 Patriotism is not measured by hallooing for the flag, but by do- ing our part. We heard of a little girl, living not far from the Brinkley post office, asking for Red Cross membership for a Christmas present. A Brinkley lass on the northside. earning a dollar, gave it to the Red Cross membership drive instead of us- ing it for herself. A woman picked cotton that she might earn a dollar to pay for a mem- bership in the Red Cross.
 755 membership names were reported by the chairman to the county chairman, the result of the late membership drive by the Red Cross in Brinkley. A fine record when all odds were against active work.

CHANGES Al THE
 BRINKLFY BANKS
Roth Institutions Make Good Showings and Both Have Surprises for the Public in
 Chan eeS
 Made.

Both of the Brinkley banks held their annual meetings on Tuesday and both had splendid
 showings, nice dividens to pay
 and fat sums added to the sur plus,
 AT THE BANK OF BRINKLEY
 There was no change in the
 Board of directors at this splen-
 did institution, but the changes
 came in the election of MT. Clyde c. Woodfln as cashier in lieu of
 F. L. Majors who resigned to be-
 come a State Bank examiner,
 and the election of MT. J. L.
 Garrett, of Kenton, Tenn. to the
 place of Assistant Cashier in lieu of Sam B. Babb who recent
 ly resigned to go into the war
 
 service.
 The past year has proven
 possibly the most profitable year
 in the banks history. An 8 per
 cent dividen was paid to the
 stockholders in addition to this | 5 per cent was put into the sur
 plus fund and about $2O00 to
 undivided profits. Cashier Ma jor who has seen the deposits
 advance during the pasta years

 ors. c. G. Woodfn, Cashier. J. L. Garrett, Asst. Cashier. The new cashier, Clyde G. Woodfn is Brinkley man who has been at Clarendon for several
 years having been County Treas urer for four years, and having been connected with the Bank of Clarendon for the past two years. He was preparing to re-enter politics and make the race for County and Probate Clerk when prevailed upon to accept this
 place. He is son of our esteem ed townsman MT. E. l.. Woodfin,
 and is a splendid young man
 with host of friends.
 The new Assistant Cashier
 Mir. J. L. Garrett comes from
 the 1st. National Bank of Ken

 AT THE MONROE COUNTY BANK Cashier Jas. s. Mitchell re- ported the net earnings for 1917
 10 be l2 per cent. 8 per cent of which was paid to the Stock
 holders and the remainder, bringing the surplus up to $4600. The deposits were shown to be s226, 900. %.
 The change in the officials and oirectorate of this, the first
 banking institution ever in Mon-
 roe County caused just a bit of
 surprise in business circles and
 brings to mind some of it's history as a local institution. This bank was founded back in the seven- ues by Maj. Wm. Black who was

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Court to Decide Party
Lines in Philadelphia

The first test of whether Philadel-
phia voters who voted the Town
Meeting party ticket last November
can sign nominating papers for a
candidate for a Republican nomina-
ton came to-day when exceptions
were filed to the nominating petition
of Regnault Johnson, Twenty-first
legislative Philadelphia district, who
seeks Republican honors. The objec-
tions were filed by Andrew G.. Doyle,
JS47 Chancellor street, Philadelphia,
who contends that 33 of the 1l6
signers on Johnson's petitions voted
the Town Meeting ticket and there
fore are not eligible to sign Repub-
lican papers. Johnson filed an an
swer denying that the thirty-three by
voting the Town Meeting ticket lost
rights as Republicans, contending
that the Town Meeting is only a
county party. while he is a candidate
for "a state legislative office. He holds
that the court can only decide by the
party registration of the men in
question. The case will be heard on
Monday. April S.
