All Relatives Warned to Beware OF
Cantonment Towns in United States.


st. Louis. Aug. IA campaign of
education to warn relatives of SOL

ing of Red Cross workers held in st.
Louis Monday. Red Cross workers

tor the southwestern division of the
Red Cross, presided.
Stories of how young women fol-
lowed their husbands to military
camps and as a result suffered many
hardships were told by the workers.
Many of these youn- women were
left stranded and destitute when the
soldiers were ordered to coast towns
to embark for France. These soldiers
were without funds and could do
! nothing for their wives. The Red
Cross cared for many of these penni-
less women and sent them to their
homes at great expense.
In some cases the young wives met
with sad experiences which exposed
| them to all the dangers of a young wo-
| man in a strange city.
Many workers said soldiers were too
tinid to write relatives warning them
to remain away from the camp be-
cause they feared they would create
| the impression that they no longer

The workers at the meeting said
they very seldom came in contact with

DOING her BEST
Carroll County IS No Stacker 10
Meeting War Demands

Carroll county is doing her part
patrioticalIy and thoroughly IN
meeting every war demand placed
upon her by the government. Car
roll CONTAINS are proving them
selves one hundred per cent loyal
Americans. If we have any slack
ers they must feel mighty lone
some.
About 225 young white men
have responded to the call Of the
government under the draft and
are now either in France or in
camp training for service at the
front. Seventy-nine colored boys
have answered the call and are in
training There have been in the
neighborhood of so volunteers
from the county. This makes a
total of about $50 young men who
have gone out from Carroll county
to do service for Uncle Sam.
In the third Liberty bond drive
the county's quota was fixed at
Sill, 700, and the total subscrip.
ton was $4,000. Prior to this
issue $4,000 in bonds had been
taken, making a total of $685.
700 subscribed by the county.
In the Y.M.C.A. drive last fall.
the county's quota was $500, and
she went over the top with $500.
In the first Red Cross campaign
the county gave between 5000
and $4,000. In the second cam
paign, which is now closing, the
subscription is around $4,000. In
the local Red Cross work the do
nations have reached $4,000 This
makes grand total Of 500. 900 the
county has subscribed to the Red
Cross war work.
In the sale of war savings ard |
md thrift stamps the county has
about $4,000.
This appears to US as a very
Inc showing, and one that reflects
credit upon the county's loyalty. /
The county stands ready to meet
very reasonable demand placed
lpon it.

SIXTY LEAVE FOR CAMP
Fine Body Of Young Men En-
train for Camp Pike

Monday and Tuesday we're lively
DAYS ID Huntingdon. One hun
dred and fifty young men had been
called to be here Monday and with
them came a large number Of their
parents and friends.
From this number The exemp-
ton board selected seventy, who
were ordered back Tuesday. From
these seventy young men we're to
be taken the sixty who were to
leave Huntingdon Tuesday even
ing for the training camp.
Tuesday brought another large
crowd of the friends of the regis
trants, who came to spend the day
with those who we're to go. The
crowd, with few exceptions, was
cheerful, and the day was spent
pleasantly waiting for the time to
come for the boys to entrain.
No finer body of young men
ever left Huntingdon. They were
truly red-blooded young Ameri-
cans They left in good cheer
A large crowd accompanied them
to the depot, and extended tender
farewells to loved ones and friends.
The boys left with the assurance
that the people Of Huntingdon and
Carroll county we're behind them.
They entrained with words of
cheer and encouragement ringing
10 their ears, and they, no doubt,
felt that they are honored just as
highly as the men who already
wear the khaki.
The good ladies of our town did
not forget the comfort bags and
lunches for the boys. They left
on the 5 o'clock train for Camp
Pike, Ark.

COTTON ACREAGE
Slight Increase Shown Over Last
Year

A cotton acreage of 1918 pei
cent as compared with last year is
indicated by reports sent in By
Commercial Appeal correspond,
ents. A condition of $40 pei
cent compared with normal is in.
dictated.
Government figures last year tc
May IS showed condition Of &c. 5.
The 10-year average is 1911.
The acreage increase means "a
$4,000 acres devoted to the 1918
10 crop, against 81, 086, 900 in 1917,
excluding, in both instances, Vir-
ginia, Missouri, Florida and less
important cotton producing states,
which in 1917 hand a combined TO-
tai of $4,000 acres.
1t may be, and the case presents
itself as a probability rather than
a mere possibility, that a revision
of acreage figures a month from
now will show an actual decrease
as compared with last year. This
prospect is due to the fact that up
to May 20 from five to 25 per cent
of the lands intended for cotton
had not been planted,
A condition nearly FIVE per cent
above nomal is indicated for Ten
nessee. This condition is due to
the fact that this state was not as
seriously affected by cold spells as
the other states of the cotton belt
were.
The plant has been almost en-.
tirely free from insect pests, is Of
good growth. healthy; the fields
are practically free from grass and
the soil in excellent condition.
Acreage shows a slight decrease.
Labor is causing some concern,
but farmers express confdencethat
they will be able to chop and pick
the crop.

thanks to the persistent and un-
firing efforts of the patriotic work

tinued this week, in order to give
every one the privilege OF having
a hand in putting Carroll county
away yonder over the top"
Mr.. Mays, the chairman of the

RED CROSR NOTES
Flying Squadron Making a Tour
Over the County

The Flying Squadron" is tour
ing the county and giving the peo-
Pile a last opportunity to contrib
ute to the Red Cross drive now
closing. They met fairly good
crowds Wednesday and collected
about $500. At most appointments
they we're given a cordial and
sympathetic reception.
A sheep donated to the local Red
Cross chapter BY the daughter of
Quay Foust was put up and sold
last Tuesday and was knocked off
to Mrs. J. L. Richards of Hotel
Olive. The amount realized was
Sl55.24. Mrs. Richards returned
the sheep to the Red Cross and it
will be put up and sold again next
Monday.
The big drive is being pressed
by the enemy on the western front
again and the allies are giving way
at places and the crisis seems near.
Now IS your time to do your best
for the Red Cross and freedom.

OYER THE TOP Big
The Red Grass Drive a Maguiii-
cent Success

The Red Cross Drive is coming
over the top ID Carroll.
The county was asked to give
$4,000. a much larger sum than
our neighboring counties were al
lotted, and we are coming over
che line with $4,000 or more.
It has been a brilliant campaign
and the workers, the speakers and
the giyers have all covered them
selves and the county with honor
and glory. 1t was victory Of
which every patriotic and true
American citizen in the county
should feel proud.
The campaign was one of the
most vigorous and enthusiastic
ever pulled off in the county. A
large per cent of the people, all
over the county, did their part,
and did it well. OF course there
we're some slackers, always is
when money donations are asked,
but they must feel lonesome.
The Third district is the banner
district, giving 1000, which is an
amount equal to ten per cent of
the assessed taxable property Of
the district. They had two big
rallies, one at Christmasville and
one at Hinkledale. Everyone in
the district was canvassed and
nearly everyone made donation.
The entire county was canvassed
last week, meetings being held at
the school houses and churches, and
addressed BY as enthusiastic and
earnest bunch of speakers as ever
championed a cause in this county.
Sundays meeting were especially
successful, closing with a splendid !
rally at the court house at night.
Many interesting incidents oc-
Cured during the campaign, which
were reported and discussed by
the speakers in their conferences.
In many places public sales we're
held and articles brought fabulous
prices. At Christmasyille a rooster
brought $50 and was finally given
to the lady who donated it in the
first place. She was poor widow,
who has son in the service, and
the rooster was all she could Of
ford When the bird was returned
to her it was accompanied by a
free-will offering of $40 in cash,
made By those present.
In many sections of the county
the colored people contributed lib
orally, and they deserve great
|
credit for the interest and patriot
ism manifested.
The Hico band deserves special
mention. This is a band of neigh
oorhood boys and they made splen-
did music, and they are always
ready to do their part.
Too much praise cannot be ex- !
tended j. w. Murphy, the chair
man, and his gallant band of work
ers. In another column we pub
lish Mr.. Murphy's statement to
the citizens of the county, whom
he regards 100 per cent loyal and !
patriotic. {
