For RARIES

A new Red Cross activity, which is
likely to appeal to women Of the rural
communities is the making of outfits
for newborn babies in Belgium and
France. A committee Of the Women's
Bureau of the American Red Cross
which went to Europe to investigate
civilian relief needs, made a report in
which the supplying of such outfits
vas strongly urged. Leaflets explain
ing just what is needed in the way of
garments and material may be OBJ
FAMED from the Red Cross chapters.
y. Owing to the rough methods that
'nust be followed in washing clothes in
Due war countries it is essential that
the most durable material be used IN
making garments for these baby out
fits. While the making Of the outfits
will be carried on exclusively in Red
Cross chapter work-rooms the work
is Of a character which permits much
of it to be done in homes; only it is
necessary to follow the simple direc-
tons. The directions, moreover, will
be Of great help to women who desire
practical suggestions for baby outfits
which are intended for home use or
for relief work in this country.

Nature Proves

Little Green Spots Where
Stumps Have Been Dug
Teach Farmers A Valua-
BILE Lesson-Same Medi-
cine Good For The Whole
Field.

Did you ever notice little patches
of deeper green and higher stalks Of
wheat or corn out in the field where
old stumps have been dug? These
little heal by spots have never failed
to show up in such cases, and they
never will-because that ground has
been loosened up TO a depth and the
roots have gone somewhere. Now get
your Jobson and give the rest of the
field the same medicine. There will
be no nor green spots because 1t
will all be green.
This is just one illustration of the
way John B. Jobson developed his
Common Sense System of farming,
in accordance with natures laws, for
bigger profits and constant improve
ment of the land. His remarkable
pillow, which is now being pushed by
some of the leading public men and
dealers in the country, is designed
to make these methods cheap and
practicable for the small farmer as
well as the large planter. It's going
to do a great deal for the food crops
right here in this county

Sober BOYS
Il WELL CARED FOR
Col. lea Tells Parents They Need Not
Fear Lack of Protection for Sons.

That the Tennessee boys comprising
the I14th field artillery regiment now
in thinning at Camp Sewer are ade-
qualify cared for in cases of sickness
and that every precaution is being ia
ken against the contraction of diseases
in the camp, was the assurance Col.
Luke Lea left the people Friday just
before leaving for Fort Sill, Okla,
where he was ordered for a course of
schooling in artillery. Col. Lea said
that while there had been some sick
ness in the camp, the men were under
the care of skilled physicians and
trained nurses and there is no need for
apprehension on the part of parents
| Of the soldiers in the regiment that
the good health of the boys will not be
protected.
Col. Lea made the following state
ment in regard to reports of recent
sickness in the camp.
my attention has just been called
10 the fact that there are many mis-
apprelensions relative to the condition
of the men in Tennessee regiments at
Greenville. While there has been an
| epIemic of measles, complicated in
m v cases by pneumonia, there are
an abundance of skilled physicians
al an adequate force of nurses totake
CAFE of all sickness. The Hath field
artillery, for instance, has six physi-
cidns, headed by Maj, Larkin Smith.
There have been two deaths in my reg
imhnt-one from spinal meningitis and
the other from measles followed by
pne umonia.
FOffieers and enlisted men alike are
deeply grateful to the good women of
Tennessee for the interest they have
taken in them as evidenced by the
sweaters and by the edibles that have
been sent to them. The sweaters have
been given to men who needed them.
The captains ascertain the names of
men who have not been furnished with
sweaters and then these men are given
the sweaters that with kindness and
interest the ladies of Tennessee have
sent to the regimental commander.

PRESSING TOWARD THE MARK.

Years ago, when a pupil in an old
frame school house, | went with a
number of boys one afternoon in win
ter to have some sport. A light snow
had fallen. 1t was too dry for snow
balling and not deep enough for coast
ing. 1t did very we'll to make tracks
III.
1t was proposed that we go to a
tree near the center of the meadow
and that each one should start from
the tree and see who could make the
straightest track-that is to go from
the tree in the nearest APPROACH to a
straight line. We ranged ourselves
around it with our backs toward the
trunk. We were equally distant from
each other. If each had gone forward
in the right line, the paths we made
would have been like the spokes to a
wheel, the tree representing the nave.
We were to go until we reached the
boundaries of the meadow, when we
were to retrace u steps to the tree.
l wish could give a map of our
tracks.
"Whose is the straightest?" asked
James Allison.
Henry Armstrong; is the only one
that is straight at ALL"
That's a fact" said James. "They
look more like snake tracks than
straight lines"
"How could we all make them so
crooked when the ground is smooth and
nothing to turn us out Of the way?"
said Jacob Small.
How did you go so straight, Hen
ry ?" asked Thomas.
Il fixed my eye on that pine tree on
the hill yonder and never looked away
from it till / reached the fence"
81 went as straight as | could, with
out looking at anything but the
ground" said James.
