In sad but loving remembrance OF
nv dearly beloved husband, Ezra
Bayliss. who died one year ago to-
day, July. 20, 1917.

Virginia's Part 1000, 0,O00-T. VI. Car
rington, Richmond. State Chairman.
Drive TO Raise Sl12,000,000 Starts
in October.
A meeting of the War Work Coun-
ell of the Y. NJ. C. A., in New York
was largely attended by the leading
men of the eastern military district
and the several states accepted their
quota making up $40, 9,2sO,O00. Of this
amount Virginia was put down at ST.
100000, which semed to conform with
the apportionment of other states and
also with the amount of money to be
raised throughout the United States;
that is, S112,000,000, which is prac
tically double that CT last year, and
the amount Virginia subscribed last
year is just doubled in this accepted
quota. The campaign for raising this
fund is to be put on possibly in Oc-
tober.
The meeting was presided over by
John D. Rockefeller, ir., who made
very interesting address and was fol-
lowed by Dr.. John R. Mott and Mr..
George W. Perkins, both of whom
talked most earnestly and interesting
" of the needs of the army and navy
Y. NJ. C. A. A letter from General
Pershing, endorsed by many of his
subordinate officers, was read, the
purport of which was that as pure
" military agency, they regard the
association as absolutely necessary
for efficiency and that without the
Y. NJ. C. A. following the men from
the time they landed, going right up
to the fighting trenches: that without
this agency the morale of the soldiers
would be lowered to a considerable
degree, and that on this morale, which
means feeling of confidence due to
good physical condition, and further,
the feeling that the soldier appreciates
that he is thought of by those who are
1T home giving this aid and comfort,
increases their fighting ability to 4
most wonderful extent.
Our people must be brought to ap-
preciate the fact that the Y. NJ. c. A.
nut as stated by Mr.. Rockefeller, Is
the only place that affords anything
like home influence, protection and,
as far as possible, comforts. With
these facts absolutely established and
backed by business men, the highest
in the country our people generally,
should feel it a privilege, as we'll as
duty, to respond to the utmost limit
of their ability when the time comes
in the middle autumn, for the appeal
for funds to sustain this great cause.
At the close of the meeting the rep
cesentatives of the several states sep
arated to elect state chairman and
accept their quota of Sl,000,000 and
elected T. VI. Darlington Of Richmond.

The Way They
 Do 1t in Texas

Brenham, Texas, Dec. 27. Six we'll known farmers of this county of Ger man descent, who refused to join the Red Cross, were taken from their wag ons and fiogged by committee of the most prominent citizens of Brenham who did their work without masks and in the open daylight.
 Washington county is largely made up of German population and the Red Cross membership campaign was al most an utter failure until the Amerl- can citizens became aroused by the apathy and open denunciation by the German population. A meeting was held at the opera house and fund of $25O raised to buy memberships for those unable to purchase them, and an armful of buggy whips was secured for those who were able to buy and would not.
 A committee went upon the streets and every man who was able to SO and who refused to join the Red Cross, was given a severe beating and then made to buy membership. After six farm CTS of German descent were severely beaten there was rush for member ship that was unprecedented ard be. fore the campaign closed Washington county went over it's quota by LOGO members Exchsnge.
