Women to Register.

Before the women of TishO
mingo are asked to go to the polls
and register it may be we'll to ex
plain the idea. Every woman by
registration signifies her willing.
ness to serve in her best capacity.
She may indicate on her registra-
ton card what duty she feels best
able to perform and if she is in a
position to leave home for the per-
Torrance of that duty and how
long notice she must have. In
other words registration is simply
making an opportunity for patriot
ic women. They are not drafted
like men but merely asked to
serve. The aim of the registra-
ton OF women is tn record in def.
mite form the training capacity
and the willingness for service of
as many women as can be reached
thruout the country. Gov. Bilbo
will set aside turnout Mississippi
a date on which the women of the
state will begin to register for SER
vice. On this date, which shall
be known as Women's Service
Day." all Mississippi women and
girls Cover sixteen years of age)
who desire will register with their
local registration chairman for
such services as they see fit to
render. Women are to register
their services as trained or
unframed. They are to select
from the list printed on the regis
tration cards the occupation in
which they wish to serve or to
receive training. If registering
for service. they must state wheth-
err the service is to be volunteer,
expenses only, or for compensation
The occupations appearing on the
registration cards are: Agricul-
ture, clerical, domestic, industrial.
professional, public service, Red
Cross and allied relief and contri-
buttons, with classifcations. To
defray the expenses incurred for
the printing of the registration
cards, ETC., womans service fund
must be raised. On the date of
the drive, money in any amount
will be received from every one
men. women and children. Also,
each woman registering must
make a contribution TO the fund
in any amount from one cent to a
dollar. The negro women in the
county are given the opportunity
to register also. X

The Iuka school opened Mon-
day morning at nine O'Clock. The
devotional exercises were conduct
ed by Rev l. A MeKeown. Talks
were made by Hon J A 4 Pyle,
Messrs Gaines and Adams who
are members of the school board.
and by Rev. Campbell, Of
Clinton College, Clinton, Miss,
and by Rev Farrar. who is con-
Quoting a series Of meetings at the
Christian Church this week. All
of the talks were helpful and in
teresting.
There was perhaps a larger at
tendance of pupils than was ever
known before in the schools his
tory.
One thing to be regretted was
the small number of patrons pres
ent. How much better work the
children would do if parents
would manifest more interest in
the school and what an encourage
ment it would be to the teachers.
The faculty for the l9l7-1S
term is as follows Prof S F
Howard. Superintendent; Mrs S
F Howard. High School grades;
Miss Copeland, of Henderson,
Tenn, 9TH and 9th grades; Miss
Bailey. of Kosciusko,. Miss. Ssh
and 9th grades; Miss Corrinne
Walker, 3rd and 4th grades; Miss
Lucy Watson, 1st and End grades:
Miss Gladys Elan, music. We
hope the present term will be a
most successful one in every way.

AMERICAN RED CROSS.

Washington, D. C. Aug. II, II.
At the request of William c.
Braisted, Surgeon General Of the
United States Navy, the American
Red Cross has called upon ten Of
the larger Chapters of the society
nearest New York to supply at
the earliest possible movement
surgical dressings for each of the
1873 battleships and destroyers.
Each ship will require thousands of
congresses and bandages. the en-
tire consignment a total of more
than six hundred thousand surg
zeal dressings.
The surgical dressings are to
be prepared by the women work
ers in the Red Cross Chapters at
Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburg,
Washington, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia, New York, Atlanta, Bos-
ton and the Northeastern Division,
these Chapters being chosen be-
cause of their close proximity to
New York will expedite deliv-
cry. 1t is expected to fill the or
der within the next ten days.
Women qualified in the various
chapters to make surgical dress
ings are working night and day
for the rapid completion of the
work.
Only women who have taken
the Red Cross Course in the max
ing Of these bandages are eligible
to engage in the work.
With the declaration Of war
there had been a rapid increase in
the number of women taking the
Red Cross surgical dressing cour-
SeS.
In June Ala certificates were
were issued to women who had
taken the course of three hours
each, in the first ten days Of July
1879 certificates were issued.
Each Chapter will supply the
battleships named after that par
ticular state and others in which
they have a geographical inter
est. Thus the Chicago chapter
will supply the Chicago and the
Illinois. New York will supply
the New York and the Albany.
These boxes will be shipped direct
to the Bush terminal at New York
for distribution to the ships.

The death of John D. Valet re-
moves a figure from the sphere OF
activities at Loreauville, that for
forceful energy, enormous vitality
and constructive ability will be
hard to replace. 81
The cult of diversifcation was
largely adopted by the farmers Of
his neighborhood through his rec
ommendation and practice.
Imbued somewhat with the
spirit Of the Empire builder, many
resources, utilities and assets owe
their present day development to
his convincing personality and
successful experience.
Economic depression, agricul-
tural stagnation, financial and
commercial paralysis meant 70
him only the employment of more
courage, resistance to distress, to
obtain the properly balanced ao-
justment.
The years 1911-1912 and 1913,
remembered only in sombre col
ors of disaster and misery, dis
closed the vitalizing optimism OF
his militant individuality, the en-
ergizing impulse Of a restless, I'M
conquerable manhood. He IN
derstood intimately the duties OF
a high, lofty citizenship. Always
in the van, a leader of progress
sive movements, he blazed away
on futures horizon toward the
betterment and uplift Of neighbor
and community. His work will
long be remembered and com
mended and will be a future en-
enlargement to the Stacker, the
drone, the parasite. No better re
ligion could he have practlced
than the sacrifice Of life's blood
and career offered on the altar OF
his country's good. He worked
diligently, necessarily in the
quarry Of human endeavor. The
specimens Of his skill translated
into communal happiness, and
abiding prosperity, when sub.
mitted to the scrutinizing eye OF
the grand architect Of the UNI
verse, will be accepted and ack-
knowledged as suchsgood and true
work, work that will than can be
embodied, used in that great
Temple in which all humanity
worships, the Temple Of Universal
Brotherhood Of Man.

RED CROSS NOTES.

Ere this reaches the public our
first work will be completed as
planned. We would ask those in
terested and those who are not
(for when they see the work OF
the Red Cross they will become
one of us) to look at what we
have accomplished in the Specially
window, where we have been able
to make a display through the
courtesy Of the proprietor.
To those few women who have
labored with the writer through
the intense heat Of summer, our
special thanks are due, for it was
a supreme test of patriotism to
run a machine without a fan or
any other convenience, usually
accorded workers in the best
equipped factories. Sometimes
we almost faltered, but when we
thought of the men in the trench
es, fighting, and giving all. that
we might enjoy peace at home
and prosperity, the machines
hummed merrily On.
If there was such thing as an
honor roll in the Red Cross, the
names of the workers Of our first
shipment should be placed upon
it.
To the members of the School
Board we wish to offer our thanks:
for they have done all they could
to further the work, letting us
have the use Of their new ma
chimes and the use Of the High
School.
The ladies of Marcel and Lo-
reauviile assisted with the MAX
ing Of the sheets and pillow
slips.
We plan to send another ship
ment about Thanksgiving, for we
must go on with the work, our
Sammies are going on with our
defense, either getting ready al
home or fighting across the seas.
Mrs. Avery is now training a
class in the making bandages, and
the work is progressing in sat-
isfactory manner, we must have
trained workers for this depart
ment, and if you do not wish to
take the course as prescribed by
the Red Cross at least come and
help do the practical work, You
can be Of much assistance in this
line. In another column you will
note a publication from Washing
ton on this subject.

wOMAN'S NATIONAL DE-
FENSE LEAGUE.

By this time a large number
Of the good women Of our town
are regretting not having known
Of the visit Of Mrs. Storm Of Nor
gan City on last Wednesday
evening to tell us about the Wo-
mans Council Of National De-
Tense, why organized and how.
The lecture Of such a gifted wo-
man should have been advertised
generally, so that no one could
make the excuse that they did not
know. But the audience was an
intelligent one that could APP
preciate the treat. Our American
women are generally thoroughly
patriotic, but in their enthusiasm,
there was q great deal Of duplicat-
ing, thereby wasting valuable
force. Therefore fully apprec-
iating the grand power in the
heart throbs of our true woman
hood, our Incompatible Presi-
dent, organized Womans National
Defense, calling for six principle
Secretaries, those Of the Treasury,
Navy, Army, Labor, Interior, and
Agriculture, ! think to form
neucles Of the Council, the gov
ernors Of each state following his
example and the parishes Or
counties also. The first requisite
is to instruct the women regard
ing the necessity for faithful reg.
istration, each one expressing
what they can best do to help our
Nation in this trying time, it may
be only sewing or knitting or it
may be bookkeeping or any one
of q hundred things, all needful.
But remember while the register
ing is compulsory, the work OF
any kind must be voluntary.
Among the audience were many
heroic mothers, whose sons have
gone to the camps. There was not
q complaining one among them,
proud that they had sons who
were considered fit to help our
glorious Nation in its struggle to
make all the world free. The
President has limited the age of
registration from fifteen to fifty
years. Now the opinion Of earn
est women who thought upon the
subject, seemed to be that from
twenty to sixty would have been
better. But old or young we
must all learn to obey our super
ior officers. as good soldiers.
In organizing the Council, Mrs.
dr. Kenward Shaw was chosen
president. No treasurer wds
needed as there are no dues. Then
an elderly lady was elected Sec
rotary. The election was 9 COM
pliment which she did not like to
decline, but remembering the age
limit she could not loyalty accept.

knowing that there were in the
organization a number Of fine
young women who would do ex-
cellent work, and they could be
appointed at the first meeting.
Every woman's organization in
town is expected to have two mem
bers on the council. 1t will be a
wonderful power for good in the
town we hope.
Mrs. Storm recited, your flag
and my flag beautifully. The Elks
Lodge is very comfortable place
for just such occasions. Many
thanks for their courtesy.
