THE THRIFT CAMPAIGN

Under the direction of the women of
Pensacola, the Thrift Campaign is already
under way, and with the arrival of Col.
III. w. Harrison, of the National War
Savings Committee, OF. Washington, d. G.,
the work is well launched.
Postmaster B. S. Hancock, general
chairman for Escambia county, who en-
listed the support of the women of the
county in this movement, urges that all
members of the various committees who
are in charge of the work, be present at the
meeting which takes place this morning at
ten o'clock at the United States court
room, in the federal building, where the
work was inaugurated last Monday.
The women of Pensacola have become
noted all over the country for their Red
Cross work, the success of which is of
course also largely due to the support
which has been given it by the men. In
all the war relief work which has been
undertaken here, the Red Cross, the Lib
erty Loan, the Y. M. c. A., the amount
raised has been in excess of Pensacola's
proportionate amount.
Other women throughout the country
are engaged in the Thrift Campaign, such
work naturally falling to the women, as it
is especially designed to enlist the children
in the ranks of the workers. 1t has never
ben the spirit of Pensacola to emulate
other cities merely for the sake of emula-
tion.--but as to all other campaigns which
have enlisted their support they have
brought so much enthusiasm and interest
and have obtained such splendid, practical
results, The Journal believes that it is safe
to predict that the Thrift Campaign in
augurated here, the first under the entire
direction of women, will make the same
record for itself that other movements
have in which the women have interested
themselves.

WHAT PIE FOR

there is mime pie there Just isn't any real
Christmas dinner.
And since it takes raince pic to top off

to have mince pie to top off many of the

CONSERVATION AND HEALTH

One of the first responses made to the
call OF the government for food conserva-
ton, was that of the Economic Depart
1nent Of the Woman's Defense League,
which through its various chairmen, did
some very real and constructive work
Lectures were given again and again on
the canning and drying of vegetables, the
putting up of fruit, making of bread, and
which have been part of wonan's work
during the war.
But in addition to this, the women who
form this league secured some land which
had been lying idle and on this acreage
planted vegetables, one of these plots of
land producing some very fine potatoes,
which were shared with needy families of
the city.
1t is not the object here to go into
any analysis of the work which this league
accomplishments was one of the finest
things that has been done along war con-
servation lines, and direct and practical
response to the appeal Of the United States
agricultural department. and needs no
word of commendation
But the possibilities of such work as that
OF the league are unlimited.
People in this section of the country
where there is so much land, have little
conception Of what conservation really
means to people who live in more re-
srricted district. So eager are they to
make the most of the opportunities they
have that IN many cities they have gardens
on top of their houses.-real roof gardens.

FOR THE RED CROSS

Tryon is fOrty-flve miles from BiltOre
village, in the Blue Ridge mountains, and
here under the direction of two young
women, Eleanor p. Vance and Charlotte
l.. Yale, a wood carving shop has been or
ganized, where the mountain children are
not only learning to use their hands, but
are developing many talents and getting a
glimpse into those larger activities of the
world, with which they were entirely I'm
acquainted before the coming of these two
young women into their lives.
In the attic work shop the children learn
the use of carving tools, how to saw and
plane and to trace patterns on wood from
designs prepared for them, for they have
vet to learn the rudiments of drawing and
design.
There is at all times a waiting list for
the capacity of the Tryon shop is limited
to twelve, and those who have visited it
and have seen the work of these moun-
taineer children, know that the individual
training each receives is worth far more
than could be gained in the mere study of
craftsmanship.
In the shop they paint and enamel gay
little toys that are cut from a solid block
OF wood, and the bark and grain of every
Carolina tree is known to the young work.

Some day, when the boys have become
cider in years and gained in skill they will
go out from the shop into the mountain
homes as teachers, and when they do they
will carry other messages with them than

These Toy-makers Of Tyron have boys

belong. The mountaineers have little
money and at great sacrifice these boys
saved their pennies to buy club badge.
But the club badge has not yet been
bought, and perhaps will not be for some
time to come, for these young boys of the
mountains have sent their two dollars and
a half to the Red Cross, instead
To other boys and girls, to whom

these mountain lads have very little money
to spend on anything, and the work that
they do in the toy shop of Tyron has
ness of their lives.
Perhaps no money that has been put
into Red Cross work stands for greater
sacrifice than this. If these boys of the
mountains who have SO little can do so
much, what should we not do, whose lives
are so rich with blessings? In the next
week, when all Christendon1 is striving
to raise money to relieve the necessities of
the world, let each OF us look about us and
see if there is not some real sacrifice that
we can make,

OLD SOLDIERS REUNION

Arrangements Made for Accommoda-

Reunion in Washington Pass
ed for Robson County Commission
ers to Pay Expenses of Veterans
Mr.. A. w. Mclean, who recently
returned from Washington, states
that Captain Fred Beall, commander
of the Confederate Veterans associa-
ton of the District of Columbia, stat
ed to him that arrangements were
being made for comfortable tents
cots and meals on the camp grounds
lying just south of the White House
and that these quarters would be
furnished to all Confederate veterans
who desire to take advantage OF
same, during the reunion, June fourth
1917.
Captain Beall further says that il
is expected Of all Confederate vete
rams to attend the reunion in uniform
and that arrangements have beer
mi ade whereby complete uniform, in
cluding hat, can be purchased TO,

Mr.. Mclean further states that th'
bill authorizing the board Of com
missioners of Robson county to pa.

veterans of Robson county who TO
any reason are unable to pay thei
own expenses, has passed both house
