Attention, Doctors.

The recent meeting of the
State Medical Association adopt
ed a resolution pledging its MEM
bers to the following plan in
handling the practice of those
physicians who are called to the
Colors.
The Association request that
you keep a separate record OF
your charges for the patients of
your colleagues who have left
home to join the Army or Navy.
When you collect for this service
you are expected to turn over
one-third of the fee to the alb
sent doctor or to his family, one
third is to be turned over to the
American Red Cross Association,
and you are to retain one-third.
The Association is certain that
every fair minded Doctor will
readily agree to this plan when
he realizes the enormous sacri-
flee that his colleague is often
making in answering the patri-
otic call. Of course all physi-
clans cannot answer this call.
However all physicians can help
in every..way possible to make
the part of those who do answer
easier. 1t goes without saying
that in so far as possible the
practice of the physician who
has been .in the service. of his
country will be turned back to
him on his return.
The American Red Cross AS
sociation is now busily engaged
in organizing local chapters of
the American Red Cross in all
sections of our state. No doubt
within six months every physi-
clan in the state will have be-
come identified with some chap
ter. The one-third fee which is
to be turned over to the Red
Cross will be turned oyer through
your local chapter, if you have
one. If not, it should be for
warded to Mr.. w. J. Leppert,
Director of Gulf Division, Amer
ican Red Cross, New Orleans, La.
The State Committee on Med
ical Preparedness expects each
Auxiliary County Committee to
cooperate to the fullest extent
in getting this information to
every doctor in their respective
districts.

years, was placed in the Rankin

with foully numbering two men
in Pearl river swamp.

day. The man who did the kill
ing buried Coker in the woods,
dragging his body up a steep
bluff and weighted Nixon with
pieces of iron and bricks and
sank his lifeless body in the riv-
er; doubtless hoping that in time
they would be forgotten by their
kin, the bones of one would re-
turn to earth from whence they
came and the other on the bot

longer sufficed to hold Nixon at
the bottom, his body floated to
the service, drifted to the Ran
kin county side and was found.
In a few minutes officers were
busy and a thorough investiga-
ton made.
Coker's body being found on
this side of the river, Rankin au-
thorities took charge, the inquest
being held by Justice Fisher, of
Pearson. While this was in
progress, the Kinds county Of
fcers were holding another in
quest over the body Of the other
victim across the river.
The Rankin county jury found
verdict to the effect that Coker
came to his death at the hands
of Rhineheiner, while the Kinds
county jury did not place the re-
sponsibility of Nixon's death on
any one.
Both men were shot, and
empty shells found where this
killings occurred, were of the
same make and size as the one
found in Rhineheimer's gun.
