JACKSON COUNTY
 T0 SECURE NURSE

After years of work and many eff forts made, Jackson county is to se- cure a public health service nurse, furnished by the American Red Cross whose duties extend over the whole county, going from house to house, and especially in the rural districts in the effort of aiding in better health and the nursing back to health of those diseases that need special nursing, care and advice. For sever al years it had been hoped that through the sale of Red Cross Christ mas Seals that such a nurse would be realized, but not until this year was it successful. A long felt need will be realized when such person can go throughout the town and county teaching the people not only to nurse their suck, but how to live that much of their sickness can be avoided.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Spitzer of Chicago, who has spent much of her time in special study of public health nurs- ing, will arrive the first of Septem- Der and will begin her work as soon as she arrives and can get an office fixed up In this office will have to bbe number of pieces of fnrniture with many other things which the people are asked to donate, among them being one desk, three chairs, one table, one couch, one typewriter, typewriter desk if possible, twelve double sheets, twelve single sheets, twelve pillow cases, twelve bath towels, twelve hand towels, station4 cry for desk. An appeal is made to local citizens to donate the use of the foregoing articles. Such articles may not necessarily be new, but may be loaned from offices or residences This is an opportunity for persons to perform real patriotic duty, and those desiring to do so will please notify Mrs. Will Campbell. Tele- phone 237.

TEN VOLUNTEER
 THEIR SERVICES


 The enrolment of the Student Nurses, in the campaign which has been going on all over the state since the first of August, has closed. How ever, any young woman may enlist in Jackson county any time hereaf- ter, by applying to Mrs. Claude M. Erwin. The ladies in charge of the Jackson county work are very much pleased at the enrolment of young ladies, as our county's quota has been passed. Each student will be given from now until the first of April to enter training, either in arr my or civilian schools. They can take their choice, but will be required to remain in either of these schools for nursing from one to three years. The young ladies of Jackson county who have enrolled in the Student Nurses Reserve Service, as it is call ed, are Misses Carolyn Harris, Jessie Kidd, Maude Littleton and Blanche Sink of Newport, Mildred Harris of Auvergne, Lois Gardner and Minnie Belle Collier of Tupelo, Lucille Tay- Tor of Elgin and Alma and Anna Mc- Auley of Weldon.

+B0Ys CLOTHING
 SENT bELG|ANs

The Red Cross sewing rooms have just turned out it's quota of sixty suits for little Belgian boys, which will be shipped to France and Bel gium to make glad sixty little boys of that war stricken country. The ladies were very enthusiastic over making them and many put tie and handkerchief into the pockets, as an extra gift, and which will make them all the more appreciated by the little boys. On account of school opening the middle of September the sewing rooms will have to be moved again. The location has not been definitely decided, but the Stayton brothers have offered room in their building for use as the surgical dressing room and MT. H. c. Sanders has rendered the use of a room on Walnut street, adjoining the Mada- line theatre, for sewing room. The ladies expect to be in their new quar- ters by September 10th.
 Weldon has organized a sewing unit and has an attractive work room, with Mrs, D. Kimbrough as superintendent.
