QHlS is THE TRUE
RED CROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With q Big
Thought i'm 1t.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
in Bay City, Mich, received a hurry.
up call for $50 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was no:
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 48 hours. request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years Of age, each eager to lend
hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the front. All day
long the fingers Of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch un-
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making Of
the bags counted those completed and
announced that If every one of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished In time for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls, the little sisters, were wait
fkng for her at the door as she de.
lRahed.
Red Cross Dunnase Bags.
1--WE are awfully sorry, ma'am," said
the older Of the two, "but we can't
come back tomorrow. You see tofaar.
row we have to" And, without An.
ishing the sentence, she looked back
wistfully at the pile Of bags.
1T Is too bad you can't come back.~
said the superintendent, "but I want
to thank you, and we all thank you,
for the work you've done today. You
two have been a wonderful help, and
that pile Of bags wouldn't be nearly SO
big If you hadn't been here. Good
night"
The next morning when the super.
tntendent came down to unlock the
workrooms for the day she was aston
ished to see the two little girls stand
Ing In the cold by the locked door.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see your che
said. II thought you said ycp couldn't
Gomez"
"Oh, we knew those Red Cross bags
just had to be finished for the SOL
dicrs," exclaimed the little one, with
glistcning eyes, "and we got up at
three o'clock this morning and got the
washing done earlv!"

Traction Line Survey
 Fund Is Completed

Florence September 2.-(Speciall-The Chamber of Commerce committee ap- pointed ato raise funds for preliminary work on the Muscle Shoals Traction company's line in Lauderdale county has finished it's work. This countys quota of the expense for making survey from Florence to Huntsville was raised in a few hours by a committee composed of N. c. Biting, president of the First Ma tional bank; M. M. Stripln, mayor: Sen ator-elect B. A. Rogers, O. c. Hackworth, manager of the Tennessee Valley bank; E. R. Wright and S. w. Frierson. They were assisted by Frank L. Davies of Danville, H., who raised similar funds in Madison and Limestone counties.
 The same committee has been retained to make contracts for right of way through Lauderdale county as soon as the survey is completed and the line es- tallished.
 \ party of II engineers and road men under Chief Engineer Phillips has now reached Shoal creek, coming this way from Huntsville, and they report that the grade is much better than was antici- pated when the survey was started. The engineering work is being done by Wad- dell & Son of Kansas City and New Ycrk. who anticipate no difficulty in obtai ming government sanction for tine project. because of the improvement the rond will give to the transportation fa- clities in Sthe Muscle Shoals zone.
 Warren & Knight, architects, of Bir- mingham and Florence, have completed working plans for the 130 houses to be built by the government for housing labor in the Tri-Cities. Fifty-two of these houses will be built in Florence. the same number in Sheffield and 26 will be built at Tuscumbia as soon as the plans shall have been approved by the engi- neers at Washington connected with the housing bureau, war department. The site selected at Florence is near the point where the Jackson military highway en- ters the city. The Sheffield site is on Dover street. near Lincoln park. and the place in Tuscumbia upon which the gov ernment holds an option is on South Commons.

According to an English electrical publication, a valuable improvement has been, made in the shape of the ad- dition of metal springs to the aerials on shfpboard for the purpose of act ing, as shock absorbers. thus overcom- ing to great degree the tendency of this delicate instrument to be put out of service when the vessel experiences severe shock either from torpedo or accident. Heretofore it has been nee essary to take the aerials down when the vessel is loaded because of the movement and vibration in the masts caused by the use of the derricks.

PLANS FOR GUARDING
INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
War Department Declines to Send
Soldiers-Suggests Other Means.

Suggestions for guarding indus
trial plants have been given out by
the War Department. following
numerous requests for armed
guards which have been made to
the department. The War Depart
men recommends that factories and
plants supply their own guards and
take proper precautions, and
points out that all soldiers are
needed for service in France and
should not be detailed to protect
plants at home.
1t is stated that the man who Is
really dangerous is the man who
goes into the factory with proper
consent, and often an employe of
the factory itself, rather than some
outsider who might sneak past
armed soldiers on guard.
The recommendations embody
daily minute inspection of plants
from roof to cellar; careful scrutiny
Of workers az they enter, and leave
the plant, with special attention to
those leaving at odd hours; card I'm
dex system so that each employe
win be well-known to the employer,
as to whether he is a loyal citizen;
enlisting service of ulquestioned
loyal employees in discovery Of mis-
chief-makers.

readily understand the vital impor-
tance Of keeping the kidneys active.

Salts; take q tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast each
morning for q few days and your
kidneys win act hne. This famous

grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
clogged kidneys; also to neutralize

The whole trouble started when

BILL TOLIMIT
PRICES OF ALL
NECESSITIES
Rep. Ayers Contends That
Farmer Alone Now
Is Sufferer.

Acting in cooperation with repre-
sentatives from many agricultural
States. Representative Ayers, OF Kan
sas. Democrat. has introduced a bill
calling for price-hxing on all neces-
Stiles,
He and other members told of
many letters they had received from
farmers demanding that since next
years wheat price had been fixed
at s2.2s maximum, the price Of ma
terials the farmers buy also should
be tied down.
Want Cheaper OyeralIs.
The letters generally expressed fair
satisfaction with the wheat price, but
denounced the robbery" which It
was said farmers met In buying
everything from fertilizer and har-
ness 10 shoes and overalls. A North
Dakota member made public this let
ter. In part:
Before war prices struck US, was
able to sell q bushei of wheat for
80 cents and buy a pair Of overalls.
Now ] may get sls or 9 for my
share Of the wheat price, but my
overails cost me rs. And they call
the farmer q profiteer,
Ayers bill authorizes price-hxing on
wearing apparel. hides. leather. wool,
cotton, and all implements and uten-
sils essential to the production OF
food. He said it. was identical with
the original price-fixing bill. which
later was amended so that authority
under II was greatly restricted.
What actually occurred" said
Ayers" Is that all the strong political
forces got exemption for their particu-
lar articles. I saw a Southerner today
and he fairly few round In circles at
the suggestion that we TX prices Of
cotton.
'I told him my farmers had to pay
high for their overalls because of his
cotton, and II he wanted TO buy cheap
wheat, he shouldn't kick on selling
cheap cotton"
Representatives from the wheat
States will ask hearings on the Ayers
bill at once.

saturnalia of murder as a game,
and they are playing IL as a game,
in which they hope to win all they
can. and keep all they get; or, los
ing, which was q later thought,
give up the least possible.
There can be but one end TO q con-
fiict between the cold trickery of greed
and the passionate conservation to
high purpose; for. on that day when
honest men determine to be no more
under the domination OF n murderous
bully. the days Of that bully are num-
bered.
This one knows it.
When the German proclaims his be-
lief in an ultimate victory. shifting
his gauge of the shifting OF that vic
tory with the shifting occurrence OF
| the day, according to his warped judg-
ment of how the occurrences of the
day may AFFECT other peoples, he lies.
and he knows that he lies!
The handwriting Is on the wall for
Hohenzollernism, and that fact may
best be known by the size Of the
scarecrow which the German attempts
10 fiaunt before the world; for the
louder he shouts the more he is
scared. His only hope Is now before
his next reverse shall come, to SO
frighten the world by his brazen blus-
terings that he can finish his game
i with as much as possible on the win
ming side.
The same German blindness!
The same German deafness and
dumbnessl II the French were play
ing a political and an economic game,
as Germany Is. II they were trying TO
pretend. as Germany Is, that they
hold a royal flush in place of only a
pair Of deuces, then they might be
frightened out by q stack of blue
chips, or a shoulder shaking chuckle
Of pretended confidence; but they are
not playing q game.
French Determination.
The French are pouring out their
hearts blood because they are filed,
through and through. with a rage
against war, and they are determined
that there shah be no more of It!
Let Russia collapse, and let the Ger
man loudly proclaim that now the war
Is over, since there Is no need to wait
for America; and let him loudly call
that now his beaten foes may come
to the peace counter and haggIe for
such scraps of peace as may still be
bought.
No answer from the French, ex-
cept that their original purpose is
unchanged They will fight on un-
til France Is saved, and until the
world Ii safe for humanity They
are filled with a rage against war!
Le the German assidiously cir
culate blood-curdling reports about
the great offensive which. before
America can get into the war, Is to
be conducted with the troops re-
leased from Russia; and the answer
is the same.
The French will meet the offensive,
and there is but one answer to
| filled with a rage against war, and
they are determined to end II, once
and for all!
Let Italy meet a terrific reverse,
\ and there is but ont one answer to
the blatant growing Of Germany, anx-
\ ious to make peace before America
can get in. to quit while the quitting
is good! Only one answer; the
French will fight on, for there Is in
them a passionate rage against war,
| and war must go out of a woI Id in
habited by civilization, since there is
not room for both!
