Canteen Work at Hamlet.

The Rockingham folks have
been invited to take over Mon
days and Thursdays in the Red
Cross Canteen work at Hamlet.
Mrs. w. N. Everett, with Mrs.
w. c. Leak as LIST lieutenant, will
have charge on Monday morn
ings. Mrs. Arenson, with Mrs.
Palmer and Mrs. Frank Terry,
will have charge Monday after
Moons. Mrs. ]. T. Collier, with
Miss Maude Moore and Mrs. w.
P. Webb, will be in charge on
Thursdays.
Hamlet being a junction point
several train loads of troops pass
there daily; and sometimes as
many as eight and over. Often
the coaches are emptied of drink
ing water, and these hot summer
days occasion the soldiers much
discomfort in their long ride.
Therefore the Red Cross has
seen fit to establish Canteens at
intervals, the funds for operating
these coming from the National
treasury of the Society. One
is at Monroe, one at Hamlet and
another at Raleigh. The ladies'
of the adjacent Red Cross Chap
tiers have charge of these stations
and provide the men with iced
water, lemonade or tea, besides
fruits, magazines and smokes.
"a few weeks ago Sheriff Bald.
win and deputies captured 300
pounds of sugar at a blockade
still. He turned this over to the
Food Administrator, and Admin
istrator Everett Monday turned
it over to this Canteen work,
the Rockingham workers getting
100 pounds and Hamlet 200)

War Savings Drive.

IT seems that before one
money Drive is over another
begins. Just one Drive after the
other. BUT WHAT IS THAT
TO YOU WHO ARE AT HOME!
What if YOU were actually in
the trenches? Is money dearer
than life?
The Drive-the Red Cross
Drive-that closed two weeks
ago was for heart GIVING. The
new Drive that begins June 1928
is for SAVING.
The President and Governor
have set apart the week of June
1928 as War Savings Week. It
is the intention to make a. clean
UP in the matter of the War
Stamps-to get our people to 60
"over the top with the county
allotments, instead of dragging
the matter over a long period Of
months. It is hoped everyone
will buy as many of the Stamps
as possible during that week,
but the main purpose is to get
pledges from the people that
they will buy to the sacrificing
point and pay for same before
December 31st. No one can
buy more than 81, 900 worth.
The call has come the week
is set for June 1928, with the
BIG DAY June 18th. The fol-
lowing appeal from the head
quarters should stir every pulse:
Every passing day sees more of our
finest boys setting sail to join the allied
forces in the splendid fight for Liberty
and a lasting Peace. They are the first
Line of Defensive at home are the
second. We must get back of these
men.-back of every last mothers son
of them; back of them with all of our
spirit, courage, determination, and re-.
sources
Every little thing that we have, every
little thing that we hope to have;
all our thoughts, all our spirit, all our
force must go to holding up the arms of
our boys.
1T is grim task we have-.--we must
get right down to bedrock, to bareback,
to patched clothes, if they be necessary;
we must save, aye, even skimp. No
sacrifice can be more than adequate. We
must make our purchases less we must
make our needs less, we must save
money, labor, energy, materials, and lay
them all willingly at the feet of our Gov.
, eminent. We must say, "My country
fl am not fit for the battle line, use me
here at home. J am ready"
The call has come----the day is set.--
June %: On, or before, that day it il
planned to pledge every man, woman
and child to save to the utmost limit .oi
their ability and from their savings tc
buy, at regular intervals, a specified
/. amount of War-Savings Stamps until the
end of the year.
BE ready before the day comes; put
aside every other task; there is no Other
duty for you then. Go out and work
pledge yourself and pledge everybody
( else you can. This is your chance to
really serve. Our boys are offering their
lives-you are asked for very, very little
in comparison. Go out and WIN!
We viii winl The stake IS such that

BEGIN CONSTRUCTION
OF HOSPITAL IN JUNE

The breaking of ground for the new
Methodist hospital, at 1925 Lamar bou-
leyard, Memphis, Tenn, delayed for
several weeks by the drawing of te-
dious plans, viii be started early in
June, according to an announcement
Monday. The architects will COM
plete specifications by the last of May
and the construction will be rushed,
the actual work to begin not later than
June Is.
The proposed hospital will cost $780,
600 for first wing alone, and the fur
nishings and equipment will add an
other $4,000 in cost. The buildings
now on the site of the hospital will be
put to use as nurses homes, acting up
on the advice of architects that they
are admirably suited for such duty.
They are valued at $4,000.
1t is proposed to have the hospital
ready for occupancy in the fall. 1t
will serve Methodists and constituents
from Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi
Western Kentucky and portion of
Missouri. More than 100000 Method
lists are backing up the proposition,
and the last note on the site has beer,
taken up and paid off.
The ground included in the site COM
prises eight and one-third acres, which
will be gradually filled with buildings
as the demand of patients requires.
J H. Sherard, of Sherard, Miss, is
president of the hospital; J. R. Pepper,
first vice president; Thos. B. King,
secretary and financial agent, and L.
NJ Stratton treasurer.
The building committee consists Of
L M. Stratton, chairman; G. 7. Fitz-
hugh, secretary; R. w. Bailey, R. REL
lis and F. N. Fisher. Mr.. King, the
financial agent, reports that the last
payment, the third Of the subscrip-
tons pledged, has been coming in nice
ly.
When completed the Methodist hos
pital will make the fourth denomina-
tional hospital in Memphis. The 9TH

and Baptist Memorial

VOLUNTEERS WANTED IN
RED TRIANGLE WORK

Atlanta, Ga, April 23.-"Volunteer
in the overseas service of the Red Tri-
angle" That slogan of service is one
now used by the Y. M. c. A. in a big
recruiting drive which it is now put
ting on to man it's army and navy
work. According to the campaign
plans 5000 men must be recruited for
overseas service with the Y. M. C. A.
within ninety days. In addition to that
number several hundred more will be
needed at home for work in the train
ing camps and naval points.
Besides the steadily increasing de-
mands which are being made by the.
continual mobilization Of American
soldiers, hundreds Of secretaries each
month are requested by the French,
Italian, British andPortuguese mill
tary authorities. Military leaders
feel that men must be provided and
that their enlistment is a necessary
part in fulfilling our obligations in the
war for democracy.
During the next few weeks every
city and village and countryside in
the south as well as all other parts of
the country will be searched for men
not Of military capabilities but who
are able to s--ye their country and its
l-ghtcll she led Triangle serl .ce IN
soh.e cak~~ity. Ministers, business
men, lawyers, farmers and teachers;
in fact, men from all walks Of life are
being urged to voluatee. Tor the serv-
ice.
Just low important il IS can be seen
from the assertion of one worker in
France who said that the leadership
of 'Y' hut in France has bigger pos
sibilities of national service than most
of the bank and college presidencies
and big city pulpits in America"
The government is watching the re-
cruiting drive win interest. That
should be one incentive for volunteer
ing. President Wilson has said; "The
thing that you are doing is providing
the moral armor for all of these soldier
men of ours.

HAVE YOU TESTED.

Farmers of Tennessee. The ques-
ton is still before you. Have you
tested your seed corn? It is necessary
this year, for the winter has been Sc
we're and much of your seed corn is bad
frozen germs are common.
No one can tell whether seed corn
is bad or not by looking at it. Don't
fool yourself. You can't do it. You
may be able to tell some bad kernels,
but you will miss more than you will
find.
Test the seed corn. Don't plant it
until you know that it will grow. Ask
yoaf county agent for directions, If
you do not have them. 1t will pay
you to know what you are planting.
The farmer who plants bad seed corn
this year is unpatriotic, and as well
very bad business man.

TWO ARE DEAD AND

Quillin and Henderson had managed

Lawrey and Brinsfeld from under the
