A TRIBUTE.

Cordele Dispatch,

Editor Cordele Dispatch,
Cordele, Georgia.
Dear Sir:
knowing of the high regard
which the people Of Cordele felt
for Miss Helen G.. Brewer, it
occurs to me that you may be
glad to know of the equally high
esteem in which she was held
in Savannah During the few
months in which she was with
us she won the respect and af-
lection of all whom she met, and
all of us who were associated
with her in the library feel most
keenly the loss of such friend.
In her death the library has sus-
tanned a very severe loss, and
it will not be possible for us
to SECURE any one who can bring
to her position the full meas
ure of ability and enthusiasm
and the personal qualifications
which made Miss Brewer so sue
cessful in her work and so high
ly regarded by everyone.
Very truly yours,
C. SEYMOUR THOMPSON,
Librarian.

Germany continues to show understanding
of the Importance of the work to be per-
formed in Russia by the American commission
by her attempts to dscredit the commission s

latest move in this attempt and one for which
German agents in Russia are believed to be
responsible, is the circulation of report that
Mr. Root, while secretary of state, refused to
let Russian refugees enter this country, and
that he surrendered to the Russian govern

Mr. Root merely followed the American custom

Mr. Root was calculated to do much harm, but

best known families. The wedding

Following the ceremony the guests
were served with wedding dinner,
after which Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
left for Chicago TOR a short honey
moon trip.
While Mrs Martins former home
was in Burnside, until about year
ago, yet Carthage has always had
some claim upon her. inasmuch as
she was student of Carthage col
lege, and spent great deal Of her
time in our city.
Mr. Martin is graduate OF our
high school, and also graduate from,
the law department Of Ann Arbor,
Mich, about one year ago having
entered into a partnership with the
firm of Hartzell. Cavanaugh, Green
and Martin, with offices located at
Quincy, Carthage and Warsaw, Mr..
Martin being in charge of the Warsaw
Office.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin will make
their home with the brides parents
until fall, when plans for their future
home will have been completely form
ulated

gratulations to this worthy young
couple, and wishing for them many
years of happy companionship.

THE RED CROSS IN THE WAR.

| OF the many practical suggestions offered
! none is of greater immediate Importance than
that coming from Henry P. Dawson, of j.
Up. Morgan & Co. Mr.. Dawson is one who has
volunteered his services on the war council OF
the American Red Cross. He says that the
way to hearten and encourage Russia is for the
American organization to extend 70 her with
out delay a helping hand. request made re-
Gently to the council by a representative OF Ru-
mania was for anything, everything" to re-
| lieve the stricken people, and Mr.. Dawson con-
tends that this confirms an official request to
send at once one hundred doctors and the
necessary medical supplies to Rumania to check
an epidemic. Pointing out that can reach
Rumania effectively only through Russia, and
asking whether we can send aid through
/ stricken Russia to stricken Rumania with none
for Russia, he continues so it is all along the
/ line in the Balkans and in other small cOun-
+ tries. Are they to know by personal contact
| and by succor that we are In this war and that
we recognize that they are fighting our battles,
or are they merely to receive information to
that effect through the press7"
Mr. Dawson sees, what some in this country
have failed to recognize, that the American Red
Cross must be made powerful factor In prov
ing to these peoples that not only have we APP
praised at its true value their tremendous sac
Erifce but that now we are In the war to help
them and ourselves by the employment of all
our resources to win.
The American Red Cross is preparing for
service of the highest type It's management is
efficient. It is developing plans involving the
selection of the best talent in this country in
medicine, sanitation, transportation, construc-
ton, welfare work and in other lines A great
sum of money will be needed to make these
plans effective, and it must be subscribed.
There will be use for every dollar of the hun
ored million asked for. No one should under
estimate the Importance of the part the Ameri-
can Red Cross will play in the winning Of the
war and in relieving the distress coming to
many peoples in that winning.

THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE.

The president will do well to put in operation
Immediately the export control act According
to reports which have reached Washington,
European neutrals are making large purchases
in the American wheat market and it is I'M
portant that none of the grain for which they
are said to have made contracts be permitted to
leave the country unless they can show that it
is needed by their own people. There is no
doubt that much foodstuffs brought here has
reached Germany. This has been shown by
the rapid increase in the import trade OF some
of the neutras. Now the European countries
which have kept out Of the war should be COM
PEELED to wait. This country must look out for
its own interests and those of its allies, and
one of its first duties is the protection OF Its
food supply.

THE DUEL
The gingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat:
Twas half-past twelve, and (what do you think!)
Nor one nor t'other had slept wink!
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate
Appeared to know as fate
There going to be terrible spat.

What was told to me by the Chinese plateD
The Bingham dog went "bow-wow-wow"
And the calico cat replied "mee-ow!"

With bits Of Bingham and Calico
While the old Dutch clock in the chimneyplace
Up with its hands before its face,
For it always dreaded a family row!
(Now mind; I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is true!)
The Chinese plate looked very blue.
And walled. "Oh, dear! what shall we dol"
But the bingham dog and the calico cat
Wallowed this way and tumbled that,
Employing every tooth and claw
In the awfullest way you ever saw
And, oh how the Bingham and calico flew!
Don't fancy exaggerate!
got my views from the Chinese pateO
Next morning where the two had sat
They found trace OF the dog cat;
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole the pair away!
But the truth about the and the pup
Is this: They ate each other up!
Now what do you really think OF that!

And that is how l came to know

IOWA PRESS COMMENT

Cedar Rapids Republican: In Cali
formia conference of farmers voted
in favor of the prohibition of grains
for making alcoholic liquors. This
has caused some wonderment in the
east But is it not possible that the
farmers of California grow more
grapes and peaches and other fruits
than they do grains-grains are grown
in that state in only limited sections.
Perhaps, those farmers are like the
rest of US, selfish primarily, and by
preventing the manufacture of grain
alcohols there may be an increased de-
mand for the grape wines and peach
brandies. California can supply a
large part of the world with alcohol
without using bushel of grain-andI
only rye and corn and barley are much
used for grain alcohols. Wheat and
oats are immune.

It has been held that the Congressional Rec
ord is so much waste paper SO far as its value to
the general public is concerned. But the publ
cation might have its value if it were received
and read by every person of voting age in this
country. The Gate City suggests that senator's
and congressman see that the Record is re-
ceived by their constituents for at least the
period of one month. 1t will then be an educa-
ton to the "dear peepul'' in the matter of
what the national Legislators doing for the
country in these strenuous times The ex-
haust of hot air coming from the lungs of our
senators and representatives in congress viii,
when the contents of the Record is digested by

the ordinary country debating society is an in

performance at Washington. To read the

regret the timber of our Legislative controllers.
