Many of these women have knit
more than ten sweaters, many of
them twelve, and great many of
them more than two.
The new wool is very heavy and
it will take pound or more for each
sweater. This is double the quanti-
ty required for those already knit,
and the wool will cost double for each
sweater.
Many of the members of the Ma
rietta Branch can do no other part
of the Red Cross work, and as it
is so necessary to keep our boys
warm in the trenches it is necessary
to raise funds to buy the wool, so
that these women can do this part
of the work

NAVY GETS 5000 GLASSES
BY APPEAL THROUGH PRESS
BUT NEEDS MANY MORE

Over 5000 glasses of various kinds
have been received by the Navy in
response to its call through the news
papers for binoculars, spyglasses,
telescopes, sextants and chronomet
ers. There is urgent need for many
more.
Heretofore the United States has
been obliged to rely on foreign coun-
tries for most Of its supply of such
articles. These channels of supply be-
Ing closed, it has been necessary to
appeal to the patriotism of private
owners for "eyes for the navy"
All articles should be tagged with
name and address Of the donor and
sent to Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
care of Naval Observatory, Washing
ton, D. G. Those not suitable will be
returned to senders. Careful records
will be kept of accepted glasses so
they may, If possible, be returned at
the termination of the war.
AS the government under the law
cannot accept services or materia
without payment, 81 will be paid for
each article accepted.

Wealthy St. Petersburg Visitor Is .,
Missing; Was "Winning Big Wao

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-That B. F.
Creech, a wealthy resident of Four
Mile, Ky, has been the victim OF
swindlers who were working the old
racing game is the belief of Mr..
Creech's friends here who fear that
the elderly man way have been the
victim of foul play. Mr.. Creech left
here January 81, telling his friends
that he was on a business deal that
would net him $4,000. He went with
three strangers in an automobile and
nothing has been heard from him
since though he left word at his hotel
to hold his mail and that he would
send forwarding address in case he
decided not to come back here this
winter. No word has come and his
friends here are considerably worried
and today Chief of Police A. J. East
ers was brought into the case.
Mr.. Creech met some men who are
said to have been playing a conf
dence game and he seemed to fall
completely into their clutches. What
they promised him is not known but
Mr.. Creech told his friends that he
and two other men had won $121, 900.
He said that the money would not be
paid to him and his parners unless
they were able to show that they
could have paid the bet had they lost
Mr.. Creech said that he had to show
that he had 10000 in his home bank
at the time the bet was made or he
could not get his share of the wager.
He was making efforts to raise the
money and put it in the bank and it
is said that he would not have had
any trouble getting the money in cash
to put in the bank. His friends urged
him to let the whole thing alone and
tried to laugh him out of the deal but
he was stubborn and believed firmly
that the men he was dealing with
were honest
The men took him away in a car
and that is the last seen of him al
though it is his custom to spend ev-
cry winter here. There is some
chance that he is in Lakeland as it
I is said that crooks now working in
this section have been making their
headquarters in that city.

Philadelphia Makes sla
Preparations For ThirdsMI
Liberty Loan. Campaign

Philadelphia, Feb. 16.-Probably no
other section of the country has
made more elaborate preparations
for the third Liberty Loan campaign
than the Third Federal Reserve Dis
trict which embraces two-thirds Of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey south OF
Trenton and all of Delaware. Phila-
delphia, as the headquarters of this
territory, will be the local point Of
spectacular interest during the new
drive.
Four art figures in heroic mold
have been installed over the four
archways of the City Hall here to
stimulate interest in the campaign
Notable among these is reproduc-
ton, in all but the dimensions, of
PdrthOldi's statue of the Goddess of
Liberty in New York harbor. Sur

AhuuiClpdl uuiluiHS arc lSopcCtiFCly,
q gigantic representation of a khaki
clad soldier going over the top; a
tank on the advance and a portrayal
OF an American battleship destroying
German submarine.
The statue Of liberty, including the
torch, is twenty-nine feet high and,
with the pedestal, towers aloft about
fifty feet 1t is the largest imitation
of the bronze presented to America
by the French nation ever made and
it is expected that it will be entirely
veneered with coating of medals
and nails, the latter to be driven in
by bOnd-subscribers.
In the base of the statue there is a
large room with two entrances. From
this ladder leads to the figure of
the goddess. Bondbuyers will be fur
nished with medals on which their
Initials will be stamped and with
these they expect to weld a complete
coat of mail for Liberty" long be-
fore the campaign is completed.
Delegations from all over the Third
Federal Reserve District have planned
pIlgrimages. to the city to take part
IN this unique pledge of patriotism.

LET Us SMILE

The thing that goes the farthest to-
: ward making life worth while,
That costs the least and does the
most, is just a pleasant smile.
The smile that bubbles from heart
that loves its fellow-men
Will drive away the cloud Of gloom
and coax the sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness, too
with many kindness blent-
It's worth million dollars and ii
doesn't cost cent.
There is no room for sadness when
we see CHEEKY smile,
1t always has the same good look
it's never out Of style
It enrves us on to try again when
failures make us blue,
1t pays higher interest, for it is
merely lent
It's worth a billion dollars and /.
doesn't cost a cent.
A smile comes very easy-you can
wrinkle up with cheer.
A hundred times before you can
squeeze out soggy tear.
1t ripples out, moreover, to the heart
strings that will tug,
And always leaves an echo that is
very like hug.
so, smile away Folks understand
what by a smile is meant
It's worth million dollars, and il
doesn't cost a cent.

What does it all mean?" the hard

20 SHOPS PRODUCING
 BROWNING GUN TOOLS
 ALL LOSE CONTRACT!
OF LAVIT IN FOMENTING STRIKES CAUSE OF ACTION TAKEN
 WORK TRANSFERRED WEST-3oO
 WALK OUT OF ARMS AT NOON.

Today the Remington Arms to. has answered the machin- ists' strike and threats made by Samuel Lavit, the business agent of the Machinists' union, by cancelling all contracts with about 20 local shops for the manufacture of Browning ma chine gun tools and parts, and transferring the work to factor ies in the middle West which have been either closed or run ming on part time owing to gov ernment orders covering the manufacture of automobiles and non-essentials.
 This afternoon it was learned that approximately 300 men had walked out of the tool department of the Remington Arms plant, but it is said that while the production of machine guns will be somewhat slowed up, the handicap will not seriously effect the gun production as the 800 who have struck represent less than 30 per cent. of the entire complement of workers in the tool department, and the ma jority of the malcontents show a dis position to return to their work to- morrow morning.
 The contract transfer on the part of the Arms company has only been taken after careful weighing of all the facts connected with the output of the gun parts which are so vitally necessary to keep our troops at the front supplied with weapons.
 The reluctance of the Remington people to take this step before, was due to their desire to avoid the few days delay incidental to the transfer of drawings and tools to the shops at more distant points. It is understood government officials were first con- suited.
 Browning machine guns, and auto matic pistols are needed, and needed badly by our soldiers on the firing line and every minute counts in the production of the arms, means the sacrifice of the lives of American SOL diers
 The officials of the Remington plant have exhausted every means to (Continued on Page D

F FRES|II MEN POUR INTO LANDERS Next Blow of Huns is Is Awaited With
 Confidence. AUSTRALIANSeIN
 IMPORTANT PUSH Great Aerial Activity is Reported Over U. s.
 Positions.

Along the battle lines in northern France the Allied troops still await the shock of renewed heavy fighting by the Germans.
 Apparently the rainy weather has interfered a great deal with the enemy's transport and he has not been able to perfect his arrangements because of the difficulties of bringing his supplies over the battle torn ground of Flanders and Pi- cardy.
 Having gained some advantageous positions in local fighting, the Allies are waiting for the next effort of the Germans which already has been de- 1ayed much longer than in previous lulls since the beginning of the offen- sive on March q. Meanwhile fresh troops and new supplies are pouring in to strengthen the Allied positions and this fact must also add to the perturbation of the enemy, who has nothing remarkable in military achievement to show for his heavy losses of the last seven weeks.
 The edging in process was continued by the British last night in the i'm portant sector east of Amiens, be tween the Ancre and the Somme, the Australians following up their recen successes there. The operation wat a purely local one, but it resulted 1T anclForing the British line more firmly on the ridge between Sally le Sec anC Morlancourt and thus putting it in { better position to resist the expected | German assault.
