TO WAGE RED
CROSS CAMPAIGN
Throughout City and County For
New Members to Help in the
Noble Work.

Arrangements are being perfect
ed by local ladies and gentlemen
for a systematic canvass of the city
and county for members of the
Montgomery County Chapter of the
American National Red Cross So
ciety' the dues to which are $1.O0
per year. Every man and woman
in the county should be enrolled as
members. One man, we know of,
took out membership for every mem
Der of his family and his example
should be followed by many others.
There is no cause more worthy
and few the equal of the Red Cross.
1t has as it's aim the alienation of
human pain and suffering upon the
battle field and thousands of gal
liant soldiers, who might otherwise
die from exposure or the loss of
blood, will be thus saved by the APP
plication of timely relief. Surely,
we who sit at home, enjoying the
many comforts with which we are
surrounded, can afford to contribute
this small sum to relieve some I'M
fortunate soldier, who is wounded
while fighting for the cause of hu-
mainly and the perpetuation of lib
erty and free institutions through
out the world.
Men! Women! Join the Mont
gomery County Chapter of the Am
erican National Red Cross Society;
contribute your dollar willingly and
keep the good work going on by get
ting some one else to join. Let us
repeat you could not do a better
thing.

WORK is COMPLIMENTED

In letter to Manager Warren
Hatton of the local Cumberland Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company,
from the main office at Atlanta, Ga
the special agent of the company
compliments the telephone directory
recently issued for them from the
JOB rooms of this office in the fol-
lowing terms: "The book is gotten
up mechanically perfect and equals
the work of any printing Office we
know of and the people of Mt. Ster-
ling should congratulate themselves
on having such a splendid Office,
equipped in this manner" In view
of the fact that the Cumberland
company has thousands of different
directories printed we feel rather
"chesty" over this compliment.

this country. Membership in the
Phi Beta Kappa is given only to
those of the highest scholarship in
the college or university which they

FARM LABOR
Big PROBLEM
In Raising Large Crop in MOntgOm-
cry County. Hundreds Gone
to Factories.

Upon careful investigation, it has
been found that the greatest obsta-
Gle in the way of the farmers of
Montgomery county, in responding
to the call of the President to raise
an extra large crop, especially of
food stuffs, is their inability to get
efficient labor. A canvass of the
situation discloses that over two
hundred of the best laborers of the
city and county have gone in the
past few months, TO the factory
cities of the north, because of the
enormous wages offered them. As
result there is large shortage
locally in labor, which bids fair to
become alarming as the season pro-
crosses. One farmer told us he
had been unable to hire a compe-
tent farm laborer at any price and
was forced to secure the parole of
l prisoner at Frankfort whom he
had known before conviction, to be
good farm hand. The situation,
to say the least of it, seems alarm
ing and one entitled to the serious
consideration of all.
