Liberty Loan drive having just termi-

American patriots subscribed for

of our people to help win the war. No
small percentage of this interest lies
among our farmers, who are making

an opportunity of sharing equally in

Last week our Brownsville chapter
sent one box Of hospital garments, one
box of surgical dressings and one box
containing 80 pairs of knitted quilts
1t is gratifying to know that all cf
the boxes that have been sent to At
lanta from our chapter have been
marked in Class A. All Of the work
of our auxiliaries has been very fins
and we may justly feel proud Of the
record our chapter has made for excel

We are always glad to welcome Wis
itors to our headquarters. This week
we have had visitors from Stanton,
Dancyville, Gates and Aliens. We
want all the women of our county to
feel that when they are in Brownsville
they are welcome at Red Cross Head
quarters.
Last week Mrs. Hess and Miss Mary
Thomas from Jones visited the Head
quarters and asked that an auxiliary
be founded in that vicinity to work
with our county chapter.
On Tuesday night community
meeting was held IN the Holly Grove
schol house at which time an auxiliary
to our Brownsville Red Cross Chap
ter was organized. Mrs. NJ. L. Davis,
vice chairman Of this chapter, and Mrs.
Ruth Hay, county organizer were
present and spoke on this great work.
Fourteen charter members Of this
auxiliary were enrolled, as follows
Mrs. H. P. Hudson, chairman; Mrs.
Fred Brantley, secretary; Mrs. E. B.
Boren, chairman of knitting; Mes
danes T. ]. Castellaw, Hardy Morgan,
Vernn Booth, Tom Lott, Abernathy,
Lula 0verton, F. B. Heff, Fred Carter,
Misses Mabel Marbury, Bessie Belts

close of the school at Wildwood to-

States is still such that we will remail
firm in our purpose Of upholding at all
odds American ideals against Prus-
sianism.
Our resources have all passed into
the hanus Of the experts and have
been properly safeguarded from waste;
our man-power has also passed into
the hands of the expert, been classified
and directed into the proper channel
for winning the war, 1t is no less ini-
portant to keep the will organized so
that the morale of our nation will q.
main the same. The most effective
way to accomplish this is by keeping
the people informed Of the truth, III
.eaJ necessity Of winning and the just
ice Of the cause.
The most effective organization tor
this purpose is the Four Minute Men.
The committee on public information
today has some thirty thousand volun-
teer speakers known as Four Minute
Men. The original purpose was to
have them appear-as they did-in
movies, and carry the authoritative
messages of the government. They
give the reasons for the war and pre-
sent the latest facts given out from
Washington.
This organization has proven so et-
fective that it has been decided to
broaden the scope Of their work and
carry the Four Minute messages into
the rural sections-at church serY-
ices, Sunday schools, schools, mass
meetings, political gatherings, fairs,
public sales, and at any ready-made
meeting that Four Minute Man can
reach.
In speaking Of this organization, the
president said that it was through
them that "the great body of our peo-
pie were aroused, informed and IN
spre9 to aetien."

whea actual solicitations for this no.
ole work vii begin The Four Min
ute Men have been instructed to begin
speaking for this cause May I3, one
week in advance of soliciting sub
seriptions.
These thirty thousand speakers are
reaching almost every town in the
country, but in some Of the rural COM
munities, there are few, if any, speak
ers. Every community would welcome
these short speeches in the theaters
and longer speeches elsewhere if they
could see how the work of the -Four
Minute Men progresses from week to
week, as each topic sent out. by the
government is discussed by them; how
they help to clear up situations and
how they help to drive home the facts.
The chairman of the Four Minute
Men Of Haywood county is A. A.
Sternberger, Brownsville.
We want every community in this
county well represented by Four-Min-
ute speakers If you have no Four
Minute speakers in your neighbor-
hood and would like to have them ad-
dress you on government topics at To-
cal gatherings, communicate with the
local chairman and he will supply you.
The Four Minute Men will aid III

ed by keeping them informer and in

BOLSHEVIki MAKING RUBlES AS
 FAST AS PRESSES CAN PRINT

WARSAW, Monday, Dec. 23.-(By the Associated Press) The flocks of released. Russian prisoners who are making their way homeward through Poland, all of whom appear to be tainted with bolshevism and are rec ognized as danger in this respect by the Polish authorities, are in fact al- ready causing much trouble by their lawlessness in their search for food.
 The bolsheviki are taking advantage of the penniless plight of these first thousands of released prisoners, whose total number is estimated at two mil lion. and have picked up several thou sand of them for their army by offer ing the men clothes, food and money, of the last of which there is plenty, since the bolsheviki control the print ing presses for the production of rubles. The first important arrests have just been made of bolshevik emissaries, who are arriving rom Russia with millions of rubles. for the purpose of agitation, and are spending several thousands of rubles daily. Four men were taken in custody on this oc- casion. They claimed they had the right to spend their money as freely as they pleased. They are declared to be for the most part Russian Jews, nearly all of them bearing passports issued by Count Kessler, who was ex- pelled from here a week ago, as rep resentative of the German government. They were sent here by Leon Trotzky | as members of an alleged Red Cross | delegation, claiming that their mission was the care of Russian prisoners.
 With the Russian rubles flowing SC freely, the Polish police are attempt

THREE WEEKS WILL ELAPSE BEFORE THE
 COUNCIL CONFINES

PARIS, Dec. 25-(By The Associated Press)-More than three weeks prob ably will elapse before the general peace conference assemblies. It is un- likely that any official statement will be issued in the meantime concerning the number of governments to be rep resented, or the tests to be applied to determine the right of applicants to participate.
 Technical experts attached to the delegation of the principal powers all ready have given much study to this subject. If negotiations to reach an aggreement on this point have not been undertaken already, it is, certain they will be immediately after President Wilson's return from London.
 Notwithstanding the indisposition of the British government to inject busi ness into Mir. Wilson's visit, it is pos sible that in his conferences with Pre- mier Lloyd George and Foreign Minis ter Balfour, the foundation may be laid for settlement of the question of repre- sentation which Mr. Wilson probably has discussed with Premier Clemen- ceau.
 Conditions which will confront the peace conference when it opens will not be unlike those maflling the opening of new congress in the United States, or national convention. In the first, the house clerk. determines the tenta- tive membership, and in the second the committee on credentials prepares tentative list of delegates At the peace conference delegates must be prepared to present adequate creden- | tials from their legislature, king, presl- dent or other executive authority.
 It is considered probable that several countries on the tentative list will be closely restricted at the beginning, when broad questions of policy will be
