Buy Bonds and Ring the Bell.

To the Editor of The Star:
Friends in need are truly friends in
deed, and no citizen of this country
ever had better opportunity to show
patriotism than at the present time bv
| buying liberty bonds. Let none of US
be like the foolish virgins, But let
all of US keep our lamps trimmed and
burning, for We know not what hour
the cry, Behold. the enemy is ,coming"
will be heard. Then. if buying liberty
bonds will in the least way be of as
sistance in bringing about victory to
the American arms. all of US should
be willing to give part of our time
and means, even at a great sacrifice
to aid the government. On the 4th
of July, 1916, when the great bell in
independence Hall. at Philadelphia,
rang out, Free. Free and all of the
bells of the various factories and
churches caught up the sound and
echoed the voice, Free. Free"-that
was indeed a great day. Today Eng
land and America have clasped hands
in this great world war. Buy a lib
erty bond. for at war with
one of the most powerful and ruthless
modern civilization. The old Liberty
bell at Philadelphia must ring again.
But whether the sound of the old bell
will tell us of the triumph or of the
defeat of our soldier boys in this
great war God only knows. But let
US work and pray to the end that we
may be victorious in lowering the Ger
boys may bring back a true report
that Old Glory has never trailed the
dust in any of the foreign fields of
battles. JOSEPH c. CUNNINGHAM.

MEXICAN COMMISSION COMING.
Seeks to Arrange Exchange for Re.
moyal of Bullion Ban.

A special commission appointed by
President Carranza is now on Its way
from Mexico City to Washington to
endeavor to arrange with the author
tiles here for a supply of corn and
American gold in return for removal
Of the restrictions made by the Mexi-
can government upon the expectation
of silver and gold bullion.
An arrangement has been made be-
tween the Mexican ambassador here
and the State Department for such an
exchange. but this was found to be
unsatisfactory by the Mexican foreign
office because 1t contained provision
that the food which might be sent from
America into Mexico should not be ex-
ported from that country nor should
an equivalent amount Of other sup
plies be permitted to go out of that
country.

BUY BONDS WITH MONEY
TO BE SAVED ON DRINKS
"Good Fellows" Make Use of Amount
They Cannot Spend After
November /.

Four or five young business men, all
good fellows" have made a practice
of meeting in an uptown cafe each
evening for a social hour before going
home to dinner. They are not "booz-
ers," you will understand. but they had
come to look upon round of drinks as
necessary to the sociability of the hour
And since the new war tax went into
effect each drink costs at least 20 cents
more often a quarter.
They met as usual last evening.
We'll, boys what'H you have?' re-
marked one of the group. IT'S getting
close to November l. Old John Barley
corn has only few days left, and you d
better ticker up"
Say. what're we going to do with all
the money we save when We can't buy
booze any more?" inquired one man, as
he poured his out and waited for the
barkeep to officiate with the syphon
why not buy liberty bonds?" sug-
gested a third.
The suggestion made a hit. They be-
gan to figure, and the figuring showed
that each member of the party, on the
most conservative basis. spent rs cents
day for liquor. Twenty-six times rs
cents amounted to $3.50 a month. They
decided to call it $40 even, t6 allow for
the times when cocktails were called
for, at a quarter a piece.
Twenty dollars month would carry
5000 of liberty bonds. Each good fell
low" to celebrate Liberty day, went to
the nearest bank and subscribed to that
amount in addition to his previous sub
scriptionS. There were five in the party
last eveninG-S1,0 900 more to help win
the war for democracy.
Gee whiz." one of them remarked as
they went through the revolving doors
'1f every fellow in Washington would
take what he is going to save after
November ! and buy liberty bonds, the
National Capital would make other cit
les look like thirty cents"

this came to be used. She comes of
prominent Philadelphia family. Dur
ing the summer group of her friends
at Fort Niagara were disgusted at the
fact that some Of the people they knew
in Philadelphia were not showing the
proper spirit of patriotism about the
war-in fact. they had reason to be-
lieve that number of their friends
actually were going to some extremes
to avoid service to their couNcry. They
decided that these people should be
shown up" in some way. At first
they thought they might ostracize
them. Finally 1t was agreed that to
inspire the public appreciation of a
good example in military service
would be the best course.

PEACE.

Union veterans honored the mem
cry of Jefferson Davis at Noble the
other day In the democratic conven-
ton at Charleston in 1860 Beast
Butler of Massachusetts, cast vote
for Davis for the presidential nomi-
nation. He said he thought Davis was
the one man who could make the har-
mony president the country then need
cd so badly At the same convention
Butler, at the end of William l.. Yam
cey's perOration, entranced by the or
ator's eloquence, said within the hear
ing of those near him that he, for one
was ready at any time to join, troop
to enforce the mandate of any CYAN
cey convention" After the war started
Butler changed his mind. In recon
structon he made himself more OBJ
noXious to the people of the South
than any other Union soldier.
But if Butler were living in these
days of reunion and good will, no
doubt he would revert to type" so
to speak, long enough to pay his trib-
ute to Confederate leaders, once his
foes.-Exchange.

CORDELE WOMEN URGED TO
JOIN RED CROSS.

AS William Howard Taft has said,
"The Red Cross is the only recognized
agency through which we may help
TO take care of the wounded of the
army and the nations that are fight
ing our battles. Every country has
Red Cross and every country must
have it, because it is impossible for
any army to furnish the instrument
talities adequate to meet the proper
ton of wounded that this war fur
nishes."
The. constructive part of the Red
Cross work is in the hands of the wo-
men. We are all bound by the war.
1t devolves upon the women of our
country to make the surgical supplies
cur country so badly needs and it is
going to take the constant work of
every woman in the United States. 1t
is estimated that if every womarf- will
make one item,4the desired result will
be accomplished. The call of the hour
is to give and to give unstintingly, not
because our fathers or brothers or
sons are at the front, but because
American citizens, men, human beings
are in the army who demand it. There
are no towards at the front and the
person who remains at home and does
his full duty is hero. The women of
the country are urged everywhere to
band themselves together and turn
out surgical supplies as fast as pos
sible. A message from Washington
states that though this work is being
pushed in every section of the county
we are not now prepared to take care
of the wounded of one single battle.
Our country needs us and needs us
badly. We are not allowed to form an
auxiliary for any of this work with
out becoming members of the Red
Cross.
Being a member of the Red Cross
does not mean that you will have to
20 to the front. Only qualified nurses
are called and they can say where
they wish to serve. The membership
dues of Red Cross are $1O0 per year.
See DR.. Edwards, chairman of the or
ganizing committee or DR. Kendall,
secretary and enroll for Red Cross
service now.

who has spent a good deal OF her
time in Cordele with her sister, Mrs.
Will Mckenzie and who is so pleas
antly remembered here has sailed for
France in company with several other
Red Cross nurses as member OF the

telling of the beautiful entertainment
and courtesies extended the Johns
Hopkins Red Cross unit, and OF the
enthusiastic patriotism pervading all
New York, with its thousands of beau
tiful flags, bunting and thrilling mu-
sic A description of the Red Cross
nurses outfit is interesting, which
Miss Herrin states is quite military"
in appearance, consisting of beau
tiful blue suit, nobby blue hat with
tan boots and gloves. The good wishes
of our town attend this noble young
woman as she goes forth in the name
of Liberty" possibly to be an Angel
of Mercy to some of our own boys
somewhere in France.
