A TRUE PATRIOT

During the progress of a Lib
erty Loan meeting last week at
Walnut Grove church, in Ozan
township, Charlotte Johnson,
an aged negro woman, widowed
and with two sons in France,
who were her only support, sub
scribed for a $50 Liberty bond.
In doing so she said, 81 aint got
no money, and nobody to help
me, but l can work and pay dat
much for my boys"
If all of us could feel as this
old woman does it would not be
necessary to advertise and push
these loans, but people would
ask for the opportunity to buy.

OBITUARY

Virginia l.. Yerby was born
in Alabama on July %, 1887,
and died April 27,1918, at her
residence in Hampstead coun-
ty, Arkansas. She became a
Christian in early life, joining
the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, of which she was a
faithful member till death.
She was the daughter of Jno.
and Annie Yerby and was mar
ried to Jas. j. Arnold in Mar,
1880. She made him a loving
and faithful companion till he
was taken away by death, and
was a mother indeed to his
children. No one without being
told would have suspected that
she was a step-nvother, so cor
dial were her relations to the
children, and they loved her as
a mother.
She was held in high esteem
by neighbors, as evidenced by
the large attendance at her fu-
neral, which was conducted by
the writer at her residence from
which she was carried to the
Arnold cemetery and buried in
hope of a glorious resurrection.

Tragedy Of the War Brides,
In the towns adjacent to every camp
and cantonment are scores OF rela.
uves of young soldiers who have fol-
lowed to be near their loved ones as
long as possible. Often a bride fol.
lows her husband, only to find that
his stay in the camp is about com.
pleted, his period of training is over
and he is leaving for the front. Living
In these camp towns is expensive. the
population has doubled or trebled
within few months, rents are high
and the cost of food soon exhausts the
slender means the bride brought with
her.
Perhaps she is looking forward with
mingled feelings OF Joy and anxiety
Tor the advent Of little stranger who
may never see his soldier father. Per.
maps she married against the advice
OF her parents-girls are prone to do
that sort Of thing-and does not like
to appeal to her relatives. What can
she do?
She can come TO the Red Cross and
tell her story, and right there her
anxiety may end. The Red Cross will
communicate with her relatives and
with the relatives of her husband who
has started for the front, from which
he may never return. These relatives
are urged to make some triflina sac
rifices on the altar Of civilization and
patriotism. They usually respond
quickly to the call.
Should the relatives fail the local
chapter Of the Red Cross in the town
from which the soldier came is noti.
fled and assistance is asked. With a
concrete case needing assistance the
local chapter never has any trouble In
raising funds to care for the expectant
mother.
Assistance Is Certain.
But If relatives and local chapter
fail the Red Cross does not fail, and
financial relief is extended-not as q
charity but as a right, as something
for which the soldier at the front is
paying with his time, ais body and
perhaps his life. The young wife ia

sns is all right, that he need not worry
