CIRCLE s MINERAL WATER
Is COMING TO THE FRONT

Having lived at Circle : Mineral
wells more than two months and hav-
ing given the water thorough test
we believe we are competent to tes-
tify to their curative properties.
Our health has improved wonder
fully. We now eat well, sleep well
and feel like new people. We firmly
believe there is nothing better for con-
stpation, stomach trouble and general
debility than these waters. No words
at our command are sufficient to ex-
press fully the entire confidence we
have in their efficacy.

NOTICE TO CAR OWNERS

The executive committee of the Cow
boys Roundup Association has de-
cided to admit all cars to the grounds
free of charge. 1t was first thought
that because of the limited room that
an admission of $l.00 should be charg-
ed for each automobile parked near
the Arena. A suitable place has been
arranged for the parking of these cars
and those getting on the grounds first
will get better location for their
cars. We feel that this will be ac.
ceptable news to our citizens and the
visitors.

Another smashing blow ~ the Ger.
mnns In Flanders was given last week
by the British and French. General
Hnig first sent his hard.ilghting Cana
dian troops after the 1cf"nS"S of Lens
and I'm an irresistible charge they
quickly captured lIll 40, the cmincnce
that dominates that ccLtcr of the coat
region and the Loos salient and which
the allied forces had been aiming at
for two years. The men from the Do
minlon pushed on into Lens itself but
us this is written the Germans are still
clinging desperately to the center OF
the city, though every movement OF
the troops there Is covered by the guns
OF the British. As usual, the Germans
at once began a series of counter-at-
tacks on Hill 10. but these were re-
pulsed In every instance by the Cana
dians, with severe losses TO Prince
Ruprecht's forces.
Meanwhile Hais directed another
great attack on II nine-milc front east
and north OF Ypres, with the efficient
cooperation OF the French on their
left. The latter occupied Drclgrnchtcn
and showed their positions forward to
the edge OF the flooded area, ard then
forced the crossing of the Steenbekc
and took German positions To an cN-
treme depth of / 900 yards. The Brit
ish took the village of Langcmarck
and occupied much territory there and
about ST. Julien.

SLAMS and hard fighting by the Roumn'
mans slowed up somewhat the prog

Parties travelling through the country
during these exciting days, when there
is so much in the papers about spys and
emissaries, should carry Identification
cards, as it will save them great deal
of trouble and annoyance. Several par
ties have been arrested in the county
this week. The first was a Bohemian,
who was travelling afoot. He was ex-
amined by Attorneys Allgood and Dent
and released, they not finding anything
suspicious against him except his nation
ality. IT is understood he was arrested
afterwards by the sheriff of Oktibbeha
county and is being held in the Jail at
Starkville until the federal authorities
can pass on his case. The next arrest
was German tramp who was tried be-
fore Justice Cockrell and sent to the
county road for thirty days as vagrant.
The third was man and wife from
Cleveland, Ohio. They were travelling
in a So, 900 car, and what directed sus-
picion to them was the fact that they
Travelled only few miles day. They
camped one night near Deerbrook and
the next at the Keyes place three miles
north of Macon. The man took his de-
tention good-naturedly. After exami-
nation by the county attorney the
couple were released.

A Letter From The President.

In order that the relief work which
Is undoubtedly ahead of us should be
made thoroughly efficient it is most de.
sirable that it should be co-ordjrated
and concentrated under one organiza.
tion.
Recognizing this fact. Congress in
corporated the American Red Cross "to
furnish volunteer aid to the sick and
wounded of armies in time of war and
for said purposes to perform all the du-
ties devolved upon a national society
by each nation which has accepted tn,
Treaty of Geneva. to act in matters OF
voluntary relief and in accord with the
military and naval authorities as me.
dium of communication between the
people Of the United States of America
and their Army and Navy"
Having thus been made the official
volunteer aid organization of the United
States, the American Red Cross comes
under the Treaty Of G1vena and has re.
ceived due recognition from all govern
ments. It's status, both at home and
abroad is thus definitely determined
and assured.
The Surgeons General of the War
and Navy Departments are members
Of the Executive Committee of the
American Red Cross BY Act Of Con
gress medical officers Of both branches
of the service are detailed for service
with it in order that its military relief
may be so organized as best to supple
ment the medical services Of our fight
ing forces.
The Civilian Relief is under trained
and experienced personnel, especially
to care for soldiers families and other
non-combatants The accounts of the
Association are audited by the War De-
partment in order thoroughly to safe
guard the funds contributed by the
public
Recent experience has made it more
clear than ever that a multiplicity Of
relief agencies tends to bring about
cofusion, duplication, delay, and waste.
Moreover, It affords temptations to dis
honest persons to take advantage Of
the general willingness of the public to
subscribe to such agencies to defraud
subscribers and rob the soldier of the
assistance he so much needs.
Wherever, in the present war, sufli
cient volunteer aid has been rendered,
either to soldiers or to non. combatants,
it has been rendered under a we'll
organized central body. Experience is
certainly the most convincing teacher,
and we should learn by those European
examples how to conduct our own re-
lief work with the most thorough eff
cheney and system With its cathohci-
ty and its democracy the Red Cross is
broad enough to embrace all efforts for
the relief Of our soldiers and our sailors,
the care Of their families, and for the
assistance Of any other non-combatants
who may require aid
AS the President Of the American
Red Cross, our branch Of the great in
ternational organization, most earn
estly commend it to your confidence

Attorney Earl Richardson, OF Phila-
delphia, Miss, was arrested in Macon
Wednesday afternoon by Sheriff Nc
Clure on charge of running his auto
without a license tag. The attorney
was en- route to some point north of
here and gave bond in the sum of $iOO
to appear for trial before Mayor Hor-
ton in Macon Thursday. Sheriff Nc
Clure requests the Beacon to again call
attention of the public to the law.
Several parties to whom he has spoken
regarding its violation say it is bad
law and should not be enforced, but the
sheriff says he is not judicial but an
executive officer and until the law is
taken from the statute books, he re-
CARDS it his duty to enforce it. So get
your tags and save trouble.
The tags are issued by the State and
the use of homemade tags is not COM
plying with the law and consequently
prohibited. The sheriff does not get a
zee for distribution of tags and is in no
way compens ated. but is expected to
enforce the law.
