Red Cross To Care For Amer.
ican Prisoners.

The American Red Cross has per-
fected plans to care for Americans
who may be captured and held in
German prison camps. By arrange
ment with the German government,
the Americad Red Cross committee
in Berne, Switzerland, sends each
American prisoner, every two weeks,
three 10 pound packages of food
consisting of meat, butter, jam, cof-
fee, salt, rice, dried fruits and soap,
Each receives two suits of clothes
year and all the underclothes, caps,
gloves ETC., he needs. The subsis-
tent stores are furnished by the
American government. In January
a sufficient quantity of supplies was
sent to Switzerland to care for 10, 700
American prisoners for period OF
six months. Arrangements also
have been made to transmit letters
and money to American prisoners
from their families in this country.
That is just one phase of Red
Cross activity. But it takes money
to keep these wheels turning. Hence
the appeal for a war furd of hun
dred million dollars. To help that
fund should be privilege to any
American, man, woman or child.

tie prints, colored reproductions of
paintings in the Chicago Art Insti-
tate. A collection. of American pot
terry, and "Niloak pottery from the

things. While Arkansas women are
deyoting more time to politics than
they will when they are more exper-
fenced they are conservative gene
rally speaking. They say they are
not suffergettes they are suffragists.
The most noticeable thing in regard
to suffrage in the convention was in
regard to the reelection of Miss Ba-
con first vice President. The Illi-
nois delegates cast 115 votes against
Miss Bacon because she is not
8 lifragist. Many of the Western
delegates were against Miss Bacon.
Tue little Mass, leader preserved
charming silence, she maintained
p oise that was delightfully."- naughty
AID she pursued the even tenor of
her way until after the clouds had
been cleared in the victory that had
worked itself out and then she made
a brief statement. These club wo-
men sent greetings to General Perish
ing and our allies and assured them
that American women are behind
American soldiers and the soldiers
of our allies. Mrs. Herbert Hoover
explained why the nation has been
put on ration basis during the war.
Mrs. Newton Baker wife of the Secre-
tary of War sang camp songs to
the convention. Kenneth S. Clark,
song leader for the war camps lead
these women as they iingled out
Liza Liza Jane" and whanged out
"Goodby ma, Goodby pa" and 9TH

a more detailed description of the
plans for war service, etc.
While entirely off the subject the
representative of The Vidette can
not close this article without re-
ference to the Brooks Memorial Art
Gallery in Overton park in Memphis
which she visited on her way to Hot
Springs. 1t is well worth the cost
of the trip to Memphis to see. Pa
rents of Iuka can teach their child
rem more of nature by visiting this
park than months of study can give
them. The building, of the Brooks
Memorial is of white marble and is
in itself a gem of art, enhanced by
the beautiful landscape gardening
around it. The pictures are con-
stantly changing. The sculpture is
wonderful.
On the second floor there is an ex-
hibit of etching by American artists.
Rare hand painted china and books
so old they seem to be written in
another language are under glass.

surrounded by tropical plants and

General Federation Women's
Clubs at Hot Springs.

The first official act Of the four
teenth Convention of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs at
Hot Springs was the oath taken by
the officers and members of the

vention hall. Gov. Brough, of Ark
ansas administered the oath. Mrs.
Cowles, of Los Angeles, president of
the Federation, officially proclaimed
this the war,serviee session" Gov
Brough made a ringing address of
welcome in behalf of the people of
Arkansas. He eloquently described
the genuine appreciation Arkansas
felt in entertaining the Federation of
Women's Clubs of America. He said
it was composed of the chicest rep
resentatives of women whose lives
have been conseerated to the spirit o
service. Among other things he said
The latch strings Of genuine hospi-
tality will be on the outside of our
hearts and homes for your entertain
ment and for the nine days that you
are our guests the state of Arkansas
will be absolutely yours. We feel
that in selecting Hot Springs as your
meeting place this year you have
eloquently illustrated your mottos Of
Unity in Diversity" for in this 9Th
wonder of the world with its famed
eternal springs, bubbling from the
foothills of the mountains at the
rate of approximately 100000 gal
Ions day, with its beautiful noun
tains and dells, its roads and paths
of scenic granduer and its shaded
lounging spots, you cultured ladies
will find Unity in Diversity" The
applause following Gov. Brough's s
inspiring address was long and en-
thusiastic. Mr.. l.. +. Sawyer, form
erly of Iuka delivered an address of
welcome on behalf of the Business
Mems League of Hot Springs and
entertained his hearers in pleasing
style. Addresses were made by Rev.
Waldrip, of the Hot Springs Central
Methodist Church, Mrs Thompson,
Pres. Arkansas Federation Womens
Clubs. Mrs. Harper presented Mrs.
Cowles with handsome desk and
chair, the gift of the club women of
Arkansas. The program concluded
by pageant and was taken part in
by Gov. Brough, American British
and French oflicersband a number oI
young ladies typifying the allied ma
tions. The convention opening was
in the Eastman dining room which
was decorated for the occasion. The
decorations were not the usual club
colors, they were the. red white and
blue of old Glory. Every where
there were American flags. The
musical numbers rendered so ex.
cellently by Miss Edna Thomas, oi
New York were patriotic numbers
of the Allied nations. Prof. Laffey
orchestra played the national anth
ems and the light patriotic numbers
Thru every address there ranged thu
true tinge of patriotism that will
stamp this convention as one of ser
vice. The morning sessions wer'
given to business and the afternoon
to conferences on National Chill
Welfare, Art, Home Economic, Con
servation, Public Health, Conserva

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
WHICH SHALL WIN.
By GERTRUDE TIMBEs.

Dl
Some people say that Germany
Shall whip in this great strife
But of course il never shall
AS long our boys hav estrength to fight.
Look just at that dear flag
As 1t floats so proudly in the air,
Would you allow it to be taken down
And German emblem placed there?
'Tis true we're in this war and in to stay,
Till victory is won,
Till the flag of freedom oer our land
Floats proudly in the
Till the soldiers who have left their homes
And loved ones for away;
Who have gone to face the raging Huns
May see grand victorious day
A day when freedom will be found
In every land and cline,
Such as has yet been found
In the corridors of time.
A day when the tents of war
Will pass away,
Like the clouds from heaven
On stormy day.
When the war will cease
With the setting of the sun,
And our Government shall
Hear no more the clashing of guns
A day when the strife is ended
And battle flags furled,
And freedoms holy banners
Are floating DER the world.
A day when it shall be rung again
The bell of Liberty,
And all the world shall echo round
OF peace JOY and victory.
day when shall hear the announcement
That these brave lads of ours
Have helped to place old Glory
On Berlns crumbling towers.
Then why do say that Germany
Shall whip in this great fight?
We're going to win, know will
For we're fighting for that is right
A cause that will free our dear country
The one we love so dear,
For there is other nation
Fit to rule us here
Then cheer up, all you brave boys,
And come to duty's CALL
Raise high our flag, old Glory
And never let it fall.
For he who sees the sparrow
And notes it's timely fall
Will not forget our bravest
Who heard their country's call.
