Under the skies that are ever so
blue.
Long days of toll or nights full of
dreaming,
There is ever something for each
one to do.
There is never day but somehow
is Reaching
A silent Lesson for good or for bad;
Always u heart-throb ever outreach-
ing.
Somewhere a heart that is aching
or glad.
Today in our beloved America
there are many thousands of hearts
that are burdened, and eyes dimmed
by tears and many vacant chairs in
our houses. We are all called to
the colors by the spirit OF America.
BY the soul OF civilization, and ours
is the privilege OF sacrificing. serv-
ing and loving. Our prayers are that
our work today Is acting on tomor-
rev to the end that tomorrow may
see the sun rise on everlasting and
eternal peace to the world And mo-
where today are the people more
loyal and sacrificing than they are
in Mariana and Lee county. We
are doing all in our power to help
win this war. and there Is no such
word as fail, for America shall never
perish or be ruled by foreign foe.
Never shall our splendid young
American manhood perish until earth
shall be consumed.
We are turning out splendid work
every day in our w0rkrooms. We
now have about four hundred hospital
supplies completed, and hope to be.
able to make another shipment on
the 18th of March. ! Will ask all
the ladies' who are knitting and all
those. who have unfinished garments,
to please send them in on or before
that time. as all our shipments go
overseas and must be packed and
tied up in packages OF fives and tens,
and each package labeled, and. 1t
takes time to do this work. am
sure 1t will be pleasure to all the
ladies' of our chapter throughout the
county to read the following letters
received from the Southwestern Di-
vision:
American Red Cross. Southwestern
Division.
