A SCORE OF REASONS
FOR THE RED CROSS
It Is Playing a Big Part In the
War for Democracy.

What does It mean to you to know
that your America Red Cross:
10 supporting $1,000 French children.
Sends supplies to 8.42S French mill
tary hospitalA
Provides 1000 French hospitals with
surgical dressings.
ID, operating 30 canteens at the front
line.
ID operating six other canteens at
French railway functions, serving
$4,000 French soldiers day.
Operates a movable hospital In four
units accommodating 1000 men.
L. operating children's refuge in one
part Of the war zone, and In another
q medical center and travelling dis.
pensary. both capable Of accommo-
dating more than 1000 children.
Has opened a long chain Of ware.
houses stocked with hospital sup.
plies, food, soldiers comforts, to.
bacco, blankets, ETC., all the way
from the seaboard to the Swiss
frontier.
Has warehouse capacity for 100000
tons.
Has 400 motor cars and operat' seven
garages, making all repairs.
Has shipped 48 freight car loads Of
assorted supplies to Italy from
France within two weeks after It
began operating In the former coun.
try.
Had battery Of motor ambulances
at the Piave front four days after
the United States declared war on
Austria.
Started hundred different activities
In Italy at the time that nation was
In Its most critical condition.
Has established five hospitals In Eng
land and operates a workshop for
hospital supplies employing 1000
women.
And that 10000 cases Of supplies
have been received at the Paris
headquarters Of the American Red
Cross from your various chapters
scattered throughout the United
States.
What does all this mean to youi
And l have told you but a fraction Of
the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing 1t means that without
this ceaseless, heroic work Of the
American Red Cross, we could never
win this war.
Without your Red Cross thousands
In Rumania would have starved to
death.
Without your Red Cross Italy would
never have realized that powerful sup
port Of the United States In the hour
of need.
without your Red Cross thousands
of French soldiers now gallantly fight.
ing for you at the front would have
died Of wounds, exposure and lack Of
food.
But now We must all redouble our
efforts and sacrifices for our Red Cross
because-a million mothers sons are
going to carry the stars and stripes
to tho greatest victory God has ever
given to men fighting for honor and
liberty.
With the help Of your Red Crosa
your boy will w:n.

The nsreism Of Mercy.

There is no greater heroism
than the heroism OF m ercy.
There is no truer bravery than
the bravery Of tenderness. Outof
the crash OF nation against na-
tion arises a Christ like sympa-
thy, and the ensignia OF it's ten
derness is its cross Of red. 1t is
the only remaining glow of a
Christian hope. 1t is religion un-
der shell fire. 1t is q sigh set to
the music of sympathetic action.
If a man who speaks the truth
should say to you with the use
of five dollars you can save a
useful life, alleviate a hundred
nights of pain," you wouldgrant
him the money. You would not
feel that you had lost but gain
ed.
This is what the Red Cross
says to you: "Give Of your safe
and secure substance and | will
sooth pain. l will gather up men,
heroes. who have been shot to
earth, and housing them | will
nurse them back to life. For my.
self ask no recompense. My re.
ward is my conscience. My ap-
plause is restoring man to is
family"
Hearing these words and feel
ing that they are true, would
you hesitate to open your purse,
whose contents were gathered in
times of peace?
The Red Cross appeals to you
personally. To you it opens it's
merciful heart and begs you for
assistance. The cutting down of
one luxury a day would mean q
soothing tenderness on the red
fields of France. .-Opie Read.

Right Treatment for Tellsssee Stacker.

The Statesville Landm q rk
prints the following from the
Sevlersville, Tenn indicator,
which shows how slackers are
treated in that state:
"Some days ago a wealthy
farmer in east Tennessee, whose
two sons had been practically
exempted from military service
on account of their agricultural
Industries, refused to buy Liber-
ty BONDS. The chairman of his
local exemption beard went to
call on him and asked why he
had refused. The man replied
that he was getting 10 per cent
for his money and could not of.
ford to collect it and buy the
government bonds. His chair
man told him that hereafter be
would find his sons in Class No.
la; that he was going to see to
it that they were placed in that
class.
"The man had shown his han'.
The exemption board refused to
let him pay for $4,000 iu bonds
and let his SONS remain IN the de-
ferred class. They told him that
he had exposed himself aud his
feelings toward his government
and that they would under no
circumstances reconsider their
action.
"Every man owes bis govern
ment the same loyal service aud
it your sons are exempted, you
had better lend your money to
help support the Others boys
who are there"

vrginias New Dog Law.
Progressive Farmer.

1ne virginia Legislature mas
just enacted a new dog law that
will interest Progressive Farm.
or readers all over the South, 1t
provides that every person hav-
ing one or more dogs six months
old or over shall pay u yearly
tax of 81 each on males and
spayed females and SO each on
unspayed females. In the case OF
those having kennels, a yearly
tax OF $40 may be paid which al
lows the keeping of II dogs for
personal use; or by paying a tax
Of SIS as many dogs may be
kept as wished for personal use
or in training.
The license year runsfrom Feb
ruary to February and the law
provides that all dogs shall be
listed forthwith with the county
commissioners OF revenue. In
case any dog becomes of taxable
age or comes into the hands OF q
citizen alter after February l of
any year, the license tax shall be
paid Immediately. When the tax
is paid on a dog, a collar tag is
issued by the state which must
be worn by the dog at all times.
1t is also unlawful for a dog to
run at large at night without q
muzzle or under the direct con.
troll OF the owner or some respon-
sible person. The enforcement of
the law is largely 10 the hands OF
game wardens and it is the duty
o. these officers to warn dog.Own.
erS (if they be known) when their
dogs run at large at night un-
muzzled or in the day without a
tag; and (1) if a warden sees the
same dog at large a second time,
or (2) the owner of the dog is un.
known to him on the first occa.
sion, or (3) the dog is chasing
domestic ANIMALS or fowls, it is
his duty to kill it.
Any person having stock or
fowls killed or injured by a dog
is entitled to receive compensa-
ton therefor "in the manner al.
ready :provided by law" (Which
we assume IL the assessed value
and "s' all recover from the own
er of the dog the difference be
tween the assessed value and thu
full value OF the stock"
Any person violating this Law
will he called to trial and if con
victed will be fined not less thar
IS nor more than 500, in addi
tion to paying the cost If tn,
