DEEDS Of INDIANS IN
PRESENT WAR INSPIRING
AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN
OF RED MEN ALSO SHOW
HEROISM.

Washignton. July 1.-THE deed:
Of Indians who have enlisted in
large numbers in the military serv-
ices are hardly more inspiring than
those of the women and children left
behind. This is partial account
OF the answer made by the people
on the reservations when the Great
White Father" in Washington called
to the tribes and races inhabiting
this land of freedom to rise in its
defense.
Reports received by Cato Sells
commissioner of Indian affairs, from
about one-third OF the Indian reser-
vations, indicate total Red Cross
membership of close to 10000, con-
tributions in money amounting to
more than $50,000 and further dona-
tons of thousands OF hospital gar
ments and knitted articles. That is
not full measure OF the Red Mans
generosity, however, for the reserya
tions do not house many Indians,
including the more wealthy, whose
activities are listed with
the general population.
Resorting to methods of the white
man to raise money, the Omaha
tribe recently held an auction for
the Red Cross which netted $1,000,
$500 for prize goat.
Indian Students Patriotic
The boys OF school in the north
west gathered 1000 pounds OF
moss for surgical absorb
ent pads. Some 400 Christmas boxes
were reported, which is incomplete,
as nearly all of the l2O boarding
schools have service flags with stars
angling in number from few to
wo hundred, and the pupils of these
schools are very mindful of their sol
lier representatives. One OF the |
arger schools reported Students

They have sewed on hospital

Men have come back without

There is something in our

the greater the satisfaction.

WORK OF THE CHIlDS' WELFARE
COMMITTEE.

Mrs. S. p. Hornsby, Chairman of
the Childs' Welfare Committee for
Tensas parish, with her assistants, has
been busy all week, preparing for the
work of measuring and weighing all
children i'm the parish under six years
of age. DR.. Noble and his assistants
have already completed the work in
the fifth ward, but the campaign in
the rest of the parish will not begin
until next Tuesday, tho Newellton
has named Monday for their day,
when all white children should be
presented to the workers at the
places designated, so measurements
and weights can be taken.
Parents living near Waterproof will
accordingly bear in mind that they
must bring their children to the
school house on Tuesday. Those near
ST. Joseph must bring their child
rem to the Court House on Tuesday,
and those living near Newellton will
bring their children to the school
house on Monday, while parents liv-
ing in the first, fourth and seventh
wards will bring their children on
Tuesday to whatever points the COM
mttees of these wards may decide on.
The work devolving on the Childs'
Welfare Committee is considerable
and involves no little expense, all of
which must be borne by volunteer
contributions. The following ladies
and gentlemen have already contrib
uted to this expense, but the fund
realized is yet insufficient and further
help will have to be asked: K. H.

To HAVE
AND TO HOLD

You have read and heard the
word 'Patriotism" a thousand
times during the last few
months. Just what does it
mean? 1t means sane, sensible,
enlightened selfishness. Being
patriotic means that you realize
that a certain line of condrct
will mean sacrifice, hardship.
for you, but that if only you
will make the sacrifice, and en-
dure the hardship, it will bring
lasting good and happiness to
you, your neighbors, your whole
country.
BY buying a Liberty Bond
you have shown that you have
the right viewpoint. Now the
thing to do is to see your resO-
luton through to the finish.
The soldier who volunteered for
service, went over the top with
a cheer and then stopped, dis
heartened, in the middle of "No
Mans Land" would be consid-
cred a poor soldier.
The man who stays at home
must take this lesson to him.
self. 1t is not sufficient to
merely enlist in the army of
Bond Buyers, the fight must be
fought to the bitter end. In
other words, pay your INSTALL
ments on your Bonds promptly.
Sacrifice and save during the
month of June for your July in
stallments; sacrifice and save
during July and August to pay
your August installments. Even
then you will have done only
half your duty. The command
Of our officers then will be
Keep your Bond" and as good
soldiers and patriots we must
obey.
Liberty Bonds are not money,
and therefore, should not be
used as such. They are mort
cages on all the land, all the
wealth in the United States.
When you lend money on a
mortgage, you do not take the
papers to the grocery store and
pay your bills with them, you
place them in the bank, and if
you actually need money to con-
duct your business, you borrow
money on the mortgage. The
same course is quite permissible
in the case of a Liberty Bond.
Remember when you hold a
Liberty Bond you are a patriot.
bearing your share of the Ma
tiOnal burden; when you sell it,
you have ceased to bear your
share of the burden and have
handed it on to some one else
to carry. This is not good Am
erlcanlsm, nor again Is 1t good
business, for where in the world
today is there better invest
ment for the man who knows
nothing of stocks, shares, bonds
or financial matters, than a Lib
erty Bond?
An investment without an
element of risk, which pays

good thing to have and to hold.
