HER ALL AS NEEDED

Her boy is in the army, her heart is with him,
and it beats proudly. She takes her patriotism as
women usually do, in no broken doses. When she
gives. she gives all.
Mrs. Emma Brantlcy, of McAdoo, Texas, is her
name and address. Not long ago. she received from
the treasury department two checks for $780, rep
resenting the allotment made to her from his pay
by her boy, WARREN the amount which the gov
eminent adds to every allotment. Enclosing the
check to it's senders she wrote this letter:

ance at present, and don't want to take
anything from the government that it needs

And Berlin says that Americans are just bluff
fling! That the people are not interested in their

Here is the letter Mrs Brantley received in
reply:
Washington, Feb. II, 1918
Dear Mrs. Brantley:-
81 have your letter Of January 80, with
which you returned allowance and allotment
checks for November and December total
ing $40, sent you by the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance of the treasury department.
You have evidenced a splendid spirit of
patriotism in sending this money back to
the government, but since it legally belongs
to you assure you that you need feel no
hesitancy in accepting it. l therefore re-
turn the checks to you. Should you desire
to place the money at the disposal of the
government | would suggest that you in
vest it either in a Liberty Bond or War
Savings certificates. ,...a....
Sincerely yours,

Will Know Later.

There is question as to whether the
cases tried at the May term of the
Adair circuit court we're legally dis
posed of and also the legality of in
dictments returned at that term. The
last Legislature changed the time of
holding the courts in Adair county
and the change took effect before the
May term. Therefore, the May term
was held without authority.
At the May term Robt. Stevens was
convicted on a felony charge and the
jury fixed his punishment at three
years in the penitentiary. 1t is claim
ed by his attorney that he was not
legally convicted and last Thursday
Mr., j. p. Montgomery made a motion
before Judge Carter, asking that he
be returned to Adair county for a
new trial. The motion was overruled
and we take it that further steps will
be taken by his attorneys.
