
liberty, but every day brings it more
forcibly to US, and when the casual
ty list is sent broad cast over the
country, the ones who have done this
work will feel the consciousness of
having done their bit before it was
too late to help those who were suf-
fering and looking to them to supply
their needs.
The Red Cross association of Ter
rell county appeals to every man,
woman and child to rally to the or
ganization, and put forth every eff
fort to do the great work assigned
them. 1t will be true that not every
one can go out to canvass or give
their time, but there are SO many
ways to work for the success of the
Red Cross, that all have part to
perform, and remember that it takes
all the parts to make the whole.
Remember, also that it is as truly
a call from our country as the call
to arms of our young men. God for
bid that it should be said of any
woman that she is a Stacker. But we
think we know the women of Ameri-
ca too well to fear that. When we
recall the heroism of our mothers
in the sixties, how they braved all
dangers, overcome all obstacles and
endured all hardships to help the
great cause for which our fathers
fought, we feel that the blood is still
red in veins of their daughters, and
when the call comes they will not be
found wanting.
