has also been realized $50,00O to assist disabled soldiers and sailors. s10.000 to help blinded ones, similar sum for a navy employment agency for disabled tars. $11,250 for the Star and Garter fund.-" for totally disabled men and S1.110 for other patriotic ends. In all, that original silver thimble and it's me tallic comrades in arms have produced to date the impressive sum of $165.- 900. The story of the silver thimble fund.-" as it is called, sounds like a fairy tale. but it is cold fact, as you will see
 The woman who started it, nearly three years ago. is Miss H. E. Hope Clark, a London nurse. She lives in Wimbledon, one of the suburbs of this metropolis. Miss Hope Clark had an old silver thimble, full of holes. and. one day was on the point of throwing it away. That was in June, 1915. Sud- denly it occurred to her that the silver of which the thimble was composed probably was worth something. Stimuli taneously came the brain wave that undoubtedly there were many other women in the British Isles with use | less, unwanted old silver thimbles and that undoubtedly most of them would be willing to donate those thimbles to be turned into money to help their country in her biggest fight. That was how the silver thimble fund" came into being.

KESRULESFOR. USE IF SUGAR IN
 PRESENT CRISIS
Food Administration Off
 cials Issue Restrictions Which, If Followed, Will M Ike Ration A mpleI

A definite program for sugar saving in the households of Arizona during the present serious sugar shortage, was issued yesterday by Timothy A. Riordan, federal food administrator for Arizona. If these restrictions are fol- the new two-pound per person allow ance, effective August 1. will be suff cient for all her ordinary table and cooking needs. it was stated.
 1. Do not use more than one level teaspoonful of sugar or it's equivalent in lump form for all purposes for each adult member of the household for each meal.
 2 Do not allow children to help themselves; serve them just enough to sweeten their fruits or cereals.
 3. Substitute honey, sirups and molasses in cooking and baking.
 4. Use Liberty candies made of sirups, glucose, and honey instead of the more expensive sweets and bon bonS.
 Watch Sugar Bowl
 Unless the sugar bowl is carefully watched during the next few months, V said MT Riordan, the great American sugar barrel will be empty before new stocks can arrive
 Tt is necessary to conserve sugar during these canning months,'' he ad- ded, for the following reasons:
 We need the ships which bring su- gar from a distance to this country for carrying men and supplies to Europe.
 Some of the countries closest to us raising sugar have a small yield this year.
 Our own domestic sugar crop is smaller than usual. "The submarines have sunk. 50,000,- 900 pounds of sugar during the last few weeks.
 Two Pounds Each "The available supply of sugar until the first of the year has been figured and the two- pound allowance is based on this figure, with the expectation that there will be a slight surplus fol canning"
 The food administrator again called attention to the fact that dealers arc not permitted to sell sugar for canning purposes except on permits issued by the county food administrator or his authorized deputy.

 Have you ever thought that our enemy is attacking us, not only in Eu- rope, but at home? Have you realized that his especial trickery consists in seeking to make men disloyal here in our own community? Have you tried to discover and suppress the enemy's work here in the peaceful region of our own homes? Since your appointed task is to act as the defenders of our coun- try, why wait until you are called to camp? Your time for that has come already. BEGIN NOW
 Selected Men
 From now on, regard yourselves as a selected fraternity of active patriots Strengthen those who are weak. En- courage those who are timid. Inspire the indifferent. Inform the ignorant. search out the slackers. Begin now to make every one of you into a good sol- dier, capable defender of our coun- try, in spirit, in knowledge and in physical fitness.
 There never was war to which men could give themselves with greater confidence and devotion. There never was time when a man could be more desirous to be known as soldier. There never will be a century in the worlds history in which a mans fam fly, his townsmen, and his country men. will be prouder to point him out as one of THEIR men-one of the men who had the honor of being in the army.
 This is YOUR war. You are going to win it by what you are-good Ameri- cans and good soldiers. You are good Americans already. It will take some time to make good soldiers out of you The sooner you start, the sooner you will arrive. BEGIN NOW.

WOMAN EVICTED
 WITH HER "A CATS
(New York JournaD

Following a last unsuccessful at tempt to occupy her family home in Garvey's Point, l.. l., from which she was evicted with her twenty four cats and other belongings. Miss Mary Ellen Mackenzie, once a travel lecturer is being sheltered by friends in Glen Cove.
 Three deputy sheriffs who had exc cuted the dispossession warrant for John $. Appleby, millionaire claimant 10 the property, held the fort against Miss Mackenzie and her sympathizers.
 Although she had been born in the house, and her ancestors had lived there before her, they would not allow her to put her foot inside the doorway.
 Most of the time since the eviction. when she had not been in New York vainly appealing to lawyers, Miss Mackenzie had been camping in the road among her rare old mahogany furniture. Wealthy collectors have driven miles in the past to see it. Miss Mackenzie was induced last year to sell a few pieces for $5,000, but enough was left to make the house look like a we'll stocked museum of antiques.
 The news that her famous furniture, most of it brought from Scotland by her ancestors and some of it more than two hundred years old, was piled in the highway brought spectators in their motor cars from all parts of Long Island
 They expressed much sympathy for Miss Mackenzie, and many of them were eager to pay fancy prices for a Sheratonn sideboard or a Chippendale secretary. But despite her forlorn sit uation, the former mistress of the Gar Ney farmhouse refused to part with any more of her heirlooms.
 She had passed at least one night sleeping on a pile of her rare old rugs under the sky. with faithful remnant of her domestic pets smuggling around her before she was given a refuge.
 Kind hearted neighbors offered Miss Mackenzie storage room for her furni- turc. and most of it was distributed ir homes

 INJURY CLAIMS
No more Big Contract Fees
 for Lawyers in Damage
 Suits Against Railroads According to Federal Act

recent interpretation of the fed eral control act with respect to per sonal injury claims will not fill with joy the hearts of the ambulance chas- CTS" that class of lawyers which make a business of prosecuting such cases for a division of the spells. When the roads were taken over by the govern ment a question arose as to whether damage suits against them for per sonal injury could be maintained.
 The interpretation by John Barton Payne of the division of law of the railroad administration holds that such damage suits may be brought. but that judgments against the railroads may not be satisfied by levy on the roads. It will be the business of Di- rector McAdoo to provide for the pay ment of Judgments, and before he makes such provision he will examine into the merits of the claims even after Judgment has been obtained.
 Only Reasonable Fee
 In the matter of suits undertaken on a contingent fee basis, the contract will be subject to supervision by the administration. The attorney prose- cutting the case will be allowed only. a reasonable fee, whatever may be his
 
 The following is copy of the in depreciation received yesterday by At torney J. c. Forest, local counsel for the Southern Pacific:
 The federal control act contemplates that suits for personal injuries may be brought as heretofore, but provides that executions may not be levied on the property of the carrier while in the possession of the government. This means that while a judgment may be recovered. it devolves upon the direc tor general to provide for payment, and this places upon him the respon Slbllity of considering the merits of the claims and the persons to- whom pay ment is made.
 Justice Is Desire It is the desire of the director gen. eral that justice shall be done to all employees who are injured in the dis charge of their duties. This does not mean that verdicts based upon prej- | udice or passion shall be paid or that large sums shall be paid by the gov ernment to attorneys and solicitors who have no claim upon the govern ment. The right is reserved to con- sider the merits in determining what provision shall be made
 It Will be the policy of the govern ment to discourage litigation, and to deal directly with injured persons, to the end that the injured person may receive the benefit of any amount which the government pays. without expense of litigation, and without be- ing compelled to turn over one-third or one-half to an attorney. You may. | therefore, let it be known that such claims will be considered on it's merits
 Examine Fee Contracts
 As to fee contracts. You are au- thorized to exercise a wise discretion, and are not required to make payment as provided therein. but only on such terms as will enable the person in jured to receive just treatment. If the contract is unjust, you may pay the attorney such reasonable sum as will pay him for the services actually ren- dered

GREEN LAKE CHURCH
A Plea to Friends to Help in
Remodeling This Historic
Old Edifice. Committee
is J. w. Covington, G. G.
Terry, E. B. O'Brien.

Since last writing to your paper have
decided that was young enough to do
my bit to help win the war, so have
joined the United States Railway Service
with the Southern Railway shops at
Spencer, and am real engine doctor.
This is the largest shop have ever work
ed in in the way of machine shops. They
tell me there are about 1900 employed in
the shop and yards here. At present we
are working 10 hours per day with time
and half over hours.
am asked by friends from old Green
Lake Church to say word in their be-
half, as they want to repair and remodel
this grand old house of worship which is
probably the oldest church in use in
Richmond county.
Back in 1854 Rev. Lemon Schell held
brush arbor meeting at that point, and
old Pleasant Hill church in Beaver Dam
Township old Lyon in Mineral Springs
township and old Bear Branch Church
in Rockingham township were consoli.
dated and Green Lake built. The deed
made Oct. 2, 1855, by Dr.Robt. ]. Steele,
to Bryant Lovin, John Watson, William
E. Smith, William R. Gibson, Walter K.
Covington, Lafayette Lovin, Norman Nc
Leod, John Shortridge and Daniel W.
Gibson, Trustees. .,...
Three acres of land conveyed to them
for the consideration of one dollar, wit
messed by William and Asbury Sanford
The names of some of the preachers that
have served that church are Revs
Heptin STALL Gibbons, Wyche, Adams
| Iosenh Wheeler. T. w. Guthrie. Phillip
Greening, J. W. Jenkins and many others
down to Rev. E. L. Hill, the present pas
tor. Some of the local preachers were
Revs, Robt. S. Ledbetter, Henry Crow
son, James A. Crowson, John c. Smith
and Lenard Webb.
This church in my boyhood days from
1875 to 1885 was noted for its excellent
singing and annual protracted meetings
and large crowds attended from all sur
rounding country, but of late years it ha'
been badly crippled by so many families
moving to towns and cities, but faithful
few have remained and now they earnest
ly appeal to the many friends and de
scendants of the old clan,to come to thei
aid; they want to remodel this church ant
as soon as this work is done and tn
world war is over, they propose to hav'
one grand reunion on the old ground
and have dinner spread out on tn
grounds like olden times and gran'
rally in memory of the sainted father
and mothers that have passed beyond
So here goes onr bit; let's all chip in 70
this worthy cause!

Shall we together, hand in hand,
Sing round the throne on high?
The tears are falling down my face,

May sorrow bring US by Gods grace,
Where day shall have no night.
In that Eternal World on high,
lord, hear my humble prayer,)
When death, the monster death, shall die
May all this band be there.
With God, the great Eternal King,
When this short life is DER.
Pass by my lonely grave and sing:
Sorrow shall come no more"
Yes, old Lake Church, love you well,
And all your members true,
Poor sinner, shall | say farewell?
