ARTICLES NEEDED BY
OUR BOYS IN NAVY.

AS some of the women organiza
lions in Cordele are planning to make
articles for the boys in the navy, we
publish short list of some of the
things needed.
The men of the United States navy
could use certain articles of comfort
which are not supplied by the govern
ment These are principally knitted
articles to keep them warm during
severe weather and when engaged in
exposed work in small boats, such as
picket duty, mine laying, submarine
service, patrol boat service, ETC., says
the Mobile Register.
In time of war, the value of these
articles is greatly accentuated Peace

SHALL WE ANSWER
DUTY'S CALL.

The country is calling upon every
woman at this hour for service. Every
day ringing appeals come out from
Washington to the women to do their
part in the great work of preparing
to tighten the suffering of American
soldiers on the battle front in Europe
Some have brothers or sons in the ar.
my. Some have no one kin who has
enlisted. But all have tender gener-
GUS hearts. If we saw man bleeding
in the street we would run as fast as
we could to get help for him. We may
never see our soldier boys groaning
in their agony on the battle field, but
they will be there.
.SEY Dung men we have known in our
own country are in France right now
Others are going as fast as they can
be made ready. The thing has come,
the hideous black shadow of war that
has seemed but a hideous blight on the
people across the water has reached
out his cruel devastating hand and
swept our own people into the awful
gloom
We cannot stay this gaunt, grasp
ing hand, but we can do something
for our boys, our Georgia boys per-
haps, who are to come within the
greedy grasp. We can send bandages
for broken limbs, ointment for poor
scorched faces, instruments to sew
up gashes, knitted articles for COM
fort, doctors, nurses, first-aid men and
various surgical supplies This assis-
lance must come through the Red
Cross.
Every woman in Cordele is urged
to join the Red Cross that auxiliaries
may be formed all over town for prac-
tical work The women in the auxiI-
iaries make bandages, pillow cases,
sheets shirts, pajamas, surgical sup
plies, and many other things badly
needed right now by our soldiers. Let
every woman go out to the court
house Monday evening to hear DR.
Hendrix from Atlanta speak on the
Red Cross work and find out the duty
and responsibility resting upon us
upon the women.
