the crash of fallen cities and the cries
OF tortured humanity, the voice of
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the one message of hope to our war;
burdened world.
The black horror of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work of this
mighty force. The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation
without this saving power.
1t is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
of declaring to, the world, through
the Red Cross, our message of mercy
and brotherhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
of woe and sustains our faith in hui
man kind. 1t is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Cross work that is felt by every citi-
zen in the land, that inspires us with
courage and hope.
Out of this hell of slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to heaven of worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
of those ideals and principles in de-
Tense of which we are giving our all
in lives and material wealth-because
on every field of death it is proclaim
ing its message of life-because it
keeps ever before US and the world
the cause for which we war-because
it will preserve us in the hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope of the world.

FOR WOMEN MUST WORK

"For men must work and women must weep" are the lines of an old song but they will not fit the pres ent situation. Men must fight and women must work is the new version. And lot of women are working, have started working since the men went to war, and a lot more of them are going to have to follow the example of their sisters as the war continues and as more men are called to battle.
 More women in the country are going to help plant and harvest ths crops. More women in the cities are going to have to enter business and industrial offices and plants. Women are doing those things and more in Europe. They will have to do them here.
 The war will force many women to labor in order to support themselves. Many others will not be forced to work thru need of money, but by working they can keep the wheels of industry turning and business going. Women idlers will not be forced to work by law as many men idlers will be forced to work, but the time is ap- preaching when a woman who loafs will be looked upon as stacker.
 The present offers an opportunity to women to help the nation not only by keeping the home fires burning, working in Red Cross sewing rooms and in other war relief work, but by volunteering for any line of endeavor that will fill the place of a man who must go to war.

tain pardon for him. They seem to think the law is justified by mere conviction. Conviction isn't punish ment. It shouldn't be matter of sentiment, or if they are going to be guided by mere sentiment what is the use of convicting the man in the first place.
 If a man knows he is going to have to serve a sentence in the peniten tiary he will be more careful. If he believes he can escape serious punish ment via a lot of petition signers and a pardon he is going to take more chances.
 As in everything else in a democra- cy law enforcement is up to the peo- pie. If the laws are not enofrced 1t is because you will not enforce them.

The subject of law enforcement is to the constitutional convention. They are trying to include in the new con- stitution measures that will stop mob ping by providing drastic punish ment for the mobbers. Mob law IS evidence that the people, not only in Arkansas, but in nearly every state have doubts that the perpetrator of heinous crime will be punished quick enough by the criminal courts.
 The chief trouble is that few viola tors are punished sufficiently. This is due to a great degree to the peo- pie themselves.
 Arkansas is state of petition sign CTS. We sign petitions on the least provocation. and half the time we don't know what we are signing. Ev- cry petition for a pardon or parole presented to the governor presents many names of Heading citizens" 7" as the governor is wont to term them. And as a rule they are. Many pel- tions bear the names of prosecuting attorneys, and jurors who tried the case.
 No matter how guilty man is and no matter what city or town in Ark ansas, a popular lawyer or q we'll known private citizen can write pe- tition and get any number of signers without any trouble. A signer may feel that the convicted man got his just deserts if he was sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary. But sign ing a petition is such a simple thing and one dislikes to refuse little fa- vor for the lawyer or the petition cir culator. Therefore he signs. There may be an element of forgiveness in it, but that is trifling.
 The petition goes to the governor He sees the names and he is only too willing to extend clemency because it increases his support at the polls. At least he thinks so. Occasionally however, there is a case of real mer- it, but they are very few.
 A juror should have no right to sign . petition for a pardon, neither should judge nor prosecuting at torney. It is waste of time ane money to convict man and then ob

What We Fight For.

The high aims of America and her
allies are well expressed in President
Wilson's greetings to France on Bas-
tile day:
"As France celebrated our Fourth
of July, so do we celebrate her Four
teenth, keenly conscious of a COM
radeship of arms and of purpose of
which we. are deeply proud. The sea
seems very narrow to-day, France is
so close neighbor to our hearts The
war is being fought to save ourselves
from intolerable things, but it is
also being fought to save mankind.
We extend our hands to each other,
to the great peoples with whom we
are associated; and to the peoples
everywhere who love right and prize
justice as thing beyond price, and
consecrate ourselves once more to
the noble enterprise of peace and JUS
tice, realizing the great conceptions
that have lifted France and America
high among the free peoples of the
world. The French flag flies to-day
from the staff of the White House,
and America is happy to do honor to
that flag"

COMMERCIAL ECONOMY.
To the Retail Merchants of Union
City.

The Committee on Commercial
Economy, of the Council of National
Defense, respectfully requests that
every retail merchant in Union City
adopt the Governments recommends
tions relative to the delivery of mer-
chandise, to-wit:
/. Restrict deliveries to one trip
day over each route.
2. Eliminate entirely special de-
liveries.
3. Organize cooperative delivery
systems wherever possible.
These recommendations are made
by the Government for the purpose
of eliminating unnecessary work,
thereby releasing additional man
power for more essential occupation.
In speaking of man-power we not
only include the driver, but the saw
ing of every item which enters into
the delivery transaction, such as
wear and tear on wagon or truck,
feed, gasoline, etc.
We present these recommenda-
tions to the retail merchants of I'm
ion City and ask them to notify their
customers that on and after August
S, only one delivery day over each
route will be made. BY this we mean
that the customers must be classified
into routes and notified that after
August the delivery wagon will
cover their particular route at GER
tain time of the day, and that their
orders must, be received before the
wagon. leaves the store
We ask the retail merchants of
Union City to adopt this delivery sys-
tenn as patriotic war measure there
by contributing this much to the
winning of the war.

Y. M. G. A. Work.

A special meeting was held at the
First Christian Church last Sunday
night. Mr.. Massey, secretary of the
State Y. M. G. A., addressed the au-
dience on the subject of war work.
The Triangle, or that branch of the
Y. M. G. A. which is associated alto
gether with the support of the En-
tente Allies in the great war, is an
ally principally in the Strengthening
of the morale of the army. This
work is probably one of the greatest
assets in the present crisis. While
Germany is holding her men with
the lash, our armies are being held
with the cooperation and encourage
ment of the Christian people of this
and the allied peoples. For instance,
as Mr.. Massey says, the illiterate SOL
der has somebody to write for him
a letter home, and from this time ON
the writer is a friend who inspires
the soldier withSa true knowledge of
the war and the patriotism and cour-
age of an enlightened and loyal citi-
zen. This is a single one of the de-
sails of the work of the Triangle
It's duties are manifold and equally
important.
The meeting was to interest our
people in the, work of enlisting men
capable of filling the responsible
positions of secretaries for overseas.

Vacation for Miners Eliminated

During the last few weeks the
supply of railroad cars to the mines
has been so materially increased that
coal shipping is no longer obstructed
to any considerable degree on ac-
count of lack of cars. In order that
no time may be lost at the mines,
the Production Bureau of the United
States Fuel Administration urges the
abandonment of the usual holidays
that the miners are in the habit of
observing, and also of unnecessary
attractions in the coal-mining fields
that might be expected to distract
the mine workers from their duty.
The custom of many years in the
anthracite fields for employees of a
colliery to remain away from work
on the day of funeral of any fellow
worker who has been killed at the
colliery has, by mutual agreement,
been discontinued. Instead of fol-
lowing this custom hereafter, a com
mittee of six will be appointed to
attend the funeral, the company to
pay the days wages of the six men
on the committee. In addition, the
companies have agreed to pay the
nearest heirs of the worker $3.50
over and above the compensation al
lowed by law
At Spangler, Pa, in response to a
request made by the director of pro-
duction of the United States Fuel
Administration, a firemcn's conven-
tion to last one week ives cancelled,
in order that thsu@ might be no loss
OF labor at the mines. }
In other coal fields similar attrac-
tions have been abandoned volun-
tarily~ by the miners in order that
the demands of the Government fori
more coal production may bS
achieved
