A Correction.

Last week we gave an account
of the organization of a local
chapter of the Red Cross, part OF
which was incorrect. Ehe name
of the local organization is Nor
gan County Chapter" The or
ganization is permanent instead
of temporary, and the officers are
W. M. Gardner, chairman; Mrs.
H. M. Cox, vice. chairman; Evert
Mathis, secretary; D. R. Keeton,
treasurer. :.
New members are being added
daily, in fact nearly everybody
to whom the object of the Rec
Cross is explained become mem
bers except the extremely mar
row. Some of the little" one'
who are abundantly able have
pointedly refused to contribute.

NOT A TOTAL WIPING OUT
"Annihllated Regiment" Means That
the Organization Of the Unit
Is Broken.

In the dispatches concerning the war
in Europe we sometimes run across
.ne expressions "annihilated" and de
stroyed," with reference to large mill
airy forces, These technical terms,
iays the Philadelphia Record, are like
ly to be misleading to the reader who
is ignorant of things military. One
earns with horror that IAN entire d.
yision was destroyed while attempting
o take Hill c" or that "a regiment OF
cavalry, while accommodating on the
-iank Of the enemy, was annihilated.
Naturally enough, the reader imagines
a terrible scene of slaughter, IN which
all, or practically all, the soldiers are
left dead on the field.
The truth, however, Is quite differ
ent. BY no means was every soldier
killed-the division or regiment was
destroyed or annihilated as an organi.
cation or effective fighting unit.
In time OF war men fight, not as in.
dividuals, but as parts OF a fighting
unit. That unit may be regiment
division or an army corps. In order
to be Of any real use, those organiza'
tons muct be maintained. When the
organization is broken up, the indi
vidual soldiers who compose 1t, no mat
ter how brave they may be person
ally, degenerate into mob; and, as q
mob or mere disorganized collection
OF men, they are unable to make any
defense against attack.

An Announcement.

The TEST Liberty Graded and
High School will open its ninth
annual session on Monday, Aug.
9th, at 8 p. m. There is every
reason to believe that we are fac
ing a most successful years
work. While it is true that sew
eral changes have been made in
our corps of teachers whereby
we have lost some highly efficient
workers, yet their places have
been filled with such talent as we
believe will insure the same high
standard Of achievement as pre-.
vailed last year. Miss. Carrie
Blair will assist in the high school
department; Mr.. Willie Elan will
have charge of the grammar
grades; Mrs. Charles Turner is
to teach the primary grades. and
Mrs. Katherine Daniel is to be
our instructor in music. We
shall also have a new teacher of
expression, but a definite choice
has not yet been made by our
board of trustees, Thus it is
seen that the principal and. the
teacher in the intermediate de-
partment are to be the only SOU
venirs of last years faculty.
The public is kindly requested
not to overlook the fact that the
opening exercises are to be helc
at night, rather than in the fore
noon as has been the custom
heretofore. We do this in ordel
that a greater ! u nber of parents
Landsfriends of the school may
have an opportunity to be presen
than would be the case if W.
should have the exercises in tn,
morning. We are endeavorini
to arrange a program that will
interest and in some degree en-
terrain the audience that we hop
to have. Let all who feel an.
concern for the progress of on
school and the development o
their children make an effort t.
encourage US with their presenc
on this occasion.

Animals We Never Met.

DR.. N. A. Cobb, an authority on
zoology, declares that there must be
hundreds of thousands OF species Of
nematodes. or threadworms, more than
nine.tenths of which are still unknown
@ science. or the parasitic nematodes
lnfesting vertebrate animals alone 1t
is estimated that there are at least
10000 species. Insects, mollusks, crus.
taceans and other animal groups are
also much infested, and as rule
given species Of nematode is peculiar
to a single species OF host. Lastly the
species of nematode living free in soil
and water vastly outpumber the par-
aDitic species. AS these creatures are
enormously prolific, the number of In.
dividuals must be quite beyond con-
ception. Doctor Cobb estimates that
