Miss Jane A. Delano, Director Of the
Department of Nursing of the Ameri.
can Red Cross said:
Not only are we appealing to the
nurses to volunteer for this service,
but we also appeal to the public and to
the physicians employing these nurses
to aid in making it possible for them,
without too great financial sacrifice
on their part, to hold themselves In
readiness to respond to the call OF
their country We wish also to bring
to the attention of nurses the unusual
opportunity offered by the insurance
law enacted for the protection of our
army and navy which applies equally
to nurses assigned to duty as members
Of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
"a great responsibility rests upon
the nurses of the country. They are
the only group of women recognized
as part of the military establishment
and should be looked upon as the rep
resentatives of the womanhood OF
America at the front.
"Not only should the other women
of the country encourage nurses to
volunteer for service, but they should
make every effort possible to protect
the nurses holding themselves ready
for service and share with them the re
sponsibility and sacrifices necessary"

Playing the Man.

No matter what part he may be
playing in the strenuous game of life
as 1t Is presented today, the brother
hood man, above all others, must play
the man. These are times when the
best that is in us must be given to
"carry on" and the race run with
steadfastness and manly purpose.
AS Robert l.. Stevenson SO beautifully
puts it: whether we regard life as a
line leading to dead wall-a mere
bags end, as the French say-or
whether we think Of it as a vestibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our turn
and prepare our facilities for some
more noble destiny; whether we thun-
der in pulpit or pule in little esthetic
poetry books about Its vanity and brew.
ity, whether we look justly for years
of health and vigor, or are about to
mount into a bath chair. as a step to-
wards the hearse; in each and all Of
these views and situations there is but
one conclusion possible; that q man
should stop his ears against paraly.

MILITARY HOSPITALS
Surgeon General Asks Red Cross To
Supply 5000 Nurses

Surgeon General Gorgas of the
United States army has called upon
the American Red Cross to supply to
the Army Nurse Corps five thousand
nurses between now and the first of
June. These nurses are needed for
service in the military hospitals both
in this country and abroad. Although
the Red Cross has already supplied
nearly 1000 nurses as reserve for
the Army and Navy Nurse Corps since
the beginning Of the war, the impera-
tive need for greater army of nurses
grows daily as the war progresses.
According to a statement made by
Surgeon General Gorgas, it is estimat-
ed that there are between eighty and
ninety thousand registered nurses in
the United States. and that approx
mately thirty thousand will be need.

CANTEEN SERvICE FOR
SAMM!ES IN FRANCE
Red Cross To Serve Boys In The Front
Line Trenches

The American Red Cross has just
arranged to establish with the Ameri-
can troops in France a front line can
teen service similar to that through
which they have served more than
a million poi1ns with hot drinks during
the last six months, according to a
cable just received by the War Coun-
Gil from Major James H. Perkins, Red
Cross Commissioner to France.
This will consist of rolling canteens
stationed close behind the front line
trenches. There are now fifteen of
these operating behind the French
lines, from which fifty or more large
receptacles of hot drinks are sent for
ward daily, usually in the small hours
Of the morning. These drinks are
served free to the men going on or
coming off duty.
This service has proven Of such
value to the French that the Ameri-
can army has asked the Red Cross to
have this service directly in touch
with the medical relief stations near
est the front. The work is often done
under heavy shell fire and requires
men of great bravery and sympathy.
The American army officers are man.
ifesting a keen interest in having this
service at the disposal of the American
troops and have asked the Red Cross
to enlist substantial number of men
Of the highest caliber to undertake
this work. 1t will be performed at the
point nearest the firing line at which
civilians are permitted.

HELP FOR FARMERS
Effort to Secure Them Help and Furnish
Jobs for Idle People.

The United States Employment Ser
vices with headquarters for this state
located at Memphis, Is very desirons
of getting in closer touch with both
employers of help and the employees
themselves, and to have them ADVISED
of the facilities it affords. so there
will be a job tor every man and
a man tor every job.
It's most earnest desire in the exist
ing emergency is to get in close touch
with the tarm labor situation. From
all appearances, there is gong to be
great shortage of farm laLor in this
state, owing to the fact that large
number of the farmer boys have been
called to the colOrs, and the farmers
earnstly calling for men and boys to
:ake their places.
If man is out of employment or,
even If he has a desire to return to or
20 on the farm, If either married or
single, he should register at the above
named office.
You are informed that every post"
mast in the state of Tennessee has
been furnished with blank forms and
the employee should apply to his post
maste for a blank, fill same in and re-
turn to him, which will be forwarded
to the U. S. Employment Service at
Memphis and be given immediate at
tention there.
II farmer is IN need of help, he
too should make application to his
postmaster or rural carrier for blank
entitled: Application for Farm
Help fill out same to the extent of
how much help needed, whether mar
or single, end what wages are paid.
Of course, it is necessary that appli-
cation for farm laborers be placed as
far in advance of their actual need as
can be determined, thereby giving this
Office sucffiient time to secure the
needed help.
rhe services OF said Office are rem
dered without charge to either the en-
ployer or employee.

Here is q little story made public
by the United States Marine corps:
Fearing that the rigors of warfare
would be too much for her delicate son,

to the United States Marine corps

ing that the young man be dis

HOW TO ADDRESS MAIL
Intended for Our Boys in France and on
Board Our War Vessels.

Owing to the difficulties experienced
in delivering mail when careIessly ad-
dressed, postmasters are requested to
notify senders of mail to soldiers and
marines of the American Expeditionary
Forces broad that care should be taken
to write given names in full proceeding
or following the name of the addressee
with the necessary title, such as pri.
vate, segeant, lieutenant, etc.
The need of the full given name of
the addressee is apparent when it is ex-
planned that the War Department has a
card index file that may be consulted
relative to unbelievable mail OF the
troops, reference to which furnishes
no information when letter is ad-
dessed -. F. Smith" for instance,
and it cannot be determined whether it
is for James F. Smith. John F. Simth,
or jeremiah F. Smith.
In addition to the given name of the
addressee, and his title, there should
also he added the full name of the unit
or organization to which the addressee
is assigned, it being sufficient in the
way of further ADDRESS to add the
words american Expeditionary For
ces.
1t is particularly erjoined that let
ters, postcards and packages be not
addressed with lead pencil, and that
every piece of mail matter bear the
name and address of the sender, so
that in case of nondeliveiy letters may
be promptly returned to the senders.
The long transit taken by the mail
before it reaches the delivery points
abroad calls tor the use of enve lopes
that are substantially made as exper-
ence has shown that well made envel-
opes retain clear and distinct addresses
written thereon. while on poor envel-
opes it becomes indistinct.
Reports continue to be received to
Indicate that packages reach the
United States post offices in Europe in
,uch condition that repacklng has
frequently to be undertaken before
delivery can be effected. Senders
should use heavy weight paper, can
,ass or cloth as wrapping for packages
I'D when canvass OF c,oth 10 employed
he address should be written on a
'hippIng tag with the name of the
epder on the reverse side.

Several Deals Closed and Others Pend
ing Among Our People.

Within the past few days and in the
immediate future there has been and
will be numerous transfers of home
properties in this. community, no less
than eight or ten families will move
and seversl sales are either closed or
pending.
The first sale that, tiguratively speak
ing, started the ball rolling was the
transfer of C. G. Blacks residence to
General ]. K. Mitchell. A few years
ago General Mitchell bought the farm
in the edge OF town owned by {. T..
Black and since that time Mr.. Mitchell
has bsen deslrous of owning the Black
residence. He finally acquired it last
week at a good figure. AS soon as Mr..
Black moves, which will be within a
few days, Mr.. Mitchell and mother
will occupy the Black residence.
C. &. Black had expected to secure
the j. h. Taylor home butit seems
that DR.. E. W. Mitchell has secured
that and Mr.. Black is now uncertain
where he will be able to secure resi-
dene.
AS a result of the purchase of the
Black residence, General Mitchell has
sold his residence on Prospect Hill to
DR.. w. A. Reed, who wiH move in as
soon as Mr.. Mitchell vacates.
A few weeks ago J. L. Horn pur-
chased the Hodges property, where DR..
Reed now resides, and wlt move there
as soon as DIR. Reed vacates.
Rev. w. G. Martin whI move to the
J. T. Horn residence, from the M. +.
Parsonage, which has been purchased
by M. l.. Patton. MIR. and Mrs. Patton
will move from their cottage on Stan
ley steer to the parsonage as soon AS
the parsonage is empty
Ben Smith has purchased the M. l..
Patton cottage and VIII move there
soon.
Last week John Davis moved from
the Jas. Smith farm to ths Mullineaux
property in the rear of the Reed 4
Smith store. VIM. Dayton moved to
the Smith farm and Chas. Tabor moved
from the Smith farm to farm near
Obed River, owned by Bandy Smith
and Baxter Soutnard.
j. K. Taylor will go to Nashville this
week looking for job at the Hadley
Bend plant. He does not intend 10 re-
main away permanently, but will fol-
low his trade as a carpenter until the
war Is over and then expects to pur-
chase small farm near here and To-
cate. Mr.. Taylor owns farm OF
about zoo acres east of town that he is
10 sell at once, as the deal is
now under way.
DR.. E. w. Mitchell, who has been
of the Lyons View
Asylum, at Knoxville, for TWO years,
resigned a short time age, and he and
wife arrived Mon ay to make their
iona here permanently.

FARMERS RIGHTS
STAkED IN WAR
"Freedom OF Seas" Will Keep Europ-
can Markets Open To Ameri-
can Producers

Southern farmers have as much at
stake in this war as any other Ameri-
cans.-It is their war
We are lighting for the freedom
of the seas'-the farmers right to sell
cotton, corn, wheat, rice, ETC., abroad.
The determination of the United
States to send supplies and food to the
Allies sent the price of cotton to 30
cents and above, and put the price Of
food crop up to the highest figure in
fifty years.
If the Allies win this war American
farmers always tan find ready mar
ket in Europe for their products. Thou
sands of ships are being built to send
the crops abroad after the war. But
to invade this country just as it over
ran Belgium Evidence in the hands
of government officials proves this
statement. Southern farmers are en-
joying the benefit of their crops now.
but If Germany invades this country
their wives and daughters will be
forced to raise crops for Germany
just as Belgian and French women
and children are forced in the fields
to feed the German army. Their land
Will be devastated just as Belgian
farms have been-their land then will
be used to feed Germany and their
crops will bring them nothing.
Farmers Depended Upon
The government always has depend !
ed upon the Southern farmer to do
his duty, whether to raise more food.
fight or finance. They have been ex
empted from fighting thus far to en-.
able them to raise more food, and
they have received the highest prices
for their products. Now the govern.
ment wants the farmer to help finance
the war. 1t is just as much his duty
to help finance the war as it is to raise
food.
The third Liberty Loan will soon be
1oated It is the farmers duty to in.
vest as much money as they can in
.hese United States government
ponds. There is nothing hard to un.
lerstand about a United States gov
srnment bond. You merely subscribe
through your banker and the govern
nent pays you interest on the invest
nent. giving you the wealth Of the
whole country as security. Liberty ,
'onds are as sound as a dollar.

BEST RESULTS FROM FURNACE
Slowly. While Smaller One Con-
sumes a Little Fuel Rapidly.

The editor of coal magazine In
the American Magazine tells how 10
use your coal. He says:
"a house furnace works best when
a lot Of coal is burning slowly in il.
's1'o illustrate: / have a seven
room house. In il is a'furnace with
fire pot that is but 10 inches across
and about IL inches deep. II should
be "a or 70 inches across, and is TO
20 inches deep. Because that fur
mace is too small | have to shovel
coal four TO six times day. Twice
day is enough. To have installed
the larger furnace when the house
was built would have cost but $50
more. 1t costs me 500 a year more
than necessary TO run the small one.
That is the difference between burn
ing a little coal fast and burning
lot Of il slowly.
Sin my furnace the hot water is
carried away from my boiler by inch
snd-a-half pipes They should have
been two and half inches. Far less
effort is required to force water
through big pipe than little
one. When small pipes are used al
unnecessary amount Of the power in
the coal is used to force the water
through small pipes. That is, the
heat is used up in the basement in
pumping water through the pipes in
stead Of being used in the living
rooms to give heat"
