STATE AND COUNTY
PRIMARIES IN MAY

Many seem to be misinformed as to
the time for holding the state and
county primary elections. Many have
forgotten the enactment under the mi
adopted last November, which pro-
vides that the primary elections % all
political parties shall be held on the
last Tuesday in May preceding the
general election. AS the next gen.
eral election will be held in Novem-
Der 1918, the next primaries for the
state and county officials will not
take place until the last Tuesday in
May 1918.

CRAWFORD HELD
TO GRAND JURY
Former Superintendent |. O. O. F.
Home Given Preliminary Hear
ing and is Released on Bond

Batesville, July 31.-After being
held to the Grand Jury without bond
by Justice j. A. Holmes yesterday
on charges made against him by two
young girl inmates of the Odd Eel
lows Home, W. D. Crawford, former
superintendent of the Institution,
through his attorneys brought ha-
beas corpus proceedings to have the
testimony reviewed by Circuit Judge
Dene H. Coleman, who ruled that
the evidence was not such as to hold
him without bail, and ordered his re-
lease on $4,000 bond for appearance
at the next session of court.
Zelpha Cooper, who gave her age as
II years, testified that Crawford had
made improper proposals to her. Drs.
j. w. Case and M. S. Craig testified
that they had been called to the home
to make an examination of the girls
and found them in a condition not ex-
actly normal for their age He said,
however, that such conditions could
have been brought about through 9TH
er causes.
Crawford did not offer any defense
His attorneys contended that the
evidence did not warrant his being
held, and declared that it was a case
that permitted the granting of bond.
He left today for his home at Cisco,
where he expects to remain until
court convenes here.

supremely practical. The future wei.
fare Of these warning peoples depends
on our giving prompt aid to these chill
dren and their mothers We must do
it amply, and we must do it right.
81 suppose | feel this phase Of the
need more keenly because of the many
friends l have scattered through Eu-
rope. They are constantly writing me
graphic letters describing the needs Of
those people and begging us to do
something for them
I happened to know something Of the
effect of these letters judiciously pass
ed around by Mrs Draper among her
many wealthy friends in this country.
Through these indirect appeals Mrs,
Draper has been able to turn over to
Red Cross headquarters many large
gifts of money and countless supplies.
For instance, group of five Of her
Brooklyn friends have given her the
privilege Of spending $4,000 year
for this work, besides hundreds of
thousands Of dozens Of pairs of the
best socks that can be purchased.
Here's letter from friend in
Servia, the little country we're so like
ly to overlook in our earnestneSs about
France and Belgium" she went on.
Their army has no reserves. Last
fall at MOnastir the same men fought
for one hundred consecutive days with
out relief. They were most meagerly
clothed and fed, and, hardest Of all,
not one Of them knew whether his wife
and children were alive or, if living,
where they were. Thousands upon
thousands of peasant women and chill
dren in Servia have no source Of food
and clothing but the army and the Red
Cross.
Thousands Of these sufferers live
right in the war zone, many Of them
actually in the zone Of fire. The army
has done its best to help them, but
the army has only bread and meat to
give, and little Of that. The indi-
viduals and scattering relief agencies
that are seeking to help are almost
hopelessly handicapped by lack of ma
terials, workers or transportation. One
of the most useful things we can do
is to send automobiles to the Red Cross
workers in Servia."
The following extract from this let
ter summarized the needs:
The big cry is for the women and chill
dren. Most of the children are little girls,
SO that means plain, simple, warm gar
ments which can be worn by peasants who
have been used to wearing heavy home
spuns. The foods required are beans, tea,
fats, sugar, cocoa and condensed milk.
Sweetened condensed milk is not desirable.
The best timed milk used on any of the
fronts is Just the straight timed milk
without either condensation or sweetening.
It ought to be possible to send plenty of
raisins and prunes from the United States
Those Servian women ard children have
no fruit item in their diet. and they
need it.
At the same time the letter told of
some sadly misguided efforts of private
individuals, such as sending pink silk :
lingerie to Macedonian peasant women
One box opened for distribution there
contained five suits of mems full even
ing dress and three sets of false teeth.

WILSON AT THE RIGHT.
Taft, chairman, and Eliot Wadsworth
vice chairman Of the executive commit
tee, ex officio members.
In appointing the War Council the
president earnestly eXhorted the Amer
lean public to support it's work, issu
ing the following statement:
! have today created within the Red
Cross war council, to which will be
intrusted the duty of responding to the
extraordinary demands which the pres
ent war will make upon the services of
the Red Cross both in the field and in
civilian relief. The best way in which
to impart the greatest efficiency and
energy to the relief work which this
war will entail will be to concentrate
it in the hands of single experienced
organization which has been recognized
by law and by international convention
as the public nstrumentality for such
purposes. Indeed, such coneentratica
of administrative action in this matter
seems to me absolutely necessary, and
! hereby earnestly call upon all those
who can contribute either great sums
or small TO the alienation of the suf-
fering and distress which must inevita-
bly, arise out of this fight for humanity
and democracy to contribute to the Red
Cross. 1t will be one of the first and
most necessary tasks of the new war
council of the Red Cross to raise great
sums of money for the support of the
work to be done and done upon a large
scale. hope that the response to their
efforts will be demonstration of the
generosity of America and the power of
genuine practical sympathy among our
people that will command the adn1ira-
ton of the whole world.

Mr.. Dawson pledged the backing of
Morgan & Co. to the undertaking and
announced that he himself had tempo
