py PATRIOTIC PATRICIA

Anniston. October 19-fSpecial.l- tn spite of the Influenza epidemic the wom- en of Calhoun county have worked with unfalling zeal for the fourth Liberty Loan, and during the past week have met with marked success.
 Fired with the spirit of their sons, hus- bands and brothers, who are fighting victoriously in France. the women of Calhoun have concentrated every effort during the past three weeks for the sue cess of the greatest of all loans for liberty
 The old saying that practice makes perfect has been fully demonstrated dur
 ing the fourth drive, The experience gained during the third drive, and the complete organization of the women of Alabama for which the entire state owes a debt of gratitude to the wonderful state chairman, Mrs. Salon Jacobs, have been of inestimable value during the fourth campaign. The response of the women Tn every county for aid in this vital issue was immediate and enthns- iastic.
 A great test of the patriotism Of Ala bama has been made, and the spirit they have shown during the drive will be Nproof to the soldier boys over there of our pledge to back them to the limit of our ability in their heroic fight for us and for world democracy
 Calhoun has been fortunate in having such a capable leader as Mrs, Stephen Thompson, who as county chairman of the woman's division has so successfully managed the womans part in the great campaign Reports of bond sales sent in to Mrs. Thompson on Thursday amounted to $60,00o
 The success of the woman's division during the drive is largely due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. C. w. Dau- gette of Jacksonville Mrs Daugette is member of the speakers committee of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, and member of the organizations com mittee and one of the vice presidents of the woman's committee of the C'al- houn county council of defense. She has contributed her time and talent freely in helping to organize the county for the drive, and to inspire the women of Calhoun to pledge cooperative aid and interest in the campaign.
 Mrs Daugette belongs to a patriotic family. She is daughter. of the late Gen. John H. Forney whose deeds of heroism are well known to Alabamians Mrs Daugette is a prominent membe. of the United Daughters of the Con- federacy and is doing fine work as state director of the Children of the Confed- eracy Her ready willingness to do her part in every patriotic endeavor make Mrs Daugette's services in constant de- mand throughout the county.
 The other chairmen appointed by Mrs. Thompson who have worked faithfully for the success of the Fourth Liberty Loan are: Mrs. George Rowan of Jack sonville, Miss Amy Cooper of Oxford. Mrs. o. L. Stewart of Piedmont, Mrs. D.

John Williams Avirett of Rose Hill, Cumberland Md. Miss Avirett became interested in this phase of war work in Canada, where, for the past two sum mers she worked among the returned Canadian soldiers in the hospitals around Toronto, and this spring when she spent 8 great deal of time at the base hos pital at Camp Mcclellan, Anniston.
 She and Miss Harriett Fitts have their programme together. Harriett does darky songs and number of talkalogues to piano accompaniment; a dariSy camp meeting song and jig with ukelele accom- paniment.
 1t is said that the Yankee soldiers are hungry for amusement of the sort they get lover home' and they are particu- larly cordial to anyone who will voluft- forts and hardship of life in France to entertain them.

But, no matter where he may be, he is sure of appreciation.
