COLD CAUSES SUFFERING

Although many Of us have complained at the ex-
sreme cold which recently prevailed here, we should
really congratulate ouIeele rot I'D fact that we re-

more severe elsewhere, end wAle &e perhaps ex-
perenced a little di4eomfor. fortunate brethren
in localities further north actually suffered.
In Dawson, Yukon Territory the mercury dropped
to 72 degrees below zero ani + many American cities
the cold has been intense Suffering among the poorer
classes has been augmented b he fuel fmine, and in
New York this suffering became so acute that mob
formed in the streets ard members took forcible
possession Of wagons loaded with 'oa Dealers had re-
fused to sell to many men and Of the poorer
class who had visited their yards and when the shver
ing sufferers saw heavily laden carts emerge from
their yards they pulled down the gates Of the wagons

ground carrying it to their homes in bags buckets and
quienty dispersed
The dealers claimed that the coal was being trans
ported to hospitals and other charitable and eeemosy-
nary Institutions; but finally promised to let retail
have what left after these institutions had
been supplied This promise apparently satisfied the
sufferers who were clamoring for fuel, and the moi

William G. McAdoo, director general of the rail
roads, later relieved the situation by issuing an order
permitting the Pennsylvania Railroad Companys tun-

GIVE YOUR SUPPORT.

The work being done by the Home
Service Department of the Ameri-
can Red Cross Association should
be heartily supported by everyone,
and the Commercial urges upon the
people of Lowndes county to pull to-
gether with the local committee.
Every report from the training
camps in America and from the
French front indicates the American
troops are in excellent spirits ac-
cording to w. Frank Pearsons, di-
rector general of the civilian relief
of the American Red Cross. "Wheth-
er the soldiers will maintain this
morale through trench life and bat
tie to the end, will be determined by
the Home Service of the Red Cross,
said Mr. Pearsons in an address re-
Gently "Men may be the best SOL
diers in the world" he declared "but
if things are not well with their FAM
lilies at home they worry and lose
efficiency, and the morale, that all
important factor, begins to fall"
"The greatest opportunity of the
Red Cross home service" said Mr.
Pearsons, Sis the conservation OF
human resourr'as-the maintenance
of good standards of health, educa-
ton, industry and family solidarity
among the large minority of soldiers
families which is not able to provide
these standards for itself"
