BABY BEEF CLUB.

10 the Members:
1t has been arranged by the differ
ent counties in the contest to start
March LIST. The change from Feb.
10Th to March LIST was made on ac-
count of the bad weather. A large
number of the counties are taking up
this work and among them is our old
friend, Lee county. We are alleging
to get busy this time and show those
Lee county boys and girls what we
can do and where they belong.
There will be from % to 40 boys and
girls in the Tazewcll Club and indica-
tions are that it will be more profit
able than ever before and the prizes
greater than ever offered in the past.
A better trip and greater time is also
being planned.
AS the time for beginning is close
at hand each boy should have his
calf or get it at once and begin civ
ing it special attention. five are to
win we must make good beginning
and keep it up The calf must be
one which was less than ~ months
old on Jan. LIST 1913 and should be
over months. On the first day of
March each calf must be weighed in
the presence of two disinterested wit
nesscs. 1t must be weighed between
z and Q Il. m, after being fed. The
rules specify they must be fed before
weighing Lets follow the rules and
be honest but do our level best to win.
Beginning with the first day of March
all grain must be carefully weighed
or measured and roughage account
ed for. For grain | am going to adj
wise each boy to use ration of equal
parts of oats, shell corn and bran. 1t
will be we'll to weigh out so, rs, or 100
pounds of each and mix together, at
one time, and put same in a tight we'll
covered individual feed box. In this
way it is not necessary to weigh feed
each day. Begin by feeding 3 TO 5
pounds of the mixture and gradually
increase to all the calf will clean up
but be careful to increase slowly.
Where two or three club calves are
being fed together they may all be
fed in the same trough and each one
charged with equal part of the feed
If it can be arranged the calf will do
best on wheat pasture just now
Remember to weigh the calf on the
morning of March 1st and in presence
! of two disinterested witnesses.
shall be around to see you as soon as
possible after the contest starts. With
best wishes l am, Yours truly,

The Red Cross Does Not Talk-It
Acts.
(By Vice Admiral Benson. of the
French Navy).

(By Vice Admiral Benson. of the
French Navy.
On these occasions which describ-
cd to you | saw only little OF the
American life; but what | did see
very clearly, and what the whole
world has seen, is Ike magnificent
spirit of great people throwing it,
self into the strife n the command Of
its chief-eyen though its own inter
ests were not directly touchcd-on
behalf of n friendly people who only
ask for peace and the chance TO work
and who even had, some years before,
tried to diminish the size of their
own army; and who were unjustly at
tackled by predatory nation eager
to seize the riches of others and to
destroy them by unspcakable tyranny
and TO nnnihilate them in order to
take their place in the sun.
And here l am taking part in n
manifestation of the charity of this
same American people. Their SOL
dlsrs now pour out their blood, for it
was not enough for them to throw
their gold in ofurnace. They want to
come to help Of the victims of the
war, and in this work which they
have undertaken we find in all their
common sense and ingenuity. What
the American Red Cross is doing
you know as we'll rs l do; there is no
need of talking about it. 1t does not
talk-it acts.
1t spreads its benefits around arous-
ing admiration throughout France.
Future centuries can say that if this
war has shown us barbarity in its
most horrible form, it has also shown
us charity in its greatest beauty.

RED CROSS NEWS
SURGICAL DRESSINGS.
A Song of the Red Cross Workers.

(By Amelia Jospehine Burr, in the
Southern Womans Magazinc).
Interminable folds of gauze
For those we shall never see.
Remember whine your fingers pause,
That every drop of blood to stain
This witness, falls for you and me.
Part of the price that keeps us free
To serve our own, that keeps us clean
From shame that other women know.
oh saviors we have never seen,
Forgive US that we arc so slow!
God-if that blood should cry in vain
And we have let our moment go
Miss Jane Delano, chairman of the
National Committee on Nursing Ser
vice, gave out the following state
ment at IL, national headquarters of
the American Red Cross today:
Nurses, and more nurses, if Amer
lea is to win the war, is the cry
of the nation to her women today.
There are at presen tabout 1000 of
the nursesin active service. And
the first contingent of the Ameri-
can army is scarcely afield. Men arc
being called to the colors by the hun
dreds of thousands. Whether they
will be protected and cared for when
sick or wounded dcpneds on whether
American women are willing 70 make
The same sacrifices their brothers are
making. Failing in this they will have
done lncalculable harm to the cliicien-
cy and morale Of our troops.
"'That the women are not respond
ing today to the call as they should
isl not theat thy are slackcrs, or I'M
willing to serve, but because they do
not realize the vital need Of the coun-
try for their work.

The LoWlY Cin6er.

Long despised as waste product,
the humble cinder is coming into its
own. For years cinders were anathe-
matized because the only purpose they
seemed to fill was to get into ones
eye. bat with the widespread use Of
icement, cirdcrs came into use as a
base for cement sidewalks, cellar bot
toms, etc. AS porous material to
carry wafer away from a cellar few
feet Of cinders placed around the foot
fngs MAKE excellent drainage, while as
n fill for holding wooden sleepers in
place in concrete, cinders mixed with
cement make light, firm bond. As a
base for~driveways, cinders, when wa
ter-bound, and rolled or tlmped, make
a firm foundation.

PITH OF THE
w A r N z w S

The enemy now holds tiny slice of
France, and this is being reclaimed
at accelerated speed.
On the whole 1870 mile front, from just
north of the Belgian border to east
of the Mouse river, ground was
gained rapidly. The Germans aban-
doned important material and lost
many men as prisoners.
Haig's men continued to progress
astride the Franco-BeIgian border,
the disorganized foe making no
stand of Importance.
The British casualties for the week
ending on November 7 amounted to
27,64e.
Struggling forward, despite the stiffen-
ed resistance of fresh enemy troops,
Fershine's men swung forward
through the Bar valley. They reach
ed ~Chemery, cutting another rail-
road feeding the German forces fac
ing Petain's armies on the farther
western front.
The line of the Meuse, on which the
enemy had hoped to stand before
Foch's blows, has been turned by
the American advance, and the Ger
man armie1 will have to fall back to
the Rhine to find new firm defensss,
according to correspondent at the
front.
