DIDN'T ANSWER
ALREADY IN ARMY

The name of William Lewis Benner
Of Windsorvile appeared in the list
given out of those in this district who
had not made answer to their ques-
tionnaires The reason seems good in
his case, very good-for Benner on
June 4 last enlisted in the 9TH United
States Engineers and is now stationed
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. That is
why he didn't answer the question
naire, which his family says was sent
to Amherst street, this city, even
though he had personally visited the
board and notified it Of his enlistment.
A brother, Myles Benner, also of
Windsorrille, enlisted on the same day
with William in the eth u. S. Engi-
neers. He has been transferred to the
40th United States Infantry and is sta
toned at Fort Riley, Kansas.
A third brother called at the Journal
office Wednesday morning and re-
questod that this statment be made, to
clear the record of his brother, who
has for months been doing his bit.

One Of the gems that are used ex

One Of the gems that are used eX-
tensively in finger rings and which
have become so scarce on account or
the great war that they have advanced
in price, said an Augusta jeweler the
other day, is the garnet, which when
cut in a certain form is known as a
carbuncle He then went on to say
that the stone is known as carbuncfe
when it is cut in an oval shape and
with an oval surface, which form of
cutting is done in Germany exclusively,
but the war has put an end to this in
dustry for the time being, hence the
scarcity of carbuncles. Garnets are
common in almost any part Of America,
but the American form of cutting IS
known as "faceted.'' or having faces
upon it. being Of the same style as that
in which diamonds are cut, which style
puts more life in the stone than when
1t is cut in the carbuncle shape. The
reason that the garnets are not cut in
the Carbuncle form in America Is said
to be because the Germans can cut that
shape much more cheaply than II can
be done in America, but some day the
Americans will get on to the method
and then the Germans will lose thei
monopoly OF that style OF cutting.

ter. which is self explanatory, inter
esting and significant:
Dear Madam:
I ask you to give all the pub
LEFTY you can to the following res
olution Of the Council of National
Defense:
THE Council of National De-
Tense desires to inform the people
of the country that abundant food
is supplied to the soldiers and sail
ors in the camps and environments.
and that the sending of food to
these men by their friends and fam
lilies is rot in any respect neces-
sary; that the aggregate quantity
of food thus privately sent is enor-
nous, and that much of it, having
been conveyed long distances in
heated express or mail cars, is
more or less spoiled, and eonSe-
quently injurious to the health Of
the men. Therefore, in the inter
est of the conservation of food
and also the health of the men,
the CoIncil of National Defense
requests the public to discontinue
the sending of foodstuffs to the
camps"
Very truly yours,

A RED CROSS FORCE

The following is taken from the

to the many interested in Red Cross
work in this section as well as to the
legion of friends of Mr.. Coleman, a
splendid resident of this city:
Any statement that Labor and
Capital cannot work in harmony is
proven as false by the action of the
Coleman Mining Company and it's
employees last week in the effort of
the Red Cross Chapter of Pineville
to secure fifteen hundred new men,
bers in and around Pineville.

in number, and the check for this
Mrs. R. f. Samuels, treasurer of the
local Red Cross Chapter, and placed
to the credit of the Red Cross fund
in the bank.
So far as we know the employees
of the Coleman Mining Company are
the first in the State on the Honor
Roll that is being published showing
that every employee is a member of
the Red Cross Society. We take off
our hat to the miners of Fox Ridge
for their loyal action and would like
all other mining camps of Bell coun-
ty to follow their example, and if
there is another company in the
county with a record as good as this
one we would like to know about it.
At meeting of the miners of this
company, held on Thursday night,
DECEMBER goth, not a single dissent
ing vote vas cast on the proposition
to join the Red Cross, and again we
say three cheers for the Fox Ridge
miners.
