Hawaii's Big Ad

Talk about advertising!
Hawaii's National Guard record that upset all
the figures for the draft quota had first place on
the front page with bold head lines in the news
papers throughout the country on Sunday, July 10
The best advertising is that which gives its
message so clearly that he who runs may read.
There could have been no more definite state
ment that Hawaii has full value behind the goods
And the beauty of it was that Hawaii had no
other thought than desire to do its full duty
BIZ the country.

PRETTY AL FREsco PARTY.

Mrs. F. l.. Bartholomew entertain
ed merry party of the baby contin-
gent Tuesday afternoon in honor of
the fourth anniversary of her little
daughter, Laura Ann.
The pretty birthday table was sta
toned on the porch and was the one
place of supreme interest. The cake,
decorated with dainty flowers with
the pink rose in the center, and burn
ing four little tapers, was most pleas
ing to the little tots, and they gather
ed about it in childish glee
After the cutting of the birthday
cake all repaired to the lawn, where
interesting games were enjoyed. AT
the close of the evening the mother of
the little hostess served delightful
course and dainty bon bons.
Little Miss Laura Ann was the re-
cipient of many beautiful remem
branceS on this suspicious occasion.

COOL HEADED OFFICERS.

The Dispatch wishes to commend
heartily the manner in which the po-
lice of this city handled case on
Sunday night not long ago which prom
Used to terminate seriously The Off
GERS asked no commentator from
any source, so far as the Dispatch
knows. They did their duty in cool
deliberate manner and never so much
as used a club when the use of clubs
and guns seemed the only possible
manner of quelling the disturbance.
A full-blown brand of tiger liquor
had gotten in it's effect so completely
that reason was gone. The atmosphere
was blue with rage and oaths and a
struggle that seemed battle for life
was staged. For some ten or fifteen
minutes there was a real, determined
conflict, the officers on the one side
and two resolute men on the other
To the spectators the affair appear
ed to have reached a stage where
somebody's life might have to be sac
rificed But the officers worked quietly
and in cool manner They quelled a
disturbance whose intensity was even
greater than those which ON former
occasions have cost the lives of men,
and the police did not so much az
even use club. They had a fight on
their hands, it is true, but they proved
masters of the occasion and did not
even injure any one.
An officers cool head has saved
many an occasion. 1t certainly must
have meant something this time.
There may never be another occasion
just like this one, but the men who
put their own lives in such impend-
ing peril must certainly appreciate the
consideration shown them and the
community must have cause to feel
happy that the police could exercise
sober discretion with such good re-
suits.

THE RED CROSS WORK.

Crisp county is this week trying to
do its part towards raising the hun
dred million dollars President Wilson
has asked for the Red Cross. Crisp
and Wilcox together are trying to
raise $4,000. That amount has been
apportioned to us and we should be
LOYAL enough to do our part quickly
and with that degree of enthusiasm
which will show to the rest of the
world we know the meaning of the
work of the Red Cross.
This movement carries with it the
plan to minister to the wounded at
the front No one of us can care for
the sick or the wounded on the bat
tie front no matter how much we
may desire to do so unless we are
attached in some way to the army We
may have boy there. We may have a
brother there. Certainly 'our boys"
are to be there, but ministering to
their wants when they are wounded
or sick cannot be done except through
the Red Cross. Then let us donate
now. The fund will go through govern.
ment channels to the right service
There will be an American boy who,
in spite of the daring and bravery,
will suffer disaster,--will need the
ministering hand of the nurse. He will
fall somewhere, maybe, in No Mans
land where only the Red Cross can
come to his relief and stop the flow of
blood and bring him back again to
health. The army, the navy, the avia-
ton corps all will need this humani.
