Pinellas r. c.
Chapters May
Be Consolidated

Mrs. ]. B. Cowsert, Mrs. L. S. Fer
maid, DR.. FL. B. Pattishall and Mr..
Harry Shaw attended a meeting yes
terday in st. Petersburg, the purpose
of which was to discuss the matter of
consolidating all the county Red Cross
chapters into one main organization
with the individual chapters as aux
iliaries. Mr.. John Graham, of Bra
dentown, Red Cross manager for Flor
ida, spoke before the body, explaining
the advisability of organizing, but the
idea was not enthusiastically second
ed. The executive committees of each
Of the three county chapters will meet
and decide the matter before next
Monday night, when the consolidation
shall or shall not be effected, accord
ing to the decision of the separate
chapters. The Southern division, A..
R. c., strongly advises one big coun-
ty organization in each county
throughout the state, and in some re-
spects it is considered advisable for
Pinellas, while in others it is thought
best to continue the separate chapters
as at present.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
 Cured.

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased DOT tion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deaf ness, and that is by a constitu- tional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Elstachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored t, it's moral m condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness is caused by ca tarrh. which is an inflamed con- dition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Oatarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Oatarrh Medicine.

GERMAN BARBARITY.

Education and civilization are, by no means, synonymous terms, fact, even if so in theory. ake for instance the German ! aople, and they are about the highest educated of all the peo- pies of the earth; and yet, recent concurrent history has proven them the most barbarous race in existence. They are cruel, bru-
 tai and inhuman, and as far away from the confines of civi- lized conduct as is possible for human beings to be. They seem to reap a grain of satisfaction
The Monticellonian., 1918-10-18

In these days of war, famine, disease and death many people believe that the inhabitants of the earth (preachers as welD have strayed away from the true Goi, and are worshipping idols; and that all of these are sent up- on us as a punishment for our sins. Individually, we are una ble to diagnose and tell the cause, but we do know that the country is getting into a pretty bad fix.
The Monticellonian., 1918-10-18

from the means of the dying, from the cries of the helpless and the pleas of succor from those in distress. They have neither compassion, sympathy or sorrow for their victims. The wounded soldier found on the battle-f eld, by them, is either bayonetted or shot to death. When one of their hellish torpe- does strikes a ship and sends 1t to watery grave, they will fire upon the passengers-men, wo- men and children-feeing for their lives in the small boats. In their retreat, before the victo- rious allies, they drive the poor peasants before them into Ger man slavery and debauchery, and burn their homes. This is the horrible record that Germa- ny is making. And, this too, ed ucated Germany, leader in schools, colleges and institutions of learning; a race of scholars, scientists and philosophers. The savage Indian, in his wild and barbarous state, sometimes yield ed to the plea of humanity and allowed his victim to escape the scalping-knife or the burning stake. In legend, we are told that when Capt. John Smith was tied to the stake and prepara- tions were being made to apply the torch, that Pocahontas fell upon her knees and made SUD- plication, and,
 "Then shook the warriors of the
 shade,
 L'Ke leaves OH aspen iiHDs
 ,ubdued by that heroic maid,
 Who breathel | d prayer for him."
 And, that Powhatan, her father chief, had him unbound and set free. But if the Germans have shown mercy anywhere or at any time it has been omitted from the record. But there IS another chapter to this story. What is to be done with such a people, when their subjugation is final and complete, as it soon will be and, and for the benefit of the civilized world must be? This is a question that must be solved and right. And, to do 1t, will require the sober judgment of the ablest men of all the al lied nations. We believe these men will be equal to the emer- gency and that true civilization will approve of what they do.

Northern Feeders Want Arkansas Hogs.

Arkansas hogs can now be sold to Northern feeders at good price. Arrangements are being made to supply these hogs from the farms here where there is . surplus or where the feed supply Is too short to carry them them to the feeders of the corn belt states Lists of the men want ing these hogs will be available soon, and it Is hoped that some ot the surplus in Drew county may be marketed this way. Hogs that are in good shape from mast feeding will command as good price for feeders as they will on the butcher market. Additional flesh and better flesh can be put on them by the Northern corn, thus increasing and improving the meat supply of the country at profit to all concerned. Every man who will have surplus hogs for sale should ask about this at once and take advantage of the opportunity that is offered to market his animals in this way.
 Community effort was shown in big way by the exhibits at the Fair from the communities about Jones School House and Selma. Unfortunately very few got to see these exhibits; every one in the county should have seen them They not only show. ed that the people are doing wonderful things for the material improvement of their communi. ties, but they are doing these in the right spirit of co-ope ration end mutual helpfulness. It is hop ed that all communities in Drew county through the organizations now being formed may cultivate the same spirit and show at the next opportunity that they are following the example of these two communities which are do- ing so much.
