Death of Mr.. M. Gordon
Jones.

The sudden death of MIR. NJ. Gordon
Jones at Houston, Texas, on last
Wednesday evening cast a gloom over
Gordon as every one called him,
was much loved by every one here.
His genial smile and ready assistance
to the boys of Franklin had made
friends for him on every side. He
married Miss Leslie Collins when he
first came to Franklin. OF that union
there is one daughter, Miss Celeste.
Mr.. Jones has been working for the
Texas Oil Company for . number of
years, and has rapidly been promoted,
and was at the time of his death gen.
eral manager with headquarters at
Houston, Texas. His death came
suddenly-while alone in his apart
ments-his wife having come to Frank
lin to visit her mother.
Mr.. Jones' remains were brought
here yesterday morning, and wore
uried from the Episcopal Church, of
which he was 2 member, 1t s o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Franklin Lodge
No. 81, F. & A. NJ, took charge Of
the body at the grave and laid it to
rest with the beautiful ceremony of
the Masonic order. His wife, Mrs.
Leslie Collins Jones, his daughter, q
sister, Mrs. Glare Parkerson, of this
place, and four brothers. Rev. ]. w.
Jones, Chicago, ILL.,, Lloyd D. Jones,
South Dakota, r. s. Jones, U. S.
Marines in France. and Walker Jones,
Camp Beauregard, mourn his loss.
The Banner extends TO these bereaved
its sincere sympathy.

There Is much refinement In the
styles appearing in new blouses. both
for ordinary and dressy wear, because
they are simple. and depend upon fine
needlework decorations for their fin-
ish. The receipt for the artistic in

plicity is interesting in proportion to
exquisite finish and originality in the
design Of garments and their garni-
lures. Women who. are gifted with
Ane sense Of clothes are charmed with
the return Of some of the beautiful,
old-time ideas of decorative needle
work in the new, blouses, inspired by
work that was all done by hand in
those distant days. when many women
occupied much of their time with sew
ing. s,.s
But it happens that In modern ver-
sions of these old ideas machine work
often takes the place of handwork.
Even at that, considerable handwork In
basting as preparation for the machine
is necessary. Among the examples Of
this are; blouses In which small cord

A BADGE OF HONOR

A Liberty Loan button is a badge
of honor. Rightfully obtained it marks
the wearer as one who has performed
distinct, definite service to the
country.
Not all can fight, not all can work
directly for the Government; but in
buying a Liberty Loan Bond, or War
Savings Stamps, every American rem.
ders some service to the nation. It
has been put within the reach and
power of every citizen to aid the
United States financially; it is a poor
American who withholds support from
the Government, from our soldiers and
sailors fronting death on battlefields
and oceans.
Iron crosses to German soldiers,
and diamond orders exchanged be.
tween Turkish and German sovereigns
may be but the honors of atrocity.
But a Liberty Loan button, simple al
It is, signifies patriotic duty done
and Is an insignia of honor.

cynically criticising: 'When. my coun

EVERY WOMAN ]
CAN HELP NEXT
LIBERTY LOAN
Woman's S Committee for
Twelfth Federal Reserve
District to Form an
Organization
BY MRS. A. S. BALDWIN
chairman Woman's Liberty Loan
Committee, Twelfth Federal
Reserve District)

Now that we are actively in the wal
and our men are in the front line
trenches; are being killed; are being
gassed; are being MANNED for life, il
would seem that every woman in the
land should be in the front ranks OF
the civilian workers to help the men
win the war.
Each of us has her part to play
however small it may be, and whether
it be great or small it is of importance
that each shall perform her part tc
the utmost of her ability.
Some can buy Liberty Bonds, some
can influence others to buy. Perhaps
some can only help by conserving the
use of food and clothing and by econ
omizing in household expenditures
thus liberating and augmenting the
essentials which must be sent "ovel
there" for the use of our army an6
for the destitute civilian population Of
our allies.
In whatever way each woman o.
this Twelfth Federal Reserve District
can help, let her do her utmost tina,
we who are farthest from the front
may sustain our part of the struggle
and keep for ourselves and our chill
dren the blessings and privileges we
have, inherited, and thus make it pos
sible to win like blessings for the mil
lions who are now in actual bondage
We should not only save to help
but the great lesson to be learned also
is to do now without non-essentials and
to make sacrifices so that the labor
which produces what we consider te
be even essentials may be used .te
produce those things which are actu
ally essential for the support and
safety of those Who are carrying the
burden of this unprecedented struggle
for freedom and democracy.
The aim of the Woman's Liberty
Loan Committee is to form an organi
cation which shall make the woman
In every home in the land realize
these conditions and her RESPONSE
bility, that the message shall not
reach her only from one direction, but
from many, so that she shall be
brought to a full realization of hei
responsibility.
